COUNTY BICYCLE. RECORDS
WELL ESTABL lSHED. II: ~

COUNTY BICYCLE. RECORDS
WELL ESTABLISHED.
Last Wednesday, was an ideal
day for a bicycle tournament.
The weather was warm with
scarcely any wind blowing; and
the track was in splendid condi-
ton. There was quite a crowd
assembled although it was not as
large as it should have been. The
judges were Messrs Sam Olson.
Louis Moline and Chas. Larson.
There were score or more riders
eager to contest for the prizes,
among them one or two from
Litchtield and Benson. Those
who entertained doubts that
there would be any thing in an BIZ
cycle race to cause interest or ex-
element, had them quickly dis
PEELED when the riders were off
in the first race, the 1 mile handi-
cap. 1t proved an exciting event
and the crowd remained and
watched with intense interest the
events as they passed off until the
time warned them of the ap.
proach of supper-time. The ten
mile handicap race, was postpon-
ed on account of the lateness of
the hour. The following is the
official score.

COUNTY RECORDS.
The following are the county
records for time made, which
hold until lowered in a regulation
way. We presume that it will
be the am bition of every young
cycle enthusiast in the: county tC
lower these records:
ONE MILE. M. J. BOYD. 2:2g
HALF MILE. G. A. RICE. . .1.121
QUARTER MILE, F. W1NBLAD. "a
FIVE MILE A. C:JoHNsoN 1874
The gate money and entrance
fees Melted the Club about $50.
The deplorable condition of the
fair ground fences of course al
lowed any cheap guy to beat his
way in or witness the races from
outside. On the whole, however
the meeting was a great success.
Our people feel that the boys
should be encouraged in their
attempts to arrange interesting
and drawing events. Cycling is
is a healthy sport with no objec
tionable features, and is bound tc
grow in popularity. 'Rah for the
Cycle Club!

THE BIG DAYOF THE FAIR.

Two Western League games of
base ball-one between the St.
Paul and Detroit clubs and the
other between Minneapolis and
Terre Haute clubs-willb eamong
the attractions at the State Fair
on Newspaper Mems Day, Sat-
turday, Sept. II. Manager Com
|iskey informed the St. Paul Press
Club by wire that the St. Paul

The Minneapolis Press Club has
arranged for the playing of the
Minneapolis Terre Haute league
game on the Fair Grounds during
the same afternoon. One game
will be called at 1 p. m. and the
other at 4 p. m. The base ball
fever has never ragged so high in
Minnesota as during this year.
AS a result of this great interest
in the national game, Secretary
Randall, of the State Fair Associ.
alton has for several weeks re.
ceived bushels of letters asking
that a Western league game OF
of ball be played on the Fair
Grounds some day by the fair.
The newspaper men have pre-:
pared to meet this appetite to ball
with two professional games in
stead of one.
Another of the great attractions
of the day will be a band concert,
given by one hundred and fifty
performers of the Musicians Un-
ion of st. Paul and Minneapolis.
The performers donate their SER
vices. The aggregation will be
led in turns by the most noted
leaders in the West.
Miss Mate Christopher, the
champion lady bicyclist of the
world, will race one mile against
a horse. Apurse of 81 900 stands
in readiness for any trotting
horse in the world that defeats
her
A race between twelve very
fast ricycle riders who are now
wearing artificial limbs will be
an amusing feature of the day.
There will be a running race
between the noted thoroughbreds
Anawan, Allablaze, Ianthe, and
Miss Price, all from the stable of
al Sphinx, proprietor of the world
famed Electric race track, of ST..
Louis Mo. Mr.. Sphinx is a well
known newspaper man and is
also proprietor of the drama,
''rhe Derby Winner on the
boards at the Grand opera house
in st. PAU the first half of fair
week and at the Bijou in Mime
apolis the last half of the week.
There will be Oh exciting run
ming race between mounted po-
licemen of st. Paul and: Minnea-
polls. There will be a startling
race between the fire chiefs of
st. Paul and Minneapolis in their
little red wagons behind the
sWiftest running horses to be
had. Among the other events
will be a bicy Gle race. between the
managers Of the dailies Of St.
Paul and Minneap oils, q fatmen's
race, etc.
lis safe to say that the last
day Of the fair will be the big

CHEERFUL PEN PICTURES.

The weekly press of Alabama IS blithe and refreshing of late.
 Country merchants have laid in good stocks and are beginning to advertise. The local columns are full of mention Of huge ears of corn, monster melons ana gigantic peaches. Farmers are telling the editors that they are raising large proportion of their own supplies ana that hog and hominy will abound this winter Many of them say that cotton is turning out better than they had reason to nope for a fortnight ago.
 Wagons return from town loaded Wlth bagging and ties. The white boiis are bursting under the August sun the saws of the gins are beginning to wnirr-in d word. Alabama has awakened from her summer siesta and is getting ready Tor fall work and trade.
 The pictures drawn by the pens ot our brethren of the country press are Sooo antidotes for the "blues" They Will make anyone but confirmed pessimist feel better.

