Symptoms of collapse are already vlalble
rrhlch started out with such a loud tooting
In the National Racing Cyclist's association ,
of trumpets n few weeks back. "Major"
Taylor , the colored scorcher , who signed the
declaration of Independence and snapped bis
lingers at the League of American Wheel
men , has paid the $15 line assessed by the
racing board and la now basking In the
smiles of Mott & Co. Taylor professes to
have been deceived by the proportions of
the revolt. Finding that It did not pan out
financially , as he expected , his manager hus
tled him back Into the ranks , and his money
was received Joyfully. After pocketing tin-
cash , Mott expressed his feelings In these
words : "The rebellion was Ill-advised at
the time the riders selected for the break.
They should have waited until the national
circuit was finished. They cut themselves
out of the competition for some rich prize *
to ride for first prizes of ? 40. "
Considerable prcsuro Is being brought to
bear on other kickers to get In out of the
wet , and an official Intimation has been con
veyed to them that , unless they hasten , sus
pension will bo made permanent. President
Potter thinks all the mc-n will eventually
come back , liacauso they will not find tracks
enough on which they can ride and receive
assurance of getting the money promised Incase
case- the meeting should be a "frost" and the
promoter should lese money.
Among the latest suspensions announced
by Chairman Mott Is that of Thomns W.
Eck. Eck Is probably the widest Unown
man In the cycling world. Ho has had n
varied career and has had under his chargfe
most of the famous knights of the cycle
path.
In the last year Kck's hostility to the
League of American Wheelmen has fre
quently been shown and It was an open secret
crot that ho was largely responsible for the
secession of the professionals. He had often
urged them to break away from league con
trol and was frco In expressing his belief
that the rules of the league and alleged
mismanagement were responsible for the
declination of the racing game. In Eck1 *
opinion It Is the lack of competition In race
meets that has almost made the game n
dead letter. It Is not likely that he will
inako an effort to secnro a reinstatement.
Many of the eastern experts are discussing
the chalnlesa bicycle , the thirty-inch wheels
and other fatures of the year. Most of them
are of the opinion that the chnlnless wheel
has come to stay , but nobody seems willing
to estimate Just what the demand will be for
wheels of this sort next year. Many are of
the opinion that the price of the chaltilrs
will play nn Important part. Several of the
prominent makers have not been won over
to the chalnless style as yet , and they will
depend on the chain wheel for next year.
Several prominent makers will put the
thirty-inch wheel on the market , but few
Rill feature It. This sort of bicycle had more
, or less sale during the present year. An ex
pert who has studied the matter carefully
Is of the opinion that the thirty-Inch wheel
Js all right on a level road , but that It Is
harder to propel tip a steep hill than the reg
ulation twenty-eight-inch wheel. Others say
that for men -with extremely long legs there
are advantages , providing that seven and
one-quarter Inch cranks are used. The ex
perts say that the makers will continue to
put the thirty-Inch wheel on the market eo
long as there Is a demand for It. Tha gen
eral opinion seems to be that men of average
stature and below tin , average will get bet
ter service out ot the regulation wheel.
Jersey snakes nro out later than usual this
year Just because there has been no frost to
drlvo them to cover. Snakes of all kinds In
digenous to Jersey soil seem to have been
Retting mixed up with bicyclists in the las
few weeks. Judging from Items In rural pa
pers In several counties. Miss May Cum
mins and Miss Minerva Chow of Ocean
county were out riding a few days ago nea
Whiting and each ran over a snake of a dif
ferent kind during her trip. Miss Chow ,
who Is n native of the county , had to cal
Miss Cummlug's attention to the fact tlia
Bho had run over and killed a pretty garte :
snake about thirty inches long. Miss Cum
mlng gazed with horror at the reptile , which
was still writhing in the road. Later In th
day Miss Chew , whllo In the lead , gave 11
little shriek as she saw a big pine snak
dart out of the huckleberry bushes nt the
etdo of the road and try to cross the thor
oughfaru ahead of her. There was no chance
to slacken speed and It was evident that th
snake could not scratch gravel fast enough
to avoid being run over. So Miss Chev
plunged at the pedals and Increased he
\ speed. The two wheels bumped over the bl
Jersey snake , while Miss dimming ills
mounted and screamed with fright.
The snake got the worse of the encounter ,
as It was completely disabled. It could mak
no forward progress after the 150-pound glr !
and her thirty-pound wheel had flattened I
down upon the gravel road , but Its hen
and tall were 'In lively motion and seemci
to bar further progress for Mlsa dimming ,
Miss Chew was In no way daunted , and
leaving the road , she found a stick wit
which oho killed the snake. U measured five
feet ten Inches In length.
"If you want to retain the respect of the
man who escorts you , don't be helpless
when you go out on a Wheel,1' Is the ndvlco
that a woman who has been rid lag long
enough to know offers to her fellow wheel-
women. Pursuing her theme , she said : "A
helpless woman about n house may be toler
able. Some men like It , but when they go
cycling with a girl they llko to regard her

