EVOLUTION OF THE BICYCLE.
In Time, 1t Is Predicted. 1t VIII Have
wings.

In Time, 1t Is Predicted. 1t VIII Have
wings.
Like many other great successes in
this uncertain world, the bicycle was Of
humble origin. 1t sprang from the
wheelbarrow and no one blames it,
says the Detroit Free Press. This is
the reason that you can fall so far and
be SO long about it, when you are
mixed up with one of these machines.
no matter what price or what moo l.
The velocipede, which the best authofi-
ties testify was connecting link, was
uglier than anything else except
three-humped camel trying to escape
his keeper The device will best be re-
called as propelled by small boy with
a straw hat over his ears, his busy feet
on the level with his chin and his
shoulders settled down on his waist
line. Then came the ungainly affair
with an enormous fly wheel in front,
and pitiful little baby wheel trailing.
To drop from it was like falling off
load Of hay and it forced upon short,
fat men the indignity Of mounting from
a second-story window or convenient
shade three. Nearly all of those who
we're thrown from 1t and survived are
miscellaneonsly MANNED But it is
through such rugged stages that sue
cess is reached The bicycle became
thing Of beauty and 10y forever with
pneumatic tires that are blown up as
they deserve it, artistic finish, ball
bearings, spring seats and an unac-
countable disposition to participate in
a scorch. At last they have thrown off
their chains and have the highest de-
gree of freedom attainable by things
inanimate. They neither eat nor
drink. but are always merry. They
toll not, neither do they spin-when a
policeman is looking-yet solomon in
all his glory could not have ridden one
Of them to save his life. They do not
shy at hrecrackers. a COW in the road
or a locomotive whistle, it does not re-
Quire two hands to hold them when an
interested couple are going home, as it
does a horse headed for the oats bin,
and they viii stand without hitching.
wherever the bicycle thief permits. In
time. it Is predicted. they will have
wings. and humanity itself aspires TO
nothing more desirable.

The fairland Court.

Harry E. Don Carlos, United
States commissioner for this dis
rict, has been kept busy the past
week and ls earning much praise
for the celebrity with which many
Intricate cases have been disposed
of. The town has been flooded
with lawyers, clients, witnesses
and U. S. marshals. Among the
legal fraternity we noticed, John
B. Tnrner, of Vinita, Archie Neal,
of Chetopa, Kan, o. Balch, Seneca
Mo-, +. Sharpe, j. s. Truitt and
Mr.. Woodal, of Alton. Lake Moore

bar. Deputy marshals W. STAN
nard, D. NJ. Webb, Paden Tolbert,
H. Carr, Pies Thompson, and w.
r. Thompson. Court is still in
session as We 60 to press.
Among the important cases dis
posed of were: United States

Hubbard and J. Phelps, of Alton

bound over to grand jury. Phelps
discharged.
United States against J. Hill,

United States against c. Roberts

The greater part Of yesterday

dockets of the U. S. circuit courts

perfectly safe TO do so with the
present competent incumbents.-

MADE HIS ESCAPE
A Horse Thief Out 'Foots the
Jail Guards.

Yesterday afternoon during the
examination Of the smallpox sus-
pect at the U United States holdover,
Ben Schrun, a horse thief, made
his escape by Jumping the fence
and taking TO the brush. The
prisoners had been brought out
into the enclosure for inspection
by the board of health and the
vigilence Of the.guards was for the
moment relaxed. Schrum, having
a double motive, that of escape
from probable ten years sentence
and the possibility of smallpox,
mounted barrel sitting near the
fence and by its assistance was
soon outside the enclosure and on
his way to liberty. The alarm
was given almost Immediately,
and Capt. White and Deputy Webb
gave chase, but Schrum succeeded
in reaching the timber on Big Cab
in creek and eluded his pursuers.
The escaped man was under two
indictments for horse stealing,
both crimes having been commit
ted in the Creek nation. He was
captured at Pryor Greek by one OF
his victims and has been in Jail at
Mdskogee for some time.

Nothing In 1t.

The Vinita Chieftain of Tuesday
contained the following: "AnOth-
er attempt was made few days
ago to break into the auditors
Office at Tahlequah. Some one
broke the transom above the door
of the office and climbed in, using
an old chair for the purpose. In
side numerous matches had been
struck and thrown upon the floor
in the vain search for the record
book ofCherokee national tickets. !"
A reporter for the Arrow met Mr..
Andrew Cunningham, secretary to
Chief Burlington, yesterday and
questioned him in regard to the
matter. The secretary said that
there is nothing in the report; that
The Chieftain had evidently
mixed dates, as there have been
no attempts made to loot the
auditors office since the robbery
committed during the sitting of
council, and officers about the cap
tol say that, so far as they know,
no one has attempted to burn the
building.-Tahlequah Arrow.
The Chieftain's authority for the
above statement was Chief I. NJ.
Burlington, who related the facts
az stated. If there is any conflict
in the statement il is between the
Chief and Mr. Cunningham.

story, which ends happily for all con-

in the plot, in fact there is not much plot
in the story. The book has its shadows
in 4 mans inhumanity to a trusting wo-
man his tardv act of Justice and of sep
aration so far as lay in his power, but
the record of the love affairs of the
younger generation is a pleasing story.

The Russian artists in Paris have just
celebrated the hundredth anniversary of
the painter Brulloff's birthday, following
the lead of their st. Petersburg brethren
Brulloff was, perhaps, the finest painter
of the grand school that Russia has pro-
duced. It was his picture of the same
subject that sowed the seed of the Last
Days of Ponpeii'' in Bulwer Lytton's
brain. That painting was first exhibited
in Rome, where it was rapturously ad-s
mired. Brulloff becams the fashion there
and in the other Italian cities. He took
it to Paris in 1888, but, as a Russian. was
colby received. Nicholas 1. afterward
employed him to paint those sacred Inn
ages that adorn the interior OF st. 1saac's
and of the Cathedral Of kazan.-New
