THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELER , Somewhat Sensational Death of a Child of the load. A BRILLIANT OAEEEE IS KIPPED. Some PolntH IVlicro Several of the lloyn Were Imut "Week As to H Cocktail More About TlintMHcnKO Ticket. d tn the same room whore It was born , ninl'l tlio flrst wintry portlcm of A. D. 18'JO , the Omaha Traveling Men's club , only child of 000 should-hiivc-becn beloved und ten Jcrcst foster parents In the pcmons of trav eling men. Ciutso of death , neglect on the part of WiO of Its sliouliMiavc-bccn foster friends. Deceased left an estate valued nt about tftW In spot cash , which will bo cquitn- [ lily divided among the o who , during the lilfjli noon of Its perspective , knew It only to Jove It und tried with all their power to make its life a rattling success. Often happens It that the brightest flower Withers the soonest ; the rarer the fruit , the inoro nipid Its decay ; the moro tranquil the day , the likelier the cyclone ; the better the little boy. the more brilliantly certain Is he of speedy adoption by the fcTeat reaper whoso name Is Death. And these silvery whiskered bits of ex- ngKcration have been verified all over again. The move for an Omaha traveling men's club , which started seine three months rigo nnd rerimtly culminated in so truly hopeful a manner , is today In the same condition that the dust was after being kissed by the ruin. Its name is mudl The child has been ailing for nenrty a month and there was a prospect that it would continue ailing indefinitely. A proclamation was issued by President Lobcck calling for a consultation of Its progenitors. That consul tation was had last Saturday night in the parlors of the Hotel Casey. There was a line pointed , a bare quorum present. After much discussion it was decided to smother the little ono and thus save its friends fur ther anxiety. It was so awkward , you know , for many of those who were in at the bomin' to have to forego the pleasure of losing n "fiver" or "tenner" nt high flvo a night or two a month just to sit up with the kid. kid.Fiftyfour traveling men nnd twenty-two Jobbing firms who pledged themselves black nnd white to heartily aid and in every way support the club have gonu wholly and com pletely back on that pledge.As : i result , the club failed to get $ > ii : which the officers thought was as good as wheat. It was sug gested , and even strongly urged , at lost Sat- urdav night's funwal , that the names of these gentlemen bo published. The suggestion was pushed by two directors of the club. Cooler Judgment prevailed , however. Any free born American eititizcn or a Hottentot for that matter is at liberty to go back on a little affair of S3 or S12 if ho desires. In other words , it is nobody's business if mi Omaha traveling man or jobber takes a notion to whoop 'er up nnd get his name in the paper as red-hotly in favor of having a club , and then when it comes to a show down , to give the tiling thu double cross. To the lasting nnd great credit of the oOlccra of the now cold and clammy Omaha Traveling Men's club , it can only and over be said that they worked like horses to nfake the very plau&ihlo venture a magnificent success. Abundant , proof of this is found in the fact that at the time of its decease the club had a , paid up membership of forty traveling mc'ii and forty-one Jobbers and 037 in its treasury to disband and disburse. That there will bo a phoenix addenda to this unfortunate uITair is believed. A pros perous club is desirable , not simply to pro vide a comfortably furnished reading , loung ing nnd card-playing suite of apartments , 1ml for the purpose of placing the WK ) gentlemen who travel out of Omaha in a position to stand for , demand nnd secure privileges such as now are denied them simply because tlii'i nro now banded together in no way , shapeor manner as Omaha traveling men. A strong thoroughgoing organization will probably spring from the * affair whlei Is now a thing of the past. Sucl nn orgfmizntion could say to those who now make a practice of imposing upor traveling men in a hundred various anil wel Icnw.vn ways : "Let up on this thing or wo will taku away the patronage of every travel ing man tvho enters your town. " There ait several items of legislation that the traveling men need , and need badly. Thuy coitld bo of footed with ease If the traveling men o Omaha wore enlisted togetherin a club or any sort of an organization whatsoever. That Commercial Ticket. The universal commercial ticket , for the adoption of which national legislation Is nov being sought , is something which will cer tainly interest all readers of this dcpartmcn nnd the traveling public generally. The fol lowing clause is taken from the bill recently Introduced into congress by Koprcscntativb Cimitli : Nothing in this act shall bo con sti-ued to prohibit any common carrier Iron giving to commercial travelers , whether cm ploycr or employe , who travel to sell mer chandlso for a wholesale business , taking or. dew for goods for subsequent delivery , re duced rates for transportation through the medium of a ticket or coupon Imok , prepam expressly for that purpose , available for no less than ! i,500 miles of travel , at li cents i > or mile , or mileage to the amount of ? .

