THE MAUSER BULLET.
How Wounds Made from It Differ
 from the Old Kind.

from the Old Kind.
 Ever since the Mauser bullet was in- vented and so generally adopted by the different nations of the civilized world men who follow the military and sur gical professions have been anxious for an opportunity to study it in a practical application such as war alone affords.
 Col. J. Herbert Stevens, a physician and surgeon who has been in Cuba many months, has observed the effects of this bullet. He says there is no hope for the soldier who stands behind a tree for protection when this bullet is used, for it passes through the trunk of a tree with as much apparent ease as it would through cheese. Men struck by Mauser bullets have been known to continue fighting to the end of the bat tie, even after they had received what is generally supposed to be mortal wound. In almost every case this bull let passes clear through the victims body, and the wound of exit is usually no larger than that of entrance.
 The old-fashioned bullet usually whirled round and round, tearing the
 
 if coming in contact with bone, shat tering it in splinters. The wound of exit, too, would generally be large enough to insert a mans fist.
 Whenever a man was hit in the arm or leg by one of these bullets it was almost always necessary to perform amputation, if the victim did not die beforehand from hemorrhage. With the Mauser bullet all this is said to be different.
 Experience in the Cuban war has demonstrated that only very infre- quently does wound caused by a Mauser bullet result in hemorrhage which might be fatal, except where one of the great arteries has been torn or severed.
 A case in point may be cited: A Cuban soldier was shot through the right lung-a wound which, if caused by an ordinary bullet, would be consid- cred fatal-but the Cuban went on fighting for two hours after knowing he had been hit. There was practically no hemorrhage, and, with such surgical treatment as could be given him, even in the very limited hospital department of his army, he was up and about in eight days after the battle.
 Another remarkable case is that of a man who was shot through the leg, be- low the knee. The bullet passed through the flesh, muscles and bone, and yet the man kept on fighting for some hours after receiving the wound, not realizing that he was seriously injured. After the battle he was attended to by sur geon. It was found that the bone had not been splintered, and there was no hemorrhage, and in very few days the soldier was up and about with his com patriots.
 If this wound had been made by an or dinary bullet it would very probably have "mushroomed" and torn the tis- sues, arteries and flesh and splintered the bones, necessitating amputation.
 The use of the Mauser bullet by the Spanish, perhaps, accounts for the very small mortality in the ranks of the in- surgents, and it is because the latter use the old-fashioned bullets, and al- most any kind of a fiream they can get hold of, that they wreak havoc with the Spanish whenever they come together in an gagement.-Boston Herald.

dius OF fifty miles, with Wichita as a
center, according TO the state agricultur-
al report for 1897, just published. there
were raised S,e79,206 bushels Of wheat
alone, or nearly 20 per cent of the yield
of the entire state. OF corn and oats and
other grain there is no end, and destiny,
no less than the prestige of its Indian
founding, together with its superior cen
trail location and superb surroundings,
warrant the only possible conclusion that
in Wichita is TO be found the future COM

sas.
The fact OF a center necessarily in
wolves that of a circumference. The
greater the circumference the more Inn
portant the center. Wichita is not only
tn center OF a wheat circumference but
that of a corn area. While within the
comparatively small compass Of fifty
miles in all directions from this central
point nearly % per cent OF the entire
wheat yield of the state was raised, the
yield OF corn for 1897 in the same area
amounts to 12,i93,724 bushels. If wheat
means flour and bread, such a yield OF
corn just as certainly means meat TAX
en- together, they not only mean bread
and meat, but they mean money, and
money means business, trade and devel-
opment.
Thus We have in Wichita a center of
Indian traditions and traders, center of
wide valleys and productive prairies,
center Of an agricultural circumference
which produced 5000, 900 bushels of wheat
and 10000, 600 bushels Of corn the past
season, a center OF live stock interests

ket. center of schools and churches, a
center OF railroads and of jobbers and

headed, 1.-The Party of the Future" He
is correct in thinking hat The Messen-
ger has no purpose to so much as sug-

That was not in all it's thoughts. The
Messenger is a democrat, fighting for
democratic supremacy in North Caro-

the wilderness Of sin n darkness and
desOlation but through triumph of the
grand old democracy that has been
ever faithful, ever serviceable to the
state and a positive protection and help

friends by it's benignant, fair, honest

Mans Party" shows precisely h
The Messenger was s~eeking-the real
bulls eye on the target at which it
aimed. Let us reproduce enough here
to indicate its purpose, it's meaning:
".The negroes practically are the rad
ical party, aided by a 5000 Or $4,000
white contingent who prefer office or
the hope of it to their own race and the
real welfare Of their state, native or
adopted, as the case may be. = :
They vote as commanded, and know
not the consequences Of what they are
doing. They have about as much
