A GREAT MARKSMAN.


"Wild Bill" Hickok was the first
frontiersman who recognized the i'm
portance of proficiency in the use of
the siX-shooter. says +. c. Little in
Everybody's Magazine. This was the
real secret of his supremacy. He was
an unerring marksman, and shot as
accurately under fire as when firing at
mark, apparently taking no aim.
Probably no man ever eQualed hiM in
the lightning rapidity with which he
could draw Il weapon in time of em7r-
gency, and in the thorough self-po5ses-
sion that made it possible for him to
take advantage of every opportunity
in savage conflict. He had standing
order to his deputies that they should
not rush in on him in any of his
affrays, and especially should not come
up quickly in his rear. BY forgetting
this Williams met his death, llickok
taking him for an cnemy, and firing
50 rapidly that it left no oportunity for
recognition. He readily killed the
wild goose across the Smoky Hill with
his revolver. Riding at his horses
highest speed he fired shot after shot
into a tin can or hitching post few
rods distant. Standing at ono tole-
graph pole he would swing rapidly on
his heel and fire pistol ball into the
next telegraph pole There We're some

bottom without breaking the neck. lie
could do what the fancy shots of the
present day do, and possibly some OF
them equal him as marksmen with "A
revolver, but it must be remembered
that he was the first to acquire this
skill, and that he shot just as well with
others shooting at him, and at man,
as steadily as at any other target.

A GAME LAW WANTED.

New York, was elected president for
the ensuing year. and A. F. Reece, OF

year, but public sentiment had been
aroused and legislation to limit each
shooter to two deer a season and the
season to 60 days is now probable,
while it is more than likely that the
trout streams will be closed alto
gether for period of years to give
the trout chance to get bigger.
1t was reported that a bill had been
drafted providing for the prohibition
of the sale of game of all kinds, at
all times, and copies of the same had
been sent to the chief wardens in IS

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE anti-sa'

sweep the whole state and to continue
until not one saloon remains within
its borders. Everywhere the plar

dealers in liquor to close their places

nored, raid upon every establish.
ment which conflicts with the prohi.

the present crusade outdoing even the
one made famous by the election Of
John P. st. John, the prohibition gov
ernOr.
In the district court yesterday
Judge Hazen allowed nine out of 10
injunctions filed against owners Of
buildings, where joints are located, to
restrain them from renting the build
ings for the use of joints.
The temperance people Of Usage
City, men and women, went in a body
to the mayor Of that city and per-
emptorily ordered him to close the
joints. They intimated that they
would if he failed. The mayor faith
fully promised the people that the
joints should be closed and gave the
necessary orders to the city attorney
and marshal. Part of the so joints OF
the city closed up as soon as the deci-
sion of the mayor was made known.
At Winfield crowd of men, women
and boys smashed Henry Schmidt's
joint yesterday morning The boys
were mostly students from the Metho-
dist college at Winfield. The saloon
was completely wrecked, all sorts Of
weapons being used.
At Sterling citizens mass meet
ing was held at the opera house to
take steps toward Kidding the town
Of joints. The city officials were re-
quested to notify joint keepers that
they must quit business by noon
to-day.
At Toronto an enthusiastic temper
ance meeting yesterday condemned
the inaction Of the authorities in sup
pressing the joints. A resolution was
adopted giving the iointists just three
days to close and threatening the use

The assemblage stood while the speech
was read. The king spoke as follows:
My Lords and Gentlemen: I address
you for the first time at a moment Of
national sorrow when the whole country
is mourning the irreparable loss we have
so recently sustained and which has
fallen with peculiar severity on myself.
My beloved mother, during her long and
glorious reign. has set an example before
the world Of what monarch should be.
1t Is my earnest desire to walk in her
footsteps. Amid this public and private
grief II Is satisfactory to me to be able
to assure you that my relations with the
other powers continue friendly
The war In South Africa is not vet
entirely terminated, but the capitals Of
the enemy and his principal lines OF COM
munication are in my possession and
measures have been taken which will,
trust enable my troops to deal effect
ualy with the forces by which they are
still opposed. / greatly regret the loss
of life and expenditure of treasure due
to the fruitless guerrilla warfare main-
tanned by Boer partisans In the former
territories of the two republics Their
early submission is much to DO desired
IN their own interests, as until It takes
place II will be impossible for me to ss-
tablish In those colonies the institutions
which will secure the equal rights Of all
the white inhabitants and protection and
justice to the native population.

Made by the President.

day, with the result that all the presi-

The nominations which caused discus

Grant and Bell. senator Pettigrew
criticised Gen. Bates nomin9 ton, be-
cause that officer had negotiated the
Snln treaty, which treaty he attacked
sharply.
Senators Teller and Rawlns also
joined in the criticism of the Suu
treaty. They referred especially to
It's recognition of the institutions of
slavery and polygamy, which they
claimed was repugnant to the tastes
of the people Of this country as well
as to the constitution. No one, how
ever, made objection to Gen. Bates
confirmation when the time for
vote was reached.
The criticism of Gen, Wood was
confined to the fact that his military
record is not extended, Senators
Bate, of Tennessee, and Jones, of Ar
kansas, objected to the nominations
of Gems Wood Grant and Bell on the
ground that their nominations con-
stitute n breach of the rule of semi
GRITTY in the army, and exceptional
emphasis was laid upon Gen. Woods
nomination on that account. The
explanation was made on behalf of

OUR MERCHANT VESSELS.
The Secretary Of the Treasury Replies to q
Recent Resolution Of the
SENATE,

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE secretary
Of the treasury yesterday made reply
to the resolution of the senate of thu
18th inst, concerning the shipping
of the country as affected by the ship
subsidy bill, by sending in a report
from the commissioner of navigation.
The statement includes complete
list of the merchant vessels of the
United States, the total being placed
at 1888. OF those 1880, aggregating
gross tonnage of S26,694 tons, are
registered for the foreign trade, while
the vessels licensed for the coasting
trade number 22,O03, of 4,33S,145 gross
tons. The commissioner says there is
no legal obstacle to any of these coast
wise vessels of more than 80 tons en-
tering the foreign trade, but that the
length of the canal locks would pre-
vent many of the larger of the vessels
of the great lakes from passing to
the sea. For this and other reasons
he finds it impracticable to state the
number of coasting vessels likely to be
registered for the foreign trade un-
der the shipping bill. The number of
American vessels in the foreign trade
eligible to subsidies under the bill is
placed at 1881, of which 964 are sail
ING vessels.
