The aaon of Indoor bicycle rnclns In the
art Is to be formally opened , December 3
with a six-day race In Madison Square
garden. The universal condemnation , which
a similar brutalizing race called forth last
eason has bad no effect on the promoters.
There was bl * money In last yi-ar's race
and the probability of like success this year
Is sufficient Incentive to Ignore criticism.
The League of American Wheelmen Racing
board announced last season that It would
not sanction any more six-day races , so
the ncheduled race In to be held , preium ?
ably , without the approval of the league.
There Is , however , a municipal penalty , but
that , too , is to be Ignored , < hc promoters
trusting to the laxity of a "wldo open town"
to overcome whatever objections the police
tnay raise. The 11st of six-day contestants
lias not been made public , but la ealil-to
contain the nameof hitherto "unknown
wonders" in speed and endurance. If
minor events Edouard Tayloro , the young
record holder , will appear In an hour's
paced cacc behind multicycles. Taylore
DOW claims the mile record of 1:33 : 2-5 , and
Elkes la undisputed holder of the hour
record , with a margin over thirty-four mile ; .
Both men are training even at this ca'ly
date. A number of exhibitions and short-
dlstanco T.-icea will supplement the long
race. For professionals , money prizes of a
total value of $300 will be offered , and one
event will be the Indoor mile championship.
A handicap race will be another professional
feature.
Without Jimmy Michael Indoor racing will
§ eem somewhat of a mockery to wheelmen
of New York , where the midget has been so
popular. Until within a few days ago It was
thought Michael could not be on hand , ami
would not be In condition. If he came , for
racing of any account. Michael , however ,
visited town last week , and seemed Inclined
'fe
clined to believe he > would be present In
the role of principal for several evenings at
least. He Intends leaving for a short visit
to his home In Wales , and thinks he will
return Dt to beat any comer. He had been
In Nashville , where ho started tbe nucleus
of & stable by acquiring a mount of alleged
epocd In the name of his trainer. Mlcharl
raid he was tired of cycling , and as be
always had a leaning for boraos , bo In
tended ultimately to humor himself. For
the present winter , however , he thought , bo
would do some cycling and add to his al
ready well-filled purno with further -win
nings. !
One of the "wonders" booked for the Mad-
lion Square race Is Frcil Schtnneer , an en-
Blnocr and a Chicago man. Sehlnneer Is
classed as "a comer. " largely on account of
Iiln ffcculler method of training. Instead
of employing the usual means ot increasing
wlcJ power and strengthening muscle , he
is diligently running up and down the stalra
of Chicago's skyscrapers. Climbing stairs
Is only a part of the dally routine , for he
runs backward for miles to strengthen cer
tain leg muscles. He works with the dumb
bells toe hours to strengthen his upper body
muscles. Ho runs forward as well and does
enough other athletic exercise to place the
average man bora de combat in short order
and he is fast getting fit. Williams and
* Neelry , two local trainers , will care for
htm in the contest and ho says that this
time ho will have good Instead of bad nd-
vlco , which , ho says. Injured his chances
before , as he was forced to sleep oftentimes
when he did not need It and thereby lost
many miles.
Newspapers will be more than ever pop-
tilar with riders from now until spring.
Especially the older riders , whether of liter-
ory proclivity or not , appreciate the value
of a dally paper placed between the outer
Bhlrt or sweater and the undergarment.
When riding against the wind a newspaper
BO placed births the chill breeze and keeps
It trim striking the chest better than a
pound or two of extra clothing would , and
It does not hamper action. One point that
a veteran furnishes that Is worth remem
bering by the cold weather riders who use
newspapers for protection to avoid swad
dling themselves Is that it Is wise to pay
attention to the back as well as the chest ,
and place a ploco of the day's news between
the shoulder blades. There are many little
things about dressing for winter rldlug to
t > o learned by those who are beginners at
It. A good felt hat of the slouch variety
Is bolter than a cap at this season. U will
nhed wind and fain and can be .pulled on
lo the head more tightly. Most cyclists who
ride the year around advocate full woolens
throughout , and have a special suit for the
winter months In which they do not chill
it they happen to got wet. The old-fash
ioned wristlets , that warm the blood where
the pulse la felt , do as much good to keep
the hands warm as gloves. U Is a good plan
In real cold weather , such as soon will be
at hand , not to use toe-clips too persist
ently , but change about and ride with the
other side of the pedals up , because the
pressure of thr clips interferes with circu
lation and the feet are apt to grow cold
and numb. An ordinary sweater that does
not lace up and has grown loose at tun
neck can be made snug and comfortable
toy the use of a light elastic band. One
strong enough to make the garment cet
