many in the future will be entitled to

1t Is considered that the tourist will

Gals who will give desired information,
and such other privileges as are COM
mon to all Of the great national cycling
organizations.
After the meeting of the railroad
passenger agents In Chicago, 1t was an
nounced that no decision had been
reached in the matter Of having
uniform charge for carrying bicycles.
The reason, as stated, was that there
was no use in attempting such thing
as long as several of the large Eestern
States had laws requiring the railroads
to carry bicycles as baggage. Instead
}, of having the uniform charge, 1t was
! decided to work Quietly" for the repeal
of these laws. wherever they interfere
with the program of the agents.
The workers in the League OF Ameri-
can Wheelmen are very much amused
to hear that the railroads Will work
quietly" against the baggage laws.
IThey say that the work of the roads in
getting the. laws repealed may be
quiet" but the opposition thereto will
be decidedly noisy. Those particular
laws are among the most striking
evidences of the efficiency of the
League of American Wheelmen as a
working force in behalf of cycling in
tercsts, and were passed after months
Of the hardest kind of work.
These divisions will not allow their
appeal Quietly or otherwise, as the
railroads will soon discover. AS a mat

badly be good thing for the League,
as 1t would Immediately bring to It's

will they be quiet. IL the railroa dig

gage with some other organization

Bryan's Tax Returns.

A special dispatch to the st. Louis
PosU-Dispatch from Lincoln says:
w. j. Bryan is not. as he has been
reported, the richest man in Lincoln.
There are probably hundred men in
the city worth more than he. The as
sessment returns which make him APP
pear comparatively wealthy are mis-
leading.
MIR. Bryan has always been very
particular not to shirk his taxes and
has listed all his personal property.
He now has nearly $4,000 in the bank
and this is assessed at par. Other
personal property, which is assessed
at one-fifth, makes the total for his
personal property 81, $50, as against
81, $50 a year ago, when he had but
81, 500 in the bank.
The assessment law in Nebraska
permits any one to make returns
about as he pleases and the rich
men of Lincoln are not so scrupulous
as Mr. Bryan, few of them giving
their cash in the b4nk.
= mir. Bryan's friends say he is
worth about $4,000. His realty
holdings are his home in Lincoln, his
3O-acre farm near here and a small
farm in Illinois,
