An enthusiastic supporter of Cush-
ing at Buffalo thinks steps should be
taken by the state to procure his ser
vices for the st. Louis exposition in
1908. But where does Lieutenant
Governor Bartlett come in while these
bouquets are being passed around?
The lieutenant governor is certainly
entitled to credit for the work he has
done for the state at Buffalo.

GRAND FORKS HERALD BELIEVES
COL. VIM. THOMPSON SHOULD
HAVE PLACE IN HALL OF FAME.

HAVE PLACE IN HALL OF FAME.
Grand Forks Herald: The man
ayers OF the st. Louis exposition OF
1908 to celebrate the centennial Of the
Louisiana purchase propose that there
shall be at the exposition a hall Of
fame, in which shall be commemorated
in some suitable manner two persons
from each state in the territory who
have performed valuable services for
their state. The names of men now
living will not be considered. Men Of
various occupations who are In touch
with public life have been asked to
suggest names, and there have been
numerous responses.
Our. old friend Farmer Wallace,
Of Bismarck, suggests the. name Of Col.
VIM. Thompson and the Herald heart
lily seconds the suggestion. Those
whose memory IS honored III this man
ner should be the pioneers who were
builders and organizers. They toiled
and suffered and their earthly reWarrd
was scant. 1t is the least that the
people of this generation can do to pay
a tribute Of respect to their memory
OF this class Col. Thompson, the pio-:
neer statesman, the friend Of Lincoln,
the legislator who helped to mould the
laws which created the great common
WeaIths west OF The. Mississippi. HIS
personal character, his unremitting In
dustry, and the close personal connec-
tion which he had with this territory
entitle5 him to an honored place in the
memory OF our people.
Another name which could fttingly
be inscribed on the scroll Of honor is
that Of Col. Enos stutsman, d man
able, brilliant and sagacious, whose
best years were spent in what Is now
the state Of North Dakota, and his best
efforts given to the development 81
the great west. # #S
The name Of Father Genin has been
suggested, and this, too, seems fitting
and appropriate. AS pioneer mis-
~sionary his name forms a connecting
link between the present and the past,
between the days dc modern industrial
progress and the days Of the French
trader, between modern civilization
and ancient barbarism
Such names as these are worthy Of
places in our western hall OF fame,
The names OF men who were pioneers
Of thought and pioneers of action, who
had much to give, and who gave II
freely for the npbuilding Of our west:
ern empire. Their tolls, their string,
giles. heirprivations are over and wa
who have benefited by their efforts
can do no less than honor their lem
cries.

The BULLS EYE.
X. N. G. Rifiemen Have Their
First Trials.
Use Their New Range Thursday
Afternoon.
LONG DISTANCE SHOTS.
Range Varies From 100 to
1000 Yards.
Accurate Scores Kept to Decide
Award Of Medals.

A squad of ten men from company A
Kansas National Guard. spent pcr-
ton of Thursday afternoon shooting on
the new rifle range at Guilford Dud-
lev's farm, south of Quinton Heights
1t was the first shooting which has
been done on the range, and opens
summer campaign of target practice
which promises to be interesting, not
only to the soldiers themselves, but to
the public.
Shooting with 45-caliber rife at dis
tances varying from 100 to 1000 yards
is a sport which is rather novel in
character to all except those who live
near a United States army post The
civilian marksman usually devotes his
attention to trap shooting with shot
guns.
Beginning next Saturday, the boys of
company A will have camp near the
rife range, and will shoot every morn
ing and evening for a week. On July 4
the shooting will continue all day, and
many spectators will probably be pres
ent.
The shooting is not without a definite
object Scorekeepers make a careful
record of every shot fired, and at the
end of the season, the scores are hgur-
ed up, and reported to the head officers
are given by the state to all members
of the Guard who reach a certain per-
centage on the seasons score. There
are six classes of marksmen to whom
medals are given, namely, first class
men, rifiemen, marksmen. distinguish
ed marksmen, sharp-shooters and dis
tinguished sharp-shooters. The med9ls
are of bronze, silver and gold A gold
medal is also given to the company
making the highest score of the sea-
SON.
Last year, the Topeka company did
not do much practicing with the rifle
as it had no suitable rifle range But
on the score of the season. rif1emen's
medals were given to three members of
the company, w s. Erble, H. f.
Shortz. and George Triggs. Almost all
the present members of the company
We're members of either the Twentieth
Twenty first or Twenty-s Kansas
regiments during the Spanish war. They
have therefore had the benefit of real
military experience, and know how to
shoot. It is thought that the boys will
make some high scores on the range
this season.
The target used is an oval, six feet
tall and four feet wide. It has a wood
en- frame, and is made of muslin. There
is pit below the target. where the
target keeper and scorer sit. Each sol
der fires ten shots in succession, at dis

tances varying from 100 to 1000 yards.
The shooter does not know just how
far he is from the target. He must es-
innate the distance, and set his sights
accordingly. After he has fired his ten
shots, the target keeper sticks PAPER
over the holes which have been made IN
the target, announces the score made,
and the next marksman begins.
The highest possible score for ten
shots is fifty. This means ten bulls
eyes. Each bulls-eye counts five, the
first circle four, the second circle three,
the third circle two. Each man can Sc
lect his own position for shooting. E,v-
cry shot is fired from a different dis
lance from the target. Most OF the men
shoot lying down as they can get a
better and surer sight.
W. s. Eberle, captain of company A.
is making a special effort this year to
make the work of the company inter-
esting and profitable.
I'VE want to have the largest and
best drilled company in the state here
at Topeka" he said to a reporter for
the State Journal. Most of the COM
panies in the state consist of 40 or IS
men. The Topeka company will be re-
cruited up to the maximum-65. We
still have about is vacancies in the
company, and are anxious to fill the
places with good, respectable men, Of
fair education. Anyone who has a lik-
ing for military work viii find the driil
of company profitable and interest

posed of clean, earnest young men, who
enjoy military life, and who are sincere

company the best company in the
