To Those Concerned.

Naturally my attention is direct
ed to an article which appeared il
Saturdays issue of THE TRIBUNE
under the heading of Credit te
Whom Credit is Due" and it call.
forth these words of response
There is no individual, who bears
in his makeup those characters.
tics which entities him to be called
a man, but to some extent relishes
the plaudits of his fellow men to a
certain degree of pleasure, and to
this weakness | must confess my
own susceptibility. In the case in
question, however, l should, in
deed, be an migrate if l were
to take to myself the credit Accord
ed me in the article above referred
to and shall in no wise consent
to do so. 1t puts ME in the wrong
light. know nothing of the FIRE.
mont meeting referred to, neither
do | know the parties who we're
there or the pledges that were
there made. | cannot conscien-
tiously pass this question of credit
to whom credit is due without
mentioning the many business
men who assisted in bringing this
matter to successful termination
and also the honora BILE mayor and
members of the city council. ] am
more than willing that the 30 called
'credit" should go to them and that
of myself let it be said she hath
done what he could.
In conclusion let me say that
this article WAS written and pub
lished without my knowledge and
that in all these matters it is not
credit that we are working for, but
that the results obtained may re-
dound to our mutual benefit in the
upbuilding of great and enter
prising commercial center which
seems so shortly in the future.
trust this statement will be
taken in the full sense of its in
tentions, and that in the future l
may remain obedient to the de-
mands of growing community,
| am, very respectfully,

NOVEL ROAD BUILDING.
Indiana Farmers Making Gravel
Pixies by Unique Method.

The farmers of Fulton county, ac-
cording to a Rochester Qnd.) dispatch
to the st. Louis Post-Dispatch, are
preparing for the annual gravel road
construction. Almost every neighbor-
hood now has its stretch of smooth
road as a direct result of the industry
of the farmers. With the graders the
farmers use it takes but a short time
to grade a road and make it ready for
the gravel. The gravel is obtained
from the nearest pit and is paid for by
the township trustee.
AS soon as everything is in readiness
for the work to begin some one is APP
pointed to direct 1t. Subscription pa
pers are circulated, one asking for cash
and others for donations of labor The
time FOR the labor is fixed for a period
of open weather during the winter. 1t
is common for the farmers to build a
mile of road during one season, and the
completion of each section seems to
make the people more anxious to build
another. Often the business men of
towns on a road contribute to the
cause. This county now has some of
the best permanent roads in the state,
and they have all been built under this
plan

NEW BICYCLE BRAKE.
English Invention which lis Likely
to Make Hit.

A new brake for bicycles which has
found favor among the manufacturers
has been invented in England, and
models of it have been sent to the
here have begun negotiations for Sc
curing the American rights of the con-
trivance, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
This brake was designed so that 1t
could be adjusted to suit any size of
tire and be equally effective on any
of them. The brake shoes are support
ed by horseshoe shaped frame, which
Is secured at its top to the operating
mechanism, which in the case of the
front wheel brake comprises bracket
for attaching the mechanism to the
front fork crown, coil spring to re-
turn the brake to its normal position
after application and cord, wire, light
rod or other suitable connection from
the handle bar lever for the purpose
of raising the horseshoe frame that the
brake shoes may be brought into fric-
tional contact with the rim.
At the extremity of each arm of the
horseshoe shaped frame is literally
disposed boss, which is bored through
and tapped out to receive the screw
threaded stem of the brake shoe. This
boss Is split and has ears to receive
a screw whose purpose is to tighten
the boss upon the brake shoe stem
when the latter has been adjusted to
suitable position for correct opera
ton. The brake shoe comprises a metal
trough, which retains the rubber brake
block. On each fork blade at point
opposite to the extremity of the adj
jacent brake frame arm is a light
clamp. upon whose binding bolt is
hinged a link, the forward end of
which engages the outer end of the
brake shoe stem. This link operates
the movement of the brake frame and
of the hrseshoes when the device is
being actuated and also prevents the
FRACTIONAL contact between the brake
shoes and the rotating wheel rim from
dragging the shoes and the brake
frame forward.
