Speculator in Exposition Bailrod Tickets

E. K. Holmes , arrested on the charge of
Irregularity In connection with the sale of
railway tickets , nnd who was brought before -
fore Judge Vlnronhnlcr In the county court
Thursday nfterncon , was sent back to jail
yesterday to tiwalt trial In the district
court. Holmes' preliminary examination
resulted In his being held for further In
vestigation. Bond was fixed at $2,000 , which
ho could not give.
The prosecuting witness was James E.
llltt , a ticket broker from St. Joseph , Mo.
Mr. Hltt testified that ho had received from
'f Holmes a consignment cf bcgus tickets over
< ; the Burlington and Santa Ko railroads ,
A
which came about as the result of the cheap
loitcs that were made for the exposition In
Omaha. Ho was called upon by det ctlves ,
lie said , who'asked him what he knew
nbout Holmes. For reply he gave them the
conBlgnment of tickets , which amounted to
about O.OQO miles. From the evidence thus
secured the railroad passenger agents and
the secret service force worked up the
case that landed Holmes In jail.
Mr. Hltt w-as subjected to rigid cross-
nxamlnatlon by the attorneys who repre
sented Holmesf but Uo did not waver In
the story ho told In 'the beginning.
According to the ovldenco the manner In
which Holmes manipulated tickets was moat
clever. He Is nald to have had the most ex
pert lot of tools In the country , nnd by his
method , so the ovldenco showed , he could
fill up n punch mark made by a conductor
nnd by n punch of his own make a mark
that would extend the ticket for any length
of tlmo , just to suit his fancy.

The annual conclave of Nebr.ifka and Iowa
Implement dealers terminated Friday. The
final executive session of the convention oc- !
currcd In the morning , at which officers for
the year were elected as follows : President ,
L. J. Blowers of David City , Neb. ; vice
ptesldent , N. L. Malowncy , Essex , la. ; di
rectors , Gus Dabsou , Seward , Neb. ; II. P.
Shumwny , Wakcneld , Neb. , and O. D. Ayers ,

