Saw Himself.

Rather an amusing incident occurred
in one of our business houses yesterday.
In the morning a well dressed and ven.
cradle looking old gentlemen came in
with about bushel of various things
tied up in coffee sack which he asked
permission to lay under the counter.
About noon he asked for the sack,
from which he hshed paper box,
securely wrapped with many coils of a
yellow string, took of his hat, opened
the box, asked grace, and was about 10
proceed to swallow hts lunch, when the
proprietor INVITED him back to private
room, where there were chairs, a table
and French mirrow. Disestiug him
self of his coat which he hung on peg,
he turned and saw his unreeognized sell
in the glass, to which ne gave a mutual
bow, with a pleasant good day SIR"
Repeating this unanswered solutio1
several times, the old gentleman became
angry, threw his lunch box and all, out
Of the window, and left town.
His sack bag, filed with unknown
curiosities was left behind, and there
was much excited discussion on the
streets yesterday as to whether the old
man had his abode in Person OF

"Middle- Populists Cannot
 Center Upon a Man

ST. LOUIS, July 24.-The action of the middle-of the-road' steering com mlttee Tuesday night, in first offering their support to Ignatus Donnelly of Minnesota for permanent chairman, and then selecting J. E. Champion of Maine, who bitterly opposed Sewall, has caused trouble. Quite a large number of dele gates have assured Donnelly they<in- tend to support him, but the steering committee remains firm in its intention= to stand by Champion. This will cause further division in the salready unor- ganlzed ranks of the middle of the road men, and Bryan adherents will doubtless be able to select their man for permanent chairman. "Middle-of- the- roaders" are also talking about other can dldates in the hope of a. compromise of some kind. Bryan men seem very much inclined to select Senator Allen of Ne braska, for chairman.

 1.-The convention was praised by it's friends who wish to preserve the Popu- list party for future use. It plainly in- dicates what the result will be. There will be no unconditional surrender to the Democratic party or its candidates. The convention will adopt Populist platform, nominate ticket and pass a resolution to combine with the Demo- crats and all friends of silver on one set of electors. '
