some Interesting Facts Regarding
the Output of Crescent Bicycles.

This article is intended to convey con-
ception of the enormous amount OF raw ma
terial consumed during season In supply
ing the demand for one of the most popular
bicycles made. The Western Wheel Works,
Chicago. makers of the Crescent wheel, have
the largest, and without doubt the most
complete, bicycle factory in the world, and
can turn out, when running to fullest ca
pacity 725 finished Crescents In twelve
hours, or complete ''up to date bicycle
per minute.
They used during 1896 $50 miles of tub
ing, or enough to nearly reach from Chi
cago to st. Paul if placed In straight line.
The spokcs were made In their own fac
tory, and required $50 miles of wire, or
enough to reach from Chicago to Lincoln,
Neb.; so miles of brass rod was required
for spoke nipples. If the spokes, spoke nip
Piles and tubing were placed IN straight
line they would reach from Chicago to the
Rocky Mountains at Denver. The cranks,
if placed end to end, would cover distance
of % miles. They used 80 miles of steel for
crank axles wheel axles and pedal axles,
and 10 miles of steel for seat posts. If the
inns that were used in the manufacture of
Crescents In '96 were placed one upon the
other they would make pile 1880 feet
high, 5000 feet higher than Pixies Peak
and about the height of Mount Elias in
Alaska, whose summit has never yet been
reached by man. 1t required 32,084 square
feet OF sheet steel to make the Crescent
hollow tooth sprockets, and 21,876 square
feet for the steel stampings of the head and
seat post clamps, or in all enough fat steel
to cover an area of II acres. There were
used 10 miles of cork grips, log miles of
finished hubs, and % miles of steel wire to
pin frames together before brazing. The
finished chains, end to end, would reach
20 miles, and the different pieces of which
they are composed would reach 2374 Mines.
or In all 3075 miles, the distance from Chi
cago to Cincinnati. The bearings of 1896
Crescents required 1897 300 steel balls,
which, if placed in a straight line, side by
side, would reach distance of 453 miles.
To lace the chain and dress guards on the
ladies' Crescents manufactured in 1896 re-
quired 434, 80 yards of cord, or 2464 miles,
enough to allow a small boy to stand on
the top of the Auditorium tower in Chicago
and fly his kite where the people in Des
MONIES, Iowa, could see il. To supply
Crescents sold in 1896 required l,6O6, 742
bolts, and l,48S,075 nuts, having an aggre-
gate weight of % tons. The total weight
of the complete bicycles was 2382, 842
pounds, or ,l9l tons. To crate these BIZ
cycles required l DE, 740 square feet of Ium-
Der made up in pieces; y, rs, 668 separate
and distinct pieces entered into the con-
struction of go Crescents, and if all were
placed in straight line, end to end, they
would reach from New York to some dis
lance In the Pacific ocean west of San Fran

A Wonderful Rifle.

Hunting big game is not as hard work as
it used to be in the days of the long, heavy,
big bored rifles. With light modern rifle,
such as the Model '94 or '95 Winchester,
more game can be killed and at much longer
distances than with any one of the old time
guns. The Model '95 Winchester is one of
the highest powered rifles made. 1t will
shoot 30-caliber Z. S. Army bullet
through over 90 inches of dry pine boards,
and drive bullet at the rate of 2,066 feet
a second through the air. Hunters all over
the country say that this is the best hunt
ing rifle ever made. Send to the Winches-

The Klondike and Its Prospects.

