A large crowd witnessed the perfor-;
nances. 4 4 Willie" performed several of
ths most diffiucult feats on his ma
chine, especially the one where he stood
bis wheel on two office stools. Alter
putting himself in different kinds of
positions while the. wheel stood still on
thaso two stools, he rode off the stools
to the. ground. On occount of some he
repeated the act.
4,Kube," the hayseed cyclist, well
instated the beginner, lifting his wheel
about the smooth places on the ground,
ftnd falling very often. They gave their
performances in front of uayvault's
store. To close the program "Hubs"
rode down the flight -ot stairs of the
Castor building, having come down at a
terrific speed, but landed safe in the
street. J
Mr.- Shields has the honor of having
ridden down the Capitol steps in Wash
ington. Both of these gentlemen seem
to be very ' courteous and accommodat
ing, and "Kube" is loaded with wit.
A Flost Rlncrular Occurrence.
Just eighteen years ago Mrs. D
B Morrison, of this place, lost her
engagement ring a heavy 18
karat, plain gold ring. On the
.8th of November last, while clean
ing the dirt away from near the
new well on their lot, Mr. Frank
(joodson - picked up this same
ring. It was as bright as ever.
This is a most singular occur
rence, not only because it was
found after being lost for eighteen
years, but on account of the fact
that tie 8th of November is the
anniversary of their marriage.
Theih was a happy day for