closely to the neck and yet large enough
not to bo actually binding should be cm-
ployed.
A majority of the English bicycle makers
will adopt tbe system of marking net prices
in the catalogues' ' which they are about to
Issue. Some makers , when the crusade
against the maintenance of the system was
first begun , leaped at the opportunity af
forded. Others , more conservative , circular
ized their agents asking for opinions , and
by this nafe method were made aware of the
fact that the majority of tbe agents de
sired the reform , TLo campaign Is not yet
ended , but it Is aafe to say that the back
bone of the old aggravated and complicated
system has been broken and that before the In
active selling season begins net price cata
logues wilt bo universal. In
Something new In the way of treating
pokes , handlebars , nuts and other parts
that are now nickeled la being Introduced plo
in the west for the 1899 wheels. It la a
finish that looks like gold and tt is said
for it that ruit will not touch any metal his
with which It Is coated. A Qnleh of thli
description l one of the Improvements much
needed. When bicycles were first madeIn
this country , spokes were generally enam
elled In black. This was a method copied
from tbe English makers and there was
then no trouble with rusty spoke * . The
English manufacturers continue to enamel
their spoltes. but the tendency toward showIness -
Iness quickly led American producers into
the habit of finishing them with nickel
plate and the custom has become universal.
Nickel dresses a wheel , but the nlrkel Uulsh now
has been the cause of no small amount of
annoyance to riders , because on small parts , are
such as spokes and nuts , the nickel does not on
take hold strongly and rust accumulates
In spite of care. To abolish nickel plating
and substitute some kind of surfacing that
will actually prevent rusting will be a * tep on
in the proper direction and one likely to now
meet with approval on tbe part of riders.
Tip finest bicycle roail la tbo known world
Is Bald by a globe glrdler
to run from La-
here to Calcutta , India. It is 1.200 miles
long. It la level ; Indeed there Is not above
a mile the whole distance to waf t. The
material with which It Is made Is called
kunkcr and If you care to turn that word
I Into concrete you have an Idea of what H Is
like. It ! exceedingly hard and as smooth
as a prepared pavement. There Is no dust.
Nearly the whole of the way Is lined with
a double row of majestic tree. * The concrete
road runs like a tang white ribbon down
tbo center and along each side arc loose-soil
tracks , over which the native bullock carts
creak a slow two miles an hour.
WHISPERINGSJDFTHE WHEEL
Dr. F. C. 'Allen of Beatrice will be the
Nebraska division's chief consul for the
year 1S99. D. J. O'Brien will be vice consul
and will have charge bf the racing affairs
of the state , and J. W. Nevrlean of Omaha
will be secretary-treasurer , while Charles
K. Hart of Blooming-ton will be the divi
sion's representative. This was all decided
Friday afternoon last when the ballot was
canvasaed at Dave O'Brien's office In this
city. Whllo the result was entirely sntlsfac-
tory to local members of the organization ,
there were several surprises , the principal
one being the easy win of J. W. Newlcan
over n. K. Mllralno , the Lincoln candidate
for secretary-treasurer. It was expected that
Newlean would carry Omaha , but Mllmlue
was looked upon ns being able to almost
unanimously carry the balance of the state ,
which he filled to do. The newly elected
officers are all well known and capable busi
ness men and the affairs of the division
could not bo In belter hand * . The date of
the Installation of the new officers has not
as yet boon definitely decided upon , but will
In all probability occur early In December.
The new officers are already planning to
make an onslaught upon the coming state
legislature with Important bills for passage ,
among which are the bicycle baggage law
bill and ono making bicycle stealing a
felony. Letters have been written to the
dlffcjent local consuls throughout the atate
to bring the matter to the attenlon of the
state senators and representatives of their
reopectlvo districts and gain their support I
In advance. |
D. J. O'Brien will represent the Nebraska
division of the League of American Wheel
men at the assembly of the national body
at Providence , R. I. , the coming February ,
and it Is confidentially whispered around
that he Is slated for one of the national
offices during 1899.
Frank Ilefken , a well known local wheel
man and Omaha Wheel club member , left
yesterday for Chicago , where he goes to ac
cept a position as western traveling rep
resentative of the Ames & Fr st company
of Chicago. Frank Is a deservedly popular
young man In local blcyclo circles and Is
bound to win friends wherever he goes.
That ho will meet with good success selling
Imperials in this section Is foreordained.
The talk of building a new bicycle clnb
house has again been revived by the Omaha
Wheel club , ' this time with more energy
than ever , and it Is quite likely that next
summer will see this old and well known
organization In quarters second to no others

