The bicycle wedding is the latest craze ia

1t is probable that the output of bicycles

There Is no truth in the report that Governor
Bradley Is to have an Office under Mckinley.
Governor Bradley himself gays that he has
written Mckinley n letter saying that he
would not accept any Office within the gilt
OF the President.
The Senate muddle has doubtless helped
to drive Governor Bradley from Office. The
candidate who can be elected by the Legisla-
ture. DR.. Hunter. is unacceptable to Cover
nor Bradley, and he declines to call an ex-
ira session. Should he appoint his friend,
John W. Yerkes, Governor Bradley would
