One of the most enthusiastic wheel
men in Morristown is DR.. Charlton T.
Lewis, Of Mccullough avenue who may
be seen on the road at 6 o'clock or earlier
every morning.
James Burd Jr., of Mendham, pupil
Of the Morristown public school, made
the trip awheel this morning in twenty
five minutes, which is record breaker
when it is considered up hill all the way
to Mendham and the same back.
Not many chainless wheels are being
received by local agents. The general
demand for this style of wheel has been
so great that manufacturers are unable
to ill only small part of the orders.
Carlson Brothers are having special
sale of Morgan & Wright guaranteed
tires, These tires have given the best
of satisfaction and this is a chance to get
pair at cost price. 1t will be necessary
to act quickly as the number of tires is
limited

True
Economy.

The cheapest baking powder
made is Cleveland's; not be-
cause its first cost is less than
that of others, but because it is
stronger.
Instead of heaping teaspoon
fuls of other baking powders,
use only rounded spoonfuls of
Cleveland's and you will find
that a can of Cleveland's will
lastalmost as long as two pounds
of low-priced powders.
Besides, Cleveland's is pure
cream of tartar powder and you
run no risk of injuring the health
of your family.

Arrested and Later Released.

Joe Lewis was arrested Thursday at
Colfax, charged with stealing a horse
from John Campbell, horse raiser living
east of this city. The arrest came about
in this way: Campbell loaned Lewis a
horse, to be returned in five days, which
the borrower failed to do, and Campbell
was informed by the sheriff of Whitman
county that Lewis was trying to dispose
OF the animal Campbell caused a war
rant to be issued and placed in Sheriff
Rozen's hands, who in turn had Sheriff
Canutt at ColfaX arrest Lewis. Upon in
luiry it was found that Lewis would have
to be prosecuted i'll Whitman county for
larceny. Campbell decided to withdraw
the charge of larceny and have Sheriff
Canutt hold the animal until he Camp
bell) arrived and claimed the property.
Lewis was accordingly released.

Say They are Riding on a Wager.

f. J. Blaisden and Billy Shaver, two
trick bicycle riders, arrived in the city
"Wednesday night from Portland, Ore,
destined overland by wheel for New
York City.
These gentlemen performed on their
wheels on the streets of the city i'll three
performances, giving every evidence of
being adopts at trick riding and as a
matter OF course for compensation took
up hat collection upon the termination
of the show.
Shaver said; I'VE left Portland the I1th
inst and want people to know we are
not travelling to advertise any particular
make OF bicycle" Continuing he said.
The management of the Morning
Oregonians and by the way the most ably
edited and newsiest paper published on
The Pacific coast, made Blais,len and my
self the following proposition: We were
to leave Portland, Aug. I4th, and travel
by wheel to New York City and reach
the same not later than Ian. /, 1000.
Each week we were to remit thu
Oregonian Sl5 each per week until our
destination was reached, and the money
reunited was to be funds only collected
from our exhibitions. For a recommends
III case the conditions the contract was
hlled by us to the Oregouian people as
to the time limit in making the trip and
the weekly payments being made PROMPT
ly, We were to be awarded with $1,000
each to attend the Paris exposition which
opens IN 1900 and thereat represent the
north western states as trick hicvcle
riders"
Shaver commended that they not only
have made rapid time SO far but as we'll are
receiving mnni6cent collections, having
renitted 500 each in IS days to the
oregonian. Blaisdeu by way of an inter.
rnption stated that as long as the weather
was propltions they did not observe the
sabbath IN lying over, as the trip ahead
was lengthy one and they expected to
encounter plenty of bad weather befor,,
they would complete their Journey. in
which event they would have MANY DAYS
to lay over which would give them ample
time To rest.
Blais'len and Shaver left the CITY YES
terday morning and will take in the
Palouse towns en- route to Spokane.
Their itinerary from Spokane is to
Helena, Butte, Pocatello, Ogden. Den.
yer, Omaha, Chicago aud thence to New
York City, as matter of course stoppiug
at the most o the towns between the
above points.

Says Business Is Good

Thos b. Reed, merchant of Forest,
on Craig's mountain, arrived in the city
Thursday evening and was doing bust
ness i'll the city yesterday.
Mr.. Reed AYERS that the recent rains
did not affect the crops in his district ma
terially, that harvesting, which is now
nearly completed, passed off smoothly.
The yield of hay and grain of all kinds
was good both in quantity and quality,
and the farmers look forward to a contin-
uance of the prosperity they have en-
joyed for several months past
You would be surprised" said Mr..
Reed, "to see the amount of goods that
is disposed of in my little store each
month"
Mr.. Reed was formerly from St Louis,
where he was engaged for some time on
the rcportorial staff of the St. Louis
Chronicle

Did Not Like the Treatment.

Frank Griffin, who has been employed
III the tracklaying gang that are engaged
IN that work i'll one of Bennett's
camps on the Lapwai spur, says that IS
men drew their time there Tuesday
morning last, and refused to work longer.
There were only some ten or twelve
men left in the gang.
Griffin says there were three PROPOSE
lions that constituted their grievances.
one was that the meat furnished by the
commisSary was not fit to eat. The
second was the matter of wages. Laborers
were required to stay 80 days before they
would be allowed f. as per day and all
those who would cease work within 40
days were only allowed f. per dav.
The men did not think this Just and
equitable. For instance, if man was
discharged or took notion to quit the
job he was paid IS cents a day less for
performing the same work that other
men were receiving who lived MP to the
50 day contract. Griffin says: II work
ed several days and was charged cents
day hospital fees, for which you are
supposed TO receive medical attendance
aud medicine. During the time | was
employed no physician or surgeon show
ed up, although there was one man suf-
tering from rupture, another with a
wounded limb caused by being strucL
with steel rail and still another Door
fellow suffering from poison oak. These
men had all been paying hospital dues
aud when they needed medical attend.
auce did not receive it"
Mr. Griffin stated that they presented
their grievances and asked for al adj
justment of the same, which was denied.
SO SIS OF them drew their time. He says
he had worked less than go DAYS and
they endeavored to pay him off at s. per
day, but he Insisted or the extra 2S
cents and was successful in getting it.