Acid dyspepsia , commonly called heart
burn or sour utomnch , Is a form of Indiges
tion resulting from fermentation of the food.
The stomach bolnu too weak too promptly
digest It , the food remains until fermenta
tion begins , lllllns the stomach with gaa and
a bitter , tour , burning taste In the mouth
Is often present. This condition soon be
comes chronic and being an every day occurrence -
currenco Is given but little attention. Be
cause dyspepsia Is not Immediately fatal ,
many people do nothing for the trouble.
Within a recent period a remedy has been
discovered prepared solely to cure dyspepsia
and stomach troubles. It U known ns Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets , and IB now becom
ing rapidly used and prescribed ns a radical
euro for every form of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets hixve been
placed before the public and are sold by
druggists everywhere nt 60 cents per pack
age. U Is prepared by the Stuart Chemical
Co. , Marshall , Mich. , and while It promptly
aud effectively restores a vigorous digestion ,
at the eamo time Is perfectly harmless and
will not Injure the most delicate stomach ,
but on the contrary by giving perfect diges
tion etrcngthcncs the stomach , Improves the

and are a trifle athletic. Do not wait to be
helped on to your wJieor or off. Show that
you are able and ngllo , and the man will
actually llko you better , even though he
ficcms anxious to assist. Cycling has taught
women so much Independence that a rider
who does not give an exhibition of norno ot

any rate , ohe will not Interest n man as
much as one who scorns all help. "
The efforts of the city council of Chicago
to collect a tax of $1 a year from bicycle
riders have been bafted by the state supreme
premo court. In a decision Just rendered
the court nays : "Thcro Is no express power
given the city council to Impose this license
fee , and no Implied power arises which gives
the right. It has no power to levy a tax In
this manner. In any view of the cnse the
city has no power to adopt the ordinance. "
A new tire has been made In nngland ,
which Is almost entirely built up of corl :
with a thin rubber casing , and Us Inventor
claims that It Is just as light and just as
fast as an air tire. It has been said that
the Ideal road of the future will bo of cork.
The bricks out of which such a road would
o constructed are composed chiefly ot
iltumen and cork , which , mixed with cer-
aln other materials and subjected to great
ressure , makes an elastla and non-slippery
oad material.
Jimmy Michael , the Welsh inldgotwho Is
olns to desert the bicycle for race horses ,
as picked his racing colors and , what Is far
lore Important , his crest. Doubtless with
praiseworthy Idea to do honor to the land
hlch gave him birth , he has chosen the
adgc of the prince of Wales. The- badge ,
hlch Jimmy will wear on his back Is a
liime of three osthlch feathers , Arg. , enfllcd
y a coronet composed of lluurs-de-lls nnd
rosscs patteo or alternately and motto "Ich
3len. " Jimmy will not wear the motto , but
horse will. Ho has sent his racing part-
cr , George S. MacLelsh , down Into Kea-
ucky to pick up something fine as silk In
lie thoroughbred line , and that quadruped
111 bo christened "Ich Dlcn. " Jimmy's rac-
ng colors will be light blue and white. The
louse will be c blue with the heraldic deice -
ice worked out In white. The cap will bo

