SPOKANE THE FAvOR|TE
Many Marksmen Think It's the
Best Place to Meet At.
ITS CENTRAL POSITION
Plenty of Good Reasons Why the Annual
Tournament or the Northwest Sports
mems Association Should Be
Held There Regularly.

When the Montana State Sportsmen S
association held its meeting in this city
last month the proposition of making
Spokane the permanent place of hold
ing the annual Northwest tournament
was discussed, and it was the almost
unanimous sentiment that no city be
chosen. 1t was argued that Spokane
being centrally located, geographically,
ailures to it from the other cities in
cluded in the territory which embraces
the membership of the association was
naturally the most desirable place. At
that meeting suggestion was made to
the effect that every state club donate
500 to the club holding the annual
Northwest shoot, the money to be APP
piled to purses. This proposition was
submitted to the several state clubs and
will be acted upon next year The tour
nament has just closed and Montana
shooters showed up very well. The
proposition to make Spokane tourna-
ment headquarters came up at that
meeting, and the Chronicle reports the
sentiment of several members as fol-
lows:
Spokane will be hot place in June
every year after this if Seattle and An
aconda have their way about it. The
sportsmen of Anaconda and other Mon
tana cities do net like the idea of tray
cling away over to the coast to attend
a shooting tournament and Seattle
sportsmen feel the same about going to
Montana points.
Therefore they wish the Sportsman's
association of the Northwest to decide
upon Spokane as the permanent place
to hold the tournaments. BY so doing
they declare that there will be better
attendance and that it will make
great saving in railroad fare to the
greater number of the members as the
railroads would give excursion rates if
it were held in the same place every
year.
THE idea was originated by DR.
Schultz of Butte and proposed to the
Montana State Sportsman's association
by him. AS it received the hearty ap-
prevail of all the Montana men, Dr.
Schultz preached the idea to the sports
men who are attending the tournament
here last evening at the banquet
There was no action taken in the
matter last evening as he wished sim
ply to put it before them and give them
time to think about it. There would be
no use trying to do anything with it at
this meeting, as the next tournament is
promised to Victoria.
&c. E. Ellis, r. d. Cox and w. f.
Eberly expressed themselves as favora-
BILE to it in short after dinner speeches
and nearly all the members seem to
like the idea, especially those from
Idaho and Montana points.
Nothing definite will be done about
it until the state tournament at Seattle.
In the meanwhile Secretary c. H. Smith

Providence, or Fate, or Whatever 1t May
Be Called, Saves Many a Person
From Death and Accident-Ra-
cent Instances in Butte.

The kind and powerful hand of Prov
idence performs many deeds which are
soon forgotten in the headlong rush
towards the end of time. In cases where
the hand fails to prevent the disaster,
it is charged up to fate and the record
is burdened with the weight of another
sad entry. Escapes from death are per-
haps more frequently noted than is
death itself, in which case the balance
of power will readily be seen depending
from the hand of Providence. In other
words, were this invisible though po-
tent power to rest in an attitude of in
difference the death rate would be more
than doubled A few instances are
cited to show that while the hand of

The song itself is poetical and must
cal gem. as is perhaps indicated by the
various inscriptions on it such as dim
)e POGO rail- etc. The words of The
song go like this:
Through the woody path she goes,
And her heart is filled with joy,
Singing like a lark, a lark,
l. have no lovers heart to toy,
Yet I'm happy, happy, all the day.
La-a-oo, la-a-oo, la-a-oo, la-o-oo:
Oh, I'm so happy, Oh, I'm so happy,
I'm happy all the day,
I'm happy all the day.
I'm happy all the day.
That's good, so are the two remaining
verses, which read as follows:
"A tired soldier sauntered by,
And a peeping through the trees,
Listened to the song of the lark.
Straightway came loves Cupid dart,
Ere he knew, knew had lost his
heart.
A few days since have passed away,
Only two graves can be seen,
One a brave soldier boy,
The other a broken hearted maid
Who ne'er again will sing to the
trees"
1t has been pretty warm in the East
lately. in fact the record for June heat
has been broken. Here is the explana-
ton in the letter received from Mrs

day long. l am sure success will come
soon. This weather is very tiresome

Mrs. Carver says she has called on
General Merritt and he has been of
much benefit to her, but the man from
Butte he has not been.

NEW RAILWAY.
It Il to Cross the Holy Land from
the LseapOrt of Haifa to
Damascus.

