SPEAKER MEYER DEAD.

Chairman of the lUtnoin House Paaaes Away at Freeport. Chicago, July 3.—John Meyer, speaker of the Illinois house of representatives, prominent republican politician and well-known lawyer of this city, died today at Freeport. For some time the speaker "has been in poor health, but it was not known that the end was near. Death came suddenly while the patient was seeking rest and proved a great shock to hie political colleagues and associates at the bar. Mr. Meyer had been confined to his bed for two days and was reported as doing nicely last night. About 3 o’clock this morning a change for the worse was noticed, and he sank rapidly until life was extinct. Mrs. Meyer had been constantly at his side, and the death of her husband has prostrated her. Speaker Meyer returned to Freeport from Springfield last Wednesday night. He was driven to the home of his father-in-law and went to bed under the care of the same physician that Attended him here before the special session was called. He was able to sit up a few minutes at a time until last Saturday. Then he was instructed not to attempt to sit up again until permitted by his physicians. The advice was unnecessary. Mr. Meyer was unable to raise his head from the pillow. His disease was an ailment of the liver which had grown upon him for months. The exact cause of death will be determined at a post-mortem late this afternoon. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The burial will be in this city.

FOSTER BACK FROM CHINA.

Ex-Secretary of State Leaves Sau Fran-elM-o at Once for Washington. Victoria, B. C., July 3. —Among the passengers on the steamer Empress of China, which arrived from Hong Kong and Yokohama, was ex-Secretary of State Foster, f who acted as China’s agent in the peace negotiations with Japan. He left at once for Washington. Advices from Tokio are that unless Japan is prepared to acquiesce in Russia's ambitious schemes in the peninsula she must declare her intentions without delay. The emperor of China has again offended Japan by officially acknowledging the service of France and Russia in preventing the cession of the Manchurian province. The Corean question also presents many difficulties. Count Inoyi is believed to have entirely abandoned the task of regulating that troublesome monarchy. The Corean government is rapidly giving itself up to Russian influences. It is doubted whether the Coreans will now yield to any course of treatment prescribed by Japan. The queen controls the political situation at Seoul and her hatred of the Japanese is undisguised.

Held for a Cowardly Murder.

Chicago, July 3. —Sufficient evidence was parceled out by the police to-day in the inquest upon the remains of ’’Receiver" Carey B. Birch, of the West Chicago Street Railway Company, at the West North avenue station, to show most conclusively to the jury that there was a great probability that Joseph Windrath and Julius Manow. under arrest for the murder, will be convicted of the crime. The prisoners, accordingly, were held to the grand jury. The street car company was censured by the jury for not furnishing better protection for its receiver.

Olympia Stands the Tests.

San Francisco, Cal., July 3. —The naval board appointed to inspect the cruiser Olympia has completed its task and forwarded its report to Washington. While declining to anticipate their report to the secretary of the navy, members of the naval board admit that the report is favorable to the cruiser. They say that the Olympia is perfectly seaworthy, and in construction quite up to the specifications in every respect. Her machinery worked satisfactorily, and the other tests resulted in the approval of the entire board.

Riordan Had Hypertrophy.

Syracuse. N. Y., July 3.—The defense in the trial of Bob Fitzsimmons was closed with the testimony of Dr. G. A. Lyon, of New York. From the description given, he said he would judge thilt Riordan was affected with hypertrophy, which gives the heart a spasmodic action. He thought the kidneys were affected with Bright’s disease; also from the description of Riordan’s condition he would judge he had an enlargement of the liver and an affection of the left lung.

Keeping Out of the Way.

San Francisco. Cal., July 3. —A local paper says that Eugene A. Breese, of the firm of I. W.

McGlaughlin & Co. were commission merchants and figured in the Fair wheat deal.

VICTIMIZED WITH POOR SEED.

Report That Is of Vital Interest to American Farmers. Washington, July 3.—An immense amount of poor seed is sold to American farmers and gardeners, according to a report recently issued by the agricultural department. While other countries have been looking into the subject with a view to protecting their agi-iculturists from abuses, no investigations have been made in the United States except at a few experimental stations. Great apathy prevails, however, among purchasers, who, as a rule, buy the cheapest seed in the maiw.-i and trust'to luck for it to produce tne crop. Such seed, says the report, is dear at any price and the prin.-ipai source of the hosts of bad weeds, wnusn eradication costs vastly more than the few cents a pound extra which gaud seed would have cost. The report makes the charge that American seed has acquired a poor reputation in foreign countries, in 'some of which it is difficult for it to gain a foothoid through prejudice.

Echo of Louisiana Election Cases.

Washington. July 3.—A case involving the alleged Louisiana election frauds of 1876 has been docketed in the United States Supreme court. 'tne title is Caroline P. Southworth, administratrix of John P. Southworth, vs. the United States. It is appealed from the Court of Claims and involves a claim for fees on the part of Southworth, who in 1876 was a United States commissioner. Acting in this capacity he issued 8,283 warrants for arrest tor violation of the election laws in tne twelve days from the 26th of October to the 6th of November, lie was so busy that he used a stamp instead of writing his name. The treasury department refused to allow the claim on account of this and other irregularities, and he took the case to the Court of Claims, where the decision was also adverse to him.

