Twelve Mausers, 600 Cartridges
Imported Into City From Germany

Twelve Mauser rifles, Model II, all
in perfect condition; twelve bayonets,
bright as when they emerged from the
factory; six hundred CARTRIDGES, all in
tended for men who learned to handle
weapons under the greatest military
system in Europe, were quietly i'm
ported into Richmond yesterday in a
box lined with zinc, and resembling a
coffin.
Pennsylvania railroad officials who
received the consignment were igno-
rant of the contents of the Oblong box,
and the drayman who delivered it to
it's destination did not know what he
was transporting. The guns carry at
1000 meters and kill at that dis
lance.
Military drill with the Mausers will
begin at once. Men who formerly
used the weapons in bloody European
wars, handled the rifles with affection
today, and recalled the battles when,
with bayonet fixed they charged the
enemy or repulsed the attack.
The arms came direct from the i'm
perial German military depot at Span
dau, and were directed to William
Duning, secretary Of the Militaer-
verein Of this city. Co-incident with
their arrival was the general order of
the head of the local branch that
military drill be resumed at once.
All members of the local branch,
thirty or more, used this style of weap-
on in the wars which Germany waged
a few decades ago. Many of them
learned the German military drill with
this model. They are all familiar
with its mechanism, and the boast
was freely made that none of them
had lost his cunning as marksmen.
and could shoot as true and deadly as
they did years ago. MIR Dunipg's
store on North Eighth street was
crowded with members of the organ

A STATEN EMIT.
Editor of the Palladium:

Editor of the Palladium:
Will you kindly give space to this
little sketch in the peoples column.
Suppose it could be possible and the
Richmond saloon keepers would give
a show of all the results and effect
OF all the liquor they have sold in the
past five years, their advertisement
would run something like this:
The only original. mammoth, great
est show on earth; this most inter-
esting and instructive show is to be
given in Richmond March 16. In the
great ampitheatre seating capacity for
all this great show to be given. under
the auspices of the Richmond saloon
keepers: it is for the purpose Of prov
ing to the people just what our bus
mess has done for Richmond the last
Ave years.
The actors are real men, women,
boys, girls and little children having
been effected directly or indirectly
by our business, the scenes and places
are real; we promise to show every
act, word or thought, good. bad, or
Indifferent, caused by our wares.
Acted out by our great actors, there
will be the greatest picture shown
that you have ever seen, two great

one will be shown all of the evil.
secret thoughts, caused by liquor we
have sold, on the other will be shown
every thought, good or bad; the hap
py, the sad, all true to life, that have
been caused by or because of our
business These pictures will portray
the mental side only, the happiness.
the JOY and peace of mind and all
satisfaction, also the heartaches, ag-
ony, worry, and distress of mind
caused by our business. Our great
company of actors will go through the
performance of all they have done the
last five years as the results or eff
fects of our business. Every act car
red out as if it really had been lived.
This will be the best show Of your
life time; here you will find the jolly
good fellow, a great many humorous
features, if you want a good hearty
laugh or cry. Come everybody;
you will get your moneys worth.
Show to begin March 16, at O'Clock
a. m. It will last until all acts and
thoughts have been reproduced true
to life, caused by our business.
Managers.
Richmond saloon keepers, how long
do you think the city officials would
allow that show to run out in plain
view Of all the people. I believe the
saloon keepers themselves would stop
it if their sons and daughters were
there in a mixed crowd to see their
own show. If it could be possible and
the saloon keepers would give this
show as advertised in this little sup
posed play, and everyone would go
to the show, Richmond would vote
dry by so large amajority we would
never need to hold another wet and
dry election.

Worry is a big load to carry and an

ed with bilious sick headache. caused
by Indigestion, and nothing seemed to
relieve me.
"The trotible became so severe I
had to leave my work for days at a
time

could not sleep and the doctor said 1

ton. I saw an adv. concerning Grape

It's ROTTEN STILL.

In the fight that is now on 1t is we'll

standing.
Mr.. Gordon evidently thinks my

In this he Is mistaken. Facts are new
or rotten. They often reveal rotten
ness. The rot was not in MIR. Cor
don's facts but In misuse OF the facts.
1t 1s fact that if we vote out the
saloon We are almost certain to have
blind tigers. Mr. Gordon advises the
city to keep the saloons for fear we
get the blind tigers. This is the ad-
vice he gave US years ago. 1t is his
advice that 10 rotten. 1t was rotten
then and it smells worse now. Mr..
Gordon is a past master in the use
OF counterfeit logis.
In the famous Ancoln-Douglas de-
bates Lincoln fired this shot at Doug
las: Il protest against the counter
felt logic which concludes that be-
cause l do not want black woman
for my slave, must want her for my
wife. do not need to have her for
either
/ protest against the counterfeit
logic that concludes that Richmond
must have regulated saloons or blind
tigers. She does not need either.
She does not have to have them.
No one knows better than Mr.. Cor
don that if we are ever to be free
from the saloon evil we must also
fight and conquer the blind tiger evil.
He advises us not to begin the fight.
His advice is rotten. It is also
cowardly. He himself is no coward,
yet he advises our city to take a
cowardly course of action.
l have heard of a doctor whose
specially was to cure fits. Being
called to see a ,patient who was very
Ill, he, after a. very careful examin-
alton, said Il don't know what the
trouble is, but I'll tell you what I can
do. l can throw the patient into fits
and then 1 can cure the fits"
Mr.. Gordon says if you cure this
patient of the saloon disease you'll
throw her into blind tiger fits. Let
her alone; I say we'll throw her into
fits and then cure the fits.
Better endure the ills we have
than to fly to others we know not of, -
is ever cowardly advice. 1t is not by
such advice that victories are won
and cities made clean.

"Petties" Below Gowns.
Some way pantalets seem hardly to
fit in the scheme of modern life, nor
is there anything about them to ap-
peal to the average eye.
However, petticoats were never so
much in evidence, and they are pur-
posely worn hanging below the gown
in a way to make the uninitiated fear
for the firmness of fastening on the
outer skirt. And naturally when they
are intended to be Sc generally seen
they are elaborate enough to make
them worth while being exhibited.
They are Of the most delightful ma
terials and colors. Crepe de chine
and lace have the first choice. al
though the taffeta one with net or

There is also a silk jersey lace which
is entirely new and most attractive.
Next to the short skirt the cape is
the most pronounced garment Of the
year. Fashion makers say that il has
returned to stay for the season and
longer. and that next winter we shall
see a perfect rage of capes in various
materials and lengths.

the old order of things that she has

worse. far more detrimental and
