THE men BEHIND THE GUNS
MAKE FINE RECORDS m SHOOT.
ING AT TARGETS.
Men on BattIeship Alabama Score 80
Per Cent. of Hits at Distance
of 5000 Yards.

Washington, ID. C. - Although the
quarterly target practice of the Allan
tic fleet is still in progress in Massa-
chusetts Bay and the results are not
formally reported to the navy depart
ment, returns have reached Washing
ton showing that a remarkable degree
OF proficiency in target shooting has
been reached by the gunners of the
fleet 1t is particularly gratifying to
the officials of the department to note
that this shooting has been accom-
plished at ranges that Few years ago
would have been considered absolute
ly impossible.
For instance, in the Spanish war
Admiral Schley was criticized for
bombarding the Santiago Moro cas-
tie at a distance of 1000 yards;
vet the vessels of the Atlantic
feet during the past fortnight have
been making splendid gun practice at
ranges from 1000 to 5000 yards. The
battleship Alabama has finished her
practice and appears to be an easy
winner She made the remarkable
score of 80 per cent. of hits with her
l3-inch guns at a distance of about
5000 yards, or nearly 81 miles. Her
firing was directed by Lieut. Landen-
berger who was member of the navy
rifle team that won the national
trophy at Camp Perry, o.. last month.
The target used by all the ships was
a canvas screen so feet high and 90
feet wide, yet it looked remarkably
small at a distance of from three to
four miles. The battleships steamed
past AT ten knots, beginning to shoot
at the target when it was 5000 yards
away, the nearest distance and con
tinued shooting until the range be-
came 5000 yards, or five miles.

INTEND TO BRANCH OUT.
independence Leaeuers Propose to
Extend Their Organization.

New York City - The organiza-
tion of National Independence
league was decided upon at a meeting
Friday of representatives OF state In
dependence leagues and others who
are in sympathy with the objects of
these leagues as outlined in state or
local platforms. The national body
will be a solidification OF minor
leagues existing or yet to be formed.
It's aims are political and in opposition
to the republican and democratic par
ties, which the league promoters de-
clare are dominated by corporation in
terosts and no longer are represent
atiye of the people.
Fridays conference was held at
Carnegie hall. where some 200 men,
said TO represent 30 states, met at the
invitation of the independence league
of this city and were addressed by
William r. Hearst, the gubernatorial
candidate last fall of the Independence
league and democratic parties in this
state Before his endorsement by the
democratic state convention and sub
sequent defeat by Gov. Hughes, Mr..
Hearst was the Municipal leagues
candidate for mayor and was beaten
by Mayor Mcclellan, the democratic
nominee.
Afternoon and evening sessions
were held, the feature of the afternoon
being the address by Mr.. Hearst, who
said that the conference had been
called to discuss the advisability of
forming National Independence
league. He told of the success of the
league in New York, Massachusetts
and California, and urged the forma-
tion of minor league in every state
and the union of all in a general body.
The republican and democratic par
ties, he said, were hopelessly in the
control of corporation interests They
failed, he said, TO truly represent the
people and third party was sorely
needed.
There We're other speeches, after
which two committees, one on organi
zation and another to prepare plat
form outlining the aims of the ma
tional body, were appointed,

HAKlNG CHEAP GOODS.
Low Prices Too Often Mean Inferior
Articles.

Efforts to cheaper cost of produc-
tion of numerous classes of goods and
to place them on the market in COM
petition with well advertised lines,
and at much lower price, has influ-
enced not too honest manufacturers
to turn out very inferior articles. So
long as they can be made attractive
in exterior appearance so as to please
those whose tastes are for the
"showy" seems to be the only consid-
Grafton. In the manufacture of stoves
and ranges particularly is there great
opportunity for fraud In different
cities of the middle west are large
concerns that make speciality of
manufacturing stoves to supply deal
ers who depend on cheapness to Sc
cure sales. These manufacturers buy
from junk dealers all classes of old
iron, and this remelted and worked
over enters largely into their manu-
factured articles. The result is that
a stove is produced that while it ap-
pears to be all right, few months
use will prove it to be almost worth
less. The tensile strength is not
there, the metal is rotten and brittle,
and the expansion caused by the heat
makes it warp and crack. The Innings
are of the poorest material.
One of the tricks employed is the
use of old sheet iron for lining
Throughout the south and in many of
the large northern cities the manu-
facture of artificial ice is extensively
carried on. Galvanized iron cans of
the capacity of 300-pound ice-cake
are used, and in every large plant
thousands of cans are in use. The
ammonia that is used in the process
Of freezing soon causes the cans to
corrode, and then they are rendered
useless for the purpose required. The
stove manufacturing concerns buy up
these discarded cans, and use them
for lining stoves. 1t can be judged
that the life of the stove in this way
is shortened, but as the stoves are
never intended to last long, the lining
is as good as the other material
which enters into their composition.
In appearance these stoves are all
that can be desired, but their wearing
and durable qualities are not half that
of properly made stove should be.
They are often sold at as high prices
as the best article but more frequent
ly are disposed Of as big bargains"
and are dealt in extensively by con-
Germs that advertise themselves as
manufacturers" and do business "di-
rect with the consumers" through the
mails. Makers of stoves who put out
brands of goods known to be standard
never resort to such methods, as one
inferior stove might result in the loss
of dozen sales, and no reputable
stove dealer or hardware merchant
would handle the goods.

