Mcuilirm of the l.cmlInK Wheel Claim
"U'niit .Some ChniiRCK Miule.
The bicycle ordinance Introduced at the
mooting of the city council Monday night
has been the subject of much discussion
among the wheel riders of the city and es
pecially among the members of the Gany-
mode and Owl Wheel clubs. The club mem
bers are not expected to oppose the passage
of an ordinance , out are divided in opinion
as to Its provisions. It had teen reported
that the Ganymede club was the father of
the lamp provision In the ordinance , but
this is not the case. The ordinance was
drawn up and presented at the suggestion
of Major Jennings , a number of complaints
as to reckless riding on the business streets ,
especially after dark , having reached him.
It is likely that at the next meeting of the
council the two leading wheel clubs o/ the
city , the Owl and the Ganymede , will submit
a number of suggestions which they desire
Incorporated In the bicycle ordinance If one
Is passed.
They will ask that there bo n provision
that In the sprinkling of the streets of the
city a three-foot dry strip be left next the
curb on each side of the street. Wheelmen
claim that a large number of people > ride
bicycles in going to and from their places
of business < ind that at present the streets
are so sprinkled as to make riding a hazard
ous matter by reason of their slippery condi
tion. They further claim that the > mud
fouls their wheels In such a way as to Im
pede their movements. They will also ask
that a provision in the ordinance be In
cluded to require all vehicles to keep to the
right side of the street , especially on paved
streets. The practice of riding and driving
on the left side of the street has , they
claim , been the cause of a number of se
rious accidents In this city. People who
willfully or Ignorantly disregard this custom
should , they say , bo summarily dealt with.
The provision In the ordinance as intro
duced last Monday In regard to the placing of
glass , tacks , etc. , on the streets should , they
say , also include nrbblsh of every char
acter , especially wire , bricks , sticks , stones ,
peelings of fruit and any and all other ar
ticles of like character. The reasons for
this , they say , are self-evident.
The speed limit , which for bicycle riders
Is fixed nt ten miles In the ordinance , they
will recommend bo made to apply to all
vehicles. This speed , they say , Is slow
enough to effectually prohibit "scorching"
and ii not so fast but that a wheelman can
liovo his machine under perfect control at
all times.
Another suggestion they will make Is that
the leaving of drays , trucks , wagons , etc. ,
on the street , except when In use , should
bo prohibited , also the stopping of vehicles ,
on the street In such a way as to Impede
the passage of vehicles. They will make
no suggestions as to the provision requiring
the cairylng of lamps at night by wheel
riders , as the general understanding Is that
mich * a provision IB In the Interest of the
public generally.

Another suit arising out of the real citato
operations of John W. Paul In this city was
begun In the district court yesterday. The
plaintiff "is the Interstate Commercial com
pany of Chicago against n. W. Nosh. The
suit Is an attempt to hold Nash liable for n
Judgment secured In 1896 by A. C. Schroeder
against the Union Land and Improvement
company.
The petition sots forth that Nash was one
of the corporators with John W. Paul , W.
J. Paul , n L Magnus and George J Paul of
the Union Land and Improvement company ,
which wan Incorporated In 1801 under the
laws of Iowa. It Is alleged that Nash sub
scribed for and took $100.000 of stock , but
only paid In $30,000. and the plaintiff now
claims that Nash Is liable for the remaining
$70.000. The Judgment obtained by Schroeder
against Paul and the Union Land and Im
provement company , amounting to $18,913 ,
It IB alleged , was assigned to the Interstate
Commercial company , which now nska the
court to hold Nash responsible for. The
court l < asked to order that nil Nosh's prop
erty In this city toe made llitblo for this Judg
ment and nn attachment for $1,666 66 Is also
asked. This Is the first tlmo that the Inter
state Commercial company has figured In any
of the litigation arising out of John W.
Paul's transactions In this city.

