This One Will Come to Om Encournged, Omaha has an opportunity to enlarge her circle of manufacturing industries by the addition of a tobacco factory. The establishment known as the McNa- mara Tobacco company of Covington, Ky., is to be removed to some western city, and Mr. 8, A. Sherman & member of the com- pany, who is lookiug at various losations that have been considered, thinks that Omaba is the place for the factory and will recommend that this city be selected if the proper in- ducements are offered. Mr. Shermau states that his company makes only & plug tobacco at present, but proposes 1o make smoking tobacco after the removal to a new location, The compuny employs 225 men o its present plant, but would double that number if a factory is started in Omaba, He says the factories have to pay the freight on their manufactured goods to Omaba and western cities and that this 18 much more than the cost of bringing the raw waterlal o this eity would be. He has taliked with tho Omaba jobbers of tobacco and fluds them all ready ana willing to uid the enterprise by placing the goods on the market. Mr. Suerman’s company waots & bonus of $10,000 to locate in Omaba, that amount of money being necessary o cover the cost of moving tho macbinery to tbis eity. Mr. Sherman will soon make a proposition to the Board of Trade showing just what bls com- pany will do and what it will expect 1o re- tura, uAf Properly ——— Disease never muc«nlull‘y sitacks tho sy em with pure blood.

The Omaha Guards will be turned loose on the range Tuesday moroing and animate nature inhabiting the land on at least three sides of the range wiil bo in great peril during the fusilade, which will continue the greater part of the day. All arrangements have boen compicted by Colonel Benham to give the Omaha Guards a day of kuown distance and skirmish firing on tho government mfle range. Captain Coolidge, commanding officer of tho camp, will have full charge of the day’s shooting and the guurds will bo governed by the same rulos and rogulations as those under which the regular army marksmen are gov- erned, In aaso the day 1s pleasant it is alto- gother probable that' a large number of Omaha people will visit the range on Tuesday to see the guards shoot. Thokunown distance firing will take place in tho forenoon and the skirmish firing in the afternoon, Spgaiing of the remarkable record made by Corporal R. N. Davidson of tue Sixteenth intantry Colonel Bonbam said: 1 don’t believe I iave over socn o marks- man who can cowe as near shooting whero ho wants to as Corporal Davidson. ~He puts thought into his work. 1 noticed’ that he usually fired but one shot at the longast range and as he approached the silbouettes and par.cularly when ho_reached the last halting about 200 yards trom the targ ho fired wiih remark- able’ rapidity. Once or twice 1 saw him fivo threo shots at log range and I ashed him why ho did_that instead of only firing once ns usual, He replied that heaid not see where his first shot struck the bank boyond the silhouetto and ho fired a second and third time to find out how ho was aim- ing. Inthis way he keeps a close watch over his nerves and then when he gets at close range he pours the shot 1nto the target in_u mannor resembling a_gattling gua.” 1n conversation with a B reporter Cor- poral Davidson said tho othor day that he usually fired thirty-two shots out of tho forty at the recumbent figure because a hit on that figure counted five, wherens a hit on tho kneeling tigure counted 4 and on tho stand- ing figuro only 8. Davidson hit the recum- pont figure 25 times out of 33 shots in throe successive runs. Ho has u veculiar way of bolding the gun which has given him tha nick-name “Gunsling" Davidson. Mostof the marksmen throw themselves on their backs with thewr feet toward the target 1n n supine position, throwing oue foot through the strap or gun show letting it come ticht around the leg just below the knee. The batt of the gun is placed by tho side of the hoad, the left hand passing under and above the head grasping the gun firmly to hold it steady. Tho trigger 1s usually pulled by the thumb of the right hand. T'his 13 calied the *Texas Grip." rporal Davidson takos the same vosition on the ground, but he crosses bis legs and throws them both through the gun sling, lot- ting the rifle rest botwecen his knees like a stick of wood in a sawbuck. He is remark- ably quick of movement and 18 usually tho first man to shoot after making n halt at short range. He is a wiry, rawboned man of medium height with eves like an eagle's. To his good eyesight, steady nerve, dexterity of ont and natural genius for shooting is due his supremacy as a marksman, The Cavalry Competition, The annual cavalry competition for the Department of the East, the Platte and Cal- ifornin, will opon at Bellevue August 11.

