GUN SHOT NOISE:LESS
NEW RIFLE STANDS TEST BE
 FORE eoclETY,s OFFICERS.
Click of Hammer and Thud of Bullet Only Sounds in Firing Rife Dur ing Demonstration by Hiram
 Maxim, the Inventor.

New Ycrk.-In absolute silence, save for the sharp. short click of the rife hammer as 1t fell and the thud of the impact of the bullet on the target Hiram Percy Maxim repeatedly dis charged his noiseless firearm.
 Using stack of old directories as a mark. MT. Maxim demonstrated to Al fred Wagstad. president. and the board Of managers of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami mals the possibilities of the new weapon. q g caltaer rife.
 His demonstration was given in the offices Of the society at Twenty-siXth street and Madison avenue at the re- quest Of members of the board of managers, who are seeking a sEaHsh- terins weapon tkat will kill without causing pain. Heretofore firearms have been impossible on account of the loud report.
 Mir Ma1ims sileaeer comprises a series Of aluminium cells, fitted with interior equipment that automaticaily cuts oa the powder gases from sud den escape after the bullet has passed from the riaa barrel Fhe gases es- cape slowly. and consequently without noise, through silence cells fitted to the rife barrel
 Experiments are soon to be made bE officers Of the bureau Of ordnance in the army with a silent rifle the inventor has made fo2 military sharp shooters. This weapon ts more com plicated in construction than the slaughtering rife. since the degree of sound n warfare must be an absolute minimum
 Tn making a silent rife for the army many difficulties will have to be overcome that are not met in this slaughter gun. said Nr Maxim Tn this gun only the report has to be overcome. but in an army weapon l must start farther bacA and first over- come the sound Of the falling ham mer. To do this in turn requires change il the cap of the cartridge so thst il may be discharged with a shove instead Of snap.
 It was through his study of the au- tomobtle and the problem of reducing the noise of is machinery that Mr Maxim hit upon the principle of con structiag q gun that could be fired without noise.

 Holmes never killed cat or any other creature in his life, and he didn [ intenG to begin at this late date. so he threw on the reverse.

D. H. Perkins Chosen
Superintendent.

In our last issue we reported the
formation of joint school board,
embracing the boards of the towns of
Madison and Skowhegan, and the
fact that at their first meeting they
were not able to agree upon the APP
portionment of the time of the super
intendent between the two towns. A
second meeting was held, Thursday
of last week, at the Office of the board
secretary, DR.. W. S. Stinchfield of this
place. Professor d. H. Perkins was
chosen superintendent and the matter
of the division of his time was reach
ed by alloting Skowhegan eleven
days to Madison's nine. The salary
will be $1,000, half being paid by the
state, $3.50 by Skowhegan and the re-
mainder $500 by Madison. In the
matters of Saturdays and vacations
Madison, if they require it, is entitled
to an equal division of the time with
Skowhegan. The superintendent is
to pay all his own expenses, for team
hire, transportation etc.
Mr.. Perkins, the new superinten-
dent, is native of Brooksville. He
is graduate of the East Maine Con-
ference Seminary OF Bucksport and
of the University of Maine, being a
member of the class of 1900 of the
latter institution. He has also taken
a post graduate course at the Univer
sity of Chicago, the necessary work
and attendance being completed i'll
1906. He was elected principal of the
Skowhegan High School in 1902 and
in that position has proved very eff
cient, and popular alike with parents
and pupils. He will enter upon his
duties as superintendent of the Show
hogan and Madison schools with the
general expectancy that he will prove
a model official in that, capacity. He
will complete the present school year
in charge of the High School and his
term of Office as superintendent will
begin on June 30th next.

In Washington.

The venerable Senator Whyte of
Maryland having departed this life,
leaves Senator Allison of Iowa, who
is 70, the Oldest member of the upper
branch. In former years he was Mr..
Blaine's boon companion.
Speaker Cannon and Vice President
Fairbanks have announced their be-
lief that the present congress will
pass an employers liability act which
will meet and overcome the uncon-
stitutionalities of the present law
pointed out by the Supreme court of
of the United States in recent de-
cision.
The ship subsidy bill has been pass
ed by the Senate. 1t pays to Is knot
vessels plying between this country
and South America, the Philippines,
Japan, China and Australia "a per
mile, the amount awarded by the act
of 1891 to vessels of 20 knots only
The bill was amended in the Senate
so that II knot vessels will receive 50
per mile, which is the allowance I'M
der existing law to is knot vessels.
During the consideration of the
measure, Mr.. Hale made a spirited
plea for an auxiliary navy, declaring
that without auxiliaries our navy is
dependent upon foreign countries
and that in case of war we would be
helpless.
The House passed the pension APP
propriated bill, carrying $3.50, Se9, 900,
the largest sum ever authorized by
that measure. The pension agencies
were abolished, but it is expected
they will be saved in the Senate.
United States Senator William
James Bryant of Florida, died Sunday
in Washington. He was the youngest
member at the board, and had taken
his seat only 70 days since. This is
the fifth adjournment of Congress on
account of death, this session.
The President will, this week, send
in a message, urging special session
after March, 1909, for the purpose of
revising the tariff and anti trust laws.

Annual Inspection.

