No More Toy Pistols.

The judiciary committee of the
common council of Milwaukee has
recommended that board consisting
of the chief of police, chief of health
and fire departments. and city attor-
ney, be appointed to draw up an ordi-
nance prohibiting the use of the fatal
toy pistol and dangerous cannon fire
cracker on the Fourth of July or any
other time, within the confines of that
city.
Milwaukee is a city of about 2SO,-
900 inhabitants. That it should place
a ban on the toy pistol is creditable.
There is no city in the United States
but should make provision against the
toy pistol. 1t has cost the lives of
too many boys and girls to be longer
tolerated in civilized communities.
Rigid prosecution of all who deal in
the toy pistol should be the iron rule.

That Special Session.

Congress will convene in special
session Nov. 9, according to the Off
cial proclamation of President Roose-
welt. This session is called for the
purpose of enacting such legislation
as may be deemed necessary to make
effective the reciprocity treaty be-
: tween the United States and Cuba.
The expense to the United States
and the people in calling a special
session of congress is no small item.
Considering the expense to which
they are put and the extra burdens
imposed upon them, the people are
justified in expecting that the con-
gress in its special session should en-
deavor to expedite the work for which
the special session is called. and to
keep the expenses down to the lowest
possible mark. 1t is hardly probable
however, that this congress will worry
much about expense.
Judging from an ordinary point of
view reciprocity should be establish
ed. Excellent authorities point out
that the commercial interests of

ity ends, for the Turk as a seaman is
as amusing as he is terrible as a sol
der.
The Turks inability as navigator is
aptly illustrated by a story that has be-
come classic among Mediterranean
sailors. A Turkish steamer with a ma
tive captain put out of the Dardanelles
bound for Triest, Austria. AS soon as
the ship got out of sight of land the
skipper lost his head. Just then a
French tramp steamer came up from
astern and was hailed by the Turk.
''Where are you boundT' he asked.
"Brest," returned the Frenchman.
For several days the Turkish captain
followed in the wake of the French
steamer, when finally the captain of
the latter inquired why he kept so close
astern. 'T am following you to Triest."
answered the Moslem. Then the French
captain explained that he was 500 miles
out of his course and instructed him
how to regain it. Small wonder that
the Turkish sailor is held in utter con-
tempt by the world af1oat.

Bushnell spent the greater part of
Friday in Minneapolis on business.
During the evening he discussed bust
ness matters with his son-in-law, Will
liam Hubbard, and was apparently in
good health.
When he did not rise at the usual
hour yesterday morning nor respond
to knocks upon his door, Mrs. Balfour,
at whose house he roomed became
alarmed and telephoned to John Ken
yon, foreman at the livery barn. Ken
yon forced the door to the room and
found him dead in bed.
Mr.. Bushnell was sixty eight years

ago from Mortified. He bought a half
interest in Blackman's livery stable on
Selby and six weeks ago purchased the
entire eSta blishment. He also owned
an interest in the Thompson Buggy
company in Minneapolis.
The remains were taken to North
field last night for burial by William
Hubbard, whose wife is the only surviv-
ing relative of Mr.. Bushnell. The Odd
Fellows of Mortified viii have charge
