TO SAVE YOUR WHEEL

Don't jump curbstones because horses
race in steeple chases :
Don't fail to clean the bicycle every
1me you ride any great distance.
Don't ride it at full speed over street

Don't let the tires become 50 much
Debated that you can feel the jo1ts as the

Don't let the chain sag perceptibly

Don't fail to inspect every bolt and
nut at least once during the week.
They wear loose, and the machine is
easily racked and strained if they are
not properly adjusted.
Don't pour a gill Of oil into the bear
ings as often as you start for ride Of
five miles. A little oil once week is
enough for any bicycle, and some need
oiling but once month.
Don't skip the teeth Of the sprocket
wheels when you clean every other part
Of the bicycle. The grit that aocumu-
lates at those points is enough to veal
out the best chain ever made.

A Matter of Great Importance
to Come Before the Next
County Court,
MANY THOUSANDS CAN BE SAVED
To the Taxpayers by Il Wise Manage

The important matter of refunding
the county debt will come before the
county court which is to be nominated
at the next democratic primary. The
axpayers are now paying about S36,OOO
DER annum in interest on he county
debt alone. These bonds which Will be-
come due and payable on January l.
1901, bear 6 per cent interest.
This debt ought to be refunded at a
rate of 3 per cent interest. If this can
be done, and it surely can, it will save
the SIT 900 per annum, not to
say anything about what might be

rate.

40 STRIKE IN MISSOURI.
Conference of Miners at Sedalia FANS
to MaterialiZe.

Sedalia. No. July 2S.-The confer
ence of coal miners which was to AVE
been held here this morning was de-
clared off, and the delegates have de-
narted for their homes. The reason for
this action is not definitely known, but
is believed to have been caused by Inc
failure of the Kansas and Illinois dele
cations to arrive. Operator Walton OF
the Higbee Coal Mining company says
that so far as has been able to lealn the
Missouri miners ave nothing 10 COM
plain of. He says they have been max
ing from S2.9 80 to 81 per day and are sat
is6ed as to their lot, but are in sympa-
thy with the Eastern miners.
There are altogether about twenty
five delegates present, representing
miners unions In the Northern part OF
the state. Rich hill and Vernon county
failed to send representatives. as ana
also Higginsville and Lexington. NO
formal meeting was held and no bust
ness was transacted. 1t is probable,
however. that ever had the delegates of
Kansas and Illinois met here with those
of Missouri that no radical steps would
have been taken, and that the business
of the conference would have been linn
tied to extending financial aid to East
ern miners.
Delegate James BIee. of IIlgbee, who
seemed TO be the leader of the Missouri
cont ingent, said to-day to "A staff CORE
spondent of the Times: The Missouri
delegation would have voted solidly
against a strike in the Missouri mines.

A GROWING INSTITUTION.
The HinesIey Cigar Company Shipping
Thousands of Cigars to Their
Trade Throughout This and
NeighbOring States.

The Hinesley Cigar Company started up
a branch factory in this city, January 10,
1895. At that time their main factory was
situated at Oskaloosa, Iowa, from which
point they shipped most of their cigars.
Rea izing the advantages Lexington pre-
scented for an enterprise of this kind, they
started a factory here, which at hrst EN-
ployed only a small number of men to do
their work. In a few months their busi'
ness had SO increased that they decided to
move their main factory here, and accord
ingly did so. Their trade has grown
rapidly since they moved to this city, and
now covers several states. This is due not
only to the excellent quality OF cigars
which they manufacture, but also to the
capable and prompt manner in which the
business affairs of the firm are managed.
Mr.. w. +. HInesley is the manager OF the
firms affairs, and their constantly increas'
ing trade is largely due to his superin-
tendance. He Is called away from here
often to look after the firms interests at
other places, and during his absence the
business interests are ably looked after by
his representatives.
MIR. L. o. Riley is their city salesman,
and his gentlemanly conduct has made
many friends for himself and his en-
ployers.
They have twenty-five men and women
working in the factory at present, and
his gives employment to a amber of
worthy young men and women, who
would otherwise be idle. The money paid
to these people each month amounts to
hundreds of dollars, and it is all spent
with the merchants and business men
here.
Three thousand and five hundred cigars
are manufactured by them "A day, and
these cigars are of as good a quality as
can be bought anywhere for the money.
Among their leading brands which are
sold here, perhaps the most popular are
the La Corona Real and the Royal Per-
fecto. The Royal Perfecto liz a good five
cent cigar and sells we'll. The La Corona
Real is "A clear Havana filled cigar, and
sells for ten cents. 1t il as good as the
average cigar which sells two for twenty
five cents, and the factory enjoys a large
sale OF this brand here and at other
points.
Their cigars sell on their merit here and
at other places, but they enjoy an unsus-
ually large sale here, because our citizens
believe in patronizing home industries.
The company intend to man
ufacturing an all tobacco cigarette, and if
IL meets with the sale they anticipate,
hey will be able to give employment to a
considerably larger number OF people.

