THE BICYCLE TEST.

The accomplishment of the men in
carrying dispatches on the bicycle be-
tween Chicago and New York provokes
admiration. 1t was a great test of ell
durance and pluck on the part of the
participants. There was mud all the
way, and rain and storms much of the
time. The dispatches were delivered
fourteen hours behind the schedule
time Of ten miles an hour, and about
the only point made specially conSpicu-
GUS in the operation is that the bicycle,
as at present propelled, is not adapted
to mud and bad roads. That is not a
revelation to those who have had much
experience with them. The leg power
as motive force is insufficient. Whether
the bicycle can be so equipped as to OPP
crate with electric potency, and be able
to overcome the obstacles Of mud and
soft roads. is one of the problems of the
future. As at present constituted and
operated, the bicycle can only distance
the horse on solid roads in dry weather.
The test from Chicago to New York
should have waited for dry roads. The
bicycle is the apostle of the gospel OF
good roads. 1t must have smooth roads
to be Serviceable. LII this country

orally used roads that bicycles could
not travel on. The use of the wheel in

AN IRATE WITNESS
Cools Off Suddenly When Threat

A somewhat unusual and exciting
scene occurred in Judge Egan's court
yesterday during the trial of the case Of
Orris Hunt against Robert Ell. Shepard.
The defendant, Shepard, was ON the
witness stand, having been called by
plaintiffs attorney as an adverse party
under the statute. Attorney Hunt was

The River at D;sagreeabie
Height and Still Rising.
The water in the Mississippi has
reached that stage where there may be
serious danger to the jewellers OH low
ground, or it may have reached
it's maximum proportions, and its
recedence may be looked for at
any moment. When once the latter
point is reached. the decline Of the
water will be far more rapid than was
it's rise. All day yesterday the rise was
slow, but steady, and last night the
mark showed but little short
of thirteen feet. which has been regard
Ell as the danger point. The upper
flats were then almost one large lake,
and the Polish settlements were prac-
tically deserted. Starting from below,
the water had erept in and gradually
covered all the ground, until finally 1t
began the invasion of the first floors OF
many OF the houses. A rise OF six inches
more will render uninhabitable most of
the homes at the north end of the high
bridge. At that point the river now
extends FROM bluff to bluff, and the
tracks of the Omaha road are threat
eued. This section is the most
seriously affected, though there
are other low points in other
parts of the city. On the West side
the back water Is assuming serious pro-
portions. From the base ball park
clear down to South Park there is One
complete and connected lake, and at
one point the water is in close prox-
unity to the tracks of the Kansas
City roadbed. From this there is
no danger,as the tracks are so ballasted
as to protect them from washing out.
Several houses in the same vicinity are
in danger OF the flood, and the families
have already evacuated them. 1t is
thought that the water has s,nearly
reached its maximum height and the re-
cessiou will begin in day or two at
most .,

OUR COUNTRY,s FLAG.

Early in the present session j DIN
SHERMAN introduced bill i'll the SEN
ate torbidding the use of the United
States flag by private individuals for the
purposes of advertising. The commit
tee to which il was referred has Just
now made an adverse report, claiming
that it does not lie within the province
of congress to interfere in matters OF
this sort. This may be true, but the OBJ
iect of the proposed law is a good one,
and perhaps it can be reached IN some
other way. Popular opinion, If once
reused GU the subject, ought to be ef-
fective in saving the stars and stripes
from dissertation. A few things
should be sacred in the midst Of the
prevailing fiippaney. The burlesQuIng
of the famous characters of our national
history, the parodying of our national
songs and anthems, the employment OF
our national emblems for cheap andyul-
gar ends deserve the general dISapproval.
We have task serious enough. at the
best, to kindIe and keep alive the spirit
of patriotism i'll the breasts OF the many
about US who by nature neither under
stand nor care for our institutions. We
cannot afford to let the tools which are
valuable for this purpose lose thelredge
through rough misuse. The vendorS OF
soap and patent medicines will spare
the flag if they see their patronage Will
suffer rather than increase because they
make it vehicle for attracting public
attention. -

Police Called Upon to Locate
Katie Wright's Whereabouts.
Five weeks ago las Saturday Katie
Wright disappeared from her boarding
place at SIS Summit place. Her friends
have been making a quiet search
for her ever since, and yes
terday called on the police for
aid. as all efforts to locate her had
proved fruitless. Katie was a seam
stress in the employ of George Lanpher
Il Co., shirtmakers, on East Third street,
and was twenty-four years old. There
is no possible explanation for her sud-
den leave taking. She was quiet young
woman and had no male acquaintance,
as far as is known. The appearance
of her room would Indicate that
she had left unintentionally, as
all her clothing and knlck-knackS
were left undisturbed in their places.
The Rondo street officers were notified
yesterday, and are at work on the case.
but the weeks that have elapsed will
make it difficult to find a clue. Miss
Wright'S parents live at Portland, Or.
Several letters have been received adj
dressed to her from there, and they are
evidently ignorant OF her disappear
ance. Every effort will be made to
throw some light on the mystery, as it
is feared by many of the girls friends
that she has met with foul play Of some

Morris is man of wide experience in
scientific construction. AS civil en-

States. In 1874 he came to New York
and engaged with the Hudson River
road. and remained there until the road
had been fully completed, equipped

the invitation of the chief engineer and
president OF the New York Central rail-
road, Oliver Fl. Lee, Mr.. Morris paid
visit to Chicago, where his services were
at once engaged by the Chicago & Alton
company, and Mr.. Morris continued
with this corporation likewise until it
was in full operation. The Chicago 81
ALTON then commissioned him to come

The hySterical periods of the st. Paul
press and boiSterouS fire of the CHAM
Der of commences orators -tinkle-with
a sad holIowneSS, now that the truth
seems TO be known about this latest
interurban feud. There are men whose
hatred of our sister city is so strong that
the mention of its name throws them
into commissions. With the liVellest
imagination, they picture the ablest
Minneapolitans as though they devoted
theirtbest energies to ST. Paul's diseom-
future; and chance sentence waited
from an irresponsible source Is enough
to arouse them to a feeling of personal
danger, and make them buckle on their
armor for protraeted warfare.
In the time to come these phenOm-
ena will be a study of great in
terest to antiquarians, and for the
present they deserve a place among the
examples of partial insanity to which
the attention of young physicians is
called by their teachers. On most sub
jects the average old settler of these
two counties is entirely coherent and
that. His memory is sound, his logical
faculties are exceptional, his manners
are courteous, his methods of thought
and action are temperate aud Self-re-
strained. But approach him on the re-
lations of st. Paul and Minneapolis, no
matter from what standpoint, and the
chances are that he will in the twink
ling of aneye become as mad as March
hare. A great, dense cloud of the all
tiqueSt pattern will settle down over
his intellect, and he will run hith er
and thither in the most unaeeOuntabie
fashion. He Will den0unce in unmeas
ured terms men with whom lie
has been familiar from b0yhood, and
whose characters he knows are unim-
peachabIe. He will trembie with the
most unnecessary agitation and anxiety.
He will rave with protruding eyebalIS
and belch forth avolley of infiammatory
el0queDce, as though the honor of his
wife and children were at stake. His
tory reveals no parallel to these explo
sicRs of local pyrotechnics. They are
unique, bewildering, amazing. The
