Pneumatic Tires in Germany.

The former manager of big Euro
pean cycle goods distributing and
importing concern writes to an
American cycling journal, advising
American bicycle manufacturers not
to waste time and money in try
ing to force single-tube tires upon
European riders, in Europe, tires
with removable inner tubes Called
double. tube tires,) were long ago
found to be the only practical, money
saving form Of tire. In speaking of
a journey of inspection throughout
Europe, the eX-manager refers to
Germany as follows.
- In most of the cities ]
visited, the repairmen had formed
small local and anti-single-tube
leagues, each man vowing not to
mend or repair hose pipe, however
touching the appeal of the unfortu-
nate customer who happened to
puncture his tire, and however
tempting the remuneration offered.
The Germans are great talk
ers, and even in cities like Hamburg
rumors of the single tube "humbug''
have been circulated with amazing
rapidity, from the artisans ''wirth-
schaft'' and the gentlemen's "wein

Serious Runaway.

Last Monday morning while load
ing lumber at the Wabash depot
Wills. Brown was the victim of run.
away and was seriously injured. He
was standing at the head of team
of horses hitched to a heavy lumber
wagon, when the east bound s o'clock
passenger whistled for the crossing.
This frightened the horses and they
began to rear and back away. Mr..
Brown finding he was unable to hold
them by the bits made leap for the
tongue to climb on their backs. He
missed his footing and fell under
the horses who trampled on'him and
hauled the heavy wagon across his
right leg before he could eXtricate
himself. He was taken to his home
above A. Bradley's grocery and DIR.
Chas. Harrison summoned. The leg
suffered a compound fracture, piece
of bone about six inches long being
crosswise in the leg. The fracture
was set but on account of the
mashed condition of the bone it is
hard to say whether it will heal or
not. Mr.. Brown was in the employ
of Thiesen & Hildred at the time OF
the accident.

VAN VERT PLEASANTLY.
Fifteen Hundred Young Birds
and Three Thousand Eggs
Hatching.

The Ohio State Pleasantly, located
a short distance north of Van Vert,
and established for the propagation
of birds to be turned loose through
out the state, has grown by additions
made from year to year to large pro-
portions. At this time there are
1900 young pheasants in the yards,
and some 5000 eggs have been set,
and will hatch in few days.
The setting is done by hens pur-
chased from farmers. After hatch
ing, three to five broods are COM
bined, and the family is given to a
hen to raise. The feeding is done by
experts, and is one of the most i'm
portant duties on the farm. At this
time ten gallons of milk and ten doz-
en- hens eggs are daily cooked into
custard and fed to the little pheas-
ants. The feeding, at regular inter
walls, is done five times each day.
When six weeks old the birds are
fed, in addition to the custard,
mashed potatoes, hemp and canary
seed. Later they are turned out to
scatter for themselves. Some forty
to fifty gallons of milk and as many
dozen eggs will be used daily TO
make feed when all the eggs now un.
der hens are Matched.
The young pheasants are timid and
easily frightened by strange faces.
When scared they hide under large
leaves, tufts of grass and other
places, and often are stepped on and
killed. For this reason the board oi
game commissioners have ordered
that all strangers be excluded from
the grounds until the birds are sever.
al months old. Then the public will
be admitted to the grounds. Many
censure Commissioner Shors for en-
forcing this rule, but it is a matter
over which he has no control.-Van
Vert Bulletin.

Beginning Early in Life.

The vicinity of Grelton had a
genuine case of holdup last week, all
the parties interested being boys of
not over ten years of age. Lads by
the name of Hollopeter and Meade
had been picking Strawberries for
Ephriam Hollopeter, and while on
their way home were held up by two
Youngsters not yet in their teens who
demanded their money, the would-b be
highway robbers thinking the boys
had received their pay for their labor,
and they wanted it. Luckily the
lads had no money about their per-
sons and the young robbers had
their trouble for nothing. We
Withhold the names of the boys out of
respect for their parents, but should
they persist in their business we can
assure them that they will not only
find their names in the papers, but
they will also find a home in the
penitentiary. Their little escapade
no doubt was learned through the
reading of yellow back literature,
which the average boy has continu-
ally in his hands. Boys, discard the
yellow back and read the newspa-
pers.

Mr.. Isaac Horner. proprietor of the

one of the most widely known men in
the state was cured of rheumatism
after three years of suffering. He
says: II have not sufficient command

me of my suffering. In June, 1894,

Chamberlain Pain, Balm. At this
