will keep the tires properly inflated
with air without any aid from the rider.
Another automatic attachment is a
bicycle brake which operates in its own
peculiar way. 1t comprises rock shaft,
carrying a brake shoe, situated between
the sprocket wheel and the rear wheel
of the bicycle. By means of \ leaf

Water Pressure Air Pump.

An airpump of considerable novelty
has recently been put on the market.
1t is designed particularly for the large
bicycle stores and repair shops where
frequent use is made of tire inflators.
This device works by water pressure
and has a reservoir attached, which the
running liquid keeps filled with air.
All that is needed to initiate a tire at any
time is to make the connection and turn
on the air. The water does the rest.

THE LATEST PARASOLS.
More Gorgeous and Dainty This Season
Than Ever Before.


Than Ever Before.
Parasols have blossomed out more
gorgeous than ever this season, and ma
terials are employed which never en-
tered into their construction in years
gone by. Rich, soft tints, rather than
bright, glazing colors, are most fash
ionable, and Dresden lowered and
chine patterned taffetas and brocaded
silks make the most useful parasols,
which in some instances match the cos
tune. But this is not considered nee
essary to good style, as one lowered
silk parasol, well chosen, is equally
pretty with many different gowns.
Parasols of grass linen come in great
variety, and they are extremely useful,

The State of Minnesota has ALWAYS
been fortunate in the choice of its exc
cutive officers, as in it's whole history of
It's line OF governors, there is not one
against whom any scandal or official
wrong-doing attaches. The present
executive of the State, Gov. Clougb, has
successfully and honorably anaged
the affairs of the State and executed the
laws as he has found them There is no
good reason why the State this fall
should make any change. While Clough
may not be college bred, or belong to
any silk stocking club. he possesses an
abundance of good sense and practical
business tact, which goes far to make
him safe man in the position he now
occupies. HSstands close to the farmers

has grown up and whose trials and
