Ii You
Were
About
To Go By

To go buy a Bicycle, don't do so I'M
TIL you first know it were wise to give
OURS the Ego by" Why we sell so
many Bicycles is no mystery, for the
names Rambler" Columbia" and
"Stearns" are known TO every one who
knows what the word Bicycle means,
and about everybody in the Islands
knows that we are the agents for these
three leading makes.
We will not say much about the
"Stearns" this time. as the lot of 80
wheels which left New York on Febru-
airy 10th, did not catch the Australia, -
and you do not want to hear about a
wheel you cannot see, so we Will tell
you about them when they get here.
But if you want a pretty mount, some
thing up to date, come in and see orr
'97 "Columbi and "Ramblers;" but
come quick, as we have sold over half
of the lot just received, and we are sure
TO be out of both makes before we can
get a good look at them ourselves.
We will have just forty-four (44 BIZ
cycles on the Australia" when she gets
here on March 3Oth, and from that on
we don't think anybody will go by to
buy a wheel because we have not got
the stock to show them.
Our "Columbias" this year, as well
as our "Ramblers," are fitted with the
well-known q. & ]. tires. This tire has
proved to be the best one ever used in
these Islands, and if you get the gen
uine G.. & J. tire you get what you need
for this climate and our roads. The
genuine G.. & J. tire is sold by the
Rambler" Agency here. and is fitted
to wheels we order. You can get tires
that are said TO be G.. & ]. and look
just the same. but you won't want more
than one pair; looks don't wear, you
know.
Points OF interest to you will be the
way the spokes are fastened on the
"Columbias," the new special seat and
the handles and grips on the Ladies
"Ramblers:" in fact. you will find lots
to interest you, and you are welcome TO
examine any wheel to your hearts con-
tent, even If you have no idea OF buy
ing. We have just added largely to
our stock of sundries-such as Lamps.
Bells, Luggage Carriers. Bike Stands,
Fnamels, etc.-and We can fit you out
with about anything you need.
FOR THE BEST of everything in the
wheeling line, go to

THE CHAINLESS WHEEL

Whether or not the chain1ess bicycle
is to be the wheel of the future will
depend in great measure upon the
results of the experiments to be made
during the coming year. While in
formation concerning the plans of
prominent makers with regard to
chainless wheels has been hard to get,
the aid of prescience is not required to
arrive at the conclusion that more than
one manufacturer will give attention
to the building of wheels without
chains. The statement was made some
time since that a certain maker in the
east would place on the market in '97
One-half his output minus the chain,
but that announcement has been so
often denied and affirmed that the
truth of it is an open question. The
bevel gear is known to the public in
its crude form, but in that form failed
to win approval The rod which took
the power from the pedal shaft for
communication to shaft of the rear
wheel was subject to dislocation. Any
violent vibration of the slightly elastic
frame Of the wheel was likely, it is
said, to put the cogs Of the beveled
wheels out of gear and make trouble
But new and improved device cor
reefs this defect.

WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE.

Madison, Jan. 1.-THE governor S
message was read in both houses.
Senator Putnam introduced the first
bill Of the session, to create an adVis-
DRY board of pardons. 1t is de-
vised to obviate the delay which would
be necessary by cOnStitu ion2l
amendment creating an Independent
board, but is not intended to prevent
such amendment. 1t is modelled after
the Michigan plan, and provides for a
board of three members which sha |
consider all applications for pardon
and recommend action thereon to the
governor. This can be done under the
present provisions of the constitution.
Senator Solliday introduced a bill to
authorize the Citizens State bank Of
Whitewater to reduce its capital stock
from $4,000 to $50 900.
Senator Welton introduced a bill
providing that any corporation reoT-
ganized under chapter 440, laws Of
1891, relating to insurance, may amend
it's articles of reorganization. Senator
Stout put in a bill to increase the etficl-
snCy of the state free library commits
siOr. It includes supervision of all
library work aud increases the appro~
priation from $500 to $4,000. The house
did nothing but debate parliamentary
rules. Adjournment was taken till
the legislation of Jan. 10.

FATE OF A BILLIARD BALL.