Include an unpaced scratch race ot 2,000
meters , tandem scratch race of 3,000 meters
and a paced race of 100 kilometers , In which
motor paring will not bo aftowed.
Last Saturday at Woodslde park , Phila
delphia , Major Taylor , the swift colored rider ,
proved that he can ride against the watch
as well as in competition by lowering five
world's records. The new figures are as
follows : Five-eighths mile , 67 3-5 ; one-
third mile , 29 ; one-half mile , 45 3-5 ; one
mile , 1.32 ; two miles , 3.13 2-5. Taylor la
still confident that ho can put the mile
figures down to 1.30 before the year ends
and will make a hard effort. Taylor , when
Interrogated at Woodsldo park concerning
the European trip which It has been re
ported bo will take next season , said : "Un-
less It be as champion of America I shall
never race on the other side. I realize now
that I abandoned all my championship pros
pects when I left the outlaw circuit just be
fore tbe Cape Gliardecu meet. But I couldn't
stand the treatment there ; however , there's
no use crying over spilled milk. When I
joined the outlaws it was In good faith and
with the firm belief that could I but win th
championship from such an aggregation ofl
first-raters no ono could question my title.
Had I remained with the League of American
Wheelmen and raced here and at Baltimore
and New Haven I would surely have gained
the , top of the ladder , but , just as every
body la now laughing at the notion ot Torn
Butler being the national champion , so they
would have laughed had I won the title of
against mediocre men and I couldn't stand
that. While I have a number ot claims on
the 1S9S championship , they do not make mej
the champion. With ono exception I have I
beaten every wblto racing man ottener that
he has beaten me and my percentage In the
championship and In general competition Is
bettor lhan that ot any other one man. "

