Bicycles SupplantinE Horses.

From the Kansas City Star.
Superintendent of Schools J. VI. Green
wood returned this morning from a two
weeks' tour of Nebraska and Iowa. He
noted a number of interesting facts on his
trip. Mr. Greenwood observed that horses
in Nebraska were almost worthless. DO
you kr ow that the bicycle has almost run
the horse out of business for travelling pur-
poses?" remarked the educator IT'S a fact.
The state in the main Is remarkably level
and one has to have a bicycle to enter So
ciety. Farmers by the hundreds use them.
and it Is an actual fact that their service
has materially lowered the values of horse
flesh"

A Plain Case of Basking Shark.

From the Westminster Gazette.
remarkable encounter with n strange
sea monster is reported by the crew OF the
bark I.oongana, which has arrived from the
Gilbert group at sydney. The vessel was
drifting along somewhere in the vicinity
of the Santa Cruz group, when the helms
man shouted out that there was a whale
alongside. According to the mate the Wis
itOr, which almost touched the vessels side
was not whale at all, but a monster thirty
feet long and eleven feet broad, completely
different to anything ever seen before by
any one on the ship. 1t had a mouth large
enough to take in half a dozen men. 1t re-
sembled whale about the tail, but was
differently formed about the head. and was
of a dark color, spotted with white The
eyes were visible. Fearing an attack from
the monster, two shots were fired at his
body from Winchester rifle, but the bull
let's appeared to have not the slightest eff
feet. third shot, which struck its head,
had the desired result. and with one sweep
of the TAIL 1t turned and disappeared as
suddenly as 1t had hove in sight.

The Usual Campaign Lie.

We understand that the usual
misrepresentation of facts is being
banded about among our Populite
friends, with the view of influence
ing their votes. We could show
the falsity Of them all, but at this
time will only nail one that we
hear is causing a great amount of
concern among number of our
tobacco raisers, namely, that the
Democratic Congress just adjourn
ed has levied tax of eight cents
per pound on all the tobacco the
farmers may raise. This is not
true. The new law is SO framed
that those who buy and sell tobac-
co for manufacture or export, and
foreigners who import it, shall pay
the tax. The small farmer and
grower is especially exempt from
paying the tax. We quote a por-
ton of Sec. SO of the law:
Every person shall also be re-
garded as manufacturer of tobac-
co whose business it is to sell leaf
tobacco in quantities less than a
hogshead, case or bale; or who sells
directly to consumers, or to per-
sons other than duly registered
dealers in leaf tobacco, or duly reg
istered manufactures of tobacco,
snuff or cigars, or to persons who
purchase in packages for export;
and all tobacco SO sold by such per-
sons shall be regared as manufac-
tured tobacco, and such manufac-
tured tobacco shall be put up and
prepared by such manufacturer in
such packages only as the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue with
the approval of the Secretary of
the treasury shall prescribe: Pro-
vided, That farmers and growers of
tobacco who sell leaf tobacco of
their own growth and raising shall
not be regarded as manufactures of
tobacco; and SO much of section
3244 of the Revised Statutes of the
United States, and Acts amenda-
tory thereof, as are in conflict with
this Act are hereby repealed.
