around the stubborn darkey a ( mass of In

did not think he was a very bad man until
the attorneys for the government began to

Among the most profitable nnd pleasant

son wnsi the excurslono Inaugurated by some
of our enterprising railroad agents. Largo
ciowds were brought to our city , and people
visited Council Bluffs who had never heard
of our city before. This was certainly en
terprise , and a brilliant undertaking. And
now our merchants have awakened to the
advantages of such excursions. Among the
first to start the ball a rolling is Mr. Hughes ,
the rocclver for the Duncan shoo stock. It
Is expected that a crowd oft strangers from
the neighboring towns will visit our city
tomorrow , It being the occasion of special

When , In 1816 , the government bought a
small piece of land on the Delaware river ,
then about ten miles from the heart of Phil
adelphia , the shops there created answered
very well for n time , tuys Uie New York
Tribune , but the plant hns been added to until
now the grounds cover sixty-five acres and
contain numerous buildings , including officers
quarters , barracks , factories , a proof house ,
a hospital , a photograph galUry and a labo
ratory , with other equipments of various
sorts.
Lieutenant Colonel Farley commands at
Frankford. Under his direction has been
conducted .the manufacture of the 30-callber
wnokeless powder cartridges for the modified
Krag-Jorgensen magazine rifle for tljo United
States army. This new rifle , which dis
places the 15-callber Springfield , IB called
the "United States magazine rifle. " Its de-
Elgn is not generally known , and It has
never been tested abroad. Its weight , eight
and a half pounds , carries five cartridges In
the magazine , and nan be relpaded wltli such
rapidity as to fire forty Umes a minute , with
a range of 4.000 yards.
The cartridge for this rifle Is a peculiar
one , and Its manufacture at Frankford Is
an extremely Interesting one. Several of the
progressive stages are Illustrated herewith.
In brief , a little disk of sheet metal Is cut
out by a plunging die one and one-eighth
Inches In diameter , and this disk is then
stamped Into the shape of a cup , and Is then
"drawn" by pressure In other stamping ma
chines , and headed up In others , until , after
going through fifteen different and beauti
ful machines , it comes out a finished shell.
Tlio sixteenth process Is to trim oft about a
quarter of an inch of the uneven end. The
shell Is then tinned , in order to prevent
galvanic action between the powder ant !
naked brass. The primers are inserted and
hermetically sealed with a drop of varnish ,
and the ehells are taken to the loading ma
chine. If this were an ordinary 45-callber
cartridge , an ordinary naked lead bullet ,
grooved and lubricated , would bo used ; but
the new cartridge of only 30-callber the In
creased velocity and sharper twist would
cause n lead bullet to "strip , " without ac
quiring the revolution necessary for direct
night. It has been necessary , therefore , to
give the bullet a Jacket of German silver ,
and this Is accomplished by eleven separate
mechanical processes.
When the shells , powder and bullet are
fed Into the loading machine , something
takes place so like the operations of human
Intelligence that when the czar of Russia
eaw n counterpart of this machine loading
shells In Russia he took off his hat to it. A
horizontal steel plate , looking like a buzz-
saw without any , teeth , slowly revolves In a
horizontal plane , and the operator stands
the brass shells , open end upward , on this
plate , like flies of Ilttlo brass soldiers , and
the never-ending procession makes Its way
slowly out of sight Into the depths of the
machine. Away up at the top of the ma
chine there Is a huge , flaring funnel , lookIng -
Ing like the smokestack of an old-fashloivad
wood-burning locomotive. This funnel Is full
of gunpowder , and Is open at the top , so
that If the powder explodes It will fly off
harmlessly. As each shell comes under the
funnel the shell receives Its charge of pow
der , and as It emerges a Ilttlo plunger , like
a human finger , goes down Into It to meas
ure the powder. If there be too much or too
Ilttlo , an alarm bell signifies the defect and
the cartridge- removed. Otherwise It
passes onward In the slow procession , re
ceives a bullet , which Is fastened In by
squeezing ( or crimping ) the neck of the
shell , and the now hermetically sealed cart
ridge Is In the shape represented In. . the
drawings. Every cartridge Is tested me
chanically to make sure that the head Is
neither too largo nor too small , and the
cartildgo Itself neither too heavy nor too
light.
Experiments made at the Frankford nr-
Bonol Indicate that the small bullet of this
now cartridge travels further , penetrates
deeper , has a flatter trajectory and Is lesa
deadly than the old-faohloncd 45-caIlbcr bul
let , to eay nothing of its weighing only 220
grains , against the 500-graln ball now In use ,
and Ity requiring only 37 graina of smokeless
powder aga'nst 70 In the
, soon-to-bo-obsoleto
black powder cartridge. Thus 175 of the now
cartridges Impose no moro burden than 100
of the old , and the Initial velocity IB 2,000
feet a second , compared with 1,300 feet In the
case of the 45-cnllbov.
Military reasons forbid a complete recital
of all the experiments carried on at Fra n ki
te nl nrosnal under Lieutenant Colonel Farley ,
but many of them are exceedingly Interesting
and have revealed many new Ideas to the
ofllcers of the army , and will form the basis
of much of the small practice of the Immedi
ate future.
There IB one word used with reference to
rifles , "trajectory , " which seems quite for
midable , to men unacquainted with weapons.
It iwtimls like "trigonometry , " and vaguely
suggcts mathematics and other things pro
found and abstruse. A bullet , llko a stone ,
when sent a long distance , bus to bo cent up
In the air at an angle.aml It curves gradually
downward again just enough to hit the ob
ject aimed at. The trajectory Is this curved
path of flight. When a Springfield rifle Is
tired at a man 1,000 yards away the bullet
has to rise In the air over forty-three feet
above the line of Eight ; otherwise. It will fall
short of the mark , and If there ehould be the
projecting branch of a tree. Just forty-three
feet between the soldier nnd his foe , the
branch , would receive the bullet and the
soldier cpcape , Both In the. army and out
In the woods whllo hunting It Is desirable to
know how high a bullet will rise when fired
at a mark 300 , COO , 1,000 or any number of
yards away. It was for the purpose of sup
plying the United States army with the
racllltlea for ascertaining trajectories that ,
by command of Secretary Lament , Lieuten
ant Colonel Farley created at Frnnkford
arsenal one of the latest additions to Ito
eclentlflo equipment. A private Inquiry addressed -
dressed to Secretary Lament by a resident
of Now York City who wished to ascertain
the trajectory of n Remington single-shot
rifle , forty sixty-five 330 , awoke the sec
retary to the- fact that the army should
have facilities for obtaining facts of this
sort , and , with prompt- public spirit , he
took the action stated.

