HOW THE CONTEST STANDS
There is but little change in the con
test for The Courier wheels this week;
Some of the candidates hare with
drawn their natuet. and requested The
Courier to say to those who cast votes
for them that they do not wish any
more rotes cast for them. Miss Eflie
Steen and Miss Clara Carmody hare
written The Cockier withdrawing their
names and asking that the rotes cast
for them bo thrown to Miss Stella
Kirker. But Miss Kirkcr has also with
drawn and rotes consequently will not
be counted by The Courier for any
one unless otherwise instructed.
In the gentleman's list Mr. Fred
Yule withdraws since he does not wish
to be a candidate for the wheel for
which he is local agent.
The Courier is in possession of infor
mation which goes to show that the list
following does not by any meanB show
the status of the contest. There are
others" who are working very quietly,
but who have not as yet turned in a list.
When these come in it will doubtless
change the aspect somewhat. The
weather has been hot and oppressive,
hence so little change in the vote the
past week.

Those who are quietly working for
The Courier wheels can turn in the

their names or the number of votes cast

This, all because we know of several
who are quietly at work on the contest.

These two Proverbs do not conflict but are synonymous.
They are condensed statements; meaning that the world's
experience is that money is not 6aved by buying low priced
goods.
Bicycling is in its infancy but has given ub two phrases

L. J. Oilier, of the Sterling Cycle
Co., was in the city last week visiting
the Lincoln Cycle Company. In answer
to the inquiry", "Will high grade wheals
be any lower in price next year?' Mr.
Oilier very positively answered, "No,
Sir! High grade wheels will not cost
one cent less next year than this. Mater
ial has gone up in every part of the
wheel, wages are being advanced all
over the country, and everything points
to the wheel costing more to build next
year than this. Under these circum
stances high grade wheels will cost 8100

"May a woman who is not a prude,
who is big and broad and progressive
from the ground up rather than from
the top down, pipe her feeble protest
against bloomers? I have tried to keep
quiet, but just let me say quietly, at
the very end of my musings, if bloomers
have come to stay I want to die! I
don't want to wait long enough to see
anyone I care for so bedecked, but 1
want to die quick and sure like a fly
beneath the tap of a folded paper or a
soldier in front of a bullett Then take
me. out and bury me so far away from a
turnpike or a boulevard that not even
the shadow of a female bicyclist shall
flit by the nook where I rest, lest my
poor dust awake beneath the torment
like a fallen lion at the touch of a bee's
sting." "Amber" in Chicago Times
Herald.
Gosh! it's terrible to let a fellow crea
ture suffer and moan in that manner.
Can't some of you "big, broad, pro
gressive" and philanthropic Chicago
wheelwomen assist that woman to a
realization of her heart's desire and put
ber out of the way before the dreaded
calamity overtakes her?
