In Me,nOri0n- Frank MARKHAM,

The community was shocked to
hear of the death on Sunday after
noon last, May "a. 1896, of Frank
Markham, a member of one of the
Oldest pioneer families ON Camas
prairie. The deceased was one of
the crew who started in to open
the road to Florence during tho
winter months, and upon his ar
rival in camp he contemplated
erecting a building and engaging
in the butcher business. He was
taken down with a severe cold con-
tracted on the trip, and in the rig
erous altitude of the camp it
speedily developed into pneumo-
MIA. His condition was SO serious
that he was removed to Grange
vile last week, arriving at his
home on Wednesday. For awhile
it looked as ifhe would recover in
the milder atmosphere of Camas
prairie. but on Sunday he took %
relapse and expired very suddenly
on the afternoon of the Sabbath.
Frank Markham was born in
Douglas county, Oregon, where his
parents were among the early
pioneers. The family removed to
Camas prairie in 1866 and have
ever since resided on their lovely
farms mile north of Grangeville,
where in later years Frank estab-
lished his home on land imme-
diately adjoining the old Mark
ham homestead. He was married
February ID, 1886, to Miss Luella
Green, and three children, one of
them a babe only two months old,
were the issue of the union. Mr..
Markham was in every sense of the
word, a good, upright, honorable
and esteemed citizen, a dutiful
son, loving husband and father
and an ever kind, thoughtful and
considerate neighbor in his deal
ings with his fellow men. The re-
spect in which he was held was
attested by the very large con-
course of his fellow farmers who
attended the funeral services at
the Episcopal church ON Tuesday.
To the immediate circle of his sor-
rowing family and relatives we
extend the heartfelt sympathy of
this community in the sudden
taking-off of our friend in the very
prime of his life. At such times
words of comfort and sympathy
fall coldly upon the ear, and all
that can be done is to let grief
have its way and trust to the
softening influences of time to heal
the blow and bow our hearts in
humble submission to the Divine
will who chasteneth whom he
loveth.

CIRCUIT RACE MEET.
Arrange nents Being Completed for
This Important Event.

The coming circuit race meet is the sub
ject of considerable talk among wheelmen
of the town. 1t is only a matter of two
time draws near. Everybody expects to
see the best races of the season and get
glimpse of the celebrated riders of the
country. In the event of bad weather the
management has made all arrangements
so that the meet can be postponed until the
next day, the tickets for the first day hold
ing good.
The entries to the meet will close next
week, and, SO far, most of the leading
cracks have entered. The entries from the
local riders and those of Baltimore and
surrounding towns are coming in very
slowly. So far entries have been received
from Bald. Cooper, kiser Gardner, Clark
Kimble, Wells. Pat O'Connor, Fred Allen,
Charley Church. W. r. Lands and Bob
McCurdy. The Morgan and Wright people
have written that their whole team of
fourteen riders will enter. Sanger viii not
be present, as he has left the circuit for
good for the balance of this season.
! The work on the programs for the meet
has been commenced, and they will be
| rather elaborate. Following the custom es-
! tablished at all circuit meets, and in force
in almost every other city in the coun-
; try, except Washington, the programs will
oe sold as souvenirs of the occasion
! Twelve hundred seats in the grand stand
! have been reserved, and already about hal
t that number have been disposed Of and
nearly all of the private boxes, which hold
six persons each. The Miles Cycle Infantry

other clubs of the city will attend as or

would have been awarded but for a letter
received by Mr.. j. p. Clark, the president
Of the park company, during the week The
letter was from Chairman Gideon OF the
league racing board. and in a very polite
way he spoke of the prize offered the letter
being devoted entirely to that subject
Mr.. Gideon states that while the park
company had a perfect right to give a share
of stock as a prize, there being nothing in
the racing rules to prohibit II, the receiver
OF the prize would be apt to get into trou-
BILE. II the winner sold the share of stock
or even If he kept ii in his possession until
a dividend was declared, IL would be suffi-
cient to place him in the professional ranks.
This was fine ruling, and was merely Of
fered as suggestion. In order to keep
Mudd out of trouble he was shown the>let-
ter Of Chairman Gideon and asked If he
would care for the stock in the face of Mr..
Gideon's statements, or IL he would prefer
prize equal in value to the share of stock
He chose the latter course, and was given
a pretty cameo ring, valued at exactly the
same as the stock.

DANGER TO CYCLERS
In the Cool Evenings Which Tempt
to Rapid Riding.


