LAMP. THR0RLA'4 At KSnN-

The people of Dawson seem to take
their amusements very seriously, and
perhaps that habit is characteristic of
the inhabitants of newly-settled COM
munities. They work hard during the
hours Of labor and when the time for
relaxation comes, they devote all their
energies to play. One Of the recrea-
tons at Dawson, and a very expensive
one it is, too, is lamp-throwing, a
branch Of athletics in which Miss Belle
Mitchell at present holds the champion
ship.
A year or more ago, Miss Mitchell
was conversing animatedly with a
prominent citizen of the town. when
she suddenly found herself possessed
by a craving for her favorite indulgence
and threw a lighted lamp, using the
head Of the aforementioned citizen as
a target. No lives were lost. but the
contlagration that followed was very
serious. For a time after this occur
renee, Miss Mitchell refrained from
lamp-throwing, thus affording opportu-
nifty for the restoration Of the town
through the erection Of new buildings
out a month ago, the habit again got
the best of her while entertaining n
guest in her own home, and when tbe
lire department arrived. the house was
past saving. From this time, Miss
mitchell appears to have abandoned
herself to sport, and her last EXHIBIT

possible for men to be shot through

The larger bore Of the Old Springfield

proiectiles, produced terrible wounds
and a much greater percentage Of death
or permanent disability.
An interesting phase of Dr. Della

exactly with the observations of the
officers and soldiers At a largely at

The Hartford Times seems to think
that the federal government was bun
coed when it adopted the Krag-Jorgen-
sen rifle for the army. I'VE have never
yet seem" it says, "a word of testl-
mony in favor of this weapon by any
competent expert who is not personally
interested in its behalf, No leading
officer of the army outside Of the ord
nance department, has ever said that
it is the best gun that could have been
chosen" The last statement need not
be disputed The Times knows that
it is the ordnance department that has
to do with the selection as well as the
manufacture Of arms, and if there are
in our army any experts whose opin-
ions are valuable they are as likely to
be found in that branch Of the service
as in any other. 1t is worth noting
in this connection, that the war de-
partment has just decided to arm the
entire army with the Krag -Jorgensen
and as fast as the new guns can be
packed and sent forward, the Spring
fields in the hands of the soldiers will
be retired and turned into the arse

breaking the catch on one Of the VIM

and the inner office was also forced

Several empty specie bags were TAX

There was evidently no attempt to get

or if there We're, 1t was a failure. There
are little or no clue as to the identity
of the burglars.
Several tramps passed through the
town yesterday, 10 staying over night
at the tramp house. It is reported that
a stranger was seen in town about 6
O'Clock last night, inquiring where Mr..
