If you are devotee of the bicycle
you can neither hear too much nor say
too much in its favor; and If you are
just learning To ride a wheel, or are
thinking about doing so, naturally you
are DESTROYS of knowing all you can of
the experience and opinions of those who
have become experts. Everybody rides
Il "silent steed, or, from present in
dications, will before the summer is
over, therefore, everyone will be in
terested in "What Are the Benefits of

thusiastic advocates of cycling as DIR,
Edward Payson Fowler, Dr. A. Conan
Doyle, David Christie Murray, and DIR.
Grace Pc khan Murray give their views
regarding it. IT'S interesting reading,

matte Company, which is playing an engage
ment in this city, went on spree yesterday.
He quarreled with his wife in their room

She ran out of the room, when Forbes
drew a revolver and fired at her, the bullet
striking her in the left side, two inches
above the hip bone, passing through heI

Deputy Sheriff Halliday, who was at the
hotel when the shooting occurred, attempted
