THE COURIER. MORE INTEREST IN THE CONTEST. The Coukieb cycle contest assumes a new phase this week. A new candi date appears in the work for the Lady's wheel and the other candidates have ad vanced somo in the number of votes. The Coukiek wishes to call special attention to the two wheels offered in its contest as compared with those offer ed by other newspapers in this .city. Low grade wheels of heavy weight are not up to date and will only prove ele phants on the hands of those who work for and win them. The wheelB offered by The Coukiek are the widely known and tested Victor and Syracuse bicycleb. Light in weight, elegant and substantial in construction, built by firms of well known integrity and whose wheels are sought after by racing men and others who know what good wheels are. The Coukiek wheels are worth all the effort it will cost any one to win them. Do not waste your time entering con tests for inferior wheels. There are six weeks yet in which some energetic lady or gentleman in this city can put in some effective effort and win a Victor '95 gentleman's wheel or a Syracuse "95 Lady's bicycle. The contest is growing warm, but there is yet time for considerable effort. The Victor wheel is on exhibition at P. G. Yule's store at 113 .North 13th street, and the Syracuse wheel can be seen in the window of the Lincoln Cycle Company at 208 So. 11th street. The Victor wheel is as every one knows built by the Overmar. wheel company and is among the best wheels in the market The Syracuse wheel the Lady's wheel is built by the Syracuse Cycle Co., of Syracuse, New York, and is also in the top grade of high grade wheels. Those who are working now or who may go to work for the wheels can do bo with the assurance that they are working for strictly high grade $100.00 wheels. Wheels that are all they are represented to be and that will give years of good substantial service without breaking down the person who rides their- The contest stood as follows last (Friday) night at 6 o'clock.

Baldwin of this city had been sued by the Daven port Savings bank was misleading in several respects. The amount sued for was only 88530 instead of 20,000 as stated. The suit was not against Mr. Baldwin personally, and is not his per sonal obligation, but against him and the Pitcher-Baldwin Co. in conjunction, the latter a real estate corpoiation of this city, of which Mr. Baldwin was a member, and was brought by the bank at the request of the company in order to effect a settlement of some old claims, without a long circuitous litigation. It is to be regretted that such, misleading items are allowed to creep in the col umns of the daily press when a little in vestigation would furnish the proper in formation. You can't be overcharged on "Shogo" flour. Its good at any price. I "Money. Saved is Money Earned." "The Best is always the Cheapest." Tnese two Proverbs do not conflict but are synonymous. They are condensed statements; meaning that the world's experience is that money is not saved by buying low priced goods. t "" Bicycling is in its infancy but has given us two phrases equally true and equally synonymous with the above. They are: iiffll TRUTH PROCLAIMED. E. R. GUTHRIE, Do you want a wheel to ride for an evening or or a half a day? Do you wantyour repair work done by mechan ical men who know a wheel throughout?
