DR. ROBINSON WON GUN CLUB MEDAL

Remington Dentist Tied With 0. H. Peck and Won in Shoot, Off at Match Held Tuesday. The most successful meeting the Rensselaer Gun Club ever held was that of Tuesday, when seventeen competitors engaged in a match. The most interesting of the events was the match for the old Iroquois Club medal, Which John M. King won for several years and which the Rensselaer Gun Club purchased of him two years ago. Joe Parks, of Brook, won ft at that time and has held it since. This match was a twenty-five rock event and the scores of the leaders follow: Dr. Robinson, Remington 22 C. H. Peck, Remington 22 Everett Brown, Rensselaer 21 L. M. Co?ay, Bro6k '.... .20 J. Corey, Brook ..20 In the shoot off Dr. Robinson won, Mr. Peck, Who had held the medal one year some time ago. proving his sportsmanship by shooting below his form. The handicap match of 150 rocks, shot in stages of 25 each, was won by Eyeret Brown, who broke 139. The higher scores follow: Brown 139, C. H, Peck 135, Joe Peck 131, J. Corey and C. E. Eger each 122, L. M.-Corey 118. J. Graham, of the E. C. Powder Co., and W. D. Standard, of the Dupont Powder Co., were both on hand and shot in the handicap match. Graham broke 135 and Standard 134. Graham represented the United States in the Olympic matches last year and is regarded one of the best blue rock shots in the world The handicaps in the match were from 16 to 20 yards, Brown, Peck and Parks shooting from scratch. It is probable that another match will t>e held this fall, possibly more than one, although the present plans provide for only one, a turkey match before Thanksgiving. C. H. Peck had the only perfect score during the shoot. In the third set of the handicap he broke all twenty-five. Brown broke 24 out of 25 in the first set.

Considerable Inconvenience In New Telephone Directories.

Telephone patrons are caused considerable inconvenience by the new directories, which do not contain the names of the Bruner patrons. Many subscribers are not supplied with the Brupcr cards and when some country dine is wanted the patron is referred by “central” to “information” and from there back to ‘‘central” and then the line is found busy and if you want another country line you can go through the program again. t All of the names should be in one book or preferably oh one card, which is vastly more convenient as it can be handled with one 'hand. If the book system is to be used it should be indexed, and new books should be published to replace the very unhandy ones recently distributed.

Enormous Siege Guns and Huge Zeppelin Fleet to Face English

-x Amsterdam, Oct. 13.—(Correspondence of the Associated Press)—Reports are current in Berlin that the Krupps have completed some enormously heavy guns of a calibre and range never before attempted and that a large fleet of Zeppelins, according to some reports numbering 80 or more, is being collected near Kiel, awaiting a favorable opportunity to sail for England, according to the statements of a British newspaperman Who has just returned from Berlin, to Amsterdam. Artillery officers assured this correspondent that the new Krupp guns have a rapge of 25 miles, and probably are destined for use at some channel port in event the Germans secure a foothold there. He also says that the aeroplane factories in Germany are working day and night supplying machines and that 200 aviators are qualifying for military service each week. “The English aretaore hated than either the French or Russians,” he said. ‘The German Would rather capture one Englishman than twenty of the others. In Germany, England is blamed for it, rightly or wrongly. She is accused of being at the bottom of this war. Neither officers nor men of the German army seem to have much regard for the English army as a fighting machine, biit they freely admire the pluck of the British officers and the rapid range-finding abilities of British artillery. . “Judging from what I saw in Berlin, that city holds at this moment another five or six army corps of able-bodied young mien attached Cither to ,the first or second reserve or to the landsturm.

I portionately may be said of all the other German cities. Everywhere I was struck by the boundless enthusiasm for war. It is true that all the news is subjected bo a severe censorship, and therefore the people do not know other than that they are winning all along the line Sortie more sober minds in Germany admit that they will get hard knocks sonje time and somewhere, but they have no doubt Germany will win. The prevalent opinion is that in view of the amount of German blood spilled in Belgium that country inevitably will cease to exist except as a part of the German empire. Holland 'is' regarded as a negligible quantity and it is taken for granted that the low countries.will, of their own accord, become one of the German bundestaaten. “While it is true that there have been many commercial failures, in spite of this fact 'business is going on as usual, and In Berlin there are no unemployed crowding the streets. Food is cheap and plentiful and it is asserted that there is a sufficient stock on hand for at least three years. So far as I can judge, Germany Is far from being V>n the knee,’ and we will need every available man to down an enemy who is so determined and whose enthusiasm borders on fanaticism.” An American resident of Berlin Sho also has just arrived in Amerdam, says it is impossible for the people in Germany to estimate the total German casualties. The lists published in Berlin give the losses of the Prussian army only, while the losses of the Bavarians, the Saxons and the Wuertemburgers are published only in those kingdoms.

Holland Young Lady Learns Of War Conditions In Old Home.

Miss Susie Kanstra, a young lady from Holland, who has been in the United States for about a ye&r and a halx, recently received a letter from her sister at her old home and it told of the terrible conditions brought on by the war. She lived in a small town, about half the size of Rensselaer, and her sister told her that at the time the letter was written there were about 60 Belgian refugees and 110 English refugees there seeking safety from the war hqrrors. She also related how a Holland vessel had gathered up a lot of English sailors after a German submarine had sunk a British cruiser."" Since the letter was written Antwerp has fallen and the coast of England has been threatened and thousands upon thousands of Belgians have left for Holland. A dispatch to the Sunday papers said that the streets of many of the Holland cities were so crowded that one could scarcely pass through them. Many of the refugees are wealthy, while the wealth of many was represented by property holdings In Antwerp, which they abandoned in their haste to get away during the siege.

THEY ALL DEMAND IT

Rensselaer, Like Every City and Town in the Union, Receives It. _ 0 People with kidney ills want to be cured. When one suffers the tortures of an aching back, relief is eagerly sought for. There are many remedies today that relieve, hut not permanently. Doan’s Kidney Pills have brought lasting results to thousands. Here is proof of merit from this vicinity. Mrs. Mary E. Warshef, 8.- James St., Goodland, Ind., says: “I was taken with an acute attack of kidney trouble and distressing pains across the small of my back. I had but little ambition, and the least exertion tired me. I was nervous and in the morning when I first got up, I felt no more rested than when I went to bed, The statements I read about Doan’s Kidney Pills so convinced me that I finally began using them. I never took another medicine that gave such prompt relief. Two boxes completely cured the attack and I had no further trouble for some time. Then I at once used Doan’s Kidney Pills and they again brought relief.” Price 50c, at all dealers.

Douglas, Ariz, Oct. 13.—Mexican fire from the Villa faction besieging Agua Prieta, Sonora, and its Car-, ranza garrison erbssed the international line again today. One trooper of the U. S. border patrol received a shot through the hat last sight and the rain of bullets caused the inhabitants on the border side here to seek safety in the northern section of the city. A statement of conditions here was telegraphed to Governor Hunt at Phoenix by Captain C. S. Booher, of the Arizona national guard. Governor Hunt made another appeal to the government at Washington for more vigorous action by the federal border patrol.