Secretary Hay has received details of
the new railroad which is to cross the
Holy Land. The proposed capital is
$50,O00,000, but no shares will be put
on the market, SO it ia said, until the
line is completed as far as Nazareth.
The road will run from Haifa, sea-
port town IS miles south of Beirut, to
Damascus, distance Of 142 miles, and
the project includes an extension from
Damascus to Bagdad and the Persian
gulf.
While the Jaffa-Jerusalem, the Bel
rut-Damascus-Haura and the Leba-
non tramways are narrow gauge con-
Germs the Haffa-Damascus railway will
ne of standard width. 1t is primarily
intended to tap the great Hauran wheat
regions, which are only partly de-
veloped, being still under the sway OF
Bedouins and Druze tribes, and to af-
ford another outlet for the growing
trade Of Damascus, the largest city in
Asiatic Turkey.
Active operations have commenced
on the division between Haifa and the
Jordan, and the line is to be completed
in less than two years as far as Damas
Gus. The Thames iron works being
crowded with orders, it is likely rails
locomotives, and other material will b
bought in the United States.

FAMOUS DUELIsT IS NO MORE.
Hero of Remarkable Encounters
Succu mbs to nfirmities
of Age.

Joe Bowman, aged s4 years, familiar
ly known in his neighborhood as "The
Old Duel Fighter" died at his home in
Jessamine county, KY, the other day.
He had many encounters during his
time, killing four men. In 1S43 he and
a man of the name of Shelling were tied
together and given knives and turned
into dark room to fight it out. When
the door was opened Shelling was dead
and Bowman badly wounded. Next,
while on a raft in Red river, Mississippi,
he fought an Italian, throwing his an
tagonist into the river and drowning
him.
After the war Bowman had an old
fashioned duel with u man of the name
of Williams, in which both men had
seconds. Williams was killed. This was
over love affair.
Years after, while living in Arkansas,
Bowman's past record caused the bully
of the state to attack him. The bully
was killed. Bowman came back to his
Kentucky home to die, after roaming
about for the greater portion of his life.

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-Capt. Marks,
a Cleveland sea captain, according to
information in possession of the state
department, entrenched on his ship

WILLS HIS BODY TO A DOCTOR.
The Peculiar Case of a Man Who Died
in the Ohio Peniten-
tiary.

c. N. Cunningham died the other day
in the Ohio penitentiary, where he was
serving term for forging the name of
Judge Z. II. Hamilton, of Cleveland, to
a check for 900. His was peculiar
case. His attorneys tried to prove that
he was insane as the result of pressure
on the brain caused by an injury re-
ceived in early manhood by being
thrown from a horse.
Before the trial and while the pris-
oner was out on bail he was taken to a
hospital, where he underwent the
operation of trephining. Three ply
sicians gave it as their opinion that
there had been sufficient pressure on
the brain to cause insanity. Cunning
ham was held to be sane, however, and
was convicted. When he went to
prison he willed his body to doctor at
Cleveland andeit is now the intention to
conduct a post-mortem to ascertain the
exact condition of his brain.

CORPSE SHIPPED AS BAGGAGE.
. Body to Save Payment
Of Fare.

The body of man was found in
box in the freight depot at Kingscross,
England, the other day. The box had
been consigned from Middlesborough
to London as containing theatrical
properties.
The discovery aroused suspicion of
murder, but it was ascertained that the
body was that of William Ryder, known
in the music haAs as Jimmy Green,"
who had died from pneumonia. 1t had
been consigned by Tom Pritchard, the
manager of the Collinsor Burlesque
company, who said Ryder's last words
were:
'"Take me back to London, too."
Pritchard was short of money and
consigned the body as theatrical lug
gage to save expense. The consequence
was that the body was brought to Lon
don for 16 shillings, whereas if it had
been shipped as a corpse the cost of its
transportation would have been near
ly a12.

LIGHT ON THE COHERER.
important Discovery In Wireless
Telegraphy Made by Professors at
the University of MissOrri.

Profs. NJ. Fl. Lockwood and E. B.
Wheeler, of the University of Missouri,
at Columbia, announce that they have
discovered the true action of the
coherer, the most important instru-
ment used in telegraphing without
wires.
The properties of the coherer have
heretofore puzzled all experimenters.
The result of the experiments con-
Quoted by the professors will be of
great value, it is expected, in practical
application of the new discovery.
Investigation has disclosed that the
action of the Branley tube is due to an
actual cohering of the particles. The
action consists first in I'm electrostatic
attraction, causing the particles to
come in contact; and, second, in the
fusion of the points of contact. An in
strument has been made which clearly
reveals these facts. 1t is composed of
two electrodes, one metallic plate
and the other a metallic point carried
on a pivotal arm swinging in a vertical
plane.
If a considerable difference of po-
tentiality is maintained and the point
brought in contact with the filings and
then carefully lifted, a thread will at
tach itself to the point and may be
drawn to two or more inches in length.
The professors have constructed a
thread coherer and a receiving instru-
ment.
The experiments have been highly
satisfactory and soon will be conducted
on larger scale than at present.

The revival of the mischievous story,
