AN AUGUST WHEEL MEET.
Amateurs Greatly Interested in the
Riverside Cycle Clubs Programme.

Arrangements are being made by the
Riverside Cycle Club for a meet to be
held at the Park Cycle Track on the Con-
duit Road on Tuesday, August s. The
programme has been completed and con-
tains an excellent list of events.
The principal event in point of interest
will no doubt be the race for the one
half mile district championship. The local
amateurs have been looking forward to
this trial of speed for the past month
and much interest has been displayed. 1t
is probable that the race will be one of the
closest and most exciting of the season,
as in former years there has been the
greatest rivalry to carry of its honors.
In addition there will be a one-mile
novice race, a one-mile handicap, one
mile club team race, and an invitation
pursuit race. The novices have at the
meets already held this year put up some
very pretty exhibitions, and the coming
event promises to be no exception TO the
rule, as a large number of entries have
already been made.
An attractive prize list has been arrang
ed. A number of silver cups of different
values have been offered Special events
will be added to the programme.

DO AWAY WITH SLEEP.
Strange Experiment Being Tried
by ORGANIZATION of Wisconsin
University Students.

Madison, Wis, Dec. S.-[Special. IA
very strange experiment is being tried by
an organization of university students to
lengthen working hours. Upon the the
DRY that sleep is, to a large extent, mat
ter of habit and can be lessened by prom
er care of the system the members are
trying to reduce sleeping hours to a mini
mum, consistent with continuing health.
The organization is not in the nature of
a secret society, but it has been working
quietly in order to get the best represen-
tatiyes among the students from the va
rious courses of college, work. The ex-
pertinent was first begun in the Iowa
university and, while it does not appear
to take ON the chara cter of an intercol-
legiate organization, the Wisconsin mem
bers have organized along the lines of
the Iowa university club. The theory
upon which the members are working is
to get such control over the body as to
keep one part Of the system at rest while
the other part works; in other words
avoiding unnecessary waste of vital ener-
gies. Thomas A. Edison, the great in
yentor, is the eXpositor of this theory
The method, as it is given out, is to les
sen the sleeping hours gradually and so
accustom the system to it by degrees
The extreme limit fixes rest at not more
than four hours night, thus lengthen-
ing the working day some three or four
hours,

HORTON WAS HANGED.
Horrible Crime of Washington Man
Expiated-Preside Refused
to Interfere.

Washington, D. c., Dec. S.-George
W. Horton was hanged in the district
jail for the murder of Jane Nicholson
The drop fell at 1912.
Horizons crime was one Of the most
cold-blooded murders ever committed in
the district. Horton was an ex-member
of the police force, and Mrs. Nicholson
was divorced woman. On the evening
of June "a, 1898, he met the woman in
Armory park. and in the conversation
which ensued she announced her deter
mination to break off the relations which
existed between them. AS she arose
from the bench to leave him, he drew a
pocket-knife and slashed her across the
throat. In frenzy of rage he stabbed
her again and again, almost severing her
head from her body. Nearly 100 per-
sons witnessed the murder, but were too
paralyzed with horror to interfere. He
made no attempt to escape and yielded
quietly to arrest. His defense was in
sanity and after his conviction repeated
attempts were made to secure executive
clemency. The President, however. de-
clined to interfere with the sentence
Horton was married man.

Forgaye His Debtors.

The last act in the life of Uncle Henry
Bowen, venerable citizen of Hum
phreys county, was the invocation to
s'Forgive us our debts as we forgive our
Debtors" and he practiced what he
prayed. A messenger was dispatched to
summon all his debtors to the bedside Of
the dying patriot, and they came under
the apprehension of being called on to
settle, but the old man gave each one the
note held against him and thus squared
the account. Several thousand dollars
indebtedness was wiped out by his phil
anthrOpy. Banner
