Ariel, 2 Raleigh, 2 Ladies' Favorite,
Sylph, 2 Sterling, and one each OF Hart
ford, Phantom, Liberty, Union, Heating
Rob Roy, Reading, Favorite, Victor
Rochester, Relay, Ralph Temple and
Progress. The above list comprises i0i
bicycles, most OF which are high grade
wheels, and cost from $i25 to $3.50 dol
lars each. We do not include In the
above list wheels held by dealers for sale,
only those In actual use. There are also
other wheels in use, but are mostly cheap
grades. We presume, all told, Alpena
supports 140 wheels.
These bicycles have cost between $10,-
600 and $4,000, and are nearly all pneu-
mates, OF which at least sixty are as
fine wheels as are manufactured. OF the
104 In our list 20 are used by ladies.
There are 80 many wheels In Alpena
now that we should think an expert
mechanic could do considerable business
In making repairs. One we'll known
rider spoke the truth when he said "a
man with bicycle is always In trouble. {"
At present every dealer does the light re-
pairing to tires, ETC., but when the dam
age is TO the wheel or other part II u.s.
ually has to be sent to the manufacturer.
The high wheeled bicycle, Of which
there were several In town some years
ago, have disappeared, and all the wheels
now in use are the low ones.

Visit of Cheboygan People.

About two O'Clock Sunday afternoon
the steamer Minnie M arrived from Che
boygan, with over 100 people. As she
approached the Hitchcock wharf, she
presented a gay appearance, from the
number Of people on her decks. The
Cheboygan band was stationed on the
wheel house, and played lively selec-
ton as the steamer came slowly up the
river. Several hundred people had as
sembled on tho wharf to greet the visit
ors, including the st. Jean Baptiste and
st. John societies. which were drawn up
In open order to receive their welcome
guests from the enterprising city at the
Straits.
A procession was formed, consisting of
the Cheboygan band, the visiting men,
bers Of the st. Jean Baptiste, the Sons
of Veteran drum corps, and the Alpena
societies Of st. Jean Baptiste and st.
John. The line Of march was to Water
street, Second and Chisholm, then to the
French church, where service was held,
and then to st. John hall, where the Wis.,
itors were received and everything done
to make their stay pleasant one. AT
st. John hall, In the evening, there was
a pleasant time passed, with speeches,
music, singing, etc.
About ten o'clock at night the visitors
were escorted to the steamer Minnie M by
the local societies and several hundred
people, and rs the boat cast off lines and
moved from the wharf many a hearty
cheer Of good feeling was sent after the
visitors, which was enthusiastically an
swered by the Cheboygan people.
The visitors seemed to be we'll pleased
with the manner they had been entertain
cd. 1t was the first excursion of Cheboy-
gan people to Alpena, and we trust:it will
not be the last.

County Road Bonds Illegal.

At the election held In this county last
April, the people voted to bond the coun-
ty to the amount Of 100000 for improv-
ing the roads. The bonds were to ex-
tend from 20 to 40 years. Bids for the
bonds were received from various firms,
and the offer Of Lampreicht q Brother,
Cleveland, to take the bonds at pre-
MUM Of $2,195, was accepted. The
firm has had the laws OF Michigan ex-
amined in regard to counties Issuing
bonds, and found an old law which for
bids the Issuing OF bonds for over Is
years, and the claim is now made that
the issuing Of bonds by Alpena county
for period Of 40 years would be illegal.
The question has been submitted to the
Supreme Court for decision, and the
work Of improving tho roads has been
postponed until the bond business Is set
tied

The business done by the various
steamboats, calling at this port has been
very light during the past week, caused
mostly by the great railroad strike. AT
this season Of the year it is custom
airy for the steamers that extended their
trips to Mackinac, to be loaded with
passengers, and state rooms have to be
engaged in advance. On the recent trips
Of the Alpena and Mackinac, the steam
ers did not have half their state rooms
occupied, while there was large falling
off in freight. The railroads do not car
ry many passengers. The strike of the
railroad men affected business all over
the country, and the tourist travel has
been the smallest for many years. The
life of the business man these days Is not
happy one.
