RIFLE RANGE, Sea Girt, Sept. i,
1905. 5.-Skirmish firing was started in the
national team match yesterday morning
instead of the 1000 shoot ut slow FIRE,
which was originally scheduled for the
day. The change was due to the poor
light, the targets being scarcely visible
at distance of more than 500 yards.
Another severe electric storm struck
the camp just before dawn this morning.
Sea Girt appears to be the landing place
for all these hurricanes. Rain came
down not in drops. but in sheets. while
lurid flashes of lightning and crashing
thunderbolts added to the confusion.
"Old SOP broke through the clouds
after reyeille had been sounded, but the
sun cast such dazzling light upon the
ranges with their dark background that
the bulls eye on the targets could not
well be seen with the naked eye.
The skirmishing started promptly at 9
o'clock.
The 500-yard rapid fire and S00-yard
slow fire stages of the national team
match were completed as cease fring''
was sounded at the ranges Wednesday.
The marksmen of New York State re-
tanned their lead, scoring 528 and 534,
respectively, which increased their grand
total to 1887. Ohio was still second.
thirty-six points behind the leaders. the
United States Infantry and the Marine
Corps erept up two third and fourth po-
sitions respectively, while New Jersey
jumped from thirteenth place to seventh.
But for the mshaps encountered by the
Jerseymen in rapid firing on the 500
yard range, which set them back ten
positions, they would now be one, two,
three Ifs and "buts," however, don't
count in the shooting, and General
Breintnalls men are now, it appears,
out of the race for the championship.
There is still hope for capturing the Hill
ton trophy, second prize, or the Soldier
of Marathon" third prize, and Jerseys
cracks will knuckle down as best they
can to carry off enc of these if the ma
tional trophy is beyond their reach.
New Jersey picked up in fine form on
the sO0-yard range, scoring 517, its best
total in the tournament to date At slow
fire there are few, if any, States which
can beat the Jerseymen. The good
scores, too, were made in steady rain,
which greatly impeded the shooting. At
this stage the Jersey team was 81 points
above centers. Sergeant-Major Richard
Evans, of the First Regiment, led the
team with score of Al out of so. Evans
had a poor time of it on the 500yard
range, and declared he would never shoot
again at rapid fire and skirmishing Pri-
vate Hudson, of the Second Regiment,
scored 46, and Captain Martin. of the
same regiment, 45. Major Rawland, of
the First was the only Jerseyman to get
below centrers at 800 yards. This WAS
due to a single miss at time when the
wind was very deceptive. The scores of

Judge Brandner, who was 60 years

In spite of the fact that there are

has been no complaint on account of
lack of hotel accommodations, or due
to exorbitant charges by landlords.

TWO MILLION MARK PASSED.
Exposition Attendance Better Than
Ever Before.


Portland, Oct. 12.-With the two mil.
lion mark passed, and prospects ex-
cellent for rolling up another half mil
lion before the gates are closed for
the last time on the night Of October
IA. the Lewis and Clark exposition
is an assured financial success. The
remarkable attendance demonstrates
also that the fair has pleased the peo-
pie, and that is another source of graf
ififcation. 1t is evident that the enor-
nous attendance could not have been
rolled up unless the fair had received
frequent testimonials from early visit
Ors.
1t is evident now that the fair will
be, in point of attendance and in every
other respect, the most successful ex-
position ever held. Comparisons with
the records made at the Trans-Missis-
sippi exposition at Omaha, an exposi'
ton of about the same magnitude as
| that now drawing to a close. and
which has been generally conceded to
have been the most successful OF all
| fairs, show that the exposition will
out-do the showing made by the east
! ern enterprise. This is considered
more remarkable when the statement
| is made that Omaha had population
of 100000 within a days journey
while there reside within similar ra
dius of Portland not more than 1900,
900 souls.
The stock show, which opened or
September 18th for period OF ter
days, proved the GROWING feature O
the fair. 1t was a notable success
being by far the biggest show Of tn
kind ever held in the west. and b!
far the best attended. During tn
time it was running, the attendance a
the fair showed a daily increase owe
the average of about 5000, and tn
week ending September "a, was tn
largest in point of attendance OF an,
during the fair period. The past week