Did you ever know what becomes
of old billiard balls?" asked a we'll
known expert, who keeps a billiard
parlor on Chestnut street. well, it's
rather interesting. Billiard balls, Of
course you know, are made of ivory
that is, the best of them are. They
don't last more than a year or so with
constant use; after that they get
cracked or knocked out of shape bit.
The ball has to be turned over again,
and after undergoing that process a
couple of times it gets to be too small
for a regulation game. It's days as a
billiard ball being over, it is now col
ored, and for several years more does
duty as pool bali. Naturally, in
course of time, it gets badly Clipped
or cracked, and is then usually sold
to an ivory worker. An ivory ball can
be cut up into buttons, electric bell
pushes, tips for conductors batons and
numerous other little things of the
kind. Even the tiniest chips aren't
wasted, for they can be used in fancy
small firms Of ivory workers are only
too glad to purchase seasoned ma
terial secondhand, and, as a. matter
of fact, there is hardly more salable
article in this world than a wornout
billiard ball" -Philadelphia Record.

that the recognition of a foreign gov
erEment is a congressional prerogative

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Pacific
railroad funding bill went to its doom
in the house under an ad-
verse majority Of sixty-six. The
friends of the measure who had pre-
dicted its passage up to the last mo-

character OF their defeat 1t

ton was made that it be amended so

estimates of the work secured.
A dangerous counterfeit Of the $40
United States silver certificate has
been discovered. The note is Of the
series of 1891, check letter B. The
most noticeable defect is in the treas
ury numbers, which, although of good
color, are too heavy and out of align
ment. The paper is good and the silk
threads of the genuine are cleverly
initiated by Den and ink lines on ct he
back of the counterfeit note.

CHARITABLE AND PENAL.

l desire to call to your attention to the neces-
slty for the esta bshment of some sort of inter-
mediate prison, to which first offenders may be
sent. In spite of the greatest care which can
be given by the prison authorities it is impossi-
bic. in state prison like ours, where no dis
tlnctIOn is made between inmates who are first
offenders and those who are known to be hardI
ened criminals, to reach reformatory results,
which should be one of the chief objects of i'm
prisOnment The crowded condition of the
prison at Waupun makes clear the necessity for
either building au addition to the present.
prison. or the erection of a new prison. The
situation, therefore, forces a consideration and
determin alton of this question Of an interme-
date prison for first offenders and young CON
ylcts who. are not yet beyond the age when they
can be reformed.

PECULIAR BICYCLE COLD.

eyes, the bicycle cold is a distinct
disease, and one that frequently comes
to us for treatment as the cool nights

is nothing wonderful or unusual about
the bicycle cold. 1t is not different
from any other annoying colds in the
head, and is about as slow and IN
satisfactory in its cure. These bicycle
ladies and men, without knowing it,
very often during their long runs at
night, get themselves into a perspira-
ton and allow themselves to cool off
too suddenly They thereby catch a

HISTORICAL LIBRARY.

The legislature of 1885 made an appropriation
for the erection of an historical library build
tions of the State Historical society This appro-
pria ton was made in view of the fact that the
collections of the historical society. many of
stroyed, were in their present location III the
capitol building thought to be liable at any time
to be destroyed by fire, and because it was feared
that the enormous weight of the societys libra
~ and collections upon the upper floors of the
south wing might endanger the walls of the
building. An additional appropriation is nec-
essary to complete this structure. To leave it
as it is would entail loss upon the state. I
recommend, therefore, that an appropriation
sufficient to complete the historical library
building be made.

BREAKING THE NEWS GENTLY

bling his hands and smiling.
"Everything all right?' asked the
man who was anXiously waiting for
him.
Couldn't be better" returned the
doctor. Good" said the man with a
sigh Of relief.
Then, when he saw that the doctor
intended to say nothing more, he
asked with some hesitation: 'Er-
ah-bOy or girl?"
The doctor stopped rubbing his
hands and looked a trifle uneasy, as if
the task before him was not just to
his liking.

a tandem wheel for it,"

GRANTS LETTERS TO HIS WIFE.

AS usual on the eve Of a battle, be-
fore the general retired he wrote
letter to Mrs Grant. l did not know
the nature of the contents of the let
ters to his wife until after the war,
when Mrs Grant in speaking Of them,
said that they always contained words
Of cheer and comfort, expressed an
abiding faith in victory, and never
failed to dwell upon the sad thought
which always oppressed him when he
realized that many human lives would
be sacrificed, and great sufferings
would have to be endured by the
wounded. The generals letters to his
wife were very frequent during cam
paign, and no pressure of official duties
was ever permitted to interrupt this
correspondence.-Ge Horace Porter
