Bicycles are playing havoc with
the show business in Chicago and all
over the country for that matter.
Actors say this is at present their
greatest obstacle. Theaters all over
are having poor houses now because
there hasn't been much wheeling yet
this summer and these fine nights in
vite it. In Chicago the Schiller theater
is advertising to check wheels, but it
doesn't work.
y An observing farmer is responsible
for the following: When you pass
farm and see large barn and a small
house you may know the man is boss;
when you see a fine house and dilapi
dated barn you may understand that
the woman has things her own way,
and when there is new house and
good barn you may take it for granted
that the woman and man are equals
and work together in harmony.
Mr.. Herzog, of Somers, Kenosha
county, was in the city this afternoon
and says that team of horses owned
by Frank Haney of Paris, Kenosha
county, was struck by the way freight
on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railroad company yesterday afternoon
| I. TToin11 Junction
Both of the horses we're killed and the
wagon wrecked. Haney was thrown
forty feet. His cheek was cut open,
shin split, head cut and he was other
wise injured. Physicians say that his
are dangerous, but hope for recovery.
1t is said that Mr.. Haney was asleep at
the time of the accident and that his
team ran on the track in front OF the
train.-Racine Journal.
While some of the merchants may
cry hard times, there is one class who
do a good business at this time of year,
and that is the druggists who have
soda water fountains. 1t is surprising
the amount of soda water that is con-
sumed in the city during the course of
day and night. Children stop in the
drug stores on their way home from
school, ladies who are out driving drink
it and business men are often seen
stopping for a glass of the cooling
drink to refresh themselves during the
heat of the day. Wheeling and soda
seem to go together, as there is almost
always one or more bicycles in front of
the stores of Hackley, Woodward &
Conley, Hurd. and Starkweather.
The Baraboo Republic says that
Robert L. Scott, a machinist of that
city, has invented perpetual motion
machine. While many minds have
been wrecked through study of per-
petual motion, the Republic says that
Mr.. Scott is not perpetual motion
crank. In conversation with reporter
of that paper he said that " little over
year ago he succeeded in perfecting a
machine which was put in motion al
most ten months ago and has kept up
gait of ten revolutions minute ever
since; the 1astet three monthS Of which IL
has run without oil. The great diff
Guilty now, he says, is that he has not
fully fgnEeH out how Sthe 4naehine 7eanI
scientifically be stopped, other than by
the common brake RODS
