AN OLD SETTLER GONE.
Death Claims c. l.. Perry.

After an illness of several weeks, C.
L. Perry died at his residence in this
city, Tuesday forenoon. His old
friends have seen that he was breaking
down for some time. but it. was only a
few days ago that he finally gave up
aud took TO his bed, aud even the
morning that he died he got up and
walked across the floor. The funeral
services will be held today, Thursday.
He was sixty-two years old and leaves
two sons, Scott, aged 10, and Clark,
aged Il, to mourn his loss.
He was one of the first white men to
make his home in this part of the
country, having settled on Birch lake
in 1866, when only about nineteen
years of age, and has resided here ever
since,
+ He owned 120 acres of land on the
north side of the river and plated that
portion of the village known as Perry's
Addition. He was public spirited as
far as his means went and when the
Sheridan Lumber Co. desired to build
mill here, he donated the site.
He had served as member of our
town board and made a good official.
He was an honest man, generous to a
fault, and had no known enemies.
We are indebted to Mr. Finn Lawler
an old comrade and friend of his. for
an interesting sketch of his early life
here, which lack of space prevents US
from inserting here but which we will
give to our readers next week.

More Noise, Please.

In talking over the minute Factors
that have made profit or loss to manu-
facturers. some curious details were
given me by experts.
For instance, one clock manufactures
Of Birmingham, found that a certain
rival was doing large trade in cheap
clocks sent out to the wilds OF Africa.
He got hold of sample clock anu
finding that there was heavy prohe
in the enterprise, invested large sum
of money in making still better CLOCK
thousands Of which were shipped TO Tue
same market. Strange to- say, sales
were very slow, while his rival. turning
out a cheaper and far less accurate
timepeace. was selling all he eouia
make. Finally the explanation came
Savages like noise. The clocks maze
by the original exporter had partcu-
larly loud and aggressive tick; MS I'M
tator made a better clock, but 1t was
almost noiseless. and the saVaseS
would have none of it. The remedy
was simple. The next shipment oi
clocks to the Guinea coast licked more
loudly than anything previously heal'
there. and all went well.-Pearsou

transportation was so bad some vehicle

four-wheeled vehicle, being composed
of wood battens and basket work, its

A canopy ran the full length, and there

tom of the American navy to exercise
the crews at frequent intervals with
battery practice the same as IN war;
his response was that it must cost
tremendous sum of money and De
great waste Of powder. Most assured
ly it costs large sum of money out
that preliminary cost saves a sun
greater one. Spain spared expense IN
training her seamen to shoot, with the
result that when they were forced 10

much as the most liberal outlay FOR

to. We spared no expense for target
practice, and when it came to hard
knocks we knew how to deliver the
blows that then cost us but little and
gave us victory. The moral OF this
story lies on the surface. Which ma.

Admiral Sampson bombarded the for
tifications at Santiago for two months
and they were afterwards found to be
practically uninjured. Commodore
Schley fought Cervera's squadron for
8wo hours and destroyed or sunk every
one OF the enemy's ships. These two
facts show one of two things. namely;
That Sampson did not know how to
reduce land Notifications or that such
defenses are impregnable to assaults
from the sea. In all probability the
latter conclusion is nearer the truth.
and, while it viii not flatter the pride
of the navy, 1t will give the people of
she coast cities of this country COM
PORTABLE assurances of comparative
safety from destruction by foreign
deets.

In 171S an Englishman. James Puckle,
secured British patent for what
seems to have been an attempt ut a
breechloading. rapid-flring gun. An
original feature OF the invention was
the use Of two different breech-plates.
one for square bullets. to be used
against the Turks, and the other for
round bullets to be used against Chris
tians. 1t Is curious to find two oppos-
ing tendencies In the same invention:
"a the desire to construct a gun that
should be more effective because more
destructive, and ~ desire to recog-
nize certain ethical distinctions In Its
use. If round bullet was too good
for Turk, a square one was too bad
for a Christian. These two tendencies.
one operating to make war more de-
structive and the other to mitigate its
harshness, are struggling for pre- emil

INDIANA'S EARLY GOVERNMENT
Relics Of the Fret Capital and Con-

At Corydon, the first capital Of In
diana, are the relics still standing OF
the first government Of the State. One
is the old State house, built in 1911 for
the Territorial Legislature and offices.
The building was not completed until
1915. The State was admitted into the
Union in 1915 and the State officials
used the building until 1925. The build
ing is still a solid structure.
The second relic is the constitutional
elm. The constitutional convention

The Springfield rifles carried by the
United States army are subjected to a
great deal of abuse on account of the
smoke turned loose when they are
fired. But smokeless powder can be
used In the cartridges of the old Spring
fields as well as in the Mausers and
1[rag-Jorgensens. and now 1t is stated
that the War department has ordered
the use Of smokeless powder in the fu.

have smokeless powder. but they have
demonstrated that they can win vic
tories with the old-fashioned kind.

1t Is not to be expected that the
United States will be able to emerge
from the war with Spain without being

demnity from different governments

these demands are made they will
