The big six-day bicycle race at Madison
Square Garden, in which the best long
distance men in the world are fighting for
gold and glory. by last night had devel-
oped into a steady. ceaseless grind. Worn
by the ceaseless grind. none of the riders
seemed anxious 10 set a killing pace"

behind the record established in previous
contests.

earlier stages OF the race were almost en-
tirely lacking during the night and early
hours OF yesterday.
One OF the results OF the slow gait was
an almost entire absence Of accidents.
During the night there was only one
spill, and that effected only one rider.

Madison avenue end OF the track by his

GAS AT ONE DOLLAR.
Proposition Received by the City
Which Was All Air.

Mayor Bergundthal has found let
ter which he received some time ago,
for the purpose of showing that there
is a possibility that Topeka can get
gas at 81 thousand feet. This letter
was dated South McAlester, I. T.. and
was as follows:
81 notice by a recent court decision
that your city is compelled to pay the
gas company the amount they demand.
also that your people are DESTROYS of
obtaining gas for 5 per NJ cubic feet.
If the city will grant me a franchise
for putting in a plant, L will agree to
furnish coal gas or fixed gas at 81
per NJ. 1 will cover the entire city
with the system. 1 am building a gas
plant at this place and have it almost
completed We charge 81 per NJ and
are satisfied.
-. A. JONES"
Mayor Bergundthal wrote letter to
Mr. J. a. Jones. telling him that his
talk was encouraging. and to send on
more details of the proposition. Jones
never replied, which gives some reason
to suspect that he was four fiusher.

a brother hermit to vacate in his IA
