outte 4 number Of people beasvs
that cartridges are served out to the
soldiers separated from one another.
Cartridges are, however, usually given
out fastened together In clips OF nve.
The modern rifle used by the British
army Is known as magazine rlne
and holds two clips or ten cartridges In
the magazine itself as well as an ex-
ira cartridge above the magazine, elev-
en- rounds in all.
When the cartridge clip is forced into
the magazine the fastening Is removed,
30 that each cartridge when 1t reaches
the magazine is separate from the 9TH
ers.
The magazine Of the army rife Is
nothing more than a detachable box
containing q spring. This spring
forces up one cartridge at a time into
its position ready for firing. As a rule
the ten cartridges in the magazine are
only used in great emergency, as when
the order for rapid firing Is given to
stop an enemy's charge. In the ordi-
nary way the magazine, with Its ten
cartridges, is shut of from the rest OF
the rifle by means Of metal slide call

IMPROVEMENT IN
HORSE MARKETS
DEMAND FOR FARMER ANIMALS
IS VERY HIGH; BUYERS SELL.
ING OLD STOCK.

The demand for farm horses haa
shown big improvement in the past
week, according to the weekly letter
Of Morris Williams, the local horse
dealer. Army horses, both for the
artillery and cavalry, are still in de-
mand and the farmers are selling their
older horses to the war agents and re-
placing them with younger stock. Fol
lowing Is the letter:
Conditions in the horse market
showed little improvement the past
week, especially the call for farm
mares and useful work horses of the
machine variety. Farmers who have
sold of their older horses at good
figures to go to the European conflict
are replacing with young horses and
mares preparatory to putting out an
unusually large crop acreage and ev'
cry week Of delay now due to unsea'
sonable weather will cause greater
demand for farm animals because the
rush will all come at once and will
require more horses than had the
spring opened earlier, thus giving 2
longer period for preparing the
ground. j.
The war demand continues strong
and all owners having horses of the
required age of to 10 years will do
well to sell them at the good prices
offered and replace them with young.
er stock Both artillery and cavalry
horses are being taken

SEPTEMBER WEDDING
is JUST FOUND OUT

Ira Grove, March 29.-Through the,
admission Of the bride, it has become
known il Ida Grove the last few days
that Howard Smith, brother OF r.
B. Smith the we'll known transfer
man, was married the fourth day of
last September to Miss Hattie Get.

of this city.
Both are well known young PEG.
pie OF Ida Grove and their many
friends are more than suryrised that
they were able to guard the secret SO
long and successfully. The marriage
became known only in connections
with the preparations being made by
Mrs. Smith to move to Ohio. where
she and her husband will soon 20 to
housekeeping. Mrs. Smith has lived
in Ida Grove nearly all her life, while.
her husband has claimed Ida Grove
for his home for the last ten years.
At present he is travelling for firm
in Salem, Ohio. and they will make
their home in that city
Mrs. Smith left Ida Grove late last
August on the pretext that she was
going to visit at Usage. but instead
the town of Franklin, Pa, was her
destination, where she met Mr. Smith
and their marriage occurred. The pos
sbility of parental interference iss
thought to have prompted them to-
keep their marriage concealed until
their plans for going to housekeeping
were perfected. mn

FIRE IN CREsT0N
PICTURE TAEATER.
STEEL LINED ROOM OF OPERA.
TOR PREVENTS SPREAD OF
FLAMES.

Creston. March pa fire which
lasted about fifteen minutes and did
damage to the extent of about $4,000
took place at the Temple Grand thea
ter at 1885 o'clock Saturday evening
when the $4,000 fllm "Cabira" which
Was being shown caught fire and was
completely destroyed. In addition to
the picture the machine was damaged
to be worthless. A small damage was
done to the ceiling above the machine
booth and few chairs were broken,
but there was scarcely any indications
Of a panic.
At the time of the fire, Lawrence
Perry, operator, was the only one in
the machine booth and as soon as he
saw the danger he ran out of the booth
locking the door behind him. If 1t had
not been for his timely thinking to
shut the door the theater would have
probably been damaged to the extent
of large sum. AS 1t was, by shut
ting the door of the booth the fire
could escape only enough so that it
would not allow an explosion in the
BOOTH
One thousand people were seated in
the theater at the time of the fire and
by the aid Of the manager and the
ushers a panic was prevented. The
entire number Of people were out Of
the theater in less than two mintes.
All exits, about ten, were opened and
there was little chance for anyone be-
ing injured.
Manager Kelly stated he had been in
theaters at the time of fires but that
he had never seen more intelligent
audience than was present Saturday
night.
The ease with which the audience
left the theater shows the value o. the
number of exits with which the thea
ter Is provided.
Lawrence Perry very fortunately
escaped without being burned but he
lost suit of clothing and his watch
was badly scroched.
It will be necessary to close the
theater for few days.
The special man in charge of the
films, was in the booth, operating the
machine. Against the wishes Of Mr..
Kelly he had insisted upon keeping
the big box containing the films inside
the booth, instead of just outside as is
Mr.. Kelley's custom. The result was
that when the heat ignited the films
the operator had just time to close
the apertures of the steel booth and
escape, leaving the interior to the
flames, hence the destruction of the