New gold fields always raise great
excitements among people who seek
fortune when it floats by wholesale,
either in the imaginations, or in
reality. "The love of money" we are
told, sis the root of all evil" The
climatic condition of the Klondike
confirms the fact that fortune seekers
will risk their lives to any extreme of
heat or cold, or brave any danger of
whatever nature to secure the coveted
prize. The information that l have
obtained in relation to the Klondike,
l would not venture, nor risk the
perils for all the Klondike possessions,
pure and simple. But may not all
the visions and fairy tales of great
fortunes of gold in the Klondlke be
myth and delusion, after all. Is 1t
not possible that the gold excitement
of the far away, ever frozen Klondike,
is only single gold standard and gold
bug scheme to deceive the people in
view of the approaching elections.
John Wanmaker, in an interview to a
WorM reporter remarked, that sin
case $25o, 1000, 900 of gold was mined
in the Klondike, that would "settle
the money question" 1t would
"restore the gold to the government
that went abroad" Good common
sense should teach a man better than
that. If $4,000, 900, 900 of gold were
mined at the Klondike, what benefit
would that be to the general govern
menta When the gold is mined the
government does not own the gold.
1t is individual, or corporate wealth
which seeks government protection
and government bonds at high rates
of interest for which it taxes the mass
es of the people by high tariffs to pay
the interest in gold. Let the people
not be deceived by such Wanamaker
wishy washy stuff.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, receptacle for the
urine, and as such il is not liable to
any form of disease except by one OF
two ways. The first way is from I'M
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment CT other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
festeu in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often. by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex
traordinary effect of DR.. Kilmers
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free

inauguration of the spy system for the
detection of. certain crimes, and the
expenditure of money to obtain evil
dence against disorderly houses, which
Col. Grant refused to sanction. He in
slsts that some other way should be
found to enforce the law, besides Turing
and encouraging victims to the COM
mission of crime, for the purpose of
arresting them. But vice and crime
flourish in the great city like a green
bay tree, and the best sentiment Of
the people has been awakened to the
necessity for the application Of vigor-
GUS methods of some kind which will
prove effective in eradicating it. While
there are many moralists who will Wig
orously sustain the position which Col.
Grant has taken, even these will con-
fess that the open and shameless fount-
ing of vice is a growing evil which
must be curbed in some manner even
if drastic and unusual methods are
adopted to accomplish this end. But
beneath these public and assigned rea-
sons for Col. Grants resignation po-
liticians have felt that they could dis
cover another move in the great
scheme in which SO many ambitious
men are engaged, for controlling the
government OF Greater New York, for
the next four years.
Few men realize the great stake
for which the leaders of parties, and
factions in parties, are now making
preparations to contend in the coming
election. The enormous power Of the
local government will have a greater
influence upon the future political af-
fairs OF the State than any other one
thing or perhaps than all other things
combined of purely organization, or
patronage e-considered nature.
In the older days OF the political his
tory of the State, Thurlow Weed and
Peter Cagger used to remark that the
patronage Of the canals was effective
in influencing almost to the point of
control. fully 10000 votes. The expen-
ditures Of the canals in those days
could not have exceeded $1,OO0,OOO
year, including what were known as
extraordinary repairs in which depart
ment the contractors made their
money. Now if the disbursement of
$1,000,000 a year for public works
twenty-five years ago was regarded of
such far-reaching importance. what
snail we say oI lne expenditure OF Hlty
or sixty times that sum and its effect
upon people living within a circle OF
fifteen miles and comprising a variety
of voters unknown in the State at the
time referred to?
Even II we make full allowance of
the operations of the civil service law
and the Improvements and restrictions
which experience has thrown around
the administration of law by officials
where large expenditures of public
money is involved, we shall still be
forced to the conclusion that no such
stupenduous stake of political power
was ever before involved in a single
municipal election.
This fact explains the reason why
the papers, not alone of the great city
but of the entire Union, are turning
their attention to the approaching elec.
tion, and every movement of polite
ians of prominence, is construed as
having some bearing upon the great
contest which is to be fought out in
November. The selection of the two

ious drawings In the open competition
and invited six other architects to take
part in the second competition. The
drawings in the second competition

most meritorious, and is to send them

proval, recommending the author as
the architect for the building. If the
choice of the trustees should fall upon

held the trustees may. as provided in
the terms of the competition, associate
with him in the conduct and execution
OF the work some other architect to be
agreed upon between him and them,

two, according to the division of the
work and responsibility. The jury
will finally decide all differences of

The most recent political sensation
of this sensation-loving town is the
resignation of Col. Fred d. Grant as
Commissioner of Police. The reasons
that are behind this resignation are
not entirely revealed by the published
statements that have been made. While
the reasons that have been given to
the public are undoubtedly among the
most weighty, 1t is not believed that
they are the only reasons that operated
upon Col. Grants mind. The assigned
reason Is one about which there Is
much discussion, as it involves a ques-
