WhUe the ninth annual contentIon of the
National Traveler& I'rotecttve association
does not convene until 11 oclock this
morning the city is aircaily overrun with
Knights ot the Grip from about every state
ttnl territory in the union. Many of them
arrived Sunday and more caine yesterday.
Their headquarters are at the Millard hotel -
tel , but the rank nndfllo divides between
this hostelry and the Murray. The largest
delegation came nt 11 oclock in the morn-
Ing. the members of which were met at
the depot and escorted to their hotels by
the local committee. After arriving and
after attending to the wants of the outer
and the Inner man , the delegates spent the
balance of the day in visiting the exposition -
tion grounds , points of interest about the
city and getting better acquainted.
The members of the National Travelers
Protective association who will take pnrt
r In the convention will aggregate about 250 ,
but with them1 most of those who are mar-
rlcd will have their wives. In addition to
Nc 4I. . nt ii , , . . 'onttnr pr there
will be in tlo neighborhood of
1.000 camp followers , representing heads of
wholesale houses , friends of the traveling
men and people who have special lines of
goods that they want to place upon the
market.
i While the traveling men are not high
. rollers , they are the jolliest lot of men
who have visited the city for a long tune
antI in a mild way , while not attending to
'
business , they propose to give the city a
carmine hue. Special decorations have been
i hung In the hotels and upon tim streets to
show the men that their visit is appreciated.
; In the hotels where they are stopping the
best is at their command and flags and
k bunting hang in great profusion about the
rotundas , in the corridors and from the
windows. On the urlucipal streets flags
made for the occasion are hung from doorways -
ways and windows. These flags have the
I I3tars and Stripes , while intcrmigled are
the words of welcome.

their "den , " North Twentieth street.
S ii. m.-'l'ho ladies of the members of the
TriLveIcrs Protective Association of Arner-
Ica will visit Liiizp'cr's , Art gallery , escorted -
corted by the ladies' reception committee.
One of the first men to arrive , and a man
who Is one of the hustlers. was Joseph
Walierstein , the national president of the
order. lie Is from Richmond , Va. , and
'liiIe he is not saying much about It himself -
self , he is a candidate for re-election and
already he has enilstett an army of workers
who propose to stay by him until he sue-
cecls. Mr. Wahiersteln's trienils soy that
ho will have a clean walk away and that
there will be hardly If any opposition to
giving him another term.
Speaking of the asocIatlon of which ho Is
the presitlezit , Mr. 'aIierstein said : :
have accomplished a great deal for our
order anti the boys who make their home on
the road. Our asociation has accomplished
more for the traveling inca thait any like
association in the country and we propose
to keep right on doing good along the same
lines. These lines are out and we do not
propose to pull them in until we have. every
traveling man in the country enrolled. Last
year we added 2,000 names to our membership -
ship and this year everything indicates that
we will do much better. We have brought
the association up to a point where it is
recognized as one of the great factors
In the country , from both a moral
and a business POiflt of view. Wo have In-
iltiecil three of the lareest railwaY systems
in flio United States to adopt. the Interchangeable -
changeable mileage ticket , and we have
other roads that are getting ready to fall
in line , so well has the plan worked. Our
Idea Is to cultivate friendly relations be-
tweda our association and the railroads and
impress the principle that our interests are
mutual. So far we have been able to do
this , and our work seems to bavo been a -
_ _ _ _ predated ,
Pleeseil avil Ii Oiiinltt.
"Our association is far-reaching In its
scope. afld Is not organized simply for the
purpose of allowing the members to get together -
gether oiico a year anti have a good tUne.
We take up unit urge legislation , secure employment -
ployment for our members who are without -
out positions and 1)10cc ) fraternal Insurance
In a company over which we have absolute
control. Last year our insurance company
paid out about 90,000 to Its members and
this year we ciIi pay out much more on no-
count of the fact that the membership has
Increased.
" \'bat do I think nout anti of Omaha ?
I think that it is one of the coming cities of
tbo United States. I havq been here beforeand
consequently I am not a stranger within the
gates. The people here are hustlers , TIm
exposition indicates this and so does everything -
thing that I see. Situated In the geograph-
lcah center of the United States , Omaha
must and will retain its Place as the great
commercial center between Chicago an
the PacifIc coast.
"Not having studied the exposition , I am
not prepared to speak of Its greatness , but ,
knowing the energy , push and ability of the
people of Omaha and the west , I feel safe
In saying that It will be a show that has
been eclipsed by only the World's fair , "
Colonel John S. l1arood of Richinoud.
\'a. , Is another of tb early arrivals , and ,
although a stranger In this vicinity , ho is
making a host of friends. The colonel is a
sure enough cohoreI , occupying the position
of colonel of Ui'j'Irginla cavalry , lie Is a
military man 'with a Iaot enviable record
antI ror two years was chief of stnff under
ex-Governor Charles T , OTerrahl , . Thu
colonel is a pohiticiau and Is popular In ida
home atate , as well as wherever
he iii known , lie represented lila
district in the Virginia legislature for
tour aucLcaaive ) ear $ and would
have been elected again , had he not declined
te honor. lie is one of President VaIler-
steln'a airongeat advocatea for the position
I : the PISlddUCY , and has already corn-
-
meneed organizing the campaign , conducting
It in a most vigorous manner.
