Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, who is an
expert wheelman, thus diffsrentiates be.
tween the equestrian and the bicyclist:
When l 60 horseback riding the horse
gets the exercise. He doesn't exactly get
it all, but he gets the best of it. Ga the
other band, when l go bicycle riding all
the exercise is mine. 1 do all the work
and have all the fun. A man can feel that
he is doing something for himself when be
is riding a wheel, and there is great deal
of satisfaction in that.

rial very many have white collar
and cuffs. An expert, looking
through the stock, said that some
of the waists were easily worth
three times the price asked. We
cannot save you that much always
but the entire lot is wonderfully
cheap. These trade sales lead to
large economy because of great
buying. This sale started with
forty-two thousand shirt waists

WANAMAKER,S.

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, May 10, 1897.
"Get Wanamaker to sellit. Then
we will believe in it, and be able to
hold some one responsible who does
not haggle or squirm out of respon-
sibility." This was what was told
the agent who was trying to sell a
certain article at peoples doors.
But Wanamaker could not be gotten
to sell tor anything else that will
not be good for customers to buy.
The small per cent. of profit is not
to be considered. Will it last and
please? is the only question.
We could fill our store with eigF-
teen dollar bicycles and two cent
garden hose and one dollar lawn
mowers and cheap stuffs of every
sort, but it is not our way.
Poor things cannot come in here
no matter how cheap they are.
The fact is, that almost every lot of
goods advertised in Philadelphia as
marvellous or cheap came here first,
and three-quarters of the lots were
shut out of this store because below
our standards.
We stand squarely behind every
transaction. and that makes US very
particular.

General Miles or For constanttnopl.

southampton, May 13.-General Mel
son A. Miles, U. S. A., who arrived
here yesterday from New York, on his
way to the scene of the Greco-Turkish
war, was asked whether the conclu-
sion of peace when brought about,
would change his plans. The general
said it would not, that he intends to
see the Turkish army and the armies
of Europe generally before returning
to the United States He started last
night for Constantinople.

Clean Marked

Here, while the yield was not large and
the soil rot very bad, it is seen that all
three checks did not together yield as
many clean roots as any one of the treated
plots With so small crop it is not easy
to show that sulphur would pay, but there
is unmistakable evidences of its wholesome
effect shown in the table. Ii the marked
roots are considered equal to two-thirds
their weight of clean ones, the ratio between
the average of the two plots receiving the
largest amounts of sulphur and their sep
arating check plot would be as Al to 25.
Had the crop here been equal to that of the
other two experiments, the difference
between the check and its adjoining treated
plots would haye been 1875 baskets or
about $31 at Is cents per basket-a net
gain of 26 per acre for the sulphur.
In dollars and cents the experiments of
the present season show a gain for sulphur
of from 1923 so to $26 with potatoes selling
at rs cents basket and an average of $50
if the selling price is so cents per basket.

1t isn't economical to buy a cheap
wheel unless it has been proven.
The Continental was tested for
several seasons-under its 500
name and ourS-before it was firmly
entrenched in popular favor. And
then came last seasons phenomenal
selling which ran our total up to
nine thousand.
1t is all right to buy any of the
established makes of wheels at 500

At least they are safe and durable.

SUGGESTIONS.

Irish Potatoes. experiments with
Irish potatoes indicate that corrosive sub
Innate when added to the soil will check
the scab, but the mere soaking of the seed
in solution of that su distance is ineffective
when the soil is infested.
Kainit during the past season has shown
considerable fungicidal value in reducing
the amount of scab.
Sulphur has maintained the first place as
a remedy for the scab, and its wholesome
effect upon the soil is demonstrated as re-
naming undiminished through at least the
second season.
As an aside experiment, the tests in cut
ting the seed tubors show much better
yields when the middle pieces are used
than when either the seed or stem ends are
employed.
Irrigation considerably increased the
amount of scabbiness during the past
season.
The tests with depths of planting do not
show any advantage in varying from the
normal.
Street Potatoes. In the field experiments
with sweet potatoes, sulphur again led all
other substances that were employed in
checking the soil rot.
Kainit stood second in its effectiveness
against the soil rot and is worthy of further
trials.
The new lines of experimentation with
sulphur indicate that excellent returns may
be hoped for by using 300 pounds applied
with fertilizer drill in the open row.
When the sulphur is mixed with a few
times its bulk of soil and little dropped
in the hill ii is too concentrated and too
near the young plant for the best results.
The experiments of the past year with
both Irish and sweet potatoes suggests a
com binatIon of sulphur and ksinit, about
300 pounds of each placed in the open row,
as substantial remedy for both the scab
and soil rot.

