STANFORD UNIVERSITY, July strange storage place for stolen bicycles has been discovered on a remote corner of the campus. About ten days ago two bicycles were stolen from the residence of Rev. J. W. Graybell in Palo Alto and no trace of them could be discovered. This week the two wheels were found by some students secreted in the underground tun- nel leading Into Frenchman's Lake, back of the university. They evidently ha Peen hiddon thare undl they might b v disposed of. - The tunnel is a curious one, having been built years ago by the old Frenchman Peter Coutts, to whom much of the pres- ent campus once belonged. The use of the tunnel has been the subject of spec- ulation, and whether it was for the pur- pose of developing water, or whether it constituted an elaborate system of hiding places for defense is not Known. A Stan- ford student t years ago took up the matter for independent research, but be- yond Iceating one or two new caverns he discovered nothing. The present instance is the first known where the tunnel has been used as a rob- bers’ den. WILL ORGANIZE A CO-OPERATIVE COLONY. Joseph Johnson Will Build a City on the Shores of Lake Erie. TOLEDO.

EW YORK, July 9.—Motor-paced cycle racing will receive consid- erable of an impetus in Amer- ica by the return from Europe of “Tom” Linton and Charles ‘W. Miller. They bring with them three French-made naphtha tandems and tell glowing tales of the success of this style of machine in paced races in Eu- rope. Two of the machines brought over are the property of Linton, whose in- tention it is to meet all comers in mid- distance competition during his Ameri- can sojourn. To assist Linton there came with him one of the best tandem pacing crews in the business. are August Cabaillat of Paris, France, who is clalmed to be without a peer, and Dudley Marks. Before the ses pacing crews to a series of races on motor tandems. Charles Miller's purpose in importing the French tandem is to begin training for middle and long distance races. Six- day contests are too few and far be- tween, says Miller, and and so he in- tends to enter the class of which Harry Elkes and Linton are the most promi- nent exponents. Miller’s debut in this style of racing will bé made in a match with Elkes at a distance of 100 miles. ter’s injured arm permits this race will a fortnight. It is Miller’s intention to meet Burns Pierce and Frank Waller in similar races later in the season. Both Linton and Miller believe that races of one hour’s duration, open to all, would become as popular in New York, Philadelphia and other Ameri n cities as they are in France. races of this kind in Paris, says Linton, s many as ten or thirteen competitors have started, each paced by a motor cyele. Linton won the Grand Prix de Paris at fifty kilometers, with the lat- ter number of competitors. The ma- “hines the Welshman brings with him carried him to victory in seven out of the nine races in which he has started this year. Among the noted European riders he defeated in these contests were Walbers, Taylor, Bouhours, Champion, Ciscoc and Chase. Linton, while eager for a match with Elkes, will first pay his respects to Ed- die McDuffie. The Boston race follower, he says, issued several challenges to him immediately after he had departed from America last year and at a time when he could not accept them. He offers to meet McDuffie at any distance the latter names above ten miles, but suggests that a series of three races be arranged, McDuffie to choose the dis- tance of the first, Linton that of the second and If a third be necessary its length to be decided by toss. PHILADELPHIA, July 9.—Jules Junker, who is perhaps the most enthusiastic automobilist in Philadel- phia, said to-night that before the sum- mer s past Philadelphia is likely to have one of the most in the country.

He has three automobiles now and has another machine built in France on its way to this country. Its cost in Paris was $700, and the duty to be paid will be 45 per cent, thus making a total of $1200.

A What a Little Faith Did FOR MRS. ROCKWELL. [LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. 69,884] “I was a great sufferer from female weakness and had no strength. It was impossible for me to attend to my | household duties. I had tried every- | thing and many doctors, but found no | relief. | Iy sister advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which 1 did; before using all of one bottle I felt better. I kepton with it and to my great surprise I am cured. | All who suffer from female complaints should give it a trial."—Mgs. Rock- WELL, 1209 S. DivisioN ST., GBAND i Rapips, Micn. From a Grateful Newark Woman. “When I wrote to you I was very sick, had not been well for two years. 'The doctors did not seem to help me, and one said I could not live three months. I had womb trouble, falling, ulcers, kidney and bladder trouble. There seemed to be such a drawing and burning pain in my bowels that I could not rest anywhere. After using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound and Sanative Wash and follow- ing your advice, I feel well again and stronger than ever. My bowels feel as if they had been made over new. With many thanks for your help, I remain, L. G., 74 ANN ST., NEWARE, N.
