present held their watches on him. The
second mile of a three-mile stretch was
timed and il was found he had ridden
it exactly in 2:10. 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 e. X. Coulter.
holder of the worlds unpaced mile rec
ord. Becker rode the half in So 2-3,
and the mile in 2:07 2-5. The half-mile
mark Is under the worlds record OF
So held by Gardner of Chicago. Coulter
was the most enthusiastic of all over
the plucky performance and obtained
Becker's consent to make a match race
with Hackenberger of Denver for
twenty-five miles unpaced.

On the evening of November, 29th, 1873,
a fire broke out in the British ship Melanie,
loaded with 500 barrels of petroleum. An
awful mass of flames shot up from the main
hatch and the vessel quivered from stem to
stern with explosion of the barrels. Her
seams opened and the blazing petroleum
poured out into the river, spreading a belt
of fire around her The master and seamen
Jumped overheard. Captain Sharp, whose
vessel was lying closely, propelled small
boat through the blazing river and after a
severe scorching and imminent peril, saved
the seamen from a horrible death.
All over civilization there are thousands
of men in more imminent danger than were
those seamen. They are threatened with
consumption or are already i'll the clutch of
that deadly disease. If they only knew it,
help is at hand. DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery cures % per cent. of all cases
of consumption. 1t also cures bronchitis,
asthma, throat and nasal troubles and all
diseases of the air passages. 1t is the great
blood maker, flesh builder, and tonic.
It makes the appetite hearty, the digestion
perfect and the liver active. The Golden
Medical Discovery" is the product of that
eminent specialist, DR.. r. V. Pierce, who
during the thirty years that he has been
chief consulting physician to the great
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute. at
Buffalo, has treated more cases than fifty
ordinary physicians treat in a lifetime
Thousands given up by doctors, have tes-
tilted to complete recovery under this mar
velous medicine.
Constipation causes and aggravates many
serious diseases. 1t is speedily cured by
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.

An officer will be sent to Minneapolis