The leading manucacturcrs ot Mcyclo tires ,
; omposlng the Hubber Tire association , have
eclJcJ to maintain a guarantee on tires for
next season. It wilfbe as follows : "We agree
\lth the purchaser of each tire to make good
y repair or replacement , nt our option ,
vlicn delivered to us transportation prepaid ,
any Imperfection or defect In material or
manufacture of such tire ; provided , that all
iuch Imperfect or defective tires shall be
'eferred ' to us before any bill for repair or
cplaccment shall bo allowed. This guaran-
eo dos not Include the free repair of punc-
ures or other Injuries. This guarantee ex-
ilres on December 31 , JS09. This agreement
lops not apply to tires Into which any so-
allcd anti-leak preparation has been Intro-
luced. "
According to a report of the royal police
.uthorltlcs In Hqrlln , there were in 18UO
0,129 cards issued to bicyclists In that city
ind 27,422 more In 1897. The law requires
; vccy bicycle rider to have n card , but as
many people rldo without one the police
uthorlties estimate tbf > nciual number of
bicyclists at CO.OOO In 1S97. The Increase
since then Is estimated at a sufficient num
ber to make the present total1 80,000. In the
argo suburbs there are about 30,000 wheel-
nen , which brings the grand total of Ber-
In riders up to 110,000. In Vienna , where
there la no police control , the bicyclists are
estimated at 33,000. In the large cities of
Germany the riders are calculated at about
seventy or eighty to tha 1,000 Inhabitants ,
and for the whole country about sixty per
1,000. This makes an army of 3,120,000 bi
cyclists In Germany , according to the best
figures obtainable.
In speaking of the length of cranks a
prominent dealer says : "A fact which doca
not appear to have been grawped by those
who embark on the troubled sea of discus
sion of crank lengtih Is that the width of
tread plays a by no means unimportant part
In the question. Any one who devotes time
to careful experiment on the subject of
crank rength will , I think , quickly find that
a long crank docs not go well with a wide
tread. Indeed , I myself have often noticed
that a length of crank whloli was not too
long on a road racer with narrow tread was
nulto out of the question for comfortable rid
ing on a comparatively wide-treaded full
roadster. Immediately after the tread Is
widened the rider feels that the crank
which did nicely on the machine with a
bread narrower to the extent of half an Inch
or so becomea of noticeable length too much '
BO , In fact. The reason why this should
b& will , I think , bo apparent to the reader Jf
ho rifts his foot up and down when straight
underneath him and again when ho has
thrust It outward some dlstauco. The
further apart the feet are working the moro
noticeable becomes the knee action , and
hcnco the discomfort of the rider. It Is ,
however , well to remember the fact when
purchasing a now machine , nnd If Iho tread
of It Is narrower than the old mount It will
do no harm to have cranks of slightly
greater length than was formerly the case. "

WHISPERINGS OF THE WHEEL
On the coming Tuesday each member of
the Nebraska division League of American
Wheelmen will receive bv mall his annual
ballot for the election of division oincers for
the ensuing year. These ballots will ion-
tain the names of each candidate for the dif
ferent onices and members are expected to
put a cross In the blank space after the i
names of the men whom they deslro to seoi
elected and mail Uio ballot Immediately to
the present secretary-treasurer of the divis
ion. As the time of balloting draws nearer
there seems to lo moro Interest and enthus
iasm over this year's election than over any
other for years. The fact that there Is Is a
candidate on ono of the tickets who has prev
iously held the highest olllce In the division
and whose administration was most unsatis
factory seems > to bo creating considerable
Indignation among the members and bring
ing them up In arms against his re-election.
It Is hoped that Secretary-Treasurer Allen
of this division will see to It that every
wheelmen In the state who Is a member
of the league will receive a ballot entitling
him toote. . During previous years there
las been considerable ) complaint among the
members nbout ballots not being sent to nil ,
and this should tiot occur again.
Orlando Stevens of Ottumwa , la. , one of
: ho leading professional racing men of the
country , who has followed the national cir
cuits during the last few years , was a visitor
In tho' city last week. Mr. Stevens came
: iere from St. Louis , where the national cir
cuit of 1S9S closed , for the purpose of visiting
the exposition. Ho spent several days In this
city and a week In Council Bluffs In visiting
friends. ,
Cards announcing the marrlago on Thurs
day , October 20 , of Walllo H. Wright , a
well known St. Louis wheelman , who has a
wide acquaintance In this city among local
wheelmen , to Miss Marion Kills Wyeth of
Sharon , Mass. , were received by Mr.
Wright's friends hero the faro part of the
week and were followed by the appearance
of Wallle and his bride In the city on
Wednesday. They decided to make the
Transmlsslsalppl Exposition their honeymoon
trip , and remained In the city until Satur
day evening ,
Russell I" . Condon , who was , during
1S93 , considered Nebraska's fastest racing
man and who has slnco retired from the
came and settled down to business In
Chicago , was In Omalia last week visiting
the exposition and his parents. Ho says
that wheeling has been somewhat dead in
the Windy City during the last season , but
there is every indication that , providing the
country gets Into no moro wars , It will
be ns lively as ever before next year.
The persistent rumors of Michael's
predilection for horse racing seem at last
to have been given substantiation by the
announcement that be has just bccomo the
owner of Devisor , the 2-year-old colt
formerly owned by F. J. Kolly. The pur
chase was made at the Harlem track , on the
outskirts of Chicago , and Is the forerunner
of other purchases which will make the
middle distance cycle racing champion not
only a jockey , but the owner of a stable
of thoroughbreds which ho will ride him
self.
Earl W. Teabody has been Invited to rep
resent the Amateur Athletic Union In the
Paris games In 1900 , and now Zlmmy II Is
pleading for a cbanco to prove to the racing
board that ho is not a professional.
Tom Llnton arrived In Paris the second
week In October and Is credited with having
said In an Interview that while ho Is well
satisfied with his American trip , presumably
from a pecuniary standpoint , he Is not satis
fied with his races , especially the last
one with Michael , In which he says he was
out of form. The best American stayer Is
McDuffee , who bo thinks Is equal to'
Michael. Then como Taylor , Titus and
Harry Elkes. Ho attributes our American
records to the climate and moro rarefied
air In this country , to the better tracks and
superior pacing.

