\ PROPER WAY TO USE A REVOL YER
Practical Information By An Expert On the Typical Amer
can Weapon.

plated gun is very snowy. 1t is imprac-
teal compared with the quieter, but
more ominous steel blue. In the sun
light an accurate aim cannot be taken
over a nickeled barrel. while a blue
barrel causes no trouble. At night a
nickel gun is plainly seen, where a blue
gun would be invisible. Then. too, a
blued gun is much more easily con-
cealed than a nickeled one. The same
things apply as to light or dark ham
dies on Gevolvers. Wood or rubber is
far better than ivory or pearl. 1t is
always an advantage to keep q weapon
concealed until the instant it is really
needed. A revolver will be seen quickly
and easily enough without coating it
with shining nickel.
MAKING BULLET MORE DEADLY.
When it is desired to make a 40 bullet
more deadly, split the ends into four
equal parts, with knife or a saw, as
far down as the shell. When this enters
anything it will open like a four
pointed spinning star as large as half a
dollar. and will tear hole in any living
creature large enough to run your hand
into A shot of such nature through
the arm or leg would mean the sure
loss of that member. A shot in the
body would mean quick or instant
death However, such bullets are only
for short range, as they so tumbling
end over end after flying any distance.
1t is only matter of practice to be
able to shoot a light, frst-class revolt
yer accurately, such as the 90 or 9S

serious study to be able to master the

Hold the gun as loosely as possible,
with the elbow bent and the whole arm

When the shot is fired the As will spring
up and back sometimes almost to the
shoulder. 1t is then in just the right
position to cock by catching the ham

voivers can make a tomato can dance

ing to aim under or to one side of an
object. If this is necessary in order to
hit the mark aimed at then either the
sight requires attention, or else the
gun is pulled to one side or upward by
the trigger finger just at the mornent
of firing. This can be avoided by hold
ing the gun as lightly as possible in
both hands. one clasped over the other,
and smoothly pulling the trigger with
both forefingers. one tip pressing op the

Narrow Escape of Charles Wilkin-
son of Cedar City.
HE BLEW OUT THE GAS
WHILE OCCUPYING A ROOM AT
THE WALKER.
Fortunately For Him, he Has a
Strong Constitution and the
Transom Over His Door Was Open
Physicians Had Hard Time to
Resuscitate Him.

/ There are two reasons why the ma
terial makeup of Charles Wilkinson
does not occupy slab at the morgue-
first, he has strong physical constitu-
ton, and, second, the transom to his
room at the Walker house was slightly
open. Two physicians are laboring to
resuscitate him from the effects of as
phyxiation.
Mr.. Wilkinson is a Well-to-do farmer
| from Cedar City. He arrived in town
! Friday, accompanied by his daughter
and son-in-law, F. A Cameron. The
party went to the Grand. theatre last
night and enjoyed the opera ''Mikado,' =
returning quite late, and it is presumed
the old man was quite sleepy when he
retired to his room, No. 121. Mr.. and
Mrs. Cameron occupied room us, Which
! is near by.
It has been Mr. Wilkinson's custom
| for years to take some exercise before
breakfast and he never changes this
rule, even when in the city. When his
| daughter, therefore, raped at his door
| about 10 o'clock and received no reply,
she did not feel alarmed, thinking, as a
matter of course, that he had taken a
| longer walk than usual. She called
again once or twice before noon, but no
response. About l o'clock in the after
]
that something might be wrong, and
the hotelkeeper brought a step-ladder
and took a look through the transom.
He discovered the occupant lying on
the bed, froth oozing from his mouth
and nostrils. The door was forced open
and the window raised to allow the gas
| to escape. DR.. G. V. Parmelee was has
tily summoned, and he called to his
assistance Dr. Hanchett. The two
physicians worked for several hours
without any marked Improvement or
the faintest sign of recovering con-
seriousness. Last evening, however, he
began to rally and, though still uncon-
scious, the physicians expressed the
opinion that he was out of danger.
The affair was, of course, purely ac-
cidental, and is best explained by the
daughter, Mrs. Cameron. She said her
father was in the habit of extinguish-
ing lamps by turning down the wick
and then turning it up again. 1t is
quite likely he turned out the gas be-
fore retiring and then involuntarily
turned it on. Had not the transom
been open slightly, he would undoubt-
eddy have been dead before discovered.