CONFERENCE ON IN ST , PAUL
Terminal Company and Omaha Bead Try for
Compromise Again.
OUTCOME IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE FINAL
Local IloaO Hare Ranged Ttieoi'
elre * on One Side or the Other
and the Fight Will lie to
the Hitter End.
]
The scene of the controversy between the
Omaha Bridge and Terminal railway , which
wants to get a track Into the heart of the
I city , and the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis
J & Omaha , which wants to keep the terminal
* company out , was transferred yesterday
I from : Omaha to St. Paul. General Manager
| Webster of the terminal company left for
St. Paul on Friday evening , and will there
go over the entire situation with General
Manager W. A. Scott of the Omaha road.
Opinion in railroad circles differ regard
Ing the probable outcome of the St. Paul
conference. Some officials think that an
agreement between the rival companies win
bo reached and that there would be no
further trouble. But the great majority con
sider that more than the use of Fourteenth
street is Involved In the fight , and opine
that It will b a case of the survival of the
strongest , or , in the popular vernacular , a
fight to the finish.
The meeting of the city council In com
mittee of the whole on Monday , Is looked
forward to by all the railroad fraternity
as of the greatest Importance. At this
. meeting will probably be finally decided the
fate 1 ot the pending ordinance giving the
j Omaha , Bridge and Terminal company the
' right to extend its tracks down town. The
popular belief Is that the ordinance will
pass , but by a small majority.
Roads In the Fight.
As nearly as It Is possible to classify the
railroads , from expressions ot opinions from
their leading officials , it appears that the
ordinance is favored by these companies :
The Omaha Bridge and Terminal railway ,
the Burlington , the Chicago , Kock Island &
Pacific , the Chicago , Milwaukee & Su Paul
and the Kansas City , Plttsburg & Gulf.
With the exception of the first two none
ol these lines are taking any active hand
lrO tbe fight. The Burlington wants the
ordinance ! passed because it wants a con
nection with the terminal company's tracks.
mat Milwaukee and the Rock Island roads
attt present use the Union Pacific bridge , but
they figure that If another bridge across the
river were to be opened up to traffic they
could be much more Independent with the
Union Pacific , which now controls the local
freight situation absolutely and beyond ap
peal. At present If the Rock Island or the
Milwaukee road wants a car moved across |
the river it must wait until the Union Pacific
gets < good and ready to move the car , and
suggestions that quicker service might be
given by the Union Pacific are promptly and
effectually rebuffed with the answer : "If
elyi
you don't like : he way we handle your cars
yig
get < some other company to haul them across
the river. " This generally ends the argu
ment , since the Union Pacific now has the
only ! bridge that can be used. The Port
Arthur route Is anxious to see the ordinance
Ani
nance passed , as it expects to erect a big
freight house In the vicinity of Twelfth and
Davenport If the terminal company can get
down to n.
The companies that are commonly re
ported to be opposed to the pending ordinance
Pn
nance : are : The Chicago , SU Paul , Minne
apolis & Omaha , the Chicago & Northwest
ern , the Fremont , Ellthorn & Missouri Val
ley , or the entire Northwestern system , also
the Northwestern's closely connected line ,
the Union Pacific. Only the Northwestern
lines have shown their hands in opposition
to the entrance of the new company. The
Union Pacific has kept In the background ,
but every one in railroad circles knows that
It can work Just as well through the Omaha
road , or any other Northwestern line , and
that the Union Pacific does not want another
bridge across the Missouri river at this point
opened for general traffic purposes.
As one man familiar with the situation ex
pressed It yesterday : "This fight is not
over a small track on Fourteenth street.
Its a question of using ono bridge or two
bridges. It's a battle of the giants , and may
the best road win. "
Mayor Vetoes the Resolution.
Mayor Moores has vetoed tbo resolution
passed at the last council , which ordered the
Board , of PubHc Works to tear up a strip
of track laid on Fourteenth street by the
Chicago , Minneapolis , St. Paul & Omaha rail
road without permission from the city. Ho
took the action after going over the ground
In company with City Engineer Rose water , of
President Blngham of the city council and
Superintendent Jaynes of the road.
In explanation , he saya : "I have come to
the conclusion that under the present cir
cumstance * the track U doing no barm to
the Interests of the city and Is of great ben
efit to shippers. If the time comes that the
terminal company secures the right of way
along the street , I may do differently , but
at present there Is no need of tearing up
the track. I called Mr. Jaynes' attention to
the fact that he should have secured per
mission from the city to lay the tracks. He In
admitted that and agreed that there would
be no more trouble on that score hereafter. "
Under the circumstances , therefore , the
city will probably do nothing now until the
next meeting of the city council. At that
time City Attorney Conncll will have ready
hie opinion regarding the rlght-of the Union
Pacific and the Chicago , Mlnneaporis , St.
Paul & Omaha railroads to retain possession
a couple of twenty-foot strips of land that
Jut Into Fourteenth street on each sldo of
that road between Cumlng and Izard strceU

