With the Wheelmen.
Interesting News and Gossip.
The scene changes and the faces on
the National Circuit change with it.
New faces appear every day of racing
and prizes are won in a majority of in
stances by men who have followed the
regular trend of the circuit thro' gh the
land. Eastern men are good riders, and
with the amount of racing which they
find in a season, they have no inclina
tion to go far from home to battle for
honors on the National Circuit, unless
perchance they be ready to battle for
the top of the ladder or the top of the
tables complied on the circuit.
The most prominent of the riders that
came out of the East and took up the
circuitis, of course, Tommy Butler, the
Boston school boy, who joined the cir
cuit at Louisville with the very best
men. Butler, as has been said, is a mere
school boy and a pigmy beside the great
men of the path who have heretofore
held the attention of the people. Not only
does he compete against the big men,
but he trains harder, rides longer than
they in his working out, and does more
work right along. His constitution and
his physical ability is far out of propor
tion to the size of his body. It must be
to stand the work which he places for it
x to do every day of his racing. Tommy
s the surprise of the year in racing
circles.
The change in points and prize win
nings is very noticeable. Cooper by his
inactivity this week has yielded the
head of the table to Gardner, who takes
down $1,425 and 46 points to Cooper
SBBS and 42 points. With the fall of
Cooper from first place comes the fall of
Bald from third place. Zeigler, the in
defatigable worker j taking Bald’s place
with 38 points and $985 to Bald 37
points and $1,035. Then comes Tom
Butler, the Boston school boy with 30
points and $735 followed by McFarland,
Sawyer and Kimball in order.
An attachment has been devised
which enables you in a few minutes
to make a tandem from any two
bicycles, regardless of their make,
height or gear, and it can be reduced to
its original component parts with almost
epual celerity. The weight being equally
distributed upoa three wheels instead of
two, a high rate of speed with less out
put of effort is obtainable. It is a fine
hill climber, because it has two perfectly
independent drivers.
The apparatus which accomplishes so
much is simple in the extreme. The
lower part consists of a fork, with
springs to connect the rear axle of the
front bicycle with the bottom bracket of
the rear bicycle—the front wheel can, if
desired, be entirely removed from the
rear bicycle. The upper part of the con
nection consists of two tubes, which
telescope and connect the saddle post of
the front bicycle with the stem of the
handle bar of the rear bicycle. When a
lady’s wheel is used it should always be
placed in front. —Ex.

Diplomatic Complications May Arise.
Cleveland, Sept. 12.—1 t ; s not im
probable that diplomatic complications
will arise between the United States
and Great Britain over the maintenance
in the great lakes of the revenue cutter
Walter Q Gresham, which was launched
here Saturday. British naval experts
hold that after a careful examination of
the plans of the vessel she should be
classed as a warship rather than as a
revenue cutter, and that her mainten
ance on the lakes will be in violation of
the treaty entered into between the
United States and Great Britain,
whereby only one war vessel can be
maintained on the lakes by each gov
ernment.
Louisville’s Mayor and Aldermen Fined.
Louisville, Sept. 12. Judge Toney,

the members of the board of : aldermen
each sls for contempt of court in - im
peaching the board of safety after an
injunction restraining them from such
action had been issued. Judge Toney
read them a lengthy lecture and ex
plained that he had imposed only small
fines for the reason that the board of
aidermen had expunged the impeach
ment proceedings from the record and
had submitted a written apology to the
court.

FOR THE FALL TRADE
Mr. Ike May Has Returned From
Eastern Markets.
HEW GOODS ARE ARRIVING DAILY
To Make Room For This Mammoth Stock
Bargains in Summer G'»ods Can Be
Had Frcm J. Kuttner.
Mr. Ike May, the genial and compe
tent buyer for the large dry goods
house of J. Kuttner, has just returned
from New York and other Eastern
markets where he has been for a
month or so laying in the fall stock
for his house.
Mr. May is one of the most compe
tent buyers in the state and is always
on the lookout for bargains. The
house of Mr. J. Kuttner has already
established a reputation in Rome and
the surrounding counties for offering
bargains in every line. The name J.
Kuttner is synonomous with bargains
and when a purchase is made, there it
is always a well known fact that the
party has received full value for his
money. He is satisfied with making
only a small margin on every article
so that he has established a large and
growing trade. His customers know
that they are purchasing goods of the
best quality and know they are get
ting them at the lowest prices.
As usual, Mr. May has picked up
some wonderful bargains in fal) goods
and they will soon be opened for in
spection and their friends and the
public generally are cordially invited
to call.
“I have some great bargains,” said
Mr. May yesretday, “in everything in
our line. I know the people of this
section and know their wants and I
am sure that the goods 1 have pur
chased will give satisfaction in every
way. lam sure that our patrons will
be well pleased with the stock I have
selected.
“Everything I bought was new and
seasonable and every piece of goods
bears fashion’s genteel stamp of exclu
siveness to charm. Our customers
will find the quality at the highest
notch and the pricey at the lowest
notch. Our past record will be sur
passed in every respect and we are
making arrangements for a big fall
trade. We know we have the goods
that will please.
‘ ‘Our fall stock of goods is arriving
daily and wo need shelf and counter
room to show them to get rid of the
small amount of summer goods which
are remaining we will offer them at
the lowest prices ever heard of. These
low prices will prevail next week.
“We have about 5,000 yards of short
lengths, consisting of washable goods,
from every department, some worth
as much as twenty-five cents per yard.
We are going to let all these go next
week at five cents per yard regardless
of their real value.
, “We have some big bargains in
every line and we must dispose of
them at some price in order to make
room. We want to make our fall
business the biggest ever heard of in
the history of Rome and we will spare
no efforts to please the trade.”
Mr. May took his own time, while
in the market selecting his goods and
did wonders with the spot cash, and
those who know him and those who
will see their mammoth fall stock
are sure to admit that his work in
that line was that of an artist.
It will pay you to call and examine
the stock of goods in J. Kuttner’s
store before making your fall pur
chases. He can interest you in any
line and is better prepared than ever
to supply the wants of his patrons.
His fall stock is sure to be one of the
finest ever brought to Rome and an
inspection will certainly be entertain
ing for any one.

