Only Sixteen of the Twenty-Five En-
 tered Now In the Race.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-The opening of the second 24 hours of the G-day bicycle contest at Madison Square garden found the roll of competitors sadly depleted. Of the original % entries only 16 re- mained, and it's good betting less than half of this number will be in the race at the finish Hale, the Irishman, who led yesterday, and broke record after record, was fresh and hopeful of suc- cess this morning He took little nap during the early morning. but managed to add 76 miles to his credit between 8 and 9 o'clock. Experts at the garden say, however. that he will not last six days, albeit there is nothing in his ap- pearance now to warrant that assertion.
 Bedding, the Nebraska man, broke all records yesterday for continuous rid ing and was within score of miles of the Irish champion at 9 O. clock, but gave evidence of breaking up.
 It would surprise nobody to see Ma jor' Taylor. colored, capture first money, He was within 32 miles of the leader al o'clock, and seemed as fresh as when he started At 10 o'clock Hale led with 3d6 miles

WHISKEY DID IT.
The Death of a Little Child Results
 From Drinking whlskey.

Today the GRAPHIC reporter learns of the extremely sad cause of the deatE of the little five-year-old child of Mir. and Mrs. Joe Woskoskie, which occurred Saturday night. Mir. WoskC skie is an employe of the Gotten Belt shops at this place, and with his family lives in the East End. AS the reporter is informed, during last Saturday, the little five-year-old child of the couple got hold of a bottle of whiskey that was kept in the house, and started to drink some of it. The mother saw the act and took the bottle away from her child and set on a shelf and warned the little one to let 1t alone. A short time after this the mother crossed the street to visit neighbor and left the child ih the room which con- tained the whiskey. It seems that as soon as the mother left the room the child again secured the bottle of WHlSkey dud ufdHk d large amount of the fiery stuff. When the mother returned home the child was lying on the floor, apparently asleep. It did not wake up and the mother be- came uneasy and made an investiga- tion, and found that the child had drank the whiskey and was in q most pitiable condition. A physi- elan was summoned, but when he arrived the little unfortunate was in convulsions, which resulted in it's death during the night.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

At this time of the year cold is very easily contracted, and if left to run it's course without the aid of some reliable cough medicine is liable to result in that dread disease, pneu- monia. We know of no better rem edy to cure a cough or cold than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. We have used it quite extensively and it has always given entire satifac- tion.-Olagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
 This is the only remedy that is known to be certain preventive of pneumonia. Among the many thousands who have used it for colds and la grippe, we have never yet learned of a single ease having resulted in pneumonia. Persons who have weak lungs or have reason to fear an attack of pneumonia, should keep the remedy at hand. The ? and 30 cent sizes for sale by w. l.. De- woody & Co., Druggists. 12-1 I'm
