CONFLICT OVER WHEEL LAMPS
Riders In Omaha Want the Lighting
Ordinance Repealed.

Ordinance Repealed.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 2S.-Omaha is in a
big fight over bicycle lamps. An ordi-
nance to repeal the ordinance requiring
lighted lamps on bicycles between dusk
and dawn has been prepared by the Omaha
Wheelmen's League. In letter accom-
panying it, signed by the president. vice
president, secretary. and nine ward chair
men OF the league, these arguments are
advanced in favor of the ordinance:
That there are only from 200 to $500
wheelmen who occasionally use lamps;
that from $500 to 1900 wheelmen ride aft
er dusk without lamps or ride only in the
day time; that from 2.580 to 3.00e wheel
men have quit riding on account of the
ordinance requiring lamps.
Councilmen express themselves decidedly
weary of the bicycle-lamp controversy,
which has been waged off and on for sew
eral years, and are disposed to let the
lamp ordinance stand, at least for the
present year. So far as they have been
able to judge majority OF pedestrians are
in favor of the lamp.

through, giving it a little bend so that
the cork cannot touch the wood into
which it is stuck to serve as a handle;
and now you have a feather windmill.

kind to have, and can be easily made
out of an old postal card. First fasten
hoop of wood to a stick Gas shown in

circles from the postal card, as large
as you can. Slit the circles at four equi-
distant points, turn the ends inward
and outward alternately, stick the ends
to the centers by a pin and put them
on the hoop at equal distances and
you have fine windmill with five
parts.
And finally here is a windmill that
you cannot carry around, but fix it to
the porch and you will enjoy looking at
it. Take small cigar box and fasten
the two ends of a spool, having a lit

sengers jolted; he retained his ada
mantine rigidity. But fate decreed that
horse should drop sunstruck across
the track: a block ensued, and the
royal 37orsecar was stalled quite DIS
tance from the river. The king, who re-
garded any obstruction to his imperial
progress as a personal affront, fretted
and fumed, pulled out his watch and
tried to make himself believe he was in
a tremendous hurry, but apparently the
horse a dozen blocks away, was an
anarchistic beast, and wouldn't truckle
to royalty. His majesty might have got
of and walked, but the sun was hot
and the way unsheltered, SO he pre-
ferred to- mop his brow and scowl up
the cross Street.
It was short one, consisting of
grimy, stunted houses and one large,
handsome building at the further, end.
The front of each house was decorated
with its inmates underwear; and on
each doorstep sat a small, dirty child,
holding baby. The king had never
seen so many children before; he was
reminded of a swarm of flies. In a
shady corner sat a knot of laborerS,
drinking from tin pals, devouring i'm
mense sandwiches and smoking clay
pipes; while on the housetopS were
stretched dizzy labyrinths of clothes
line and more underwear. Every one
seemed TO be on the most intimate
terms; and the exact season might have
been ascertained by a careful study of
the refuse vegetable matter.
Disguised with the prospect, the king
closed his eyes and ruminated over
certain stocks, but presently a shrill
chatter broke the monday lull, and,
looking abroad once more he beheld

l0-year-old slattern, his friend, the
