The HARD TIMES.
A Minister'S Sermon on the bicycle
Severely Criticised.

-"iiiStei ser mon on the bicycle
Severely Criticised
York, Ia. wheelman finds an Oh
portunity TO air his views ON the hard times
IN the sermon lately preached by a Phila-
dclphia minister. This divine took for
the subject OF his discourse the topic.
"WhathaS caused the hard times Among
other things, he said.
''One cause of the present hard times
l believe To be the bicycle craze, which
took firm hold OF the people about five
years ago Since then about ST. ,Cue.uOO
have been invested by the people OF this
city in bicycles. By that amount other
trades have been injured. In this city.
10000 bicycles have been recently pur-
chased at an average outlay OF about $50
each. This expenditure has caused a
great falling off in the business of the
Jeweler, the costume maker and persons
VINO are engaged in other business The
people are now face 10 facc with a very
hard winter" The Critic has this to saw
IN the manufacture Of bicycles thousands
OF men are given employment, and
thousands of men are given work in re-
pair shops Doesn't this mean anything?
LAS to the suffering OF the jeweler, a
man has i right to his free choice between
the purchase of a bicycle or a watch or q
diamond ring. How many wheelmen have
no time-picce at the present time? Three
years ago / bought a watch when / had
two, and in all this time the repairs were
nothing, while the repairs on my bicycle.
which / purchased TWO years ago, were
St6.75. Now, which one of the two, my
watch or my bicycle, shall he condemned
for the hard times? The man that rides
Il bicycle does not loaf in saloons, W while the
man that wears watch may.
Now. as to the CnsIuIue maker nearly
every bicycle rider today has an extra
suit, hence, extra work and extra money
hat, extra hose, etc.-now, do the manu-
facturers of these articles give no EN- =
ployment? Strange that there are still
so many people who are determined in
making the public believe that the bi-
cycle comes from the devil, when it is
only too true that he holds none of the
inventions. The bicycle has ONE to
stay. though there an. some who have not
as yet been converted to the use of the
bike Thousands of men today are en-
played in the manufacturing and in the re-
pairing of thesr innocent wheels. which
hav e taken men from the slums and caused
them to go out and inhale good. fresh
country air. The bicycle, therefore, In
my mind. is not the cause of our present
financial depression, nor is it one of the
causes"

CHAMPAGNE WILL BE CHEAP.
Ten Thousand Quarts UnlOsded in a
Lump on the French Market.

A great stir has been created in tie
European wine trade by the throwing upon
the market, at auction, in one sale, of
10 900 dozen quart bottles of champagne.
Consul Meeker, at Bradford, in reporting
the fact TO the State department, says
that tins wine, which is first quality
French vintage, was taken in trust by
New York banking house from celebrated
w.ne firm of New York, and, finding it
necessary to realize, they preferred TO
sell 1t abroad rather than upset values at
home.
AT retail in the United States this wine
would BRING from $3.50 900 to S5UO, 900,
but the British and French experts, who
feel that 1t is livery serious thing that
so much champagne should be thrown on
the market at one time and in such a
manner, predict that it will not realize
more thar $4,000.

CROP REPORT.
CENTRAL STATION,

CENTRAL STATION,
DES MONIES, Iowa, April II, 1896
The daily excess Of temperature ailr-
ing the past week ranged from three
nine degrees, and there was an aver
age amount Of sunshine.
The rainfall was considerably above
the normal In the northern and central
districts. For the month OF April the
total precipitation is now from one to
three inches above the normal for the
state at large, and in all sections there
is an ample reserve of moisture In the
soil and subsoil.
These favorable conditions have
brought all forms Of vegetation for
ward with unusual rapidity, aud in
respect to the growth of plants and
foliage the season is now earlier than
the average. Oats, barley, spring
wheat, fall wheat and rye have been
greatly benefited, and In al sections
of the state pasturage is now ample
for the support of stock. HI.
Farm work has been vigorously
pushed and large area Is ready for
planting. Some corn has been planted
In the southern districts, and with
favorable weather this weather this
work will be quite general within the
coming week. A good beginning has
been made in planting potatoes.
The light frosts reported on the
mornings of the 22d and 23d did no
damage and the fruit prospects con-
tinue to be quite promising. a .

the TRANsnlssIPPI EXPOSITION.

Never has there been anything sug-
gested that will bring rs many people
into Nebraska as the proposed Trans
missippi exposition TO be held ut
Omaha IN 1898. Since the government
voted $500, 900 for its buildings and ex-
hibit it has become an assured fact.
LII order to make the exposition II
success III every particular it will be
necessary to keep the people all over
the country thoroughly posted on its
possibilities, its deveiopement and pro-
greSs. Every citizen Of Nebraska
should make it his business to let his
friends in all parts Of the country un-
derstmd that this enterprise Is to he
second only to the great Chicago Co
lumbar exposition of 1888
The Omaha Bee proposed to devote
considerable space from now OIL to
this great enterprise, knowing that a
great deal of publicity will be neces-
sary to bring the people here at t he
right time.
1t lids been suggested that rate be
made for subscriptions to the Bee that
will give everybody an opportunity to
send one or more papers to friends III
other states. Acting OH this sugges-
ton the publishers of the Weekly Bee
have decided to make price of 20
cents for that paper, mailed to any adj
dress i'm the country from the present
time up to January l, 1897. This price
hardly covers the cost Of the white
paper used in printing twelve page
paper for this length of time, but the
publishers feel that the great exposi-
tion must be properly advertised and
are willing to do their share toward
helping along An enterprise that is
bound to be a great benefit to this
state, as well as to the entire western
country Orders should be addressed
to the Weekly Bee, Omaha, Neb.
