A DOUBLE BICYCLE.
4 rhoaix hoy Invcnta q Handy and InEe-
ntous Device.

Mcssrs. George Scarlcs and Grant Randall
are exhibiting an adjustment for coupling
two bicycles for work on the railroad or
may bc used together on the highway. The
device Is the Invention Of Mr.. Scarles- II
consists OF adjustable coupler fastened
at each end by clamps to the framework of
the bicycle, The ends are also hinged TO
allow lor slight Inequalities of speed. For
railroad work n small Hanged wheel both
before and behind each bicycle drops down
on tho track and prevents the machine from
leaving the track. The adjustable char
rctcr of the coupler provides for an irregu.
iatttN OF gauge or a slight uncycnncss of
speed without cramping the flangcd wheels
on Il. For road work the Hanged wheels
may hc removed or fastened out Of the way
above the machines.
There have been several attempts to con-
struct Couplcrs FOR bicycles, but their
rtEIlity hns always rendered them ifnprac-
ticable. This one removes nil objections.
Mr.. Scarlcs does not intend to take out n
patent on the device for the reason that
railroads. would likely object TO the use of
The machines On tracks if arrangements
were made for their extensive manufacture.

one day discovered that she had saved

At the same time Wong discovered

duced Mary to join her lot with his.
This was only short time ago. Mary
caused Wong's arrest last night on

her almond-eyed spouse had secured

BUYING PAPER MILLS.
ENGLISH CAPITALISTS INVEST
Optioas Said to Have Beon Taken Upon

MulionDollars Involved

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept Ca spe-
eial to the Wisconsin from Appleton,
Wis. says: The greatest syndicate
deal since the purchase of the Amer
lean breweries by English capitalists
hns just been concluded, and, unless
something unforeseen occurs, all the
paper and pulp mills on Fox river will
pass into the hands Of an English
syndicate on April !.
1t Is learned from parties interested
In the sale that every paper and pulp
maker on Fox river. with two eXcep-
lions, has signed a contract giving OPP
lions on all mills, machinery. water
rights, leases and other property. The
: option Is good for six months from Oc-
tober j. The two firms who have not
yet signed have agreed to dos 50 Mon
day. The reason for the delay Is TO
gain time TO complete the schedules
Of the property which must be at
tnched to the options when delivered
TO the syndicate In London.
The properties involved In the deal
include twcnty-ninc paper and twenty
one pulp mills, situated at Mccnah.
Menasha. Appleton, Kimberly, Little
Chute. kaukena, Combined Locks and
Deeper, which are situated along Fox
river for distance OF twenty-five
miles. The value of these plants Is
estimated Mt SiG,0oo.000. The daily
production, when run to the normal
capacity, amounts to 1900 miles OF
paper In sheet scventy-six inches
wide. and 300 tons Of pulp. The value
OF the product is about $50. 900 daily.
The terms of the option provide that
the value OF the plants be rcckeacd

machinery and present value OF the
water rights and leases, and the earn
Ing capacity OF the mills rs shown
by the past business records.
The payment for the properties Is to
be half cash and half In tlIree-year
notes, to be secured by mortgages on
the mills and power. The deal has
been worked up by Frank Bnttcrworth
OF Chicago. The project has been on
foot several weeks. When first made
public, IL met with considerable oppo-
sition. II was charged that Butter

that he would get MS many options rs

Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to US as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced homo physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them. and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a t-ial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
il surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal rnalady, all other medicines with
which they arc acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fl, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,

On last Friday evening little Robert

week the little fellow had suffered with
erysipelas, but not till two days before
death came did his condition seem very
dangerous Then, in spite OF the most
skillful medical care and the devoted
attention of parents and friends, the
disease became malignant and refused
to Weld. Robert was born March 2S,
1891. and so lacked but few days of
being three years and four months old.
Bright and full OF promise, his death
was still heavier blow because he was
the first ever taken from the home.