Mississippi Exposition has been
let and the work will be pushed,
the contract requiring that the
work shall be finished not later
than June %. About $4,000 Gu
yards will be moved
Estimates already submitted
fix the probable cost Of putting
the Exposition grounds in shape
for all purposes at $780, 900. The
fence enclosing the grounds,
nearly completed, will be about
five miles in extent.
Nearly 81, 100000 is in sight,
from all sources, for the Exposi-
ton. This sum is being con,
stantly added to and it is expect.
ed will be more than doubled by
the end Of 1897.
The railroads in this territory
have already subscribed so, ,OO(
for the Exposition. Other rail
road subscriptions will double
this amount.

at noon, Wednesday, April S, of inflammation OF
the bowels, Mr.. Fred Moser, aged AZ years.
The above announcement came
without warning to many OF the
friends of the deceased, and
even to those who were aware OF
his lines the notice came with a
shock. Mr.. Moser was i'll less
than a week, and while his attack
was severe, it was believed hehad
secured the mastery of the
disease until within a day or SO
of his death, when he apparently
had a rel pse, which proved fatal.
Mr.. Moser was one of the old
and highly respected residents
of the county in which he had
lived for the past eighteen years,
and was at the time Of his death
a member of the board of county
commissioners, to which position
he was elected last fall. he
leaves a wife and five children
of tender years, the youngest
being but seven months old, and
four children by an earlier mar
riage. He was Il. most exemplary
citizen and nei5 5hbor, command
ing the esteem Of the community
He was a member OF the Evan
gelical society of Alban, by
whom the funeral ceremonies
will be conducted to-day.

There is a good deal said nowadays
about ''reform. Everybody wants
reform, but III good many eases
those who shout the loudest ana
longest are in for reforming some
body else than themselves. 1t is So
easy to deno,mce Wall street and
Washington and the far away villains,
and it is a very popular and some
times proper thing to do. But what
of our own house and our own door
yardl Are they SO clean that W"
should be greatly alarmed by the con-
ditions in New York or Chicago
How is it that SO large a per cent o.
the criminals who are brought face to
face with the law in Grant county
are allowed to escape, until the law.
instead of being a deterrent to crime
is looked upon as farce ani Tn"
easiest thing in the world TO escape.
sometimes the escape happens
| through legal technicallties. but more
often it occurs by the direct decision
of iuries. who are supposed to and
| probably do represent an average o.
| the community in intelligence anu
morality. We may dcnounce the law
and the courts until doolnsday, but
/ if we are honest with ourselves we
1 will find the trouble deeper down, III
fact in the people themselves, a general
unwillingness to convict for crime.
This unwilllngness to convict is the
out growth OF a lax sense OF honor
that perNades society. We Go no.
contend that the people Of Grant
county are worse than other CON-
stances have recently occurred which
very forcibly illustrates the eas't
with which rascality evades the law.
One Of theses cases was OF state wide
notoriety, and in which there was not
a shadow of ground to presume III
nocencp. and yet the party accused
had large number Of sympathisers,
who We're ut all times ready to palliats
if not openly defend the crimes fof
: which the man was held, simply be-
cause they were not direct losers
themselves by his dishonesty. In
the other cases a similar sympathy
and desire to see the law fail was
: noticeable. and even an acknowledge
! ment of guilt III the matter by th.
party himself was not sufficient u
overcome an expression OF this feel
ING. and the acquittal of the accused
was regarded as 4 very proper ana
meritoIious conclusion Of the case.
While this spirit of toleratlon and
open sympathy for crime and Grim
nals exists it is beyond hope to eH
pect much improvement in the pun
ishment CT crime or enforcement Of
law When men learn that every
failure of the law to punish the
: law breaker is Il direct menace ta
their own security in property and
| life there will be fewer congratuiatory
receptions for unconvicted criminals
2 more reasonable respect for the lax
: and higher standard Of personal
; integrity.
