RIFLE PRACTICE.

It has been finally decided to call, on the Fist of the present month, meeting of the inspectors of rife practice, with a view l to f9rmuiate pr th Se. or % rules ana reg guard to know what they are to do at the State shoot in May. The regulations now in force, adopted in November 1896, and put into effect last June, are mass of transformation and impracticability that is equaled only by the useless red book of the guard. The regulations say:
 Target practice in the National Guard shall be held in the months of January, May, Sep tember and October. and at 200, 300 and 500 yard ranges and skirnish firing
 Each officer and enlisted man will be ai- same will be fired as follows: One score of five shots at each of the 2oo. 300 and 800 yard ranges i'll January; of i've shots at each of the 200. 300 and 500 yard ranges in September and one score of five shots at October. Provided that each officer and en- listed man must make score of at least 15 mitted to ire at the soo-yard range: p and he must make score of at least b at the 300- yard range before he vii. be permitted to fire at the 500-yard range; also score of ten shots at skirmish firing in May.
 The language of this one of the many sections of the regulations is what has promulgation. If 1t means that there shall be target practice in January, May. September and October at two, three and five hundred yard ranges and skirmish
 
 how they can accomplish that with only fifty-five rounds of ammunition. using up forty-tive rounds at the shoots in Janu- ary, September and October. which would leave them only ten rounds for target and skrmish practice in May. The schedule omits the month of May and the infer ence from the proviso is that the ten shots must be used in skrmish firing In that month. If that is the case then there can be no skirmish firing at the shoots in January, September and October, al inference paragraph that there Is to be skirmish firing as well as firing at the three ranges.
 Another matter that has created great deal of dissatisfaction is that part which declares that if a guardsman fails to score at least 15 at the 200-yard range at the January shoot he is disqualified from shooting at the other ranges. and they construe that to mean that if they fail to score at the f1rst-named range they are disqualified for the balance of the year They claim that this is an inJus- for honors. It will be the duty of the board of inspectors, which has been called

SPOILING FOR A FIGHT. Jacob Heinz and Edward J. Ford Spent Their Easte- Sunday in

Jacob Heinz and Edward J. Ford. two young men, went into the store of F. K.
 Weiss, florist, Eddy street, yesterday morning. They were under the influence of liquor and objected to the price of the flowers they had asked for. They made themselves so offensive that Weiss requested his neighbor, E. Phillips, a tailor, to go for the police.
 Phillips started out on his mission and Heinz and Ford followed him. At the corner of Powell and Eddy Ford attacked
 Phillips and a crowd gathered. Police man Fennell came upon the scene and placed Ford under arrest for battery upon Phillips. Heinz interfered with the officer and attempted to drag Ford away from him. Fennell drew his club and
 hit Heinz over the head with 1t. A citi- zen demonstrated with Fennell and dur ing the discussion Ford threw Fennell down the steps of the Louvre and ran along Powell street. Several citizens started in pursuit. and he was captured after running a couple of blocks. Fen
 nell put the handcuffs on him and also took Heinz in charge. At the City Prison two charges of battery were booked against Ford, the complaining witnesses
 being Tailor Phillips and M. J. Gannan,
 who went to Phillips assistance Heinz
 was charged with battery and disturbing the peace

THE NAVAL MILITIA.

During the past week there has been a great deal of activity in the naval militia, not only at this port but all along the coast. The divisions are being recruited up to the maximum, which is l04 rank and file. Under instructions from Lieu tenant-Commander Nerney, acting cap- tain during the temporary absence of Cap tain Turner, in the matter of enlistment the preference is given to men who have some knowledge of the sea. As it is, the recruiting has been quite active, and the acting captain is confident that in very short time a full complement of men can be secured. He also feels confident that the militia will be called upon to go on board of the Monterey and the Monad- nook
 In the event of war an effort will be made to secure some of the fast tugs to be used for the. purpose of chasing and capturing privateers which the Spanisn Government proposes to turn loose upon the high seas to prey on American mer- chantmen. If such as the Fearless and the Vigilant can be secured for that pur- pose it is the hope of the officers of the militia that some of their men will be se- lected for service on board.
 The men at this port are being drilled with view to make them thoroughly familiar with their duties on board ship sc that in case of need they will not have to go through a second course of inStruc- ton.
 The officers are perfecting themselves In navigation and the progress that they have made in the past two months is very satisfactory to their instructor.

BURGLARS IN A SALOON. Ed German, of the Argonaut, Loses
 His Money and Goods.

The Argonaut saloon on Mission and Twelfth streets was entered by burg lars early Sunday morning and lot of articles were stolen. When the proprie- tor, Ed German, entered the saloon yes- terday morning he thought everything of value had disappeared. He at once noti- fled the police headquarters, and Detec- tives Fitzgerald and Graham of the Mis- sion district were detailed on the case.
 German locked up the saloon shortly before midnight Saturday night and a few minutes later the policeman on the beat saw the saloon lighted up, but he thought German was still there. If ne had taken the trouble to make an inves- tigation he would have found the burg lars at their work.
 German places his loss at between $40 and $4o cash. and several bottles of liquor and boxes of cigars. Entrance was ap- parently effected by means of a skeleton key, and it is thought the burglars are residents of the neighborhood.

|. W. Zimmerman of the West
Side grocery has secured the ex
elusive agency for a new filter that
promises to fill long felt want in
this section of the state at least.
1t is called the Sutton Tripoli filter
and is a natural stone filter, made
in Seneca, Mo-, and is designed
for family and general use. 1t is
simplicity itself, being made in
five different sizes according to
the filtering capacity desired. The
block of stone is penetrated by a
series of drill holes in one of which
is inserted tube set with cement
to which is attached white rub
Der tube about three feet in
length. Every drop of water in
the operation of the filter is re-
quired to pass through the solid
tripoli filter stone in order to
reach the rubber tube through
which it is dawn off perfectly
pure and sparkling. All filth,
microbe, bacteri and germ mat
ter and sediment OF every chdrac-
ter contained in he w.tter will be
found deposited on the urface of
the filter stone after l,ing it and
may be quickly removed and
thoroughly cleansed by occasionly
washing the filter stone with a
brush and water. Persons inter
ested can call Mt the West Side
grocery and see filter in operation.
