w. L. I. Bicycle Club.

Four members Of the Washington Light
Infantry bicycle Club left the city Tues
day morning, July 6, for 8 tour of several
weeks through the Shenandoah Valley. The
party consisted Of S. Porter House, Sheridan
Lee, Ed. Zea and Harry Lee. The party
proceeded to Round Hill, via Leesburg, and
at this point an accident occurred that
nearly resulted in the death OF one of rhe
riders and spoiled the pleasure OF the whole
trip While coming down d mountain side
Sherry Lee lost control of his wheel, and
when within q few hundred feet of the
bottom OF the incline he struck water
break which threw him. He sailed through
the air and landed on his temple and re-
NAMED on the ground. Harry Lee fell off
his wheel on the same hill and escaped with
slight injuries, and the other two riders
suffered likewise. When his companions
reached Lee there was not an inch of clear
skin on his face.
The unconsclous man was picked UP anG
carried to a nearby farmhouse and a doc
tor summoned. He remained uE con-
scious for nearly twenty-four hours, dur
ing which time his friends watched over
him, and at 12:40 O'Clock Wednesday he
was sent home ON the train, his father
meeting him at Vienna, and having him
carried to his home at 334 G street north
west. The Injury resulted in concussion of
the brain, and the young man was fortu-
late la escaping with his life. He VIII
probably remain in bed for week or sc
longer.
The other members of the party, after
sending Lee home, rode up to Winchester
and Strasburg and other places of inter
est, coming back by way OF Charlestown
to Harper's Ferry, where the train was
taken for home, reaching the city about
II o'clock last Tuesday evening.
No run has been called for tomorrow.

A Convenient Invention.

An Orangeburg farmer comes to the
front with a new invention in the
shape of a Lubricator for oiling We
hicle wheels without taking them off
the axle. 1t is inserted in the hub
between two of the spokes. When
you want to grease your wheel all you
have to do is to withdraw a plunger,
which operates with a spring, and put
as much oil as is needed on the axle.
Upon being released the spring closes
up the oil hole until it is opened for
oiling up again. It is a very ingeni-
GUS and clever device. and is bound to
be used generally. With these lubri;
Gators vehicle can be oiled up any
where along the road in less than one
minute. The patent for this valuable
invention is owned by the National
Lubricator Company of Orangeburg,
8. .. Mr.. Jas. L. Sims, Editor and
Proprietor of the Orangeburg Times
and Democrat, is the manager of the
company, which is guarantee that it
is all right. The company wants an
agent in this county to sell the Lubri-
Gators. See advertisement in another

The Worst in Thirty Years,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The general
forecast issued by the Weather Bureau
tonight says that the temperature has
fallen in the South Atlantic and East
Gulf States and Tennessee and has
risen slowly in all other districts. It
continues below freezing in the South
ern States, except Florida, and is be-
low zero in the Northwest as far South
as Iowa and Northern Illinois. Snow
prevails tonight on the Atlantic coast
North of South Carolina and in the
Lake regions and upper Ohio Valley.
The cold wave that has gone over the
United States during the past several
days is one of the severest, considering
both the low temperatures that pre-
vailed in many places and the vast ex-
tent of the area covered, that has been
recorded by the Weather Bureau in its
thirty years of existence. The South
today had an unusal experience.
Throughout Texas, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, Alabama and a large portion of
Georgia, fall of snow from one to
three inches in depth is reported to the
Weather Bureau.

Goes for Morton.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-In The
Honse today Mr.. Dearmond, Demo
crat of Missouri, made an attack, in the
course of speech, on Secretary ot
Agriculture Morton. With biting
sarcasm and rasping irony, he scored
the Secretary Of Agriculture, taking
as his text recent publication issued
by the Secretary and sent out over the
country under frank, entitled "The
Farmers Interest in Finance" The
pamphlet reviewed the silver agitation
to show that poverty and illiteracy'
characterized the States which had
been foremost in the demand for the
restoration of silver. Mr.. Dearmond
asserted that the demand for silver
came chief y from the farmers whose
interest the Secretary of Agriculture
was supposed to look after, and asked
contemptuously what excuse there
was for issuing to them .'this SANDER,
this travesty on facts" No one took
Secretary Morton seriously nowadays
The world was no longer interested in
his views on finance, although il
might look with expectation for any
observation he might make on the
woodchuck, the hedge hog or the eye
of the potato. Addressing the Repub
lican side, he appealed to them to re
cognize Secretary Morton's services
even though they refused to accept the
responsibility for him. "Of course.
said he, you will not keep him in his
present position, but you might pu,
him in the national museum" In
conclusion, Mr.. Dearmond commend
ed to the prsyerful consideration of the
Republicans "this curiosity of modern
political life, whose popularity was
that he talked when he was not writ
ing and wrote when he was not talk
ing, and did both when he was no
thinking.