CANNOT MAKE IT.
The Commissioners Find No Authority for That Appropriation Although They Are
 Heartily in Its Favor.

The county commissioners will not make an appropriation for the Alabama exhibit at the Atlanta exposition The Age-Herald several days ago published the resolution adopted by the directors of the Commercial club requesting such an appropriation, and it was believed at the time that the request would be grant ed, and it would have been done had the commissioners been able to find authority for such action.
 Yesterady was the last day Of the Au- gust term of the commissioners court, and an Age-Herald reporter called there during the afternoon to ascertain what action had been taken with reference to the resolution of the Commercial club directors. In response to question eV- cry member of the court said he was heartily in favor of making the appropri- ation, but they could find no law author izing them to do so. At the request Of the commissioners Judge Porter had in vestigated the law governing the matter and each member of the court had also conducted an investigation for himself and none of them had been able to find anywhere any authority for such an ap- propriation.
 All four of the commissioners expressed their regret that such was the case, but as they could not act without some law they would have to decline to accede to the request of the Commercial club,

MATr RANsoM AND HIS OFFICE.


 The case of the Hon. Matt Ransom, who was appointed minister to Mexico some months ago, is peculiar one, and will require some delft handling to dis pose of it in a manner satisfactory to all parties concerned.
 While still occupying his seat in the Senate Mir. Ransom urged and secured an increase of $500O in the salary of the Mexican minister. Isaac Pusey Gray was at that time representing this coun- try in Mexico, and upon his death MT Ransom was named for the place and appointed. It now appears that the ap- pointment has never been entirely sat- isfactory. It is stated that MT Gray s long illness occasoned much delay in many matters of importance relating to our government, and when Ransom was appointed his health had begun to fall seriously It has not improved with his stay at the Mexican capital and now that the appointment has been declared invalid it is rumored in Washington that the place will not be filled at once.
 It is supposed that Congress will make an appropriation to cover the amount of salary drawn by MT. Ransom. and It is more than probable that had he been physically able to give full attention to matters pertaining to his office he would have been immediately reappointed Consul General Crittenden is now spoken of for the place.

THE WALLER CASE.
French Authorities Show Disposition to
 Be More Complaisant

Washington, Aug. 22.-Acting Secre- tary of State Adee authorizes the statement that information has been re- ceived from Ambassador Eustis, in re- sponse to urgent instructions cabled him some three weeks ago, that the record of proceedings and evidence in the court martial of Waller at Tamatave is ex- pected to reach Paris toward the end of this month. MT. Eustis also reports that access to Waller has been accorded to him, after repeated and urgent requests made on the reiterated orders of the de- partment of state. The department not having been advised whether MT. Eustis has taken advantage of this permission to delegate a competent deputy to visit the prison near Clairvaux, where Waller is at present confined, and confer with him, MT. Adee has instructed him by telegraph that he should do so at once, if not already done
 The department has no later informa- ton of the movements of Mrs Waller and her four children since the dispatch of Consul Campbell of Port Louis, Mau- ritus announcing that unless the depart ment cabled instructions to provide them with passage home they would sail from that place for France on the 20th of this month, on their way to the United States. MT. Eustis has been instructed to take care of Mrs. Waller and the children on their arrival in France and to furnish them with passage to the United States by steamer

The Grand Old Man.

Now that the British elections are over Mr. Gladstone has authorized pubhc de- nial of the statement that he had given an opinion in favor of the abolition Of the house of lords. He declares that ne never held such an opinion. The fact that the British voters have decided the issues raised by MT. Gladstone's party against the upper house in favor of the latter has no doubt tended to moderate the move ment for dealing radically with that bodv. MT. Gladstone's declaration seems to signify that the liberal party with few extreme exceptions, will say no more about ending the lords, but will be satisfied to see it reconsti- tuted on lines that will preserve it's an cient form and general character, while adding new elements to its membership drawn from the people on the elective principle. In short, the hereditary cham Der. instead of being destroyed, will pc made stronger by a reformation that Will bring it into more harmonious and re- sponsive relations with the house of com mons.-Baltimore Sun.

wholly to the support of the public schools Of the city; yet, this board IS or the opinion that under the oath required to be taken by each member thereof ana in justice to those citizens who pay such tax without waiting to be coerced and for the good of the city and we'll being Of the public schools, it is the duty of this board to see to and require each ard every city officer charged with collection of taxes to use all the legal means at his command to prevent the escape of any one from the payment of any and all taxes required by law to be paid.
 Be it further resolved, That this board is of the opinion, after a full investiga- tion, that the present city poll tax coilec- tor in what he has done in his efforts to collect delinquent poll taxes due the city has but endcavored to follow the law and faithfully perform the duties required of him by this board and his official oath, and that the garnishments heretofore caused to be issued by the poll tax col- lector should not be ordered dismissed, this board believing that the justice be- fore whom the same are pending, will dismiss any and all, wrongfully sued out, if any there be, upon proof being made before him as required by law.
 Be it further resolved, That said poll tax collector be and he hereby is instruct ed and required to forthwith collect all poll taxes due the city as fast as possi- ble, and to use all legal means, including garnishments, to effect the collection thereof to the end that the public schools of tho city may, if possible, be kept open for a full term during the ensuing scholastic year.
 MT. Lowe--Mr Gillespie says he don't want to dismiss these garnishments by wholesale. Were not they issued by wholesale? Does not the proof show that the poll tax collector went through the city directory and checked off the names there without reference to whether he had paid or whether he was under or over age?
 Alderman McCartin-There are some things in that resolution I would like to vote for. One was the maintaining of the public schools. But I can't vote for all it's provisions.
 Mayor VanHoose said there were some things in each resolution he would like to vote for and some in each he could not vote for.
 Alderman Parker wanted to know what the men would do pending the settlement of the matter.
 Without taking vote the board at 1O:3o adjourned.
 Mayor VanHoose said he and the chair men of the finance and judiciary commit- tees would remain after the board ad- journed and investigate the cases of such as desired to come before them, but im- media tely after adjournment all the men in the room left

