slip. Get in line and help the matter
along.
Senator Timme has the thanks of
this Office for copy of the Wisconsin
state census report for 1895. 1t is
most complete work Of more than one
thousand pages, and will prove of
great value as a work of reference.
I'm Bavaria the police will allow no
woman to appear in public on bicy-
Gle unless she holds a certificate of eff
ficiency. To obtain one, she must first
ride before the police officials in a
crowd of other candidates without fall
ing or running into any one.
The first wooden framed wheel
made it's appearance on our streets to-
day. 1t was ridden by travelling
salesman. One would not have known
it was wooden framed if he had not
been told. The wood was so covered
with paint that it looked like any other
wheel.
In the report of the arrest made
by a United States deputy marshal
Tuesday the name of the girl arrested
should have been Anna Frechau. 1t
was Miss Staude who received the let
ter. The letter was sent Miss Staude
April 20. The prisoner was taken be-
fore United States Court Commissioner
Wentworth at Racine.
The judiciary committee of the
common council, to whom was referred
the petition of the Sterling employees
regarding the use of sidewalks for
wheels, will make a report to the
council recommending that the present
ordinance remain as it is, but that the
police use discretion as to it's en-
forcement. Just what is meant by this
discretion it will be hard to under
l Sc q
by the committee. The council may
accept or reject it.
An examination of list of the
various kinds of bicycles made in this
country, compiled by an expert last
year, $50 gives different names. 1t is
true that a number of the companies
placing these wheels on the market
own and sell more than one kind, but
it is also true that large number of
bicycles are not named at all. In Feb
ruary last there were l,142 different
kinds of wheels made and registered in
| this country. In other words, within
three months time 300 new makes of
bicycles were placed on the market.
One of the we'll known editors of
this city, one who has been preaching
the strongest sermons against the sa-
blooms, was seen ON his knees on the
Pavement before one of the most prom
inent of these institutions On Main
street this noon. Just at that moment
most Of our people were about their
tables interested in gastronomic appli-
cations for the stomach when this &C.
Cured. so that there were few who saw
the strange sight. Those who were
within eye sight, however, looked, even
stared. 1t was so uncommon sight
that EXPLANATIONS of amaZement were
uttered. Was he really about to pray
for those saloonkeepers? The pave
ment was dry. The warm sun beat
down with radiance and effulgence
about the place. The quiet Of bril-
liant June morning in the country
reigned. All in nature was beauty,
peace and quiet. The scene was an
impressive one, and the editor seemed
very intent. He leaned forward until
his head almost touched the curb,
when 10! it turned out there was some
thing in The sewer he wanted. A boy
got him rake and he fshed it out. 1t
was something which belonged TO the
boy, and in the kindness of lis beart
the editor had simply helped him get
it out from where it had fallen. 1t
was mighty good deed, anyhow.
