During September, October, November
| and December she made many meri.
torious century runs, % in November
alone.
In October she set out to ride 30 cen
turtles in as many days. She had ridden
IL when the heavy storm that preceded
Thanksgiving in the west came up and
frustrated her plan. The roads were
not in q passable condition again until
the last day of October, when she start
ed in again. She then rode 20 centuries
in 90 days. Another storm curbed her
efforts. Notwithstanding, she got u
chance to ride "a centuries in rs days in
November, and when the end of Deem
Der came her total list of bars numbered
11s, of which 116 were made in 1896 and
the other two in December, 1895. Sec
rotary Fairchild's string represents the
accumulated century runs of five years,
while Mrs. Rinehart's were made
within 10 months. Her total mileage
for these months is 17,173. This was eX-
ceeded by but two riders, both men, last
year, the best score being p, 900. The
prospect is that this probably will be
excelled this year. The greatest num-
Der of centuries ridden by anyone in
1895 was 90. So that it is more than
likely that Mrs. Rinehart's 116 will be
another worlds record for last year.
On three different occasions this
champion rode double centuries, that Is,
200 miles in one day. They were ridden
on July %, on August 7, and on-Septem-
Der 81. On the last ride Mrs. Rinehart
covered the distance in 10 hours and 1s
minutes. The Century Road club al
lowed her q state record on this feat, al
though the record has been lowered
since. II is little singular that the
best time in which she ever rode a CEN
tury was made on this ride, her second
century that day being ridden in seven
hours and forty-three minutes. She Gov
cred the last 20 miles in an even hour.
When Mrs. Rinehart began TO ride she
used drop frame, but during big cy-
Gle show in Denver last February she
decided to ride q diamond frame. She
found herself so attached to the bear
ings and gear Of her old machine, how
ever, that she had them changed to d.
amond frame. Her wheel weighs %
pounds, has a 22-inch frame, and is
geared to 70. On her century rides she
stops often at houses along the route,
and the children in these houses adore
her. On the day before Christmas she
had great fun playing Santa Claus up
to date. She mounted the wheel with |
huge sack of presents and covered 100 |
miles, distributing gifts among women
who had entertained her and the little |
folks who love her.

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 2O.-The
leaders of the Good Cities movement
have a large sized sensation which
they propose to spring upon Mayor
Taggart. This they will do by having
his honor arrested upon the charge of
violating the Nicholson temperance
law.
There has been a running dispute
between the city administration and
the Good Citizens league, lead by Eli
F. Ritter and c. F. Newlin, for two or
three months, upon the question of
whether or not the liquor laws were
enforced. Monday the Ritter spies"
as they are called, happened into the
Grand Hotel bar. Mayor Taggart is
president of the hotel company and
the active manager of the hosiery.
Attached to the bar are a couple of
private rooms for special parties, and
it was in one of these that his honor
was found after II o'clock entertaining
four members of the Legislature and
two or three other of his acquaintance
in the Legislature. Mr.. Newlin was
among the accommodating party and
has prepared the affidavit upon which
the mayor will be arrested. The men,
bers of the Legislature cannot be
brought to time, for they enjoy i'm
nunity from arrest while the assem-
bly, is in session.

[CoMMuHICATED,
THE PARTISAN CRITICS.

If anything had been required to
demonstrate the hollowness Of parti-
san politics, the last day or two has
furnished the proof thereof beyond all
contradiction. Desperation is written
in comment and criticism because of
the fatherIy counsel given by an aged
revered and experienced man, one who
knows of the bitterness of PARTISAN

The common sense quality of that
counsel should be applauded by every
right thinking man. and the one or
the party which peryerts from its
righteous intent the spirit or the
words uttered. is endcavorlng to mis-
lead, to divide on points and principles
that are in no way affected save in a
partisan direction.

does extant mean one or two things.

THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH.

No utterance during the recent Cen
eral Conference Of the Church was re-
ceived by the Saints with greater
pleasure and gratitude than the declor-
alton Of President Woodruff that the
mouths of the First Presidency should
not henceforth be kept closed because
of the opinions of the children of men.
The vast assembly received this pro-
mise with joy. and their hearts We're
made glad by the knowledge that the
whlms and objections OF carping out
siders should no longer be effective in
preventing the chosen and nnolnted
leaders of the Church from expressing
to the people the feelings that their
duty and the Spirit prompted. An
extreme desire to avoid the appear
ance of anything that even the most
technical and suspicious critic could
find fault with, has caused these mon
in the past TO abstain in great meas
ure from the discussion of subjects
which are Of the liveliest Importance
to the welfare OF the whole communi-
ty. The American right of free speech
they have never rclinquishcd; neither
have they yielded up the right, either

experience and service In that ca

These columns lately contained an
allusion to the pluclsy proposition of
the sturdy Dutchmen to reclaim con-
siderable tract now covered by the sea.
Even more novel is the condition OF
New England town, which has the
problem on it's hands Of preventing
itself from being endangered by sand.
PrUvincetown, Massachusetts, Is the
threatened borough, for at its back
rage the famous sand storms of Cape
Cod-snid by those who have tried both
to be something more to be dreaded
than n western blizzard. a northwest
gale does the business; 1t whirls the
soft, light sand drifts in great clouds
obsouring every object that Is not
within two or three yards. Such
storm is worse than snow, in that 1t
not only covers up the roads in few
moments, but 1T makes permanent
changes in the general features OF the
landscape. People have been known to
get lost in such a storm, and even
when it was over. they have been
puzzled to locate themselves owing to
the changes that had occurred. or
course people do not freeze TO death
in a sand storm, but they suffer bad
Iy: the flying particles cut and grind
the face most painfully, and men who
have endured such an experience IRE

their faces lacerated and discolored so

have to be replaced often by new

ton, a writer la the Scientific Ameri-

SHAM. YET HLooDILY REAL.

The emperor OF Germany has one
ever he does he goes at with earnest
ness and as if everything depended up
on it. A case, however. where this
trait was not altogether meritorious
was the recent military maneuvers
near Homburg. In the course of a
sham battle. the lmpetuous young
war-lord led charge of twelve reEi
ments of cavalry in "A preposterous at
tack upon the enemy's trenches, which
were so defended that had their occu-
pants been firing ball cartridges with
their rifles and machine guns, in
stead of blank shot, not horse or a
rider would have been left alive. 1t
was a wild charge, and a tough strug-
gle ensued, all rules of sham fight be-
ing cast aside, the infantry actually
firing at two PAGES, while the artillery
hurled blank shot after blank shot in
to the struggling masses of horse and
men. No less than nine troopers and
infantrymen subsequently were car
ried off the field badly injured. one ia
tally so, while the majority had broken
arms and legs. and fourteen dead
horses likewise adorned the sham
battlefield. This is the official
report of the casualties, and is
issued by the government to put a
stop to the exaggerated stories that
came into immediate circulation. An
experienced strategist who witnessed
the melee cuttingly remarked that ii
was fortunate the warfare was mimic
instead of real. since otherwise there
would not be enough soldiers OF
officers left alive to bury the dead. The
Kaisers fondness for action as well as
| dress parade being thus confirmed
the remaining problem is whether in
actual battle his sense will be equal to
his dash.