Inspector General Chas. E. Davis of
Augusta met with Company Z at their
armory in the Heselton block last
evening and conducted his inspection
which he makes annually on behalf
of the state of Maine. The United
States government also sends its in
spector here once each year. Cap
tain Ansel will be the inspecting Off
Ger for the U. S. government this year
and the inspection will occur on April
Ia.
1t is a part of military training to
keep all equipment In order and the
various rooms of the always nicely
arranged, but special care is always
exercised on inspection days and one
would have searched the armory last
evening for hours without finding the
first sign of disorder The fifty
lockers in which the rifles and equip
ment are stored, were all supplied
exactly alike and each separate piece
of equipment was hung or stored in
identically the same manner. Com
pany Z Band was in attendance and
furnished music for the occasion.
Company E has received two of the
new Springfield rifles, with which all
the men will soon be furnished. This
new arm is a repeating rifle with a
magazine for five cartridges. 1t is
one pound lighter than the gun pre-
viously used but has range of 5000
yards, equal to three and one half
miles. The members of Company E
keep up their indoor target practice
all the time and will commence work
on the outdoor range on Patriots
Day, June ID. They have now fifty
four men on the rolls and expect to
enlist four more in the immediate
future to make the full quota of fifty
eight men.

Somewhat Personal.

The REPORTER this week has had
the pleasure of visit from Hon. How
ard Owen of Augusta, who has done
the chief editorial work of the paper
since the death of Joseph o. Smith in
1905, his writings usually occupying
the first two columns on the first
page.
Mr.. Owen has had journalistic ex
perience extending over many years
and has fund of information which
includes the men and affairs of two
generations. His first work was as a
compositor in the Office of the Lew
iston Journal, then published by Will
liam H. Waldron, and boasting a cir
eulation of but 1900 copies. Later
Mr.. Owen entered the office of the
Kennebec Journal at Augusta, serv-
ing as journeyman printer, office
foreman, editor and proprietor, in all
a period of twentysix years. He is
properly spoken of as one of the
founders of the daily Kennebec Jour
nal as the change from a weekly to
daily was made while Mr.. Owen was
one the proprietors, the firm name
being, Sprague, Owen & Nash. Dur
ing this time he had the opportunity
of forming the acquaintance and
friendship of many men, then and
subsequently among the famous
names of the state and nation.
Among these the friendship treasured
the most sacredly in his mind is that
of James G. Blaine, who was editor OF
the journal during the time that Mr..
Owen was foreman. Mr.. Owen was
also one of the editors of the Maine
Farmer for sixteen years and at the
same time served Kennebec county
as its register of probate.
Following so constantly the pro-
fession of journalism he could hardly
avoid being ready speaker as well
as writer and has accepted frequent
invitations to become the orator of
uhe aay OH many puDllc OCCASIONS IN
the different towns and cities of the
state. Although his school studies
were completed at country school,
and he never enjoyed the advantages
of college attendance, he was honored
by Colby College with the title of A.
M. in 1879.
1t is only through the most fortu
nate of circumstances that the Re
PORTER is able to offer its readers the
services from week to week of such a
distinguished editorial writer and it is
with pleasure that we take this OPP
portunity, at the present time, to
acquaint our subscribers with these
few facts concerning him.

A Thorough Surprise.

and Mrs. Harley Annis are members,
gave them a surprise party on the
evening of the nth Mrs. Annis was
III the secret but her husband was SO
much in the dark that he was taking
a nap on the couch when the company
arrived at the door. BY skillful man
agement the guests were quietly ush-
cred in without his knowledge, one
couple remaining outside to ring the
bell and call Mr.. Annis TO the door.
He greeted this couple warmly and,
on showing them in and turning on
the light discovered those who were
already seated inside. Later in the
evening Mr.. Perley Woodland, in be-
half of those assembled, presented

Skowhegan Grange.

A large class received the third and
fourth degrees at the meeting of
Skowhegan Grange last evening.
Among the visitors present was Mr..
Martin, Master of kennebec Valley
Grange of Madison, Anon Baker,
Master of Bingham Grange and Mrs.
Henry Watson of Auburn, a charter
member of the Grange of that city,
formerly of Cambridge in this county,
all of whom brought fraternal greet
ings from their home organizations
A movement in which it is hoped the
farmers of this county may be inter-
ested, for the purpose of determining
the exact cost of hay culture, by
keeping the records of various pieces
of land through series of years, was
outlined by c. II. Gardner. An
nouncement was made of grange
social to be held next Wednesday
evening, at which time the play, Con
Guard" will be presented with pro-
gram of musical numbers and recita
tions to be followed by games arrang
ed for the enjoyment of young and
old. The attendance is to be confin
ed TO grange members and an admis
sion of ten cents will be charged to
defray expenses.
The evening closed with an oyster
supper served by section B to over
200 people.

Swallowed Horseshoe Nail.

Everett, the nine years old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Burnor, was the
cause of good deal of anxiety to his
parents for several days last week.
He was playing with horseshoe nail
about two inches long, and cough at
an unguarded moment sent it down
his throat. The nail was recovered
about forty eight hours later and no
inconvenience was experienced in
the meantime, although it was but
natural that the family should be
somewhat concerned.
While the digestive system of man
kind is not calculated TO benefit by
the introduction of mineral substan-
ces and especial pointed metallic ones
into the stomach, nature will, in
ninety per cent of such cases, take
care of them without harm to the
patient.
