BICYCLISTS ARE BLUE.
NOT PLEASED WITH THE SIX
MILES AN HOUR ORDINANCE.
Are Making Hard Fight Against
1t, and Hope for It's Defeat at
the Next Meeting of
Council.
Council.

The ordinance introduced at the last
meeting of tie city council by Alderman
Davis regulating the speed of bicycles up
on the sidewalks has thrown consterna-
ton among riders of the wheel.
The ordinance provides that the speed
upon sidewalks shall not be more than
six miles an hour. The cyclists say that
this will have the effect of prohibiting
them the use of sidewalks and putting
them into the streets, as six mile gait is
SO slow that they cannot balance them
selves on their wheels and ride with
any ease or comfort.
The owners of wheels are Thoroughly
aroused and are bringing every possible
influence to bear against the ordinance.
and when it comes up for final action at
the next meeting of the council lively
discussion may be expected between the
aldermen. Alderman Lowrey is cham.
pioning the cause of the wheelmen. and
If the ordinance becomes law il will
do SO yer his strong protest.
The council is pretty evenly divided,
but the bicyclists are inclined to be-
Iieve that the odds are against them.

feeling prevails, wien the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need If tonic and
alteratlYe is felt. A prompt use of this
medicine has often aYerted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi-
cine will act more surely in counterfeit
ing and freeing the system from the ma
larial poison. Headache, indigestion,
constipation, dizziness yield to Electric
Bitters. SOC. and 81 per bottle at Sale