A Candid Confession.

When Brother Carmack arrived this morning from Washington at the inn where he takes his ease he wrote on the register in his bold Maury county hand: "E w. Carmack-Returned-T God!"
 Notwithstanding his ardent advocacy of the 16 to 1 proposition, our d1stln- guished confrere has keen appreciation of humbug, and when he goes gunning for folly as it flies the game has no more chance to get away from him than the traditional coon had to escape DaVy Crockett Hence it was we saw him rag ing like baited lion in the Memphis free silver convention when Tillman and the populists were about to take possess sion of the affair and run it their way. And hence also, we may form some idea of the disappointing character of the Washington conference when Brother Carmack returns from it in such frame of mind that he is irresistibly moved to thank God for being back in Memphis in the middle of August.
 We greatly fear that Brother Carmack will never become a successful politician. The candor in his makeup seems inerad- icable

Miss Whitnev,s Wedding.

The latest arrangements for Miss Whit ney's wedding indicate that it will be very grand affair. It is to take place ear ly in November. Bishop Potter has been chosen, it is said, to perform the cere- mony and the superb New York home of the ex-secretary will be the scene of the nuptials Everybody who is anybody will attend.
 Miss Whitney's trousseau has already been ordered from Paris. The wedding dress is to be white satin trimmed with pearls and the veil will be surmounted by the famous jewellel diadem for which Mrs. Whitney is understood to have paid $6O.O0O. Young Cornelius Vanderbilt will be an usher and Miss Alta Rockefeller a bridesmaid. Shortly before her own we'd ding Miss Whitney will act as a brides maid at the coming Rockefeller wedding Whatever may have been thought of the Sloane affair, the Whitney one promises to exceed it in splendor. MT. and Mrs Grover Cleveland will certainly attend and one of Governor Morton's daughters is also to be a bridesmaid. As gather ing of great personages, the nuptials of this young lady will live long in social annals as a very field of the cloth of gold among occasions of the sort. The cost will beggar calculation and Cupid will bathe in golden fountains indeed

THE TREASURY BALANCE.
Officials Confident That Revenues Will Be Suf-
 fcient to Meet Expenditures,

Washington, Aug. 21.-The official fig- ures issued today show that the general treasury balance stands at $181, ,534, ,S97. This includes 277' disbursing on ac- count of bonds and interest this month, which will not appear until the state ment for August appears on the 1st of September. Deducting this the actual balance is found to be $179, ,158, 620. This is the lowest figure reached since last March, when the treasury began to re- ceive the proceeds of the sale of bonds at that time. The balance of the avail able funds in the treasury is something less than $50, ,000, ,000, and this is necessari- ly divided among the several sub-treas- uries and in designated Repositories.
 Thus far there has been no necessity to transfer funds by telegraph from one point to another in order to meet heavy drafts, as was done before the last bond issue, and treasury officials do not be- lieve that they will be compelled to do so While it is true that receipts from customs duties are likely to be lighter for a time than they have been, owing to the fact that heavy fall importations are generally in, confidence is felt by the department officials that the revenues will be sufficient to meet expenditures. Certainly this will be the case in their opinion when the importation of spring goods begin to arrive in the near future. In the meantime the balance will be kept we'll up to its present figure.

,17seIoMsev IN CHICAGO.

The Age-Herald reproduces an inter- view by a reporter of the Chicago inter- Ocean with MT. Eugene F. Enslen, Who is now in that city
 Of course, what Mir Enslen says Tn re- gard to our resources is no news to us' but it is good reading all the same. The most striking fact is that Mir Enslen ap- hears to have succeeded in interesting Chicago capitalists in the proposed steel plant, as we'll as in another enterprise. There is no doubt that Chicago looks with favor upon Birmingham, and the presen- tation of the Magic City's opportunities for investment by such conservative, practical man as MT. Enslen cannot fail to bear fruit.

Wouldn't Suit Silverloons.

Tn order to put gold on an equality With silver and fully meet all the charges made by the free silver men that tneir white metal is discriminated against, Rhodes Journal of Banking reconinlenos 5 the demonstration of gold.
