Record, Next Thursday afternoon the first of a series of target shoots will take place on Fairmount, under the auspices of Company 2nd Regiment, K. N. G.

Lieutenant Henry Koeneke will have charge of the command in absence of Captain MInlck. About 18 men will go out at one time and the shoots will be 100 yards up to 400 each man taking part to fire at each range. Averages will be made up out of the various scores made, and those achieving a certain grade will be awarded a "marksmen's" prize medal. Of these acquiring this grade another shoot for higher score is arranged, and those averaging the required standing are then presented with the "Sharp Shooter's" badge, the highest grade. These awards are made by the state to bring up the standard of correct aim and markmanship and it Is high time.

Not often In this quiet beatific commonwealth is it found necessary to call Into action our pretty tintype soldier boys. But the few strike troubles that have brought them out have demonstrated that most of them couldn't hit a flock of baloons at a gun barrel's length. At the sham battle on our fair ground 3 years ago the whole of the 2nd Brigade blazed at each other inside the race track and on a excited brave shot off his ramrod Into the thick of the fight and it hit Tom Cartwright's Jersey bull over in the next pasture. Let the good work of practicing go on, so if we ever have to invade Missouri or Arkansas, some man in the Company can hope occasionally to hit the side of a barn in a hand to hand engagement. (This roast was written by an ex-member of tbe militia who got a discharge just before the Topeka war.

Ed.) The Blues Win.

I. Kinder had been out having a good Along some time in the weesma' hours they went lo the home of Mrs. Minnie Wells lo spend the night. Be ing hungry Rogers asked for something to eat. Mrs.

Wells said no and be was going to whip her. Otto Alabaugh, the 18 year old son of Mrs, Wells, couldn't stand to see his mother beaten, so he picked up a stick ofsfove wood, and threw it at Rogers. The billet struck Rogers in the face. knocking him down. Young Alabaugh theij had the police summoned.

Officer Steiart responded and took, both men aod the boy to the station. Rogers was givtjn medical He is still in jail kud suffers quite a little from the effelts of the blow in his Globe Sights. (From the Atchison Globe.) Don't take advantage of every oppor tunity to find fault. If you feel you must give advice became a lawyer or a doctor, and sell it. At this season of the year we always make a resolution to be braver in fac ing the cold weather next winter.

It Is all right to make a boy look you iu the eyes in order to see if he is tell ing the truth, but a better plan these swimming days is to look at his back. Thirteen sit down to an Atchison table three times a day, and the only one who shows any signs of bad luck 1b the hostess and mother, who does all the cooking. a ere isn't any picture in the world prettier than a lot of harvesters tit In a field on a hot summer day, you have to be standing off In the oool shade yourself to got. the proper effect. 1 of the stories told on an Atchi son man or lorty is tbat tnirty years ago he attended a party in Atchison and threw grape skins on the parlor carpet.

Though he was only ten years of age at the time his crime is still re membered. In order to harvest crash towels off the ends of a pair of linen pants at every washing they must be ironed up and down. By Ironing them around and around the pants stretch larger in circumference, and grow shorter. The Llneln Suit club will shortly issue a book on "Linen Pun Is and their Treatment" for the benefit of crash towel raisers. If a linen pair of pants will stretch sufficiently after washing to permit a crash towel being cut off each leg, a linen skirt should do still better.

There la consequently no excuse for women being poor; let them wear linen Bkirts, wash them frequently and sell the increase for crash towels. It is not difficult to be a model husband; all a man need do is to b6 satisfied with a glass of water and bread and butter for breakfast, eat his dinner down town, and be thankful for berries and bread and butter for supper. If be can manage to eat his Bupper down town also and save this much dish washing he is not far from a pedestal. BURGLARY. Mldnlght Marauders Break Into a Safe Saturday Night.

Saturday night sometime burglars broke Into the feed store of Gould Burton. The safe was not locked, and the thieves opened' it and by means of a cold chisel pried off the little iron door closing the cash drawer and a private drawer. About thirty dollars waB taken from the two drawers, $16.50 in checks, and probably $14 In sliver. After taking the cash the door of the safe was closed and locked. There is no clue to the guilty parties.

Dirty Work. It Is becoming a not infrequent oc-curanoe for some sneaking coward lo enter the parks and cut the swing ropes. Some times the rope is cut entirely in two. But sometimes it is only cut part way and then fixed so the cut will not be noticed until 'some one goes to swinging and the rope breaks with them. This is about as low as a man if any one that would do that could be called a man can get, and steps should be taken to land the person who des it behind tbe bars.

The C. C. C. Cleaning Preparation. A new and wonderful soap for all cleaning purposes and general household use.

