TRIAL OF SILENT
GUN is SUCCESS

The demonstration of the Maxim sill.
ent gun which was given at the Ha-
waiian Gun Clubs range yesterday
was huge success and astonished the
spectators who were present.
The silencer Is short metal tube
about seven inches in length and about
twice the diameter of the rifle barrel.
This Is fitted scientifically on to the
end of the barrel, in such a way that
the larger arc Of the tubs drops below
the rife barrel and does no obstruct
the sight.
There was demonstration silencer
in section and II looks like nothing so
much as miniature Parsons turbine
out. II is fitted, in fact, with a very
coarse rifiing, threated close and In an
opposite direction to the riding of the
barrel. This catches the gases after
the bullet has left the barrel and re.
verses their movement so that the
sound Is deadened and the shock or
recOil almost entirely eliminated.
The demonstrating rife was a Win.
chester 1920 and many of those pres.
ent took shots with and without the
silencer. The difference In sound Is
truly surprising, while the recoil diff.
ference is very marked. With a 10
grain cartridge the rifle makes not as
much noise as %, in fact one hears
nothing Of the explosion, but only the
zing of the bullet.
With low charge cartridge the rife
makes no more noise than an air.gun,
in fact, II not looking, one would feel
sure that II was an airgun that had
been fired. The silencer Is easily lit.

Ground Is
Suggested

There will be no cricket match on
Saturday. as that day will be the
end Of the month, ana most of the
players are too BUSY at that time to
get away for the afternoon. How
ever, on Saturday week there will
be another match between the MEM
bcrs of the club, and no doubt there
will be a big turnout Il: players.
The scheme mooted in an after
noon paper to the effect that cricket
would probably be played on the
park facing the Young Hotel Is n
most remarkable one, and one that
astOnishes a lot of CriCketers in this
city. The site would DO well for
croquet or some similar game, but
the idea of playing cricket on such
q miniature ground is absurd. What
would Bob Anderson or Morse do to
the bOwlers who were unfortunate
enough to oppose them on such a
small ground? why, the fieldsmen
would have to be placed on the
top of the Young, May & Co. and all
surrounding buildings, and 1t is APP
paling to think of the number of
runs some of the big htters would
make whilst the fielders were chas-
ing the ball around the roof gardens.
The suggested site would do very
well for practice wicket, and II
proper nets were provided to en-
close the batting crease, would be
u boon to the cricketers or this city,
who then would have chance to
have bat every afternoon. If this
could be arranged in some manner
cricket would boom right away. It
is the long trip out to Makiki, and
the lack of accommodation as to
showers, etc. that deter man from
playing in the afternoons. with n
pitch somewhere in the city. and
plenty of places to change ones
clothes and have a wash, cricket
would get such boost that Il would
become as popular as 1t is in other
countries.

he gave out this statement:
Il need not say that / found our
trip to Panama, most interesting and
instructive. We were treated with
courtesy and consideration, and given
an opportunity to inspect the canal
and work in detail. We all came
away with one mind, and that is
that the work is being prosecuted
with speed and efficiency, and more
satisfied than ever that the dam and
lock canal is the proper kind to
build. l feel certain that it will be
completed by 1915 at a cost of $685.

itself proof of the high standard OF
American engineering and preserver-
ence. The sea was rough and all
were seasick, but nevertheless we
all came home feeling that we were
well paid for our discomforture and
time.

THRILLING PLAY OF COLLEGE
LIFE COMING TO DEBORAH.
Niepitorious Production Secured I'm
der Heavy Financial Guarantee
by Managers of the Grand.

"Strongneart," the play of college
life by VIM. c.. De Mile which has
scored so heavily in the past three
years will be offered at the Grand
Opera House, on Thursday, January
21st.
The merit of this production is so
well known it is quite sure that play
goers will realize that the coming of
"Strongheart" means an attraction
beyond the average announcement at
the local theatre, which has been Sc
cured only by heavy financial guar
antee.
This is the fourth season of
'Strongheart" and to all appearan-
ces there is no lessening of the in
terest manifested in it when it was
first produced. Its tour this season
has thus far been most successful
and the stars portrayal of the col
lege bred Indian has earned him
greater praise than anything he has
ever done. The quiet dignity of the
Red Man is in keeping with the
nature of the star and as the story
progresses and the great third act
gives it such a highly dramatic turn
he has ample force to meet the situa-
ton. His work has always been not
ed for it's keen intelligence and
finish, from all accounts he has never
appeared in anything where these
characteristics are more clearly dem
onstrated. The company which Mr..
Harris has provided for the support,
includes several players who have
been identified with Strongheart"
since it was first produced, and every
one of them was chosen with view
to maintain the college atmosphere
of the pretty comedy. Come out and
give "Strongheart" big house,
Prices for everybody-50 cents to
$3.50.

