New York, March 10. = Swiftly the
bicycle riders keep moving. They don't
seem Tired bit. The race is so Close
that there's chance for one OF five Of
the seven riders to pull off first money
by gallant squirt.
The crowds haven't been very large In

ayers, and the cause of it all could not
be explained by them. But disinterested
persons gave as their reasons for the slim
attendance, first, the unpopularity Of a
twelve hour q day race, and, second, q
too high rate of admission. Then it was
said that a different class of people pa,
tronized bicycle race from that which
attended the horse and dog shows, and
thatthe admission rates should have been
lowered accordingly.
The score at the end of the fifth day
WAS as follows:
Ashinger S49 miles, laps; Lamb s4s
miles, laps; Lumsden S49 miles, 4 laps
Martin S4S miles. 4 laps; Reading 81

THE 1892 electoral college, whose
votes will elect the president and vice
president of the United States, will
consist of IA members, each state
having number equal to the members
Of congress from that state, including
the members Of the house Of representa-
tives and the two senators. Necessary
for a choice Of president and vice-presi-
dent, 1898 electoral votes. Regarding
the democratic national convention at
Chicago, whose doings will be watched
with far more interest than the republ;-
can one at Minneapolis, for the reason
that Harrison's denomination is gener-
ally taken for granted, it may be of
interest to state that the number of
delegates will be about 900, with two
thirds, or 900 votes, necessary for a
nomination. The roll is to be called in
the alphabetical order of the states.
Before the all-important state of New
York can be reached 81 states will vote,
with total of 500 delegates, or 81 short
Of two-thirds. Alabama, the first state
on the list, Is for Hill. Wisconsin, the
last state, is for Cleveland.

THE commissioner Of patents is send

THE commissioner Of patents is send
ing out a circular letter to applicants
for printed copies Of patents that con-
gress will be likely to hear from soon.
1t notifies the applicant that, owing to
ack Of room for the storage and
arrangement of printed copies of
patents, their orders cannot be filled
until additional room shall be provided
by the proper authorities. Congress is
the proper authority, and the thousands
of manufacturers, inventors and owners
of patents, who will be seriously in
convenienced and in many cases need
lessly embarrassed by not being able to
get copies of patents, will be asking
congress why some part of the 81 ,000,-
900 earned by the patent Office, and
now lying idle in the treasury vaults, is
not used to provide that Office with the
room necessary to properly transact its
very important business? There is but
one satisfactory answer that congress
can give, and that is to pass bill au-
thorizing the spending of so much
money as may be necessary to provide
the room needed.

Never DO economical with politeness.
1t pays to be courteous, especially to
children and servants, who catch your
tone and manner, and reveal you to
your friends in way that you hardly
dreamed of as possible. The manner of
good society does not denote or imply
insincerity; nor need the sincere person
be brusque or boorish. Tact is a gift
worth striving for. if it have been de-
MED to that unsatisfactory being, the
natural man" Indeed, the natural
man or woman is not always the most
agreeable of associates. 1t is the dis
ciplined, cultivated man or woman
whom we enjoy meeting and are gener-
ally the better for living with. Chris

One Depends Upon the Other.

Neal VOORHEES, is now spending
several hours of each day porting
over painter Vandegrift's wood pile.
This same wood pile contains two
great scrawny loads of wood.
For some time VOORHEES,, who is
the Mexico representative Of the
Equitable Life insurance company
of New York, has been trying to
get Vandegrift to take out a $4,000
life policy in this company. A great
deal had been said on both sides
when the two gentlemen met in
Gibbs drug store yesterday morn
ing. The subject came up again
and Vandegrift said. eff you will
saw up the two cords of wood in
my back yard I will give you the
Insurance." VOORHEES, soon agreed
and a $40 forfeit on each side was
posted. He went to work yester-
day and sawed one-fourth of a cord
before stopping.
J. S. Kendrick of st. Louis,
cashier of the Equitable Life, ar
rived last night and hunted up
VOORHEES, to-day, asking him what
he was doing.
"I am saving wood for the COM

"What?" said the cashier.
II am saving wood to get more
Insurance."
The referees selected are J. w.

BENTON CITY, Mo-, Dec. o.
Benton City is putting on airs.

wreck caused by a broken rail or
something of the kind. The engine
and three cars were ditched. For
tunately no one suffered any injur-
les except a few bruises by the fire.
man and engineer who jumped from
the engine.
The linemen are here changing
wires along the Wabash. Monday
the manager of Geographic affairs
had the instruments removed from
this office. Our people are in
"sackcloth and ashes feeling that
we are badly used. Our shippers,
in particular, will suffer much in
convenience from the present ar
rangement, and the railroad Com
pany will lose a number of ship
ments as parties will be compelled to
90 elsewhere for their telegraph
ing andnaturally transfer their
other business to the same point.
Rush Hill ON the c. & A. will profit
by the change.
Young Robert Tratchel, who was
accidentally shot, is doing splendidly
considering the extent of his injur-
les. The entire load of shot en-
tered his breast almost directly over
his heart but ranged downward and
outward, and was removed by DR..
Haley of Mexico, eight or nine
inches below. The gun being
against his body, he was badly pow
der burned and much OF the wad-
ding, clothing and several pieces OF
his watch chain were carried into
the wound. DR.. HALEY Of this place
has charge Of the case and is of the
opinion that if none of the shot
were turned in by the ribs and are
in the lungs, he has a fair chance to
recover. 1t is a lamentable affair
and one which causes his family
much anxiety and distress, which is
augmented by the report of some
thoughtless persons that the injury
was intentional, the young mans
statement to the contrary notwith-
standing, backed by every clrcum-
stance connected with the case.
The first of the year will witness
several changes in business circles
in our little city.

IN COURT FOR NOT VOTING.
Brought Up With a Sharp Turn and

$3.50 in Fines.

KANSAS CITY, December 21.-
City Counselor Rozelle brought suit
in the Circuit Court to-day to com.
pei B. T. Whipple, a prominent
capitalist, to pay 50. so as a penalty
for not voting at the last spring
election.
Kansas City has a clause in its
charter fixing a penalty of So. so pei
capita on all who do not vote. The
Recorder of Voters books show that
1921 voters did not vote last year,
and that consequently they owe the
city $47,677.50.
The suit to-day will be followed
by others, to include every delin-
quent non-voter on the books. The
list of dellnquents contains bank
presidents, capitalists and property
owners who did not take enough in
terest to vote.
The result of the suit will be
