SHOOTS FIVE MILES.
Our New Army Rifle the Deadliest Ever
N 8 Invented.

Our New Army. Rifle the Deadliest Ever
Invented.
The new army rife is the deadliest
firearm ever invented. As tested by
ordnance experts, 1t has a range Of
Ave miles, will shoot bullet through
the bodies Of flfty-five men with the
nearest man ffty-three feet away, and
MT a distance Of nearly one mile it will
hurl its projectile through the bodies
Of six men, says the Chicago Chronicle.
1t is six inches shorter than the Krag-
Jorgensen, weighs nearly pound less,
and it requires but second or SO to
fix bayonets. a. i,
The name is the New Model Spring
field" and it VIII be made at the arse
nails In Illinois and Massachusetts. The
capacity. of the two plants is $50 rifles
day, but only. $50 are made at pres
ent, owing to the limited appropriation
made by congress. When the regulars
are supplied the new rife will also be
issued to the recognized state troops.
The new weapon-which is of COM
posite creation, the union of many
plans and devices lis forty 7three inches
long and weighs 947 pounds. The new
rifle, owing to its shortness, will be
used by both cavalry and infantry. It
is the shortest Of all rifles, for the next
in size is that Of the Japanese, which
ID forty eight inches In length. It will
give distinct advantage to the Ameri
can troops when they fight in jungles
In the Philippines or in thick under
growth, where the enemy will. be ham,
pered by longer and more cumbersome
rifles. }5a se% *.
By experiments made in shooting at
corpses 1t has been determined that
the fleshy part OF the human body,
from front to back, offers the same re-
sistance as a pine plank one inch thick.
In the tests Of this new frearm tar
gets made Of pine were used, and at a
distance Of fifty three feet a bullet
passed through SAT boards one inch
thick.
:. Despite the fact that the new rifle
win hurl q bullet five miles it is doubt
full If this test will be imposed In &C.
tual warfare. The best sharpshooter,
aided by telescope sight can see a
human target at distance of only
1000 yards, and 1t is doubtful If forces
in which infantry will be brought into
play Will oppose one another at dis
lance Of much more than mile.
One Of the most striking features in
connection with the new Springfield is
the mob cartridge = to be used when
ever troops are called out to suppress
riots. II soldiers were ordered to shoot
on such occasions It would be danger
Gus to have bullets that travelled five
miles, as innocent persons mile or
more distant might be killed. To meet
Just such emergencies the .'smob car
fridge" has been devised instead Of a
single steel .nosed projectile, and 1t Is
not effective at a distance Of more than
200 wards Il.

that is the position we find ourselves
in respecting much of the funds now

dollars tied up in transportation will
be quickly released when navigation
opens, and will be available for gen
eral purposes; consequently bankers
are relying on this, and look hopefully
forward to a great change for the
better in the immediate future. An
other gentleman who is in close touch
with financial Canada, is of the opin-
ion that the local stringency has been
due largely to the heavy amount Of
money sent by traders to New York to
meet their margins. Then, again, the
long and severe winter has caused a
general and continuous blockade on all
lines OF transportation throughout the
country, and as a consequence manu-
facturers and producers were unable
to deliver their goods and obtain pay:

WHEAT YIELD
CONDITION OF WINTER WHAT UP.
TO THE AVERAGE AND MAR
kET STRONG

/ Chicago, April with the law of
supply and demand so much against
it, the wheat market is doing remark
ably well in the matter of price sta
bility. New low records have been
reached for the season, but accom-
panying it is an undeniable and strong
faith in the general situation. The
faith seems to indicate a well set com
clusion that. no matter what may be
lacking in buoyant Influences abroad,
the home consumption Is potent
enough to keep values somewhere
near the current level, and that IL
widespread damage should be inflicted
on winter wheat higher prices are
certain to ensue. In the absence Of
bullish Influences abroad, the natural
tendency at home is to magnify sto-
ries OF injury by the green bug, by
unseasonably warm weather, lack Of
moisture and high winds. All the
trade comedies that considerable dam
age has been done to wheat In Texas,
and in parts Of Oklahoma, but very
small part Of 1t is convinced that the
crop as whole is greatly jeopardized.
On the contrary, allowing Tor the
manifest winter killing and insect de-
struction, the outlook today is for a
yield up to that Of several years past.

