Cycling is the morning' star in the constellation of sport and pastime. So far aa the cycle trade is concerned "The world is all a fleeting. Most of those who Vtftaeh against the bicycle rely mor Wttnd inewror disnute in ejdlnr way. taken by the other Tn bicycle, political ques is all 'the better lor being strad dled. The voice of the 'cloctbr is seldom heard in the house where the wheel abideth.

Too many League officials are like balls of twine they are wrapped up, ia themselves. In these days the world looks 'upon the wheel as the best means of 'taking Heeded exercise. That cycler is blind who cannot see the gulf between high and "low grade cycles and sundries. The beauty of the Straight and narrow path is thit it 'is not too over crowded for bicycles. Wheeling might "belaid to be out of "Bight, but the wheel certainly is not; in fact, itisatnetly'in it.

If all cyclers suffered themselves to be guided by reason well, we will finish the sentence at the dawn of the millennium. is no compliment 'to inventors to say that the motocycle is here to stay. The only way to prove its utility ia to 'make it more 'Net results of cycling's popularity to 'date: Promotion to health, reduction of intemperance and diffusion of money into new. channels.

Don't be afraid that the carrying of a. tool baar will cause you' to be taken for a novice. Times have changed. The scorcher still sets the pace, but not the fashion. Scorching simply means that the interesting and innocent party who for all these weary years has carried a deadly gun and didn't know it was loaded has exchanged it for a wheel.

There's a time to ride and a time to sit in the shade. You don't have to ride all the while just because you possess a wheel, any more than you hare to stay in the water all summer because you own a bathing suit. The women riders of the east have affected a pretty combination for the warm days. The hot and cumbersome leather and canvas legging are not worn so generally as they were earlier in the year. The skirts have been lengthened slightly, and ordinary stockings are worn.

These look neat and comfortable. The women are also wearing a fetching shirt waist in pleasant colors with very wide sleeves. The effect is pretty. As they skim by with these Hays sleeves nattering in the wind they look not unlike gigantic butterflies When weighing the bicycle in the balance of public opinion, the fact should not be forgotten that it has achiered a result which the combined forces of physicians, athleteaand dress reformers had hitherto proved powerless to. accomplish that is, the aboli tion of tight lacing.

It was found that freedom ol movement was essential to fair riders awheel and that tight cor sets were unfavorable to that result, so the fashion makers have decided that the feminine waist must be increased three or four inches, and the wasp form is no longer to be the standard of female beauty and loveliness. If the achievement does not turn sentiment in favor of the wheel there is no longer hope of reward for true merit. vMMMaMasavaaMMM The letter Lit.

Saturday's attendance at the Warren air. was not quite as large as on Friday. Many exhibitors began removing their goods in the morning, especially those who had some distance to go to their nex fair. Sheriff Lever ton closed up one or two concerns early in the morning and made them get off the ground. There were quite a num ber of others that should have been run in or better still never have been permitted to have entered the grounds, The fair association through a false idea of economy have cut the racing purs 8 to such a low amount that all the horsemen positively say they will not come back again unless they are raised.

Taken all in all the Warren fair was the poorest ever held on those grounds. One interesting feature of Saturday's races was an exhibition mile driven by Mra C. C. Howard, of Fairmount. She proved herself quite a driver and drove Mac a dun pacer, the mile in 2:30 flat.

She was roundly applauded from the grand stand. This event took place before the races and the summar of Saturday's races is as follows: TBI TOR ALL TROT. Parte $200t Rois.B.8.: 3 1 12 Thslberg, B. M. 1 8 8 1 2 albert.

These two metals, gold and silver, have traveled side by side from the beginning of time. The records of human history do not go back to a time when they did not move together. They have varied in value, sometimes 0116 and sometimes the other being higher, but they have gone on together, gold the money of the rich, silver the money of the poor, the one to measure acquired wealth, the other to measure the daily necessities of Hie. And sir, no act of parliament, though it may disturb for a moment the relations of the two metals, can destroy the use of both of them by mankind." John Sherman's Volume of Speeches, page 530; PRUSSIC ACID Suddenly Ends a Man's Life at Warren During the Fair. FRANK RICE THE VICTIM.

And, aa la CSuaUy the Case, Tkere Was a Woman tbe Cause of It. Quite a commotion was caused on the Warren fair grounds last Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock, by the announcement thai a man bad poisoned himself on the Warren fair grounds. Frank Bice, a 'young man, probably 25 or 28 years old and an oil well drill er and tool dresser who has been at work about four miles from Montpe lier, came to Warren last Wednesday to attend the fair. On the above day in the afternoon he hailed Dr. Chas Good as he was driving away from the fair ground gate and asked the priri lege of riding down town.

He was no sooner in the buggy than the doctor saw that he was quite drunk, but Bice began talking by asking Mr. Good if he waa a business man, saying he had had trouble with a girl and feared he would hare more trouble and wanted to consult a lawyer. Mr. Good, upon arriving down town told Bice that he was too drunk to get out there in town and the best thing he could do would be to get right into a bus and go back to the grounds, which he did. He waa seen about town on the following days and the woman whom he had reference to, was also in attendance at the fair.

On Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock or a little before that time Bice got into a contro troversy with the woman, whose name is Dollie Howard, an inmate of a house of ill fame, of Montpelier, and he struck her quite a severe blow. She immediately swore out a warrant for his arrest and Constable John T. Morris and deputy, Jake Cherry, placed Bice under arrest and started for town with him. When just one square from the fair ground gate he pulled a small phial from his pocket and quickly drank the contents. He waa walking between the officers at the time and walked that way jost one square from where he drank the contents of the bottle and suddenly dropped to the ground.

He was then in front of the residence of Li. Ia. Simons and tb officers immediately removed him to the veranda and laid him on it, and inside of thirty minutes from the time he dropped he was a corpse. Dr. Chas.

Good and one or two other doctors examined him and said he drank Prosaic Acid, a deadly poison, nsed to clean boil era and for other purposes in the oil field. He was removed to Brown's undertaking establishment and the body prepared for burial. Several thousand persons viewed the body, but as he had come here from the east only about six months ago, no one seemed to recognize him. He had no money on his person and no papers by which he might be identified, but the woman, Dollie Howard, Dr. Good and two or three others, said that his name was Frank Bice.

In person he was almost six feet tall, would weigh probably 160 pounds, dark com plectioned, black hair, dark' eyes, smooth and rather a slender face. In conversation with Dollia Howard, she said she had known Frank Bice for four or five months and had been with him quite of ten. He seemed to be of a very jealous nature. She said he had struck her a severe blow and she had had him arrested and. beyond that she hadn't much to say and didn't seem to care but very little because he wss dead.

She lost no time in getting out of town after the occurrence. The remains of the late Frank were prepared for burial and were viewed by a vast crowd of people, but no one claimed the remains and on Sunday evening at about 4:30 o'clock they were buried in the Mitchell cemetery south of town at the expense of the county. In connection with the above it may be weil tossy that there are a thousand and cue Tumors sHast tr.inisj the above case. The girl was not beaten or cut with knife and was only struck once or twice. The coroner was notified but, as the whole occurrence happened under surveillance of officers of the law, he did not think it necessary to go.

JUDGE O'ROURKE Speaks to a Vast Crowd in tha Circuit Court Boom. DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES Expounded In a Clear and Forcible Man ner The FhoBognph a Sac Jndge O'Bourke, of Ft. Wayne, had the pleasure of addressing as attentive and appreciative an audience in tha courtroom Monday evening, as waa ever assembled there. The court room was filled to overflowing and it is no exaggeration to say that had the court room been twice as large it would have been filled to its fullest capacity. Tha aisle, library and hall way were jammed.

Many who came were obliged to leave on account of not being able to get within hearing distance of the speaker. xne speaaer was a man ox nne ao dress and his general appearance commanded the attention of his audience. Judge O'Bourke is not what you would term a fluent orator, but he is a great logician, and by his illustrations he made very plain, many vexing questions that here to fore were somewhat hard to comprehend. There were no flourishes to his speech; it was nice and easy, but very convincing. The speech waa so full of good things that it would be impossible to give all that was said, ss udge O'Bourke spoke for two hours or more and touched on all the important points of the money question and showed where all tha leading republicans had been in favor of the coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 with which to pay off the debts of the government and for other purposes.

He cited such republicans as James Blaine, Foraker, Senator Matthews, McKinley and a host of others. He explained why they were against the remonetiztion of silver now, where before they were for it. The republican party to day is controlled by capitalists and trusts and is for a dear money to the detriment of the masses, and such shining lights as McKinley are but tools in the hands of their A. Hanna. The Judge told of when Senator Thurston and Bryan were in a debate and Thurston asked Bryan for a silver dollar with which he desired to make an illustration, Bryan reached down in his pocket and gave Thurston the dollar When it came Bryan's time to speak he asked Thurston to let him mill V.

a1m An He explained the 'fallacy of the ide a that other countries would bring their silver to this country to be coined at a ratio of 16 to 1 when they could get it coined in their own country at the ratio of 15 to 1. They would lose money in the coinage as well as the expres sage. He told of a farmer who went to a bank and was met by the president who said: 'Jacob, come back to my office, I want to talk to you." When they reached the office the banker said: "Jacob I am glad you are not in debt, as I know you have money in the bank. Now what yon want to vote for is sound money. Gold is the thing for you and I and every other man that has money laid away.

But Jacob said: A.rm mi 1 1 1 xnere is my bob nuuuu, ne nas u.Ht bought a farm and owes $1,500 on it." The banker coughed uneasily while Jacob went on and said: "My son John bought a farm too, and owes $1,000 on it, how would the gold standard be for them The banker answered truthfully by saying: "Well, silver would be the best thing for them as they would get more for their farm pro ducts. Jacob went home and consulted his wife and sons and the result was that Jacob, who had had a leaning towards the gold standard, came out strong for free silver, as he found if it would benefit his sons who were in debt by giving them better prices for their prod A. a A A. och, it wouxa oeneni nun wno was noi in debt. 'rne Bpeaa er saia this talk that men who were holding mortgages on farms would dose them in case we get free silver, is all nonesense.

What would the capitalists and moneyed men want with farms? Raise corn at fifteen cents a bushel? No! They would sooner have fifty cent dollars. After Judge O'Bourke's address, 8quire Evils! zer reproduced Bryan's great Chicago speech by phonograph, mueh to the delhrht of the large audi ence. Judge O'Bourke's speech was given under the auspicies of the Bryan club. ana on xnursaay evening at me xtryam meeting the phonograph will be introduced for the benefit of those who will be present.