next Tuesday night and all horsemen who desire to participate should see the
 secretary Dr. Howard Ramsey on or
 before that time. This will pobably
 be the last matinee of the season and
 t is designated to make it as good as any of it's predecessors, and all have
 been good. The value of these matinees
 is not so much for the sport of the par
 ticular occasions as it is for encourag-
 ing the raising of fine horses in the
 valley and it is very successful in this
 way. It may be said that the associa-
 ton was the starting point from which
 came into being the territorial fair en-
 terprise that is now an assured sue
 cess. Rather it fitted the minds of the
 Ieople for such a movement. And the
 benefits that are expected to accrue
 from the fair are incalcuIable The
 matinees are not for the purpose of
 raising money and no admission fees are charged. Its mission is only to give
 the horses a chance to show what they
 can do and the people a chance to see
 the exhibition at no expense. The pub
 lie is cordially invited to turn out and
 see the sport.

 expressed himself as well pleased with
 the showing made by the company in the new drill regulations. and at their appearance. Col. McClintock and his staff of officers also visited the com pany during the drill. After the in spection the company was called to order by Captain Parks who stated that he had received an order that the
 resignation of Lieutenant McCrea had been accepted, and also that an cleo
 tion for second lieutenant of the com pany would take place at once. Pri- vate Grimstead who is dissiplinarian at the Indian school and who has been | serving as a private in the company

A WONDERFUL ARnLEss GIRL
Writes, Draws and Does NeedIewOrk
 With Her Feet.

No greater exemplificatiOn of the old adage that Necessity is the mother of invention" can be presented to the people than the wonderful accomplish ments of Kittie Smith, the young lady who lost her arms when nine years old, and who. through sheer necessity. has been compelled to edu cate her feet to work like hands.
 Miss Smith is certainly a remark able young woman. In many ways her accomplishments equal those of Blind Tom and Helen Keller. Her humble station in life has unfortunately kept her in the back ground so that but few people have ever heard of her until within the last few months, during which time she has been selling lit tie book of her life which also con tains reproductions of some of her work Her book is not only interesting, but her pathetic story reaches the hearts of all who read it.
 Miss Smith was born in Chicago, Oct 21, 1882. Her parents were poor people and 1t was during the year of 1891 that she was sent with car load of fresh air children to Whitley cour- ty. Indiana, where she was kept for two weeks by MT. and Mrs w. F. Heagy
 
 turned home her mother died, leaving her. at the age of nine, to be house. keeper for a little family of two broth CTS. 9 little sister. and father.
 On Thanksgiving day 1891, in going about the house doing her daily work | she found a bottle which she knew con- tained liquor. Her father was drink | ing man and the children had often been sent to the saloons for liquor. She | had often drank of the liquor she had | been sent for, and, without knowing 1 the wrong she was doing, she partoob l freely from the bottle, of what after wards proved to be whiskey. Her fath- | CT was in an adjoining room and called l to her to put some wood on the kitchen | fire She answered that she was sick ] and could not go, but he insisted and | she obeyed. She took the lids from the stove, when the combined effect of the heat and the liquor caused her to faint and she sank upon the open stove un- conscious. She was only saved from death by her little brother coming in from play and pulling her from the stove. Her arms were so badly burned that she was taken to the Cook county hospital where both arms were ann putated three inches from the shoul- ders.
 At this time she lived at 54S Park avenue. Chicago, H., and the neigh
 bors claimed that her father was alsC
 intoxicated at the time of the acci-
 dent, and many of them insisted tha
 he held her on the stove until he
 arms were burned. The Humane SO
 ciety took the matter up and had thu
 father arrested. He was tried in thu
 spring of 1892 but was acquitted fo
