I KANSAS CITY, Feb. 3.-Col. w. R.
NELSON, editor of the Kansas City Star,
swas attacked in his private offics this
9mprning by j. j. Davenport. Daven-
5p0rt struck Col. Nelson on the shoulder,
Staggering him, though the blow was
mot heavy one. Just as soon as The

Sson and City Editor Stout interfered.
{ and elected Davenport from Col. Mel

ing election. davenport went to the
Star office this morning and made sew
eral threats Of personal violence against
Col. Nelson if the policy of the
paper was not changed in regard
to himself. Col. Nelson replied
that he was personally responsible for
everything the paper contained and
proposed to continue his campaign
against him. He considered Davenport,
he said, an exponent of the spoilS sys-
tenn in the city government, and that
his bogus attempts at reform were made
merely for effect, and not to accomplish
any refor m.
You are bloviatin g demagogue,"
SAID Col. Nelson, ''an d no threats by

Nothing protects you but your gray

"Never mind my gray hairs" said
the colonel. II am fully able to defend
myself. This versation is unproft-
able, and see no use In continuing It."
Col. Nelson started towards the door.
and as he passed Davenport the blow
followed. Col. Nelson will not bring
criminal action against Davenport.

THE MINES or WEST KO0TENAI WEED
MO LONGER Be ADVERTISED.

They Are Advertising Themselves
in the Only Way That Attracts

Up to this week the shipments of ore
from the mines in Southern Kootenai

United States. This week sixty-ton
shipmenG of ore was made to Swansea,
Wales, and another sixty-ton shipment
will follow in few days as soon as the
ore can be double-sacked. Once this
ore is landed at Swansea. its sale will be
published in the mining journals of
London and reported in the circulars
sent out monthly by such we'll known
ore and metal buyers as James Lewis &
Sons, of Liverpool, and foreign mining
men will then have the only evidence
TO which they pay any attention-the
evidence that the mines in British

ALL FOR GOOD ROADS.
How the Bicycle Has Con-
tributed to This Reform.
AN IMPROVEMENT MUCH NEEDED.
The Interest That Col. Pope Has Taken
I'm the Movement for Years--The
Legislation That Has Resulted
What the Different States Have Done.

Colonel Albert A. Pope, whose name is
so intimately associated with the good
roads movement, and who is leader in
this important reform, began some years
ago to speak and write In support of better
highways. 1t is OF interest to know that
his attention was first called to the condi-
tion OF the roadways when he began to
take extended rides on the wheel.
In 1877 his first bicycle was constructed
under the personal supervision of an
English friend and at an approximate cost
of $500. He and his cousin, Mr.. Il. w.
Pope, learned to ride during this year, the
asphalt pavement around the school
house in Watertown, affording an excellent
place for practice. The very next year
machines were imported from England,
the interest in the new sport was in
creased, and every nook and corner OF the
region about Boston became thoroughly
familiar to the wheelmen.
Colonel Pope delivered numerous adj
dresses on this subject before the Carriage
Builders National Association, the meet
ings of the American Wheelmen, Boards
of Trade and other influential associations.
These speeches were afterwards printed
and widely read and quoted in the news
papers of the United States.
The present phase and renewed life of
this great reform dates from January, 1892,
and no one who has not had the privilege
of being near him in his daily work can
comprehend and appreciate the amount Of
time and thoughtful. labor which Colonel
Pope has spent in pushing TO the front the
interests OF the cause. He is a man of in
domitable energy, possessed of more than
the average amount of personal magne-
tism and can therefore inspire one with
enthusiasm and thus utilize the forces
which many leaders mig hit waste or entire
ly overlook.
During the past two years he has ad-
dressed large meeting, from the Atlantic
tothe Pacific, and the demands upon him
have become SO numerous as to preclude
the possibility Of his accepting more than
slight fraction of the invitations in which
he is urged to speak on "Good Roads,"
A systematic plan was ent~ red upon hav-
ing for its primary object the arousing of
the country to the great importance of
the subject OF good roads. Recognizing
the value of the press in influencing and
moulding public opinion, circular letter
was addressed to the editors throughout
the United States and they as rule became
interested and published articles COM
mending and endorsing the movement.
A letter was also sent to the literary men
of America, and they, too, were prompt in
responding to the CALL The effect was a
a great awakening as to the necessity of
better Eoads, and very large
number of articles appeared in the
various magazines and other publications.
As Colonel Pope had already founded q
Road Department at the Massachusetts,
Institute OF Technology he urged upon the
