better.

gued quite plausbly that minor contests held there

DIGGING CLANS AND WHEEL RIDING
HOW THIS YEARS WINNER OF THE IRVINGToN-
I.RI.RN RACE HARpENS


When a man suddenly wins his spurs in some
branch of sport it is usually necessary to scurry
about find out who he is. Seldom does it hap
pen that such one has done anything before to
make himself known. When young Edward van
Yelsor Of Oyster Bay, won, Memorial Day. the
old Irvington-M ilburn twenty-five mile road race
in New-Jersey that hilly course he showed
much pluck and strength and there has since been
considerable wondering to who and what he Is
Alexander SchWabach of Brooklyn, When seen
yesterday said that he knew Van Velsor well and
that ne surprised when he heard the
oyster Bay had won the cycling derby Of the
East.
Ivan Velsor has done or less racing down
Long Island said Mr.. Schwalbach, and ne
showed good form at times. He belongs to a little
colony down the island. of which the Bedell
brothers White and several others are members,
and they all good bicycle riders, and, they tell
me. mighty good clamdiggers.
Now, Van VeIsor lives on the north shore or
Long Island and he is used TO climbing hills, for
the north shore, unlike the south shore of Long
Island, is as billy almost as anything to be found

pertness clamdgger won him the derby You

When the bicycle ride is
ended, fatigue should be expert
enced only to a healthy degree.
Excessive riding is rarely at
fault. Cycling is such an easy
exercise, a little more or less
produces small effect. Strain is
the thing to avoid.
A hard-running wheel that
makes work of cycling is a
menace. A light weight, easy
running wheel is a pleasure.

Beer Checks Must Go.

Beer checks must go. This is
the latest verdict of the United
States Secret Service department..
An old law has been resurrected
which it is believed covers the
point under consideration, and the
probabilities are that sa aloonkeepers
al! over the country where the CIV
ing of checks good for five cents
more or less in trade, is in vogue,
will haye fight on their hands.
While it is doubtful if the govern
ment will be able to make clear
case, test is to be made in the
near future.
The law which it is thought that
the checks alluded to come under,
and which was discovered by Chief
of Secret Service, Wilkie, is rs fol-
lows:
"No person shall make, issue, cir
.culate or pay out any note, check,
memorandum or token, or other
obligation, for less than 81, intend.
ed to circulate as money, or be re-
ceived or used in lieu of lawful
money of the United States; and
every person 80 offending shall be
fined not more than $500 or impris-
oned not more than six months, or
both, at the discreation of the
court"
This law was enacted July II,
1862. and it is believed has never
been repealed.
The question that arises is not so
much as to the circulation OF
checks, because it is known thai
the proprietor of one place of busi-
ness does not accept the checks
of those Of another, but it is with
regard to the other portion of the
law which pertains to anything
usel sin lieu of lawful money. AS
is known the checks each repre-
sent lawful money and have the
same purchasing power as lawful
money in the places where issued.
Should the government win, il
will mean great loss, especially
to saloon keepers. The outcome
will pe watched with interest.

Obituary..

LUCINDA HARTsEL - Lucinda
Hartsel was born March 9th 1918,
was united in marriage to Max
imum Aid, March 4th 1862, pro-
fessed "a hope in Christ for many
years and baptised upon confes-
sion of faith by Elder j. j, Van.
Horn into the fellowship Of the
Primitive Baptist Church called
Lexington, Oct. 26 1878 of which
church she lived consistent and
faithful member until death. She
was firm believer in Salvation by
Grace through the attoning merits
of the blood of the Lord Jesus
Christ, and died in the full tri-
umphs OF that faith, willing to trust
her eternal all in his almighty
hand. She was great sufferer
during her last sickness, but bore
it with Christian fortitude saying
this is nothing to be compared with
the suffering of her redeemer for
her sins, seemingly her greatest
trial was to be deprived of her nat
ural eye sight, but said, won't it be
glorious when they open in glory.
On the eve Of Jan 18th 1900, her
spirit took it's flight to the spirit
ual world, aged Slyrs, l0mo, and 8
days. She was born and raised
near New Lexington, Perry co. o.,
and was the last one of family of
seven children one brother died
last winter in Michigan, aged 87yrs
her younger brother Smith, well
known in Hooking, Co., aged 74yrs
died 3 years ago. Her many
friends and neighbors know her
many virtues, and she leaves an
ageu companion, four step-daught-
ers and many relatives and friends
to mourn her loss, but we mourn
not as those having hope, believing
our loss, to be her eternal gain.
Elder l.. T. Ruffner, her much es-
teemed Pastor, spoke words of COM
fort on the above occasion assisted
by Elder Y. K Holiday, to large
and attentive congregation in the
Baptist Church New Lexington,
after which her remains were laid
to rest in the Beautiful Cemetery
south of New Lexington, there to
await the morning of Resurrection.

ATHENS, o., Jan. t8.-Maior
Charles Townsend died at his home

sulting from u stroke of paralysis.
He was one of Ohio's most distin-
guished citizens. having represented

district in the Ohio Senate and also
served the state as secretary of state.
Charles Townsend was born at
Harrisonville, Belmont county, In
1884, and came to Athens when u

Ohio University at Athens in the
class of 1861. Upon completion of
his collegiate course Mr.. Townsend
took up the profession of teaching at

ed under Pope until the second Bull
Run, then under McClelland until
after the Antietam campaign, when
his regiment was transferred to

IT is really somewhat amusing
to read the interviews put forth by
Republican leaders in regard to the
next candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency. There is not the least
doubt in the world that the nomi-
nation will 60 to New York, but
the factional fights there nave
given Mr.. Payne, OF the National
Committee, chance to throw a
little spice into the affair, v sug.
gesting that good westeri man
might do as well as New Yorker.
The truth is, that the Republicans
were beginning to squirm on ac-
count of the evident fact that the
convention WAS simply to ratify
Mark Hanna's choice for both jobs,
and Philadelphia was getting res
tive over the probability that there
would be no enthusiasm and no
crowd at the convention, and hence
no chance to get back that t$l09,OO0.
Hence, as the presidential nomina-
tion is so positively settled that it
Is impossible to get up even hip
podrome over that, Messrs Payne,
Hanna, and Platt have hit upon
this "favorite SOD" method of max
ing things interesting, and rescuing
Philadelphia from her despon-
dency. 1t is a very nice little
scheme.

which Senator Bright has held his