Union Ponlflc attaches are looking for
ward with some Interest to a reorganiza
tion of the offices of the company at San
Francisco. The matter Is up before Presi
dent Burt now. and an announcement of
come interest is expected within the coming
week. It Is credibly reported that the
freight and the passenger departments ,
which are now maintained separately , will

both departments appointed.
Although Thomas M. Schumacher resigned
general agent of the freight department

his successor has not yet been named. D.
W. Hitchcock , general agent of the pas
senger department at San Francisco , Is now

was sent for by President Burt personally , be
and it is known that the reorganization of bill
the San Francisco office Is under discussion.
For several weeks past there has been a Ing
persistent rumor in local railroad circles "II

general agent of the Northwestern here , and
now stationed at San Francisco , Is to have ie
charge of the business of both railroads

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEET
Conntr Clerk Haverly Assert * Hit
and Intention to Ap
point His Own Clerks.
When the Board of County Commissioners
met for Its usual Saturday session a small
bomb was flung Into It In the shape of a
communication from County Clerk Havcrly
asserting his right nnder the law to select
his own assistants. Mr. Haverly took thla
step as a precautionary ono In case Connolly
nelly should bo seated and the board become
democratic. The matter was placed on file. '
Referring to the fixing by the1 laws of
responsibility upon elective officers and the
necessity for competent help under his own
absolute appointment and control In order
to properly discharge his duty , the county
clerk went on to say In his letter :
While I recognlz-o the right of the Board
of V > iifity Commissioners to say bow mkci-
help : hcy will furnish an3 flx tb cowpt-n-
satlon thereof , to attempt to make any ap
pointments Is a trespass upon the rights and
prerogatives of the county clerk delegated
to him under the law. Upon my election I
secured the best legal opinion obtainable
that such was my right and prerogative ,
but I have not made any move for the rea
son that the assistant * u'oro competent and
satisfactory ; but now , after the election of
a new member of the board , and that some
changes are In contemplation , I horuby give
notice that I shall make every appointment
In the office of the county clerk of Douglas
county during my term of office , and to the
present force that they are held responsible
to me in their several positions. ,
After the meeting Commissioners KlcrI I
stead , Harte and Ostrom expressed themselves -
selves as believing the county clerk had
made a timely move In the right direction.
It would take the clerk's appointments out
of the politics of the board , said Mr. Kier-
stead. On the other hand Cpmmlssioner
Hector considered it a civil service dodge ,
anticipatory ot a democratic majority , and
he grinned knowingly.
Commissioner Hofeldt'a resolution offered
at the last meeting to allow the payment
to the Iowa Brick company the 10 per cent
reserve amounting to $1,367.24 of the total
estimates for the paving of the Dodge street
and Center street roads , provided the com
pany gave a guaranty bend of $1,500 , was |
adopted.
A balance of $276 left over out of the
11,000 appropriated to tbe county agricul
tural society for premiums was reported by
D. H. Christie and E. O. Solomon , the com
mittee of the society.
MATTERS IN FEDERAL COURT
.
Monger and Judge Carland of
South Dakota Will Sit on Jury
Case * Monday.
The first week of the October term of the
United States court , adjourned until Novem
ber , has ended and Judge Munger has re *
turned to his home at Fremont , where he
will remain until next Monday , when ho
will return and take up the trial of jury
cases , In which ho will be assisted by Judge
Carland of South Dakota , who will arrive
Sunday. During the last week little has
been accomplished , aside from hearing some ,
ex-parte matters and getting the grand Jury
to work.
Yesterday Judge Munger spent mest of his
time in chamber * working on the old case
of Herman R. Vandecar against the Etna
Life Insurance company , a case the begin
ning of which dates back some half a dozen
years , at which time the plaintiff carried
an accident policy with the defendant com
pany. At the tlmo in question Vandecar
was riding on the Republican Valley branch
the Union Pacific road'and In some man
ner , which has never been made quite
clear , fell from the train and one of the
wheels of a car passed over bis right arm ,
cutting off the hand. He had a number ot
accident policies and brought suit to re-
rover. In the case against the Etna he re
covered a Judgment for $10,000 and the
case went up on appeal. Later on there
won a compromise and the turn of } 2,50u
was paid Into courU At this point the at
torneys for Vandecar , H. and A. C. Wakeley ,
appeared and levied upon this sum of money
an effort to secure pay for their legal i Oj
services. ThlB tied the money np and hence '
$
the litigation that Is now In the courts.
Mrs. Nellie M. Richardson appeared before
Judge Munger and upon presenting her cer
tificate ot admission to the bar of Lancaster
county was given permission to appear In
on
the United States courts of this district.