Dctwcller's farewell crmon at Kountzo Memorial church last light was , "God Is Love. " To begin with , t Is Impossible for us to comprehend the lime vhen first God began to love man , If for a Moment we stop to consider , It takes us back 0 long before the tlmo when Adam and Eve 'ound their homo in the garden of Eden. It Was ages nnd ages before ; man was created , even farther back than wo can think. It was everlasting , and If any man knows what this neans , then he can set the time when God's eve begun. The next question Is , "why docs .iotllovo usl" The answer is this , God is .ove. The trco bears fruit according to Its kind : .ho ox cats grass because it is his iwturo and .he lion cats llcMh , whllo oven niuu develops according to his nature , and thus It is with God. Ho loves us because it is His nature to do so. God's love does not depend upon tis. Jfou may think that to gain His love you must first love Him , but this is not so , for God la not a being to retaliate by giving u blow for a blow. It is not how must wo love God , but how lie loves us. The parent loves the child moro than the ; : hild loves the parent , simply because the heart of the parent is larger and more capable of love ; God loved the disciples moro than : hcy loved Him , nil of which was caused by the fullness of his great heart which con tained that immeasurable love. God loves mnn in spite of nil of his sins , mil the man who preaches that God does not love sinners or teaches children that God does not love them because they nro naughty , pronounces a libel upon His holy name. Many a child has been saved by n parent's love , but not 0110 was ever saved by a par ent's hatred. God's love is even greater than that of the parent , and this is the rea son why Ho loves us moro than we love Him. "How much docs God love usl" Think of the love of the father who tenderly cares for Ills children and watches them during their tender years ; tlio mother who pi-esses her little , shapely lirst-born to her bosom nnd covers it with kisses ; the bridegroom who goes out into the world with the woman of his choice , and you have a love that is great , but even it falls far short of the love of God for us. us.If you ask how I know of this great love , 1 answer , "He sent His only , and dearly be loved Son to die Chat wo might be saved from sin. " iVny true-hearted father would give all his valuable possessions to save Ills beloved son , but would he give his son to suvo others ? Tnis is what God did to save such rebels as wo are. His-love w.is so great that Ho al lowed His son to die , that sinners might bo saved. This son , who had been ignored and wounded by His enemies died with prayers upon his lips , asking God , his father , to save Ills enemies. There is a pretty tradition that the man who pierced Christ's side with a spear , and the men who drove nails through his feet , were afterwards converted and saved. Do you think this was too much ? If any prayer was ever answered , do you not think that of our Savior would bo when ho said , "God forgive them , they know not what they do I" Every self-acknowledged sinner may be come a follower of God if ho will only base his love upon the love God has for him , as God's love is unchanged and is as endless as the world in which we live ; but the love of man is like the flro on the hearth , now brightly blazing and now going out , but not so with the love of God. Don't listen to Satan when ho tells you that God docs not love sinners , for for 0.000 years he has been telling man that God is angry with those who sin. If you will think for n moment how God has suffered for the sous of the world you cannot doubt His love , for Ho can no more help lov ing you than the sun refuse to shine. Love begets love and it is ono thing for mete to tell you that God loves you and another thing for you to believe it , but if man will consider tlio nature of God , His words and what Ho has done to save the sins of the world , ho must realize that the love of God is of the greatest magnitude. Therefor , I say to the sinner in hell , ns well as tothesaint who enjoys glory everlasting , God is love. Don't Kvncriiiicnt AV'ltli the Throat nnd lungs.

CAMAWAT , Neb. , April 2r.--Spccial [ Tele gram to Tim Bun. ] Work on the Kearney & Black Hills railroad is being vigorously pushed and cars will bo running into Calhi- way by the 15th of August. Surveyors are busy laying out and plattlngtho new addition adjoining the town on the west , belonging to what is known as the Callaway Improvement company. The depot has been located on the new addition. Graders are at work within n milo of town , and the quiet frontier village is a tiling of the past. An liniictiis has been given business lu every line , and the dcmaud for business houses and residences cannot bo supplied. County division is Inevitable , and this place has bold aspirations for the new county seat. The present indications nro that this town will have the best boom of any town in Central Nebraska this season , und will undoubtedly be the best town west of Kcarncv. A second largo milling nnd manufacturing company is being organized and will utilize the best natural water power , now in the state as found in. the South Loup river nt this point. This company proposes to bring the water through n large canal along the bluffs , tap the river several miles above the town , and erect a 200 barrel mill on the track of the new railroad. With this power they also in tend to use a dynamo that will operate the combined mill and elevator and with this dynamo run all the machinery that eastern capitalists can bo induced to place in the town , nnd at the same time light the town with electric lights. The parties composing the Callaway Improvement company repre sent over $1,000,000. Notes from Crawford. CIUVFOUD , Neb. , April 24. [ To the Editor of Tne BKU. | Your issueof the 20th contains some very interesting remarks on irrigation , by W. D. Wildman. tbming to us as it docs , " in the midst of a rainy season that has already lasted ten days it would hardly occur to a stranger that rcmnrks'on the unreliability of the rainfall in western Nebraska would apply to this vicinity. But as a matter of fact they apply to a much larger territory than ono would imagine from the wonderful produc tion of certain districts * A well regulated irrigating system provides moisture for crops at the times they are needed most. It allows a farmer to mature his crops nt the most propitous time. It al lows the farmer to grow such crops us the soil is best adapted to , crops which , if dependent upon natural rainfall , might not he watered at the proper time and could not bo grown. It allows the farmer to make n care ful study of the nmounf'of water which would give the best results for different crops , and to regulate accordingly. Never in the his tory of this country hns the prospect for a big crop been so sure nnd wo have every reason to belinve that this summer will put our town on the same basis with older towns of eastern Nebraska. Negotiations nro pending with several parties with a view to the erection of a $10.- 000 hotel n bonus of $ v',000 is offered by the town , From this point travelers can branch out for Chudron and east , Douglass and west , Alliance and south , Newcastle nnd the northwest , and when the new branch of the B. & M. is completed to Custcr , Lead City and Deadwood , and the extension from Newcastle to Buffalo is finished , both of which are under construc tion. This will then bo the centre of a very large country , into which the traveling pub lic can best go by starting from Crawford. This largo seotion of which Crawford Is the centre should bo Jealously watched by the wholesale houses of Omaha. Hero is a coun- trv which rightfully belongs to Omaha , und which she should absolutely control. Why should Omaha allow St. Joseph , Kansas Citv , St. Paul and Chicago to sell goods in her own territory ? Omaha should wako up and look to her own. IluHlness Ijookiii Up at Orel. Oun. Nob. , April 25. [ Special to THE BKK. ] With the advance of the season busi ness is improving and a good deal of building Is going on in und around Ord. Since spring oiwncd Ord lumber yards hnvo sold over two hundred thousand feet of lumber. Her stockmen have also shipped over the Union Pacific and B. & M. lines sixty-four car loads of stock- . Scarcely it week passes but two or three special stock trains pull out of Ord depot for Omaha.

