It affords the pioneer women cyclers
no little amusement and satisfaction to
recall the days when bicycle manufac-
turers, in reply to requests for women's
wheels, would say with emphasis:
''We nave never manufactured a WON
ans wheel and we will" In
those early days of wheeling, bicycles
for American women were imported
from England. One woman who had
never seen a bicycle, but had read of
them and was possessed of the true
wheeling spirit, bought one of these
cumbrous machines. It had wheels
thirty inches high, weighed over fifty
pounds, had a solid tire and cost n
hundred and forty dollars. The first
ride of the owner upon this machine of
solid weight and worth covered ten
miles, and produced a sprained ankle,
a black eye and an entirely demolished
gown. The riders spirit was g%nbroken,
however, and, after a rest of two
weeks, she mounted again and rode to
victory. In these days of teachers,
trainers and countless comfortable APP
planes, it is refreshing to know of
these Spartan achievements.
While many women ride diamond
frames and an increased number will
doubtless continue to do so, the radical
differences between a mans wheel and
a woman's will always be the drop
frame. When the bicycle is regarded
simply as a vehicle and not as a toy or
machine for display, the majority of
women will probably wear skirts. A

Gently stopped by caterpillars. The in

"A more perfect day could not have

"A more perfect day could not have
been made to order than was Wednes-
day, June 10, on which day a gay
house party was given by Mesdames
Calkins and Saunders to the high
school girls of 1850 at the home of Mrs.
Calkins on the lake. A remarkable
feature of this occasion was the meet
ing of eleven members of one class, of
which Mrs. Dr. Saunders, then Miss
Hattie Wattles, was one. Some OF
these have been separated for thirty
years, still there are traces OF their
childhood lingering in their faces and
school day tricks in their thoughts.
Many an apple had been eaten, many
a billet doux passed to the sweetest
boy unobserved by the strictest of
teachers, and jokes played of which the
more modern scholars never dreamed.
This class of eleven was photographed
by L. NJ. Theirs, then pictures of all
present were taken in group. De-
licious refreshments We're served at 5
o'clock; after this the Virginia reel was
danced, Mrs. Calkins at the piano.

A BIG UNDERTAKING.
The Great Work of Building the Big
Bicycle Works.
One cannot comprehend what tn


One cannot comprehend what the
magnitude of the undertaking was
which z. G.. Simmons undertook when
he contracted to build the immense
Sterling Bicycle factory in so short a
time. When one stops to consider that
nearly one mile of stone foundation
three feet high had to be built for the
main building alone, that the founda-
ton for the engine bed contains 10000
brick, enough to erect pretty good
sized house with and floor laid over
the surface of $4,000 square feet with
out making a variation in all that
space of not the eighth of an inch, then
to imagine brick walls erected above
and all rooted over, one can hardly
help being lost in amazement. 1t has
been remarkable undertaking and the
accomplishment of the results as they
stand there today are scarcely less
than marvel. 1t took very prompt
action and great executive ability.
Mr.. Simmons secured the side track
which runs through the building from
which the material could be taken
right on the site within twenty -four
hours after the signing of the contract
to build, and the work from that mo-
ment has been pushed with consum-
mate skill and vigor. Not a nail nor a
brick is shamblingly put into the build
ing, either. Every inch of it is built
upon honor and honestly. Rather than
leave loose joint anywhere Mr.. Sim
mons has gone beyond his contract
and placed iron bands in some Of the
joints so as to be doubly sure the build
ing would hold all the racking and
tearing incident to the running of
heavy machinery.
One sight of the building inside
is an eye opener. Standing at one
end of it and looking down
through the maze of timbers and
rafters one seems nearly lost in
space. One can scarcely realize that
objects at the further end of the build
ing are but about two short blocks
away. They are, but the distance
seems to be so cumulative that they
look farther. The view from the top
of the building seems scarcely less mar
velous. Standing on the top of the
sky light cupola at one end and looking
toward the other the perspective of
both sides seem to push in so rapidly
that the further end looks nearly like a
point or apex to an almost acute
angle.
Mere writing about it, and the read
ers rapid perusal OF the description can
give but faint idea of the magnitude Of
the undertaking. Go out and see the
building. You'll not regret it.

THE SUIT DROPPED.
The Pleasant Prairie Annexation Matter
Settled.

Settled.
There will be no suit over the Pleas
ant Prairie annexation which has been
such a vexation to the business men
and citizens generally the past three
months. The matter has been settled
out of court by the committee Of the
Business Mems association consisting
of E. G.. Timme, c. Fl. Gonnermann
and P. 81. Keevan. This committee
met the parties interested in the suit
Wednesday afternoon and kept at the
work in hand we'll into the night and
arrived at no conclusion. But this
morning when they took the matter
up it was agreed to drop the suit in
case the city would pay the expenses
thus far incurred. These amounted to
about $175. Mr.. Gonnermann at once
deposited check for $175 with the
First National bank as an earnest that
the city would live up to the agree
ment.
1t is understood that the city will
not agree to pay more than $3.50, and
Mr.. Gonnermann says if it don't he
will pay the other $25 on his own ac-
count for the satisfaction of getting the
matter out of the way. The Pleasant
Prairie people have gone to Milwaukee
this afternoon to order the suit
dropped.

HOW ABOUT OUR HARBOR?

Capt. Palfreys Report Does Not Men
tion It.
Capt Carl F. Palfrey, the engineer in
charge of the harbors of the west shore
of Lake Michigan, who has been here
two or three times to make notes on
the necessities of improvement in
our harbor, has reported to the
chief of engineers in Wash
ington upon the rivers and
harbors in his district. In the
news dispatches concerning the report
nearly every harbor along the lake is
mentioned to the entire exclusion Of
Kenosha. Milwaukee, Green Bay,
Sturgeon Bay, Kewaunee, Manitowoc,
Sheboygan and Racine are all men
toned, and the depth of water each
one wants for the river channel is
infinitely detailed. Then Fox and
Wisconsin rivers are mentioned, but
not single word is said about Keno
sha, which is more sorely in need of
the improvements than almost any
other harbor which could be mentioned
Where is the hitch? Did Capt. Palfrey
leave out all mention of Kenosha or is
the dispatch maker in Washington at
fault?
