power exerted upon the pedals. While
the pedals turn once the gearing makes
two full revolutions. The long sides of
Che oval cogwheel are brought into
play alternately as each foot comes
down. The effect is, it is claimed, an
Increase of power of more than 30 per
cent over the ordinary chain wheel or
plain gearing. This will certainly APP
peal to the riders, as it lessons their
efforts in the performance of a given
task or increases the results if the same
amount of energy is applied.

The Coming Shirt Waist.

Waists are shirtlike in their plain
ness, though some are made fanciful
with the addition of dressy collars and
revers. Linen collars are worn as well
as those Of plain ribbon, which merely
cross in the back and lap over in the
front, where they are held with small
lace pins. Leather belts are seen more
with the shirt waist than are the fancy
ones of last year. - April Woman's

THE SPORTING WORLD.

A German manufacturer of chainless
bicycles has introduced the old principle
of oval cogwheel gearing. The princi-
pie has previously been used in various
machine tools and finely adjusted ma
chinery, but nowhere is the principle
of greater value than in the bicycle,
and the same principle has been applied
70 the chain and sprocket, but its ap-
plication in this shape is new. Its chief
value lies in the fact that the rotation
is made slower when the foot power is

composed of white sandstone. It looked like marble, with numerous streaks of bright red sandstone from three inches to four feet thick, resembling a streak of fat and streak of lean alternately. On the sides of this canyon were chim- neys, steeples, needles, church spires and everything imaignable that old father time could carve out in centu- ries, and below in the little valley there was grand representation of the great Moscow bell. We did not go down to ring it as we were busily engaged min ing coal. Near the west side of the canyon stood Solomon's temple. The structure is too grand and beautiful to describe. Joe said he wished mother could see it. MT. Solomon was not at home or we would have inquired who was the architect. Here in these grand walls about six to twenty feet below the surface is mammoth vein of coal from four to ten feet thick, which stands out boldly to view. There are numerous canyons of about the description of this one, all containing coal and running into this mesa, and exposing coal for miles. We can assure you that no man can conceive or even estimate in q limi- ted time the amount of coal these beds contain.
 Here also lie immense deposits of phosphate or fossils, not the kind of fossils you see walking around your town, always ready to oppose any and allindustries or public enterprises their community are willing to assist, human fossils who exist in some communities who never pay taxes on property Of any kind and who have no property to pay taxes on, and are always crying and worrying about the high rate of taxa tion.

We judge the altitude here to be about 4.5OO feet.
 The fourth day we left Moen Ava with Wm. R. Allen as our guide and camped that night where the old Moqui trail leaves the Moen Copi wash and crossed the Navajo mesa, which is a high table land and extensive in area. This trail is travelled by the Moquis and Navajo Indians, and by its appear ance was u public highway for the red men when George Washington was boy.
 Next day We commenced the ascent of the great Navajo mesa, following the old Moqui trail. The summit of the mesa is about l,s00 feet above the wash and about five miles distant. The ground we traversed 10 the top is very loose sand, which made it difficult work for both horse and man and consumed about four hours time. This mesa Is nearly level and covered with a fair RfpNtb os iNoo. iIoi eO ooh'o VI ANaN ajo ponies could be seen in all direc- tions. The soil of this mesa is good, |, and if it were irrigated by artesian wells it could be made veritable par adise and would produce grapes that would tempt ''Old Father Noah to come back and go into the wine busi- ness, and have goed time us of old. Joe thinks the old man would be sur prised to see how much dryer the coun- try looks now than when he took his memorable ride in the ark.
 About , p. m. we came to a box can yon about 400 feet deep, running in a northerly direction towards the Moen Copi wash and parallel with the mesa. Here we saw the first coal, and lots of it. The guide said we would go to the next canyon, about one mile farther, as he had found better quality of coal there. We found this canyon about like the first, 400 feet deep about one

WELL, gentlemen of the Democratic
party, you have won the victory, and
have taken upon yourselves the re-
sponsibility of governing the city of
Kenosha. The startling necessity of
reform along many lines of municipal
administration has been urged upon
your attention during the past week
and you owe your victory to the votes
secured by the promises you made to
do all in your power to accomplish
those reforms. If you would prove
your veraoity and the just ice of your
claim to the positions you have won,
attend to it that those promises are
fulfilled. The broom is in your hands
You have pledged yourselves to sweep
away the cObwebs with which unen-
enforced law has soiled the face of our
city If at the end of your admins
GratiOn those webs are still hanging
and you have not made every
effort in your power to remove them,
the ballots will tell far different tale
a year hence, than that recorded to-
day. There is nothing to hinder you
from the fulfllment of all of cheese
promises, both implied and directly
given. The CONTROL of city affairs is
absolutely IN your hands. With the
mayor and ten aldermen in the com
mon council, your way to reform is
open and unObstructed. If the city
throughout the next year is not gov
erned honestly, in a businesslike
manner and to the best interests of the
city at large, it will be your fault and
your failure. There will be no looL
hole thrugh which you will be able to
escape from the censure and RESPONSE
bility incurred by a maladministratior
or the breaking of pledges. There
fore, our Democratic friends, walk cir
cumspectly. for the eyes of the people
are upon you That faction new in
the history of local government in
Kenosha, which elected you, expects

THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1899.
A New influence.

AN effort making toward a non
partisan vote strictly on the merits of
the respective candidates has been
more conspicuous in this campaign
than in any other that has occurred in
KenOsha for years. In town of this
size the combined and concentrated
effort of those interested only in good
government and the enforcement of
law should be decisive element.
Early in the campaign cards were
circulated among the voters pledging
them to vote for the best men, regard
less of party, in such numbers, that
the votes thus represented would be
suffice Mt to determine the result of the
election. Moreover, citizens league
was organized, whose membership,
pledged to vote for ticket drawn up
by the league from the candidates on
both tickets, would be large enough to
turn the scale in the direction in which |
their votes were cast, Consequently it |!
may be logically deduced that the
present election, which ever way it goes |
will be the triumphy of the best judg |
ment of the non partisan seekers after
good government as represented by
the citizens league. A peculiar inter-
est attaches therefore, to this election,
and the people will follow closely the
career of the incoming administration |
TO learn whether or no it will justify |
the faith of it's supporters.
This rather new factor in the NUM- |
Gipal election is one which must be
TeekOned with. It's appearance is a |
good sign. In this campaign it has no
doubt been a telling factor, but in
coming elections, unless all signs fail,
it will exercise paramount influence,
which cannot but be beneficial. When |
all candidates for Office understand that |
the balance of power lies with those
who stand for law and order the
probability is that laws will be en-
forced and honest city government will
become reality. However, before
the citizens league and the altogether
commendable movement which it has
inaugurated can be of advantage to
the city it must learn to make bust
ness of politics. 1t will be of compare
6ively little use if it confines its efforts
60 the day or two Immediately proceed
ing election and formulates it's opinions
from the shitty data of hearsay. Unless
it acts intelligently it can be of as
much harm as it might otherwise be OF
good. When it carefully studies the
process of municipal affairs and selects
its candidates after close investigation
and inquiry into their capability and
character it will be of great good to
Kenosha and accomplish some reforms
in the manipulation of city affairs
which have been long needed, but
futilly sought after.
