fel & Grau, died early today in hisapart-
ments al the Osborne Death was due
to a hemorrhage from the stomach
With him when he died We're his daugh-
ter and Mrs. Kingsley, mother of Mr..
Abbey's first wife The present Mrs.
Abbey, who recently brought a suit for
divorce is said to be in Europe.
MIR. Abbey has been i'll some time.
Several months ago his condition was
said to be most serious, but after that
he improved. The change in his cOndi-
ton came about 5 0 clock yesterday
afternoon and from that time on he
grew steadily worse until he died.
One of the first to be called to the bed
side OF the dying man was John 3.
Schoenel of Mr.. Abbey'S firm Mr..
SchoHel Immediately took charge and
was also in the sick room at the time
of his friends death.
Mr.. Abbey had been heard of but
little publicly since the publication of
his wife's action for divorce and the
reorganization of his firm which caused
q sensation in the amusement world a
few months ago. Only his intimate
friends knew where he was living, and
they only had an intmation Of the
seriousness OF his condition. For this
reason, the announcement Of his death
came as q startling surprise.
Henry Abbey started a. line in theatri-
Gals which was peculiarly his own. He
would handle only the greatest attrac-
tiOns. In the presentation Of these
performances involving great risk, law
ish display and boldneSs of conception
and perseverance Of presentation Alb

THE GREAT COMMON PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN BETRz YED AGAIN
Hon Ed c. Little who arrived this
morning to address the combined free
silver hosts this afternoon, is not true
friend of the people. What did he do
city, Did he make any attempt to visit
among the starving masses2 Did he
seek to meet any of his fellow slaves
NO. Accompanied by paid hirelings of
Mark Hanna, he went straight from the
train TO the hotel and a bout 10 o'clock
in the morning ordered (mark we'll the
Words A HOT BATH, and then ar
rayed himself in fine linen. What time
do the masses whom Mr.. Little pre-
tends to represent have for hot baths In
the middle of the day? While they
are standing upon the street corners in
boiling sun or driving rain, fighting to
the death the murderOus clutch of the
hell hounds of Wall street, Mr.. Little
is lOlling in the luxury of a hot bath.
COuntrymen, what caused the downfall
of Rome? 1t was the lUxuriousness Of
the people. What enervated the un-
happy people of Pompeii2 1t was their
hot baths. Let US froWn down this at
tempt of one of our leaders to ape the
luxuriousness Of the effete and pluto
cratic east. Did that true friend of
the. people, Jerry Simpson, ever take q
hot bath2 Was Governor Elder, that
robust fighter for our cause ever guilty
of such iInprudence2 Great Cod mol
scorn. Did that untiring representa-
tive Of our great cause, Statesman
Sp0OOner, ever find time from his la
bors in our behalf to enjoy an abIution
of soap and warm water2 Nay, verify,
he has not bathed since this fight
against the plutOcratic hOrdeS of the
east began. Whose memory is long
enough to recall the day when the ven
erable editor Rathbun of the Daily
Eagle found time to bathe? Fellow cit
izens, our best leaders do not sympa-
thize with Mr.. Little's 6ne-haired lux
ury
This hot bath business is an idea Mr.
Little brought with him from Egypt.
It IS a habit he contracted while in the
employ of the men who committed the
crime of 1873. 1t must be crushed Let
US tolerate no attempt TO strike down
our liberties. Let the battle be fought
out upon the lines laid down by the
leaders. We do not object to paying
Mr. Little a good round price for his
speeches but he must no more haunt
his insolent luxuriousness in our faces.

WHEAT UP WITH RUSH
It Made an Advance of Nearly Four
Cents Today.

