roofing farmhouses and buildings,
! scattering grain stacks and uprooting
trees.

ance
Waukesha,-W aukesha was hit by
one of the severest electrical storms
it has experienced in years. The gale
/ played havoc with movable property
and proved destructive TO small trees,
fences and awnings. A barn on the
farm of Henry Bliemeister east Of
this city, was struck by lightning and
burned, together with several large
sheds and grain.
Manitowoc.- Thousands of dollars
worth in damage resulted from light
ming. On the farm of Carl Fricke,
! four miles from this city, lightning
set fire to the barn and granary. John

at $4,000. were burned to the ground
by fire caused by lightning during the
storm. The flames threatened the
Denis residence and the Holy Cross
Catholic church close by, but a heavy
rain accompanying the storm pre-
vented those buildings from catching
fire. About a hundred farmers fought
the flames, but were unable to save
the buildings or their contents.

Little. but Oh. MuI

Senator Smoot of Utah tells story
on the late E. H, Hartman, which
sounds somewhat familiar. He says
that when the Salt Lake cutoff was
completed Mr. Hartman took large
party of big railroad men out to it.
They had their pictures taken at
the right spot scenically. Mr.. Harri-
man stood at one end of the group.
When the pictures were printed and
the photographer brought them around
the railroad men examined them.
Why" shouted one of the guests.
where's Mr.. Hartmann"
DO you mean that little chap that
stood at the end?" asked the photog
rapher. Why. | cut him off,

of Vicksburg, is rapidly nearing COM
pletion.
On Wednesday, Oct 10, it will be
dedicated with ceremonies of deep
interest to all Wisconsin men who
participated in the battles, charges
and the siege resulting in the sur
render of Gen. Pemberton and his
army to Maj. Gen. U. s. Grant, on
July A, 1868, the day upon which
Gen. Lee with his army retreated
from Gettysburg after one of the
severest punishments he and his
army had ever received.
The original plan was to have the
monument completed and ready for
dedication on the anniversary of the
day upon which the famous charge
was made, but the work could not
be completed in time
The monument will be one of the
most beautiful yet erected in the
Vicksburg park, where already there
are scores of monuments, though
other states have placed more expen-
sive ones, including Illinois That
states monument cost 100000. Mis-
sissippi will have one at an expense
of $4,000 and Louisiana will in
vest 100000. New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Iowa and other northern states
have already placed monuments
There viii be present at the ded-
ication Representatives from all of
the seventeen different commands
from Wisconsin that participated in
the battles and siege. One of the
addresses will be delivered by DR..
J. L. Jones, who was member of a
Wisconsin battery that did good serv-
ice throughout the siege.
An address will be delivered by
Maj. Gen. Fred d. Grant, son of the
great Gen. Grant who planned the
Vicksburg campaign-the successful
campaign that resulted in his promo
ton from no rank whatever in the
regular army to the highest rank
then allowed, that of major general.
1t also resulted in such a growth of
confidence in his military skill, not
only with President Lincoln but by
the whole north, that his assignment
to the head of the army and the navy
to finish the war, resulted
Gen. Fred Grant was boy of 13
at the time of the Vicksburg cam
paign and was with his father
throughout that demonstration His
presence and address will add great
ly to the interest of the occasion, for
he is not only popular with the vet
Grams of the north but with the vet
Grams of the south, great numbers of
whom will be present and participate
IN the interesting event.
Commissioners Bird, Weissert and
Burnham have been untiring in their
efforts to make the best possible
showing with Wisconsin's generous
appropriation
The name of every Wisconsin man
who had a part in the campaign viii
have place on the monument, in
plain metal letters.
The original commission consisted
Of the late Gen. George E. Bryant,
the late Col w. F. Villas and Col
A. G. Weissert
Capt. H. P Bird, of the commits

meeting with Commissioners Weis-

FORESTS STILL BLAZING
Fire Situation in Montana Serious and
Help OF the Regular Soldiers
Urgently Needed

