The bicycle Leg.

1t is pretty hard for woman to try to be
anything but a plain woman and not be
blamed for the effort to be otherwise, says
the Chicago Tribune. 1t used TO be the
thing for men and women to lecture on the
necessity of women being athletic. People
wanted the wives to get more air and
more muscle, and the wives and their
daughters ventured into many or the de-
partments of outdoor sport which had
been exclusively the field of the men.
They have now been doing it long enough
to show the effects, and it therefore hap
pens that all over the world there are dis
duisitions upon the effects of athletics on
women. The ones who are making the In
vestigations are not pleased. 1t has been
possible for them to find many bad results
in Chicago, and it was only this week that
one of the best artists in the city told me
that it was Il crime for woman with hand-
some eyes and regular features to ride a
bicycle. The strain brings wrinkles and
crows feet, and the soft, dreamy languor
which makes poets rave has been wheeled
from many a woman's glance. This is only
part of the injury.
1t has now been discovered by the student
of such matters that bicycle riding gives
women the bicycle leg. 1t is said by the
experts that this evil attacks women more
readily than it does men, probably because
their muscles are more flexible and adapt
able than those of the wheelmen. This is

That paper says of Mr.. Taylor.
He IS a positive and Will prove a forceful
candidate. lie has given many years service

himself well in every official as we'll as
party trust. He reflects credit upon the
State and Ii is therefore the more a matter
of pride that he is a citizen of this city,
county and district. He is a man whose
with distinctive force 10 the enthusiastic
support of the party and the people with
whom he IS associated. Taylor In the
Senate would add character to that great
body and his success would be free from
corporate or money influences"
The Item heartily indorses every word
of the above. Mr.. Taylor, we believe, rep
reSents all that Is best, highest and ealth-
lest in the Republican party, and his cleo
ton would reflect much credit on it as
honor on him. He is not what Is termed a
hustler in politics and We thank the
Lord for it, for there is nothing more dis
gushing. or more discreditable to that nigh
office than the modern methods of machine
politicians 10 be elected thereto. When Mr..
TAYLOR frankly announces his candidacy

people will respond 10 that faith by giving
such a man their own confidence nd sup

The train was made up of eleven coaches
and two baggage cars, the latter being at
tached almost solely for the purpose of
carving the bicycles. Over half of those
going on the excursion were wheelmen. AT
Hamilton quite a number left the train and
rode over the famous Poorman course into
the Queen City. At the Cincinnati, Hamll-
ton 81 Dayton station in Cincinnati the

Died st the Insane HosDitoI

William E. Sidney, patient at the Cen
trail Hospital, died suddenly about 1890
o'clock yesterday morning. He had been
suffering from ulcer of the stomach, and
the hospital physicians think this disease
caused his death. Coroner Brayton was
called, but it was not thought necessary to
hold an autopsy. Sidney lived at Frank
fort Ind. He was admitted TO the hospital
May 29 last, and most the time had been
unable to leave his bed. The last few davs
had brought a marked change for the bet
ter in his mental condition. He leaves a
wife and two children.

Ex-Governor Porter, of Indiana who was
recently gathered TO his fathers, at one
time owned 2l0O0 acres of land in Brown,
Nemaha and Jackson counties Kansas. and
his estate is still possessor of vast tracts
in those regions. In 1878 Governor Porter
sought in vain for a purchaser for these
lands at S. an acre. They are now worth
$40 an acre, and it is estimated that the
estates holdings in Kansas would bring
$500, 600.
