THE BICYCLE TRADE.
Combination Cannot Keep Up the Price
 of Wheels.

 of Wheels.
 The reduction in the price of bicycles from S150 to less than a third of that amount has weighed heavily upon the minds of the manufacturers who en- tered the wheel trust The combina- tion was undoubtedly made with the purpose of advancing prices to point that would restore at least a bart of the old fabulous profits, but it is doubtful if 1t can be made a success. Too many independent manufacturers are in ex- istence who are free to extend their trade by offering every possible induce ment in the way of price and quality. such as individual competition sug- gests. One of these has just issued q circular. in which he has the following to say: We have thoroughly or ganized and profitable business, both in firearms and bicycles, and there is uo necessity for our joining any move ment to attempt to monopolize or manipulate the bicycle trade or to as- sist some of the 'tep-heavy' firms to dispose of their factories at fancy prices and thus avoid probable col lapse. We are and shall remain per fectly independent and free to act ac- cording to our business judgment and our sense of justice and fairness to the agents who have assisted us in building up our present large business. No one can buy better material or build high grade bicycles cheaper than we can, and we have completed our plans and our new line of bicycles much earlier than usual, so as to make this state ment frankly and sQuarely to our agents, and we announce our line and prices for the coming season as fol- lows: Medium grade roadster, s25; high-grade roadster. sa5; with coaster brake, $40: with cushion frame, $50; chainless, S60." AS these prices are a cut of SIS on each grade, and as the manufacturer is one of high repute in the trade, it is manifest that the trust will not be able to advance the cost of wheels next season. Besides, the day has passed when the wheelman could be persuaded that his machine. beautiful and delicate as it is, can be more costly than small steam engine. Louisville Courier-Joarnal

ing. One of them is in Laramie and the
others in Woods camp near Tie Sid
ing. Quick action was taken in the
Laramie case to isolate the subject and
prevent spread of the disease.
The Laramie case is Mrs. Halves,
who lives on First street. south of the
creek. DR.. Brown has been treating
the case several days and reported it
to the county authorities this morning
as smallpox. DR.. Miller, county ply
stefan, at once went to the house and
examined the Ease in company 9TH
DR.. Brown. 1t certainly was SMALLPOX.
The disease was brought here from.
Pueblo. Two of the Montgomery chill
dren, sisters of Mrs. Halves. were in
mates of an orphans home in Pueblo
in which there was an epidemic of
smallpox. They were sent home be-
fore the disease had been thoroughly
eradicated and have evidently spread
the infection. The authorities here
will hand Pueblo a nice little roast for
this carelessness. 1t was decided that
the m must be removed to the pest
house and this was done by Drs. Miller
and Brown this afternoon. All the
proper precautions are being taken to
prevent the disease from becoming cpl
demic, and the doctors are of the opin-
ion that there is no need for alarm.
though there is for precaution.
The news of the two infected per-
sons at Woods camp are not given in
the message received here today. The
usual steps have been taken to isolate
the cases.

Judge Bramel directed that he be

tempt. Heidrich sent back word that
it was not necessary to send an officer

Hard.



Adventures have been numerous In
the career Of Thomas r. Bard, who
has lately been elected United States
senator from California. lie was born
In Chamborsburg. Pa, studied law
there. and from that place enlisted In
the union army at the age Of a. Az

made to hang them rs spies. when the

come ten minutes later. Bard would
never have been United States senator.
After the war Bard came under the
eye OF Col. Thomas A. Scott. later fam
Gus as the head OF the Pennsylvania
railroad system. Scott owned immense
land interests I'm California, and he
was so taken with Bard that he sent
him to California In the winter OF 1854
65. TO take charge OF his property
there, which consisted OF 277.OO0 acres
Of land In the counties Of Ventura. Los
Angeles and Humboldt. Young Bard
needed n well-sot chin and some pep
perry fighting blood. for there were not
over a dozen Americans within y ra-
dlus OF ten miles OF him at that time.

people who came In and squatted on
Scott's land. Ono incident shows that
he was quick and forceful In nghting'

up a business In Tightening cargoos and
selling merchandise at about the place
where Bard owned wharf. II was ON

Bard made up his mind to Gust Barn

wharf for Scott at the point whore they
were In business. So one night he took
a company Of men and fenced In the
property Barnard mustered the squat