Butte, Mont, Aug. IA Miner spe-
cial from KalispelI says:
The seriousness of the fire situation
became better known today when il
was learned that the forest officials
mere had sent for soldiers to aid in
nghting the flames, not depending on
local help which is difficult TO get in
sufficient numbers. The officials are
desperate, and they hang on a hair
trigger expecting the wind at any time
may cause cOnflagratiOn worse than
any yet experienced. The worst fires
are up the saltwater. the South fork
or the Flathead, various streams empty
ing into the Flathead from the Glacier
National park side, and along Willow
creek at the head Of Flathead lake.
Eight men were sent from the latter
place today and % from the various
Ilres north and east went out yester-
day.
An Associated Press dispatch from
spokane this afternoon stated that a
company from Fort Wright is now on
It's way here. 1t is presumed that Su-
perintendent Logan OF Glacier park has
also called for military help and il is
believed the soldiers were sent in re-
Spouse to his call.
Orders from the MissOula district of
ice today TO Supervisor Bunker here
told him TO secure local help in lieu OF
soldiers, who could not be procured
and advertisements have been sent out
gaining Tor men Many are responding
but their number does not fill the de-
mand. Experienced men are at pre-
MUM, and efficient fOremen of crews
are difficult TO secure.

Established by Congress.
As these matches. are, esta blished by
Congress, which provides a trophy, and
as they are shot under the auspices or
the war department some facts In re-
gard 10 them may be of interest.
The national team match IS open TO
teams Of twelve, representing the IN
fantry. cavalry, navy, marine corps,
military and naval academies, and the
organized militia Of several states ana
territories. and the remaining two are
TO all citizens Of the United States. NO
entrance fee is charged, ana nDeral
prizes are provided by Congress.
All matches are shot with the cur
rent military arms of the United
States and the government furnishes
the ammunition for the matches and
for preliminary practice. The expense
of training the teams and sending them
TO the national matches is borne by the
states and territories from the S5OO,OOO
annually appropriated by congress TOT
rifle practice in the national guard ana
in passing. il may be remarked that
the gathering together of the best shots
from all parts of the United States. the
testing of ammunition, the ideas eN-
changed and the stimulus given 10
rifle practice is worth more than the
match costs many times over.

tournaments. viii occupy the same po-
sition during the present one.
At the national matches, the eXecu-
tive officer is supreme authority on the
firing line What ne may do may be
questioned later, but for the time being
he is absolute authority, and all ques-
ti0ns arising are referred TO him Tor
final settlement and there Is no ap-
peal on the range. His assistant as
the title indicates. is in charge of the
range and the pit officers. Each team
is entitled TO representative on the
range or in the pits, and about lOO
regular army and national guard OH
GERS are utilized for this purpose. Dur
ing the last national match approx
mately 100 regular army and 40 ma
tional guard officers were on duty.
The range and pit officers alternate,
so that they get experience in both ca
pacities, and also are relieved of the
monotOny attendant on service in the
pits where those who serve are desig-
mated as sand rats"
Range at Camp Perry.
The range at Camp Perry has 210 tar
gets, with so targets at each of the
ranges employed in the national match.
Consequently all the teams shoot at
the same time, under the same condi-
tiOns.
The statistical officer is an individ-
ual that has his hands full of work.
Every shot fired in the national
and transcribed on a card, one card
being allowed each team. AS rapidly
as team completes its score at any
range, the card is approved by the
range officer in charge OF its target
and ii is sent TO the statistical officer,
where the result is carefully verified
and tabulated. To insure speed, mount
ed cOuriers carried the cards from the
longer ranges. Just as soon as posi-
bic after each stage, a bulletin is is
sued giving the standing of the COM
petitOrs at that stage and up TO date.
This is done by the means OF tabulat-
ing machines and monographs. The
fact that the last match was shot one
stage in the forenoon and one in the
afternoon each day permitted the sta
tistical office to issue a bulletin twice
a day within half an hour after the last
score was in.
