Man who Suffered from More Things

Than Dyspepsia
They came into the breakfast room
of an uptown hotel, says the New York
Journal. It was as evident that the
hollow-eyed, thin-faced, yellow man
was dyspeptic as it was that both
were from the country and that she
was boss. She was tall and spare and
resembled an animated vinegar cruet
in more ways than one. They seated
themselves at table and consulted
bill of fare
What are you going to have?" asked
she. with just suspicion of a snecr.
well, I'm feelin' pretty good today
and l guess I'll take two boiled eggs
and a cup of coffee
Il thought so. Well, l guess you'll
have one poached egg and u cup of hot
water"
The dyspeptic sank into himself and
said mildly: 81 feel considerably bet
ter today and two boiled eggs would
taste good"
But one egg poached is all you get.
II I didn't look after your stummick
you wouldn't have any," said she, with
baleful glare.
But I'm hungry. Can't 1 have two
poached?"
whats the use Of arguing, Henry?
l try to speak plain, and one poached
egg and a cup of hot water is what l
said"
Here a light came into the eye Of
the unfortunate. like the last glimmer
of the spark In dying match. and he
turned to the waiter In voice
trembling with moral courage the
dyspeptic said: 1.-TWO boiled eggs and
cup Of coffee for me-"
His better half looked at him dumb
founded for a moment, and then sho
said decisively: Waiter, you bring
him one poached egg and a cup of hot
water, and I'll have n steak with fried
potatoes and two boiled eggs and side
dish Of hash and a plate Of corn bread
oh, and some oranges to start with"
The waiter walked toward the kitch-
en- in deep abstraction, while the lady
glanced triumphantly at her lord and
master, who fell to reading a newspa-
per with much attention. When the
waiter came back with the order there
was a look OF grim determination on
his face. He first put the beefsteak.
fried potatoes. the oranges. the corned-
beef hash and eggs and corn bread be-
fore madam. Then he defiantly placed
at the dyspeptics place the forbidden
boiled eggs and the coffee.
Didn't l tell you to bring him one
poached egg and cup Of hot water?"
demanded the lady, with austerity.
you take them things back and bring
what told you to-"
beg pardon. mum! What did you
say? Wheat cakes? Certainly. num-"
and the waiter fed toward the kitchen.
The dyspeptic ate the two boiled eggs
and drank his cup Of coffee triumph
antly; but he did not look. when he left
the table. as II he expected pleasant

Chicago, Jul l6.-Congressmnn Joseph
Sibley of Pennsylvania arrived here
to-day and opened headquarters at the
Auditorium. He announces himself us
n candidate for the presidency on the
free silver platform. and his friends
who have been here for several days
started an earnest and vigorous cam,
puign in behalf of his candidacy. Sib-
ley's friends have received assurances
from some of the silver leaders that If
Pennsylvania will drop Pattison for
Slbley the state can name the choice
of the convention.
General Warner president of the Bi-
metallic league, assured Mr.. Sibley of
his support, and the belief is strong
that If the silverites decide to select
nm eastern man for either first or sec
Ond place on the ticket they will unite
on Sibley. 1t is also said that Mr.. Sib-
lev would be supported by the silver
senator's from the northwest.

ulists Want Him.
Chicago, July 6.-Congressman Shaf-
roth of Colorado. when asked what was
the political situation to-day. said:
at seems to me that 1t becomes more
apparent each day that the logical can
dida,e of the situation is Senator Teller,
and that he is almost the only man up
on whom all the silver forces can unite.
'.rhe reason the Populist party. repre-
senting n silver strength of over 2,OOO,-
coo votes. will not indorse Democrat
nominated by Democratic convention
is very apparent. 1t is not because a
Democrats is any less loyal to the silver
cause than member of their own
party. nor on account of any objection
to the candidate. 1t is because an in
dorsemcnt of Il straight Democratic tic
ket would work dissolution of the
Peoples party. 1t would mean the
absorption of that party by the Demo
cratic party. The Populists, through
their leaders. say that. although they
are willing to make silver the issue of
this year. they are not willing to aban-
don the other pr.nc pies of their party,
and hence must make II nomination of
their own until this candidate can be
agreed upon. Democrats cannot expect
that the great mass of their political op-
ponents will in one leap land into the
party.
"The Democratic party has not
enough votes TO win at this election
without the Populists and silver Repub-
leans. and it is unDuestionably to the
interest of the silver cause to agree
upon man that all the silver forces
will support"