Colonel lltrwood ta a great admirer of
General rltzhugh Lee and never tires of
telling anecdotes In connection with the sea-
eral's life. lie and the general live but a
block apart in the city of Richmond , and
are the warmest kind of friends.
One Country nnd One Plnr.
Regarding the war with Spain , Colonel
Ziarwood said , ° It In only a question of a
abort time when the United States will win
and will fly the stars and stripes from Morro
castle. The unpleasantness with Spain ha
united the nation , and It has resulted In
moving the Mason-Dixon line up to seine
part near the north pole. It has made us
feel that we are all members of one family ,
whose purpose is' ' to have one nation , one
peOlIO and one flag.
'This Is my first visit as tar
north and , west , but I want. to
say right hero that this Is a
grand country : It is a revelation and I don't
blame people for liking to live hero. If it
was not for the fact that I am wedded to
the south , I think that I would come here
nail live. I like the people , who are so tree-
hearted , pu3hing and hirosperous ; I like
the broad , fertile acres that seem capable of
producing everything in abundance and
above all , I like the fresh and Invigorating
atmosphere.
" 1 have not yet visited the oxpo3itlon. but
I Intend to do so several times before I return -
turn home , In fact , I am a committee to
visIt this exposition and report. DurIng the
summer many Virginians will be here and I
Intend to do all in my power na an advertis.
lag agency to spread the Information of the
importance of the affair. "
Living as ho does , so near Washington ,
Colanel liarwood has had much to do with
the work of promoting legislation for the
order of whIch lie is a member. Speaking
of such legislation , lie said : "There are
several measures that wo hope to get
through congress , much of which would have
been accomplished at the present session of
congress It the war had not monopolized the
attention of the country and the country's
representatives. We want a law passed
creating the omen of secretary of
commerce. We want the official to be a
member of the cabinet. Such a bill has been
introduced and Is already on the calendar
for passage. There Is a secretary of ngrl-
culture nod there Is no reason why there
should not be a secretary of commerce to
look after our trade relations with foreign
countries. In addition' to this we want a
legation building in the City of Mexico.
Other countries have their buildings there
and there Is no reason why we should ho
behind the foreIgners in this matter. The
location nod erection of such a building
would do much to advance our trade relations -
tions with the republic of Mexico and would
help us in many oilier ways. A bill for the
erection of such a building has been Introduced -
duced and Ia on the calendar for passage. "
% 'eV OrIennN lii the Field.
New Orleans has shied Its castor into the
ring anti has entered the race for the na-
tionai convention of 1899. While no other
piaco is seeking the focatiea at this time ,
Louts Ocha , who represents the Crescent
City , is working Just as hard as though
there were a dozen other Places in the fight.
Ho cothes armed wIth invitations from the
mayor. the cIty council and all of the trade
organizations. In addition to this he
has brought along 200 live alligators that he
proposes to give to the members who sup-
port the city of his choice. Mr. Ochs has
opened his headquarters at the Millard , and
is making it pleasant for all who call.
Although the smallest state in the union
and the one that Is about the most distant
from Omnha , itbode Island has' two delegates
already on the ground , both of whom are
boomers. They are George H ; GrantandI
13. Lawton. These two men are thdch
sought after , as they are the dispensers of
badges that the delegates say take the cake.
Tim badges In question are small AmerIcan
flags , beautifully enameled. In addition to
these badges , Mr. Lawton has a special one
for "Horse Shoe Jake , " of Denver. The man
wIth this alias Is the oldest western travel-
tog man on the road , and is one of the oldest
members of the association.
Several years ago Mr. Lawton was desig-
noted as the proper party to secure and present -
sent to "Horse Shoo Jake" a badge upon
the convening of each convention , Each
year he has done this very same thing , and
now he is on hand again. The badge Is an
enameled llng , from which Is suspended
a small rubber bag , shaped like
a Rhode Island clam , upon
each side of which is the word , "Jake. " The
interesting thing about the clam Is that
when ilbced in water and squeezed , It fills
itself , anti when squeezed again , the water
is ejected In a small stream. The taco of
the button that holds the badge on the lapel
of the coat is in the form of a four-leaf
clover , around the gold rIm of which Is engraved -
graved in gold , the words , "Good Luck , "
set in the shape of a horseshoe.

When Police Captainilaze was informed
yesterday of the Plans of Thomas Allison's
dupes to refuse to prosecute bini upon his
returning to them their money ho was very
indignant. Allison Is the man who conducted
a fake employment agency known as the
Clerks' Co-operative association and by his
alleged peculiar fraudulent methods secured
nearly $1,000 from several hundred people
before the police discovered the fraud. Cap-
tab haze consulted Assistant Baited States
A1torney Rush to see what could be done in
the matter when he found that justice wdIll
be defeated in the polIce court , and ( lie hatter -
ter decided that Allison could be held by
the United States' authorIties on a chiargo
of using the mails for the purpose of fraud.
ComplaInt was sworn out to this charge by
Captain lInac and Allison was taken before
United States Commissioner Anderson , and
Ills bond was fixed at $1,000. Not being able
to furnish the bond he was taken to the
county jail. Ho will have an arraignment
this afternoon before Commissioner Antler-
son.