Chicago, Oct. 17-After a session
seldom equalled for its excitement
and the heaviness Of its transactions,
December wheat closed today at 757sc,
an advance of a clean 3szc since the
closing bell of yesterdays board. The
closing figures We're not the top ones by
any means, for shortly before the noon
hour 761sc was being bid for the De
cember option.
The advance is attributable to but
one thing, the remarkable strength Of
the Liverpool, Berlin and Pacific mar
kets. Everybody was watching the
cables. They have been showing big
advances for several days and foreign
ers undoubtedly have long lines of
wheat
It was the general impression that
there would be no reaction until they
unload, and in view Of the failure Of
the India crop, and the shOrtness in
Russia and Argentine, this seemed to
be a rather remote contingency. Every
offer of wheat made to Europe today
was accepted.
Liverpool closed with an advance of
ped per Genital and London reported an
equivalent advance. That started the
fun. When the opening bell sounded
a perfect roar went up from the wheat
Of excited speculotars We're trying to
buy wheat which was not for sale.
December opened at an advance of
175 to 1azc and almost instantly ad-
vanced another quarter. Then for a.
while prices held comparatively steady
There We're plenty of spectators who
were willing to accept the profit In
such an advance. but their offerings
were eagerly snapped up. News cal
cuIated to boost prices continued to
pour in The most influential item was
a dispatch from San Francisco report
ing two more cargoes engaged for IN
dian shipment. Later cables from Par
is We're very strong, and it was said
that all the grain tonnage on both
coasts had been engaged for months
ahead, one significant fact being the
inquiry for sailing vessels.
There was no stopping the advance.
Up it went till 761sc had been recorded,
or exactly 4 cents higher than yester-
days closing figure. Even at that quo
tation there was little to sell, but
enough was offered to cause a reaction
to 1859 at the close.
The Oldest Spectators were aston
ished at the strength displayed. Talk
was heard that if today's advance is
any criterion of what is to come, that

FLAG MADE PARTISAN.
Mark Hanna Proposes That It be Dis
played on October 81.

Chicago. Oct 17=Chairman Hanna.
of the national committee, has sug-
gested a flag day in the campaign. He
believes in the efficacy of the display
of the stars and stripes and today pro-
mulgated the following as "a sugges-
ton to good citizens:''
The American flag has been in the
present campaign the emblem or in
sigma of national honor Its influence
has been for great good in the cause OF
a good people. It's display in many
places has been potent in the advance
of the country's battle for the mainte-
nance of its honor at home and abroad.
I would suggest that on Saturday, Oc-
tOber 81, all who intend to vote on No
vember 8 for the preservation Of our
national honor, for sound money and
the advancement of our peoples inter-
ests and general prosperity display the
national cOlors at their homes, their
places of business and wherever they
may be seen in order that voters whose
hearts are for their country may be
strengthened in their purpose and
those who are undetermined may
more patriotieally and intelligently
conclude how best to perform their du-
ty as citizens.
NJ A. HANNA
Tt is further suggested at the head
quarters of the Republican national
committee that state, county and city
committees and clubs encourage the
display of the national flag on the last
Saturday in the campaign in every
part of the country especially on resi-
dences, and have flags and bunting on
sale at convenient places for farmers
and others who live in localities remote
from popular trade points and that the
display of flags and bunting be contin-
ued until after the national election.

BEST ORGANIZATION
On Part of Republicans Coupled
With DissensiOn
Among Democrats to Make the
Victory Big.

Chicago, Oct 1.-THE Record says:
Republican enthusiasm and organiza-
ton and Democratic strife and jeal-
ousy, according to Henry l.. Hertz. are
to give the Republicans 96,200 plurality
in Cook county. While the other can
didates on the Republican ticket have
been out making speeches and attend
ing big Republican gatherings. A4r-
Hertz has sat at his desk in the BOyce
building headquarters and studied the
polls as they came in from the can
vassers. He also listened to reports OF
differences among silver Democrats un-
til yesterday he announced that he was
satisfied the Democrats were SO thor
oughly divided that they would not
only let the Republicans carry Cook
county by the largest plurality ever
given in the county, but that they
would be hopelessly divided for years
to come.
National Committeeman T. N Jamie
son has paid some attention to COOK
county while he has been attending to
Mr.. McKinley's interests in Illinois, ana
he says that the blanket Republican
claim that Cook county viii so lOo,0UV
for Mckinley is only wrong by z,oOJ
votes. With the assistance Of poll hsts,
registration returns and other reports
Dr. Jameson has viewed the SITUATION
ward by ward and township by town
ship. and is willing to risk his reDuta-
ton as a political prophet on the pre-
diction that Cook county viii 90 He-
publican by 81 900 plurality.
Henry L. Hertz does not admit LnaC
the Democrats will carry a single ward
in Chicago. According to his figures
thew have q chance for their lives IN
the First, Eighth, Nineteenth ana

wards are they within 1000 votes OF Sc

The change in the weather last night

due to another unmannerly high

its nose into the Missouri valley. The
