Cutting Pricea Is quite common in Omaha. flfl(1 the size of , the cut depontls on the ahrowdiiess. of the buyer. Ilecently a inako selling In Omaha for $100 was purehased In Council Bluffs for $75. The Omabs. agoct attempted to stop the sate by tolegraphire to the manufacturers , but falied. .It Is doubtful It the dealera can nmcli longer maintain the standard century price. A public cut is sure to follow private alaah- lug of prices. Conditions nch as recently existed in a nia1I town In Now Jersey , twelve miles front Philadelphia , form a fitting object lea- eon of the proflt in good roads. In consequence - quonco of the had roa(1s ( the wagon-makers thereabout constructed four-horse vehicles to carry fifty-five btisiiCl baskets tw , a maxi- nurn load. which was regarded as heavy hauling. float oLaLo had gone a-begging for years ; there no poibIo market for it. It had boon impossIble to settle up estntc jccauso no purchaser could bo found for the land. Iltit a levi years ago the people of th community woke up. The , town Issued $10,000 worth of bonds and applied - plied the proceeds to better roadways. Ao a result New Jersey wagon-inakors of the I vicinity of Philadelphia are makingtwo - I itorso vehicles to carry , not fltty-IIvo bushel t Ijaskets , but loads made up from ninety 1 to 125 bushel baskets and. still the loads I are not yogardcd as heavy. Two horses are 1 able t db more work than four horses , anti with much more ease. On the ltl roads two men antI four horses , I wittt a wagon weIghing 1.900 lOtIfldS , could take two and a. halt tons of produce to market and bring back an cqual weight of fertilizer , nicking one trip a. ( lay. Now , on tim good roads. one man with two horses , and a wagon weighing 2,300 voilnde , takes four ton's to market , bringing back an equal weIght and making four tripa a day. When Colonel L'opo , the apostle of good roads in America , made such predictions u. thcea canT in lila crusade , they were roeoived with little enthucilasm , but ho has btiSII b fzie out In hIs atatenienL Urns and. tlmo.again , until tile VO6 road itnproveniont going on all over the country is a monument to he energy and persiatenco of the man. Billie l3ainbridge. the old-time EnglIsh oraolr , to in training. for road racing this season with the most remarkable lookIng freak wheel that has over been seen on a Chicago course. The frame is of ordinary construction , with an cct.renicly narrow tread , anti fitted with twenty-two inch wheels inteatl of the customary twenty-eight. The extreme of freaklnesa Is manifested in the prockct anti gearing. The front aprockcL is twelve inches in diameter , the crank form- lug one poke , and. thin right-hand iedah is nttachod just nt the rim of the sprocket. The rear sprocket is much larger than usual , to arrange for a seventy-one inch gear , and the rower lH transmitted , not by tlto regulation chaIn but by an endlem banl of spring steel , pierced at intervaha of atout two Inches to receive riveL , which project through the inner side. TIm hoada of these rivet's engage with small elotn cut into the periphery of the two sprocket wheels. With ' light racing bars and a new nattern of wood saddle the now wheel tips the scab at thirteen pounds , abcut the tightest weight of actual racing wheel ever turned out. The odvantago Is claimed In the fact that the wheel sets extremely. low in the wind , and that in following pace it rnabloa the rider to got the advantage of every hit of air prceuuro saved hlxii by the pacemaker. l3aln- bridge claims. that the band gearing is uii- breakab'e. requires no lubrIcating , and oavea every atom of power applied to it. A wiieolmaa of ripe experience cayn that cycli.sts should accustom themro'.ves to "rid- lag the pe.lala" as mccli as possible , allow- dng- only part at the weight to rest on. the saddle. Practice ha shown that the beat osltion on the saddle is in front of , the post , e , that a plumb tine dropped front the noise err the seat to the ground would interrect the crank when in a horizontal position. when 010 the upwards turn. about two and one-halt thches back of the shaft. ThIs ut the rider voll over his worir , antI aliotys hIm to exert more roWer with less fatigue thas wouid be iosslbho with the seat placed behind the saIcllo post. The elevation of the saddle should be such that the rider may easIly reach the pedal with bbs heal while at. the loWest point. It tim country to ho ridden Over is rough , it i well to llaco the . 'mldio iover than this , but. a saddle placed too low is not adapted to fast riding. The ends of tIm hiaiidle bars shoulil be higher for real riding luau for track ise , and should bo placed nearer the bOdy. Narrow handle bars are much more comfortable for any kind of riding than the very wide ones which were iii use a few years ago. A bar seventeen inches from tip to top in a etralgbt tine will be found about right for any but short men.