The tension of tlio situation at Storm Lake ,
where the Minneapolis & St. Louis nnil the
Milwaukee roads bnvo been engaged In a
struggle lor right-of-way , has been con-
slilcrnbly relieved ami the Minneapolis &
St. Louis Is now In possession of the
grounds.
Monday morning Judge Cook of Cedar
Rapids nud n. M. Wright of Port Dodge ,
attorneys for the Milwaukee and Minneap
olis & St. Lrf > uls roads respectively , went
out to Storm Lake to take personal super
vision of the situation. They found that
the feeling between the workmen of the re
spective roads was very Ugh anil that a riot
was Imminent. So as to avoid any possible
danger of bloodshed the representatives ot
the two roads signed an agreement which
takes the settlement of the matter out & ?
the hands of the workmen and places It in
the courts.
According to the terms of the agreement
It Is stipulated that the Milwaukee- will
! withdraw Its men and will not Intcrfcro
I with the Minneapolis & St. Louis In the
building of Its track and the Minneapolis
I & St. Louis will go ahead and put four
tracks over the disputed right-of-way. Doth
sides agree -that neither side will lese any
alleged rights by signing the stipulation
and that when the matter comes Into the
courts for settlement they will be exactly
where they wcro before the last part of the
etrugglo commenced.
The Milwaukee mon who wcro In posses
sion of the tracks were withdrawn and the
Minneapolis & St. Lotils has commenced
laving Us tracks without having been de
layed to any appreciable extent. The flght
Is ono of the bitterest on record and will
without doubt bo eventually settled In the
supreme court. The dispute at the same
place between the Milwaukee and the Illi
nois Central has been settled by the Mll-
waukoo running under the Central.

BOONH , la. , July 26. ( Special. ) The
town of Fraser. In this county , Is likely to
bo the scene of a bloody race war between
whlto and colored miners. The white min
ers formed a miners' union a short time
ago , when every man who Joined the organ
ization was discharged and several hundred
negroes were ehlpped In to take their places.
Since their advent two murders have been
committed at Fraser , but luckily both men
killed were colored and no outbreak was the
result.
Last Friday el\ty families of colored
minors were shipped hero and the excitement
was renewed as tbo men 'wero from Pana ,
111. , and Kentucky , and proved to be more
agsreselvo than thoeo who came first. Al
though tie whlte , miners have made no
threats and have1 been peaceable , the opera
tors have aimed the negroes with Winches
ters nnd they have been practicing rifle
shooting and for two days have been. drillIng -
Ing in the public park.
A delegation of Fraser citizens waited on
the sheriff and county attorney today and
asked protection or the right to protect
themselves. One overt act on the part of
the negroes will precipitate a bloody battle ,
and it may come at any time.

ot his homo In Mluourl , last spring.
To stand quietly for even ten seconds nnd
watch the rapid approach of Inevitable
doom , to look utterly helpless Into the fnco
ot a devouring monster , nnd speculate on
the chances of being swept Into eternity , 's
enough to turn whlto the hair of } outh.
Old soldiers veterans ot two wars and the
heroes of scores of battles assert that they
would rather storm a well-defended fort , or
lead a forlorn hope , than meet ono of those
monsters of the air Inaccurately spoken of
in the United States ns "cyclones "
It was my good or 111 fortune to be an
rye-witness of one of the devastating torna
does that often sweep American soil.
'About ' 6 30 on the afternoon of April 27 ,
1899 , I left my house In Klrksvlllc , Mo. , to
post some letters. The day had been rather
remarkable , alternating ( between suffocating
heat and the chilliness of early spring.
Dense black clouds occasionally rolled across
the saffron sky , nnd ahowers ot rain alter
nated with bursts of sunshine , while the
winds had been capricious , nt times blowIng -
Ing In gusts nnd gales , to be followed by a
dead calm * It needed no biromctor to In
dicate nn Impending atmospheric disturb
ance , for everyone could feel It.
At the tlmo 1 started from my house a
gentle shower was falling , nnd I took my
umbrella with me As I stepped from the
the west door of the vo-nndn , a continuous
roarln" off to the southwest burst upon my
earn and , my house being on high ground , I
had an excellent view In that direction ,
In the southwest , nt the extreme limit of
my vision , hung n lowering dark cloud , from
which occasional peals of thunder Issued
Just below the cloud , seeming to rest upon
the earth , was a whirling monster of vapor ,
dust nnd smoke , coming apparently toward
me with an Incessant and steadily Increasing
roar. The first appearance was that of a
huge locomotive emitting bla-k smoke nnd
steam and coming nt n tremendous speed.
The tornado seemed suddenly to tear Itself
loose from the black storm cloud and to nd-
vance nt an Increased speed , rotitl'ig from
right to left.
At the same moment I discovered that
the course of the tornado was changed , and
that It was sweeping In a northeasterly
direction through what Is known as Flblo's
addition to the city. * * I ran east In
the direction of the tornado. It had now-
grown to such gigantic proportions that It
seemed to extend from the zenith to the
farthest limit of the eastern horizon. When
It struck the densely populated part of the
city , the continual crashing nnd tearing of
houses was added to that Incessant rum
bling and roaring , making nn awful sound
which swelled in volume until the earth
trembled toeneath our feet. The air was
filled with llylng debris. Doors , shutters ,
roofs , and even "whole houses were sent
soaring and whirling to a hc'lght of 300 or100
feet. I saw the wheel of a wagon or car
riage and the bodies of two persons flying
up Into the storm-cloud. One house ivas
lifted upward to a height of ever 100 feet ,
when It seemed to explode Into a thousand
fragments , which went soaring , whirling ,
and mingling with the other debris. *
On It swept in its unswerving northeast
course , a great black monster obscuring the
eastern sky ; a raging , baleful thing ; a
hateful , devouring devil , tearing up houses
to their foundation-stones , roaring , rumbling ,
crashing , thundering In Its awful rage , and
vet the most terrlfvlncr snectncln man
gazed upon , until it swept out of sight ,
leaving a path of smoking ruins in Its
wake.
An old man was found dead on the wreck ,
clutching his pocketbook , In which were
$900. His wife , -who lay dead at his side ,
had $2,500 sewed up in the skirt of her
dress. A woman was found dead , holding in
her arms her dead child. Another was
found dead , holding In her arms an unin
jured Infant ; and when the men who found
these removed the boards and timbers cover
ing them , the * babe looked up and smiled as
it grateful to its deliverers.

