TEST OF NEW FIELD GUN
Enormous Destructive Power Shows at
Fort Sill Test

Lawton, Ok, Sept. I4.-Last
Friday the Second Provisional Of
Artillery began its FIRST target prac-
tice with the new guus at 1t. Sill.
This is the new three-inch gun that
mas been adopted by the Govern
ment, and said 10 be the best field
gun in the world, possessing many
advantages over the Japanese and
French guns. 1t is rapid FIRE gun
capable Of firing sixteen times in a
Ii mute, has a range Of six and a
half miles. and used fixed ammuni-
ton.
When the artillery out Friday
for its target practice with the new
g rs, there were twenty-fonr guns
in line. Life-size targets of men.
horses and cannon are used on the
target range at the fort. These tar
gets consists of an iron frame, COW
erred with cloth. Sixty five of these
targets representing that number
of infantrymen, were placed at a
distance of three fouiths OF mile
from the firing line, and were ar
ranged like company Of infantry
advancing.
The first gun that was fred on
the Fort Sill range was sighted by
Capt, Ridgway, the ordance Off
Ger, Thissswas loaded with sharpnel
and when fired KILLED sixty-fve
men, the only two that escaped be
ing the Captain and the bugler,
and these two were standing at a
distance from the remainder Of the
company.
An idea of what it costs 10 fire
these guns may be derived iron
the fact that Congress made az
appropriation of $77s4o for fifty
two rounds of ammunition for the
forty-eight guns, or at $27 for eacl
shot fired.

WILL ADVERTISE ARDMORE
Large Sum Will b. Raised For vig.
orous Campaign

Davis, /. r., Sept AT a
largely attended meeting Of the
Commercial club at Ardmore last
night it was decided to inaugurate
a vigorous campaign Of advertising
Ardmore and her many advantages
over other Chickasaw nation
towns for the safe and profitable
investment Of capital. A commit
tee of ten prominent business men
were appointed to raise a large
sum of money to be used for adj
vertising purposes and it is believed
that ten thousand dollars will be
available in a few days. The club
is composed of about TWO hundred
live business mSa and tney are de-
termined to place Ardmore IN the
Lad as a commercial aud manufac-
turing city.
The organization Of a fifty thous-
and club was proposed by some one
but no action was taken. The
president, Hon | &c Cruise, and sec
tary of the club. RI. Sanders, have
been doing scale effective work
but it is proposed to establish a
bureau of publicity and trade leag-
lie that will present the Legitimate
claims of Ardmore before the peo.
pie of he east and north. Ard
more has at last awakened to the
fact that the Indian Territory is
soon to have the eyes of the whole
country centered on this wonderful
country of undeveloped recources
and the meeting last night will re-
suit i'll great industrial activity
in Ardmore and vicinity
A report Of Secretary X. L. San
ders showed that several manufac-
turing concerns have been asking
for reliable information about the
Chickasaw nation, and. especially
Ardmore the leading town of tn,

RULING
REVERSED
COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REV
ENUE RENDERS DECISION ON
SALE OF PATENT MEDICINES
LICENSES ARE REQUIRED
OF Dealers. II Is Hard on The Peruna
Industry

Washington, Sept. I4.-The
commissioner Of internal revenue
today rendered a decision that will
seriously affect a number OF patent
medicines composed largely of dis
titled liquors. He has reversed a
ruling Of his department made
many years ago and now decides
that the manufacturers Of these
medicines must take OUT licenses
as rectifers and liquor dealers and
that druggists and others handling
them will have to pay the usual
retail liquor dealers license.
The commissioner in a letter Of
instruction to collectors of internal
revenues says that there are num-
Der compounds on the market gos
ing under the names of medicine
that are composed chiefly OF dis
titled spirits. without the addition
OF drugs or medicines in sufficient
quantities to change materially the
character of the whiskey.
He authorizes tax collectors to
impose the special tax on manu-
facturers of every compound com
posed of distilled spirits. even
though drugs have been declared
TO have been added thereto.
"when their presence is not dis.
covered by chemical analysis or it
is found that the quantity of drugs
in the preparation is so small as to
have no appreciable effect OH the

the order that the palace must be re-

thousand men We're kept at work day

while the temperature outside was Of

The men could only work with ice
packs on their heads, and, experenc-

Turning Point In Career of the Al

The late General Lew Wallace, the
well known writer, author Of Ben

a poor student in his young manhood,
says a writer In Success. He grew tired
of his college course after six weeks
and returned home. But his failure at
college furnished the turning point in
his career. He says:
II shall never forget what my father
did when l returned home. he called
me into his Office and took from

tape. He was very systematic man,
because. perhaps, of his West Point
training. The papers proved to be the
receipts for my tuition, which he mad
carefully preserved. He called off the
items and asked me to add them. The

Table knives until the seventeenth

days when knife was at once dag
