Money sent by its order system is the very safest, most convenient and the cheapest means of transportation. Every cent that is paid for stamps, or for fees is that much of the nation’s taxes paid. It is the duty of all good citizens to patronize the postoffice in every way possible. The following are the rates; Orders not exceeding 82.50 3c. Orders not exceeding $5.00 sc.

SEVERAL OLD SOLDIERS SHOT

In Rensselaer Between the Livery Stable and Bridge. All will recover. They were shot with improved Sharp’s rifle, a brass piece of short range; no friction primer used,simply press a button and Old Sol does the rest, causing your shadow to ricochet and come back like a boomerang. Comrade Charley Platt hadn't time to wink. Those that were hit say they did’nt feel the charge at all. They probably will later on. We have a good start, why not hurry it along and come in as soon as you conveniently can while the powder is dry and before we go in winter quarters. I will make you good, first-class pictures in good frame, but each one must help a little by spending about four minutes in my room. Don’t be afraid my room is too small. I took Sam Pass’ picture—brought him in endways. Now please come right along. No money wanted until your picture is hanging in your lodge room. Respectfully. J. A. Sharp, Owner, manager, leader, treasurer and general assistant of the One-Horse Gallery.

The Kilkenny Cats.

Neither one of the old parties have been able to hold a convention in any.state this year that was harmonious. On the contrary, platforms have only been adopted by the worst kind of bulldozing tactics, often coming to blows. They have not only disagreed about platforms, but everything else as well. In Kentucky and in lowa the official pap suckers, by the severest bulldozing schemes and gag rules, managed to force a goldbug platform through, while in Kansas where the republicans last year promised all things to everybody. and by that means succeeded in fooling enough people to elect their ticket, can not, or rather will not, fulfill any of

their promises, are now in such a condition that they, them selves, admit that they dare not hold a convention, well knowing that their partv will be completely rent asunder with bickerings and discords. The state central committee has been called to meet at Topeka this week to see if they cannot find a way out of their troubles. If these old, rotten, corrupt parties are thus badly torn up now in an off year, what will they do next year when the big campaign comes on?— Tipton Union Dispatch.

The Proper Time.

The National Watchman advocates the holding of the next people’s party convention as early as February. The example was set and the Fourth of July, 1892, furnished the first candidate for the party and plenty of time w r as had for a glorious and profitable campaign. The same thing will be true of the campaign of 1896. The Fourth of July. 1»96, in some western city, will be the “proper caper.’’ There will be nothing gained by an early convention.—Logansport Advance. “Aye. So say we all of us."

Where We Are Drifting.

Gradually the goldbug policy is getting in its work. In Indiana it has not been an uncommon thing this year to see farmers’ wives riding corn plows and mowers and loads of hay and wheat.—Nonconformist. Well, don’t you know we have two old parties in this country crying out “international agreement" and voting for European standards? Women work in the fields of Europe and are harnessed up in leather harness like horses and mules. A few more turns of the wheel, a few more administrations like ‘ Grandpa s hat” and Grover Cleveland and the men will be in camp for military duty and the women will do

Dishonesty or Idiocy.

In a harangue in favor of the gold standard before the lowa state democratic convention the speaker said that free silver meant a silver standard and that that meant a depreciated dollar. He declared that our 600,000,000 of silver dollars were now good simply because they were re : deemable in gold. They are not redeemable in gold. Neither the government or anybody else is compelled to exchange a gold dollar for a silver dollar. But if they were redeemable in gold, what better are they than a bank bill, and if they are no better, why this hypocrisy of the gold people about being in favor of both gold and silver? Now let us see where this man's logic leads us. The silver dollar is redeemable in gold and there are $600,000,000 and more of silver for redemption. Thegovernment never has much more than SIOO,000,000 in gold and hence could not if the demand were made—without selling more interestbearing bonds —redeem more than or.e-sixth of our circulating silver. As gold, according to this theory, is the sole basis of the value of the silver, the silver dollar is therefore worth only one-sixth of its face value, or 16H cents. Yet this fellow is willing that such a dollar should circulate. Either his theory is wrong or he is a knave. Talk of the dishonesty of the silver men! That sort of doctrine would .make the prince of knaves blush.— Farmer's Voice.

THE MYSTIC WHEEL.