they would not have felt justified in re-
sorting to radical means to aid them.
Concerning the smuggling OF coal
from Missouri into the strike territory,
Mr.. Blee said: 1--WE have heard that the
Missouri Pacific has been rushing solid
trains of coal at night from the mines at
Rich Hill, Higginsville and Lexington
to st. Louis, there to be re-consigned to
its ultimate destination within the strike
boundaries. We have made inquiry as
to this, and the company officials have
informed us that the coal is destined to
Chamois, Mo-, where it is to be stored
for the company's use. For my part, /
can't say that l am favorably impressed
with this explanation. As Chamois is
within the coal belt, and mines plenty
of coal Of her own, the arrangement
smacks somewhat of sending coal to
New Castle. 1t will be investigated
further, and if the report is found to be
true some action will unquestionably be
taken to detain consignments of a
with suspicious destinations. This
will probably be accomplished through
the various railroad orders, which will
be requested to instruct trainmen not to
handle coal-laden cars bound toward
the strike district"

n RENIAMIN ANDREWS.

DIR. Il. BENJAMIN Andrews has been
deposed as president of the Brown
University. In the forum of education
DR.. Andrews has few equals. He is
one of the greatest scholars of modern
times AS II political economist he is
the peer of any man in the world. AS
president of Brown University his
administration has been remarkably
successful. 1t may be said OF him that
he was one of the few university presl-
dents who was greater than the institu-
ton over which he presided
But DIR. And ews has been deposed.
He is. no longer president OF Brown
University. DR.. Andrews was an
advocate of bimetallism AS defined IN
the Chicago platform. He dared
defend his position upon the principles
OF political economy,
This was more than the gold bugs
could stand. The curators OF the
university worshipped the golden calf.
They called on DIR. Andrews, giving
him the privilege of advocating the
gold standard or resigning. DIR.
Andrews was an American citizen,
whose honor was more to him than the
presidency of Brown University. He
resigned. He asserted his manhood.
HeIdemonstrated his worthiness to be
an American Citizen. He showed that
ne was greater han his surroundings.
This Is one of the daring examples
of gold bug tyranny. 1t clearly shows
that to accomplish their purpose the
gold bugs would sacrifice every immu-
nifty now enjoyed. Liberty, freedom
speech, free press, free worship,
equality before the laval would be
sacrificed, that the gold standard
might work ont its damnable purposes
But the gold bugs are too brave.
Their tyranny will cause their down
fall. And it will make DR.. Andrews a
great national figure. Their action
may lead the democratic party to give
the second place on the ticket in 1900
to him. BY the way, a presidential
ticket composed of w. j. Bryan and
E. Benjamin Andrews would be great.

In speaking of this matter to the IN
TELLIGENCER Judge William Young,
who had much to do with the last sue
cessful compromise of the county bonds,
said !:
Our county debt amounting fossil 800
will all become due January /, 1901. AS
we will be unable to pay the debt then,
it will be necessary to refund it This
will be a matter of vast Importance to
our county, and it is not wise to post
pone its consideration until the emer-
gency is upon us. This debt now bears 6
per cent per annum interest. 1t ID APP
parent that the rate of interest OF the
refundlng bonds is the chief matter TO
be considered. A little reflection will
show that good financiering requires b "a
everything should be in readiness to take
up the old bonds as soon as they fall
due.
This is necessary-First-to maintain
our credit.
IF we wish to get the best rates we
must show a disposition and ability to
meet our obligations, every one of them,
the moment they become due. If we
do not make provision for the payment
of our present bonds promptly as they
mature. how can we expect the on of
the market for our new ones
"Secondly-if we can refund our debt
at a lower rate of interest than at
present; it is to our interest to get the
benefit of the lower rate at the earliest
day possible.
This will make it necessary for all
of the preparations and negotiations for
refnnding our bonded debt to be done
during the year l90D-pot later than that
year at any rate.
Let it go abroad and get among the
people of Lafayette county that upon
the county court to be elected at the
next general election will fall this oner-
Gus and important duty.
ut is absolutely necessary that this
court should be composed of men OF
ability-of strong native common sense.
This world is full of so-called finan-
ciers. Smart fellows, always with
, schemes on hand for every imaginable
case, but whose plans when thoroughly
examined are found to consist mainly in
arrangements to put something into
their own pockets. AS a general thing
brokers and middle men are more of a
hindrance than a help in such matters.
and the chief exercise of their skill is in
keeping the contracting parties apart

rather deal directly with the borrower
in such cases, and need no help in theil

pays all expenses. The borrower is the

court itself directly with the purchasers