WESTERN WILL MEET TODAY
TO ENDEAVOR TO PATCH Up THE
OIFFERENCE CREATED BY
THE CUT.
ONION LEAGUE AGREEMENT.
Chairman MidgIey Seems to Have
Gotten "a Little Light on a Dark
Subject.

A cut of 60 cents was made in the
hard coal rates, Chicago to ST. Paul,
by the Milwaukee yesterday, making
the rate S1.90 per ton, car loads. This
action Of the Milwaukee was taken to
meet the competition of the Omaha
and other lines which last Saturday
established a rate of 81 from the head
of the lakes to Sioux City and Sioux
Falls. The cut of the Milwaukee will
force the other lines to do likewise,
although they frankly state that it
will be losing business. Nearly all
of the other Chicago-St. Paul lines
state that the rate will be met Hard
coal rates all over the West have been
cut within the past few days. The sit
uation is very interesting Many of
the big coal companies having agen-
cies in Chicago who will take adj
vantage of the low rates, also have
large agencies and repositories at the
head of the lakes, and should the rates
from the head of the lakes be cut still
further it will put the agents in a Pc
culiar predicament, for they will be
tempted to go out of their territory
to secure business in the Twin Cities.
Commissioner Midgley, of the West
ern Freight association, is all wrought
up over the matter. He has called a
meeting of the roads interested, to
meet in Chicago this morning to con-
slider the situation and check up in
termediate points. The lake lines have
also been invited

AMERICAN MALTREATED.
Brutality Abused by a Force of Span
ish Guerrillas.

NEW YORK, Sept. ga special to
the Herald from Santiago de Cuba says
Vice Consul Hyatt has entered an en-
ergetic protest in the case of Peter E.
Rivery, an American planter maltreat-
ed by Spanish guerillas on his coffee
estate, La EsperanZa, near ST. Louis,
on the road to Bayamo. During his
protest to the Spanish officer in COM
mand of the guerillas against the de-
struction of his fences and property by
the latter's forces, Rivery was abused
and led out to be shot summarily. The
timely intervention of Spanish scout,
who pleaded with the officer and
vouched for Rivery'S neutrality, alone
saved him. Even then the guerillas
were so enraged that, in defiance of
the officers orders, they brutally beat
Rivery with their machetes and be-
fore leaving his plantation tore down
the American flag waving over his resi-
dence, warning him not to display 1t
again.
All Americans, the guerillas said,
were either mambis or rebel spies and
if not openly aiding the revolution
were doing so secretly, consequently
they ought all to be shot wherever
found by the Spanish troops.
Rivery was born in New Orleans. He
is of French extraction and came to
Cuba some years ago to assume con-
troll of property left him by his grand
father, who died in Martinique. He is
highly respected by the better resident
element and is in nowise suspected of
sympathy with the revolution.
The Spanish colonel in command at
st. Louis apOlogiZed to Rivery for the
outrage done him, and expressed his
personal regret at the insubordinate
acts of the unruly guerillas in the field.

MIDGLEY's NEW CIRCULAR.
He Seems to Have Seen the Union
League Light.

