There is not quite so much talk of shortage of cars. little while ago, 1t was claimed, officially and other wise. that by crop moving time all the idle cars would be working, and that there would not be enough to 'go around Something is being done to put in order the cars which have been ornamenting the tracks. and these, 1t is now said, will carry the railroads through According to some reports, there Is not much left of many of the cars which have been on the retired list They have been called upon to give up about all the parts from which they could be conveniently separated, owing to orders given out to "econo- mize," This has been construed as meaning that Peter could be robbed to pay Paul, and that Peter would be taken care of when times got better. Few new cars have been ordered for reasons about the same as those given for not keeping in order out order cars.

PLEDGE FOR THE LEGISLATIVE CANDIDA ss.

A pledge that Should be exacted from every candidate for the LegisIature
IL the promise, if elected, to vote and work for the repeal o the voting
machin act. There are no county nominating conventions this year. II the
new pinary election lax had not abolished these conventions there is n doubt
after tn decisive announcement against the machine in TIL recent special
elections, that all throughout the State the county conventions would have
adopted platform resolutions ptedging the candidates to votef for the repeal of
the vohng-machre law. The pledgins of candidates takes the place oft h con-
ventionr resolution. 1t is always hard to procure the repeal of a law that carries
with it rona graft or avr for some influential interest. There is graft In
the voting machine law. If the act car De maintained and Its objects fully car
rjd out it means future contracts worth hall a million dollars, with their rake
offs for individuals. The State treasury has already been muced n he sum
of 100000 That car be put down to profit n loss, lest h amount that can
be recouped by h sale of thu machines al junk. Pledge he candidates for the

RISBEE RIFLE CLUB.

Sunday was the best day for rife
shooting on the range for several
weeks and the riflemen made good
scores on all the ranges.
The work was little slow, as there
was only one pit-nan. On the zoo
yards Mitchell and Lyons got strings
of 40, and so allowed Ives to carry
off the honors at the short range.
Then dropping back TO the 300 yard
firing line the scores showed but lit
tie falling off, though the target is
the same as for the short range. A
delay was caused at this range by two
ladies riding across the line of fire
and in great danger bad they not
been discovered by the telescopes at
the firing line. Every precaution is
used during rife practice, but such
carelessness was the canse of much
comment at the firing line.
At the 500 yard targets Lyons,
coached by Watkins made the posi-
bic, and Hurst coached Mitchell and
Apgar for a % each.
The regular meeting of the rife club
will be held IN Hurst's Office on
