fur All of Sheriff
CoiinIiin.
Sheriff Cousins as a result of correspond
ence between him und the cxecutlvo olllce
lu Di's Moines has written Governor Shaw
that ho will not sign another petition for
thu parole of a prisoner. Recently Sheriff
CoUBtns attached his signature to six such
petitions which were acted favorably upon
by Governor Shaw. Kxcept In one In
stance Captain Cousins has been the vic
tim of misplaced confidence.
Two of the men for whom he was In
strumental In securing paroles have bceu
taken back to the penitentiary, three have
skipped tho country and one Is at pres
ent living up to the provisions of tho
parole.
Tho latest to skip his parole was Charles
Wilson, who was sentenced to the peniten
tiary for forging n Milwaukee railroad pay
check Wilson, who Is a veteran of tho
civil war, hpd n splendid record, having
Bcrved with distinction on the Monitor un
der Commander Erlckson. His record as
an old soldier appealed to Captain Cousins
and ho was active In securing the man's
parole. As Boon ns paroled, Governor
Shaw, granting It on the special application
of Sheriff Cousins, Wilson, Instead of re
porting to Captain Cousins ns required,
repaid his kindness by skipping Into tho
country. As Sheriff Cousins had made
himself personally responsible to the gov
ernor for Wilson, be Is much put out by
tho treatment given him by Wilson nnd ho
wrote yesterday to Governor Shaw stating
that he never would sign another petition
for the parole of a prisoner.

llnrrett Vlsltn (.'(inner,
Thcro has been much speculation ns to
tho purpose of John Barrott, ex-minister
to Slam, in paying n visit to E. II. Conger,
United States minister to China, hero at
this time, Ho nrrlvcd last night and spent
tho day with Major Conger. Mr. Barrett
In nn Interview declared that he had no
Intention of being a candidate for tho po
sition of minister to China against Major
Conger. Ho said that when It was rumored
that Major Conger might bo tendered the
nomination for governor of Iowa, repre
sentatives of commercial bodies set on foot
a movement to have Barrett become min
ister to China. Tho movement was es
pecially strong on tho Pacltlo coast. Mr,
Barrott says that twenty senators and forty
members of the house Indorsed him for tho
nosltlon. besides a great many others of
influence, but It was all with tho under
standing that Major Conger might become
nomlnco for governor of Iowa and would
voluntarily resign his post In China. Ho
denies that he had any understanding with
Congressman Hull about tho matter. Ho
saw Hull In Sail Francisco when he wns
on bis way to tho Philippines and talked
about China.

lnvrn Solillein .Shoot Well.
Tho report of Colonel Thomas F. Cooke
of Algona, Inspector of amall arms practlco
on tho state shoot nt tho rifle range, wns
recolved by Adjutant Genoral Byera this
mm
HcEB
morning. The report Is highly compliment
ary of tho work at tho state shoot. Colonel
C'ooko states that the addition of the dis
appearing targets ami the additional day's
time with the company field practice en
abled the guardsmen to accomplish much
more than heretofore. Hood scores were
made, but few largo aggregates. Captain
Armstrong of Company K, Fifty-second
regiment, made the best Individual score,
4S at 200 yard, 44 al 300 yards, ,46 at $00
yards, or a total of 13S out of a possible 150,
Lieutenant Blnbrlght of Company C. Fifty
second regiment, made 132, and Captain
Whipple of Company O, Forty-ninth regi
ment, made 121. Tho skirmish firing was
some better than last year, the four best
runs being; Lieutenant Fee of Company D,
Fifty-first regiment, 66 points: Sergeant
Rclchmnn of Company K, Forty-ninth regi
ment, 47, Captain Armstrong of Company
K. Flfiy-sccond regiment, 44; Sergeant
Klesrl of Company K, Fiftieth regiment, 42
out of a possible 100 In each case. Tho high
est aggregate with revolver was lot, by
Captain Smith, Inspector of small arms
practice, with Captain Shaw of Company K,
Forty-ninth regiment, second, with 15S, and
Captain Haynes of Company E, Fiftieth
regiment, 150. The work on the disappear
ing targets was good, although this was the
first tllno they had ever been used In the
state.
There were forty-two In line for the com
pany field practice and several of them had
seen actual service In the. Philippines.
Scarcely any of the prone figures could bo
seen from the firing line. A total of 030
shots wcro llred and 112 took effect. Seven
teen of the forty-two figures wero not hit,
The colonel calls attention to the poor con
dition of the Springfield rifles In use, some
of th? companies reporting not over four
out of forty that could be depended on, A
comparison of the Springfield rides with tho
Krag-Jnrgensen magazine guns showed a
superiority of 12 per cent In favor of tho
latter. The colonel recommends that the
government supply better rifles. Tho aver
age made by the entire guard with the
Springfield rifles was S7.S nnd with thn
Krag-Jorgensons 45 per cent. The regiment
averages were as follows: Fifty-second
regiment, 52.2; Forty-ninth, 61.7; Fiftieth,
50.1; Fifty-first, 46.6 per cent.
