invented a combination Of two Wheels

The old cuts of this odd machine. called
after its inventor the "Draisine." show it
to be in its general features the direct fore
runner of the hobby-horse. "Draisincs"
were introduced into England in 1918, and
a year later they were seen in America. on
the streets of New York.
In both countries they met with great
favor, and one historian relates that in

seat for the rider. In front of the seat was
a raised cushion upon which, handles in

the machine. He propelled it by pushing
alternately with his feet on the ground un-
til the speed was sufficient to maintain
equilibrium when he would raise his feet,

The rage for these "Drasnes" and ''pe-
destrian curricles' or ''dandy-horses' and
''hobby-horses." as the later improved"
machines were called, subsidized rapidly be-
cause of the difficulty of making them
practically useful, and because of the ridi-
Guile always excited by the riders.
The curious sport of riding two wheels,

ular plane therefore languished in obscu-
rity until after lapse of more than 40
years 1t again attracted public attention i'm
a new form. II was in 1865 that a French
mechanic. Pierre Lallemant. conceived the
notion of attaching foot-rranks to the

ALL STATISTICS OF this years crop
from wheat growing countries seem
to support the prevalent idea among
our people, that We will get a high
price for our crop OF wheat. 1t is
probable that we will have an ex.
portable surplus of 15O,OOO,OOO
bushels, and it is estimated that
Great Britain alone needs that sur.
plus. Hon. W. D. Washburn cabled
from st. Petersburg the 5th inst,
that Russia has no exportable sur.
plus. To make the long story short,
the worlds supply OF wheat and rye
show a shortage OF $4,000, 900
bushels. Europe will take our sur
plus and pay us fair price for it.
In addition to this, the Alliances
have determined to hold their wheat,
In accordance with instructions
received from Alliance headquarters
at Washington. State Secretary
French, OF the Farmers Alliance,
says he is in receipt OF letters daily
from sub-Alliances all over the state,
assuring him that the farmers, as
far as possible, have agreed to hold
their wheat for higher prices. We
believe that these facts will be great
motivesinpushing the price OF wheat
upwards.

DeYaSted By Hail.

and rain that ever visited this sec
ton OF the country, passed over the
city, and, although the damage
was not nearly SO great as was ex-
pected, still considerable injury was
done to the growing grain.
The storm started a few miles
northwest OF the city and travelled
in a south-easterly direction, follow
ing the line OF the The Northern Pa
cific Railway asfaras Marin station.
The tract OF country covered by it
was only about seven miles long and
about a mile and a half wide, and
the extent OF the damage was COM
paratively light although the indi-
vidual losses were very heavy and in
many cases were total. The storm
ragged for two hours and the rain,
which was accompanied by consider
able wind, was the heaviest ever
known in this section. In the city
very little hail fell, but it began to
come down just beyond the city linz

to Marin Station every field of grain

about $4,000 and the greater part
Of the loss falls upon the farmers who

vested in this county, will be as a
