The army will soon adopt the new
bullet, which was recently tested by
several Of the target experts at the
national rifle meet at Sea Girt, and
found by them to be satisfactory In
stead Of the rounded point Of the pres
ent bullet, it has a long, straight tap
ering point and is also about one
third lighter, weighing about 15O
grains. The new bullet has greater
velocity up to 1000 yards. greater
energy up to 1,400 yards. a fatter
trajectory up to 1000 yards. and lit
tie better accuracy up to 1000 yards.
The new bullet will require a slightly
different firing chamber in the rife,
but this can be readily effected in
pieces now under manufacture, and
the necessary changes can be made in
the pieces now in use with compar-
ativeIy small expense.

AwoKe ON PILOT OF ENGINE.
Tossed from Wagon Seat by Locomo-
tive, but Made Safe Landing.

Sleeping as peacefully as a babe on
the seat of his farm wagon, as his old
horse ambled slowly along, William
Johnson had surprising awakening.
From the midst Of dreamland he found
himself clinging to pilot OF a
freight trains locomotive with the
wreck of his wagon about him.
Johnson's sleep had progressed
sweetly until his horse, homeward
bound, started over the Pennsylvania
railroad crossing, at Trenton, N J. A
heavy freight train was close to the
crossing. The engineer saw the sleep
ing man and slow moving horse and
sounded his whistle loud enough, he
said, to awaken a graveyard. John
son slumbered on and the horse re-
fused to quicken its pace. The en-
CINE hit the wagon, tossing Johnson
in the air, and when he came down
he landed squarely ON the pilot. He
was wide a awake then and excitedly
clutched the headlight. When the
train was stopped and the frightened
engineer ran up to look at the sup
posed dead man, Johnson exclaimed:
What didsyou want TO wake me up
that way for2"
The horse was nninjured and put In
its free moments eating grass on the
roadside.

0 to 0.

The new foot ball rules were tried
out on Saturday afternoon on the
Willie Halsell campus gridiron be-
tween the college eleven and a select
aggregation known as the Vinita
team
Captain Duke, of the college, handl-
ed his team in splendid style, and tho
his team was greatly outweighted,
they made their first downs repeated
ly, but were weak on running back
punts.
The game was largely a punting
duel, the college being the gamers.
The Vinita team lost thirty-tiye yards,
penalties inflicted for off-side play and
and unnecessary roughness.
Prof. Duke demonstrated that his
brand of mixture" is a superior artl-
Gle, The game ended to 0, with the
ball in the center of the field.
The Vinita team played some good
individual ball but had no team
work, while the light college team
got into the plays quickly and exhib-
ed fine training. The lineup:

MAKE EXPERIMENTS IN FUEL
Illinois Railroad Officials Experiment
in Use Of Fine Coal

Railroad officials in Illinois are max
ing a study of the use of fine coal for
freight and passenger engines, and 1t
is probable that a test will be made
Statistics show that large amount Of
fine coal is wasted at the mines, and
if it can be used for steeming, thou
sands of dollars will be saved annually
BY railway companies.
= For soft coal the problem Of getting
useful fuel out Of the finer grade is
more difficult and it has been attacked
in a number of ways With coking
Goals it is easy to use the fine Goals
mixed with the humps in tho coke
ovens and thus obtain good quality Of
fuel in the form of coke. Another
method on which a large amount Of
experimental work has been done is
that Of briquettlng. and so far as the
mechanical operation is concerned a
number Of successful machines have
been designed and are in use in this
country. The cost Of making bri-
ouettes is. however, the principal OBJ
iectionable feature. and it is largely a
commercial problem as to just where
briquette machines can be prchtably
used for the utilization Of fine btu
minous coal

Now here are three Of the most
important aims Of this union. If the
farmers Ct this country will think for
on minute, they can readily see the
need of Just such an effort as we are
now making. The world is constantly
growing richer and still the man who
produces all this wealth has been
growing poorer every day.
Regardless of the 635 new banks
that have been established in the south
the past year, 1905, the farmer Of the
south is in a bad financial shape. And
will continue to be so just so long as
he allows himself and his produce to
be handled by the slick fingered gam
blers who inhabit Wall street and
other similar places. Some say what
must dor Join the Union; raise
your home necessities at home; put
your SURPLUS crop in cotton.
Here is the ticket
Pumpkin and pea vines, hogs and
hominy' Snap your finger in the face
of the spectator and tell him you need
none Of his help, and in two years you
will be an independent man instead
Of the dependent thing you are to-
day.
Well, MI Editor, have said
enough. Would like to hear from

CONNELL'S POINT LETTER.
Feb. Is, 1906.

Editor OF ARGUS:
Now shall try to fulfill my promise
made last week in regard to the Far
mers Union News.
First draw attention TO the farmer
by a few questions: Who is he who
riseth up in the morning when the
voice of the rooster heraldeth the ap-
proach Of day9 Who is he who wan
dereth around in the darkness OF the
morning preparing for the strenuous
duties of coming day while millions
who profit by his toll are yet being
coddled in the arms Of Morpheus2 1t
lis the farmer, he who tileth the soil
and feedeth the nations with the fruits
Of his labor. Now why should he not
unite with his brethren in union TO
protect himself from the many com
binations formed and forming to con-
troll him and his productSP
There is a certain class of people
who say the farmers cannot be or
ganized into anything pertaining to
business, let's see if the facts warrant
the conclusion.
The first charter was granted to the
Farmers Educational and Co-opera-
tive Union Of America on Oct. IL,
1902. Since that time there have
been issued 8t87 local charters to I'm
ions over Texas, Inoian Territory, Ark
ansas, Louisiana. Mississippi, Ala
bama, &c orgia, South Carolina, North
Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Maryland, Kansas and Oregon
and the Union is rapidly spreading
over all the other states and terri
tories.
Texas stands first in number Of Un-
ions, having a total Of 3,457. Then
comes the great state Of Arkansas
With the goodly number Of 500 local
lodges.
Now does this look like the straw
hat class, or the Hiram Hayseeds
can be organized or not2 am in
clined to believe that a great many
people are laboring under the wrong
impression in regard to this organiza
ton. There seem to be some who
think it plan cotton up for no good
purpose, but, my dear readers, if you
will bear with me, we shall see what
are the declarations Of our purposes:
lst To discourage as much as
possible, through an organized effort,
the present mortgage and credit sys-
tenn.
End: To assist our members in
buying and selling.
3rd: To labor for the education Of
the agriculture classes in crop diversi-
fication and scientific agriculture.
