to see since it affects no one particu-

merely assumes that all citizens who
have sufficiently succeeded, under the
laws and opportunities of their land,
in achieving substantial financial sue

maintain a government which protects
them in the enjoyment of their

A Mules Anecdote.

Walker Hogan, Agnes, Ca, IL years
old: Less than one hundred years ago,
bashful boy called on his best girl,
and, to pass the time, ne said, "Let's
tell some tales" His girl was col
lege girl and corrected him, telling him
to say anecdotes" and rot "tales."
Soon after this his mule, hitched at
the gate, began to rear and kick, and
he went out to look after him. When
he returned to the parlor, his girl
asked him what was the trouble. "Oh,
nothing" he said, 'only the COW was
chewing off my mule s anecdote.'

WORKMEN FIND NEW
RANGE WORKING WELL
Members of Los Angeles Revolver
Club Hold Shoot at Indoor
Quarters on Hill Street and
Plan Regular Contests

Last Wednesday evening the MEM
bers of the Los Angeles Revolver club
had a most enjoyable shoot at the new
indoor range, 246b South Hill street.
The attendance was large, nearly all
the marksmen being present. The
trolleys worked to perfection and the
ping of the bullets against the heavy
steel plates made a continuous din
which did not cease until late hour.
Peter E. Peterson seemed to have
a grudge against one of the target
clamps which hold the targets in place,
one of his bullets hitting the clamp
squarely in the center, which caused
the target to drop to the floor The
damage was repaired in a few seconds,
but Peterson decided to contlne his at
tention to the bulls-eye instead of try
ing to puncture target clamps VIII
Wright was on hand with his 22-call-
ber six-shooter, but his work was not
entirely satisfactory, as he used the
20 short cartridges instead of the long
rifle. The range was laid out and con-
structed almost exactly like the pistol
and revolver gallery of the well-known
Manhattan Rifle and Revolver associa-
tion of New York the trolley system
shooting booths, backstops, etc., being
exactly like the New York range in
every detail. From now on the club
will hold an indoor shoot every
Wednesday evening.
Only few of the members were on
hand at the Bishop street range for
practice yesterday, as quite few
were saving their energy for the mid
week practice on the 20-yard target.
A. b. Douglas started out by firing his
new revolver at the steel disks, which
are attached to a large steel plate
about two-thirds of the distance be-
tween the firing booths and the tar
gets Douglas succeeded in perform
ing the remarkable stunt of knocking
down four disks with three shots. He
won the weapon as a prize at the
shooting festival of the San Francisco
golden jubilee, and this was the first
time he used the new gun on the out
door range. During the remainder of
the morning he used the 20 caliber
pistol and did some good work with 1t
when he settled down to business. |.
C. Douglas was experimenting with
his grip with his .3S six-shooter, but
managed to bore out one score of 80.
DR.. Packard did some good work with
both pistol and revolver. A. D. Ma
comber, who has not had much eX-
perience with the shooting game, sur
prised the bunch by making three
scores above the 80 mark.
Following are the scores made yes

GOLDFIELD, New, Sept. 26.-The

After the rescue party had explored
every portion of the mine that could

DUGAN IS LEADING RIDER
OF EASTERN TURF SEASON
Crack Little Jockey Who Has Worn
Colors of All Leading owners
Given Highest Honors

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Eddie Du-
gan will have no trouble in carrying
off the leading riding honors on the
eastern tracks this year. He has been
on the job steadily barring suspen-
sion now and then. since Pimlleo
opened in April, and in spite of the
talk about rough riding, he has
larger following among horse players
here than any other jockey. Dugan
has been repeatedly scored by promi-
nent owners for his alleged foul tao
tics in the saddle, but nobody has
ever accused him of dishonesty, for
the little fellow is always trying his
best, apparently, and is seldom crit
icised for poor work. Dugan has worn
the silks of practically all the leading
owners, including August Belmont,
James r. Keene, S. c. Hildreth and
John E. Madden. Incidentally, he has
ridden the best horses in training. But
at that there appears to be some
doubt whether Dugan is better
jockey than Vincent Powers, Butwell
and Taplin.
Before Powers was placed under the
ban by the Jockey club stewards he
convinced many patrons of the turf
that he was a finished horseman. He
showed equal skill in sprints and long
distance events, but hes got into
trouble, it is said, because Nof the way
he was beaten on overwhelming Ia
vorites. The turf governors have not
publicly accused him of anything
wrong, but they say he was set down
for rough riding. Powers cannot ac-
cept mounts anywhere in future
therefore until his suspension is raised.
Taplin, like Powers, did not ride at
the eerlier meetings here. He was in
troduced TO the metropolitan public at
the end of the Sheepshead Bay spring
meeting by H. G.. Bedwell, and during
the subsequent session at Empire City
the boy created a sensation. He went
up to Saratoga to score other sue
cesses, but when BedweH was asked
to put price on the Jockeys con-
tract he declined and took Taplin to
the Canadian circuit with him. 1t is
believed that if Powers and Taplin
had started riding at Pimlico when
Dugan began his campaign and had
remained here until now, both would
have more winners to their credit than
the present holder of honors. But as
they did not, Dugan stands alone as
far as winnings, second and third
mounts are concerned.

UP The POLE

The most original telegraph line in
the world once extended from La Paz,
the capital of Bolivia, to the neighbor-
ing town of Oruro, a distance of about
1876 miles. There are no growing trees
in this part of the world and wood of
any kind is so rare that the telegraph
poles were made of the same material
as the natives household furniture
dried mud. The pillars were built on
stone foundations and measured about
five feet square at the base, with n
tapering height of fifteen feet. They
were placed about $50 feet apart.
Another curious telegraph line was
constructed in Uganda by British
engineer, who transported growing
trees to the roadside and used them
as poles because he could not find any
dead" wood that would withstand
the ravages of the white ants. In
Dutch East India growing trees are
also turned to account in this manner.
but here a wire is stretched across the
road between the trees on either side,
and the actual telegraph line suspended
down the center.-Geographica Maga-

After reading in the newspapers full
accounts of the boxing contest in st,

suffered a fracture of a small left hand
bone, Governor Handley said:
1T is evident this was a limited

Missouri. I shall advise the prosecut-
ing attorney to ask for a grand jury
investigation to determine if perjury
was not committed in securing the in
junction from Circuit Judge Wurde-
man preventing the sheriff and prose-
cutting attorney from interfering with
the fight. 1 think Judge Wurdeman
was imposed on by those who claimed
it to be private boxing contest"
