RIFLE RANGES
FOR BIG CITIES
Government to Be Asked to
Provide Them at Leading
Centers in the Country
SAN FRANCISCO NAMED
Applications Pour In From
Various Sections of the
Nation for Recognition
Special Dispatch to Tn. Can.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The fact that
the national board for the promotion of
rifle practice will ask Congress at its
coming session to appropriate $1,000,000
annually for the next few years to be
devoted to the establishment and equip
ment of suitable rife ranges in the
vicinity of the larger cities and to the
issuing Of arms and ammunition under
certain restrictions has awakened a
great deal of interest throughout the
country, and applications are pouring
in for the location of these ranges. 1t
is contemplated that ranges shall be
established in the vicinity of Boston,
New York, Chicago, st. Louis, Balti-
more, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Den
yer, San Francisco, Salt Lake and Los
Angeles.
. While the selection of these cities
would naturally be gratifying to the
residents thereof who would like to en-
gage in rife practice for the exercise
and pleasure connected Herewith, the
rifiemen in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Louis
vile, Indianapolis, Mobile, Savannah,
Buffalo and other cities feel that they
the quite as much interested in the
proposition and as much entitled to
recognition as the rifiemen of the other
cities mentioned. New York has an eX-
cellent range at Creedmoor, and the
range at Sea Girt, n. j., is accessible
to ri1emen of the Eastern States. 1t is
therefore represented that when the ma
tionaI board secures the initial apprO-
priation it should set about establishing
ranges in States which are not so ia

JAPS LEARN WESTERN WAYS
Their Newspapers Follow in the Wake
! of American Publications and
Are Well Patronized.

Japanese journalism is developing on
western lines and with surprising rapid.
tty. The events of the present war are
responsible for extras which are sold on
the street in the American fashion. The
neWsmen run b%arelegged with a sort Of
napkin around the head and a small bell
at the belt, which rings as they go.
When the war news is lively the ex-
Itras come out in a correspondingly live
~ manner, n after the other, and are
liberally patronized. The sensational
reporter has appeared there, as we'll as
the female journalist, and things are
"Whooped up" more than they used to
be. One consequence of this is that
Journalism here and there begins to pay,
where formerly it had to be subsidized
as a matter of patriotism and public
spirit. There is an English column in
all the papers and English is studied in
all the schools. The country has 600
newspapers in all and several Of them
have respectively a circulation exceeding
100000 copies. AS guides and directors
OF public opinion they are perhaps not
inferior to our OWE Altogether, Japan
csc Journalism, in it's infancy, has a
bright future before it, and will likely
keep pace with the progress of the coun-

o AMERICAN IDEA.
Innovation as to Placing Of Brides
maids in Wedding March Taken
from United States.

A short time ago at a London we'd
ding the bridesmaids preceded the
bride instead of following her to tho
altar, an American notion, and one
that, l think, we might we'll copy,
says the London Daily Mail. The
English idea that the bride should
be made the chief object of the pro-
cession is laudable, and to allow her
maids to 60 in front of her makes
her more conspicuous, for they do but
call attention to the great person
age Of the procession, while at the
same time they gain more than the
usual amount of observation they ac-
complish for themselves. The chief
maid of honor in America walks quite
alone; she is usually the sister of the
bride, or her dearest friend. There
are also ushers who take their places
by the other bridesmaids and act as
their groomsmen. 1t is pleasant to
have groomsmen among us again, If
only on account. of their obliging
amiability as the squires of the brides
maids after the ceremony, but they
do not look we'll in a procession unless
they come behind the bride as her
guard Of .nons=.

JAPs SCOUT WITH PHONE.
One of the Greatest Features Of Mod.
ern Warfare Now Being Used
by Islanders.

Scouting with the aid of the telephone
has become one of the features of mod
ern warfare, and is now being made use
of by the Japanese. Two scouts pro-
coed from the lines toward the enemy:
one, the observer, is a skilled army on
Ger, who makes observations, which are
transmitted back to headquarters
through a telephone line paid out from,
a reel carried by an electrician of the
signal corps. "A ground return is used,
the ground being made by thrusting 4
bayonet or Ratchet into the earth and at
taching n end Of the line to it. The
electrician carries a battery on his back.
He also makes the connection and does
the talking. A special conductor is used
which will stand the rough usage. In
this manner a scout may be able to stay
a long time and give valuable informa-
ton without being obliged to make a
number of hazardous trips to the front.

OF DOUBLE EAGLES
Symbol Used by Both Russia and Ger.
many-How It Was
Created.

Both Russia and Germany display
two-headed eagles on their standards,
says the Cornhill Magazine. Yet this
symbol is considered by some heralds
to be merely the result of the heraldic
practice of Humiliation" This was
simply a child's. way Of impaling two
coat-of-arms on the same shield by the
primitive method of cutting each in
half an dtaking the dexter half Of one
and the sinister half of the other and
nlacing them back to back, as it were.
Strange two-headed beasts naturally re-
sulted-as, for instance; when a lion and
an eagle were halved' and Joined together.
The griffin is supposed to have been
evolved from two lions rampant by
Humiliation. 1t robs the ~two-headed
eagle Of half its terrors to know that
It owes its origin to this sort Of ,child's
play,

IN A STATE OF SIEGE.
Five Hundred Shots Fired at zeigier-Big
0uns Used.

Benton. III. Especially .-Zeigler was
fired upon from. shutdown to daylight.
1t is estimated that no less than 500
shots were fired at the town, four gait
ling guns being turned OH in full force.
The town was completely surrounded
and the firing came from every quar-
ter. Assistant Adjutant General Reece
and the Carbonate Militia Company,
arrived in Zeigler and General Reece
will remain several days to investi-
gate the situation. 1t is thought that
still more troops will be brought. Ex-
animation of the ground showed that
the men who were firing have power
full guns They were stationed from
one-haf to three-quarters of a mile
from the town Almost bushel of
empty shells of every size and make
were found i'll the woods. A trail of
blood was found ON a rail fence, and
from that it is supposed that at least
one person was wounded. Further
trouble is anticipated.
While martial law has not been de-
clared, the situation closely APP
proaches it. No one not properly