While this is the season of the year best
adapted for bicycle riding, il is not without
its dangers which the cyclist, especially
the novice, will have to avoid. While the
cool evenings make riding on the road de-
good rate of speed in order to keep warm,
care should be taken that no harm
results from this exercise. For a long time
in the early part of the history of the
safety there was an objection against the
Use of the wheel because it was such an
easy means Of catching, a cold. While this
is purely the fault of the rider, the blame
was attached to the machine, and the wheel
suffered thereby to some extent Now the
pee ple have come 10 realize that II is i'm
possible for the wheel to cause he rider
t. catch cold, and this is one step in the
advancement Of the popularity OF the bl-
cycle.
" bile the weather encourages faster rid
ing than ordinary, one should look out SO
as not 10 get in perspiratio1. with
new riders this is a comparatively diiiicult
thing, for they have not m ,stered the
science of riding a wheel to make IL en-
tireIy pleasure. instead of half work and
half pleasure. So long as one is riding
there is very little danger of catching cold.
Ii is when the step is made that the dan
ger occurs though tie rider at the time is
unaware of the danger.
After stopping ride it is wise pre-
caution to pull up the collar of the sweat
er and button the coat. This may prove
a little inconvenicnt at first, but the feel
ing W ill soon wear off. Keep the coat but
tol ed and the collar of the sweater up
when you remount the wheel. and do not
or.E up again until you have ridden half
mile or SO. II the coat is thrown open
imme dia tely on remounting the rider is
very apt to feel the cold strike his breast,
especially if the night be the least bit chill
ly. If this advice is followed there will be
no danger of catching a cold

PRIVATE INFORMATION.
About Bicycle Riders aud Events fin
This City.

This City.
Who is the informant that keeps the
chairman Of the racing board familiar with
the events going on In the city? This is
question which the bicycle riders of the
city, especially the racing men, are asking
each other. No one knows, and. in view
of the secrecy maintained in the matter.
no one will find out unless ii be bv acci-
dent. Chairman Gideon will not tell, and
there is a very small probability of the
informant giving himself away. That there
is such one there is no doubt, and this
has been demonstrated by more than one
occurrence of late. Immediately after a
race meet the referee is obliged to send a
report to the chairman of the racing board,
but his report is official and contains moth
ing that is underhanded or mean. or that
cannot be made public. The person who
has been keeping Mr.. Gideon in a close
touch with the affairs of the District is
somebody else.
From statements made by those in
terested, the work of this particular in
forr2ant would not be so bad if he con-
fined himself strictly to facts. 1t is as
serted that this is something the unknown
does not do, but that he embellishes his
matter to suit his own fancy and preju-
dice. According to Chairman Gideons own
statements, he has been receiving COM
munications from some local person, out
side OF an official capacity. He stated this
much to Fred Sims last week, though he
refused to give the name of the individual.
AT several of the race meets at the Inter
national Athletic Park complaints have
been lodged by this highly moral person.
as Mr. Gideon expressed himself in let
ter one of the complaints was about the
selling of beer the premises, and the
other about offering share of stock a
prize in one of the race meets. There have
been several other complaints filed with
the chairman of the racing board. but
:v,afa ri urss
at the present time the wheelmen are en-
deavorng to ferret out the matter.

Cycle track in Baltimore, in the face of a
heavy wind.
Washington race-goers and bicycle riders
will remember his wonderful speed during
|. the races held here last season, partcu-
larly at the opening of the Columbia Ath-
letic Club track on Decoration day, and
the Washington road races of last fall.
His friends expected him to develop into a
world beater this year, but just he
started to do some preliminary work in the
early spring he was stricken down with
severe attack of rheumatism. that con-
fined him TO his home, and he was obliged
to walk on crutches for nearly three
! months. Nothing daunted. however and
! before having fully recovered. he began
training month ago under the able direc
ton of Capt. W. NJ. Mackdermott, better
known as Father Mac, the war horse of
Maryland athletics. of the Maryland Ath-
letic Club. For the first time in Leather
berry's career, he has the advantage of
| being Systematically coached and handled
by one who thoroughly understands the
proper methods of training, and all that
pertains to the physical conditioning Of
athletes in any branch of sport.
Capt. Mackdermntt has held the amateur
all-around championship of Maryland for
over ten years, besides being one of the
best-known amateurs in Maryland, having
been a prom inent member of the Manhat-
tan Athletic Club of New York for SIX
years. and the winner CT over one hun
| dred and thirty prizes. He is also noted
| a discoverer and developer of novices
| he has superior. Under Father Macs
! strict coaching and watchful eye Leather
berry'S improvement has been nothing
short of marvellous. From being scarcely
| able to sit on wheel four weeks ago. he
| is almost, if not quite, as fast as he
| was last season. and. unless some unfore
seen accident occurs, he will be showing
| his rear wheel To the fastest men here
| about ti1e>fore part Of Iext month. Balti-
| moreans are sure that with Leatherberry
| in shape they would have easily captured
! the intercity races. His first appearance
on the track this season was in the inter-
| city race held in Baltimore, September ).
| when he finished fourth. close up, the men
| being punched at the tape.
| Clarence NJ. Knight, the other member
| of the team, is another man who is show
