THE STERLING BICYCLE.
What Mr.. Rech. of Philadelphia, Says
About Bicycles.

What mr. Reoh. of Philadelphia. Says
About Bicycles.
Yost- Forrer Co.:
GENTLEMEN:-Replying to yours of
the 18th. We haze handled the Sterl-
Ing Bicycle since 1893 and have every
reason to be satisfied with It. We have
done an increasing business each year
and can name no more encouraging
proof OF the satisfaction the Sterling
has given us than to state that we will
handle the Sterling exclusively this
year.
The Sterling hss scored hit not only
in the Century Club" but everywhere
IL has gone. There were only about
forty men who went on the European
tour, about ten CT whom rode Sterling
wheels. We have sold more than one
half OF the go wheels TO those thathAve
gone into the Century Club" this year,
which we feel proud OF as there are ct
least twenty different cycle houses
that have representatives belonging to
this club, which we suppose you sill are
aware is probably the largest and most
influential cycle club In America.
49,, Very truly,
(Slgned JACOB RECH Il Sons.

on His Way Homeward.
Denver, Col, July 2.-Senator Henry
NJ. Teller could have aroused the west
to no greater demonstrations of sp-
proval had he been sovereign of an
empire or president of republic. All
Tuesday night his progress west from
Omaha along the line of the Union
Pacific was marked by noisy demon
STATIONS at every stopping point in
Nebraska. Bands met him with ener-
getic martial and patriotic airs, crowds
cheered and demanded a speech, and at
many places the senator was fairly
dragged from the train, mounted upon
boxes where he could be seen as he
thanked the people for their good feel
ings towards him and the cause he has
been championing. 1t was long after
midnight before his party or any other
passengers on the train could take any
comfort or rest.
