MINE PLANTING AT FORT ADAMS.
A Short Description, Of The Planting Sea-
son Now Going on at Fort
Adams, r. |.

General Ord, who has charge
of Mine Planting, arrived here IN
Monday morning. The "Plant-
or" IS just a new vessel, having
been out about a month. Mine
Planting consists of putting
mines under water loaded with
gun cotton or dynamite. We have
been planting the mines in rows
OF seven.
The details IN nine planting
are as follows:
Planting section-One on Port
and one on Starboard; the Att.
detail three row boats, each man
ned by six men. One detail on
the distribution box boat.
While the men on starboard
are planting one mine, the men
on port are getting another
ready. The planter then makes
a sweeping turn, comes up past
the distribution boat and gets the
cable to the distribution boat; the
men on the boat then make it
fast to the distribution box by
means of a turkshead. The
planter keeps thus gong first
from Port to Starboard until the
seven mines are planted and all
cables made fast by turkheads.
The distribution box is made fast
to large cable which leads to the
casemate and is made fast TO the
Electric Switch. The mines are
so arranged that they can be fired
one at time or all at once.
The boat crews have been
changed about ten times on ac-
count of the men getting seaslck.
The water has been very rough,
the waves coming in on the small
boats some ten or fifteen feet
high. You can imagine the teel-
lngs of the men In the boats.
Nine planting will continue
here for week more, when the
men will be glad, once more to
make use of their hunks in the
afternoon.
The PLANTER" after leaving
Fort Adams will go to Fort Greb.
ell, where it will stay two weeks.

and quiet after our hustllng west
ern towns. We visited the Par
lament Buildings and a fine
Museum.
But must hasten. We left Ia
coma on return trip by Northern
Pacific via Spokane, Idaho, Mon
tana, Wyomlng-s Fort Custer
ard graves OF massacreed heroes
and on to Alliance, Nebraska;
then driving to Denver, Colorado;
where we stopped to take an auto
ride over the city. Then to Col
orado Springs, where we stopped
for few days of sightseeing and
at Mamtou aud among tie canons;
then on for home and although
we had enjoyed our trip so much
and seen so much, yet when we
saw the miles and miles of wheat,
corn, alfalfa and orchards OF
Kansas, it looked good. We
were glad to be home again. We
were gone about SIX weeks.
Fear this is entirely too lengthy
aud yet have only touched here
and there.

VOLUME ELEVEN.

With this issue the FULTON
COUNTY News enters upon the
eleventh year of it's existence.
In the summer of 1898, when the
present editor and owner of the
paper conceived the. idea of es-
tabllshlng news paper IN Fulton
county that should be free from
domination of politicians, and
should be an all.around home pa
per, 1t little occurred to him that
in less than half of ten years 1t
should outstrlp it's predecessors
IN point of circulation aud inlu-
ence. 1t was recognized at once
as "thepeople's paper" and the IN
terest taken IN It's welfare by the
people-both by sending 1t news
and getting for 1t su bscriptlons-
shows that the men, women and
children of the County feel that
the NEWS is their paper. Fulton
county people at home read 1t,
and Fulton county people who
have gone away and made their
homes in distant parts-al alike
read the NEWS. There is some
thing IN the bond of brotherhood
that exist in the great family OF
NEWS readers, that makes them
feel a com mon interest IN Its sue
cess. AS the NEWS goes into the
homes scattered all over the land
every week, it carries tidings of
the joys, the sorrows, the sue
cesses of its people-the little
happenings IN the community,
and the matters of more import
ance-so that the thousands who
reads It's pages weekly are kept
In sympathetic touch with each
other. The Editor knows per-
sonally large percentage of the
subscribers, and they know him
and as he sits behind the desk
writing out the matter for each
weeks issue, it seems to him
more like the penning OF person
al letter. The Editor asks of his
friends the same kindly treat
ment, during the coming year
that has been given him all
through the past. When there is
anything of interest happens In
your family or neighborhood, do
not hesitate to send IL IN for pub
lication: for when it gets into the
News it will save you writing
dozens OF letters TO your friends.
Owing to the large circulation,
the NEWS offers the best of ad
vertlslng facllities--for it goes
into the homes OF Democrats, Re
publcans, and Prohbitionists,
alike.
Owing to the fact that the News
has outgrown its present quart
ers, arrangements have been
completed to enlarge our I.ress
rooms, and add new and addition
al machinery and equipm ents be
tween this and winter.

Score Made at Their Shoot at Webster
Mills Last Saturday. Distance
500 Yards.

AS information for those In.
terested, 1t may be stated that
the size of the target and of the
bull's-eye depends upon the
shooting distance. Where the
distance Is 200 or 300 yards, the
target lss4 6 feet; the bull's-eye,
8 inches; and around the bull s.
eye are two circles, each 4lnches
IN width. At each contest you
have seven shots. Hitting the
bull's-eye counts five; the first
circle, 4; the second circle, 3;
and anywhere IN the target out
side the circles, 3. Hence, 35 is
the largest score possible, with Z
shots.
When the distance is 500 or 600
yards, the target is 6 X 8 feet, the
diameter of the bull's-eye, 20
inches, and the width of the CIR
cles, s inches.
AT 800 and 1000 yards, the tar.
get is 6 x l2 feet, 36 inch bulls
eye, and circles, lS inches in
width.
Now, as to position in firing.
AT 200 yards, you fire standing;
at 300 yards, kEeeling or sitting;
500 yards, or more, shoot prone
that is lying on your stomach.

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

Actions, they say, in describing a
mans character, speak louder than
words.
But no louder than thoughts and
motives.
1t isn't only what we do but why
we do it that counts.
For that reason you do anyone the
greatest injustice in the world when
you ascribe a bad motive to his good
or Indifferent deed.
When we reach the point-as some
scientists say we sometime will-where
we can see each others minds just as
plainly as we see their bodies. then
we can judge each others motives.
and not until then.
But since for most of US it seems
impossible to wait for that time to do
our judging, we ought at least to be
on the safe side by allowing each deed
the best motive that could possibly
have prompted it.
And yet most people do the exact
opposite.
How often, for instance, you hear
some one say of a girl who does not
mingle easily with other people
"She's awfully stuck on herself. No
body's good enough for her. She

There will be amendments to the in

Many a time I have known girls
whose reserve was credited to such
motives to be really just plain shy.
In addition to the suffering they en-
dured from shyness they also had to
endure the injustice of being mis-

If prominent man does some very
kind thing, takes lot of poor chill
dren on an outing, or gives large
sum to the fresh air fund or anything
like that, there is always host of
people who say. "Oh, he just did it for

When a criticism like that dries up
the wellspring of kindness in a mans
heart as l think it often does. I be-
lieve those unjust critics are as guilty
of taking the money away from the
poor people who would have received

And what harm would it do you to

knew that he was a sham?
ooh, he's just jealous because I'm
doing better than he is. How often
you hear people turn off criticism or

POOR ARE NOT CRIMINAL
Archbishop Messmer Charges Crimes
to Ultra Rich.

Madison, Wis. Nov. 27.-In a sermon
at the dedication Of the new st. Barnard's
church and school. Archbishop Messmer
of Milwaukee combated the oft-made
charge that the lower classes breed
criminals.
ssIt always rrovokes me to hear about
the ignorance of the poor and to hear
the lower classes put down as the only
breeders of criminals he said.
1T is a lie. 1t is a foolish statement
made by foolish people. If study of
the lives of the rich be made it will
be found that the greater crimes are
committed by them. and that there are
greater tricks employed to prevent pub
Iicity.'