Dies i'm Chicago.

A telegram to Mrs. G.. p. Stouffer
brought the sad news last week of
the death of DR.. Frank Bruening of
Miles City, Montana, husband of Mrs.
Ruby Hong Bruening, at a hospital
in Chicago, from spinal meningitis.
DIR. BrueniDg and wife visited here
at Thanksgiving time and then went
TO Chicago, where he went into a
hospital to be treated, from which
death finally resulted last TUESDAY.
DR.. Bruening was a prominent ply
stefan of Miles City, Mont, where he
was held in the highest esteem by
everyone, as was attested by the
number who travelled all the way to
Chicago TO be present at his funeral.
He was united in marriage to Miss
Ruby Hong of this city about three
years ago, after which they spent
some time in Europe. Since that
time they have lived at Miles City.
During his brief visit here many OF
our people met him and most pro-
found sympathy is general for the
grief-stricken wife and child.

Power Dam About Completed.

Within very few days at the out
side everything will be completed for
business down at the big power dam
of the Upper Iowa Power Co. 1t is
expected that some day this week,
possibly today, the gates will be clos
ed down and the water raised from
the seven-foot level, where it now
is, to the sixteen-foot level, which is
believed to be ample TO furnish all
the power, required at this time.
Meanwhile the trees and rubbish on
the land which will be flooded when
the water is up TO the limit will all
be removed, and in the spring the
water raised to the twenty-four foot
level, where it is expected to be kept.
Our people will anxiously await the
transmission of power from the dam,
and as soon as the water is shut off
many will doubtless go down to see
the lake it will form.

rattle, and rumbling sounds like

there must be some local cause for it,

HJERLEID FOR BANK EXAMINER
Congressman Haugen Announces His
Recommendation for Important
Position.

Dispatches from Washington an
nounces that Congressman G. n.
Haugen of this district has recon-
mended Mr.. H. c. Hjerleid, cashier
OF the National Bank of DEBORAH.
tor the position of National Bank
Examiner, to fill the position made
vacant by the recent death of E. B.
Shaw of West Union. The appoint
ment is determined by the Iowa dele
cation in congress, and as this plum
has been allotted to Mr.. Haugen in
the distribution of Iowa's share of
the federal patronage, his recon-
mendation will settle the matter.
Soon after the death of Mr.. Shaw
three names were listed for the posi-
tom. H. Anundson and Ed. Clark
of Mason City and H. C. Hjerleid of
DEBORAH. 1t was given out through
the press that Mr.. AnundsOn would
be likely to receive the appointment.
A letter from Mr.. Anundson, who is
spending the winter in California, to
the effect that he was not candidate
for the position narrowed it down to
choice between the other two.
The people of DEBORAH and Winnie
shiek county rightly united in urg-
ing Mr.. Hjerleid's appointment, and
many bankers and prominent men of
northeastern Iowa rallied to his sup
port, with the result that he secures
the appointment.
The news will be received with
much pleasure by the friends of Mr..
Hjerleid in this section of the state
He is in every sense a self-made man
and deserving of substantial recogni-
ton. Previous to coming to DEBORAH
he was associated with the Union
Savings Bank at Cresco, and the or
ganization of the National. Bank of
DEBORAH was largely due to his eff
forts. He has been cashier of this
bank since it's inception, and has
demonstrated his ability as a banker
in most satisfactory manner. His
knowledge of every detail of the bust
ness will make him a thorough COM
petent examiner from the start, and
his appointment has elected congrat-
ulations from all sides, in which we
heartily concur.
The position pays goodly salary.
and requires also the appointment of
q clerk and stenographer.
