VENUS SINKS.

Little steamer Goes Down without Warm
ing in Ten Feet of Water.
The little steamer Venus, owned by
Capt. Duffy, and which has been tied
to the bank in the mouth Of the Mus
kingum short distance below the
railroad bridge, sank in ten feet of
water Sunday morning. Mr.. james
Duffy and four other men employed on
the boat were in the cabin and had to
hustle to save themselves. The acci-
dent occurred about four o'clock in the
morning and the boat was on the bot
tom in very few minutes after she
was first discovered to be settling.
The cause OF her sinking is not
known, but it is supposed to have been
due to the water supply pipe freezing ur
and bursting, allowing the hold to be
flooded. The boat is well covered by
insurance and will not be touched un'
til the adjuster arrives here. She is
now upright, resting squarely on the
bottom, with her ca bin two-thirds sub
merged. II the river continues rising
rapidly the boat will soon be out o.
sight.

TRY TO BE SENSIBLE.
Do Not Let Your bicycle Become an
Instrument of Mischief 20 Your
self Or others.

Bicycle riding up a steep grade, ac-
cording to the physicians, imposes a
sudden and severe strain upon the ac-
ton of the heart. The remedy is sim
pie. Dismount and trundle your wheel
up the grade. Many from a weak and
foolish pride refuse to do this. They
fancy they will be taken for new rid
ers or poor ones, so they tug and push
away until they reach the summit of
the grade with their hearts beating
a tattoo in their breasts and their faces
afame with unnatural exertion.
Many riders are sensible enough to
walk up steep grades. 1t is no sign
of experiences to do foolish things on
the wheel, such as riding up hills that
ought to be walked, or riding CEN
turtles on hot day, or humping ones
self like monkey for the sake of look
ing like a racer. All these and many
other practices INDUCED in by weak
minded bicyclists are seriously iniur-
ing the reputation of the wheel. The
man is a fool who on a blazing hot
day takes the sunny side of the streets
when he could just as well walk in
the shade. There is no heroism in
useless exposure of ones self either to
bullets or sunstroke. Brainy men and
brave ones exercise judgment and pru-
dence.
There are thousands of bicyclists
among the readers of this nanpr the
majority Of whom, we hope, employ
the wheel for their pleasure and profit
and are not slaves to the foolish no.
tions about it which chiefly character.
ize the hoodlums and scorchers. The
wheel is all right if it is employed
sensibly, but like a friction match. a
pocket knife, or any other convenient
and useful article, it may be abused
and become an instrument of mischief
to the rider or to others.-Rocheste
Democrat.
