IN HANDS OF SPIRITS.
Puzzling Condition of a Man Who
Kept His Bed for a Year.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Feb. 9.-The COM
missioners of insanity have issued an
order for the commitment of Richard
Bye to the insane asylum at Independ-
ence, and he will at once be taken to
that institution. Bye was at one time
a successful business man on Wall
street, where he afterwards suffered
losses. Later he was an editor of a
newspaper in Kentucky. He came to
this city about three years ago, and for
a time was a fairly successful business
man, being engaged in the life insur-
ance business. Today he is in a. condi-
ton that puzzles the authorities, and
everybody else who has Investigated
his case.
Possessed of a fire education and
more than ordinary intelligence, Bye
has remained in bed almost continu-
Ously for nearly a year, claiming that
he was in the hands of spirits, who
have refused to release him from their
power. 4 man six feet. three inches in
height, and weighing go pounds when
he went into the trance, ne is today
only few pounds lighter, and apDar-
entity enjoying the best of health.

! The war between the railroads, who
/ are anxious for the passage OF the bill
to prohibit the selling of tickets by
brokers, and the brokers themselves,
seems to be on in good earnest. Scarce
ly a day passes but some information
| comes over the wires designed to infiu-
! ence legislation either for or against
the measure. Up to within very few
days ago, the railroads had all the
best of it. RobberieS of offices, where
thousands of dollars worth of tickets
were alleged to have been stolen, were
of these alleged pecul2tions were all the
public ever heard OF the matter, how
ever, and according to brokers of this
city, these alleged robberies We're on
q par with the theft of four tickets at
Brigham City, which was magnifed by
a local paper into thousands, with no
apparent reason.
OF late, however, the brokers have
been getting some good advertising
stuff on the wires. Yesterdays issue
contained dispatch from San Fran
cisco, relating how a buyer of a brok-
ers ticket had obtained damages
against a cOmapny for false imprison-
ment. The latest, however, is one which
VIII make the anti-scalDers sCuirm.
The telegram is dated at Springfield,
HIS, and reciteS that as an important
branch Of the fight between the rail-
road companies of the country and the
brokers, which is now on before con-
gress, q case has been brought before
the supreme court of Illinois. The rail
road men laid great stress on the ex-
istence of the law in Illinois prohibiting
ScalperS, in their arguments before the
congressional committee, and especially
directed attention TO the opinion OF
the supreme court delivered in 1894,
that the statute was valid. The COM
panies caused all the brokers in Chi
cago to be indicted last month, and now
come the indicted with a petition, flied
in court, in which they ask that this
opinion be expunged and annulled on
the ground that the same was obtained
by fraud and collision on the part of
the railroad companies, and that the
case in which it was rendered was a
fraud upon the supreme court, TO de-
ceive and trick that tribunal into rem
dering an opinion favorable to the rail
roads.
The justices of the supreme court en-
tertained motion for rule upon the
attorney general of Illinois, and upon
the agents and attorneys of the rail-
roads implicated in these serious
charges, to show cause why the opinion
should not be annulled and eXpunged
from the record.
There is but little doubt but what this
matter viii be played upon for all it is
worth, and that the brokers viii push
the same TO a showdown as soon as
possible. Especially will this be true if
the brokers happen to know they hold
a winning hand.

Interstate Decision.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The interstate
commerce commission today in an
opinion by Commissioner Yeamans,
announced its decision in the case
brought by the American Warehouse
mems association against the Illinois
Central Railroad company and % other
carriers.
1t holds that a common carrier with
no general duty to act as a warehouse
man for indefinite periods, in connec-
ton with its primary obligations as a
common carrier, cannot assume to pro-
vide shippers with valuable warehouse
facilities which are not essential to it's
business as a carrier, without furnish
ing them for all shippers at all times
and upon the same terms, and notify
ing the public. Carriers will therefore
be required to plainly indicate upon
the schedules published and fled with
the commission what storage in sta
tons, warehouses or cars will be per-
mitted, and all the terms and condi-
tons upon which the same has been
granted.
The order takes effect April l, 1898,
and from that date all carriers must
cease granting storage, which is not
a necessary and an ordinary part of
receiving and delivering freight, unless
the same is specified in the sched-
uleS

Canadian Pacific Threat.

Chicago. Feb. 9.-Two days ago the
executive officers of the transconti-
mental roads sent a message to Vice
President Shaughnessy of the Cana
dian Pacific, reciting the efforts made
by the passenger agents of their re-
spective lines to get General Passenger
Agent McNicOll Of the Canadian Pa
cific to Join in a conference regarding
the Alaskan business.
Today they received a reply from Mr.
Shaughnessy which is on the same line
as those sent by General Passenger
Agent McNicon to the general passen-
ger agents of the American roads. Mr.
Shaughnessy, in his telegram declining
the request for a meeting, went into
the matter at great length and wound
UP by declaring that unless the Amer
lean roads within three days Withdrew
all the cut rates which he declared to
be in existence to North Pacific coast
points, the Canadian Pacific would
proceed to protect its interests in the
manner in which it seems to it best.

Will Hatfield of Eureka, who regis

/ states that while he has not seen the
ore from the latest strike III the Uncle
Sam, on Godiva mountain, ne hears
that it is Il most important one, and
that the mineral is as fine a sold
quartz as one could wish to see, as it
runs very high in the yellow metal, and,
while the deposit is not very large as
yet, the indications are that it will lead
to a larger body and that in time, with
development the Uncle Sam viii prove
TO be quite productive of the metal that
Mckinley and Wall street dotes on.
In fact. the find is considered as be-
ing q most important one in Tintic min
ing circles. and future development is
being looked forward to with interest,
ana people would not be at all surprised
if Jesse Knight should open a chute
of mineral that was more than half
gold, as the goddess of fortune has been
very good TO him of late.
In speaking of the Snowflake, just
above the Centennial which is
being developed under his supervision,
Mr.. Hatfield states that the indica-
tons are improving as work progresses,
and that in the body of mineral being
followed while pushing development

being developed under Mr.. Hatfields
management, and he is satisfied that
it will soon take rank as a shipper, as
in the lower workings of the property
from three to four feet of ore is ex-
posed. which carries average values of
30 TO 20 ounces silver and from 81 to 81
