A CHEAP MOTORCYCLE.
One Has Been Invented Which VIII
Be Within the Reach Of the Masses.

Rockport, Ind, June IA H. Ken
nedy of this place has secured a patent
upon a hOrseless vehicle which is
novel idea in that line The distinc-
tive feature Of his invention is that the
motor is separate from the wagon. 1t

nected with it by an upright bar
The motor weighs about 500 pounds
and the power can be furnished by a
storage battery or small engine. 1t can
be used in connection with any vehicle
as only few minutes are required to
make the change from one to another
His invention overcomes the objections
of weight and cost heretofore urged.
The cost VIII not exceed $500.

HE LEFT TOWN IN A RUSH,

One night last week some mis-
chievous boys tied a rosined string
to the window of the old Star saloon
building, occupied by Wau Kee,
the ChiHaaan.ss y l..Ssz- +.ls,c retired
to the top of some freight cars near
the depot and began operation.
For some time there were no result,
then all at once the door opened
and Wau Kee rushed out and
shouted: "Who there?" No an
swer forthcoming, he began throw
ing stovo wood on top of the house.
The noise continuing, he got long
pole and thrashed around under
the house. Still the noise kept up.
Wau Kee then came to the conclu-
sion that it was the work of a devil
and falling on his knees in the
door he offered up prayer to mis-
Joss. The Joss failed to respond,
however, and Wau Kee rushed into
the house and barred the doors, and
nothing the boys could do would
bring him out any more. The next
morning Wau Kee waited on ] M
Kruegar, agent for the house. The
Chinaman looked wild and all
broken up. When Mr. Kruegar
wanted to know what was the mat
ter, he threw up his hands and ex-
claimed: ME wanta leava, Fila
hunderd devils in Data housa. Me
no staya in Data housa anoder
nighta for hunderd .dolla. Devils,

Jonathan Lame TaIks.

Austin, Texas, April 16.-Hon
Janathan Lane, the democratic
wheel horse of Fayette county, is in
the city. Mr. Lane is a man who
always says what he thinks, and it
-is never my s s15-trunbfe tpiffM where
he stands on any political issue. In
speaking Of the congressional situa-
ton in his district Mr. Lane said to
The Express correspondent to-day
that it would be a hard matter just
now to tell who would be the dem
ocratic nominee.
GRESHAM is "a candidate" he
continued, "and while there are
two or three Others that are likely
to be in the race so far they have
not publicly announced Burgess
will be a candidate, and Senators
Shelburne and Simpson have also
been spoken Of"
"Of those mentioned, who stands
the best show?" asked the CORES
respondent.
II think George Burgess. stands
the best show of capturing the
nominations" replied Mr. Lane.
"Gresham can never get it, for he
has less strength in his district now
than he has ever had. Burgess is
a sound money man, is sound on all
public questionsTsnd is extremely
popular with the people. He is the
man the others will have 70 beat,
and they will have to do some tall
rustling to beat him, too"

Mr. Chas Welhausen,
Sinner, Texas,

Sinner, Texas,
Dear Sir:-Your very kind and
complimentary letter of 18th inst
was received few days ago, but I
have been SO busy since its receipts
that l could not reply and thank
you for it before today
1 have received several letters
from different parts of the State
somewhat in the same line rs yours
and feel very much gratified to
know that this subject, the grand
and petit jury system, is receiving
thought and attention from think
ing and observing men. Now, that
the subject has been brought to
the attention of the public, 1 hope
that you and others who favor the
views 1 have advocated, will con-
tribute something on the subject
to the News. l am more than will
ling to contribute my share in the
discussion of this subject, but i
could not hope to accomplish much
without the aid of those who be-
lieve in, and consequently ought to
advocate the same reforms
l have been fighting the grand
Jury system for Is or 20 years, be-
cause, disguised with it 20 odd
years ago. when ! was first with
the grand jury as States attorney.
| have been with grand juries few
times since then as States attorney
1 always made them investigate
both sides as far as possible, and
consequently reduced the number
of bills found, One grand jury
was with found quite number of
bills against my advice, and at the
proper time ] dismissed them all.
In this I was sustained by my own
conscience, and later on by the
public. No one who has never been
with grand juries can form any
idea of the amount of meaness
that is unloaded on them
l have attacked the grand juries
of this county so often, through our
local press, for their foolish, silly
and unauthorized reports,that they
have about quit making them
Including bailiffs, witnesses, etc,
the grand jury of this county costs
about 1880 annually. This money
and great deal more might be
saved by abolishing it
When it comes to petit juries,
thinkingand conservative men have
for years recognized their ineffic-
icncy. The trouble is that people
are welded to the grand and petit
jury systems on account of their
age. when in fact they have nothing
but their age to recommend them.
II will take several years to edu-
cate the people above the jury sys-
tenn, but. if men like yourself, will
lend helping hand, it can be done
Then will civil and criminal cases
be tried and decided on their merits
and justice be done.
Again thanking you for your
complimentary letter, am,
Yours truly,
L, X. TARvRR

NORSEMEN OF MINNESOTA.

And the dwelling of the Ole Bull
Monument.
The Norsemen of Minnesota gathered
by thousands at Minneapolis to honor
the memory of two Of their distin-
guished compatriots, Ole Bull, the great
violinist, whom all the world loved and
honored, and Jacob Fjelde, who had
completed the magnificent marble statue
elected to be all everlasting memento Of
the great musician, and then yielded up
his own life, almost Oh the eve Of the
day when his countrymen were to gath
er and do him honor.
A more fitting time for the unwilling
OF the statue could not have been Sc
lected, for it was the day. that all SONS
Of Norway celebrate, the anniversary of
Norway's release from Danish rule.
The great exposition building was
crowded to the doors.
The singing contest, which was to be
the great feature of the occasion, was
between nine societies, embracing the
Swedish, Norwegian and German ma
tionalities, and while the patriotism Of
the listeners was responsible for large
amount Of applause, this was scarcely
more enthusiastic than that from the
thousands Of people in the hall, who
applauded simply because they appre-
ciated good music.
The DAM orchestra opened the pro-
gramme with Greig's Spring" Agnes
Staberg- Hall followed with Gounod's
waltz. "Romeo ct Juliette'' Then came
the Orpheus society Of Minneapolis, and
rendered Linblad's Heart and Nature"
the Svenska Sangarne of St. Paul, with
"Shepherd's Sabbath Song" Following
these came the other societies of both
cities, with music Of the highest order
much of it from Scandinavian compos-
ers.
The orchestra rendered Greig's beauti-
full composition, "Heartwounds, and
at it's conclusion John w. Arctander
spoke very briefly and asked the
audience not to applaud but to rise as
a testimonial Of sorrow and regard for
the dead, when the statue had been I'M
yelled.
Then followed scene which those in
the audience will never forget. AS the
great audience rose, there foated through
the building the beautiful strains of Ole
Bulls "Chalet Girls Sunday The
audience remained in perfect silence
with bowed heads until the last strains
of the orchestra had died away, when
Miss Caroline Boeckman Of St. Paul,
stepped forward and pulled the cord
which removed the veil from Fjelde's
masterpiece.
The unwilling Of the statue was fol-
lowed by the GRAFTON of the day, deliy-
cred by Ignatius Donnelly.
AS relief from the solemnity of the
occasion, which became somewhat OF
a strain, Agnes Staberg- Hall sang
"L' Africaine,' and the quick movement
Of the air restored the spirits of the au-
dience.
In conclusion, Frank Nye paid brief
but eloquent tribute to the memory OF
Fjelde, and the great audience fled out
