Charles Bauercamper with the Townsend
Gun company, has finished his new patent
shell crimper and within week will put
it on the market. II is most novel little
machine and a great labor saver. 1t has
capacity of eighty shells minute.
The match at 100 blue rocks between C.
b. Randlett and Frank Crabil. both OF Coun-
Gil Blufs, came off last Thursday and was
Won by Mr.. Crabil on the small margin Of
two birds. At fifty birds MIR. Randett had
lead of four birds, he having scored forty
six out of fifty to Crabills forty-two. At
seventy-fve birds the contestants were even,
and at the finish the scores stood eighty
nine to eighty-seven, cracking good scores
for anybody to make. The gentlemen are
thinking of shooting another match. which.
II they do, will be very interesting from
the fact of their being evenly matched.
Speaking of matches. what is the matter
with Gus Bierscheim taking a shy at Rand
lett, Crabill, or some of the others? He s
certainly good enough.
Since the Dupont Gun club are anxious
to shoot a team race what is the matter
with the Omahas arranging to shoot them,
say series of three races, ten men to
side, one match on each club grounds and
then toss a dollar to see where the deciding
race would be shot? Now get together, boys
A most pleasant surprise was perpetrated
on Colonel w. II. S. Hughes. the honored
president of the Omaha Gun club, Saturday
When he arrived at the club grounds and
started to remove his old Lefever from it's
gun case, imagine his surprise to find therein
a handsome new $50 Greener, a token of
friendship and esteem from the club men,

ordered by the committee having the mater
In charge, and was made especially for Mr..
Hughes, being an excellent duplicate in
weight and measurements of Mr.. Hughes

lowy Atlantic, enroute for the home of the
British lion, where, sometime in mid-Sep-
tember, he will meet Pedlar Palmer the
stocky English champion, for the worlds
honor in the midget class. All l can say
anent this fight is that it ought to be great
Cne. The Boston lad knows nothing but fight
and will be hard to rout, and yet l am con-
strained to pick the Johnny Bull for a win
ner. Both have had considerable experience,
but Sullivan lacks several of the qualities
that go to make up a great man, while
Palmer possesses them all

Billy Townsend is shooting live birds in
fine form. At the last club shoot he scored
fcrty-four out Of a possible forty-ive. with

enough to go to the races on.

If anybody happens to drive up and ask
you, you can tell them that Con Young and
Bill Brewer of the Duponts are shooting
clip that is extremely hard to beat. Their
average is something like 80 per cent

One of the most promising of the new
shooters Is Mr.. Snyder of the Townsend Gun
and Wheel company. This is Snyder's first
year at the traps. but he frequently scores
twenty-three and twenty-four out of twenty
five, and is what Is known as a ''comer."

When Colonel Parmelee beat all the cracks
at Clear Lake recently and walked off with
the high average for the tournament, he
made it possible to determine who is the
best all round shot in the world. All the
fine shots in America and, for that matter
in the world, were there, the targets were
thrown low and swift and the birds were
picked lot of Charley Grm's own make
If there is anybody in the country who can
beat Parmelee either at live birds or blue
rocks, or both at a clatter Omaha sports

Alfred Carlson and John Bloomburg, the
two market tisherinen tried before Justice
Powers on Wednesday last for illegal fish,
ing in Cut-Of lake, were discharged. The
facts are that th9se'two shameless poachers
were arrested for fishing with "trot lines, /"
which does not seem to be included in the
prohibitory clause OF the law. And while
Judge Powers was probably right In letting
these fellows off, they are warned here that
the sportsmen OF Omaha will see that they
remain strictly within the confines OF the
statutes, and If caught with nets or selnes
will be given dose OF justice that will
last them for the balance of their days.

Another Scheme Finds Suckers.

Sunday was the winding up in this
vicinity of II very successful business
enjoyed by wo mcu who registered at
the Burr hotel as Il. Wartelsky and !
Levy, After learning the name OF Our
local icwclcr, Il T. Pitcher, they made
out II copy of an order for 500 worth
of jewclry With tins they visited Il
large number vt farmers, principally
north of Alma, aud represented to
them that they were closing out some
iewelry from n store that recently
failed in ioIdregc, representing the
goods to be first class, and as %conclu'
sive evidence would site their victims
to the copy Of an order for these goods,
amounting to W 800 from the local
icwoler. The prices on this order
were made To correspond with the
prices asked the farmers for the same
goods, and rs a result they sold several
hundred dollars worth of absolutely
worthless stun. One farmer not far
from Alma was duped Tor $50, and Mr.,
Pitcher has been receiving an unusual
number of friendly calls his week,
from those who were taken in, iuquir-
ing the value of their purchases. 1t is

We are informed that a set of swim.

pretended business is that Of establish.
ing agencies for selling feed mills or
grinders to farmers. The farmer SO.
lected by these sleek fellows as their
agent is one who never reads an agri-
cultural paper, and one who 10 easily
led to believe that a small fortune
awaits him through the sale Of the
mills. A few days after signing the
supposed contract this guileless farmer
Is confronted with a note having his
signature attached and there is nothing
better 10 be done than to pay It; and so
the farmer is out at one fell swOOp a
sufficient sum Of money TO keep him
self and family supplied with the right
kind of reading matter for years.
There is nothing pays a better prem
ium on the investment than the habit
of reading to a moderate extent and

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Prayer was offered by DR. Crum, of
Iowa, and the Convention proceeded
at once to the consideration of the re-
port. Section 9, relating to the per
capita tax proposed by the commit
tee, led to another heated discussion.
The Per Capita Tax.
The Massachusetts delegation we're
opposed to the tax, and sought a re-
duction. The delegates from Maine
also favored a reduction to fifteen
cents, and thought more money could
be secured on that basis.
Rev. Mr.. Grier, of Wisconsin, was
in favor of the per capita reported by
the committee.
Indiana also contended in favor of
the easily divided sum of twenty
cents per member; five cents a uar-
ter was none too much.
The discussion was continued for
