WIND TO AID BICYCLISTS
An improvement which 1t Is Claimed
viii Develop High Speed.


A new bicycle improvement makes

says the New York Journal. The com.
bination, it is claimed, develops ex-
ceedingly high speed. The inventor.
NJ. Demange of Commercy, France, de-
clares that by his plan the oycllst may
ride at a speed of from twelve TO nj
teen miles an hour with no exertion at
all. except that required in guiding the
machine. The contrivance is IN form
a sort of turbine arrangement, some
thing like a gourd followed out, cut III
"gores," and the "gores" turned ut
tie on their axes. This turbine Is
placed on dual rods, vertically attached
to the forward wheel of the bicycle. A
bar projects from the center of the
handle bars outward, and to TINS Is at
tached the top of the turbine. Inc
turbine revolves on it's axis and catches
enough wind to give the forward
wheel an added impetus. NO matter
from what direction the wind blows the
turbine catches it, and by attachment
with the hub of the front wheel com

These rods work up and down ike the

way accelerate the motion in great de-
gree. This invention is marked de-
parture from those designed TO give
motion to a bicycle without the rlder
aid. Gasoline, electricity and Pc

THE GODDARD CASE
A Verdict Of Guilty of Second Degree
Murder

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 4.-Murder
in the second degree was the verdict
rendered at a late hour tonight in the
case of DR.. Jefferson D. Goddard, the
druggist, who shot and killed Fred J..
Jackson, laundryman, in the apart
ments Of Jackson's wife at the Wood
lawn hotel. The case was given to the
jury at o'clock this afternoon. The YER.
dict Of the jury fixes the penalty at six
teen years in the state penitentiary.
The case has been sensational from the
first. The tragedy developed the fact
that Mrs. Jackson, who is wealthy, hav-
ing acquired all the property of her hus-
band before his death, set Goddard up
in the drug business, and the dead mans
relatives charged conspiracy between
the wife and Goddard to put Jackson out
of the way. When DR.. Goddard was
first tried for the crime, further ser!sa-
tion was created by the action Of Mrs
Jackson and the three young daughters
Of the murdered man. They took the
part of the accused druggist, whose plea
was self-defense, and went to extreme
measures to defend him. The first trial,
which resulted in hung jury, provoked
suspicious of jury bribing.
The beginning of the second trial was
followed by the sensational arrest uf
two local politicians, one former just
ice of the peace, for attempting to bribe
jurors. These charges are still pending.

STEAMER RATES
Likely to Affect the Transcontinental
Schedules


CHICAGO, Dec. At is possible that
the transcontinental roads will be COM
PEELED to meet the same trouble that
has caused the roads between Chicago
and Missouri river points to reduce their
freight rates. The arrangements that
the steamship companies have made be-
tween New York and the Gulf of Mexico
ports from there to San Francisco with
the Southern Pacific have proven 50
satisfactory to shippers that it is alto
gether likely that they will send much
freight in that way If they are named
equal rates via the district mail routes
Freight shipped via steamer from New
York via Houston to San Francisco have
been carried through in nine and half
days, which is fast enough for the aver
age shipper, and with lower rates this
method Of getting freight to the Pacific
coast is bound to prove a strong COM
petitor of the straight mail routes.
