bending of the slightly elastic bicycle
frame. This action cramps or disar-
ranges the gears, thus throwing them
out of true working position, and de-
stroys the effective operation thereof.
another effect of this invention is
to provide in connection with the gears
adjacent to the pedal shaft, flexible
or non-rigid driving connection capable
of rotating one set of gears from the
other and adapted to have a lateral
and longitudinal movement, thereby
causing the same to automatically adj
just itself to any changes that may
occur in the relative position of said
gears.
Each set of gearing in this bicycle
has a normally fixed but relatively ad-
Unstable bearing, and the devices con-
nected with one side shaft gear are in
terchangable with those of the others.
The side shaft gears are also provided
with long hubs or spindles having adj
Unstable ball bearings at their opposite
ends, these gears being mounted within
the ends of a tubular holder or re-
movable casing having adjusting and
locking connections with the pedal
shaft and driving wheel brackets.

The clerks surprise was intensified when

TWIN CITIES INTERESTED
In the Cattle Trail Across the Rose
bud Reservation.

PIERRE, S. D., Oct. 19.-The persist
ence with which the efforts to secure
cattle trail across the Rosebud reserva-
ton is being pushed, would indicate
that there is a far stronger force be-
hind it than the few Nebraska cattle
men, who appear on the surface. Far
from being a purely local matter. 1t Is
one in which the Twin Cities have a
vital interest. 1t has in it the solving
of the question as to whether the trade
of the western half of South Dakota
shall go to Omaha or to Minneapolis
and St. Paul. Already Minneapolis has
captured the trade of the Black Hills
country, which, at one time, went
largely to the Northwestern cities, and
by the means of this cattle trail will
secure an opening to all the range
country. The mere trail alone, would
not do this, but it would open the way
to accomplish the desired result
At present, the Rosebud and Pine
Ridge Indian reservations stand as a
bar to Omaha gaining a railway en-
trance to the range country, but If a
''cattle traiP' were opened across either
Of these reservations, it would not be
a ''far cry for a powerful railroad
corporation to secure entrance through
the gateway thus secured, and push
into the, at present, unoccupied coun-
try and divert all the cattle trade to
the southwest, and with it all the other
trade Of a section of country larger

sibility of excellence and completeness
under present conditions-under any
conditions that are likely to arise.
Some Of it's points of superiority over
a chain-driven wheel, it says, are:
1t will go faster and further with
less effort 1t is much easier to keep
clean. Every molten is positive-no
back lash. 1t has no links or teeth to
catch things" It's driving mechanism
is always thoroughly fabricated. Its
motive parts are not affected by the
weather-by rain, mud or dust. It's
bevel-gears actually improve with use,
While a chain deteriorates from the
first. 1t saves repair money, work
and worry, and increases the safety
and delight of cycling. 1t removes the
one serious source of danger that every
bicycler realizes, and substitutes con-
fidence for dread The weak part of a
chain-and- sproclzet bicycle is the chain,
The bevel-gears Of the chainless wheel
will outlast any other important part
of the machine.

AMONG THE JOBBERs.
Points of the Trade of Most Interest
Just Now.