The Cheapest, Purest and Best Family
Medicine in the World!
For DYSPEPSIA, CONSTIPATION, Jaun
dice, Biliousattacktf, SICK. HEADACHE, Colic,
Depression of Spirits, SOUR STOMACH,
Heartburn, etc. This unrivalled remedy is
warranted not to contain a single particle of
Mercury, or any mineral substance, but is
PURELY VEGETABLE,
containing those Southern Roots and Herbs
which an all-wise Providence has placed in
countries where Liver Diseases most prevail.
It will cure all Diseases caused by Derange
ment of the Liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a
bitter or bad taste in the mouth; Pain in the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu
matism; Sour Stomach; Loss of Appetite;
Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headache:
Loss of Memory, with a painftfl sensation of
having failed to do something which ought to
have been done; Debility; Low Spirits, a thick
yellow appearance of the Skin and Eyes, a dry
Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend
the disease, at others very few; but the LIVER
is generally the seat of the'disease, and if not
Regulated in time, great suffering, wretched
ness and DEATH will ensue.
The following highly esteemed persons attest
to the virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator:
Gen. W. S. Holt, Pres. Ga. S. W. R. R. Co.; Rev
I. R. Felder. Perry, Ga.; Col. E. K. Sparks, Al
bany, Ga.; C. Masterson, Esq.. Sheriff Bibb Co.,
Ga.; Hon. Alexander 11. Stephens.
“We have tested its virtues, personally, and
know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and
Throbbing Headache it is the best medicine the
world ever saw. We tried forty other remedies
before Simmons Liver Regulator, but none gave
us more than temporary relief; but the Regu
lator not only relieved, but cured us.”—ED.

The Working Man’s Friend.
We are prepared to show to the public now one of the
most complete and nobbiest lines of
Dry Goods, Dress Goods,
Notions, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Caps and Clothing.
Ever shown by any merchant in Rome or North Georgia.
We have visited all of the Northern and Eastern markets
and have bought, beyond any doubt, one of the best lines
of goods for the money ever shipped from any factory.
We have a complete line of nice Dress Goods which we
can save you 20 per cent over anything ever before offered
in Rome.
Our line of Notions is full up in every capacity. If
you want anything in this line we guarantee we can save
big money by examing our line.
SHOES! SHOES!
THIS IS ONE OF OUR SPECIALTIES.
If we can’t save you 20 per cent on your shoes we will
not ask you to buy. We have a few leaders in the best
working man’s shoe on earth for SI.OO, and ladies’ dongolas
and glove grain for 80c, 90c and Si 00, button and lace.
The goods we guarantee can’t be beat.
Gents’ Furnishing Goods!
We do profess to know what we are talking about when
we say we keep the only line of up to date gents’ furnish- *
ing goods in this city. Call and examine and you will be
convinced.
Here comes our stronghold—that is
Clothing-Yes, Clothing!
FOR MEN, YOUTHS AND BOYS.
1 his line we we will guarantee none in Rome to equal,
and we cannot be undersold by anyone. We start our
men’s suits at $2.50 per suit and then we can gi/e you a
suit at any price with a 50c. raise till we get you up to
sls 00. Just think, tuits at $2 50, $3, $3.50, $4, $4.50,
$5.00, and so on. Boys’ suits from 60c. to $6, both long
and knee pants, go just the same as men’s.
Here is the Reason •
We can sell goods cheaper than any house in Rome :
We carry a bran new line all the time. We don’t carry *
any old goods, for goods do not have time to get old with
us. No bankrupt stock ever comes in our store, and for
this reason we keep full up with new goods. Now here is
the key note. We sell everything that is to be sold In the
civilized world, and for this reason we don’t have to make
it all on any one'thing. When you buy from merchants
that only carry certain lines they are compelled to ask
you a larger profit than we are, simply because they have
to make a living out of one thing, whure we can depend
on ten thousand and one things out of which to get our
prefit. Look into this matter and see if we are not correct
