The shooting season on the range closed
last Thursday. Although the targets are
still working, the range being occupied by
United States Marines, stationed in Wash
ington. the outdoor rife practice of the
local guardsmen for 1907 is at an end. Col.
Lloyd NJ. Brett. Maj Alfred p. Robbins
and Capt. +. Penrose Smith, at head
quarters, and Capt. Thomas S. King, su-
perintendent of the range, concur in saying
that his has been successful season.
The score cards show that 13S officers
and 1.Uo5 enlisted men fired. making a
total of LAB or seventytwo less than
the number firing during the season OF
1905. The figure of merit of the brigade
will be much greater than formerly on ac-
count of the increase in the number of eX-
pert rinemen and sharpshooters. Never
before have the officers predomlnated so IN
qualtication. With few exceptions, from
Gen. Harries, through the entire staff and
i.ne, they have earned decorations for skill
with the rife. The example is sure TO
have beneficial results next season.
The estimate Is made that during the
season Just c.osed the District guardsmen
fired 80 600 rounds of service ammuni-
ton. The rife gallery in the Center Mar
ket armory will open in few days and
the season of indoor shooting will begin,
and the officers of the guard will exert
themselves to Keep alive the rife interest
Of the oder men and inspire the recruits
with interest in rifiemanship.
The close of the range brings a sense
of regret to hundreds of the men of the
guard No more will they follow this
year the familiar road from the Congress
Heights cars. through the lane along the
fence of the ST. Elizabeth farm, and
thence along the Hamilton road passing
the beautiful cemetery of the Washing on
lIcnrew congregation and going over the
fiei0s that lead down into the picturesque
valley of Oxon Run. But when spring

SAFEGUARD MlN1Rs' LIVES.

Mineworkers and operators are i'll
terested in the bill pending in the
Iowa senate prohibiting the storage
and transportation of powder or other
explosives in coal mines, while miners
or other employees are at work, The
bill provides explosives Shall not be
taken into any mine where twenty or
more men are at work. until the work
for the day has ceased and the mine
has been vacated, except as follows
Each miner shall be permitted to
have in his separate and individual
possession, at one time, not more than
one key containing twenty-five pounds
Of powder, or other explosive sufficient
for one days use. Such powder or
other explosive shall be kept by the
miner in wooden or metallic box or
boxes, securely locked, and said boxes
shall be kept at least ten feet from
the track. nor snail black powder AMI
high exp 'osives be kept in the same
box.
The measure is not designed to cor.
rect present abuses, as there have
been few cases of accident in the Iowa
mines from this cause, but merely as
a preventative and safeguard to the
lives of the miners and mine en-
ployes.

THE SEATTLE EXPOSITION.

The Iowa club of Seattle. of which
o. L. Miller, formerly of Ottumwa, is
president. and H. o. Bowen, also a
former Ottumwan, member Of the
executive board has inaugurated an
organized campaign of education with
view to interesting Iowans in the
Alaska-Y ukon-Pacifi exposition in
Seattle in 1909. The Iowa club is not
asking that a building be built for
amusement purposes, but that aid be
given in securing an appropriation
from the legislature for the erection
of building to be devoted to an OK
hibition of the products of Iowa farms
and mills. In letter to the press
the Iowa club says:
"As natives and former residents Of

different from the style adopted by the
simplified spelling board, while yet diff

elsewhere. A complete uniformity is
observed in the dropping of "u'' from

A NEW PROFESSION.

The railroads, traction companies
and public service corporations have
organized for mutual protection
against the multiplying number Of
damage suits for personal injuries.
American prosperity has developed
many novel industries but one of the
strangest is the profession of getting
hurt" There are hundreds, possibly
thousands of persons In the United
States who make a regular business
of figuring in more or less fake acct
dents so that they may be able to
bring damage suits against municipal
tiles, public service corporations and
individuals. In addition to this there
are thousands of lawyers, ambulance
chasers, and shady physicians, always
ready to take part in anything of this
sort.
In New York damage actions against
public service corporations amount
easily to $100,0O0,O00 annually, and
fully one-quarter of them are fraudu-
lent, without the faintest grounds for
action. So enormous has the total of
these actions become, and so great has
become the percentage of fraud, tlat
an organization has been formed,
known as the Alliance Against Acct
dent Fraud. to protect its members.
This organization has started regu-
lar Rogues' Gallery system Of preserv-
ing and disseminating information con-
corning fake accident claimants and
their attorneys and physicians.
The organization is conducting a
complete card index information sys-
tenn in New York and Boston and has
just arranged to start the idea in Chi
cago,, and will follow 1t Immediately in
Baltimore, Philadelphia and st. Louis.

Jefferson Bee-We have started a

who makes 1t a practice of waiting

BARRIERS should. in the interest of suf-
fering humanity, refuse to cut the hair
of town customer on Saturday, be-
cause in 999 cases out Of 1000 he could
as well have had his Samsonian habit
aments removed some other day. The
farmer who comes to town on Satur-
day is entitled to every privilege of
the barber shop, but the town fellow
not by mill site. We hope Jefferson
citizens will get this little suggestion
under the .oots Of their hair and have
their moving done at more opportune
times than Saturdays. This may be
none of our business, but we pass 1t

A BAD PRECEDENT.

Kansas City Journal.-The Hoffman

The newspaper boys josh great
deal about having lost their editorial
mileage strip. but we can't help but
take the matter serious, not particu-
larly on account of this one loss, but
on account of the precedent it will es-
tablish. Suppose that some joblot poll
tician issues decree that we shall
no longer exchange adv. space with
the merchant for hog breast and beans.

turnips and green's? Then what would
the poor penpusher do?"
