PRINCE FINE MARKsMAN.

Ex-Crown Prince George of Ser
via, says Vienna report, once shot
pair Of pearl pendants from
woman's ears at a distance Of ten
PAGES. His aim was 80 true that the
bullets merely severed the gold wire
on which the pearls were suspended,
and the gems dropped on the wom-
ans shoulders and thence to the
floor uninjured. The two shots were
fired in quick succession without a
tremor on the part of the wearer Of
the gems, at whose behest the prince
had consented to exhibit his skill.

pie waged a hot fight against the nom

tense that something had to be done.
The people elected a proper set of men
and then watched for results. The new
set secured a young college man as super
visor of ebert and construction. Tho
young man secured specimens of COM
mon clay and sand. He found that the
two substances were cohesive and then
went to work. The material being cheap,
he constructed mile after mile of the
new process roadway. When it was
tested the people and experts found that
the new road was the best possible kind

RUSH TO DESK FOR
CHAUFFEUR PERMIT
THE NEW ORDINANCE REQUIRES
EVERYONE WHO RUNS AUTONO
BILE TO HAVE PERMIT FROM THE
CITY CLERK-COsT 81

As a result of the new automobile ordi-
nance, city ordinance No. 299, which was
adopted by the City Council May Is,
1870 and which requires that every chauf-
feur who drives a car shall have a per-
init from the city clerk and that he must
abide by certain speed restrictions and
crossing regulations, there was a STAN
pede of auto chauffeurs yesterday at the
desk of the city clerk, H. E. Shrop-
shire, Jr.
Mr.. Shropshire issued 141 permits dur
ing the day and expects to issue as many
or more today. One dollar fee is charged
for the permit and this money goes into
the city treasury.
The ordinance went into effect June 20,
but on account of the city election Mon
day there were no permits issued The
permit Is good for life or for good be-
havior of the individual to whom 1t is
granted. When a chauffeur is convicted
of violating the ordinance his permit will
be taken from him for a period of six
months and after that time a new one
will be granted. The secretary of the
recorders court will furnish the city
clerk with a list of offenders. The fine
imposed for violation of the ordinance
ranges from 81 to 800, but it is expected
that the forfeiting of the permit for
six months after committing an offenss
will be a greater punishment than the
fine.
The permit lays no personal restrictions
on an applicant except that he must be
Is years of age or over. The speed regu-
lations require that 10 miles per hour
shall be the maximum rate within the
city limits and five miles per hour when
passing street car that is taking on
or letting off passengers. 1t requires the
regular manner Of turning corners and
passing FESTIVE horses, horn equipment
and brake and light attachments. Mr.
Shropshire said that. the citizens appear
greatly pleased with the new ordinance
and feel sure that 1t is going to lessen
the number of automobile accidents in
the city.
