stood by the layman without violating
the orders Of the navy department not
to give out information on professional
subjects. However, what | shall write
may be found in publications issued from
the department and not marked conf.
dentiaP and. therefore, | hope not IN
violation Of the spirit Of the regula
tions.
First. we have what is called record
target practice in which careful record
Of each shot fred is kept and reported
to the department. This firing is done
in the most careful way, one gun only
being fired at time except in case Of
turret guns, when two Of them may be
fired at the same time The actual fir
ing Of the gun Is done by the gun point
err. the man who would do the firing in
time Of war, under the general charge Of
the officer Of his gun division on board
the ship
Umpires ere appointed who, under the
most carefully prepared rules, watch the
loading and firing Of each gun and note
any mistakes that may be made, This
firing is for the purpose of rating the
pointers, who receive extra pay ii they
make certain percentage of hits on
the target. Having once made this per
eentage the pointer must at each sue
eeeding practice, maintain at least his
rate Of hitting or his extra pay will be
discontinued. TO determine this i'm
pcrtant point, annual target practice is
necessary.
When the target, canvas screen sew
teen feet long by twelve feet high is
spread on a float previously moored for
the purpose, the firing begins. The cap
tain runs his ship over one side of a
triangle, SO that the distance from the
target varies from about 1000 yards to
/ 600 yards when at the nearest point |
A signal to commence firing is given and |
each gun pointer is allowed to fire as
many shots as he can in a given time, (
Only hits on the target screen are count /
ed, When both gun pointers at gun
have fired, or in case of turret guns the 4
pointers OF two guns, the ship leaves the /
range and passes near the target so that [
The result of the firing may be seen and I
the hits recorded. In this way every J.,
gun pointer in the ship takes his turn
and the practice is continued until every
gun in the ship mas been fired Service
smokeless powder is used, but in order
% reduce the expense as much as posi-
bic special cast iron shells are used in

Minister Hopes Shocking Example
May Have Good influence on
YOungeRnd Old.

The funeral Of Fred Banner was held
Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock in South
omaha. A large crowd was in at
tendance at the home Of Daniel Ban
ner, the father of the young man,
where the services were held. Many OF the
men were from the South Omaha Live
Stock exchange and came out of respect to
Daniel Banner. Mrs. Banner, his wife, has
been prominent in all religious circles. and
numerous friends In these organizations
were present. Altogether there were very
few who seemed to be there out of curl
osity.
The eremony was brief and was con-
Quoted by Rev. II. H. Willard and Rev.
George Van Wrinkle. The service was in
PRODUCED by a solo, sung by Miss Laura
Petersen. Rev. Mr.. Willard preached Il
sermon at many points touching in its
illusions to the regard of parents for the
safety OF their children. He deplored the
sudden ending of so strong a young man
in the first energy of his manhood, but
said II the sudden SHOCK could by any
means waken the cities OF Omaha and
South Omaha 10 the necessity Of presery-
Ing the moral integrity Of the citizens,
whether young men or young women, then
the grief so bitter in the present case would
have some redeeming consultations.
At the close Of the sermon, Miss Laura
Petersen and Miss Gladys Van SAINT sang
the duet, Sometime Wen Understand"
Walter Dawson. A. F. Marley, Clyde Van
SAINT, Fred Hill, John Colvin and Charles
Fernland acted as pallbearers.
The burial was in Laurel Hin cemetery.
Only relatives living in and very near South
Omaha were present. The rest of the large
number were friends and citizens OF South
Omaha.
Ex-Mayor Thomas Hector, speaking casu-
ally Of the case. said: Such an end as
this should serve as q solemn warning TO
the people OF the city that the morals Of
the youth are being seriously neglected. 1
regret to see, as / have been compelled to
see. so many otherwise admirable young
men growing up with absolutely no re-
speet for womanhood. This is a bitter,
fatal mistake. Its penalties are more pol
sonous and far-reaching than drink or
other kindred evils"

Hundreds OF Cars Full Are Coming

Range cattle still continue to pour off

has had over 400 cars from the ranges Of
Wyoming, and now has orders for 800 more
ears for this week. The ranges are better
than they have been for a number OF years,
and, as a consequence, the range Is In
much better shape. The early business was

the shipment was stopped because OF the

was the honor guest Wednesday OF a din
ner given by Isadore Ziegler at Hotel
Rome. The dinner was served in a new
dining room which Rome Miller, proprietor
OF the hotel, opened for the first time last
night and chose to dedicate with this
function. 1t is an interior room on the
office floor Immediately east of the lobby
and is most artistic in appointment and
comfortable in location and equipment, be-
ing so situated as to get ample ventilation
first hand. The room Is SO arranged as to
be commodious for a party of ten or fifty.
1t is not named as yet, but Mr.. Miller
thinks of calling it the Olive room.
The dinner was entirely Informal, with
no special toasts, but a most delightful
repertory OF timely stories, many OF them
being Of the latest Picturesque variety.
The dinnerS a work OF art in it's formation
and service, was set for 6 o'clock. At the
conclusion a silver loving cup, the gift
Of the friends present, was presented to Mr..
Reiter by Colonel T. w. Mccullough, who
bespoke the sentiments of all, expressing
sincere regrets at Mr.. Refers departure,
but pleasure in the fact that his leaving
meant advancement. Mr.. Reiter had been
in omaha seven years as manager of the
Orpheum ard Colonel Mccullough ventured
to say that no man in any calling ever
came into the city and remained for a
similar period and took away with him
more friendships OF the substantial char
acter as Carl Reiter will take when he
goes to Seattle.
Mr.. Reiter acknowledged the manifesto
lions Of friendship will native grace and
assured his friends that his leaving was
not all happy to him.

BOSTON GREEN in HIS GRAVE
Old Man, Known ms Police
Mascot, Laid Away with
Religious Form.

Boston Green. police mascot for many
years and we'll known public character, is
buried. The funeral took place Wednesday
afternoon. Rev. John Albert Williams, pas
tor Of the church Of st. Philip the Deacon
performed the ceremonies IN the Davis un-
d%ertaking rooms, which were crowded with
friends. white and black. Jew and GENTLE.
The black casket stood in one corner Of
the room, surrounded by ferns. On top Of
It was a floral design with the legend, AT
Rest"
A continuous stream or people called dur
ing the few hours Immediately preceding
the service to look on the face Of the man
whom most Of them had seen about the
streets of the Third ward for many years.
Most of these were colored people. though
there were also many white men. Under
the glass of the casket lid the face looked
quite natural, though the white collar and
cuffs and the black suit seemed exotic.
Still, most Of the visitors agreed with one
garishly dressed woman with a green cell
luloid bracelet on her fat arm who looked
into the casket and declared, loudly, IT'S
him, all right"
A. motley crowd filled the room when Rev.
Mr.. Williams began reading the service.
Near the head Of the coffin sat James
Tobes, an aged colored man who knew
Boston Green for twenty years. He leaned
heavily on his cane. with bowed head.
The minister explained that, while the
office of the dead is refused to such as have
not been baptized or who have led motor
iously wicked lives, still the church throws
it's mantle of charity over the past of any
mar who is not proven guilty beyond q
shadow Of a doubt.
Whatever may be believed against Bos-
ton Green" he said, 'he was honest and
true to his friends. / remember whep 1

And this was a striking characteristic
Of Boston Green"
The office of the dead was then said, the
same as is said over the bodies of kings
and emperors. The congregation passed be-
fore the bier and the casket was placed In
the hearse and, accompanied by pail
bearers and minister. proceeded to Forest
Lawn cemetery, where burial was made.