A short meeting of the club was held to
approve of resolutions memorial to Charles
1 > \ Ilelndorff formerly a member , drawn up j
by a committed composed of W. A. Uedlck.
J. J. Shea and Oeorgo Scrlbner. The reso
lutions bet forth that both socially and as a
whist player Mr. Belndortf has been one of
the most valued members of the club and
that In Ills loss each member was denrlvcd of
a friend and companion. His Importance to
the community and to fols profession was
spoken of and the sympathy of the club was
extended to those more Immediately con
cerned. '
Women players are steadily growing In' '
Importance In the whist .world. Thoj
Women's Whist Jeaguo now comprises sixty
clubs in eighteen states and the District of
Columbia. In the congress held by the
' American Whist league at Boston , Mass. ,
prizes were won by eighteen women.
Now that a happy medium known as the
common sense system has found general
favor In America it Is Interesting to note
that somothlng of the sort was advised In
a general way a good many years ago. The
following extract Is from Das Ratlonello
AVhlst , (1843) ( ) .
"Tho conduct of your hand should bo as
clear as possible to your partner , but toward
the adversary it may be equivocal and do-
ccptlvo. The former course should be usually
i
ually followed , especially ttbcn the chief dl- ! ,
ruction of the play lies with yourself or i
your partner. Tbo deceptive practice should .
only bo resorted to when the adversaries
have the command or when It Is obvious
that your partner Is thoroughly weak nnd
that your Information can be of no use to
him. In general , however , false Indications
which , of course , mislead your partner as i
well aa the adversaries should bo used very
fcparlngly. The most advantageous system
IB to approach as nearly as possible to the
ever-honest dummy who deceives nobody ,
but yet In the long run proves the best
player. " i
The first Important match of tha season
In Now York was played last week , when
| twenty-four mon representing the New York
State association successfully defended the
Brooklyn trophy against the challenge of the
'
New Jersey players , who were defeated by

You are right in using1 Wool Soap for woolens. All
O careful people must do that. But you are wrongin putting o
Wool Soap away until the next washing day. You lose
nine-tenths of its value.
It is impure ingredients that make other soaps shrink
o woolens. But these do more than shrink wool. Used on
fine goods of any kind , they eat the fabric. Used on the
skin , they roughen it and redden it.
o
Used on the face , they spoil the com
o
plexion.
o
Other makers of soap haven't our
secret. All soaps except Wool Soap
o
have some injurious ingredient-
enough to shrink wool ; enough to
harm the skin.
Whenever soap touches the skin , or
fine fabrics , or wool there's where
you need

There Is no we talking a baby In ihe home Is ( he link

fruitless wedlock. The prattling and cooing of the little one
offsets a thousand times the occasional worries and trials of life.
When a wife is barren , there is a derangement somewhere in the
genital organs , caused by out or more of those common disor
ders known as "female troubles" . Wine of Cardui Is the rem
edy. It pub the organs of generation In a strong and healthy
condition , fitting the wife for the sacred duty of reproducing her
kind. During the period of gestation the entire system of the
expectant mother is built up to witlutand the ordeal of labor ,
