WHAT OF

He would indeed be a foolish
prophet who would attempt to fore
east at this time the final results Of
the political cataclysm that took
place at Chicago last Saturday night.
While the result had been as clearly
decipherable as the writing on the
wall at Belshazzar's feast was to
Daniel. n the public mind thus in
q way prepared for what happened,
the ultimate results are vet to b. de-
termined. There have been other
splits in the republican party. nota-
bly, the bolt Of Senator Teller Of Color
ado and his adherents in the nven
ton at Denver in 1896 . But that was
more of q withdrawal than a bolt,
and call what took place at Chicago
Saturday by whatever name. the fact
remains that 1t is a bolt from the
party. Whether the same thing
would have taken place had the min
GRITTY been the majority no man can
tell. 0uesses are worthless and con-
illusions are necessarily based either

Persons at all interested in gun fir

volver or rifle or of heavy ordnance
Of any sort. occasionally come upon
the term "muzzle velocity and velocl-

bullet is travelling when it leaves the
muzzle of a weapon" is a likely COM
ment on the part of the layman.
AS a matter Of fact, this approXi-
mate velocity of the missile may be
one of the easiest of determinations
to make.
In the first place a drum-like cylin-
der is made of fixed diameter and of
sufficiently stiff paper to allow OF it
a cylinder of small circumference it
is necessary that the speed approach
1000 revolutions a minute. These
revolutions are produced by electric
power and the count is made by an
q mechanical register.
The gun is placed securely at the
required distance from the drum and
is sighted directly at the center of the
cylinder. which is spinning at so many
rods-even miles-a minute as its cir
cumference determines. With the
drums speed adjusted. an electric cur
rent discharges the weapon. the bullet
striking the center of the drum as
measured from top to bottom.
The reader understands that with
the drum stationary the bullet would
pass directly through it on the line
Of its diameter. coming out on the
other side with scarcely a shade of
impediment. With the drums peri
phery whirling at the rate of 1000
revolutions a minute and its diameter
only a fraction more than a foot. this
would mean a rate Of 1000 yards in
sixty seconds. Thus in the fragment

opposite side Of the drum would show
considerable deviation from an exact
diameter of line of passage.

inside the further rim of the drum.
that is used for the computation Of
velocity Of the missile. The speed Of
the cylinder may be computed to the

THAT SUPREME COURT DECISION

more than two candidates for the

The whole trouble comes from the
erroneous ruling Of the attorney gen
eral. There was never ans serious
question of the intention IF the law.
The reading in of the mandatory pro-
vision only served TO aid candidates
who might profit by the compulsory
vote for second choice and was a
f1imsy view at best. 1t is toe late now
to remedy the evil and rectify the
e%gregious error of the attorney gen
eral. Half of the voters Of the state
will not know Of the decision Of the
supreme court and If they are told
that they may disregard the instruc-
lions OF the ballot Itself. will believe
that it is only a political scheme to
rob them Of their vote for first

held that unless the voter did vote
for second choice his vote for first
choice would be thrown out This rul-

RECORD FoR BUTCHFRY

a German court paper boast
ingly issues, figures showing that,
during his so years career as a
sportsman, Emperor William has
killed 10000 pieces of game, in
GLIDING whale.
Emperor William didn't need
one Of these 10000 pieces. He
killed for the love of killing. AS
a bloody butcher he has probably
made the record. Mitch of his
game" has been kept in the royal
preserves for his killing and was
driven up to his gun to be slain.
Why shouldn't a king who
thirsts for gore have his private
slaughter house. where he could
60 and knock down beeves, or
stick pigs, and see the blood run?
It would be just as sportsman
like in the eyes Of all people who
are not possessed by the rage to
kill.

 RObS LOCAL MAN Passes Stolen Seaboard Air Line Checks for
 Money

P. H. Linnehan, a local jeweler, was re- gently film flammed out of $9i 90 by clever swindler who had, in some way, gotten hold of a number of Seaboard Air Line discharge checks. Names of the railroad officials were forged to the checks and the money is readily obtained with them. sh
 Some days ago the Seaboard Air Line depot at RSnericus. Ga. was broken into and a number of these checks stolen. Since then business men between here and Americus have been "stung" by the thief and forger. The numbers of the checks stolen range consecutivey between BsSH and BSS99.
 E The method of procedure employed by the man who has the checks is to fill in the amount he wishes to realize on the check forge the names ofthe proper offl- .cials to the check He then goes to jew eiry store, clothier or a saloon and buys a bill of goods, giving the check in pay ment, receiving the remainder of the check in cash
 description of the man who stole the checks follows: Age, 30 years height, D feet 8 inches; weight, 175 pounds. and has chestnut hair
