led up to the present unsettled condi-
ton. Said he:
THE b. A. w. is strictly amateur
organization and has only assumed
control of professional cycling In order
to keep the public from being swindled
and force the riders and promoters to
keep faith with their patrons. So that,
being a purely disinterested party, it
stands between the riders and pro-
motors and the public and forces the
first two to give good sport.
1t keeps the riders from making
promises to race at certain meets ana
then going elsewhere because bigger
purses are offered and also forces the
promoters to offer certain sums at
every national circuit meet, thereby
protecting the racers. Riders or pro-
motors who break the rules are fined
or the tracks suspended, and in this
way the sport is kept clean, and the
interests of all parties are protected.
Last season for the first time the pro-
motors were obliged to put up a purse at
every national circuit meet of $50 for a
national championship event. There were
% of these races during the season. In
return for this the L. A. w. made the
riders, who followed the circuit, race at
each of these 20 meets and thus secured to
the promoters star attractions at all the
events.
1T was through this that the first fric-
ton arose. On Labor day the national
circuit meet was scheduled for Springfield
Mass. On the same date a meet was adj
vertised at Chicago at which purse of
GOO was hung up. The crack racers
want to jump the Springfield affair for
chance at the big prize in Chicago. The
i. A. W. refused to let them do SO, for
that would mean severe loss to the
management at Springfield, who had ad-
vertised that such men as Bald, Cooper
and Gardiner would appear. The riders
complained bitterly because they were not
allowed to go to Chica ~ forgetting that
the league had secured them much more
during the season than they could get
there. Malcontents were not slow to take
advantage of this point to stir UP strife
against the organization in the minds of
the riders.
"a meeting took place. and it was pro-
posed to form a league by which the
racers and track owners should work to-
gether. Now, should they carry out their
plans, it would not be many weeks before
the track owners would be running every
thing with the riders at their mercy for
the greater proportion of the racing cy-
clists are very stupid and could not earn
$40 week doing anything else. Besides,
what guarantee would the public have
that the sport was on the level and that
the races fere not fixed such as it now
has?
AT its recent meeting the league gave
the racing men the privilege of sending
one delegate to the league meeting and

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE or HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not he Alarmed, Hut Look For the
Cause

Do Not He Alarmed, hut Look For tn
Cause.
Heart troubles. at feast among
the Americans, are certainly in
creasing, and while this may be
largely due to the excitement and
Worry OF American business life,
1t is more often the result of weak
stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable;
but not one case in a hundred of
heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is be-
cause both organs are controlled
by the same great nerves, the SYM
pathetic and Pneumonogastric.
In another way, also the heart is
affected by the form of poor diges-
tiAn, which causes gas and fermen-
tation from half digested food.
There is feeling of oppression
and heaviness in the chest caused
by pressure Of tine distended stom-
ach on the heart and lungs. inter-
fering with their action; hence
arises palpitatioE and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the
blood, making it thin and watery,
which irritates and weakens the
heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to improve the di-
gestion and to insure the prompt
assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular
use after meals of some safe, pleas
ant and effective digestive prepa-
ration, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain val
liable, harmless digestive elements
in pleasant. convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form of stomach trouble except
cancer of the stomach.

lets sold by druggists at so cents.

this evident intent to have all the acts of
it's governing board subjected to the clos
est scrutiny. In the matter of holding
meets on any day that will be a question
of local option, and those cities desiring
Sunday racing can have it. A grand cir
cult of not more than ten weeks duration
will be held, and on it the national cham
pionship will be decided. The amateur
rule will be more liberal, and this class
will receive more consideration than in
the past Many innovations will be in

sport will be made a subject of special

Tho Fight for Its Control Between the
League of American Wheelmen and the
So Called "Outlaws"
copyright 1891
Every wheelman in the country is
anxious to know what will be the
status of racing during the coming sea-
son. The L. A. W., at it's recent meet
ing at Providence, declared it's inten-
ton to still control the sport in all it's
branches in spite of all opposition and
secession, whereas those who have
broken away from it's ranks declare
that they will hold meets, make rules
and form a governing body, composed
of riders, track owners and promoters,
distinct from the parent organization.
Which of these two factions will
win?
In order to obtain the best informa-
ton on the subject, the plans and
prospects of both parties, and give it
in a totally disinterested manner, l
have spoken to big men on both sides.
The l.. A. w. leaders profess to treat
<he matter with the utmost unconcern
and to regard the outlaws" as the
seceders have been termed. as hardly
worthy of their attention. The out
laws-and this term is not used in dis
respect, but simply to designate those
who do not recognize the authority
Of the league-on the other hand claim
that everything is coming their way
and that before the season is half over
they will have complete control of the
situation and will be running practi-
cally everything.
One of the most enthusiastic believ-
ers in the ultimate supremacy of the
L. A. W., who thinks that no other
organization can possibly control the
riders and manage matters in salts
factory way, is Mr.. George L. Nc
Carthy, the New York State handi-
capper. ! asked Mr.. Mccarthy to give