They waut to expend the money this acason, but Just now the question secms 10 be what roads should be improved ana what material should be used. ‘Thera are four roads that are prominent candidates for a share of the money, nese thoroughfares are South Thirtcenth stroet to the new fort at Bellevue; Dodge street, from the city limits west; Military avenue aund souie road leading to tho vorth. Whetker to divide the woney be- tween the four roads, or expend it all upon oue s sometbing that the commissioners nave not fully considered at this time. Itis pretty woll seftiod that the rondaway willnot exceed sixteen foer in width, with & [;onlbmly tuat it may be reduced to twelve eot. ‘Pue most serious question, however, that confronts the comuissioners is whut material will be used. All of tho commissioners ad- mit that brick is the material, but it is ex pensive and a sixteen foot roadway will cost from $20,000 to $30.000 per mile. At these prices, 1f the $150,000 was all expended upon one road, it would make only ® small showing. Tois fact has led the commis- sloners 10 conlemplute s cheaper material, It the brick could be obtained in the vicinity of Omaha and did not cost more than to §7 por 1,000 delivored on the work, they would all bo in favor of brick, but as they are not and will haye to come from poiats a8 far away as Linooln or Beatrice, they think the freight will Amouat to as much as the original cost of the brick. In the soarch for oheap material thoy have hit upon slag, whioh can be secared at the smelter, where it wiil cost nothing excopt the of the crushing. The quantity 18 unlimited aud the material Is a composition of iron, limestone and refuse. Upon the question of slag, Wiliiam Mulhall has rendered the commissioners some valuable assistance. For somo time he has mado A study of country roads, and now figures that # roadway twelve feet wide can ve laid with smeltor slag for not tooxceed $3,000 por miley His iden is to grade out the bed and put in two fo four inches of the coarse crushings, roll this thoroughly and then put on frow two to four inches more of the finer crush. ings. The crown should be higher than the sides, and after the whole is thoroughly tamped aud rolled, It will make a roadved that will shed water, and as far as wear is concerned will be equal to a granite pave- ment, so says Mr. Mulhall, it WANTED AN INQUEST. Deteotive Vaughn Makes an Eloventh Mouy Request of the Co v In Tne Bem yesterday was printed the stury of the eventful and sorrow: ful life of Mrs. Crosby, nee Emina Gurtler, who died at a fortune teller's houso on South Fifteenth street Friday morning of peritos nitis. It was supposed that after the poor pirl’s death and the arrangements for the funeral hud been made the mutter would end there. But it did not. Bright and oearly yesterday morning Dotective Vaughn appeared at the morgue and demanded of Coroner Maul that an in- quest and post mortem be beld upon the body of the girl. Mr. Maul looked at the sieuth & moment and asked what relution he was to the dead givl and explained at the same tima that ooly near relatives or parents could pro- perly demand what hud been asked for, Then the ‘detective threw open the Japel of his summer coat and exhibited a motropolitan police star, and repeated his demand for an inquest or'post mortem. ‘I'ho coroner tried to tell the detective that threo reputable physicians besides himself had thoroughly investigatod the watter and allwero satisied that the woman died & nutural death and from the cuuse given in the physician’s certificate. Consequoutly the coroner declined to put the county to the ex- penso of an inquest and post moriem. tili Vaughn hung around the morgue where the friends of the poot girl were pre- paring for her funeral at 2 o'clock, and tried to instill into their minds the theory of foul play. This kind of talk didn’'t have much effoct, however, and finally the sleuth left and went up toconsult with County Attorney Mahoney to see If there wasu’t soms way to compel the coroner to grant his request.

They would make it possible for the farmer to take advantage promptly of the highest market, no matter at what season of the year. They would suve him daysand weeks of time which he wastes every year wal- lowing through the disgusting mire of the roads. They would reduce to a minimum the wear ind tear on wugons and carringes. They would lessen the expense in keep- ing horses in working order, and vastly less norses would be required to perform the [armer’s work. They wouald require less expense to keep them in repair than do the dirt souds. They would make it easicr for a team to puli several tons over their smooth surfuce thun to drag a wagon through the mud, They would afford tion with the outside of the year. They would spare the farmer vexutions und pervous strains, They would practically shorten the distance to the local markets, They would increase the demand for country und surburban property. They would be free from dirtin sum- mer, and mud and ruts in fall, winter and spring. They would bring every farming com- munity into closer social relations. They would make an evening irive a pleasure instead of a vexation, us it now is. They would do away with the absurd poll-tax and supervisor system in pluces where it is still in use, They would be, in short, the best pos- sible {n\'entmnnb to the taxpayor is built and cared for by the national gov- ernment and paid for by a national tax All these t{xuy would do, unless ex- periance goes for naught. “Tn five years time,” says Edgar La Wakeman, ‘I have tramped along 8,000 miles of British roads. Iach time 1'step my foot upon their broad, firm, even surface, every drop of American blood in me tingles with shame at the thought of the mud pikes and bottoi less road sloughs of our own splendid country—rich, great and strong enough to match the roude of Kurope without a weelk’s delay. And yetfor five months of every year, and in a lesser degree for the other seven, nulf of the people of our farming communities are imprisoned and improverished bhelplessly athome. As one result, the people of the whole country pay, in an indirect roud-tax through nonual sharp udvances on all food necessities of life, all of which the farmers lose, & sum each year enormous enctgh to muintain as superb roads as Englind anywhere possesses, around every section of cultivable land in the Urdted States.” e A Chicago Incldont.
