The bicycle has ceased to be fad, a
luxury, and has advanced to utllitari-
an pretensions. While many still use
it. and will continue to do so, as a
pleasant means for exercise and recre-
alton, it has assumed a constantly in
creasing value and service as an aid
to rapid and convenient LOGON otion, a
means 10 get there" with the least
loss of time. 1t was thought, upon
the advent of the bicycle, that the
craze for riding would have as brief
day as the rage for roller skating
had, but the general adoption of the
bike for business demonstrates its
utility and its permanency as vehicle
of lucomotion is assured. Its conven-
venience, low price, lightness. and du-
rability, make it an almost indispen-
sible necessity. It's service will be
still further enlarged when inexpen-
siye cycle tracks are built between all
towns and the right OF their mainte-
nenee and use for bicycling conceded.

The Election in the City

Inc election in this city was very
quiet affair. The result was antici-
pated and voters were so certain of
the outcome that interest in the
election was not sufficiently acute to
eall out as large vote as was polled
-FOUR years ago when the list showed
vote of 45l; Tuesday the total vote
was but AS. There were 43 votes re-
corded in the first precinct qst WardD
ana $50 In the second precinct end,
5rd and 4th Wards). Two ballots
were thrown out, the marking not
being sufficiently definite to Indicate
TO The judges the intention of the
voter. The Republican presidential
TICKET received $40 votes (36 in the
hrst precinct and 283 in the second);
Ghe Democratic, 81, Is in the first
precinct and IS in the second): the

and y in the second); Jenkins, Repub-

IN THE TOWN
The town of River Falls was afflict-

the election which engendered an
apathy sim liar to that manifested in

per centage than that of the city.

the failure of the voters to mark
them. McKinley's vote was 15S,

The Last Man.

All worldly shapes shall melt in gloom,
The sun himself must die.
Before this mortal shall assume,
Its immortality
/ saw vision In my sleep
That gave my spirit strength to sweep
Adown the gulf Of time
saw the last Of human mold
Thatshall Creations death behold,
AS Adam saw her prime!
The Suns eye had a sicklg glare,
The Earth with age was wan
The skeletons of Nations were
Around that lonely man!
Some had expired in fight, the brands
Still rusted In their bony hands;
In plague and famine some
Earths cities had no sound or tread;
And ships were drifting with the dead
To shores where all was dumb
Yet prophet-like that lone one stood
With dauntless words and high,
That shook the sere leaves from the wood
AS If a storm passed by;
Saying, We are twins in death proud SUM,
Thy face is cold, thy race is run;
tbs mercy bids thee go;
I'll ehbh tSh biAChadilu tllOuSdiN ANtiS
Hast seen the tide OF human tears,
That shall no longer fowl
What though beneath thee nan put forth,
His pomp, his pride his skill;
And arts that made fire, food and earth,
The vassals OF his viii?
Yet mourn l not thy parted sway,
Thou dim, discrowned king of day;
For all those trophied arts and triumphs
That beneath thee sprang
Healed not passion or pang
Entailed on human hearts,
Go, let Oblivion's curtain fall
Upon the stage of men,
Nor with thy rising beams recall
LIES tragedy again!
Its piteous pageants bring not back;
Nor walSen flesh upon the rack
OF pain anew 10 writhe;
Stretched IN diseases shapes abhorred,
Or mown in battle by the sword,
Like grass beneath the scythe
Even am weary, in yon skies.
To watch thy fading fire;
Test of all sunless agonies.
Behold not me expirel
My lips that speak thy dirge of death
Their rounded gasp and gurgling breath
To see thou shalt not boast.
The eclipse OF Nature spreads my pail
The majesty of Darkness shall
Receive my parting ghostl
This spirit shall return to Him
Who gave its heavenly spark
Yet think not, Sun, it shall be dim
When thou myself art dark!
MOI it shall live again, and shine,
In bliss unknown to realms OF thine,
BY Him recalled to breath,
Who captive led Captivity;
Who robbed the Grave OF victory;
And took the sting from DEATH
Go, Sun, while Mercy holds me up
On Natures awful waste,
To drink this last and bitter cup
OF grief that man shall taste!
Co tell the Night that hides thy face,
Thou saw'st the last of Adams race
On Earths sepulcbral clod,
The dark ming Universe defy
To quench his Immortality
Or shake his trust in God!

Beyond the mere announcement that

But IL is explained that neither for

the continuance in the island Of the

the officials there. Some Of the Wash