Now
It was a wise merchant who made
heavy purchases during the summer.
During the past few months, in most
lines Of merchandise, the prices nave
been going up and up and up, until
in some particular classes of stock
the advance has been fully 40 per
cent. Especially is this noticeable
in the wooden goods, and particularly
the imported woOlenS, and the rise is
attributed to the Dingley tariff OF
course, the retailer does not suffer by
this advance-it is the consumer who
pays the tax-but the dealer who had
foreseen and prepared for the rise
is in a position to undersell his COM
petitors.
In speaking of this, Max Schwab,
Of S. Schwab & Brother, said to a
Clio b e reporter yesterday: Ihere
has been an advance OF 40 per cent
in some lines of our stock, notably
in Australian wooden underwear. A
ribbon man was in our place today
and told me that ribbons had gone
up % per cent; all this, of course, can
be attributed directly to the Dingley
bill. Did the retailer prepare for 1t?
No sir. Why, to illustrate that to
YOU. two of our best customers or
dered a big lot of underwear along
in July. and then contaminated the
orders over some little question of
dating. A few weeks later they again
ordered the goods, but the prices had
advanced 81 a dozen-and they stood
the rise, too.
I'VE are doing considerable bust
ness now in sorting up stocks on or
ders for duplicates, which will con-
tinue until well into the winter. Those
bills are frequently higher than the
first orders, taken by the men on the
road"
''There is one peculiar feature in
the wholesale trade, and that is the
tendency of retailers to buy in the
East" said I. H Arthur, Of Arthur
& Sternberg. ''Send a travelling man
to the Westward and he can sell goods
without trouble and with no question:
ing of price, but the moment ne gets
to the Eastward of his city, he has
to fight for orders and cut prices to
the lowest notch. 1 suppose that the
retailer figures that he can get later
STYLES and lower prices from houses
nearer the Eastern metropolis than he
can from the concerns to the West
ward.
"a few years ago we sent men to
the Pacific coast and up and down the
coast. We had no trouble in Compel
ing with the San Francisco houses.
Then, when the hard times came on,
we drew in the lines. There is gen.
eral tendency to expand as times i'm
prove, and we will probably extend
our campaign to the Pacific shores
again in the near future"
"The tariff cuts but small figure in
the iron and steel business" said Jesse
a, Gregg, Of Nicells & Dean except
that It prevents other countries from
making a dumping ground Of America
for their surplus We import very lit
tie fron-and that comes from Norway
and practically no steel whatever,
while we export thousands Of tons Of
it, sending it right to England, too. The
price of American tool steel Is eight to
ten cents per pound; English tool steel
is eighteen to twenty cents in this
country, and about thirteen or fourteen
in England. It is no better than the

eve recently made a nice sale re
steel, three carloads of it, for the Kellar
ter, to be used in the manufacture Of
drags. Orders like that show business
is picking up"
con Oct. 1, there was a general adj
vance of per cent on rubber boots and
shoes, probably caused by the tariff"
said James Suydam, of the Goodyear
Rubber company. Business has been
very good this fall with US, though we
can stand little colder weather"
you would be surprised at the num-
Der of Klondike outfits we sold this
year." remarked r. S. Kennedy, Of
Kennedy & Brothers. "They will num-
Der up to a hundred at least, and in
clude guns, ammunition and cold-proof
clothing. st. Paul is a good Quitting
point for the Alaska bound miner"
Wemott, Howard & Co. report an adj
vance of from 10 to 1917 per cent in
all lines of imported crockery ware,
due to the Dingley bill, and there has
been slight advance of domestic ware
in sympathy. They report a general
Improvement in the trade and it is con-
siderably better than year ago.
This has been a very good season
for the fruit commission man, and the
prices favor the consumer" said j. W.
De Camp, of De Camp & Boyer. ZAP
pies will be high, though. The receipts
show up better quality, now that the
hot-Weather-packed apples are dis
posed of, but the receipts are light,
and all first-clasS stock is taken UP
quickly The buyers seem to think
the majority of the fine stock is III
the hands of the cold storage men, who
will advance the prices; in fact, they
all think that the prices will go higher
and the packers, like the farmers, are
holding on for a rise.
"About the last Of the California fruit
is in, except pears. We are just getting
the first of the Mexican oranges and
they are of very fine quality.
J. H. Allen, of J. H. Allen & Co.,
reports that the business Of that con-
Germ shows a big Improvement over
year ago, but the collections are little
slow, as the farmer is not marketing
his wheat yet, taking advantage of the
fine weather to do his other fall work.
The banquet to be given to the job
bers tomorrow evening by the Com
mercial club, is quite the talk in the
wholesale district, and the indications
point to a large attendance. The lead
ing jobbing houses of the city have
promised to have one or more represen-
tative present, and the railway COM
panies will also be represented. A re-
quest has been sent to J. ]. Hill, OF
the Great Northern, asking his attend
ance.

Kirk & Co., has gone East for short
vacation, and will attend the annual

sold for $40, while the gray stallion
o NJ sold for $40 and the bay mare
Halo at the same figure.
The bay gelding King Chimes start

all the way around, and the latter won
the fifth heat in a grand drive down

The finding, as outlined in the letter,
is regarded as taking favorable view
of the settlement reached between ;he
federal and local governments. It
states that where interests differ but
do not clash. the church desires that
there shall be harmony" This is in
terrreted to mean that both church
and state have an interest in educa-
ton. enc in the religious and the other
the secular phases, and where both
can attain their object without sac
rifce of cardinal principle in one sys-
tenn of schools these may be adopted by
