The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1899-08-17

Next year bids fair to be a lively
one in local politics. Already there
are a number of candidates in the
field for Representative. On the
other side of the river we hear of
Z. NJ. Tewksbury, who served the
county we'll for two terms few
years ago, and c. Z. Schlicher, who
was a candidate last year, but with
drew before the primary election.
On this side are mentioned Geo.
w. Sterner, w. A. Evert, R. G..
F. Kshinka, DR.. F. w. Redeker,
and it is intimated that as w. 7.
Greasy had three terms on the other
side of the river, that William
Chrisman would not be averse to
going to Harrisburg for third
time. Still more are looked for,
and it is likely that there will be an
animated race for the place.

Beer Consumption.

When it was proposed to increase
the tax on beer, it was predicted
that the consumption would fall off.
Recent Treasury statistics show
that the number of barrels Of beer
that paid the increase tax in the
fiscal year that ended June 80, 1899,
was 36, which was but 49,
1o2 less than the total for the fiscal
year 1898. Even this small de-
crease is probably more than ex-
planned by the increase of produc-
ton toward the close of the former
year in order to get the benefit of
the lower rate, at all events it is
apparent that the increased rate has
had no appreciable effect OIL con-
sumption.

Wilkes, Barre Bicycle Meet.
The Grand National Circuit Races on Sept.

Of the Crack Professional and Amat.
eur Riders in America Entered.

The racing event of the year will be
the annual grand National Curcult
Bicycle Meet of the West End Wheel
men, of Wilkesbarre, Pa, at West
Side Park, on Friday and Saturday,
September Ist. and ed.
This will surpass anything of the
kind ever attempted by this popular
club and will be one of the biggest
meets held in Pennsylvania this season
The expenses will foot up to about
$4,000. Good things come high, but
there is nothing too good for Wilkes
barre. Springfield, Mass, used to
have the honor Of holding the most
important race meets annually, but
this year Wilkesbarre has wrested it
away from old Springfield.
An excellent program has been ar
ranged for each day and $1,000 will
be paid out IN prizes. There are
more than 100 entries, including all
the best professional and amateur rae
ing men on the track to-day. AT no
other meet this year will there be
seen a larger array of field riders and
men OF prominence. 1t will probably
be the only time that SO many Of the
crack riders will ever be seen together
as many of them are going to Europe
for term of years at the close of the
season.
1t will be gala occasion for cyclists
as excursions will be run and excur-
sion rates given on all railroads cen
tering in Wilkesbarre.
Not a crack rider, either protes-
sional or amateur, Of any note but
what will be present and take part in
the races each day.
The West End Wheelmen are hust
lers and always get up highly satlsfac
tory meets. This year, however, the
meet will eclipse all former effort:
and will be greater and more elabor
ate than ever. The entries close or
August 26th.