HOME NEWSPAPERS.
Are Factors in the Enlightenment of
the People.

This is an era when the business
man who would succeed must place
the right value upon publicity. This
is the most enlightened era the world
has ever known. Only a small per-
centage Of the people, particularly
among the English speaking, cannot
read and write, and in fact it is a rare
thing to find an illiterate person in
any American community.
In every farmers house can be
found from one to a dozen newspa-
pers and periodicals.
The old-style farmer Is fast passing,
and there is a general admission that
intelligence, in fact scientific training
is needed on the farm as well as in
the business house and factory. With
telephones, daily rural delivery serv-
ice and every innovation of civiliza-
ton, the American farmer is fast be-
coming noted among the educated and
advanced classes. They are readers,
thinkers and logicians. Growing gem
erations in agricultural communities
have all the advantages that the youth
of cities have, and few of the disad-
vantages. They surely breathe a
healthier moral atmosphere The
farmers are the main support of the
country press. They feel interested
in all local affairs, and the home pa
per is the means of keeping them in
formed of things going on Immediate
ly about them. If the average mer-
chant would give as substantial sup
port to the home paper as does the
farmer, the editor would not only be
enabled to give the farmer a better
paper, represent his interests better,
but the merchant would receive a ben
eft in seeing his town improve and
its business increased, and all his
environments improved

Millions Are Lost Annually.

Fifty millions of dollars annually Is
a conservative estimate of the amount
that the people of the United States
are swindled out of through the opera
ton Of fraudulent investment and in
surance concerns.
How easily people are influenced to
make investments in questionable con-
Germs, has been recently strongly IL
lustrated through the operations of
the different alleged cooperative mer-
camille, home-building and investment
schemes which have been declared
fraudulent by the postal authorities.
1t is during the times of prosperity
that the schemers find the richest
field People who never had the hand
ling OF much money, and who and In
their possession a few hundreds of
dollars. just have enough for the
taste" of wealth so that they are
easy victims for the sharpers who op-
crate fake" enterprises which hold
out alluring promises of great re-
turns on small Investments. State
laws for the control OF such concerns
should be stringent, and severe pun.
ishment meted to those who operate
them.

FOOL THE PEOPLE
MOTTO OF "GET-RICH-OUICK"
MEN AND FAKIRS.
HOW SCHEMES ARE WORKED
Desire to Get Something for Moth
ing" is Played Upon-Exercise
of Common Sense Would
End Graft.

"You can fool some of the people
part of the time, but you can fool 9TH
ers all the time" seems to be motto
of the get-rich-quick men and gold
brick" operators. Pages of the daily
and weekly press may be filled with
warnings tc readers to be on the look
out for swindlers, yet many who are
credited with intelligence will keep
right on biting at bats thrown out to
them by various concerns who sell
eats in bags
Psychologists say that every person
mas weak spot somewhere in the
brain. 1t seems that this softness is
commonly manifested in false reason
ing that frequently one can get some
thing for nothing. Understanding this
desire on part of the majority the
fakirs bait their hooks accordingly.
There are large concerns which have
built up great enterprises by repre-
senting to the people that with each
bill of goods purchased the buyer
gets something for nothing"
Just think of a graft" like this
shat will draw $500 worth of soap or
ders in a single month from a town
OF 10000 people, But this is just
what has been done within the past
few months Just think of wives of
Grocers and dry goods merchants in
large cities joining soap clubs" and
paying a dollar each month to for
eign concern just to secure a pre-
MUM, while their husbands could
supply them at half the cost all the
soap and the premium too! Yet
such is the drawing power of "the
something for nothing argument. if
the Creator gave these women com
mon sense they little know how to
utilize it.
Some means should be devised to
tax directly or indirectly the con
Germs in foreign cities that seek to
through the mails. At present they
are protected by the interstate com
merce law. These concerns make
their money by dealing with the peo-
pie of some community, where they
pay no taxes direct or license fees.
The merchants of the town are
taxed upon the business they do. Is
this proposition a fair one? The for.
eign insurance companies doing bust
ness in a state must pay a license fee
for so doing Why not compel the
foreign mercantile concern to do the
same? Our national laws should be
so constructed as to provide that
there be a tax on the amount Of bust
ness transacted in a state by any
mercantile concern in another state,
unless the business be transacted by
concerns which pay taxes within the
state for the doing of such business.

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
Reports of Retail Business are Favor
able, but Manufacturing Returns
are Not So Bright.

New York City.-R G. Dun G.
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Lower temperature accelerated the
distribution of seasonable merchan-
disc and mercantile collections be.
came more prompt. but agricultural
prospects were less bright in few
sections that experienced killing frost
before the crops We're beyond Ganger.
Reports of retail trade are favorable
with scarcely any exception, tie fall
demand equalling sanguine eXpecta-
tions, and jObbers in all leading lines
of wearing apparel report the seasons
results equal to last years.
Manufacturing returns are more il
regular, but most plants are well oC
cupied and have orders covering pre-
duction for some months. Purchase
for more remote delivery are re, "iCt
ed by the financial uncertainty. ars
ity of labor retards work ut many
points, while other delays are due t
strikes, of which several are in pre-
gress. There is also much complaint
of car shortage but not more than is
customary at this season.
Iron and steel producers are still
fully occupied filing old orders and
many plants have enough business on
hand to be Independent during the
balance of this year, but new con.
tracts are placed with increasing eau
ton.
