.ON THE
OF THE
TRIBUNE WHEELS.

The Scientific American,
which everyone acknowledges
as the leading scientific paper
in the United States, devoteS
nearly page of its issue of
January 4th to the considera-
ton of bicycles. 1t selected
the Tribune as the highest
type of the best American
wheel made today. 1t says:
within the past three years,
the American bicycle industry
has grown up to dimensions
which fairly entitle it to be
considered representative Of the
country and of the day. Every
day sees hundreds Of wheels
of high and low grade made in
the factories of this country for
the American and foreign mar
ket. Three years ago the
English bicycle was consider
ed by many the best wheel,
and the possessor of such was
apt to consider himself better
equipped than his friend who
rode one of American manu-
facture. Now, all is changed.
A visitor to England or to the
Continent, if a cycling enthu-
SiaSt, cannot fail to be impress
ed by the superiority of Amer
lean wheels as contrasted with
the foreign ones, and no wheel
man really au fat in his sub
ject would dream of buying
his wheel abroad, so superior
is the American make. The
industry has brought about an
enormous development in the
manufacture of special tools
and of parts of bicycles.
Many assumed bicycle man.
ufacturers simply buy these
parts and do their own as
Sembling. But for the produc-
ton of the absolutely high
grade American bicycle, a
factory is required which will
turn out practically all the
parts of the wheel manufac-
tured, for unless such is done
one concern cannot be answer
able for the perfection of the
whole machine.
We select as the representa-
tive of such a factory the works
of the Black Manufacturing
Company, of Erie, Pa, a COM
pany which produce the high
est grade of wheel and which
put it on the market purely on
its merits without the adventi-
tious advertisement of paid
riders. The wheel made by
this company, the Tribune
Bicycle" embodies the best
possible practice and is cores
pondingly free from structural
variations of improved merit"
Such praise from such a
high source should satisfy any
one of the superior merits of
the Tribune wheels.
We have them in all varieties
of the 1896 patterns, in Tan
dems, Racers, Ladies or gents
wheels, and shall be happy to
show the 1896 Improvements
to intending purchasers.

AT REST.
Funeral Services Yesterday of the
Late Mrs. G. A. Ottmann.

Il am the resurrection and the life,
saith the Lord. He that believeth in
me, though he We're dead, yet shall he
live, and whosoever liveth and be-
lieveth in me shall never die"
So chanted two white-robed priests
at the entrance to ST. PauIs Church
yesterday afternoon, as the remains Of
the late Caroline S. Ottmann were
borne over the threshold of the church
she loved so well. The deep tones of
the organ sounded in Chopins Funeral
March," and the two priests led the
procession to the altar, continuing to
chant the beautiful sentences that open
the Episcopal burial service. The late
afternoon sun, as it Shone through the
many colored prisms of the memorial
windows cast a soft and beautiful light
over the handsomely decorated chan
eel
The two clergymen took their stations
and the Rev. J. A. Emery of the Church
of the Advent, San Francisco, continued
the service. The burial chant was sung
by a choir composed of Messrs. Cohn,
Crocker, Genshlea, Kidder and Owens.
Flee as a Bird" a solo, was sung by
Mr.. Cohn. "Oh, Mother, Dear Jerusa-
lem" was rendered by the choir. Then
the final prayer was said, the organ
sounded in HandeFs Dead March in
SAUL" and Rev. Mr.. Emery, accompan-
led by Mr. George, led the recession.
AT the grave the members of St. Ag
neS' Chapter of the Daughters of the
King passed around the newly made
grave, each placing a bunch Of flowers
thereon. The final prayer was said, the
mourning family, and the friends de-
parted.
The flowers were beautiful to behold.
The prevailing color was purple, the fa-
vorite of the deceased, and the purple
asters amongst the white produced a
pleasing effect.

Judge s. A. Kingman Talks of His Early
Associate, General Ewing.
A good many Topeka people were
touched with memories when they read
last evening that General Thomas Ewing
of New, York was dead.
Judge 5. A. Kingman. who In 1861 was
an associate justice of the territorial SUI
preme court when General Ewing was
chief justice, said of him: HE was a
man of the most splendid qualities; one
who commanded the respect and
admiration of all who knew him.
About his name are clustered the memory
of deeds that were brave and true aud
able. He was courteous man, but not
one mention of whom would bring up the
foods of personal anecdote that can be
called up of most early Kansas heroes.
POSSIBLY he did the best of his deeds
for Kansas when he signed "Order No.
H." by which seven counties on the Dor
der of Missouri were depopulated during
the war. We were in bad straits then,
and that one order saved and made Kan
sas. Had it not been for that, there
would be different Kansas now"

unable for months to see another woman's
sympathetic face.