70 CLEAR OUT THE WOLVES.
Men With Ability as Hunters to Be
Appointed Forest Guards.

. n . IS .
Following up the WOLF inyesti ion.
By the department Of agriculture LAST
year, the forest service Is aiming to
appoint men as rangers and forest
guards who have had experience in
hunting wolves and coyotes. The
wolves do not, as generally believed.
make their homes and breeding places
In the forest reserves. In fact, all Of
the dens found in the neighborhood of
the reserves studied were in the foot
hills and outside the limits Of the re-
serves. But the damage the wolves did
was very real, amounting, as near as
could be estimated, to $4OOO,O0O an
nually for the western country for cat
tie alone. not counting sheep, horses
and other animals.
The forest rangers who have so far
been appointed with special view to
their wolf hunting abilities are r. L.
Brandenstein and ]. s. Whitlach In the
Sawtooth country, in Idaho, and Will
liam Postel and George M. Glover in
the Wind river valley of Wyoming. AS
these men are government employees
on a9salary and not trapping for boun-
ties. they will have no inducement to
let the wolves breed, killing of only
the old dog wolves, as is SO often the
case with the professional trappers.
They will hunt out the breeding dens
of the wolves and break up the fami-
Hes in this way. The next three
months is the time when this work Is
most effective, and good results are eS.

CANADIAN BANKS SHY ON CASH

0 Montreal, April 4.The great depre-
citation in the market value Of the
Canadian securities, which has been
the feature Of the Montreal and To-
ronto stock exchanges for the past
three weeks, has, besides sympa-
thetic decline with the New York and
London markets, been due also to the
unprecedented stringency Of money
throughout the Canadian banks. Sem
ator Forget, who is intimately in touch
with the financial situation, said that
it is estimated that at least the enor-
nous sum of forty million dollars is
tied up in produce awaiting trans
portation within the dominion.
The brokers have in SO many cases
got to the end Of their powers for i'm
mediate redemption of funds that
bankers are not anxious to force liqui-
dalton of stocks at ruinous price con-
cession. AS one broker stated. eYou

take her to some eye specialist, since it
to doctor No. 4, and he said the eye

We thought we would try doctor No. 8.
Well, that proved the same, only he
charged $40 more than doctor No. 4. u
We were nearly discouraged. II saw

WIN Catch the Tax Dodger.

When the county assessors go to
work next year they Will be armed
with three interrogatories that will
strike terror to the heart of the man
who has been in the habit of getting
off with a light assessment. These
interrogatories are for use in getting
personal property statements and
they go right to they point. The
property owner may not answer cor
rectly, and the assessor may have
his suspicious. In that case the as
SCISSOR is prepared for just such an
emergency. He has the authority
under the law passed last winter to
call in the neighbors and have them
swear to facts concerning the per-
sonal property of the delinquent
neighbor. Then there is another
penalty for trying to fool the as
SCISSOR. He is instructed to make a
note opposite the name of the man
who refuses to give a complete list
of his property, and the assessor is
authorized to add fifty per cent to
the value of the property as turned
in by the owner. The state tax COM
mission is determined to get the real
value of real and personal property
hereafter, and the law backs it up
forcibly. The property owner will
be required to swear that he has
turned in all of his property, and the
swearing will be real, not an informal
sort of procedure that it has been in
vogue for so many years. After
swearing to his statement, he puts
himself in such position that any
thing other than the truth will be
perjury, and the state gives the
county attorney a bounty of $25 for
securing conviction under this law. :

The Ellsworth District Ministerial
Association was held at Plainville
last week three days. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mumford attended and were much
inspired both by the association itself
and the opportunity to visit little
while with large number of old
friends. Many of them are much
farther advanced on the way to the
Blessed Life than five years ago. Up
on inquiry from the second Vice Pres
ident of the Epworth League it was
learned that they have over twenty
five Christian Stewards in the League
at Plainvilfe. Many of them are very
earnest personal workers. One of the
most prominent features of the as
sociation was the presence and address,
es of the Rev. DR.. St. Clare, the new
superintendent of Bethany Hospital
He is unquestionably one of the strong
est men who has ever represented any
of the great correctional interests of
the church in the west. Bethany is to
be congratulated upon securing such a
man as DR.. ST. Clare for superintend-
ent. She will prosper now as never be-
fore.
Some encouraging things were re-
ported to the third quarterly confer
ence held here last Saturday. One
thing was substantial gain in the
enrolment and attendance in the Jun
ior League, and also the good work
being done. The Presiding Elder went
to Gorham to hold meeting on Mon
day evening with view to looking up
the situation relative to the possibility
of establishing regular preaching ser
vices there.
The preaching services at Yocemento
continue regularly every Sunday at