IML'OflTANP Bicycle ltzicIii.r and Its Itelatloli. to . \cIdi'sit Insurnflce , The rolatIti4'bt bicycle racing to accident Insurance is the eubject of a recent decision by the appellate division of- the supreme court sitting at. Albany , which is of coooid- erablo practical Interest and importance to wheclmen , says tIm New York Sun. The National Accident society of New York issued an accident policy to one John J. Keefe. Ir..Reefe was a wlieotnian and au.- talijed iajuhes , yhblo riding in a bicycle race , on accotlntot which ho brought suit against. thti , , insurance company upon his policy. Th t inetniment contained a clau.ae in these yord "This policy ahall not extend - tend to Oeo'r injury resulting from volun- tory ovc Ccrt1an. either voluntary or un- aecessaopoaure.to. . danger , or to obvious risk. at 'pju5 : ; " Tim company aked the' trial cou4lo dimtas the complaint on the ground tliab this exception necossarUy embraced - braced the' eeL of riding In a bicycle race , bocauiid ti conupjetltor in such a control , from .it.a , very nat4 , .

Thi&'judbbtoro whom the case was tried refused 1a'holti that iarticipatieit in a bicycle race \vas , ae matter of'la.w , a violation of the policy , but left' it to the jury to say , as matter of fact and In view of th circuna- stances oft5ffld aeciJent , whether the plain- till was 1n3ued. in consoquende of voluntary ovcroxertlQz or needicsu exposure to danger which. wits obvious. Tue jury found in favor of Mr. ICeefo. and the National Accident society took the case up to the appeilate dLv1ston'tOjevioW. Tile opthlon in that branch of the court. is written by Judge Charles E. Parker of Owago , the new presiding justice in the Third department. a. son of Judge John M. Paricer. who was on the general term in the same department upward of twenty' years ago. " .It cannot ho said as matter of law' , " Judge Parker declares , "that the plaintiff overcxrtiiig himself , or that ho volun- tsrilr expda iImself to danger by entering into the , raie .1fterent and equally intelligent - gent and uifasbd men might fairly differ in opinion as f whether or hot , by taking part in lieit a race , any risk of injury was ncceumrlly lnurred , and wo think the court was right ih leaving that question to the jury. " The appellate division therefore upheld - held the verdict. This- decision may be regarded as estab. liahuing the PropoSition that participation in a bicycle race dces not operate na a legal bar to the recovery of accident insurance on account of injuries sustained in the conte t.

The device has for Its central idea the application of pneumatic cushions between the wheels and the frame. In order to secure this end a piece of mechanism called a pneumatic hub was Invented , It consists of a circular inflated rubber ring , through which the axle passes and on which time weight of the franso rests. This air cushion is expected to take up the vibration from the wheel before it strikes the frame , and to give all tue advantages of a pneunuatic tire with a soliil tired wheel. One of these pneumatic hubs is placed at the axle of either wheel. The tires theni.- solves are of the large cushion variety , said to possess 30 per cent of the resiliency of the pneumatic tire. Not being inflated , they are not liable to puncture , and this fact is expected to matte. up for many drawbacks. The weight or the pneumatic hubs is said to ho' one pound in excess of thio ueual ap. paratus. A spring seat post is the. latest jar' removing - moving device. In looks the non' seat post Is exactly like the ordInary article , but constats of a solid roil playiog inside of an outside cylinder. . &t the end of the rod is a 'tempered steel spring which supports the weight of the rider. Thu tension on this spring may be regulated by an ingenious screw nut so as to fit time weight of the rider. All danger of the saddle turning to one side is prevented by two longitudinal groovee iii the post , into which tongues in the outside cylinder fit. , ' Extravagant claims are made by the users' of these new posts. The lessening of jar to the rider caused by one of thenu is said to enabla a man to ride a much greater distance - tance than on the ordinary ouflt. Punctures are also alleged to be much less and the wear and tear on the machine is claimed to bo groatiy lessened. The inventor thinks tito new devlco soiree the saddle problem.
