ON THE Wisi! What ‘Round-the- World Stevens and Champion Howell Say of the Sport Ths popularity of ‘eyeling is grow- ing. Thomas Stevens, who has just been around the globe on a wheel, says that the best roads in the world ae found in British India. The Grand Trunk road is 1,600 miles, au un broken highway of marvelous per fection, from P rshawar the Afghan frontier to Calcutta. on crete, beds of which lie along the line. How such roads would be appre- ciated by the enthusiastic ‘cyclers of this country! The wonderful achievement of Mr. Stevens, in the face of myriad dangers, entitles him to all honors. The fast riding champion of the world, however, is Richard Howell, of Leicester, England. He is a splendidly made fellow, between 25 and 30 years of age, six feet high, and weighing, in training, about 160 pounds. He commenced riding in 1879 and in 1481, at Belgravia grounds, Lei- cester, he won the ene mile cham piouship of the world, beating all the best men of the day. From that time his career has been one of alinost unbroken suc cess. He came to the United States in 1884 and in 1885, and at the great Spri: gfield tournament in 1885, won seven out of eight races. In the 'Cycling News (Eng.) Oct. 1st, 1887, is the following interview with him: “What are your best perform- ances?” “This year I did a fall mile on the track at Coventry in 2 minutes, 35 seconds. Good judges think, with everything in my favor, I could do 2:30 for tno distance.” “What is your system of train- ing?” “I eat plain good food, and plenty of it. I take a little walk before breakfast, and then, after that meal, ifI am loggy, ride eight or nine miles-on the track here, in thick flannels. After dinner I do some more ‘slogging’ work, and may be a walk and early to bed. “But there is one idea of mine which I have found invaluable. If I have done too much work, or my system is out of order, or if I don’t feel quite sound, I take what I have used since I was-‘queer’ in 1883. I have always found that Warner's safe cure sets me up and puts metorights again, and it is a remedy which I believe in and tell all my friends about. ‘In’ the winter-time especially, when you can easily understand Iam not so, careful of my health as in the spring, summer or autumn, I have found it invaluable. “ANT want, to beat the fastest bicyclist in the world, is plenty of practice, an occasional dose of my favorite, and my machine. “When I am about rightin weight Tcontent myself with short, sharp bursts as hard as ever I can go on ~ the track, and when I can cover 440 yards in thirty seconds with a flying Start, I reckon to be moving as well as I want to.” Bicycling is glorious sport, but it has its physical ill effects which, however, can be easily overcome by method used by Champion How- The New York Sun tells of a Miss Clara Moore, of Cincinnati, who a year or two ago went to Los to visit friends. She had a few hun- dred dollars with her. She invested in land which she could now sell for be fully one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars. She is now both- ered by many suitors.

Yesterday was the last day under the new railroad law by which the railroad companies could file their freight schedules with the comuis- sivners. October 5, and one of the same was a clause giving the railroad compa- nies thirty days time in which to file their schedule of rates. The limit expired yestrrday and every railroad company in the state complied with the law. The last company to file was the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa- cific, and when Commissioner Hard- | ing telegraphed Mr. Swords, general freight agent of that road, an in- quiry as to whether the commission- }ers should make a schedule for him or not, the answer came promptly that the Rock Island rates were on the way, and that he was very de | sirous of observing the new law in every particular, and in pursuance of this desire had posted his freight rates in a conspicuous place in every depot on the line of the road. The commissions will divide the state in- | to three districts and each member | of the board will be assigned toa district, over which he will travel to see that there is no violation of the “swamp angel” law, and also to see shippers and to he: nmplaints from either the railroad or the shipper This method will also give the con- missioners a good opportunity to in- vestigate the condition of the vari ous roads.—Jefferson City Tribune.

The Verdict Unanimous W. D. Sult, druggist. Bippus, Ind., testifies; ‘1 can recomend Electric Bitters as the very best rem- edy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of rheu- matism of ten years standing.’’ A- braham Hare, druggist, Bellville O. affirms: ‘*The best selling medicine lever handled in my 20 years ex perience 1s Electric bitters.’’. Hnn- dreds ot others have added their tes- timony, so that the verdict is unan- imous that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys and the blood.

William R. Morrison. The clerk looked over the list of | applicants and informed Gen. Black | that the name of Mr. Morrison did not appear thereon. “That makes no difference,” said the Commissioner; “Mr. Motrison served over sixty days inthe Mexican | war, and, being over 62 years of age, is entitled to a pension of $8a month under the act of last January. Make out his certificate.” The clerk did as instructed, and the document entitling the Interstate Commerce Commissioner to draw $96 per annum was made out in due and approved legal form and transmitted to the beneficiary. Col. Morrison perused the document, and, quietly folding it up, placed it in an inter- state commerce envelope of official size and returned it to the pension office, accompanied by a terse little note which stated that he had never applied for a pension and did not desire one, expressing at the same time his thanks for the unsolicited favor.

The tire on sne of the driving wheels burst and one piece shattered several sections of fence. Another piece whizzed past the fire- man’s head, entered the baggage car, passed through it and the smoking car, flew through the first passenger coach, and left the train at the rear end of the second coach without do- ing any injury to passengers or crew. The train was running about forty miles an hour at the time, and the flying piece of tire had the velocity of acannon ball. It sounded like a shell scream as it flew through the coaches. The damage to the cars is about $300.—Philadelphia Press. The announcement has been made that a paper coffin has been invented and put upon the market. A man may now build his house of paper, eat his dinner from paper plates, wipe his face with a paper handker- chief, buy his wife a paper piano, travel on cars with paper wheels, play billiards with paper balls and go to his grave in a paper coffin. The coffin may be paid for with a piece of paper and the death published on another piece. There are few things more useful than paper. A Chattanooga paper states that Elder M. M. Davis, pastor of the Christian church of this city, has re- ceived and will accept a call to one of the Christian churches of that city. The Elder's many friends will regret his departure, as he hasassist- ed very materially in building up the church here.—Sedalia Bazoo. Elder Davis was formerly pastor of the Uhristian church at this place and did excellent work for his con- gregation. HALL’S There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last tew years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years Doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable.
