Twice in His Life.

When J. J. Ingalls declared that “honesty in politics is an irridescent dreanr’ it was very strongly suspected that J. J. (which some people contend stands for Jackleg Jawhawker) told the truth for once. Later he gave utterance to the following truth—strange coming from his lips, and stranger yet coming from a republican: “No people in a great emergency ever found a faithful ally in gold. It is the most cowardly of metals. It makes no treaty it does not break. It has no friends it does not sooner or later betray. Armies and navies are not maintained by gold. In times of panic and calamity, shipwrecks and disaster, it becomes the agent and minister of ruin. No nation ever fought a great war by the aid of gold. On the contrary, in the crisis of greatest danger, it becomes the greatest enemy, more potent than the foe in the field: but when the battle is fought and won. and peace has been, secured, gold reappears and claims the fruit of tire victory. In our own civil war it is doubtful if the gold of New York and London did not work us greater injury than the powder, lead and iron of the confederates. It is the most invincible enemy of public credit. Gold paid not soldiers. It refused the national obligations. It was worth most when our fortunes were the lowest. Every defeat gave it increased value. It was in open alliance with our enemies the world over, and all its energies were evoked for our destruction. But. jis usual when danger has been averted and victory secured, gold swaggered to the front and asserted its supremacy.” J. J. had better be careful or he will be read out of his party, for this is rank heresy.

SEVERAL OLD SOLDIERS SHOT

In Rensselaer Between the Livery Stable and Bridge. All will recover. They were shot with improved Sharp’s rifie. 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 Gallerv.

THE MYSTIC WHEEL.

U lint Sonif of tin• i artists Vi}/ Rr-l/in-itina Its >1 frits The Mystic bicycle is manufactured by a company composed of responsible citizens of Mukwanago. Wis.. the president j being A. H. Craig, a brother of I tiie editor of the Pilot. They j determined when starting the j manufactory. to build the best j wheel that could he made. They I had the proven model of a su- | perior design, and it only rejquired the best workmanship to j turn out a better wheel than other high-class manufacturers j were doing.

This they have done, and 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 guaranteebf the publisher. The Mystic can be seen at the Pilot office. The price is SBS, i but can be had through especial | arrangement for #65 and ex- | [message (about 75c.) Note what these letters say: Chicago. May 7. 1805.—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 8,1895. 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 action, 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 w’orth $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 j rocks which would certainly ; have smashed anything but a strong wheel, yet my machine is las good this minute as she was j when it came out of your facj tory. H. W. Ackley. Newburg, Wis.. May 16, 1895. 'Phe 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 t hat the rider doesn’t know whether he is working with his feet or not. I have seen and ridden many different wheels, but nbue that 1 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 .Jan. B. Mulling. Rensselaer. Ind., July 6, 1895. —I desire to express my great pleasure in the ownership of a Mystic wheel. li 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. 1 take pleasure in saying that the Mystic is the easiest running and most perfectly balanced wheel that I ever rode. Have just returned from a ten-day trip without the slightest accident or expense for repairs. It certainly has no peer as a highclass bicycle.

Two Lives Saved.

Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida street, San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold! approaching consumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery and in two weeks was cured.