Yellow Fever at Santiago de Cuba.

Washington, July 3.—The United States consul at Santiago de Cuba reports that yellow fever is on the increase there, but It is impossible to give the number of cases owing to the fact that physicians in private practice.do not report.

Religious Sympathizers Raising a Fund for His Defense. London. July 3.—The trial of Jabez Balfour, Who attained world-wide fame In connection with the Liberator Building society and other colossal frauds, was today set for July 22 by Justice Collins.

Moliness Meeting.

THE MYSTIC CYCLE. Highest Grade Bicycle. Both Ladies’ and Gents’ Wheels on Exhibition or Ready for Delivery at The People’s Pilot Office. Examine Them. ///’\ / / i \ \ /» .Ug^iy*--■*- - / .\ \ . “ ’" *W, I .„' 1 .«.. * Descriptive Specifications. In presenting our ’95 model io the public, we wish to impress the fact that the Mystic is not one of the many diamond frame bicycles with which the market is now flooded, and which can be bought at almost any price. On the contrary, the Mystic is one of the finest lined, most symmetrical and highly finished machines at the disposal of intending purchasers. THE FRAME, in general appearance, is very pleasing and perfectly constructed on the latest and approved models. LARGE TUBING, of light gauge, is used throughout, and every joint reinforced. EVERY PART is made of the finest steel. OUR MECHANICS are the best in the world. OUR MACHINERY is perfect. OUR STOCKHOLDERS are men of integrity. THE HEAD is 9| inches in length, of large diameter, tight and rigid. WHEEL BASE, 44 inches. Depth.of frame, 23 inches (unless otherwise ordered), which is the standard depth for the average rider. This brings the top tubes and rear fork tubes on a level and parallel with each other, which is a pattern of neat appearance. THE TUBING is of the very best cold drawn seamless steel stock, produced from the finest quality Open Hearth Crucible Swedish Ingot. ALL SOLID PARTS are of the best quality steel, accurately machined and fitted. THE BEARINGS ate the best procurable. Bearing cases and cones are of highest grade steel, perfectly hardened and accurately fitted. THE BALLS are of the best, made by the latest Rolled Forged Method, and are the most perfect produced. THE SPOKES are the best Swaged Piano Wire Steel, capable of sustaing at. enormous high tension. THE SPROCKETS are of the highest grade Drop Forgings, accurately machine-milled to fit chain. Front sprocket is light, yet very strong and rigid. REAR SPROCKET is detachable. FINISH consists of three coats of best jet black enamel, baked on at a high temperature, all brush work (not dipped). Each coat, except last, is carefully rubbed down with felt and pumice stone, which imparts to the last coat that handsome iridescent finish •so greatly admired. ALL BRIGHT PARTS are highly polished arid given a heavy copper plate, then repolished and nickle-plaied. This prevents rustings and gives an elegant “solid” finish. WOOD RIMS. Our cycles are furnished with wood rims, unless otherwise ordered. These rims are proved and guaranteed. Steel rims, either nickel-plated or enameled. TIRES. Morgan & Wright. Vici. Webb or Dunlop. Other makes if purchaser so orders. HANDLE BAR can be furnished in either drop or raised pattern and in two widths, 16 * and 18 inches. FORK. Our Improved Fork is a design of our own, and is light with great strength. This is considered so great an improvement that we give a special drawing showing its construction. CHAIN. This is the great improvement of 1895. and we devote two pages to its description. Until you see this chain you cannot appreciate its merits. Our Improved Fork. THE CONSTRL CTION of our Fork is very light, yet exceptionally strong and rigid, being built in such a manner as to distribute all strain equally "on the different parts. FORK SIDES are all reinforced. The Morse'Chain IS THE GREAT.IMPROVEMENT OF 1*95. THIS CONNECTION IS TO A CHAIN WHAT THE PNEUMTAIC TIRE IS TO THE WHEEL. Just stop and think: No Oiling, No Binding, No Stretching. No Friction, and of course much less power to propel. Actual tests of 1894 show that in running 2,000 and 3,000 miles these chains did stretch only one-twentieth of an ihcb, and when put on factory machinery and run 5,000 miles the elongation >Was only one-eighth of an inch. '• Do you think this is a pretty large story? Well, examine the cut and' see how it works. It does not revolve around a pin, but works from the center and rocks in the pin. thus overcoming that great obstacle found in other chains. Use this chain once and you would not go back to the pin friction for half the cost of a wheel. You get a Mystic and you get this chain. Before you buy a wheel see the Morse Chain. We do not say of this chain that it is just as good, but that it is better than any other chain made, and. is worth SIS.QQ more to any wheel.
