CAPITAL CITY WHEELMEN.
They Will Prosecute the Destroyers
Of Dedicated Pathways.

"a OOA4C6SCO I q t3A ~ aySs
At the meeting of the Capital City
Wheelmen last evening the use of the
clubrooms was unanimously granted to
the proposed organization of sports
men, who propose to organize with a
view to better enforcement of the game
laws and the furtherance of the inter-
ests Of sportsmen generally. The rooms
will be at the command of the sports
men on any evening or any day they
may designate.
f. A. Garfield was reappointed FL
nancial Agent of the club for the year
1899. The membership certificates for
the new year were ordered issued at
once. An amendment to the bylaws
was proposed and ordered bulletined
the requisite two weeks, proposing to
erect as standing body a committee
to be known as the Social Committee.
Hobart Pierson was elected Club His
torian for 1899.
The club appointed a special commit
tee to ascertain who the persons are
who have been driving and riding
horses on the sidewalk path along the
east side of Thirtieth street This path
was constructed by the city at cost
of $3.50, and was dedicated as a side
walk for the convenience of pedestrians
and as wheelpath for bicyclists. 1t has
proved of the utmost value to the peo-
pie, and to be the most Travelled route
by them between the north and south
lines of the city and to Oak Park.
Recently some persons, utterly disre-
garding their obligations as citizens,
and in defiance of the law, have been
riding and driving horses upon it to it's
great damage. The club resolved to
ferret out the offenders and prosecute
them to the full penalties of the law.
1t will also ask the city, when the
storm is over, to repair the damage
done by the vanda1s.
The Executive Committee reappointed
George Stroner, DR.. TODD and Ammon
Clay Auditing Committee for the year
1899. The President announced that
at an early day there would be a con-
vention of all the standing commit
tees of the club to confer with regard
to club policy, membership, the open
ing Of the riding season, roads, streets
and paths, and other matters of club
and quasi-rublic interest.

LIVE WIRES.
A Broken Electric Cable Made
Things Very Lively.

There was considerable excitement
caused at Seventh and P streets about
half-past 5 o'clock last evening by a
live electric wire, or cable, carrying a
powerful current, swapping off and one
end falling to the ground.
The cable was fully a half-inch in
diameter, and in falling it fell across
the P-street car trolley wire, the end
lying in the gutter for some twenty
or thirty feet. Just then car came
down the street, but stopped when it's
trolley pole was within a few inches
of the crossed wires. Presently the
cable lying in the gutter became a
mass of sputtering fame, sending up
clouds of smoke and roaring like
steam fire engine running with a full
head of steam.
The noise, fire and smoke attracted
people from all directions, and it was
with difficulty that children and
thoughtless adults were kept from be-
ing killed, as the big cable had broken
several smaller wires that rested on
the current charged trolley wire and
dangled downward in the darkness.
While awaiting help from the power
station the carmen started up the car
and attempted to dash through the
fireworks. But the car became en-
tangled in some of the smaller wires
and had to stop. Finally a couple of
linemen arrived, and one of them
climbed the mast supporting the broken
cable for the purpose of cutting the
latter. Many of the bystanders ex-
pected to see him come tumbling down
again, but the man knew his business.
Pulling on a pair of rubber gloves,
he grasped the heavily charged cable
with one hand. about fifteen feet
above the ground, while with the other
he succeeded in cutting it in two. Then
the fireworks and roar ceased, the
wires were all disengaged. the car re-
sumed its trip and the crowd dispersed.
Fortunately nobody was injured.

The facts of the case were published
in these columns on Sunday morning.
The statement has since been errone-
ously made that after the arrest of
Holmes and Mosher for robbing Au-
gust Posten the latter's watch was de-
livered to Officer Bagley. The latter
says he obtained the watch several
hours before the Real Thing" proprie-
tors were taken in out of the wet. They
had reason to suppose that Bagley was,
so to speak, "onto their game" so the
watch was sent to the officer at his
home 'stt

spain,s sunken Ships Floated.

Perhaps the greatest mechanical feat of
the century has been the raising of some
of the Spanish warships which were ap-
parently shot to pieces at Santiago. 1t
seemed utterly impossible to float them
because of the terrible damage inflicted
by our guns, but the task has been ac-
conplished. Diseases of the blood, stom-
ach and liver frequently wreck the
health SO that there appears to be no
chance of recovery. But when Hostel

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co.
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one In avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance Of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken

Air the Bedding.