Chairman Midgley, of the Western
Freight association, has issued a cir
cular to members which is something
odd in view of his testimony last week
before the interstate commerce COM
mission.
The circular says that in order to
prevent a possible misunderstanding
In view of the withdrawal of the Rock
Island and the Atchison from the as
ISOLATION, that those roads have writ
ten the chairman that they still con-
slider themselves held by the Union
league agreement, and as the expenses
are, according to the rules of that con-
tract, to be divided according to the
proportion of tonnage carried ETC. The
circular also begs the roads to have
patience yet a little while longer as
plans are being arranged for the Or
Sc.nization of the association on more
satisfactory lines.
Now what is the Union league
agreement, please?"
In his testimony before the inter-
state commerce commission, Mr. Midg-
ley was asked that same question, and
he said that he did not know, that he
was not a member that he did not
understand the nature of the thing at
all. Yet he refers to it in his circular,
and appears to have learned some
thing about it. No one seems to know
what the Union league agreement is,
and it appears to be one of those rail-
way mysteries which even the astute
interstate commerce commission can
not unraVel.
General Freight Agent w. j. c. Ken
yon, of the Burlington, was asked
what the Union league agreement
was.
There is where pass. don't KNOW"
replied Mr.. Kenyon.
General Freight Agent Stohr, of the
Great Western, was asked the same
question.
ASK Midgley, I don't know" was his
answer.

THE PROFESSIONALS CONFIDENT.
Satisfied That Wheat Prices Have
Not as Yet Recorded High
Water Mark.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-Wheat furnished a big
surprise today December closing 15sc higL er,
after an early decline of &c. The decrease in
the worlds visible supply was entirely unex-
pected, and started a wild buying movement
resulting in the advance. Corn closed ssc
oats 1sc higher, and provisions sc lower to SC
higher. The suggestion of the early news
regarding wheat was that it would probably
see lower prices. The action of the mar
ket during the first few minutes of the ses-
sion justified such conclusion for Decem-
Der, which had closed ON Saturday worth
66sc, opened this morning at 655sc The
bear1sh early news was about as follows:
Chicago receipts 252 cars compared with 1877
year ago; Minneapolis and Duluth receipts.
1857 cars, against 1,10S on Monday a week
ago; Black sea ports shipments for the week,
S,95O,0O0 blu, suggesting total Of 5000, 900
blu as having been put afoat for Europe from
all points last week. Foreign markets were
apparently quite ready to sympathize with any
weakness that might crop up here. Advices
from the Northwest continued to report the
probability of increased farmers deliveries,
and the Atlantic port clearances since Sat
urday were only equivalent in flour and
wheat together to 200, 900 blu. In spite of all
this, there was persistent buying by profess
SIGNALS, who are satisfied that prices have not
yet recorded high-water mark. Under it the
effect of the bearish news was soon over
come, December gradually advancing to 665sc.
Later in the session. the visible supply sta.e-
ment provided a sensation and provided
strong enough market to dispose of a good
deal of the wheat, bought earlier in the day
to support 1t. 1t showed a decrease of 974-
600 bu, instead of an increase Of about $780,
600 blu as expected, and compared with an
increase year ago of 1883, 900 blu. reg
ular flood Of covering orders poured in, and
December rushed up to Csc in a very
short space Of time. There was weak spot
later, December declining to 66Bc, but heavy
short buying soon shot prices upward again,
December closing firm at 67Ac. Corn was
weak early, but later when wheat became
strong, the shorts took fright and began to
clutch rather nervously for the limited Of
ferings. May opened at 25sc, declined to Csc,
and advanced to 255s@25Ac, closing firm at
259sc. Oats were rather quiet. Prices closed
about 1sc better all around than Saturdays
final quotations. May opened a shade lower
at 19Ac, and advanced to 1916 closing steady
at 19@@191sc. Commission houses appeared
well supplied with selling orders for provi-
sions at the opening and prices were lower
for while in consequence. All that was
changed when wheat became very strong
January pork closed sc lower at $40; Janu-
airy lard &c higher at $4.I5; January ribs I'M
changed at $3.521s@3.55. Estimates: Wheat,
295 cars; corn 1000 cars; oats, $50 cars; hogs,
