SOME GREAT GUNS.
Ranges of from 10 to 10 Miles Are
Now Calmly Proposed.

There is an effort being made in Diff
the Anglo-Boer war to profit by con-
structing ordnance OF increased range.
The Beers got their greater range not
by having superior guns, but by ele-
waiting the muzzle. as the English found
out when the Beers turned captured
English guns upon them. The English
cannon fired as far as the Boer cannon
when the muZZle was given equal ele-
vation. But the point remains that the
Beers taught the world that superior
range, no matter how obtained, gives
decided practical advantage. In 1883
IN English 92-inch gun made n record
with n range OF 12 miles. A Krupr
9.45-inch gun four years later made e
new record of 121s miles. Recently
there has been talk Of German gun
that ranges 10 miles. But an American
ordnance factory is preparing l2-lnch
gun, It is said. which is to carry n
shell 10 miles. Its length is to be equal
to 40 calibers and the l,050-pound shell
Is to have an initial velocity OF 5000
feet a second. The difficulty in obtain
ing extreme ranges lies largely with
the gun carriage, says the Baltimore
Sun. Most gun carriages permit an
elevation of the muzzle OF but IT de-
grces, whereas the best possible range
OF any given gun requires an elevation
OF A degrees. A larger arc of eleva-
tion Is the lesson the Boer artillerists
have enforced. The drawback of ex-
treme ranges Is inaccuracy of fire. The
Beers produced great moral effect on
the British by landing shells Mt dis
tances the British batteries could not
cover, but they seldom made hits. They
were content to demoralize their foe
by subjecting him to fire he could not
reply to. At Ladysmith. for example,
there were few good shots at extreme
ranges. 10 that the loss Of life caused

LONDON, December 25.-"We learn"
says the Daily Mail, that the reports
of the serious situation in Cape Colony
are fully confirmed. The invading
Beers are receiving much assistance
from the Cape Dutch. Railway COM
munication between Cape Town and
the North is almost entirely severed,
partly by Boer operations and partly
by rains"
While there is no sign in England of
the dependency which characterized
BLACK December" last year, the Christ
mas editorials find little cause for eX-
treme satisfaction. All express regret
that the nation is still at war. Some
take the trouble to remind their readers
that there are four times as many
troops in South Africa now as there
were twelve months ago, and all en-
gagged in the morotonous and weari-
some duties against an eVer-eVasive foe
and needing the sympathy of friends
at home at this festive season.
The Standard, which says that Christ
mas finds the British people in a chas-
| tened mood, moralizes upon the
| strange lack of political foresight re-
| garding the character and the wisdom
of the operations against the Beers. 1t
| confesses that everything has long
since been done that would have been

I
1t is confident, however, that the set

would be sufficient to explain the alb
sence of official news.
| Elaborate preparations are being
made to give Lord Roberts popular
welcome on January 3. Ten thousand
troops will be gathered in London to
line the route to Buckingham Palace.
"Since the Nooltgedacht' affair,
says the correspondent of the Daily
Mail at The Hague, Mr.. Kruger has
become stiff-necked. He now scorn-
fully rejects all private suggestions in
the nature of peace overtures."

STANDARD OIL DIVIDENDS.

The capital of the Standard Oil Com
pany is $97, 500,0 divided into $4,000
shares of the par value of 800 each
At the close of last week 800 was bid
for these shares, the highest price ever
offered up to that time. The company
has had a remarkably prosperous year,
paying one dividend of 20 per cent the
biggest on record. The dividend for the
last quarter is 10 per cent, payable on
December 10. Some expected that this
dividend would be IL per cent, or even
more, but some people would never be
satisfied if they had the whole earth.
The dividend Just declared makes As
per cent for the year. or nearly one
half OF the entire capital stock. These
four dividends for the year, with the
big extra one of 20 per cent, aggregate

turn it is no wonder that the stock is
wanted at 500 per share, for even on
that basis the dividends this year are
equal to about 6.S6 per cent.

Shot a Bad Negro.

John Harrell, constable of Cad ron township, and G. NJ. Easter wood, went out Tuesday to Saltlllo to arrest Jesse Hardy, negro, oil charge of attempting to kill. The negro was hiding out, but they found him. When they called upon him to halt he only ran faster and put his hand on his back pocket as if to draw pistol. When he did this Harrell shot at him with a shot gun containing small shot. The negro escaped, but they learned he was badly hurt When he gets over his wound he will be brought to town and placed i'll lail. He is said to be a bad negro. The particular offense for which he is wanted is based upon the fact that he went to Adams lake a short time ago and by making threats and brand ishing a pistol he frightened some white folks who were fishing away from their fish frying and the fish were burned up. It appears that he intended to kill negro who was at the lake.

In all exciting, though very ragged" game, Atkins defeated the Invincibles' OH the local ground Thursday afternoon. The game was very close at the last and ten innings were required to settle it.
 The game started off with a home run by Alexander, Atkins crack pitcher, and big bunch ol raw errors by the Conway boys.
 The local team soon recovered and i'll the fourth inning put on their batting clothes and rapped the ball for eight runs, giving them II scores to Atkins 5. Everyone thought that this ended it, but the men from Atkins soon evened the score aud then came the tug of war. When Nolley Ray went to the bat i'll the last half of the tenth there were two men down and two men on bases He could not connect With Alex ander's curves, however. and the side was retired, ending a hard fought game The heavy batting of both teams was feature ot the game. Allinder pitched an excel lent game and Collins work be hind the bat was errorless, bu their support at times was very poor.
 The Atkins players put up { good game and seem to be a gen tlemanly set. Although severa rank decisions were charged III against Vogel, the umpire, every one conceded that he made every effort to be fair.
