of the police by n most opportune acci-
dent. The horse he was riding STUN
bled at Seventeenth and Penn streets
and threw Kennedy upon the icy curb
stone. He was knocked senseless and
in that condition was carried into
grocery store and held till the police
came. The articles found on Kennedy
were:
A false heard. which was tied TO HIS face when
he was carried unconscious into the store;
black hood mask with eye holes; a railroad
lantern wrapped in payer and hung oeneath ms

revolver.
1t is said that the revolver found on
Kennedy was the same one found In
his possession when he was arrested
for holding up Chicago & Alton train

NOTES AWHEEl.

At the approaching national assembly
an amendment to admit professionals
to L. A. w. membership will certainly
be introduced, and it is almost assured
that it will be passed.
People who do not care for the chain
less wheel can get great bargains in
chain wheels next season, and. perhaps,
will be just as well satisfied to stick
to the old favorite for year or two
longer.
Cycle paths are not an unmixed bless
ing, as imagined by most wheelmen;
indeed, they are in the end rather a
detriment TO the sport. Farmers and
others who must drive on the abomina-
BILE roads which prevail in this coun-
try, except in few states, are highly
indignant when they see wbeelmen
spinning on the path. while they are
toiling in the ruts of the adjacent road,
and they are not inclined to tax the
township or county to pay for such
selfish Injuries.

Mistake of a Minnesota Farmer Who
Built a Home on Another Mans Lot.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. 29.-The SUI
preme court of Minnesota decided
that man who builds house on
another's lot has no claim to the house
nor can he enforce lien against the
lot for its value. This affirms the
decision of the lower court in
the case of Coleman Bridgeman,
who erected a house on what he
thought was his lot, but which
belonged to a neighbor. He was re-
fused permission to move his house to
his own property, and the lower court
which adjudicated the case declared
he had no right or title to the house,
as it became part of his neighbours
lot when erected on it.

COAL PRICES TO GO UP.

In Order to Meet Miners Demands Opera
tors VIII Raise S7,OOO,OOO by a Sweep
ing Increase.
CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-When the coal
operators and the miners concluded
their conference in Chicago on Wednes-
day night the miners were $1,000, 900
ahead, and the peace that lowered
was beautiful to behold. The re-
suit was chronicled as the greatest
victory in the history of organized Ia
Dor. Now it appears that the opera
tors have not forgotten themselves in
passing around the good things, for
on April they will push up the whole
sale price of coal 25 cents at least and
perhaps more. That increase, it is
figured, will more than recoup the
operators for the 81, 1000, 900 outlay to
appease the miners.

A Baltimore special says that science
now steps in and announces that it can
manufacture butter and cheese direct
from grass and corn without the inter-
mediation of the COW. Willard G. Day,
of that city, declares he has discovered
a process whereby, with the aid of cleo
tricity, butter can be made directly
from the vegetables which form the
chief food of the COW. We may pasture
the electric current on turnips for but
ter, but it is probable that the tough and
leathery cow will retain the monopoly
of the beefsteak business for some time
to come.
