plaques kill in fifty Tens of thousands of
intelligent people recognize that they are
threatened by this deadly disease, but take
no precautions against it.
Consumption approaches its victim step
by step. First there is a little out of
sorts " feeling the digestion isn't just right,
the appetite falls off, the liver is inactive
the assimilation of the life giving elements
of the food is imperfect, the blood gets inn
pure and the body is improperly nourished.
These conditions get worse and worse. The

of the body. The organs that are inherently

SMASH
f. c. Edwards Breaks the Famous Record
of Jack Knowles.

Washington, d. c., March 5.-Teddy
Edwards, Of the New Year Century
Whaelmen, finished his sixty-fourth
consecutive century on a Columbia
chainless bicycle, breaking the famous
record Jack" Knowles made in 1894
on a league chainless.
Edwards started his record breaking
performance in Washington this morn
ing at 10 o'clock and passed the record
mark at 80 in the evening. He is in
the pink" of condition, is gaining
flesh, and considering the tremendous
task he has already finished successful
ly at the very worst season of the year
through weather and over roads that
have been considered utterly impossible
for the cyclist, his record and perfor
nance up to date is nothing less than
marvellous. All through the thousands
Of miles Edwards has already covered,
he has ridden the same bevel geared
chainless without mishap except to the
tire. He very naturally attributes his
success partially to his wheel, which
being sheathed entirely from mud
snow and ice, has stood him in good
stead.
SnOuIu MI. EUW2f0S continue HIS up
to date success. he viii on the sixth
of this month break the worlds rec
ord OF 60 consecutive century held
now by William Anderson and made
on a chainless bicycle. The tremendous
feat that Edwards is accomplishing
seems utterly impossible for a man
OF such slight build, and who is but
an inch taller than Michael, and his
present perfect condition is nothing
less than phenomenal. His exploit is
the greatest that any cyclist has ever
dared to attempt, and more than equals
the famous tour around the world
made by Thomas Stevens.
Edwards mileage on his consecutive
centuries now amounts to six thousand
one hundred miles, and together with
the 2000 miles he rode before starting
on his present effort, his total mileage
is brought TO the figures of 800 miles.
John Freeman, the famous trainer of
bicycle riders, and who has for years
been closely identified with all the rec
ord breaking events of the past fifteen
years, is handling Edwards, and to his
care and excellent Judgment is much of
his present success to be attributed

THE MONEY FORWARDED.
Julian and Roeber Are Anxious for the
Match With the Turk

The sporting editor Of the Register
Yesterday forwarded to George II .
Dickensen, sporting editor Of the New
York Journal the $3.50 placed in his
hands by Martin Julian, To bind d
, match between Ernest Roeber and
Yousouf, the Turk. Yousouf challeng
ed any wrestler in the world for the
championship, and had his $500 on de-
post in the Police Gazette office.
None of the wrestlers accepted his
offer, and the New York World pub
lished a large cartoon illustrating the
Turk as a very fierce looking fellow.
with all the wrestlers fleeing from him
in terror.
Julian and Roeber paid no attention
to the challenge on account of the fact
that the money was in the hands of the
Gazette. When it was transferred to
the Journal, however, the challenge
was promptly accepted. Julian will
deposit the remainder of the money
Tuesday morning, if the two sides can
agree upon terms. Roeber claims the
championship in the Greco-Roman
style, and is not catch-as- catch-can
wrestler. STRANGER" Lewis defeated
him in New Orleans in a catch-as-
catch-can contest He weighs 1S5
pounds in condition, and the Turk will
weigh at least 255 pounds, but with all
this avoirdupois for the Turk. Roeber
is very confident that he can throw
him
Roeber met and defeated the Jap,
who was several years ago heralded as
a world beaten. Their last contest
took place in a rink. The Jap has
an American wife who occupied a seat
in the balcony, and during the contest
she cried out: Kill him, Matt Kill
the Dutchman, my Matt" This
aroused the anger of Roeber He
awaited his opportunity, and when it
came he lifted the Jap on his hands
carried him to a spot just beneath the
woman's seat, and said: Here's your
beloved 'Matsy'" Then he threw him
heavily on the floor, winning the con-
test. Any living man who defeats
Roeber in his style of wrestling, must
be a wonder indeed.

stated that in his opinion the tendency
is to make the interest rate too high
"The downward tendency Of interest
rate is unmistakable," he said He
thought a rate too low preferable to
one too high, and suggested 2 per cent
as prudent and reasonable rate.

Already a PlutOcracy.

Some forms of government may pro-
ceed smoothly independently of what
the people feel or think. An apathetic
republic is a contradiction In terms
A republic must be attended to. Ulti-
mately there is no one to attend TO
it but all the people Let alone. It is
sure to fall into the hands of those
who find it profitable to exploit it in
their own private interests. The peo-
pie have permitted themselves to be
exploited by the politicians in the in
terest of party. power, which in it's
turn is used for plutocratic ends. II is
not so near the truth to say that we
are in danger of becoming a plutocracy
or even tending in that direction as
it is to say that we are already .
plutocracy. All this not because We
have as nation made this deliberate
choice; rather we have apatheticallv
drifted thither.--President Gates. of

Minority Representation.

We shall never have really just and

principle Of minority representation,

minority representation we should al
ways have a minority so strong and so
fairly and directly representative of the
people in our legislative bodies that
no majority could enact vicious or ty-
rannical legislation. By cumulative vot-
ing we should always have the ablest
and most honest men in the nation in
our congresses, legislatures and city
councils. And all shades of opinion
and all classes of reformers would be
fairly represented.