Among these were Dowclt , Early , Drady

the speaker , It can be called up at any
time by a majority vote.
The railroad laws will not bo Impaired
by this general assembly. This statement
pet haps , may tend 10 allny the feverish
excitement that exists throughout the state
over this matter. Should the sections ol
the new code relating to common carriers
be taken up and passed , which Is now pos
sible , the lower house will Insist upon
substituting the existing statutes line by
line and section by section for the provi
sions of the revised code. It la doubtful
If a single recommendation changing the
piCEcnt law In 'ho most minute particular
will be accepted by the house. This deci
sion has not bean reached In any formal
caucus , but Is the result of some quiet con
ferences among leading anti-monopoly mem
bers like Finch , Spauldlng , Van Houtcn
and Illnmau.
The letter of the general solicitor of the
Chicago , MilwaukeeSt. . Paul railway ,
which was sent to many Iowa attorneys ,
asking them to wrlto members of the leg
islature and urge them to complete the
new code at this session , Is provoking no
small amount of comment , especially among
the anti-monopoly members.
The senate passed by 44 to 0 the substitute
bill governing building and loan associations
prepared by the joint commlttteo of the two
houses.
In the afternoon passion In the senate
frovoral bills were passed , among them the
following :

of the faculty of a medical college can ba

health.
By Funk Assessing a 2 per cent lax on all
Sros3 ; receipts of express companies collected