20 cents a can at Carney s. Tries to Clean Up Officer Jeff Thompson and the Entire Police Force. But He Didn't. Jeff Took him by the Nape of the Neck and the Slack of the Pants and Threw Him In a Veil. And He Hasn't Doue Anything Since.

Topeka people are mostly good people but what few bad ones they have are mighty bad. A pair of the bad ones of the colored variety from Smoky Row, recently came here to see how things are done in a good, live town. They saw. They were hanging around a colored restaurant on North Main street drinking. In due course of time one of them got sleepy und went into some weeds near the street and went to sleep.

Officer Jeff Thompson found him there and tojd him tbat was not a good place to sleep and that he must move on. This made the gentleman from Topeka sorter mad and he forth with wanted to scrap. He drew a gun, but before he got a chance to use it, Officer Thompson took it away from him. The next thing that happened was a pretty little mix; tbe drunk said he wouldn't go to the station and Jeff BHid he would. The fellow resisted with all his might, but Jeff walked him about a block towards the station, and then some one out of the large crowd tbat had gathered, telephoned for the patrol wagon and the man was hauled in.

Officer Thompson was go ing to take him to the station without assistance. At the station the gay Topeka man refused to give his name and fought all the time he was being put in a cell Some of the other prisoners had left their coats in that cell, and one ot them went in with the officer to get The officer went out first and the Topeka bad man turned on the prison er and started to whip him. The way that man got out of that cell was caution. The bad man followed him out of the cell into the corridor, grabbed a chair and was going to clean out the jail. But he didn't.

Detective Bed ford Woods started for him. Then officer Thompson darted In, grabbed the man by the nape of tbe neck and the slaok of the pants and landed him in the cell. This morning he was sober enough to say his name was Walter Davis. Police Judge Hatton then fined Mr. Walter Davis of Topeka $15, and Davis is now pounding rock.

POLICE COURT GRIND. Wm. Scdmldt is an unlucky man. He had all kinds of trouble yesterday. He had a fight near the Midland round house In the afternoon and being drunk got whipped.

Then he was robbed of and ended up by getting arrested. He was fined $5 this morning. Frank Buchanan, the colored man that walked off a box car Saturday night has so far recovered from the fall as to leave the police station. Fis injuries are not as serious as was at first, thought. Chas.

Clark was arrested Saturday night by Officer Cairns for disturbing the peace. His case is set for 4 o'clock this afternoon. G. Volz was fined $5 In police court Saturdsyafternoon for doing scavenger work. He will appeal to the district court, AN OLD TIMER HERE.

dam Gilbert Tells a Reporter Many Inter esting Hlstorio Tales of tbe West. Mr. Sam A. Gilbert, one of Wichita's old pioneers; Is in the city today, and one with whom it is pleasant and In structive to converse. He was the first white child bora in the Mississippi Valley and has lived on the frontier ever since.

His grandparents were the first white couple to be married in the then territory of Iowa in 1832, near Fort Madison. Mr. Gilbert 'passed through Kansas City in 1857 when the only hotel was a little shack under the bluffs. Above the city was all one Immense cornfield. He was in many an Indian fight and the war broke out joined a California regiment and eaw hard Indian service in Utah and the Southwest.

On the Bear river In ope desperate battle the soldiers lost 16 and the redskins 306. He has known Wichita and Kansas from its earliest momenta and is wlthall a picturesque and entertaining 'character. Be is now located at Newkirk, O. but is a frequent visitor at Wichita' We recommend tbe Kansas Steam Laundry. 'Under the new management it Is doing tbe best work In the city Agents wanted.

Tell, your neighbors that they can get a good dally paper for only Street Railway Question Comes up For Discussion. MIKY OBJECT TO REMITTING TAX.

Many Do Not Want Action Now, But Favor Delay. HAVE NOT MADE UP THEIR MINDS. May Be a Good Thine But It Nee Mere Discussion. No Fear of the Council. The question of remitting the $13,000 back paving tax to the street railway company has been the principal topic of conversation for several days.

The tax payers are divided on the question. Some are in favor of remitting the tax If the company will put in the new system and make the needed improve ments. Some are opposed to remitting any tax for any purpose. Then there are those who are afraid that if the tax is remitted, nothing will be done by the company. The mutter is one of considerable Im portance and most of tue tax payers have not finally made up their minds.

It is said tbat before the matter was made public, a number of the heaviest taxpayers were asked about it and they favored remitting the $13,000 This is not known to be a fact, how ever, rne small tax payers tne 'common people" are the ones who are most opposed to the proposition. They say it has not been discussed enough, and that no action should be taken hurriedly. It is not true as has been tseen re ported that several meetings have been held to protest against the remitting of the tax. Neither is it true that a meeting was held Saturday night in Burton Gould's store to protest against it. Nor has it been decided to euioin the council from remitting that Its all talk and the matter may not even be mentioned at the council meet log tonight.
