Mnnufncturercs of standnrd wheel * arc
determined to restrict the operations of
hogui wlitel makers , knoun to the trade as
"assemblers " The collapse of a large num
ber of cheap wheel fnrtorlc- ! lends to confine
the ljuilncH8 of furnishing the necesnary
supplies to the "assemblers , ' BO that the
largo tnanufnrlurers arc In position to make
nn effective Pht against cheap wheel com-
pctlton.
The manufacturers call their competi
tors "assemblers ; " Ily that they mean that
the proilucorii of the low prlccxl wheels
assemble the various "parts nml
without actually Investing any cap-
Ital turn out a wheel that has
driven the standard machine to the wall In
the fierce competition during the season
now closing.
To make n. handsome profit on bicycles It
was only necessary for a man to equip a
small shop somewhere with a drill press , a
lathe and some other simple apparatus which
In the hands of skilled workmen would be
nufllclent lo perform Ihu work The tubing
would bo bought nt one point , the sprocket
wheels and chains , handle bar" , rims , tires
spoKes and other parts at different places ,
and then he Joined Into a finished wheel
The bicycles In most cases were good , solid
machines anil Blood the tesl against the
grade wheels.
A sclions consideration was that the bujcr
might not he able to secure a duplicate fern
n broken or damaged part , because the par
ticular "firm" that made Ills tnaelilno would
bo out of the business Some of the specu
lators * oiilj calculated upon making and dis
posing ot a certain number of bicycles , and
when that was done they retired on the
profits 'made.
Ihb oVfocl of such Irnfllc was ( o burden
buyers with "wheels lhat became white ele
phants , because the damaged partu could
not bo 'readily duplicated and because the
"assembling" was not performed with the
care "Hint la always taken by the standard
maiiufacluriTS The buyers of Luch wheels
have been compelled lo make continual re
pairs or throw their mounts away , and
many did that to escape the perpetual nn-
no } mi cos Incidental to breakdowns.
A compact was entered Into at a meet
ing In New York recently by which twelvi'
manufacturers of tubing agreed not to sell
to any but regular makers of blcjcles. It
the agreement Is ll\oil up to the assem
blers wilt bo obliged to go abroad for tubIng -
Ing , or go out of business.
So imny bicycler. " have been observed re

word of advice , which has been clven be

necessary , but be sure not to ha\o It wel
Knelt link should be thoroughly lubilcaled
and then the chain should bo rubbed dry
No amount of rubbing. It should bo re

parts between the links , where It Is needed ,
anil not a particle of oil Is required on the
exterior surface. The drier tint la the
better. The oil. If exposed , picks up and
holds dust , and adds greatly to the fric
tion. The same advice applies to all oiling
If so much h put In the bearings that some
overflows and Is not wiped ot [ dust will
gather at the spot , and , o\en In the best
made bearings , some of It will most oortalnl >
work Into the balls and make trouble. And
even If It does not get so far , the bunches
of dust so accumulated detracl from Iho
appcarnnco of an otherwise well groomed
machine , ar.d render the cleaning after a
run twice as illlllcult as It need be The
fact Is , that more wheels are ovcrollcd than
undcrolled "Carrjlng n canary , " SB the
ubeolmen call riding with a diy bearing
that screeches , Is not half so common as a
Oust burled bearing. Of course , ot the
two thu latlcr Is preferable , but no rider
need have either.
Further Improvement have been made In
the electric blcyclo lamps , which Indicate
that bv next year their use will be moro or
less common. So unsatisfactory are many
of the oil lamps that a cheap , effective and