What Some of the I'yclists Say Regarding Its Merits. The Mystic bicycle is manufactured by a company composed of responsible citizens of Mukwanago, Wis., the president being A. H. Craig, a brother of the editor of the Pilot. They determined when starting the manufactory to build the best wheel that could be made. They had the proven model of a superior design, aud it only required the best workmanship to turn out a better wheel than other high-class manufacturers were doing. This they have done, aud it is not claiming too much to say that it is superior to any §IOO wheel on the market. The guarantee of the manufacturer is broad, and every wheel sold by the Pilot has the additional guarantee of the publisher. The Mystic can be seen at the Pilot office. The price is §BS, but can be had through especial arrangement for §65 and expressage (about 75c.) Note what these letters say: Chicago, May 7, 1895, -The wheel you sent me gives entire satisfaction. Please ship one for my brother as soon as possible. G. S. Norton, 811-813 Masonic Temple. Note —Mr. Norton visited the factory in March and was so much interested in how the Mystics are manufactured that he decided then that the next wheel he rode should be a Mystic. As he is a wheelman of eight years’ experience the above testimonial is indeed a high compliment. Waukesha, Wis., May 10, 1895. —The Mystic wheel I got of you for my daughter gives splendid satisfaction. It fills the bill in every particular. Respectfully yours, A. J. Frame,

President Wakesha Nat. Bank. Caldwell, Wis., June 6,1895. We. the undersigned wheelmen of Caldwell, Racine county,Wis., do hereby testify that we have owned and ridden many different kinds of wheels, but none have given such satisfaction as the Mystic. It is the freest in actibn, easiest to manage and smoothest running wheel of any we ever tried. We can make better time and climb harder hills than we ever did before. In fact, it is all its makers claim for it. We have visited the factory, examined every part in the rough and also when finished, and find machinery, workmen and material are worthy inspection and prove by their work that they make one of the finest wheels on the market. R. Clark. W. J. Clark, C. F. Bettcke, Horace Clark. Alamosa, Colo., May 27, 1895. The Mystic has had the heaviest competition possible, but more than holds its own. I took your wheel without any experience whatever,and immediately found myself confronted with experienced experts of the Columbia, Waverly, Sterns, Syracuse, Spaulding, Soudan and several other makes, but I won more credit marks than all of them. Please ship immediately the order I gave you for Durango and Pagosa Springs. Next year we will sweep the country. S. S. Craig, M. D.

Troy Center, Wis., May 27, 1895.—Since riding the Mystic wheel I have been asked many times how I liked it and how it compared with other wheels. To all such inquiries I have but one answer to make: It gives perfect satisfaction. It has many points of excellence over the general make of wheels and is the easiest running wheel I ever rode. It is very sensitive in the head, which is an advantage not to be lost sight of. The workmanship is first-class in every respect and the style and finish as near perfect as possible. I have seen none that I tnought its equal. The chain is a point that beats them all, and I consider it worth *5 more at least than any othei I ever saw. Taking all in consideration I consider the Mystic the best high grade wheel on the market this season. W. S. Bunker. Havelock, lowa, May 21. 1895.

—I have just arrived home from Minneapolis, having made the trip up and back on my Mystic (550 miles) without a break or mishap and without paying out one cent for repairs, and I went through mud, over hubs and rocks which would certainly have smashed anything but a strong wheel, yet my machine is as good this minute as she was when it came out of your factory. H. W. Ackley. Newburg, Wis., May 16, 1895. —The Mystic arrived all o. k.; took it last night. Had to ride home eight miles and I never had such a snap and pleasant ride before because it runs so easily that the rider doesn’t know whether he is working with his feet or not. I have seen and ridden many different wheels, but none that I have ever seen can compete with the Mystie in any respect. Bicyclists who have never ridden a Mystic do not know what a good wheel is—but there is no use trying to praise it, because it praises itself more than human being can praise it. Jas. B. Mollino. Rensselaer. Ind., July 6, 1895. —I desire to express my great pleasure in the ownership of a Mystic wheel. It has proven all that was hoped for, and I prefer it to any wheel that I have seen. Miss Eva Washburn. Rensselaer, Ind., July 6, 1895. —I take pleasure in saying that the Mystic is the easiest running and most perfectly balanced wheel that I ever rode. Have just roturned from a ten-day trip without the slightest accident or expense for repairs. It certainly has no peer as a highclass bicycle.
