Big Bicycle Records.
Springfield Republican.


The contest of 1886 for the gold CYCLIC
meter offered to the bicycle rider in the
United States covering the greatest number
closed Yesterday. There have been hum
dreds of bicyclists. covering almost
every state in the Union, riding for the
prize, but it looks as though the Westfeld
contestants will win, for their scores are
phenomenal. The gold cyclometer offered
under like conditions last year was carried
of by Bank Clerk Goodnow. captain of the
Westfield Wheelmen's club. with a record
of 5,056 miles. He had a score of outside,
but no home competitors. This season
three local riders entered. and their aggre-
gate scores foot up 81. 200. By the terms
of the contract the figures have to be certi-
fed to by two competent witnesses. and
affldavits made of their correctness before a
magistrate. Much to the other contestants
and the public's surprise, when the
lists were given in yesterday, Gill
bert J. LOOMS. high school lad,
of Is, had a record of Is, 49S miles. made on
a 52-inch Victor machine. He began rid
ing i'm the snow and slush last January. and
had nearly !, 200 miles to his credit before
the riding season fairly opened. His
longest ride in one day was 122 miles, made
during the summer vacation. and his aver
age per day for the eleven months includ-
ing Sundays, was forty miles, Telephone
Manager Norton covered 100 miles in a
single day, and grand total of 10, 706
miles on 4S-inch Star. But perhaps the
the most phenomenal work of the trio was
accomplished by Emerson Burt, bright
little newsboy under Is years of age. He
had an amateur 42-inch Ideal machine. and
on it he rode 10. OO2 miles outside of the
hours he is employed in Connor's news
room. Much of each riders work has been
done evenings. and all within the limits of
the county. 1t is probable that each rider
has beaten the best previous records. as
well as all outside contestants for the prize.
but this will not be determined until all
lists are in, which may not be for a month
or more

The report comes from Chicago that Dis
trict Assembly "a, E. of L., has appointed
q committee of five which Is now engaged
In investigating the stock yards strike. and
II is stated that the reason of the investiga-
lion is that District Assembly 81, composed
of the packing house employees, has caused
a secret boycott to be inaugurated against
those packers VINO were particularly hostile
during the strike. District Assembly "a
and then Seamen's Assembly 136 were asked
to support the boycott ard "a preferred an
investigation before taking such a step.
THE action of Mr. Powderly IN ordering the
strike off is not looked upon very pleasantly

Certain Evidences.

In the practice of skillful physician there
occur many cases like the case of catarrh
mentioned. In many cases the patients have
pains about the chest and sides, and some
times in the back. They feel dull and sleepy;
the mouth has bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort of sticky slime collects
about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There
is feeling like heavy load on the stomach,
sometimes faint, al-gone sensation at the
pit OF the stomach which food does not satisfy.
The eyes are sunken. the hands and feet be.
come cold and feel clammy. After while
cough sets in, at first dry, but after few
months 1t is attended with q greenish colored
expectoration. The patient feels tired all the
while, and sleep does not seem to afford any
rest. After a time he becomes nervous,
irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebod-
ings. There is giddiness, a sort of whirl-
ing sensation in the head when rising up
suddenly. The bowels become costive; the
skin is dry and hot at times; the blood be-
comes thick and stagnant; the whites of the
eyes become tir ged with yellow: the kidney
secretfons become scanty and high colored,
depositing sediment after standing. There
is frequently splitting up OF the food some
times with sour taste and sometimes with
swedish taste; this is frequently attended
with palpitation of the heart and asthmatit
symptoms; the vision becomes impaired, with
spots before the eye: there is feeling Of
great prostration and weakness.
The Kemp Case.
E. F. Kemp, Of No. SIT Fourth avenue
southeast, said: ''For ten years at least I
suff cred from catarrh. My nose seemed to
be stopped up all the time. Over the eyes
and at times in the back part of my head
had a dull. heavy pain. presume was the
more alarmed because not long ago my
brother had died Of consumption. He had
the raising of phegm, the pain in his head
and the cough just as 1 did, and the doctors
told him that his trouble was catarrh. Well,
he let it run until it extended down into his
lungs, and the first thing he knew he was
hopeless consumptive. He died not long ago.
I tried various remedies for my catarrh, but
they did no good. About two months ago I
went to DIR. McCoy's Office and was examined.
Shortly after / went under his treatment.
The pain in my chest which had begun to
feel, the pain over my eyes and the cough, left
me. My appetite returned to me and began
to feel as well as ever. Every trace of the
catarrh has left me and am well man."

The Good 1t has Done.

The LEADER spoke q few weeks
ago of the great revolution that is
going on IN the drinking habits OF
our people, though legal prohibition
may not, as yet, be an accomplished
fact. The Railroad books show
that from 1893, the year the Prohi
bition agitation began in Lincoln
county, to 1885; there was falling
off IN the whisky received Mt Brook
haven, of 60 barrels, or 400 gallons.
Estimating 60 drinks to the gallon
at Is cents per drink, this ID a saw
ing to the county by Prohibition OF
$4,000. 90. in dollars and cents, To
say nothing whatever of other con
siderations. The increased good
order, and falling off in court bust
ness as result Of this agitation has
already been noted, whereby the tax
payers have already been saved
several thousands of dollars in
court costs.
Another point. The decrease in
the receipts Of whisky at this place
has occurred Notwithstanding the
fact that since 1888, Copiah has be-
come Prohibition county and that
our saloon men claim as much whis.
Ky is drunk in Copiah as ever and
that they sell it to the Copiahano ;
and that there is as much drinking
in Lawrence as ever, and that they
sell the liquor that's sent down
there. These figures also answer
the now abandoned trade argument,
so.called. If whisky draws trade to
a town, and people come because the
whisky docs draw them, why is it
that since the other counties have
gone dry, the amount of whisky
sold here hasn't increased instead OF
having fallen of 200 in 2 years ?
In conclusion we ask, if the mere
agitation of the Prohibition question
has wrought so much, what will Pro
hibition itself do? Vote the dry
ticket on August 10th and let us try
it two years and see.
