Good Bicycle Brakes.

A cycling philosopher says that a
good brake is like good common sense
and we'll balanced judgment-it will
restrain the natural tendency to impet-
uosity when most needed. He might
have added that the possession and use
of good brake is prima facie evidence
that the rider is not lacking in common
sense and Judgment.

The Greek Indians Of the Indian Terri

The Greek Indians of the Indian Terri
tory have finally consented to an allot-
ment in severalty of their reservation
lands and an abandonment of the tribal
relations, and the treaty with the Dawes
committee was tc have been formally
signed on yesterday. This will be the
settlement finally arrived at with all the
Indians in the United States, which
means the gradual fading away of the
Indian as t. distinct race in this country.
The dnello is still much in vogue in
Austria, as we'll ms in France in the set
Element Of personal difficulties, and as
the fighters in the irst-named country
seem to prefer the pistol to the sword
such encounters are more serious there
than in France. Fortunately, the duel
is rarely resorted to nowadays in this
country, even in the South, where at
QUE time it was the popular method of
settling "affa'rs of honor" snd il is
hoped the day is not far distant when
such combats will be as infrequent here
as in England.

speaking in regard to the company's
contemplated improvements along their
road in tine vicinity Of Garvanza. said
to a Herald reporter last evening: You
know we already have quite tract of
land near there and we are now nego-
tiating for more. Just as soon as we Sc
cure it we are going ahead with the
extensive improvements formerly men,
toned in The Herald. At present we
are doing nothing there. as we are de-
sirous first of getting the land. 1t is
true surveyors have been looking over
the ground as well as others whose SER
vices, we will need later on"
What Is the estimated cost OF this
new park and other improvements pro-
jected near Garvanza?" asked the re-
porter.
"Well, that is a question am unable
to answer at present. Sometimes when
one starts In on an enterprise 1t costs
much more than at first anticipated. We
will this summer II our present plans are
carried out, spend at least $4,000 IN
beautifying the grounds and erecting
buildings, etc Then 1t might be that be-
fore the place Is made as attractive as
the company desires, the amount OF ex-
penditures may reach 500, 900. However

people until 1891 the land tax was in
troduced. The result of the land tax
was that all the large tracts were put
upon the market. The government also
bought up and subdivided immense
tracts of land and great numbers of in
telligent men had gone on the land to
work it, helped in every possible way
by the government. This relieved the
cities and helped the people. Later the
