RANGE RECORDS.
Company F Boys Make Fine
Records at State Range

The detail from Co. F, 51st Regt.,
1. N. G. which has just returned
from the school of instruction in
small arms practice, held at Cedar
Rapids during the past week, upheld
in every way the reputation of the
company as being. orderly fellows
and crack shots.
The detail consisted of Sergt. Rine-
hart, Corp. Drinkle, Corp: Baugh-
man and Private Middleton. The
team as whole shot we'll up with
the highest scores, while Drinkle
took 1st at 200 and 800 yards and 1st
at disappearing target, he using the
old Springfield rifle, and Middleton
with the "Krag" took 1st at 900 yds.
in the regiment. IDrinkle also cap
tured I'd at 200 and 300 yards and I'd
or Sd in the skirmish runs and Mid
dleton 1st at 600 yards in the State
| Shoot.
Baughman made scores of over 40
at 200 and 300 yards and Rinehart
was well up towards the 4O's out of a
possible so at each target.
Some high scores were made dur
ing the week, and, with few excep-
tons, the men did much better than
heretofore.
The SD regiment made the high
est average as a regiment.
There were no medals awarded for
high scores as has always been the
custom before. The only cash prizes
were in the pooling for bulls eyes.
The range is an ideal one; has a
level field up to 800 yards and an al
most perfect pit with IA targets. This
allowed "a men to shoot in the fore
noon and the same in the afternoon,
each man firing forty shots, making
a total of about 1000 shots per day.
The first three days were given to
ordinary rife practice and school of
instruction, and the last two days to
disappearing target and skirmish
firing With the disappearing tar
get the men were limited to Sec
onds for each shot and in the Skin
mish runs were given 80 seconds to
load, adjust sights and fire at the
600, 500, 400 and 300 yard ranges re-
spectively, and 80 seconds to fire 8
shots at the 200 yard range.
The officers in command we're Col.
Thos. F. Cook of Algona, Gen. In
spector of Small Arms Practice,
Capt. Thrift of Dubuque, Acting Ad-
iutant, Major Hume of Des Moines
and Capt. Smith of Webster City,
range officers, and Capt. Cusing of
Dubuque, pit commandant.
The boys report a fine time, an
orderly camp and hope to return
again next year under the same Of
ficers.

BUSINESS CHANGE
Hull & Fitch Dissolve Partner
Ship. Firm Becomes R. F.
and W. B. Fitch.

Elsewhere in this issue is a notice
of the dissolution of the partnership
that has existed between s. II. Hull
and r. F. Fitch in the wholesale and
retail harness business. and harness
manufacturing. The change dates
from today, Tuesday, June is, Walter
B. Fitch becomes member of the
firm from date and the style of the
new firm will be R F. and W. B.
Fitch.
The change adds another chapter
to the history of one of the best
known saddlery houses in the west.
S. II. Hull entered the employe of
the L. L. Hull saddlery house about
fifteen years ago and by faithfulness
and meritorious work he came to be
part owner in the great business.
Frank Fitch entered the service of
L. L. Hull March 1, 1895, and took
the duties of a travelling salesman.
He served well and also became in
terested in the firm. March 1, 1890,
the firm name became L L. Hull &
Company, Messrs. Hull & Fitch be-
coming associated with l.. L. Hull in
the business. L. L. Hull retired from
the firm January 1, 1895, and the firm
became known as Hull, Fitch and
Whitacre. Elson Whitacre taking an
interest in the business. Mr.. Whit
acre retired from the firm Novem-
Der /, 1897, and the firm name was
changed to Hull & Fitch. The retir-
ing of Mr.. Hull as announced today
from the partnership makes another
change in the name of the house
which now becomes R. F. and W. B.
Fitch.
Mr.. Hull during his connection
with the house has been making i'm
provements in harness and harness
hardware. He has secured patents
upon these and the manufacture and
sale of them had become quite ex-
tensive. The list of the patents
handled by the gentleman is as
follows: An over check loop, a
harness dee, BEST Out" top collar
fastener, hip strap connector, safety
single tree hook, halter loop and
ring and the frankie Hull lawn
sprinkler. The harness specialities
are manufactured at Canton, Ohio,
and New Britain, Connecticut.
Mr.. Hull will now give his time
and attention to the handling of
these specialities. He goes to Mil
waukee to be in attendance at the
national meeting Of the wholesale
saddlers and will there exhibit his
goods. He will then make an ex-'
tended trip through the southern
states in the interest of his special
ties that will occupy his time for a
period of about six or eight weeks.
He will then return to his home in
TIE city of Oskaloosa where he will
again embark in business.
Walter Fitch, the junior partner
in the new firm, is no stranger to
Oskaloosa people. He Is brother of
R. F. Fitch and is an Oskaloosa boy.
He graduated from the Oskaloosa
High school in 1892 and a few years
after went into the store in which
his brother was interested. He &C
cepted a position on the road about
a year later for the NJ. M. Star Bot
thing Company and has been very
successful in his work for them.
The business Of the harness has
grown wonderfully in the past several
years and is now of immense proper
tions. The many friends of the
Msesrs. Fitch will wish them all
success in their new administration.

A Protest

The county convention of next
Saturday will probably have pro-
test fled against the delegates of
West Garfield, 1t seems that the
caucus for selection of delegates had
been advertised to meet at o'clock
but met at O'Clock, and when a
number of republicans repaired to
the place Of meeting at the adver-
tised hour, they found the work all
over with, and it is to this hasty ac-
ton that they take exception, and
not to the delegates named.

A NEW WARD PROPOSED

II has been IN contemplation for some
time to make a division Of the Fiith
ward Of the Salt Lake stake Of Zion
There ere number Of rs members re-
siding IN the western part Of Us boun-
darIes III q locality that ia known
among them as Riverside, a census
has been taken Of the Saints residing
In chat district, with the result thet
there Is shown 10 be a sufficient num-
Der Of members and Of men holding the
Priesthood to warrant the Organization
Of a new ward, The Presidency Of the
stake and the High Council have duly
considered the matter and, with tho
approval Of the First Presidency win
take immediate steps to effect the new
organization, II VIII probably be
called the Riverside ward.
AS yet there has been no selection Of
a Bishopric, or Of persons 10 take
charge Of the various auxiliary socie-
ties for the new ward, but this will soon
be decided The Presidency o. the
Stake viii meet with the people Of the
entire ward at the Fifth ward meeting
house on Sunday evening, December
gsth, at 6 80, when the subject viii come
up for full consideration. 1t Is hoped
that there viii be a general attendance
Of the Priesthood and members OF the
Fifth ward including all Its districts,
on that occasion,
While 1t Is not desirable to multiply
wards unnecessarily il Is obvious that
when circumstances exist like those
surrounding the Saints In the extreme
western part Of the Fifth ward, ar
rangements should be made for their
accommodation, that they may not have
too great distance to travel in order
to attend religious meetings Also
that when number Of railway tracks,
sloughs or other dangerous or difficult
places have to be trayersed, suitable
accommodations should be secured for
those Immediately interested,
There will doubtless he other changes
effected IN this regard before very long.
The people Of the Fifth ward win please
take notice Of this announcement, and
be ready to cooperate with the stake
authorities at the time and place here
IN specified.

It is to be noted that Admiral Dewey,
a minority Of the court, indeed, but its
presiding officer and in a position which
enables him to Judge the facts far bet