The continuing nnd growing demand fo
bicycles has Its effect upon the hard woo
lumber Irado , says Ihe Lumberman U I
isllmntcd that Ihcre will bo produced I
American factories this year nearly SOO.OO
blcvcles Practically nil of these ar
equipped with wood rims Kach wood rln
requires Iwo and n half feel hoard measure
nnd allowing one-third for waste that woul
mean n consumption of 0,000,000 feet , nlmos
exclusively rock elm This is for the iltn
alone , to say nothing of the guards am
Inndlo bars , but pf the latter there Is an
other story. The consumption of 6,000,00
feet or thereabouts of rock elm does no
look very large In n business which is ac
cuslomed to deal with hundreds of million' '
but when It Is remembered thai onlv abou
15 per cent of hard maple Is available for
rim purposes , nnd that therefore 40.000,00
feet of one of the minor hard woods mils
bo handled over In order to obtain Ihls ma
tcrlal , the1 Importance of Iho blcyclo deman
In Hits special way will be recognized.
Wo spoke above of wooden handle bars
"that Is lo be the next thing In blocks
according to atithorlllcs on the subject
Wood , principally hickory , perhaps a llllle
ash , Is lo be used Inslead of sled lublng
not because of nny decrease In weight , as
'bat ' will remain about the same , but be
cause of the superior elasticity of the wood
making the w heels easier lo side mid less
fatiguing to the hands and aims Further
more , II will be an ndvantngo to , the maim
faclurcrs , as bent tubing Is n illlllcuH art I
do to manufacture , ' \-hereas hickory can
bo bent Into any desired shape ; and thei
again , the new bars v III bo cheaper Then
is no prospect of nny IPBS number of bicycles
being manufactured In the near future than
In Iho present or the past , anil pcrhap :
1,000,000 blc > cles next jcur may be placei
upon the market.
A considerable portion of them It Is said
perhaps the majorlly , will have handle-bars
made of second-growth hickory Thai Is
ouother thing for the hatdwood men to
take nolo of. Bui the consumption of lum
ber duo to the blcyclo trade does not stoj
with Ihls Tboro Is crating. What thai
isnounts to no one seems to know , but aboul
cvpiy blcyclo sooner or later la Inv ester

ment must mean a considerable Increase In

After ThN Vvnr.
This year will likely see the passing o
the shoe-string tire for road use , for , al
though nn army of new riders will domain
the smallest obtainable lire , Ihe aver.iK
\\hceltnan will prefer tires of n generou
sectional diameter savs Hearings. A Chicago
cage dealer who builds a few wheels eacl
season has several special machines on hit ,
floor which aru fitted with 2V4-lnch pneu
mattes and a trial ot ono of these- will con
vlnco the most skeptical advocate of smal
tlrus that there Is
moio comfort and mor
speed to be had on tough roads with tire
of this slzo than with ! ' < . or 1 % . On th
point of comfort there IB no chance for an
aicunipnt , but thp speed eiualltles of Hie bl
tire seem problematical until tesled.
Tast llmo has already been made In ccn
tury runs , and It was n noticeable fact tha
Iho ilderi finished nnd did not complain o
lhi > usual soreness felt by unseasoned men
taking a long and fast ride. Thu machine
In question are built wllh n clearance o
ono quarter of on Inch on cither sldo of th
tires , making the frortt forks , rear fork
and stays thref Inches wide Inside measure
mcnt , and while Iho appearance of Ihe ex
ccbslvcly wldo forks and large llrcs U no
altogether pleasing If Ihe diameter wai re
ducfd to , say two Inches , there would be
slight objection on the score ot looks.
The tread of n wheel with twentv-six-
Inch tires need not bo over five nnd a
half Inches , for allowing , one-fourth Inch
for tlio clearance , en-eighths for
slays and seve-n-sKlcenths for width of
LIanlcs , there Is still Icfl Ihree-elghths inches
to be- divided between the two cranks foi
clearance of the re > ar forks , and this does
not rail for flattened tubes , or D-shapci' '
stajs Iy ) the substitution of D-shapcd
btays for lound tubes the tread could bi
kept to flvo Inches , which Is nanow enough
for anything but track uso.
The comfoi t to bo derived from the m.c
of a tire of two Inches and upward ol
Hccllonal diameter amply lepays Iho rider
for lhe > slight loss of beauty the wheel suf
fers , nnd then ; Is n matcilnl saving to" the
mnchlnn In u season's rldlnc Spokes will

