From the best accounts 1t appears
that the first bicycle-meaning by the
term a two wheeled machine for hui
man locomotion--was made In France
about the year 1915. This pioneer ma
chine was very awkward affair, con
sisting OF couple Of heavy wooden
wheels Of equal diameter, one behind
the other and Joined together by Ion
gitudinal wooden bar on which the rid
er's seat was fixed the mode Of pro
pulsion being the pushing Of the feet
against the ground. Not for fifty years
was any real progress made. In 1869
the machine with the big driving wheel
with the little hind wheel was invent
ed by Michaux Of Paris, and a few
years. later came the safety" which,
with many improvements. is the ma
chine we have today.

A Fair Warning
One That Should be Needed by Wash
burn Residents.

Frequently the first sign OF kidney
trouble is slight ache or pain in
the loins. Neglect of this warning
makes the way easy for more seri-
Gus troubles = dropsy, gravel,
Bright's disease. IT'S well to pay
attention to the first sign. Weak
kidneys generally grow weaker. and
delay is often dangerous. Residents
of this locality place reliance. This
tested remedy has been used in kid
ney trouble over so years-is recon-
mended all over the civilized world.

sitting down for while, could
hardly get up. My kidneys showed
signs OF weakness and disorder and
the kidney secretions were highly

IRON RIVER
Pioneer

Louis Nordquist, a farmer who
resides south of iron River, was in
town yesterday and told OF very
odd freak of nature which he dis
covered last Saturday. He butcher
ed large sow and discovered that
it had two separate and well formed
hearts and livers. Mr.. Nordquist
said that the truth of his statement
can be vouched for by mem bens OF
his family and by Isaac Gustafson,
a neigh Dor who helped him butcher
The hog in question was raised on
the Nordquist farm and looked as
far as outward appearances go. like
any other well fed hog.

attempt to wreck the South Shore
passenger train at a point near the
Iron river bridge was discovered by
Harry Dahl about seven O'Clock
last night. Mr.. Dahl was on his
way up town and when passing the
switch caught his foot caught in
the curve of heavy bar of iron
which was quite securely fastened
in such way that it appeared to
be deliberately placed with the idea
of throwing the train off the track.
An investigation later, however,
revealed that the iron was off a
freight car. and that unqueston-
ably it had become lodged entirely
accidentally. Nevertheless it was
a very fortunate thing that Dahl
stumbled onto the obstruction when
he did.

He Frankly Admitted There Was One

A curious coincidence surrounds the
entering of George Dewey as cadet at
the naval academy, from which he
graduated with great honor in 1858
His appointment was that of alternate
to another Montpelier (vt) boy, son Of
Vermont physician. also named
George. They had played together and
fought many sham battles side by
side In the little old red schoolhouse.
George I. received the naval appoint
ment, but for family reasons decid-
ed to enter the ministry, and the va
cancy was taken by the alternate,
George Dewey, who was ready for any
fight on land or sea, as he many times
proved In the little Montpelier school
house.
No one remembers better than the
writer the great demonstration In Bos-
ton Oct. IA, 1899, when Admiral Dewey
was the hero Of the hour. Congratula-
lions were telegraphed from the old
playmate, George, of the Montpelier
days: "Bully for you, George. Have
you ceased swearing as you did in the
old boyhood days? I could not have
fought that battle of Manila, but am
sending you sermon. preached It
last Sunday in my Syracuse church"
The reply came:
George, I may have fought like bulldog,
and may still swear at times but could
not have preached that sermon.

AMERICAN SHIP HAS THREE
 ROUNDS WITH ENEMY U-BOAIS
Officers of Ship Reaching Atlantic Port Tell of Several Encounters
 on Round Trip.

An Atlantic Port, July lS.-Ihree experiences with German subma- .rines on a round trip Atlantic voy- age were reported by officers and passengers on an American steam ship who arrived here today. On the voyage over, two days from her destination, boat was sighted. Gun ners on the steamship opened fire and the enemy craft disappeared. It was not known whether hit was scored
 On her return voyage the liner was warned by wireless of the pres ence of U-boats and put into port where she waited two days while de- stroyers drove away the submarines
 Finally the ship got into open sea and was rushing thru the danger zone when the wake of torpedo was seen The shot went twenty yards astern. The bad aim of the Germans was attributed to heavy black smoke from the ships tunnels that lay low on the water
 Later a gas buoy was mistaken for the coming tower of subma- rine. It blew up after 6 shots had been fired.

ENGLAND IS sURE oF FOOD.
Stocks on Hand Will Last Seven
 Months. It k Estimated.

London, July % kennedy Jones, retiring director general of food economy, said in an interview yes terday that England's food supply for the year was assured. even if the present rate of shipping losses were maintained.
 "in March. he said, the short- age of tonnage the partial failure of the worlds wheat crop and the submarine depredations combined for disaster. The situation was se- rious. We had nine weeks supply of breadstuffs.
 Today, through the voluntary cooperation of the people, it is cer- tain we will be able to start the new cereal year with nearly seven months stocks, which, together with the enormous potato crop coming into the arSet, will make next years situation a mere ques- ton of whether in twelve months we will be able to import five months supplies. Even if the sink ings continue at the present rate, this should not be difficult, because of the new tonnage which will be- come available next month here and in America

GENTLE GERMAN
 METHODS EXPOSED
Three Teutons Arrested in Kansas City for Selling and Giving Away Court-Plaster Carrying Tetan-
 us Germs.

Kansas City, July iS.-A plot to spread terror thru Kansas, by the means of disease inoculation with court-plaster, was stated today by Fred Robertson, United States dis trict attorney for Kansas, at Kan sas City, Kas., to have been broken up thru the arrest of three men in different towns in that state.
 Government tests, conducted by government chemists, were said to have revealed tetanus germs on plasters the three men were selling and giving away. Other germs, not yet identified, were declared to have been found
 The names and location of the three men were withheld by MT Robertson. as he feared the men might be lynched. It was understood they are to be brought here for questioning.
 Mir. Robertson was at a loss to find a motive for the alleged plot. The fact that the names of the three per- sons under arrest were of Teutonic origin might indicate, he said, that it was of an enemy nature.
 T don't know just how to attri- bute it, he said. It may be merely the work of cranks or it may have a broader scope. We are continuing our investigations"
 The three men have been under arrest several days,
