Under the single gold standard,

existence. In other words the gov
eminent must stand good to redeem
ten dollars or more with every dollar
IN gold How long do YOU think it
can susta II it? Cannot a rich syn
dictate at any time draw the gold out
of the treasury and force the govern
ment to issue more bonds or abandon
the single standard? Such an idea
can stand. No man can continue TO

amounting to ten times the amount
of his ability to pay them. No gov

To treat silver as We treat gold at

tM,g. worthy Of all condemnation,
bnt the fact remains that it has been
the Democratic doctrine for years.

practically no party discussions, and
now where you see Democrats fleeing

Bicycle Races.

Quite a large crowd Of our citizens
gathered at the cycle track Wednesday
evening, at seven o'clock, To witness the
t"s OF come OF our speedcrs. The
evening was perfect. the track in excel.
lent condition. and the riding very ex.
citing. Promptly at seven the riders
we're turning the track, taking a
'scorch,' enthused with lively music from
the band stand.
The first race on the program was a
quarter mile dash, Ben Mcfarland,
Chas. Landmesser and Frank Rich.
ardson To fight for honor. The for.
mer started out with a hot pace and
finished first. with No. > u close second.
No. 3 was handicapped by u heavy wheel
but gave them hard chase. all three fin.
ishing in a bunch. Time. 371s.
The second event was a boys a for
a quarter mile, which aroused a great
deal OF enthusiasm. Bert Morhart took
first, Frank Peterson second, and Clar
ence Winters third.
| Geo. Morhart. Homer Sherwood. Zoo
Blair and Frank Cowden composed the
third race, which was to be a half mile.
The hrst quarter was made ut q warm
clip. paced by Wallace Wright. At this
place Frank Cowden made u squirt and
took the lead until on the home stretch,
where he was passed by Geo. Morhart,
who crossed the tape half a wheels
length ahead. Time, 1855.
After the excitement had somewhat
subsidized, Hugh Miner rode a mile with
a flying start, against time, but the time
keeper had a stop-wstch and WAS un.
able to the time.
The fifth and last event was a half
mile race, with Charley Landmesser,
Frank Richardson and Ben Mcfarland
as competitors. Ben took tho lead from
the start, setting a go pace. and the out.
look WAS in his favor until near
the close Of the last quarter. when both
OF the other riders succeeded in passing
him, Charley Landmasser first. The
time was LII.
There were no accidents to mar the
pleasure OF the evenings sport, and il is
needless to say that the races were en-.
joyed by everyone. participants includ.

One Of our travelling statesmen, who
travels for a clothing firm, has a novel
way Of enjoying himself while on the
road. Entering a clothing store, he will
politely salute the merchant, at the
same time taking a huge overcoat from
a grip and handing it to the clothier to
examine. The hotter the day the hotter
the fun. After e%nlightening the mer-
chant on this and that point, our sales.
mar finally induces him to try the fit.
He then tells the merchant how nice
the back sets, etc. for about ten min.
utes, walks round and buttons the front
up tight, showing him how the chest
fits and complimenting the double row
Of buttons which show the full length,
then turning up the ten inch collar he
explains how it is impossible for any
snow or cold to reach the head or neck,
also the band across the front to guard
the chin and mouth from the wintry
blssts-snd all this for half an hour in
the hottest Of June weather. Think OF
the thermometer at Ito in the shade
and that nan at l.47H in the coat, try
ing to breathe with that strap across his
mouth and the corner Of a lapel in each
nostril. and to make things hotter, the
travelling man keeping up a constant fire
Of words. Talk about energy; he's the
"hottest" traveller we've got. The mer-
chant sweat nineteen coats Of persira.

invest. It's a fact; our reporter heard
it was.

Reigle has resided in Red Cloud since
her earliest recollection and has grown
to mature womanhood within the con.
lines OF our city, where she has hosts Of
friends among all classes, and while her
many friends are sorry to lose her from
Red Cloud society, yet they are most
happy to have the honor OF extending
hearty congratulations over the pleasant
event which changed her name from
Miss Addie Reigle to Mrs. Fred Ligget.
The happy couple took the 1890 train
for their future home, Hebron, amidst a
grand shower OF rice, old shoes and best
wishes OF a multitude Of friends and rel.
atives who followed them to the depot.
The wedding was transformations and
was solemnized in the presence Of a very
few friends, by Rev. H. o. Spelman OF

proposed entering +. Netherlands store
to give the thief his chance, but that
wasn't the chance he was looking for.
Giving the wheel a shove into the store.
he took to his heels. with Runchey and
Miller in hot pursuit. The nightwatch
drew his gun and, calling on the fellow
to halt, began firing at his feet, but this
only increased his speed. IL that were
possible. So the race continued a few
blocks. until our fieet.footsd bicycle
rider ran into a wire fence around some
vacant lots and was again taken into
custody. Being only a block from the
Hotel d'Runchey, he was escorted to
that domicile and registered. He gave
his name as F. II. Rutledge, and, from
certain articles found on his person. he
is supposed to be more than a common
thief. He had safe blowers tools, and
newspaper clippings concerning a bank
robbery in Ontario, Canada, with which
il is thought he wa connected. A re.
ward of slO was offered for the wheel
and slO for the thief at Greeley. II the
