GATHMANN GUN FAILED
On1y Dented the Big Armor Plate-Arm
Gun Wins.

New York, Nov. 1S.-Gathmann's
dynamite shell, fired from his big
eighteen inch rifle, the largest gun in
the world, proved itself a disastrous
failure at Sandy Hook, barely denting
the big armor plate against which it
was fired. The ordinary army twelve
inch rife, with an armor-piercing
shell filled with a small charge of high
explosive, scored an extraordinary
success, however, and produced re-
suits which will startle the great Ia
val countries of the world and which
perhaps may revolutionize naval arch
itecture.
The Gathmann projectile, which it's
Inventor claimed would reduce an ar
NOR plate to powder. failed to make
any serious impression on a target
made to represent the side of a mod
ern first-class battleship. The army
rifle, however, not only fired a shell
completely through the armor plate,
but exploded the shell on the inside
wrecking the target and absolutely de-
strOying the cofferdam structure of the
modern big battleship.

Twenty-Five Japs Killed.

Helena, Mont, Nov. 19.-Reports
have been received here of a disas-
trous wreck on the Great Northern

eastern part of the state. An east

ductor Charles Bach and Engineer
Raypier collided with a work train and
twenty-five Japanese are reported to
have been killed. The extra was run
ming twenty-five miles an hour around
sharp curve in the track at the time
Of the accident. So far as can be
learned the Asiatics were the only ones
injured.

sin, Being Mistaken for Deer.
Marinette, Wis, Nov. 19-The In
dams located on tie headwaters of the
Eagle river in the northern wilds of
Marinette county are stirred Up over
the disappearance of Wambago, and
they charge his disappearance to the
white hunters in that locality. They
say that he was shot by white man,
who mistoOk him for a deer. Charles
Kerhena, a friendly Indian, called at
the camp of the PeShtigo Lumber COM
pany and warned the men in camp that
his people would certainly avenge the
deed if the dead body of their missing
brother was found. A hundred bucks
are now out scouting the woods in that
locality.
The Eagle river is one Of. the best
deer hunting districts in Wisconsin,
and there are many hunters there now.
superintendent Burke Of the Peshtigo
company spread the alarm as fast as
possible and warned all the hunters to
leave. AS result there will probably
be a general exodus, bue many of the
hunters will not be seen in time to
warn them. The Menominee Indians,
who really belong to the Shawano res
ervation, have a settlement on the
Eagle river and live there in a perfect
ly wild state.
There is great concern felt for all
the men who are now up in that dis
trict. The Indians are certainly great

of Wambago, who was one of the lead
ing men of the tribe. Sheriff Murphy
Of this city is considering the feasibil-
ity of sending a posse into the wilds
to spread the information and protect
the hunters as much as possible. There
are many hunters there from different
parts of Wisconsin and Illinois.

The American sailor, so far as our own

statement in your contributors article,
and what pity it is to be true. Is it not
enough to make any Americans blood
boil to know that American seamen have
been driven out of their own ships by the
brutality OF their officers, and these bru-
tai officers are not American, either.
The only claim they have on America IS
that they speak English and can caIcu-

$4,000 The Gazette does not believe in
a public market. 1t fails to see the result
ant benefits which will justify the expendi'
ture of $40, 900 for a market.
The Gazette believes that propositions 1,
and 4 will meet with little, if any, serious
opposition. The matter is presented to
the taxpayers that each proposition is con-
sidered separately.
This question is of vital Importance to the
people of the town-to the taxpayers in
particular. We hope that the solution that
will be made of it will be in accord with the
progress of the times.
LAFAYETTE cannot afford to retrograde- In
recent years the town has moved along on
the highway of progress at very satisfac-
tory gait. That the town needs modern
school building is conceded by all, and that
an extension of the waterworks and electric
light plant IS a necessity, cannot be gainsaid.
The only way to secure these Improvements
is to pay for them and the~most equitable
manner to raise the money is by taxation.

HOW 1T WAS RAISED.
An Incident of the Industrial
School Campaign Not Gem
orally Known.

| 1t will be remembered that the
contest for the Industrial Institute,
which resulted SO happily for La
fayette, was not won without what
the politicians call "stiff fight"
Every honorable means had TO be
employed to secure the coveted
prize. OF course, it is we'll under
stood that no man or set of men
did it all. 1t was a victory achieved
by the people of the whole parish,
and, as Schley said about the battle
of Santiago, there was glory enough
tor everybody, but there is one in
cident of that interesting contest
which is perhaps not generally
known. For fear that it may have
escaped the attention Of some The
Gazette will give that incident this
somewhat tardy notice.
A few hours before the PROPOSE
lions of the competing towns were
submitted, the men who had La
fayette's interests IN charge held
hurried consultation and decided
that more cash was needed to win
voted, but it had not yet been col
lected and there was no money OBJ
tainable from that source. 1t was
proposed to have the local banks
paid out of the revenues of the
tax. OF course 1T was necessary to
secure the required security as a
guaranty to the banks. 1t was then
that the following gentlemen at
tached their signatures to four notes,
each one being for $4,000: N. P.
Moss. Julian Mouton, VIM. Clegg,
O. (. Mouton, Charles O. Mouton,
E. G. VOORHEES,, c. Debaillon, VIM.

rard, S. R. Patterson, Chas. D.
Caffery, l. A. Broussard, H. NJ.
burke, Alt. A. Delhomme, l.. G.
Delhomme, A. NJ. Martin.
This very commendable act on
the part of these gentlemen raised
Lafayette's cash donation to
$4,000. That was the elbow
that nearly killed father" and all
competitors gracefully conceded the
victory to Lafayette.
Of course, it has not been neces-
sary for the guarantors to pay one
cent of the ten thousand dollars;
neverth eless, they m manifested a spirit
of progressive may say of patri-
otiSm-which is not often seen in
this selfish old world.
