of life-size figures In the postures OF
war had been raised to tempt the skill
| of the men.
They are eerie things, these targets.
| At IL distance of 200 to 800 feet they
| look like the shadows of men posing
menacingly, and this effect proves that
the designer of the new silhouette tar
gets was clever man in that he ac-
| complished exactly what he set out to
do, represents figures as engaged In
actual warfare.
One of the marksmen, returning from
his first trial at unknown distance
skirmishing, looked as pale as though
he had seen the proverbial ''ghost.
''It's mighty sight too real, he
said. Il feel as though / had killed a
man. shot through his heart. The
marker told me So"
The targets are arranged on the
small hillock formed by the excava-
ton of the ditch. IA yards long by IA
| feet wide and 10 feet deep. This ditch
/ is for the accommodation of the mark
ers, who can raise and lower the tar
gets while the shooting is going on

en- distance, frem 200 to 1900 yards
from the targets. Officers in charge
of the troops are stationed at the side
and call out the men in small squads
for practice.
There is much emulation in practice
and the record-keepers of the various
troops are often called upon for the
number of points in last summers
practice made by close rivals.
Crouching as though shadows of the
silhoutte on the targets, kneeling like
that other great shadoN'y figure, or
standing as though taking aim, or
lying prone, the figures of the real
soldiers are like multiplied duplicates
of the pictures on the standards. When
pistol practice is in progress the men
are mounted and gallop about an i'm
aginary elGptical trap, shooting at the
bull's-eye as they go.
The man who stands at the fore in
the present encampment is sturdy Ser
geant William j. Spencer, who has

Dwellers in the vicinity of the rifle
range at first find music in the varying
bars of the trumphet that mark the
changes in this varied daily program.
The notes reverberate among the hills
and echo far out among the oaks that
clothe majestic sides of Pilot Knob.
But these sounds soon lose their ab'
sorbing interest when the sharp crack
of the carbines is heard, and curling,
ethereal wreaths of smoke float above
the targets on the red buttes.
All day the Intermittent sounds oi
one-sided warfare can be heard and
the dying oak trees whose bark has
| been ripped or whose heart pierced by
bullets that have passed through the
all-penetrating targets testify to the
deadliness of aim of the marksmen.
The medley continues with few inter
missions from dawn to sunrise. Each
troop has at least eight hours practice
as its share of the six targets hoisted
| above the buttes.
Tomorrow the camp will be tenn
porarily deserted, for the troops leave
by train for Chicago for the unveiline

bespoke foreign birth drew for me the
distinctions between sharpshooters and
marksmen, and what are known as
first, second and third class wielders
of the Krag-Jorgensen carbiue.
"A sharpshooter is one who hres
carbine the prescribed number OF shots
in record practice at the rectangular
targets, at 900. 500. 500, 600. 800 and
1000 yards, and together with the
score of skirmish firing shall make 67
per cent. of the possible aggregate
score.
"A marksman," he continued. lis
one who fires the prescribed number
of shots with carbine in record prac-
tice at rectangular targets at POO. 800,
500, 600. 500 and 1000 yards. and to-
gether with the score of skirmish fir
ing. makes 50 per cent score.
The frst-class shoot ut distances of
from 200 to 600 yards under the pre-
scribed regulations and make SO per
cent. The second-class men shoot at
the small ranges. making a record of
IS per cent. The third-class are those
who. under the conditions prescribed
for the second-cIass, fails to make As

CIRCUS COMING.

Mr.. 5. III. Joseph, agent for the

ed in the city last night to arrange for
the appearance of the show in San An
tonic next fall. 1t was at first believ-
ed that no more big shows would Wis

heavy taxes on circuses. Where the
tax was formerly 500 per perfor-
nance it is now $500 where 81 admis-
sion is charged, $400 where 70 cents
admission is charged aud 5000 where
30 cents or less admission is charged.
The price charged for reserved seats
is calculated in the admission Side
shows and menageries are taxed $15
extra.
