DONE IN 0NE-FIFTY
NOT MUCH LEFT OF THE WORLDS
MILE BICYCLE RECORD.
Otto Zeigler Makes it'Even Seconds In
Marvelously Exciting Race
Does First Half in $50 5-Beautl-
full Pickup of the Pacemakers,
Delmar and Hamilton.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 16-On the 18th of
September John S. johnson caused a sem
sation in bicycle circles the world over by
riding mile at Waltham, Mass. in the
phenomenal time of 1:50 3-5.
This wonderful feat was eclipsed in this
city today when Otto Zeigler, of San Jose,
covered the mile in 1:5O, clipping nearly a
full second off the worlds record As a
matter of fact. he did ride the mile in a
fraction over Lag. but as one of the several
watches made 1:50 fat the judges placed
the official time 1T that figure.
This mile of young Zeigler's is the fast
est ever run on a bicycle. 1t was made
with a flying start and he was paced by
tandem teams, one taking him to three
eighths, another to the five-eights and the
third pacing him 10 the outcome.
1t was a typical Sacramento autumn
day. The SKY was without cloud and
he temperature just warm enough to en-
able the racers 20 put fourth their best en-
ergies There was light breeze from the
northwest and this. it WAS feared, would
not allow of record breaking but Zeigler
was in fine form and determined 10 make
the effort
The riding was done under the super
vision of the Sacramento Athletic Club
of Wheelmen, under the rules of the
League of American Wheelmen. which
makes 1t the official record. Judges were
II. A. Moore, A. w. Williams and H. Z.
McCrea. The timers were c. Patton, Il.
ii. Blair, aud George Kneier. Referee
w. A. Hubbard. Starter J.. S. Epson.
The pacemakers We're Wells and Hall;
Smith and Olsen, and Delmar and Hamil-
ton.
The start was fine one and the quarter
was passed in 20 3-5 seconds. The half
mile post was passed IN the phenom enaIly
fast time Of SO 3 5 seconds, leaving Zeigler
a full minute to make the last half in
order to beat the record. Around he turn
the wheelmen fairly flew, looking like
three orange colored balls rolling behind
the inside fence.
Near the thres-quarter pole Delmare and
Ha@llton were getting under way aud by
the time the others came up they were at
their full speed. There was n perfect
pickup and the wheelmen at he score Were
fairly trembling with excitement and en-
thusiasm rs the watches licked off 1:23
Zeigler still had % 3 ) seconds in which
TO equal JOhnson's record and there Was no
reason to fear he could not beat il for the
fresh tandem riders were bringing him
down the course a; "A tremendous rate Of
speed. Within about sixty yards of the
wire Zeigler who mad been riding almost
on top Of his fresh and spec dv pacemakers,
could wait no longer, and shooting out TO
one side he flew past them and passed
under the wire as already stated, in a frac-
ton under 1:50
There is no doubt that he could have
lowered the record fully two seconds more
bad the pacemakers been able to lead him.

went to the Central National bank,
wrote out his check for $1,000, and
the money was passed over the coun-
ter without a word, as he is heavy
stockholder in the bank, and in his
capacity of stock-dealer, as well as
farmer, often has use for large sums
of money. Rejoining his companion,
the two hurried back toward Bourne
vile and met the other bunkoist, who
was awaiting them. In the excite
ment and lively conversation between
the two bunkoists nothing was said
about Smiths putting up his agreed
portion of the bet.
Farmer Jones produced the $1,000
and agreed that it should be placed
in the tin box with the supposed $15,-
GOO; that the box should be locked up
and turned over to Farmer Jones;
that the Tennessee Jones should keep
the key; that next day they should
come % the city and go to the Cen
trail National bank and open the box.
Whichever one won should have the
contents of the box. Farmer Jones'
money was shifted and the box, after
being locked, was turned over to him
ard he took it home and the two bun
koists got into the buggy and drove
toward the city. Later in the day Mr..
Jones became uneasy and took the
box to town. 1t was pried open at
the savings bank and contained only
a Dacl<age of paper.

sURPASSES THE POPULISTS.

Syracuse Post: Miss Frances F..
Willard, for many years president of
the Womun's Christian Temperance
union, delivered speech before the
union last week in Cleveland, Ohio, in
which she departed considerably from
the subject of temperance, and pre-
scribed an entire system of measures
for the administration of government,
She advocated the single tax theory
of Henry George, i. e., placing the
entire burden of government upon
land, thus abolishing custom-houses,
internal revenue, taxes on personal
property, license taxation, etc. She
wants the government to own all the
railroad and telegraph lines, thus in
creasing the patronage of the presi-
dent and whatever political party
happens to be in power. She thinks
the government should also own the
newspapers, not apparently stopping
to think that the president and the
party in power could thus institute a
censorship Of the press which would
muzzle the mouth of every public
speaker like herself who shouldn't
happen to advocate just what that
u
it's head should think agreeable to
them.
This brief outline Of Miss Willard's
| notions of political economy rather
goes beyond the populistic visions of
Jerry Simpson, John C. Bell, T. J.
Hudson, Lafe Pence, and a whole gal
axy of like statesmen in the present
congress. but who after the 4th of
March next will sink into oblivion in
the Western horizon. 1t is true. they
| We're ready to pass laws authorizing
the secretary Of the treasury to loan
government money on such security
as wheat. rye. oats, barley, and we
do not remember if they include live
stock upon the ranches; but in theil.
most lurid descriptions of the pros
perity which would follow such legis-
lation they never advocated the gov
ernment ownership or control of
newspapers.
Miss Willard has undoubtedly
| wrought good results in the field of
temperance advocacy. but she will