Exercise Preference.
E. I * . Stone , who U especially Interested
JQ 'tho raovtment to tear the cobblestones
out of Farnam street and rcpnve the street
with asphalt , will on next Monday morning
atari the circulation of a petition among
Farnom street property owners asking tor
the Improvement. Such a petition Is now
the only thing required , for at Its last meet
ing the council passed the necessary ordl-
nance that will allow the work to be d < ne.
The street will bo divided Into two dis
tricts. One consists of that portion of Far
nam street between Eighteenth and Fit-
teenth. The other extends from Fifteenth
to Ninth. This plan was adopted because
some t the business men on the lower
part of the street who deairo the work to
ber done think that the business me * on the
upper portion of tbo street may think that
asphalt will be too slippery on the heavy
grade that runs between Fifteenth and
Eighteenth. Regarding the chances of
getting the required number of petitioners ,
Mr. Stone says : "I bare no Idea how tbe
property owners In general feel about tbe
matter , and I am somewhat doubtful abont
the result now that the council has ex
tended the proposed repavlng from Tenth
to Ninth street. We originally ended the
work at Tenth street , because we were
afraid _ that tbe owners who hold the vacant
property between Ninth and Tenth would
object to the Improvement. "

ton , jr. , B. M. Stonberg and D. T. Mount.
The association was originally confined to
Mlcsourl | , but it is proposed now to form a
transmlasisslppl organization , and possibly
national body. The objects have go no
beyond the simple consideration of what
good roads , better streets , Improved sewer
age and kindred matters can do and now
the body Is Intending to put some of
their theories Into realization. Good roads
and Internal improvements are to be en
grafted on party platforms as a means of
providing work for the idle classes. The

REMOVE CATTLE QUARANTINE
Dnnarcr from Tesn Fever Over ( or
the Present New Ileunla-
tlonii In Jnnnnrjr.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 10. The restriction !
Imposed by the operations of the federal
quarantine fine beyond which cattle * era
not allowed to be shipped north ceased oa
the IGth of tbo present month. Tbo estab
lishment of this line or border annually is
made necessary by the existence of Texas
fever infection among the cattle , but as ( hero
Is no danger of Its spreading In the north
in cold weather , tbe restrictions usually are
removed about this tlmo of tbe year. Now
regulations having the eamo object In vlow ,
however , eoon nlrl bo prepared by the Agri
cultural department officials and probably
will be put Into effect on the first of January.
In former years the department deferred the
Issuance of the regulations until March 1
and afterward until February 1 , but expo *
rlonce boa demonstrated the desirability ot
advancing the date to about the Drat of the
year. Cattle sent north after that time ,
agricuftural officials say , may carry con
tagion , which falling to mature during the
period of cold weather succeeding , will mani
fest lUtlf In the warm spring season , and
thus spread the ilLse.ise. Dr. Salmon , chief
of the Bureau of Animal Industry , says the
cattle Industry of the country is In a pros
perous condition , duo partly to a falling off
In euppry and to Increased exports.
