Rich Palmer, an enthusiastic wheelman of the Paramount Wheelman's club, New York, reached Altoona last night after an exciting experience between this city and Pitteburg.

Palmer is trying to break the road record between Cincinnati and New York city. His time from Cincinnati to Altoona was fifty-four hours, a remarkable record when the weather and road conditions are considered. Between Pittsburg and this city Palmer rode on the paths along the railway. Just outside the Smoky City he was held up and robbed of a medal by highwaymen; and yesterday at Johnstown he threw himself over an embankment to escape being run down by an express train. Palmer left Cincinnati penniless, and is supposed to reach New York with $25 in order to win a prize of $500.

He will give an exhibition of trick riding at the matinee at the opera house to-day. TRUTH wears well. People have learned that De Witt's Little Early Risers are reliable little pills for regulating the bowels, curing constipation and eick headache. They don't gripe. J.
