SHELL MOUND SHOTS.
The Nationals Preparing for Their
Rifle Contest With the Sharp
shooters of Honolulu


The Nationals Companies G and G)
were out in goodly numbers at the Shell
Mound shooting range yesterday, prepar-
ing for the inter-republic rifle match with
the National Guard of Honolulu. This
watch has been on the tapis for the past
two mon ths when the challenge was sent
by the local marksmen to the rihemen of
the island republic. The challenge was
promptly accepted by the Hawaiian SOL
diers who, it is claimed, have grown very
proficient in the use of the military mus
ket.
The conditions are that each team shall
consist of fifty men, and each man is to be
allowed ten shots. The match will be held
next Sunday, the local rifemen to shoot at
Shell Mound and the Hawaiians on their
own range, short distance from the city
of Honolulu. Each team is to be repre-
sented upon the others range. The off,
cial scores, duly attested up the represen-
tative, will be forwarded by the next
steamers leaving the two seaports.
As the Nationals are constantly prac-
ticing at their monthly competitions, but
little special preparation has been made
for the big event, but number who have
been a little negligent of late took turn
at the targets yesterday. The scores made
were:
John Ritter AZ. James smithson 46, Captain
Dumbrell As, Chris. Meyer A, A. II. Vaughan

and at once reappointed his iieutenants of
1895. The gentlemen are very popular
both in their own and other cycling circles.
There were more wheelmen in the park
yesterday than have been seen there at one
time for months. Although all the organ
lied clubs were out in full force, they were
but small proportion of the immense
number of riders, for there are ten times
as many unattached riders as there are
clubmen. That the San Leandro road is
not in ridable condition was evidenced by
the fact that the Acme and Reliance clubs
both crossed the bay and rode through the
park. The Wheelmen took advantage of
the first pleasant Sunday they have had in
three weeks, and all day long the various
drives and bicycle paths were crowded.
No serious accident happened to mar their
pleasure, and the riders were full of praises
for California's midwinter weather.
The changeable gear for bicycles is COM
ing more and more into vogue, and will be
used to large extent the coming season.
When the rider understands and appre-
ciates that he can have high and a low
gear on his wheel and be able to use either
at will, it is pretty certain he will avail
himself of the opportunity and not over
tax his strength climbing steep hills with
high gear.

But new ideas in the construction OF the

present date. The one record he still

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The Weekly Crop Bulletin is
sued by the Missouri Section, CHI
mate and Crop Service, Weather
Bureau, for the week ending Sat
urday, May I'd, says:
the weather during the past
week continued very favorable for
the growth of all crops, except in
few of the central and mort. ern
counties, where there has been a
lack of moisture. The mean tenn
perature of the week was from 4
to degrees above the normal in
the western aud southern sectiO S.
Light froStS occurred in a few 10
calities on April 29th and May 2d.
but no damage was reported. The
rainfall was local in character and
unevenly distributed, but in most
sections there is sufficient mois-
ture for present needs. Over most
of the southern counties the total
rainfall for the week ranged from
so inch to 2 inches and in few
localities in the southeast exceed
2 inches. 1t also exceeded 2 inches
in few localities in the northern
counties, but generally, north of
the Missouri river, it was less than
l inch In few of the northeast
ern counties rain is needed ve1y
badly.
Wheat, oats, grasses and gar
dens are doing well in nearly all
sections and in the southern coun-
ties wheat is beginning to head.
Chinch bugs are reported in many
counties, but have done but little
damage yet. In several of the
southeastern counties, however,
worms are doing considerable dam
age to wheat and meadows.
In many of the southern coun-
ties corn planting has been con
siderably delayed by rains, bu, in
most of the central and northern
counties work has progressed well.
Early corn is generally reported
good stand, and, where the ground
Is not too wet, is being cultivated.
Flax is doing nicely in the south
west and G. tton is coming up well
in the southeastern counties.
There is some complaint that
fruit is dropping badly, especially
In the southern sections, and
caterpillars are doing considera-
BILE damage to apple trees in some
districts. Early Strawberries are
ripening in the southern counties.

Good Roads.

In all sections of the En- st where
wagons with broad tires have been
tried, the result has been so salts
factory, that there is no probability
of return to narrow tired wheels.
Instead OF ditching the roads, they
have a tendency to level them.
This part of the country is not
really for this innovation Just vet,
to be sure, but it does need earnest
work at the beginning of move
ment for better roads. This is
something every citizen should
grow interested in; it is subject
to be studied in an intelligent and
business-like way. There are men
who have given it little though t,
there are mossbacks who oppose
all measures of the kind from
chronic dread of taxation. There
is no surer avenue of expenditure
with good returns in Missouri than
lies in the possible improvement
of our roads. 1t means much to
merchant, the mechanic, the doe
tor, the minister, the farmer and
everybody else. 1t means at
traction for immigrants and an in
ducement to manufacturers; it
means an appreciation of proper
ty and a diversity of opportunities
all around. Nature has done much |
for Missouri but it will never give |
it good roads. Think it up, talk
it up, work it up. Let us emu
