MEET IN INTEREST
OF RIFLE RANGE
ASSOCIATION
LOCAL MILITARY MEN TO DISCUSS
PROPOSED OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
PLAN TO HAVE STATE AID IN
ESTABLISHING A FINE RANGE.

This afternoon at o'clock many Of the
officers Of the local military companies,
representatives from the police commits
sion and from the sheriff's office will
meet in the National Guard armory to
organize the Jefferson County Rife asso-
citation. A number of persons not inter-
ested in either the military. sherin's Of
fee or the police commission will also
be present.
The purpose of the organization, as
announced exclusively In The Age Her
aid some time ago. is to erect one of the
best rifle and pistol ranges in the United
States, to be used by the military, police
and deputy sheriffs. Several places have
been examined to see If they were suit
able for range, and one has been found
which 1t Is believed will make one of the
best ranges in the country 1t is in every
way suitable for range, being level and
having fine background so that the aim
will not be interfered with either by a
bright sky or dark patch Of trees.
The rifle range will be used chiefly by
the military. while the police and depu-
ties will use the pistol range and occa-
sionally the rifle range. The very finest
targets which are usued by the govern
ment will be securued. They will be
silhouette, kneeling, sitting and lying, all
the attitudes usued by soldiers in active
service. There will also be moving tar
gets, representing men on the run.
The plans of those who are back of
the movement include a state shoot to
be held here as soon as possible and an
interstate shoot like the one recently
held In Savannah. The Georgia Rifle
association has promised its support in
every way possible and several other
states have signifed their intention of
sending teams to shoot should the Bir-
mingham boys succeed in their hopes.
1t is also proposed to make this a state
rifle range where the different companies
of the National Guard can come and
stay a week and shoot on the range. The
state will probably appropriate some
thing towards the equipment of the range
and make II the state range. This move
ment is in line with the proposed plan
to make the state camping grounds in
Birmingham and the two things will
probably work out together.
Several officers are working on the
matter and hope to have an enthusiast
tic meeting this afternoon.

The man on the stage who does the
trick Of escaping from firmly tied ropes,
submits to the bonds with smile. He
knows he can get out Of the ropes that
are being knotted. Put the same man in
the woods and let Indian captors bind
him TO a tree for torture and he would
struggle to the last against the bonds.
When the stomach is diseased there
are bonds being woven every hour about
the organs dependent on the stomach
heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. The
folly of mankind is to passively submit
to the fastening Of these bonds with no
effort to escape until the pain they cause
arouses fear.

RIOTS BREAK OUT ANEW.

over the presence Of colored citizens
and the establishment of the Colored
Normal and Industrial Institute, mod
eled after the Tuskegee, Ala, institu-
ton, and which caused Governor
Yates to send there detachment of
the Illinois national guard, broke out
anew Thursday night. A colored
woman who had only little while
before been run out of town came
back, and at nightfall a crowd went to
the place where she was stopping and
stoned the house. The guard of three
soldiers which had for many nights
guarded the home where the woman
took refuge ordered the mob to dis
perse and on its failure to obey, fired.
So far as known no casualty ensued.
The occurrence probably will cause

Spartacus had very susceptible

Spartacus was a bright fellow and
there was one for whom his loyal heart
beat with a love that never wavered
and that was Mr.. Young's little son.

guilty to the charge and was fined s2

guilty in the case of Mrs Vogel, and
she was permitted to testify in her

was to the effect that the only disturb

strenuous effort to protect her home
from the forcible entrance of White.
During the melee the air was filled
with vile language, fiat irons and light

the woman that as that was her first

charge. He however informhd her
that were she brought before him

be different ending. White paid his

The Women Who Talk of Their
Neighbors.
We hold in adherence that reptile
unseen, the hideous snake in the
grass,
That lies with a light in its glitter
ing eyes in wait for victim to
pass;
A dart of its forked and venomous
tongue, a hiss Of its poisonous
breath,
A stroke of its fangs and a gliding from
sight, and done is its mission of
death!
And SO do all pure-minded people abhor
those snakes in the grass in the
guise
OF God, the omnipotent's, best gift to
man, the danes with the bssilisk
eyes
Whose false spoken words stab the hon.
or Of men and OF women as poisonous
sabres,
The ones who possess the instincts Of
the snake, the women who talk of
their neighbors.
A molehill will swell to mountain in
size when inflated by gossiping
speech;
An angel from heaven II visiting the
earth would never be out of their
reach;
They'll snatch up rumor with devilish
greed of some perhaps innocent
And speed it along with their serpenty
tongues as a horrible, damnable
fact!
They pause not to think when they
blacken soul they blacken their
own all the more,
They care not if lies sent as poisonous
shafts may wound pure heart to
the core,
But onward they go seeking listening
ears in their damnable, God-hated
labors
OF scattering slime from their foulest
of tongues, the women who talk of
their neighbors.
The womanlY instinct is dead in their
hearts, their nature is that of the
tiend,
They act as if sucked at SANDERS foul
breast and never successfully
weaned;
No sacred emotion e'er lives for day
in the poisonous air of their
souls;
The nectar of love never passes their
( lips; they sip but the rankest Of
bowls!
And when they are called from the
earth they disgrace, unhonored
unmourned and unsung,
When stilled are the breasts in which
falsehood was born to spring intt
\ life from the tongue,
I No tears will be shed, there will be ne
I regrets, no writer's will sharper
their fabers
To pay a last merited tribute unto the
women who talked of theil
neighbors.
