Three children were born to this union, one of which died a few years ago. She leaves besides a husband, two young children aged about 5 nnd 8 yenrs, I a mother and five brothers and one 1 sister who reside in Missouri, a ! half-brother nnd half-sister —G. F. Stackhouse and Mrs. Arthur Trnssel —of near Rensselaer, and numerous friends. As The Democrat has remaaked on numerous occasions hereto- ! fore, something ought to be done ito put a stop to the promiscuous ; riding of bicycles upon the side- { walks of Renssolaer. We do not believe there is a town in the whole couutry where this is permitted to such an extent os in this city. Public opiuion is strongly against it but the city council has thus far failed to enact an ordinance against the practice and the privilege has been woefully abused. It is no uncommon thing to see some young boy or girl—and sometimes older persons—go scorching down the walks of a much traveled streot at a fifteen or twenty mile an hour gait, passing corners whore pedesj trians nre liable to turn unseen, J right into their path. Peop’e genI orally gave up one-half tho road gracefully to the bicycle, but to give up the sidewalks and take to going cross-lots to and from their business in asking too much. Pass a bicycle ordinance nnd inforce it ere some one is kilted or crippled for life by some careless scorcher
