Topk Laudanum bv Mistake.

Last Friday evening Mr.. ]. A. Frost
was out in the neighborhood of Broad
well and spending the night with a
relative. He has for some time been
troubled with cough, and on the eve
ming spoken of he was seized with a
very bad fit of coughing. Mrs. John
ston, the lady of the house where he
was stopping, safd she had some cough
medicine there that she would give
HIM and she thought that It would re-
lleve him. She accordingly got the
medicine and gave him teaspoonful
of 1t, but when she went to replace the
bottle on the shelf, she saw that the
cough remedy was in it's place and
looking at the bottle which she still
held in her hand. she saw with horror
that she had given him laudanum.
1t was well that she saw the error
when she hid, as the dose was quite
sufficient to have h.Aed him. Emetics
were promptly used and the effects of
the drug were overcome, but Mr..
Frost does not care to repeat the ex-
perience.

Parties in this city and in Granville

for high water in Raccoon creek, en-

Dubuque's Athletic Carnival is the
Principal Topic OF Interest
Among Sports at This Time.

The gallant twenty-round contest put up
by Eddie Santry against George Dixon in
New York last Friday night has done much
to raise the stock Of Santry in his coming
match with Tommy White before the
Dubuque Athletic association, as the second
card OF the three nights carnival OF August
20, 80 and 81. A story in this connection
will not be out of the way. Santry was
originally booked to meet Dixon at Parson
Davies club in st. Louis. late in July.
Before this contest was stopped Santry
signed to meet White for the welterweight
championship, 126 pounds, by Manager
Houseman. When the authorities at st.
Louis declined to permit the Dixon-Santry
contest Manager O'Rourke of the Broadway
Athletic club made a bid to transfer the
contest to Greater Gotham. In the arti-

IN THE WHEELING WORLD

The new bicycle trust Is not progressing
as smoothly as its promoters hoped for. IN
side Jews of the cause of the friction is
difficult to obtain, but enough rumors are
current in trade circles to Indicate a few
Irritating punctures in the tires CT the
trust. First, the inability of the promoters
to gather in all the leading manufacturers
was a severe setback. The failure of banks
and moneyed men to rush for the stock and
bonds of the trust was an unexpected frost.
The original figures were halved-cut from
$50, 900, 900 to $40, 600, O00-and even this
amount found no takers outside the men,
bers forming the combine. The latest diff
Guilty is to find a head sufficiently level to
keep the trust afioat.
The combine is far from controlling the
destinies of the trade. 1t is doubtful IL it
controls one-half the product, and those out
side are ready to give battle to the combine
as soon as it reaches the firing line. At
present the jobbing and retail trades are
undisturbed, as a change Of prices is impos-
sible under existing conditions.
Teddy Edwards. who holds the phenom-
email record of covering $50 consecutive daily
centuries. announces that next spring he
will attempt to break the record between
San Francisco and New York. Edwards is

Francisco. He is making the trip to the
coast by easy stages. Edwards found two
factors to contend with in his ride to Chi
cago. He says that from Albany west the
wind was almost constantly against him, and
he also found that the hills were sleeper
going than returning. For that reason Ed
wards intends to try for the record from
San Francisco, as he thinks 1t much easier.
The record which Edwards hopes to break
is thirty-seven days, but he expects he can
cover the distance In less than a month.
On his journey back Edwards will be paced
by relays all the way.
What is undoubtedly the most remarkable
cycling machine in the world has just been

see every danger ahead instead of being
compelled by their misfortune to trust en-
