'
 All the way from Winnipeg comes . story to the effect that there will be n revival iE bicycle racing, and Tom Eek. widely known for many years in Canada and the United States as ..the bicycle king" is responsible for 1t. He was the champion rider of Canada during the days of the high wheel but subsequently, became more famous as q trainer, most of the great riders of the past twenty years passing through his hands.
 .,rhe bicycle game is dead one now in the United States. but do think it will revive! Well,look Ut rollcr-skating.
 A very short time ago roller-skat- ing was as dead as Il door nail, now we can't get rinks built fast enough to meet the demands
 Fifteen years ago Eek was manag- ing string of the best riders in the United States. About that time he crossed the ocean in search of talent an brought back with him nine men, one of whom was Jimmy Michael. the Welsh marvel. Previous to this time he brought out John s. Johnson, well known throughout the United States, whose manager Eek was for five years. Other noted riders trained by Eek were John $. Prince, Albert Schoek, w. NJ. Woodslde, Frank Dingley. Wilbut Knapp, s. G. Whit taker, Horace Crocker and l.. D. Mum ger. On the safety cycle he trained Johnson. Jimmy Michaels.

REyoLUTIONIzEs FOOTBALL

New Haven, Sept 13.-Tom Shev- lin, captain of Yale's football team last year, is in town for few days on his way back from European trip. "The new rules will revolution ize the game,'' he says. There's no doubt about that. My idea of coach- ing, however, would be to build up the team with the old rules as a bass. adding instruction In the new rules after the team was grounded in in- structiOn in the old, rather than to start team trying to figure .out tl.e new rules.
 ..rhu new rules won't cut down ac- cidents any. On the other hand. l expect to see more accidents than cv- CT this fall The rule allowing any. body to rush for fumbled ball will be prolific of accidents, for 1t will mean that twenty-two players will be all throwing themselves on fumbled ball or trying to kick It. Under the new rules, look to see some well coached high school teams beat some big universities. It will be year oi football surprises, for about all ths elevens will start even."
 Practice by the candidtes 10. tht Yale football team of l9O6 will tegir next Monday, when fifteen of tht squad will report.

It looks es if Coach Reid and his assistants will have a hard time iey .'oplny ' successful team this year. "Pooch Donovan, the new trainer. was on hand yesterday afternoon and made good impression.
 In the work yesterday there were several little things that pointed to the new game. The bunting was not of the old style. high and twisting. The coaches tried rather to get the all lower and have 1t placed with ac. curacy. The backs were not allowed to ..bounce" the kicks. There was some work on the forward pass. Ow' ing to number of experiments which Coach Reid wishes to try the men will go into secret practice on Friday afternoon. and thereafter the after noon session will be held behind the fence.

That our American forests abound In
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores of the most eminent medical
writer's and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This informa-
tion, impaired freely to the whites. led
the latter to continue Investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.
DR.. Pierce believes that our American for
ests abound In most valuable medicinal roots
for the cure OF most obstinate and fatal dis
eases. III We would properly Investigate them;
and. in confirmation OF this conviction, he
points with pride to the almost marvellous
cures effected by his ~Golden Medical Dis
covery." which has proven itself 10 be the
most efficient stomach tonic. liver invigor-
ator. heart tonic and regulator. and blood
cleanser known to medical science. Dyspep-
sia, or indigestion. torpid liver. functional
and even valvular and other affections of
the heart yield to it's curative action. The
reason iohy 1t cures these and many other
affections. Is clearly shown in q little book
OF extracts from the standard medical works
which Is mailed free to any address By DR.. X.
v. Pierce. OF Buffalo. N. Y, to all sending
request for the same.
Not less marvellous. in the unparalleled
cures II is constantly making of woman's
many peculiar affections, weaknesses and
distressing derangements. is DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. as Is amply attested
by thousands OF unsolicited testimonials con-
tributed by grateful patients who have been
cured by 1t OF catarrhal pelvic drains painful
periods. Irregularities. prolapsus and other
displacements caused by weakness. ulcer

Both the above mentioned medicines arc
wholly made up from the glyceric extracts of
native medicinal roots. The processes em-
ployed I'm their manufacture were origin al
with DR.. Pierce. and they are carried on by
skilled chemists and pharmacists with the
aid of apparatus and appliances specially
designed and built for this purpose. Both
medicines are entirely free from alcohol and
all other harmful. habit-forming drugs A

Further Particulars of the
Terrible Destruction wrought
by the Tropical Hurricane
Many Lives Lost and Many
Million Dollars Worth of
Property Destroyed.


