MISLEADING.

The announcement in one OF the daily
papers that Mr.. L. G. NJ. Baldwin of
this city had been sued by the Daven-
port Savings bank was misleading in
several respects. The amount sued for
was only $3.50 instead of 10000 as
stated. The suit was not against Mr..
Baldwin personally, and is not his per-
sonal obligation, but against him and
the Pitcher Baldwin Co. in conjunction,
the latter a real estate corpol alton of
this city, of which MIR. Baldwin was a
member, and was brought by the bank
at the request Of the company in order
to effect a settlement OF some old claims,
without long circuitous litigation. 1t
is to be regretted that such misleading
items are allowed to creep in the col
umns Of the daily press when little in
vestigation would furnish the proper in
formation.

MORE INTEREST IN THE CONTEST.

THE COURIER cycle contest assumes
q new phase this week. A new candi'
date appears in the work for the Lady's
wheel and the other candidates have ad-
vanced some in the number Of votes.
The COURIER wishes to call special
attention TO the two wheels offered in
it's contest as compared with those offer
ed by other newspapers in this city.
Low grade wheels of heavy weight are
not up to date and will only prove ele-
phants on the hands Of those who work
for and win them.
The wheels offered by THE COURIER
are the widely known and tested Victor
and Syracuse bicycles. Light in weight,
elegant and substantial in construction,
built by firms Of we'll known integrity
and whose wheels are sought after by
racing men and others who know what
good wheels are. The COURIER wheels
are worth all the effort it will cost any
one to win them.
Do not waste your time entering con-
tests for interior wheels. There are six
weeks vet in which some energetic lady
or gentleman in this city can put in
some effective effort and win a Victor
30 gentleman's wheel or q Syracuse 80
Ledy's bicycle.
The contest is growing warm, but
there is yet time for considerable effort.
The Victor wheel is on exhibition at
FIG. Yule's store at lib North 18th
street, and the Syracuse wheel can be
seen in the window OF the Lincoln Cycle
Company at 2Os So. 1lth street.
The Victor wheel is as every one
knows built by the Overmar wheel
company and is among the best wheels
in the market.
The Syracuse wheel-the Lady's wheel
is built by the Syracuse Cycle Co., Of
Syracuse, New York, and is also in the
top grade Of high grade wheels.
TA,co ,rho o.a uorL:pr morn or xrbo
may go to wo.k for the wheels can dc
90 with the assurance that they are
working for strictly high grade $4,000
wheels. Wheels that are all they are
represented to be and that will give
years OF good substantial service without
breaking down the person who rides
them.

friday night at o'clock.

News comes from vossburg Of an
almost unprecedented desecration by
negroes Of the grave Of woman near
that place, who was buried two years
ago. Several weeks since it was noticed
that the grave had been disturbed, and
the body, in a remarkable state OF
preservation, exposed. Il was supposed
at the time that the work was that Of
parties seeking hidden treasure, but
later developments led to tho arrest OF
Monroe Smith, George Grayson and
Cicero Ullmer. IL seems that these
negroes disinterred the body for tho
purpose Of procuring what Is known
among tho ignorant and superstitious
Of their race as ''conjure' bones, and
also the fourth rib from the left side Of
tho body from which to manufacture
dice, to be used in their crap games, the
negroes believing that dice thus made
would bring them unfailing luck. The
negroes named have all been arrested.
