 Certain and Fairbanks Probably Sure
Especial Dispatch to the Daily Alaskan ]

Chicago June 22-Not for generations has so little interest been manifested in national political convention Inf one of the great parties for the nomination of pres dent and president of the United States as is exhibited in the republican national convention now in session in this city. l ,,,., .,,.
 There is altogether lacking the usual hubbub about hostile camps while the particularly are notice able by the lack of any interest taken n ln them.
 It is openly declared today that the number of pledged delegates together with the Roosevelt sates will give the presdent the nomination. What interest there is in the proceedngs ceners the nomination for vicepresden an office which has sprung into great account from the brilliant opening made for Roosevelt It is predicted by the members of the press who have canased the sta on that Senator Fairbanks of Indiana will likely be an easy favorite for the vice presidency.
 The hotels now are filling rapidly with delegates to the national convention Many of them are beaed and did not arrive until today.
 One of the striking features of the convention is the unusually large number of aternates acting for the prime pas owing to the absence of the regular delegates Many delegations will not be fully represented The nomination for president might take place today.

A Cripplcr Complaint.

A policeman by the name of Couch,
of the Muskogee, !. T., police force
believes it is grand thing to arrest
a cripple colored man for boot black
box in order TO hold up his part on the
police force, he stands in need Of un-
thankful credit. The policeman that
made the arrest is a democrat of Tex
as and it stands needful for every col
ored man in Muskogee to deem him
as bad mark. He is not of the best
quality and if Muskogee gets many
more such policemen as Couch. the
colored people will have a poor foot
hold in the city Of Muskogee He
made the arrest after the box had
been moved, which shows he was not
in favor of honest people but it is
hoped the money wrongfully taken
will be of great benefit to the poor
mute man that docs not regard
cripple.

Since the advent of the high geared,
low wheeled bike, each year has proven
more conclusively that the bicycle has
come to stay. First, it was used by the
few who were so favored by fortune
that they could indulge in the exhilerat-
ing exercise Of speeding over roads and
across country for what pleasure there
could be derived from it. What the
automobile is now to the laboring class
the bicycle was at that time. The cost
OF a good wheel was so high that only
those who were possessed Of more world
ly goods than they knew what to do
with could afford the luxury and even
then they were so orudely made that a
seasons bicycling ran up quite an ex-
pence account.
As the craze increased and it was seen

fed with the hotel business in other
places as well as Alma and now desires
the change.
Geo. w. Pulfrey in again taking up
the duties Of mine host OF this popular
hostelry, does so with an added expert
ence since he left Alma several years
ago 30 take the management OF the Steel
at st. Johns. The Steel is recognized
as one OF the best modern hotels in the
state ana while there Mr.. Pulfrey ex-
tended his acquaintance materially with
the travelling public. Later he managed
the Omena Inn at Omena Beach, leav.
ing from there to manage the Leelanau
at the same place. Both these hotels
are only kept open during the resort
season and in the winter Mr.. Pulfrey
engaged in other business. Two years
ago he moved back 10 Alma and en-.
gagged in the grocery business. Later
he sold out and last season he managed
the Park Hotel, another summer resort
institution, at Frankfort. When the
season closed he returned TO Alma and
decided to again take up the manage
ment of his own property when Mr..
Ferris lease expired, which takes place
May lst.
The whole house is to be renovated,
papered and painted and the rooms re-
furnished to a considerable extent. The
walks and lawns about the place will
be cleaned and fitted up in handsome
and inviting manner, an improvement
which will be appreciated by everybody.
He expects to also maintain a livery
in connection with the hotel.

that there was demand for better and
cheaper machines, manufacturers and
machinists aimed TO that end with the
result that manufacturing establish
ments sprung up all over the world.
The result has been all that could be
desired. Today we see men, women
and children, in all walks of life, using
the bicycle, not so much for pleasure as
OF yore-the novelty having worn itself
out-but as help to mankind in general
in keeping pace with this busy, bustling
world. Walking to and from ones work
takes up too much Of the time and here
is where the bicycle plays an important
part. In many manufacturing estab-
lishments in the large cities. are to be
found rooms set apart for the storing
OF their employees wheels during the
time they are at work Children use
them in going and coming from school,
the exercise Of the riding at the same
time aiding in the development OF their
young bodies The doctor and the
lawyer use them in going TO and from
the office, while clerks, salesgiTls and
stenographers are aided by them in the
same manner. The bicycle has come to
stay and has superseded the horse in
many ways, although it is not supposed
that anything, not even the automobile,
can take the place OF that noblest of
man s animal friends
Alma is fortunate in having dealer
in bicyclesin in the person Of Bert Forquer,
who thoroughly understands his busi-
ness and who aims 10 satisfy all classes,
OF people. II you want the high grade
chainless, il is TO be found at his store.
II you want high grade chain geared
wheel at more moderate price, he has
it,. II you want the cheaper grade, again
he can satisfy you. Mr.. Forquer first
took up the business in 1900, at that
time in st. Louis. In 1902 he purchased
the store in Alma owned by j. p. Nc
Kay, considered at that time as good a
stock as to be found in the county. He
has in many ways improved the business
in keeping with the times until now he
has as complete a repository as will be
found anywhere in place the size of
Alma. His leading makes Of wheels are
the well-known National, Rambler,
Columbia, Crescent, Racycle, Tribune,
Hartford, Hudson and many others of
all grades His speciality is repairing
and enameling, and he employees only
competent men to assist him in the work.
Bicycle sundries and sporting goods Of
all kinds can also be found in this well
equipped bicycle store.