Flomaton, Ala.-The worst hur
ricane to visit this city in it's
history and almost equaling the
Galveston disaster, ragged here
furiously all last night and this
morning, and today, with gale
still blowing, the city presents a
wrecked appearance and the
damage is estimated at $5,000,-
900. The loss of life will be heavy
among the mariners, but so far
only one body has been recover
ed, a man named George Morgan,
a fisherman. Other bodies are
reported along the shore, but
have not been recovered.
Commencing at O'Clock last
night wind blew at 80 miles for
three hours, then increased to
IS. From that time until 5 o'clok
it remained about 80 and 80
miles an hour. The tides from
the bay backed into the city for
blocks, destroying homes and
making rivers out of streets.
When the gale was at its high
est this morning and women and
children were running frantically
about the streets in darkness,
the alarm of fire was sounded
and this added to the confusion.
The fire started in the Pitt Mill,
near the bu .iuess district, and
horses Of the fire department re-
fused to go out in the weather.
With the tin roofs flying about
them, trees and wires falling
over them, the fitemen took their
hose wagons by hand and rushed
down the streets to the scene and
after hours of work controlled
the blaze. This afternoon the
water front and business districts
present an almost indescrib
able scene. Or the 50 or 60 big
steamers and sailing vessels w.
ing in the harbor, only five or
six are there now. They have
been driven ashore ard along
the water front is a mass OF
wreckage o. steamers, tow boats,
launches and sailing craft Of all
descriptions. Thirty fishing yes
sells in port have been destroyed
or damaged and the three big
fish houses, with their wharves,
are gone. Muscogee wharf and
the commandments and Tara
gona wharves of the Louisville
" NdShN me IO1IlltdI dIe b6IiS
damaged. Great iron ships of
1000 and 5000 tons have been
driven, not only ashore, but have
gone through houses a block from
the water front.
Every house along the water
for distance of ten miles has
been destroyed and the wonder
is hat the loss Of life is not
greater. The tracks of the termi
nal railway to the navy yard and
barracks have all been destroy
ed, as also the trestles and bridg
es.

hours on the city of Mobile.
The storm struck Mobile
Wednesday night at midui ght
and ragged for many hours, the
wind reaching a velocity of 80
miles an hour. Water from
Mobile Bay was blown into the
city by the gale and for time
stood seven feet deep in the
wholesale quarter from Royal
street to the Alabama river.
The loss of life is believed to
be mainly among negroes al
though conditions are SO chaotic
that information is indefinite.
Every church in Mobile was
damaged, and Christ church ca
thedral and ST. Francis Street
Baptist church suffered more
than others. The damage to
Christ church cathedral is esti-
mated at $4,000 and to st.
Francis Street Baptist church at
$4,000.
Numerous saw mills in the
northern AMI marshy regions
have been either washed away
by the terrific waves or torn to
splinters by the wind. Their
lumber and timbers are to be
seen scattered over the city and
floating down the slowly falling
river.
MISSILES FILLED STREET.
Mobile, Ala, Sept. 2S.-Be-
tween 6 o'clock Thursday even
ing and Friday night trees were
felled and roots were crushed by
hundreds. Through the streets,
carried by the terrific wind,
were hurled thousands of pieces
of =late, strips of tin roofing,
c c)rnices, shingles, and, in fact,
all kinds of debris. Blinds were
torn from their fastenings and
windows smashed as though OF
tissue paper.
Many persons were seriously
i jured and cut by flying slate,
tin and glass.
The Office of the Western Un-
ion Telegraph Company was six
feet under water. Its batteries
were flooded and it will be some
time before business can be re.
sumed. The Postal Telegraph
building suffered severely.
Hundreds OF bales of cotton
flo otted through the main streets
and were carried out to sea. -
Cotton not lost in this way was