BILL TO SUPPRESS UNIONS.
In the house the Spauldlng bill to "pro
tect laborers In their right to work" was
taken up. The bill.'provides that any per-
ton or association of perrons who shall by
threat , intlmldatldh , pr any act of violence
Interfere In any manner with employes who
ara engaged In running any railroad train ,
or operating or wtfrlrihg any coal mine , or

deemed guilty of a felony punishable by Im-
prlscnment at hartf lalfor In the county jail
'
not lese than ono'jyeai ; or a fine not to ex
ceed $500 , at the discretion of the court.
Mr. Spauldlng said the purpose of the bill
was to prevent irresponsible persons from In
terfering with the irimnlng of trains. In his
own county many ) farmers were unable to
ship their grain bdcausb of a boycott against
the railroads. Un-
Mr. Dowell of JPolk thought this wo1) the

Mr. Temple was heartily In sympathy with
the evident purpose of the bill , yet by Its
very terms It was so far-reaching In Its efv
feet that It required the most careful atten
tion of the house , and on hlu motion the bill
was referred to the committee- judiciary.
The chapters and sections of the revised
code relating to attachment garnishment , ex
ecutions and supplementary proceedings were
under consideration. In the house. The bill
was read line by line , many amendments be
ing proposed and adopted mainly for the pur
pose of removing doubts , preventing double
construction and more clearly specifying the
duties of the clerk and sheriff In satisfying
judgments and making proper records. The
lection was finally passsd. The afternoon
session was mainly devoted to clearing the
calendar of bills rejected by the committees.
Tlio bills by Wood appropriating $ G,000 for
a silver eervlco for tha battleship Iowa and
the Weaver bill appropriating $25,000 to aid
In the TransmlsPlralpp ! and International ex
position at Omaha in 1898 will both likely
come before the house committee on ap
propriations at Its meeting next Monday.
Both bills have strong friends and will prb-

Anecdotes of America's great generals are
always good reading , and the- following new
story , Illustrative of ono of the best traits
In General Sherman's character , is no ex
ception to the rule. The narrator thereof
was Lieutenant David Du B. Galllard of the
corps of engineers , U. S. A. , who told how
the hero of the famous march to the sea
once paid a memorable visit to himself and
his chum while they were cadets at West
Point.
"You know , " said the lieutenant to a re
porter of the New York Herald , "that nil
the rooms occupied by cadets in the bar
racks have big open stone fireplaces , with
correspondingly largo chimneys1. In these
chimneys the 'boys , ' ever since the academy
was established , have been In the habit of
rigging up shelves as storehouses and places
of concealment for luxuries In the nature of
food and drink , which are forbidden by the
exceedingly strict military regulations im
posed upon us. This smuggled provender
wo were In the habit of devouring with great
gusto late at night , after final inspection
was over.
"Now , It so happened that my roommate
and myself occupied the quarters which had
once sheltered General Sherman when he
also wrestled with his conic sections and
military engineering at the'Point. . ' One
June afternoon. Just before examination
time , we were both surprised by a smart rap
at the door. I opened It. and In walked the
illustrious former occupant , with a party of
ladles and gentlemen , who were anxious to
see what a cadet's quarters looked like. Of
course my chum and myself saluted , and
blood at 'attention * all the time the old gen
eral was bustling about showing his friends
around.
"Tho veteran looked happy enough as he
pointed out the hard mattresrcs and iron
bedsteads which constitute the young West
Pointer's sleeping accommodations , .and Il
lustrated the manner In which we folded
up our trousers and slept on them to keep
them from becoming knee-sprung , closing
his explanation with a detailed account of
the cadets' method of sweeping out and
keeping their roams In order. AVe both
thought ho was through , but ho wasn't.
"Just as the party was about to leave
the room their experienced guide went up
to the flro place and said In an exasperatIngly -
Ingly cool way : 'When I was a cadet the
boys used to secrete all sorts of plunder
that was contraband of war In their clilm-
neyo. I wonder If they do It now. ' Then
tie took his cane and poked It up the chim
ney. Chummy nnd I looked nt oarli oilier
with anxious eyen and nearly had n fl1
"Tho eminent strategist's reconnaissance
WAD one of tlio mo.'t successful in his > M
rccr He knew Jurt where to lojk and li'J
cano Ml the mark nt almost liln first polo
The plos , cakes nnd bottles of prohibited
fluids fell on the hearth with a clatter nm
dull thud , breaking to pieces. By this tlm
Chummy nnd I were ready to faint. The
old general must have observed It , for he
turned to us with a hearty laugh and i
merry twinkle In his eye , saying : 'Yoi
needn't bo afraid , young gentlemen. It was
nil my fault. I shan't say anything aboti
It. '
"Wo were on tenterhooks for several dajs
fearing court martial nnd dismissal. Bu
our distinguished vlrllor religiously kep
his word , and wo heard nothing more of the
Incident. Sherman's bummers burned in ;
grandmother's house at Columbia , S. C. , '
concluded Lieutenant Onlllard , reflectively
"but I liked the dear old fellow all the
same. Ho was so genial and considerate
of others "