to face an actual treasury deficiency.
The s462. 900 of income arising from
the sale of bonds under this admins
tration and that Of President Cleveland
viii then have been exhausted, and the
treasury will pass from the condition
of a borrowed surplus to an actual
deficiency. Such. condition must be
met, either by increased taxation, or by
the issue of treasury certificates or by
an addition bond issue.
Notwithstanding this deplorable
treasury situation, which has been
called over and over again TO the atten-
ton of congress and the country, ap-
propriations have been made which in
many cases. have not been warranted
by the interests of the public service
or which. II proper in themselves,
should have been postponed until the
national income should be ample TO
meet all its liabilities without the
necessity of bond issues.
THE ACTUAL TOTAL.
THE appropriations of the original
billion dollar congress amounted to
Il, OBS, $50, 1884. The appropriations OF
the congress Just ended reach the
mighty aggregate of 81, $50, $50, 016.2S. 1t
is fair to deduct from this total $iS2, 562,-
0S3.47, made necessary to meet the
liabilities the Spanish war. So if we

The appropriations of the congress just
ended to meet the ordinary govern
mental expenses exceed those of the
preceding (Forty-fourth) congress by
S39, 747. Gas. "a Not only this, but the
contract liabilities authorized by the
congress just expired for new ships and
their armament, public buildings
rivers and harbors, and miscellaneous
items amount to $70,602,524. If, there
fore, TO the ordinary appropriations IS
added the liabilities on account of these
authorized contracts, we ascertain that
the appropriations and contract liabili-
ties amount to the tremendous total or
81, 154, $50, 1851.
These Increased appropriations have
gone for French spoliation claims,
public buildings, rivers and harbors,
Bowman act claims and hundreds Of
other projects, some meritoriouS, but
many of them not entitled to recogni-
ton by the national government. In
nearly every branch of the civil service
of the government there has been an
increase of appropriations.
THE time has come to reform the
scale of national expenditures. The
reckless improvidence of the outgoing
congress will at least serve the good
purpose of arousing the people, and of
causing them to send representatives to
the national capital who will reduce
the burdens imposed by riotous ap-
preparations.

New York Evening Post

New York Evening Post)
a letter published in Berlin, credited
to a German traveller, gives a striking
account of the mannee in which Man
churia has become already Russian
province. The writer says that Rus
sian soldiers are in all important cities
and places, with strong garrisons in the
large towns, while there are Cossack
posts in each Of the many villages and
single posts near the mountain passes
and river fords. The whole country be-
tween NeWchWang and Vladivostock,
and between Chita and Kirin, seems to
be organized by Russia on military
lines. More than 5000 men are at Vlad-
livestock, one battalion at Kulan, three
battalions at Sanrin, en- the Lower Sun
gari; one battalion at KhOtCn and
Tsits,ihar, en- the Upper Sungari, and a
strong garrison at Hunshan, On the
Corean frontier. Along the great wall
there are strong posts at kalgan, Faky-
mum, Tuling, Nodun, Ingquen and Ping
shau Several battalions are quarteced
in the villages along the Shara Muren,
and CosEacks patrol the whole country.
Near Kirin two battalions of engineers
are engaged in converting the small
path from the Upper Sungari to COrea
into a broad military road, and all thu
highways throughout the country are
being improved. Posts have been es-
tablished at the fords of the rivers and
bridges built over them. Chinese high
roads are on the whole, pretty good. so
that, in order to secure the ccmmunica-
tons Russia has had nothing TO do but
to enlarge or improve the highways and
to station posts in the villages, which
are about fifty kilometres apart from
each other. At Tsitsihar two COM
panies OF pioneers are building the pro-
jected railway through Manchuria,
which is to run from the Yalu river to
Achilau. and then over the Khinsnan
mountains to Zuru Kaitui on the
Amoor. CosSacl1s, with Ruz,5o-Chinese
flags on their lances, patrol the whole
line. Their pennon is triangular pioee

