The Cycling Champions, “If you know anyone who is anxious to back in the Saturday night mateh against Bullock send them around and Ll find them takers,” said John 8. Prince to a BEE reporter yesterday. Bullock is in swlendid condition and feels that in a 100-mile race he ean do up the Canadian champion. The race will commence at 4:30 o'clock in the after- noon and will be finished at 10:30. T'he record for 100 miles is 6 hours, 6 minutes and 12 onds and belongs to Windy Morgan, Itis more than probable that this will be smashed on Saturday night.

The constitution and by-laws will be printed 1n pamphlet form for distribution among the members of the association and also for general distribution among the shippers of the state, the object being to induce others to join. Several ship pers spoke of the way in which some commission firms send out men to buy stock in direct competition with the reg- ular buyers sud thus cempel them to ship to their irm. One of these men, in a certain instance, offe point where he waus buying it the regula shipper there would pay him §100. By reason of the extentto which this system of bulldozing has béen carried on by some firms, the following was adopted : Resolved, That it is the sense of this association that we do not sanction the practice of certain commission lirms lo- cated 1o this state i tue matter of double- dealing so as to compel shippers to con- sign to them. resolution was offered and wnan- imouasly adopted *thanking the Omaha Bee for gratuitously publishing calls for the meetings of the association.

Athlophoros has done me more good than all other medicine put together, for I was a great sufferer from rheumatisin and neuralgia, and can say today, I am tree from both complaints, Mrs Maria Sron W. S, Hopkins, 1 Avenue, Cedar Rapids, Towa, says: “My wife and daugh= ter were both stricken with inflammatory rheumatism at the same time, The lower limbs were much swollen, the pain seemed much beyond endurance, sleep was out of the question, They suffered so much that to move or even touch the sheet on the bed would cause the most violent paln, They were confined to the bed four weeks, Du ing that time and previous I bought many kinds of medicine; then 1 employed a ph sician, but nothing gave relief until I heard of Athtophoros. I bought a bottle at onc and am glad to say in a very short time the swelling was reduced, the pain gone and they were entirely well,” Ever, 'drutz.\zwt should keep Athlopho ros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they cannot be bought of the druggist the Athlophoros Co., 112 Wall St., New York, will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price, which i; 00 per bottle for Athlophoros and 50c. for ills, For liver nnd kidney disonses, dyspepsia, in- digestion, weakness, norvous u-,vmfn v, disoisos of woman, constipatior fmpuro blood, ete..