] I repeat next Tuesday before the Woman's
I
club of Omaha the senatorial session , whicl
has been creating so much talk In that city
sine ? It was held ten days ago. The scene la
that of the United States senate In 1910
Mrs. II. U. Travis presides. The first qius-
ton ! under consideration was "Should Men
Bo Granted Universal Suffrage ? " Mrs. Mc
Lennan , senator from Nebraska , and Miss
Gass , senator from Massachusetts , brought
down the house. The senator from Nebraska
resented the epithet of "smarty. " The sen-
ator from Massachusetts answered that the
term was not to bs mistaken for a compli
ment of the sjnalor's Inlelltctual atta nments.
Mrs. Unrtih , senator from Kansas , made quite
a lengthy address , discussing the relations
of the sexes , and closed with the remark
that women arc the heart and conscience ,
while the men arc the brawn and inusclo
of the nation. Mrs. Butler , senator from
Indiana , remarked , "Wo could fill our treas
ury by allowing men to vote and taxing them
on general principles. "
Some of the hits were exceedingly good
nnd were thoroughly appreciated by the
audience. Mrs. C. F. Stoutcnborough ,
formerly of Omaha , has been the president
of HID Woman's club since Its organization ,
over a year ago. The club , under her leader
ship , has advanced to a high order. There
are four departments literature , art , par
liamentary laws and music.

Sitting or standing
all day is the hard
est kind of work ; it
gives you no healthy
i well - balanced cx-
Icrcise ; part of the
( body is overworked
1 and the rc.st of it is
under-worked. The
' system grows slug
gish ; the appetite is poor , the stomach is out
of order ; the bowels arc constipated , you
have headaches and dizzy spells. It's im
possible for you to take as much out-of-door
exercise in the daylight as you need. Ths
best help you can have in the circumstances
Is a simple laxative medicine like Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They will , as
nearly as any medicine can , supply the
want of free exercise which is lacking in
nl in-door's work. The } ; cure dyspepsia ,
biliousness and constipation in a pleasant ,
gradual , natural way. There is no griping
or weakening1 effect with the "Pleasant
Pellets ; " they act surely but gently ; they
promote liver-action , and give tone and
sttcngth to the stomach and intestines to do
their own work. When you become re
gular the "Pellets"can be stopped. You
don't have to take them forever. The cure
is permanent.
) r. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are small
sugar-coated granules ; agreeable to take.
Children like them. If the druggist wants
to sell you some other pills that pay him
better , just think of what pays you. You
