GREER TEXT BOOK GRAFT.

MOI all Of the Republican editors
of the territory are favoring Frank
Greer's scheme to get his fingers on
the money of the people through
free text book graft as the following
from the Times-Joernal shows
"The free text book question was
brought before our legislature yester-
day by an address of one of the mem.
bers in favor of such move. The
people of this territory do not want
such a measure passed They deny
that there is such poverty among the
people that the bill becomes a neces.
sity. The few who need books are
now furnished them By the district
Our taxes are heavy enough now
without adding that burden and every
thinking person will oppose making
the printing bin for the territory eight
times what It is. If we must deal with
trust, it would be infinitely better
to deal with the American Book trust
that can be managed than to create
one so powerful that it would control
the territory. This would be especial
/ ly applicable when it is remembered
that the text books now in use have
been brought to their present high
state of excellence through a process
of evolution extending through many
years. It is impossible to get a good
book by designating some one to make
it, The book must be tried and the
bad and useless eliminated This
takes time. Most of the books pro
duced by committees appointed to do
the work have been laughed out of the
school rooms of the states. The Kan
sas text book law or something similar
would be satisfactory to the people oi
this territory
"There is net a child in the terri
tory out of school today because he
cannot obtain books; If such chile
could be found 1t could be easily estab
lished that the child was more II
need Of clothes than of book

Church Dedication.

The memorial chapel of the United
Presbyterian church, corner of Cleve-
land and Ash. one block north of the
Carnegie library. will be dedicated
next Sabbath. Feb 22d.
Each year the Sabbath schools ns
this denomination build a mission
church and this year Guthrie was Sc
lected as the place.
About $4,000 has been expended in
Guthrie this year by the United Pres
byterian church, less than 500 Of
which has been contributed by the
~citizens of Guthrie This has not
been due TO the unwillingness of the
people here to give, but because only
a few friends have beer given the op-
portunity Tn building has been paid
for and there is no debt. Jnly about
$500 is needed to fully equip this good
work. It Is hoped that this will be
given as free-will offering by the
friends in this city.
Announcement of the services OF
dedication day will be made later.

LOCAL MARKSMAN MAKES NEW
FIFTY-YARD REVOLVER RECORD
Frank Fromm Establishes Score of 95 Fifty Yards

In d special shoot for records under the
auspices Of the United States Revolver As

volver record for ten shots at fifty yards.
totaling 95 and equaled the worlds record
for 200 shots at the same distance. totalins
1,S0o out OF a possible 1000.
The scores were made at Fern Glen on tar
gets furnished by Secretary Himmelwright
Of the national body, and were witnessed by
Sam Dcrman, secretary of several local
clubs, and well-known revolver expert; by
George Enright OF the Long Range Sharp
captain of the latter body.
Starting at 10 o'clock Sunday morning
Fromm shot steadily until noon, resting for
an hour. and then shooting from o'clock
until 2:30. In this time he fired go shots at
the fifty-yard range, fifty of these being
sighting and experimental shots to test the
varying stages of the wind. No target on
which any of these experimental shots were
fired was counted in the scoring.
OF the twenty targets shot IN regular
form, Fromn averaged more than ninety on
ten bull s-eyes and considerably more than
eighty on. the remaining ten. His grand total
for the 200 shots was 800 points, or an av-
erage of ninety. As all were made under the
yolver Association. the national body gov
ernng the sport in this country. he is en-
titled to two medals of craftsmanship from
the organization. one for his average OF
more than eighty. and one for his average
of more than ninety on ten targets.
The performance breaks all local records
inasmuch as the total OF ninety-five on his

ord. made under like conditions. while his
grand total of 1880 breaks all marks made
In st. Louis This latter performance equals
the worlds record.
All marks were made with 44-caliber re-
vo!ver of eight-inch barrel. using four
grains of smokeless, high pressure powder
and special 205-grain bullet. made with
particularly long bearing on the rifiiug of
the weapon and with but short point. The
four grains of high-pressure powder is
equivalent to twenty three grains of black
powder. making the load known as the Rus
sian.
Scores were shot on the regulation eight
inch bull's-eye adopted for rev Oliver work at
fifty yards. The accompanying photograph
of the score was taken from a reproduction
of the ninety-five total card made on a 23t-
inch bull s-eye This accounts for the eppar-
emily large size OF the scores as compared
to the diameter of the bulrs-eye.
Weather conditions were generally favora-
BILE when the score was made. but slight
wind across the range caused several shots
to drift slightly. On one or two targets he
had averaged more than nine for each shot,
with the last bullet drifting slightly out OF
the black and pulling down the total for that
card. This brought two or three series of
ten shots down to totals In the eighties
when they would otherwise have averaged
above ninety.
FNromm is member of several shooting
clubs, including the United States Revolver
Association, the Long Range Snarpshooters'
Association and the Unicum Revolver Club.
He is well known as revolver expert To-
cally, and has shot several matches with
members OF the police force. who are inter-
estcd in the use of the weapon.

sHAKE-UP IS STARTED
IN SHERlFf'S OFFICE
Four Deputies Are Dismissed and
More Changes Are Expected
to Follow.

Sheriff Joseph F. pickmann made several
changes among his deputies yesterday, and
it is stated he proposes giving the force a
thorough shaking up.
Deputies Peter Schilling and John Hold
nett, who are responsible for the escape
last week of John l. O'Reilly. prisoner
at the Four Courts. were dismissed yester-
day.
So was BrownloY Sexton. the negro dep
uty, who gave contradictory testimony in
regard to the killing of william johnson,
alias Garner. by Andrew Gordon, a negro
detective.
Carson Ward, another Deputy Sheriff.
was also dismissed yesterday.
Patrick Carney. who served as a deputy
during Sheriff Dickmann's previous term
and who was reappointed by the Sher.ss
vas dropped yesterday. he failing to secure
the approval Of the Circuit Judges.
1t Is also stated that the Sheriff contem-
plates a transfer of deputies between the
-Four Courts and the Courthouse. He will,
1t IS said. assign the courtroom deputies at
the Four Courts to duty at the Courthouse.
and replace them with deputies now doing
duty at the Courthouse.
Schiiling was chief deputy at the -Four
Courts. and gave permission for Hodnett to
take o'Reilly from the jail. 1t was claimed
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1903-03-10

that O'Re'lly escaped from street car,
Schilling and Hodnett have been under sus-
pension since OReilly's escape.
The Grand Jury yesterday took up the case
of Sexton. Several witnesses were examined
Sheriff Diclmann suspended Sexton after
the trial of Gordon, at which Assistant Cir
cult Attorney Maroney accused Sexton Of
having given contradictory testimony.
Sheriff Dickmann made an investigation
and said that Sexton gave different testi-
moay at the inquest on Johnson, when the
Grand Jury was Investigating Gordon's
case. and at his trial.
Wards dismissal, it was stated, was for
failure to give satisfaction as deputy.
Garvy's case has been pending for some
time. The Circuit Judges yesterday in gen.
eral term confirmed John w. Munsel as a
Deputy Sheriff, but rejected Carney. Sheriff
Dickmann then decided not to send in his
name again.