A great help toward having we'll
aired bedding is a wire stretched
tightly across a corner of the bed
room. Choose an airy corner, be-
tween two open windows if possible.
Have the wire 6 feet or more from
the floor and spread the bedding on
the wire the frat thing every morn
ing. Two parallel wires foot
apart are still better. This will air
the bedding and keep it cleaner
than spreading it on chairs or over
the footboard. The room will also
look better than with the bedding
spread out on chairs. Put the bed
ding out doors in the breeze and
sun once week.

Milk Clean.

The richest milk is that which
comes from the udder last, as to
leave gill may be to leave one
half of the butter fat. All cows
should be stripped" when MIXED,
not only to secure the whole of the
milk, but to prolong the milking
period, as cows that are not MIXED
in a careful manner will dry off
sooner. The amount of fat in the
milk of cows largely depends upon
how completely the milking is done,
yet that important matter is not
considered by some dairymen as
they employ mixers without regard
to their qualifications.

FOR THE FARMER.
Poultry suggestions.

If hens are overfat, do not at
tempt to carry them over.
Study poultry from d practical
standpoint, just as other stock upon
the farm is studied.
There is no fear of losing any
thing by sending clean eggs and
nice looking poultry to market.
Moulting is strain on the sys.
tenn, and the bird should have good
feed and protection from cold winds.
A wet hen is not a comfortab BILE
hen, even in warm weather; and
she ought to have protection from
storms.
Breeders who do not wish to
Winter all the stock on hand are
anxious to sell, and it is a good
time to buy.
The farmers family should con-
sumo more poultry and eggs and
less pork. They are among the
most valuable foods.
There is nothing in its relation
to the hen-house that is more i'm
portant than whitewash and a
whitewash brush, if they are used.
The fact that so much poultry is
sold is prima facie evidence that
poultry raising is profitable. Poul-
try, too, brings qnick returns.
Feeding corn night and morning
is the sum total of poultry manage
ment on thousands of farms; and
there is no money in that sort of
management.
Better breeds, better roosts, better
feeding, less stuffing, less vermin
and cleaner houses would be worth
millions of dollars to American
farmers; and they are all easy of
adoption.
1t is never wise to buy breeding
stock at the beginning of the breed
ing season. Buy it before, so that
it will have become used to its new
surroundings before the breeding
season commences.

dressed fowl should be wrapped in

Coal Ashes In Orchards.

Coal ashes certainly is valuable
article for fruit trees, especia lily the
peach. I have tried it and find nc
insects will stay where coal ashes
are applied-not even ants. Apply
by scraping away little of the
earth around base of the tree, and
make a little mound of ashes
around the trunk. When the tree
is affected with borers make the
mound higher than when the ruin
GUS worms are at work. Throw
some ashes up against the trunk OF
the tree, also, and the borers and
other insect pests will leave. Oh
course, | don't claim that this will
protect the fruit on the trees; you
should use the poison spray for that
/ am satisfied, however, that coal
ashes will protect all plants from
insects, 30 don't throw them away
any more, but try them and you
will be convinced, I think.

Water for Cows.

Experiments show that a COW,
when in full flow of milk, drinks
from 1900 to 1000 pounds OF water
per month, the average quantity,
determined by testing herd, being
1860 pounds per cow This fact
shows the importance of an unlimit.
ed supply OF pure water at all sea-
sons of the year. In every 100
quarts of milk the farmer sells
about SO quarts of water, and when
the cows can not procure water at
all times they will fall off in yield.

To Keep Onions.

To keep onions over Winter, put
them in dry location, shch as a
barn loft, and spread them on the
floor or on shelves, in thin layers.
If they should happen to freeze it
would not damage them, provided
they are not disturbed when frozen.
They should be covered with sheets
of paper in order to assist in pre-.
venting sudden thawing, but u.s.
ually, if the layers of onions are not
too thick, and the location is dry,
they will keep without difficulty.

The natives of New Mexico seem
to have an original way of training
shepherd dogs. A pup is taken
from it's mother as soon after birth
as possible (the breed of dog is i'm
materially. The young of sheep
or goat is taken away and the pup
is substituted. After the first few
days the pup is never fed except
Just before the flock goes to pasture
in the morning and just after the
sheep are brought in at night. AS
soon as he can walk he goes out
with the flock and stays with it all
day. Whenever he begins to an
ticipate supper by trying to drive
the flock in before shutdown he gets
punished. After he is about year
old he takes a flock out, guards
from other dogs and coyotes during
the day and brings them in at the
proper time at night without super
vision. / have tried all kinds of
temptation on a dog that was en-
countered in the hills with his flock

do not like this, as much corn

Cut eight or ten strong straight

then cut as many more and lay
upon them at nearly right angles;
cut as many more and lay upon
these between the other two; take

they cross, and set up as you would
