". F. Becker, the speedy Minneapolis
lad who caused such a sensation at tho
VelodrOmc at San Francisco recently,
apparently has not the least idea Of
what speed he is capable of. The other
day he received a new wheel from the
east fitted with a 96 inch gear. While
trying it on the Nelodromc track shortly
after its arrival he was noticed going at
such a speed, unpaced, that several of
the racing men present held their
watches ON him. The second mile Of IA
three mile ride was timed, and it was
found he had ridden it i'll exactly 2:lO.
Becker was highly elated over this and
concluded to make a special trial for an
unpaced mile.
After "a short rest he made the at
tempt, timed by several of the racing
men. among whom was &. 4. Coulter,
holder of the worlds unpaced mile rec
ord. Becker rode the half i'll 0;5S % and
the mile in 2:O7 90. The half mile
mark is under the worlds record Of O:59,
held by Arthur Gardiner of Chicago.
Coulter was the most enthusiastic of al
over the plucky performance and OBJ
tanned Becker's consent to make a match
race with Hackenberger of Denver for
25 miles, unpaced, each man starting
from opposite sides of the track. Hack
enberger has heretofore been invincible
in this sort of race, but Coulter is con
fdent the Denverite will find his su-
perior in Becker. st. Louis Globe

She Dreamed of Hidden Wealth.

Miss Gertic Tressler Of Knoxville,
Ia, had a dream that so impressed it.
self upon her mind that she followed
the Instructions the next day, and in
the rear Of the yard found buried under
a tree a tin can containing $500. She
confesses to have dreamed of the money
before, but her visions were SO intangi-
BILE that she could not locate it. The
family are at a loss to know how the
money came in the yard, and the only
explanation the young woman will haz-
ard on the subject is that it was placed
there by an uncle, now dead, who re-
vealed its hiding place to her in the
dream. The money was in gold coins of
$50 denomination mostly and will be
used to give her a college education.-

Pa, Ma, Church and BulIfght.

A Kansas editor went to Mexico on
an editorial excursion recently, leaving
his daughter, II years old, to get out
the paper during his absence. The first

editorial column:

it is lonesome to be editor in chief all
