Where can pure drugs be pro-

and the messenger is at once de-

necessary to pump as much air as pos
sible into Il tire which has been punct-
ured, stick little tool into the hole
and follow the few simple instructions
in the catalogue. to make a quick, per-
feet and permanent repair, at the road
side
While this tire is having such i'm
mense popularity Morgan & Wright
are not likely to make single-tu tires
which did not succeed even against
the old style of Morgan & Wright
double tube tire
1t is of much interest to bicycle
riders to know the difference between
single tube and double-tub tire
Both tires are really double-tube, but
in the single tuber the inner tube is
vulcanized fast to the outer casing
From the standpoint of Morgan &
Wright, who supply the market with
many more tires than all the other
makers put together, the single-tubeI
is not correct, and they ought to know
as they make what the great majority
want.

A False Rumor.

a paragraph has got started to the
effect that Morgan x Wright makers
of the famous Morgan &; Wright pneu-
matte tire. have turned their atten-
ton to the manufacture of single
tube tire that promises to be a hum
mer." 1t is learned that this report is
absolutely untrue.
The sinele-tube tire makers of
Europe shouted for two seasons and a
half that their tires had only to be
plugged. while the old original. glued
to- the-rm tire had to be torn apart
before a hole could he fixed: but the
old glued to- the rim tire won out, and
in Europe the single tuber has not
been strong competitor for two sea-
sons. The trouble with it is that holes
in the inner tube. which is stuck fast
to the outer casing, cannot be found
easily, and cause the tire to leak con
stantly.
Plugging holes which can be found
is generally only a temporary repair,
as the plugs work loose. There are
exceptions. but this has been the rule
The complaint against the double-tube
tire has been that the inner tube has
to be taken out. Some people would
rather make repair badly. but easily.
than to put in hard work and make q
permanent repair.
The Morgan & Wright quick repair
strip is a boon to these lazy people.

tory to the board of engineers.

RIDES OVER RAILROAD BRIDGES.
Fred McGurney of Portland Tells of and
Demons tratcs His Exploits in Saco.

Sunday there was peculiar visitor il
Saco and one who had remarkable story
to tell. 1t was not much of day fol
bicycle riding bus this man had made 6
great run from Portland. He came be
tween the railroad tracks in just 81
minutes, he said, which must be con
sidered extraordinary riding.
There was another remarkable feature
to the feat and that was that he made
but one dismount on the way. He rode
every bridge and culvert covering from
that city TO this one. Whether this in
Guided the bridge over the Portland back
bay is not known but it is not likely that
the railroad men would allow him to ride
there, neither on any part of the line il
they could stop him.
Bicycle riders who have tried it, agree
that it is very difficult to ride over
sleepers of railroad. for it is rough and
hard and besides being uncomfortable,
is very tiresoIne to the riGer. Yet this
man.olaims the championship of the state
as a railroad rider and when it comes so
bridges be is right at home and says he
does not believe there is railroad bridge
in the state that he cannot ride over, the
sleepers being near enough together to
enable him to ride safely.
While this is possible, it is suggested
that be can attain all the notoriety he
desires by riding over the Eastern rail
road bridge in this city or the railroad
bridge at Lewiston. He left for home at
s.25 sunday and proposed to go home in

John Ross was arraignsd before Re-
corder Wey mouth In the Biddeford police
court, nt 2 O'Clock Tuesday afternoon,
charged with the larceny of brindle
bull dog and collar. which were the
property of Patrick Murphy. E. J. Gram
appeared for Foss, while Lawyer CIeaves
looked after the States interests. There
was big crowd present in the court
room.
The best part of the afternoon was
taken up in conversation between the
court, the attorneys and Deputies Stack
pole and Cote. as to whether dog is a
domestic animal, and whether terrier
without COLLAR duly inscribed with a
mum Der and the owners name has
sufficient standing in the community or
in the eye of the law to be subject of
larceny, Lawyer Cram found flaws in
the warrant styling the dog domes-
tic animal and negleoting TO say whether
the collar was marked with the name of
the owner and numbered. He claimed
that Judge Appleton has decided that a
dog is not domestic animal. and that
the law expressly says the description
of the collar shall be given in the war
rant
Lawyer Cleaves said he had been called
into the case suddenly and hadn't looked
up the law on dogs carefully, but he ex.
pressed sympathy for the dog because
he owns one himself, and would be ex-
tre.nely out up If any Intoxicated person
should lead his dog away by piece OF
string.
The case was continued for one week
at the request of tho counsel. so that
tbev could look up the law. Foss was
LEFT 20 on his own personal recognizance.
