in intoxicants has occupied so large a
place in public and private discussion
during the past few years, and espe
eially during the political canvas just
closed, that the submission of a bill
embOdying the conclusions of the
party in power in this state will at.
tract the attention of all thinking and
reading people, of whatever political
affiliations, throughout the state Such
bill has been introduced in the SEN
ate, and is known as No. % 5. 1t was
introduced by Senator Joiner of -
county, and is said to represent the
wishes of anti-saloon Republicans, OF
whom Hon. j. A. johnson OF Milwau.

GEOGRAPHICAL FACTS.

There are 700 species of birds in South
America, of which nearly three hundred
are peculiar; the turkey and mocking-
bird belong to the latter class.
Iceland geographically belongs to
America, but is considered by some as
belonging to Europe, because of its early
discovery, in the Ninth century, A. d.
Greenland, more than 400 miles long,
is probably the largest island in the
world; some geographers think il is a
cluster of islands frozen together.
The length of North America is nearly
FIVE thousand miles, its greatest breadth
about three thousand two hundred miles,
and its area about one-sixth OF the land
surface Of the globe.
The largest and most productive plainS
in the United States is the Mississippi
valley, containing nearly two-thirds of
the territory of the United States. 1t is
one of the most fertile tracts il tile@
world, and is supposed to be capable of
sustaining population OF 500 900 900.
About the year 1000, A. D., America
appears to have been discovered by some
people from Iceland, under Lief, son of
Erie, who had discovered Greenland
They made settlements upon the coast,
but soon left the country, and nothing
was generally known of their adventures.
The Falls of Niagara, which are partly
in New York, form the most stnpen-
dous cataract in the world. They are
divided by Goat Island into two divisions.
The American side is about one thousand
feet wide and the Canadian 20OO, and
both plunge over rocks to the depth of
l62 feet. The shock causes the earth to
tremble for q considerable distance
around, and cloud of svapor rises over
the spot which is sometimes visible for
sixty or seventy miles

The committee expects that there will
be twenty-five starters in the race. The
Bachelor Boat Club house. beyond Mar
ket street bridge, will be the
headquarters of the the racers.
Guthrie's lane is just beyond Market
street bridge, and from it the course is
laid. The course branches off the New
Castle road and to the State Road and
continues down the State Road to a point
about 100 yards beyond the Hare's Corner
hill The distance is six and a quarter
miles, so that each rider must make two
round trips andspectators will be able TO
see the wheelmen four times without
changing position. The road will be in a
splendid condition on Saturday il the
weather keeps fine. The best stretch is
from the start to the end Of the shell
road, a distance Of two miles. The
scoring" will be done on this stretch.
Farmers and drivers generally are
requested to keep clear OF the course as
much as possible during the race. The
benefit will doubtless be mutual.
There will be some hot racing on the
shell road at the finish. Scorers will be
stationed along the route to prevent
crooked work and fouls.
The minimum time will be one hour
and forty minutes.
Valuable prizes are offered.