to

The folding bicycle is at present the topic
ol earnest study nnd experiment , especially
It military circles , says Ihp New York Her
Ital
ald. It Is praised enthuslasllcally Ihrough-
out ' Europe , Asia and Africa , l Is the order
of the day In the Russian army , and General
olO
eral ! Pllontzcnsky haa just written nn Inter
esting : treatise demonstrating Us multipli
city ! of applications To military service. Ho
goes so far as to assert that the Inestimable
value of the wheel In the army bids fair to
Impose a revision of the tactics.
The French mlnlsler of war , unwilling lo
allow other nations to outstrip France , has
ordered special bicycle drills at the next an
nual maneuvers General Billat has com
missioned Captain Gerard , the Inventor of
the folding blcyclo , lo form a company ol
lighting wheelmen. The resulls obtained
from the ilrsl experiments , made at the Joln-
vllle le Pont Military school , seem to point
to n successful Issue of the new war imple
ment.
A company of cyclists , headed by Captain
Gerard , were going through their maneu
vers a few days ago , and ono great advan
tage of the wheel was plainly perceptible In
the absolute silence. In which the company
advanced , an advantage which Is much more
apparent lo a tactician familiar with the
heavy rumbling tread of an approaching
company of cnvaliy. One of the principal
maneuvers practiced was bringing a com
pany of cyclists to a halt , and standing
ready to receive n furious onruah of cavalry.
The men fold the wheels and stand with
them between the knees , while they prepare
to give the oncoming enemy a warm wel
come. If the fusillade is not successful In
repelling Iho enemy , the horses stand a very
fair show of breaking their legs In the Intri
cate Iron wheels opposed to tholr pTJsress.
UOHTI3II THAN A HAVRHSACK.
It la also claimed that the folded blcyclo
Is not so cumbersome or heavy as the old-
fashioned haversack nnd much moro con-
vcnlenl lo curry. It does not Interfere with
the musket In any v ay , and afler a fair
Irlal the Infantry and cavaliy have pro
nounced In favor of it.
The cavalry , which is looked upon as the
eye and shield of the army , hns suffered
considerable from the recent perfecting of
modern war weapons Ono of their func-
llons was to plnco the onemv's position
Smokeless powder hns rendered this a very
dllllcult foal. Ilefore accomplishing their
mission they ran the risk of being seen
and reroivlng n fusillade without being able
determine from whence It came.
Captain Gerard's machine- , rapid , silent ,
not cumbersome , allows the cyclist to oa- .
plore ditches , woods , climb walls and rocks
without exposing him to unurcessary dan
ger. It Is noiseless , and therefore does
not betray Its presence , as would the rapid
sound of a galloping horso. The original
Idea of Its Inventor was that the machine
should be carried by the man when It could I
longer carry him.
The folding blcjclo assures security to the
cyclist and a much greater rate of speed.
There Is less danger of falling , because u
can bo stopped at once at the ) rdpr'4 | will ,
The position of the wheelman , seated on the
back wheel , Is according to all hygienic
laws and prevents the almost deformed po
sitions assumed by some riders.
The sudden , noiseless apparition of a com C
pany of wheelmen springing up llko men Im-
liued with some mysterious power from
dozens of different points Is likely to be
wilder the surprised enemy , nnd these ma
neuvers are much lean exhaustive to the
assailant than to the assailed.

