Several of the old time crack shots
came into their own at the weekly shoot
,of the New Ulm Hunters Club at Hun
ters' Rest last Sunday morning, Bill
Pfeiffer landing the kings medal with
score of 1870 out of possible ESQ and
Jos. CHASER being presented with the
leather medal, having Hugo Windhorn,
Joseph Smasal and Otto j. Schneider as
strong competitors for the honor. Hugo
Gebser showed flash of form and made
1873 points Jos. Klaus showed the boys
that his winning the medal at the pre-
vious shoot was no accident and held into
the black for 167.
The members of the club are worrying
about Charley Hauenstein, who in former
years was the crack shot of the club.
~ This year he has started a private lead
mine on both sides of the target. Char
ley thinks that on account of the Euro
pean war the ammunition manufacturers
are trying out new kind of powder which
his rifle can't get used to. He AYERS he'll
never carry that leather medal again.

POPE BENEDICT HAS PLACED BAN
ON DANCING

Pope Benedict has caused the issuance
of an edict forbidding any society under
parochial jurisdiction from giving any
entertainment where there is dancing.
One of the chief sources of revenue has
been the holding of parties where dancing
was INDUCED in and these societies are
rather hard hit by the papal edict.
The papal decree is said to apply only
to the United States and Canada. 1t
upholds the edict of the third plenary
council of Baltimore in 1885 which had
almost no recognition by the church
societies.
The sacred consistorial congregation
at Rome promulgated the no-parish
dancing decree.