"I take a drink when I feel like It , " eaid
a Canal street business man to a New Or
leans Times-Democrat reporter , "and can't '
hco that It has ever done me any harm ,
but I witnessed a little episode this morning
that has haunted me ever since and lias
forced mo to do a whole lot of thinking. I
had stepped Into a bar early to get a cock
tail and while it 'was being compounded a
middle-aged gentleman came and asked ono
of the attendants to pour him out a little
plain whisky. He was carefully dressed and
had all the marks of refinement and good
breeding and his request was so unusual
that I turned Involuntarily to look at him.
The bartender exhibited no surprise and
placed half a small glassful of whisky at
his elbow , but the Instant ho stretched out
his hand I saw that the man was on the
verge of nervous collapse. Ho shook like an
aspen leaf and when he finally managed to
seize the tumbler Us contents flew In every
direction. _ "Let me assist you , colonel , "
said the bartender quietly and , pouring out
another drink , ho leaned over and h&id It to
his llos. The man said nothing , but gave
him n haggard look that went Into my heart
like a knife. My God ! what a look ! Shame ,
humiliation and abject animal terror. It
started the , sweat on me like water. Well , he
drank bis whisky , stood still for a minute
as If gathering himself together nnd Haun-
tored out as , cool as ever
"I asked the 'bartender ' If he had many
such customers and he laughed. 'Lots of
' ' said. 'There Isn't first-class bar
'cm , ho . a -
In town , ' he went on , 'that don't patch up
a few old boys like that almost every morn
ing. They're not drunkards , but they've
been nt it BO many years that their nerves
are gone , and , although they don't know It ,
they are working on absolutely nothing but
whisky. As soon as they get a little fresh
fuel In the morning thay are all right , but
they come In scared and out of their wits
and thinking they are going to drop dead
every minute. I'll bet that gentleman you
saw can sign his name without a quiver ' I
walked out reflecting. It was a weird sight ,
gentlemen , and I don't want to wltnces It
again , Suppose wo go down and have some
thing ? "

The drug store people say the drinking ot
callsaya Is responsible for Incalculable mis
ery In this town , sn s a. New York letter
Not long ago n policeman , who drank so
much of the stuff ho couldn't tell n burglar
from a bottle of mucilage , loaded up for one
grand , sweet nong of finality. Ho continued
an unwonted quantity of the stuff and ho
and his family were burled two da.vs later
Sixth nveiuic talked for days of the man
possessed of the little red devil , the man
who had suddenly appeared at his home ,
shot his wife and thrco children nnd then
received the leaden release himself
Callsaya mnkee Its subjects want to RO out
and Ulndlo the flro with the bric-a-brac A
gentleman who makes a practice of drinking
largo quantities of the stuff becomes pos
sessed of an overwhelming dcslto to scalp
his favorite ton and walk across to Gov
ernor's Island on bis hands. Ho feels llko
biting his initials In the door knobs nnd
Ijnchlng his best friend
The druggists say they can't stop the
thing. They have callsaya for sale nt the
soda fountains and if anono with a dime
wants a drink , why ho gets It , that's all.
While they do not exactly defend the character -
actor of callsaja , they urge In palliation that
there are lots of other drugs In general , but
not quite so general1 , use as callsaya , whoso
victims are affected as unmistakably as nro
the slaves of the llttlo red devil. Tor In
stance , they say , there Is the cologne habit.
Women drink cologne today just as men
drink whisky. They have the stuff put up In
dainty little flasks , with monograms , golden
chains nnd all that. Far from djlug a nat
ural death , the use of cologne as n beverage
Is extending , according to the testimony of
the druggists. Still , It Is dlfllcuri to figure
where this excuses callsaja.