finger tip which touches the trigger. If
possible, sit down when firing, With the
knees raised, but spread apart. and the
elbows resting on the knees. Quick, ac-
curate shooting can be done IN this
way. This position also has the ad-
vantage of placing one near the ground,
in case one is being shot at while firing
his own revolver.
HOW TO CARRY a REVOLVER.
There are number of ways of carry
ing q revolver. A large gun should be
carried in a holster swung on a belt.
Even pocket gut should be carried in
a holster in the pocket. Soft rubber
and leather holsters, used so commonly
are a nuisance. Although affording pro-
lection from perspiration. and thereby
from rust, the soft covers cling % re-
volver like wet buckslSin when one
wants to draw it hurriedly. The oest. in
fact the only satisfactory holster,

A GUN ON HORSEBACK.

When on horseback and armed with
a gun swung on the right hip, the belt
can be loosened so that the gun will
rest almost in front far down on the
inside of the right leg. Here 1t rests
very easily when one is galloping rap
idly, and can . drawn instantly When
on horseback always wear the gun on
the belt instead of fastening it to the
horn of the saddle. When fastened to
the saddle, ones horse and gun some
times disappear together. The best
way to carry a large Colts gun without
using a holster and belt is to throw out
the spring catch that prevents cart
ridges from falling out of the cylinder,
and use this catch as a hook that catch
es in the waistband of the trousers or
vest at the small of the back. In this
way, although at first the revolver may
feel rather insecure, a large gun can be
carried without trouble even in not
weather. when perspiration would rust
an unprotected gun in the pocket. In
cold weather, or when protected from
sweat, this method of carrying a gun
can be used and the gun carried in
front under the vest hooked to the
waistband of the trousers. This is
favorite method Of crooks and other
professional criminals. To carry one,
or even two, long, large guns concealed
without using a belt and holsters, even
when wearing a short coat, put the
handles of the guns in the hip pockets
with the barrels pointing to the back
bone under the vest. All of these
methods are comparatively awkward,
but are useful to know. If one can have
an excuse for wearing an oyercoat- the
very best way of all to carry either one
or two guns lis to carry them in the
outside breast pockets under a large,
fro c
guns can be quietly drawn from the
pockets, noiselessly cooked and carried
in the hands ready for instant use but
still be unseen. If at short range one
can shoot through the cape, if neces-
sary. This is the quickest. easiest and
best way to carry and use a revolver.
The weight in the breast pockets is dis
tributed over the shoulders, so is not
noticed much.
This method of carrying a gun or a
pair of them can be improved upon by
wearing one or, better, two large guns
on belt of cartridges strapped around
the waist outside of the overcoat. Your
enemy keeps his eye on the two guns
in sight. little suspectfng the pair that
are probably already cooked and aimed
at him beneath the cape. If a pair of
long barreled Colts, 715-inch barrels or
over are carried on the belt in plain
view IOT lOuS-IdISe SHoOtIHS' anu oiSo
as blind, and a pair of IS Smith &
Wesson, or better, a pair of sawed
off, ass, are carried in the breast peck
cts of a cape overcoat, or in the side
pockets of an ordinary short coat, then
one is QUILTED in the best possible
manner so far as revolvers are con-
cerned. The breast-pocket pair can be
used. either one or two, for ordinary
pocket use when occasion does not re-
quire one to be heavily armed or pre-
pared for instant trouble.
