ANOTHER ELECTION ARGUMENT
KNOCKED SENSELESS.

The decision of the Supreme court of
the state, reversing the decision of the
Civil Court of Appeals, in the Grand
jean case, completely knocks in the
head one of the most violent charges
made against Mayor Callaghan during
the city election. st, Mary's street
was opened from Commerce to the riv-
er, in doing this it became necessary
to condemn the Grandjean property;
this was done under Mr.. Callaghan's
former administration. During the Ell
mendorf administration Mrs. Grand
jean sued the city for recovery of the
property, setting up the plea that she
had not been made a party to the
condemnation, and that she was the
sole owner of the property. The facts
disclosed in the case were that Mrs.
Grandjean had accepted $H,5OO, one
half the award: and it looked very
much as If the city, by the decision
of the Court of Civil Appeals, would
lose not only the property but the
money, and would be compelled to
make a new condemnation. 1t was
this condition of the case that came in
to the city campaign and Mr. Gala
CHAN was denounced for doing BUSH
ness in slipshod way and thus in
volving the city in very awkward
and expensive transaction The de-
cision of the Supreme court indicates
Mayor Callaghan. The taxpayers of
this city are to be congratulated upon
the outcome of the suit. Judge Camp
has been sustained in his decision in
the first instance. The city has won
the street, and will not have to pay
for it over again. City Attorney
Minor should not be forgotten for his
able and untiring efforts in behalf of
the city. FL

WHEELING ABROAD.
Advice for Cyclers Who Contemplate
a European Trip.

Advice for Cyclers Who Contemplate
n European Trip.
In q recent number of the L. A. W.
Bulletin there is some interesting in
formation about cycling abroad, and
some. valuable pointers for those who
contemplate such trip. First of all
riders are cautioned against relying on
hiring wheels on the other side. The
wheels are cumbersome and worthless
affairs, and large deposits are required
for their safe return.
The steamships will not carry wheels
unless they are Grated or otherwise in
cased, and the best plan is to put one
pr, two wheels in trunk, well covered
with vaseline and wrapped so as to pro-
tect them from the salt air and spray.
In crates the charge is $3.50, in trunks
they will go as baggage. Do not depend
upon forwarding company to handle
your cycle unless you want to wait a
month for it. One correspondent says:
Under British law every passenger
is entitled to carry 20 cubic feet $500
pounds) of baggage" Another adds:
eff you intend to ride on the conti-
nent, join the Touring Club, de France
before leaving America. League mem
bers will be certified by the 7. c. F. rep
resentative in this country, who is Col.
4. S. Hesseltine, 10 fremont street, Bos-
ton. The club ticket will pass you
through the custom houses of France,
Switzerland and Italy. 1t is said that
at Paris one can get special card of
admission into Belgium from the club
headquarters. 1t is easy to pay duties
at every frontier, but difficult getting
the money back when leaving q coun-
try. There is no duty on bicycles at
British ports The cost of entrance into
the Touring Club de France is s1.5o, or
nearly so. Appoint leader for your
party; then let him ship all the bicycles
in his name. Let him pass them through
the custom houses. Make him Gus
todian of the custom house papers and
the T. C. +. tickets Remember, that If
any of these be lost, trouble will ensue
at the first frontier the party attempts
to cross. Let him make sure that his
full name and address is on the card at
tached to each bicycle offered for trans
port by rail or steamer. Unless other

Do Not Use Tobacco.

An authority advises against the use
of tobacco while awheel, stating that
chewing affects the circulating system,
smoking, especially cigarettes, affects
the heart and breathing, making one
short-winded. Concluding, he says: "a
cigarette smoker will find that it re-
quires more exertion for him to ride
q fine, well-geared, well-oiled machine
than it does a noncigarette smoker to
push an old-fashioned, rusty, out-of-
date bicycle"

THREE-cRANK BICYCLE.

IL Utilises the Weight of the Rider to
Some Advantage.
The illustration represents bicycle
designed to facilitate utilizing the
weight of the rider, in addition to the
pressure ordinarily produced by the
feet, for the propulsion of the machine,
thus angmenting the total propelling
power and giving the body of the rider
a movement similar to that of pedes-
trian. In this bicycle are embodied the
elements Of three inventions, one pat
ented in 1881, one in 1884, and one for
which patent has just been issued, the
inventor being Nelson Merrill The
pedal crank Of this machine is a three
crank shaft, dividing the circle into
three parts instead of two, as is the or
binary practice, thus obviating all dead
centers, and the third crank is connected

BEAR IN HANNIBAL YARDS.
Employees of the Pacific Express Com
pany Go on an Unwilling Hunt
for Big Game.

A big black bear escaped from its cage
on the Union depot platform last night and
a genuine panic among the people who
were there at the time resulted. The bear,
with its companion. was brought to this
city on the Missouri Pacific train from
Omaha at 10:45, and escaped while the ex-
press men were transferring it to the Pa
cific express office at the lower end of the
depot annex.
The brute was surly and growled fierce
ly when taken from the car. After being
loaded onto the truck 1t seized the wooden
bars of the cage, crushed them, and sprang
out onto the platform. Express handlers.
depot officials and others fled in all direc-
lions. Barring the door of the depot. they
peered cautiously through the windows.
They expected the bear to charge on the
place at once.
The bear growled and shifted about for n
few minutes. and seeing no signs of life
anywhere ambled slowly across the plat
form and over into the Hannibal yards. A
night switch crew was making up a freight
train as the bear meandered slowly across
the network of tracks. A switchman was
riding the pilot of the engine when he was
startled by an angry groWl as the engine
slowly rolled past the bear. AS the crew
went back past the spot where they saw
the bear the rate was near sixty miles an
hour and the brakeman was on top of
the tender with a coal pick in his hands,.
AS soon as the frightened express hand
lers realized the situation. they organized
a seaTchlnS party ana began an eXplora-
ton of the Hannibal yards. They were
armed with all sorts of weapons and made
their weary way slowly about the cars and
shadows of the yard. They peered into
empty cars. searched about the platforms
and prepared all sorts of plans to get the
bear back into his cage-when they found
him. All agreed the best thing to be done
was to find the bear.
Shortly after midnight the bears retreat
was discovered under an empty box car
not far from the depot. Just about the
time he was discovered and the men were
preparing to trap him he decided to go out
and look about for his mate. The crate
with his mate in it was pushed out on
the platform. Soon the one in captivity
was growing savagely at the cold and
capped one.
The men at the depot %telephoned the es-
cape of Bruin to Depot Agent Griffin, who
instructed them to keep a close watch on
