The camel is a beast of great
strength and endurance. Moth
ing hurts it until the proverbial
'1ast straw" is added to it's bur-
den. The human digestive sys-
tenn is very much like a camel.
1t is really astonishing how much
abuse it will stand. Sometimes,
however, something worse than
usual will be eaten, and will go
through the stomache into the
bowels, and there it will stick
that's constipation. Nine-tenths
of all human sickness is due to
constipation. Some of the sim
plest symptoms are coated tongue
and foul breath, dizziness, heart
burn, fiatulence, sallowness, dis
tress after eating, headaches and
lassitude. A little thing will
cause constipation, and a little
thing will relieve it. DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets are n certain
cure for constipation. They arc
tiny, sugar-coated granulcs, mild
and natural in their action. There
is nothing injurious about them.

A GREAT SUCCESS.

AN EXCITING ROAD RACE.

TURES FIRST PRIZE AND FRANK
MATHEWS, OF SANTOS, SECOND
A MAGNIFICENT PARADE IN THE
EVENING AND A FINE ENTER
TAINMENT AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
ELEGANT PRIZES GIVEN AND
MUCH ENTHUSIASM MANIFESTED.
The first annual bicycle tourna-
ment and road race under the
auspices of the Ocala Cycle club
held in this city yesterday was a
grand success in every respect
The weather was as near perfect
as could be and the crowd was
one of the largest ever assembled
on the public square. While
there were a few small accidents
II the races, no one was seriously
injured and everybody seemed to
enjoy the occasion to the full limit
Of their capacity. The town peo-
pie turned out en- masse and the
Ocala House verandaS and court
house lawn were densely crowded
with old and young cheering
their favorites and participating
in the festivities of the occasion.
The members Of the cycle club
worked hard all day and certainly
have reason to feel proud for hav-
ting furnished a day of rare enjoy
ment and excitement for the peo-
pie. They were most ably as
sisted by the entertainment COM
mittee consisting of Messrs. Van
Echop, Norcross and Woodrow
and also by the Ocala Rifles and
the young ladies who labored SO
faithfully at the refreshment
tables.
The parade in the evening was
really fine and would have done
credit to much larger cities.
About fifty cyclers participated
and some of the wheels were dec
GRATED magnificently. In fact
this part of the program far ex-
ceeded expectations and the COM
mittee was not prepared for such
fine display.
AT $3.50 p. M. the time set for
the races to begin, the streets
twere lined with people. The first
; on the list was the boys road race.
1t was two miles from out on the
Silver Springs path through town
to the Ocala House. It was won
by Clifford Anderson in 81 min
utes. Jean Cox was second, T.
A: Lucius third and Alfred Beck
fourth.
The mems road race was next.
1t extended from near Silver
Springs through town and out to
the lime kiln and back to the
Ocala House via, Carmichaels'
corner. It was started a few
minutes after 4 o'clock and the
fourteen riders were sent off at
80 second intervals. Vernie
Roberts was the first to reach
the public square followed closely
by the others Tt was hOtly con-
tested from start to finish and was
won after the hardest kind of a
struggle. AS the boys came fly
ing through town they were loud
ly cheered by their friends. Only
one accident occurred and that
was a collision between Younge
and Anthony in which the latter
was thrown from his wheel and
sustained slight injuries. He
pluckily reinounted and finished
the race and took fourth prize.
The boys crossed the line in good
shape amid the hearty cheers ol
the crowd and when the race was
decided in favor Of Rosie Youngt
his many friends were jubilant,
The next was the slow race or
the square in front of the Ocala
House. After a spirited contest
it was Won by Frank Anthony