[ Special Tele gram to TUB Bir. : . ] The second Sunday Uro alarm was sounded at 5 o'clock this evening. The ilro was located this time iu Congress man Dorsey's fine brick block , corner of Sixth nnd Main streets. Its origin was in the room In the rear of the Farmers' and Merchants' bank , used by Mr. Dorsoyns his privale ofllco. The prompt response of the fire department saved the building. The banking rooms , Mr. Dorsey's ofllce and the apartments occupied by the Nebraska Mortgage and Investment company were considerably damaged by smoke and water , while the Herald ofllcc , In 'the hasomont , was flooded. The loss is fully covered by insurance. It is supposed the ilro j Wits caused by the spontaneous combustion of some rags saturated with linseed oil , which had been thrown under a washstund in a cor ner of the room , there being no fires in any of the stoves or furnaces in the building.

Job Turner , a deaf rnuto Episcopal clergyman , who is located at Staunton , Va. , preached at Trinity cathedral last night to a largo congregation. About seventy-live deaf mutes were present from the institute. The sermon was delivered by Hcv. Turner in the sign language and Dean Gardner read it aloud ut the same time. Ilov. Turner is engaged in doing missionary work through the south , and is now on his way to Fulton , Mo. , from whence ho will go to Memphis and Now Orleans. He is a very intelligent man , and his sermon lust nigtit was a jKU-fect gem. The reverend speaker is about sixty-five years of age , with a beauti ful benevolent countenance , undis n man of flno presence. Hihair is silvered with the frosts of many winters and his kindly heart looks out through eyes filled with benevolence. His gestures are very graceful and expressive , and ure easily understood even bv those who are not raised in the only language ho .speak ? . Ho inter preted the entire sgrvico lor his audience , even to the singing. "Ho chose for the subject of his sermon the phrase , "I took the wings of the morning. " Ho related , his experience during a trip to Europe , and the many things which hud como under his notice , bearing upon the question of the instruction of deaf mutes. The sermon was short , but it was filled from beginning to end with word paintings , all bearing upon the afllictiou under which he nnd u part of his audience were laboring. Applications in a religious sense , were inndo of all the cir cumstances nnd details , and the sermon con cluded with an appeal to the congregation to accept of the true faith us outlined. At the conclusion of the service , thc rev erend gentleman took each of the deaf mutes by the hand and evidently said a kind word to each , judging from the pleased look which appeared upon their faces. Itev. I rnrtln'rt Farewell. The Ucv. A. Martin of the First Christian church preached his farewell sermon yester day morning , preparatory to his departure to other fields. The subject-chosen was "Fo the Church. " Under this head the speaker g.-tvo his congregation good sound advice on their course toward the church and the best way to further Its interests Ho said they should by all means pray for the church nnd endeavor by ovcry moans in their power to advance it. They should also pay money towards the support of the church. There were three classes , ho said , who ucver pay towards the support of their church those who are unable to do so ; those who refuse to promise , and those who promise but won't pay. All these classes should be brought to the proper appreciation of thu need of their support for the church. Another wav of bringing the church forward , ho said , was to talk about it and about the pastor. They should bo made the subject of conversation and brought into pub lic notice. Above all things , the members of the church should attend regularly. A largo attendance spake louder in favor of the church than anything else which could bo done. It was necessary , ho said in conclusion , that thu members bo united and harmonious. Much could bo douo if till worked together , but dissensions and bickering could only re sult disastrously. Mr. Mm tin leaves this morning for DCS Molncs and will deliver a lecture at Drake university. ' From there he will go to several points in Illinois und lucturo. During the greater part of May ho will bo engaged in holding revival meetings at Wai-saw , Ind. Ho has not yet decided where ho will locate per manently.