Mr James 11 Dunn of the wheelman's de
partment of thp republican heidquartcrs ,
Ohlcngo. makes the following Intprpstlng
scmnrks on the relations ot the cycllsl to
the present campaign
"If thorp Is any dust of eltl/cns In this
country v.ho should nt this tlmo bury nil
feeling of ptrly prejudice and partisanship
nnd engage1 In this battle for Iho honesty
nnd Inte'crlty of our Institutions It Is the
wheelmen , who hnvo during seventeen years
shown their fighting qualities nnd slurdlly
maintained their rlghls and privileges under
Iho law Tincycllsl has been prominent In
local elections In many parls of the coun
try , whcro ho usually holds the balance of
power , but never before has he- taken n
dlsllnctlvo part In n national campaign
The fact tint Major McKlnley has fre
quently championed thp cause of wheel
men nnd cneloKcd their undertakings In
bohnlt of Iho Improvement ot the high
ways , besides malntnlnng close nlMllatlnn of
n persoinl character wllh their leaders has
enshrined htm In their hearts and caused n
spontaneous deals o to participate' In the
work of hM election
"McKlnlev has over stood the friend and
champion of the > cycllsls of America In his
Inaugural address , delivered Its January
1892. Governor MeKlnley gave piomlnent
utterance to thp great Importance of Iho Im
provement of highways , and his acllon had
Immense Influence upon the governors of
other stales , who , until then , had been fear
ful of Iho consequences of taking an nctlvo
stand upon this question
"Later on , In January , 1SD1 , In his annual
message to thn general assembly , Governor
McKlnley took a slop further and suggested
the creation of a state highway commission ,
which he later had the pleasure of appoint
ing. Its llrst icpoit attracted widespread
attention Ills co-operation nnd support In
forwarding the proposed legislation by congress -
gross for the appointment of a national high
way commission were always freely given
and were of transcendent Influence Governor -
ornor McKlnloy tendered a reccpllon lo the
members of the natloml assembly of the
League of American Whpelmen , In session
at Columbus , In 1S92. and \vns then nnd
Ihero decoraled with the badges and made
nn honoinry member of Iwo of Iho Chicago
cycling clubs
"It is not our policy to restrict our efforts
to the organlratlon of clubs , but to reach
the wheelmen , however few lu number nnd
however scattered , In every section of the
country , putting them Into the saddle as
missionaries of Iho 'gospel of ound money
nnd directing their energies Into such chan
nels ns masecuto the best results. We
nre gratified by the hearty nuppoit given
to this movement by the chairmen of thr
state nnd county committees and through
them we expect lo pul lo use Iho servlcea
of n million or more of loyal wheelmen In
Ihls campaign. A blcyclo club , well uni
formed or siionlled with flambeau torches ,
adds attracllvcne. s lo nny parade and such
clubs usually nre given Ihe post of honor
ns escorts to the officers of the day , but It
Is In ncllve partlcloatlon In Iho details
of campaign work thnt the wheelmen will
render most effective services
Absurd rumors have been given currency
in the newspapers ot Cincinnati and other
cities. Indicating that the national com
mittee , or Chairman Hannn , or Governoi
McKlnloy himself , is offering badges 01
blcyclo platca and even salaries , for the
work of organising thcso clubs , and dls-
Irlbutlng campaign llteialurcIt may be
staled Ibat no premium is sel upon the
service , ! of the wheelmen In this work ; and
It Is seldom that even a suggestion of n
dcslro for fee or rownrd Is received. Kvery-
where wheelmen are Known tor their gen
erous Impulses and enthusiasm. Never have
thcEO vis tuca been more conspicuous than In
the patriotic work of tills campaign. The en
rollment blanks sent from headquarters , aie
being r&celvcd back dally , filled with thp
names ot business men , mechanics and workingmen -
ingmen , and always wllh tome sentiment
oxpicsslvo of the enrnest desire for the now
club to Lo put to nctlvo use. Not n few
send greetings lo Major McKlnley , and In
all cases there Is earnest co-operation be
tween the wheelmen and the local com-
mlttc.es. That the wheelmen's clubs will
bo of great value to stale and counly com-
mlllecs Ihroughout tbo country Is already
apparent.
"AldPii Church , well known In Iho bicy
cling world , called upon Major McKlnley
recently , nnd secured an expression of his
sentiment upon the subject of good roads , In
which all wheelmen are deeply Interacted
This was McKlnley's staloment. 'You may
say lo the wheelmen that I am their friend ,
thnt I nm heartily In sympathy with them
and am deeply Interesled In the success of
their heroic crusade Icr good roads. ' "

The rain Friday evening prevented the
club from mnklng the scheduled run to
Trknmnh last Sunday. Had Ihe weather
remained nlco the atlendanco would have
undoublcdly been large , BD a number had
signified their Inlenllon of making a ccn-
lury.
At a meeting of oneof the wheel club
organisations last week the matter of elect
ing some prominent and Influential mem
ber was Biiggealcd as ono of the fifty di
rectors in Ihe Transmlsslsslppl Exposition
to bo selected December 1. The name
of F W. Fitch was given as ono who would
undoubtedly seivo Ihelr Interests to the en
llro Hallsfactlun of thosu Intel csled Mr.
Fitch has a largo circle of acaualiilancos
in tills clly , Loth In the law frutcrnlly as
well ns among Iho riders of the silent
HtecJ , and Iho suggestion might bo a
nrolltablo one to those holding slock In Ihln
enterprise to take up , fiom the fact that
the wheelmen of Omaha expect to obtain
the national snect of the League of Amer
ican Wheelmen In this cll > during the year
181)8 , and there should bo some ono to look
after the Inlerests of the thousands of
cycllsls lhat will probably assemble hero An
that tlmo , a
Mr Ud Porter of Chicago , a well known
centurlan nnd nll-around good wheelman ,
spent Sunday nnd Monday as the guest of
J. O'llrlcn , und Incidentally was enter to
tained by the Tourists nnd Omaha Wheel
club dm Ing his sojourn In this city.
The matter of larger quarters for Iho

Iho club members of late , and Iho subject
will probably bo brought up at the next
