Tn March of Information conecrnlngsn Alleged rpinarknlilovcnt that happened In the Kainoinl Hotel , ronierof Hlxtecnth and Websterstu , the reporter made hln way to that place and met the engineer , Mr. KiiRrno Mather , who. It had been rt'ported , was closely connected with the event. " 1 iinileratunil you were very near death's door , Mr. Mnther. " observeil the writer. "That was true , " was the reply.o nnd , after a moment's thought , ho concltulril tlmt he would bo ufiling to giro for publication all the factH connected with the event. "To begin nt the beginning " "Well , T can't rny Just when my trouble originated , but It was Bomi'thlng over two yearn ngo Hint I llrnt uottcitd more or le'S Impairment of tlic appetite ; naiuea anil vomiting a liquid cuntiitnltiK bile anil Bour water.

That Is what I am glad to tell you about , hwanso I think It Isof Interest to the people tci know * that there Is a euro for such a disease , About two months a jo I vfslted and placvd myself under Dr. McCoy's treatment. You ran heo the results for yourself. I began to Improve ut once , and rout 'nueil to Improve right along until today I feel us much like a new mnn as the difference between daylight and dark ness. " "I can. " continued Mr. Mather. 'Vay there Is no doubt la my mind but that Dr. McCoys treat ment Is both prucltcal and scientific , and that and that every promise he makes to his patients are fully and tlatthfnlly carried out on his part. " Mr. Mather , ns above stated , can bo found at the Kxnioud hotel , corner Slxteenh and Webster htH.where ho will corroboiato the nbove.

SATURDAY MARKET FIGURES , Wheat Shows Activity and Strength In the Morning. FOREIGN ADVICES ENCOURAGING. A Narrow ltnn o In the Price of Corn and Very Ijlttlo Business Done Cattle Trading Slow Quotations. CHICAGO rnouucE MARKET. CIIICAOO , Feb. It. [ Special Telegram to the Ur.K. ] The whcut tnnrkct opened this morning with considcraljlo activity and some show of strength. Foreign advices were en couraging. The Now York market was steady nnd advancing und exporting houses were buying wheat hero and there was good buyIng - Ing curly for New York account. The advance wus small , however , nnd after the first hour even this wus nearly nil lost und the pit bo- cuino lifeless and dull , with no feature what ever to the market. Tbero was said to bti some selling later for foreign account , but business for outside was of small volume and nothing interesting Is to bo expected from local traders on a Saturday. Hutchinson wag both buying and selling wheat , but as he bought nt higher prices than ho sold and sparingly it was thought that the pur chases wera ruthcr to sustain -the prices for some reason of his own than because ho wanted the wheat. This i view was rather corroborated by his selling 250,000 bushels of May In ont lot to Lindblooin at SOJjtfiMle when 81o was bid In the pit at the sumo"time. . May wheat opened at Slo and after soiling'at 80 > ( < 8lc gradually worked up toSl fe , then slowly de clined , touching buc shortly before the close , but u small reaction followed and the close was at 81 ( < Sl } < e. Juno whcut oi > ened with 81Xe bid , sola at 81 ( gSlc , and closed With nn entire.range of prices covered by } { c not much was to be expected from the corn market and there was not much done. For this state of affairs the crowd united to blame Hntchtnson. That erratlo trader odcrcd to buy ull they wanted to sell for May delivery at 51\c nnd sell them all they wanted to buy nt.M c. With only a moder ate amount of business to be done for outside account such a proiKisitlon was a dcadencr to trade. The sentiment seemed to bo rather bullish and the light receipts wore encourag ing to holders. There wus good buy ing early , some of it by exporting houses , but prices never advanced more than Jc above the opening figures und the close was a trifle lower. Mai' corn opened at 51J c , ranged between that price and 51c during ull the curly part of the session , then advanced to 6t e ana fell backtoSWc , where It closed. Juno corn openi-d at r > 19 ( jt GlKc. The high point was 514@31o bid , the low Bljtfc and the close 51 } c. There was a very quiet but steady market in oats , with fluctuations amounting to } { c. May oats opened and closed at 31j c , which was fractionally above yesterday's close , and during the session ranged between 31) c and Jll c. Juno oats ranged between 3l'o and 81Xe , closing nt the last named price. The provision trade closed the week in a rather slow manner. For cash delivery there was some Increase In the demand , but speculation was under an average volume and without special feature. Lard was depressed n little by free offerings by a promi nent trader and closed 2 c lower than last night's prices. In suort ribs a decline ol 2JlR5c ( was also suffered. Pork was steadj nnd unchanged. In the moderate future business transacted May was the favorite delivery. It sold for pork nt Sl4.3-y4@14.40 , for lard at $7.80@7.8T , and for short ribs at * 7.00@7.orj . The same month closed for short ribs und lard ut the lowest prices touched and for pork at $14.35. For neurci deliveries than May , final quotations stood al $14.10 for February nnd March pork. $7.05 foi February nuu March lard , * 7.12K for Feb ruary short ribs and $7.45 for March shorl ribs. Junu lard was quoted ut the close at $7.SK nd Juno short ribs at $7.07 . Cash lard sold quite fairly. CHICAGO LilVK STOCK. CIIICAOO , Feb. 11.

[ Special Telograu to the Ben. ] STOCKS There was hardl ; enough business on the New York stock ex changu to create the impression that thcr WHS u market , the sales being 27tOO ! share for two hours , the lightest over known. St Paul furnished 2,500 shares and Ruiidlni 4,800 shares. Outside of these two stock nothing of consequence was noted. The bij traders left the market In disgust , dcclurini It too stupid to pay attention to , and said Urn those who depended upon u living on th < dully fluctuations found decidedly scant ; picking. The pools that were said to b' working numerous specialties did nothing for there wus no use trying to trado. Rot cutting stories from the west continue uumer ous , the .situation instead of Improving i getting worse ana the Indications are that th end is us far off us over. The Northwester ! made a 20 cent first-class rate to St. Paul Minneapolis and Duluth und the roads run ning to the Mississippi river quote a 80 > f con rate.

The gcnrral tone wai bearish and declines of K@X per cent wore recorded. The decrease In reserves of th New York banks was regarded as a bcnrisl argument , but the largo Increase In leant shows that Instead of the money bcmglockcc up In banks it Is finding employment In yurl ous channels that will In the end probably re suit advantageously to the bulls.

Weekly Trade Itevlow. Commercial circles in this city hnvo boon quite active during the present wcck lthough the volume of business done Is not appar ently as great as the week preceding. Whole sale firms are for the most part engaged In replenishing their stocks to meet demands for early spriuij delivery which are even now beginning to come In , and nearly all ot tha class mentioned are unanimous in tho- opinion that the present season wlll be n most prosperous one. At present the tone of the market on all lending lines is very healthy n-ul while values In other cities have fluctu ated to u considerable extent , prices on nearly all classes of general merchandise have re mained nearly steady. Prices on grain have remained steady during the week with onu exception , rye easing off 'a point. While there is not much of n demand for grain on this market at present the outlook Is very en couraging for u new mill going into opera tion in a few days with n capacity of font hundred barrels. Otnahu had , previous to the absorption of the Her distillery by the trust , enjoyed an unchanged market on spirits , but since that event prices have changed in uni son with other markets. Hides and fun are unchanged with but little doing. Other lines < of general merchandise arc moving out moru freely. It was believed that when the cut In rates was established that prices would un dergo n change , but none has yet 'occurred. Groceries and dry goods are In about the same condition as during last week.