Resolutions were adopted expressing the
thanks of the convention to the press , the
Jobbers , the local entertainment committee
and others who had contributed to the com
fort and enjoyment of the delegates. I
The directors met early yesterday afternoon - !
noon and re-olccjod Secretary-Treasurer
McLaughlln for the fifth term. Mr. Mc-
Laughlln has been the leading spirit In the
organization for yeiirs nnd has at times
kept It' allvo by his Individual efforts and
irciins. |
An open session was held during the afternoon - '
ernoon nt Mornnd's hall , which partook of
u social character. The new president , Mr.
Blowers , wrm In the chair. A quartet of
colorol .nen In the gallery supplied vocal
nnd instrumental music.
J. A. Craig , general manager of the Janes-
vlllo Machlna company , was called upon
and spoke for sotno time on reforms neces
sary In the business of the manufacturer ,
the Jobber and the retailer. Business , eald
ho , must bo conducted along new lines , em
bodying hlcber prices , lower discounts ,
shorter credit time- and advanced freights ,
nil of which necessitate larger capital. Mer
chants must look more closely after their
discounts , however small ; must limit credits
nnd eeo that the interest balance Is on the
right side of the ledger nnd must
dispose of machinery on hand ,
which was secured at better than
"
the prices now prevailing , nt the
figures which It would lake to replace It.
The Implement man's mlllenlum , which all
Jiad long hoped for but few had expected to
BCO , has arrived nnd ho should prepare to
take advantage of it.
I3 | ln inn ! Thrlr Ilciiu-illi-N ,
F. D. Suydain of Toledo , O. , connected
with the -Mlllburn Wagon company , spoke
for nearly nn hour on "Kvlls nnd Their
I Remedies. " Ills address was decidedly en-
| tertdlnlng even to these who were not
present as Implement dealers. He thought
that from catalogue houses , cinccrnlng
which so much has been said by the Im
plement men , the latter have nothing to
fear , for every Implement man Is able to
duplicate the quality of goods they sell at
the prices they demand and ithe same cash ,
teims. Ho thought the dealer has no Just
ground of complaint against the branch
housu established by manufacturer or
Jobber , and said that the commission man
competition Is euro to wear Itself out t\u
uuprofltablo to manufacture and Jobbers.
The evils appear to be due to the great
variety of machines made , the ambition
oi the makera to get a fiharo ot the trade
and the -tendency to consider the farmer
an easy mark , lie spoke strongly against
the granting of long credit as an Injury
both 40 the dealer and tnci farmer. Men
tioning Uic evils that ulUlct the Jobber
and manufacturer , ho Insisted that dealers |
should pay them with New York exchange
Instead of checks upon local banks , should
comply with the requirements of notes for
all accounts running over thirty days and
should be careful In seeing that repair
bills against the manufacturers nrc Just.
The manufacturer and dealer ought to go
hand in hand , and he had been sorry to
note when ho came to the convention that
the doors were closed against him nt some
of Us sessions. He en mo as an accredited
representative of the National Association
of Implement and Vehicle Manufacturers.
Ho believed that the utmost harmony and
confidence should prevail between the ro- ,
taller and the manufacturer and Jobber. |
CrfllltN DlMMIHMCll.
Harry O'Neill of Omaha read an address
on "Credits , " from n lawyer's standpoint ,
In which ho urged that credit Is too cheap
and said that business men too little real
ize its value ns capital and were , therefore ,
not as careful of It as its value would jus
tify. He criticised the .methods of com- |
merclal agencies in securing Information ,
concerning business credit , showing how
this business originated. A New York '
traveling man had made It a point to ascer
tain the financial standing of his customers ,
keeping careful memoranda thereof. lie
found that demands were made upon his
Information by other firms than that for
which ho was employed and determined to
embark In the business of selling Informa
tion. It became necessary to secure In
formation cheap and this was djiie through
lawyers In the respective communities , who
were Induced to supply it ill return for rec
ommendations to patrons from abroad. The
two leading agencies are paying dividends
upon a capitalization of $3,000,000hllo
their assets would hardly reach $100 000 ,
and their yearly dividends exceed the.
amount ndtunlly Invested. The address was
replete with useful suggestions for the
preservation of one's business credit and
was evidently appreciated.
IU-V. 'I'rt'tt on "Olil nnil X MV. "
Rev. 13. F. Trcfz closed the program with
-v discussion of "Tho Old and the New"
and In a scries of comnarlsous of present day
affairs with those of past decades ho said
jocularly that farming has become something
oi a sedentary occupation and that the ne-
cerulty Is being considered of establishing
a gymnasium upon each farm to enable
the farmer to secure the necessary amount
of exercise , whllo years ago they tollc.il
incessantly. He believed that the day will
como when the farmer will have In hU honib
a series of electric buttons nnd will da
his farming by touching them alternately.
Ho will touch one button nnd the plow will
go forth to prepare the soil for the plantIng -
Ing , and another button will send out the
planter. Then the farmer will go awa >
to bpend the summer , returning In the fall ,
and during his abaenco the hired man will ,
by touching n button , produce rain to >
moisten ( he fields. In the- autumn the
farmer will touch a button and the harvest
will begin. The speaker did not sympa
thize with the too common complaint con
cerning the growth of the era of machinery.
Each machine- Invented curtails the quan
tity of human toll. Each Invention opens
up new avenues of Industry. The discovery
of the powers of electricity has afforded
new employment for thousands of men , such
as telegraph operators and electricians. The
machine la the great emancipator of thn
human race. The speaker closed with &
reference to the great Importance of pre j
serving one's Integrity and manhood In
every business as the greatest success that i
can be achieved. j

Last evening a reception was tendered
the vUltora at the rooms of the Commer
cial club , which were filled to overflow ng
Kith retail Implement dealers , j bbors ,
manufacturers and drummers , So dense
was the crowd that progrca through the
room was attended with considerable dif
ficulty. Clusters of great palms were scat-
tciM throughout the apartments and the
Sutoruts Mandolin club enlivened the oc
casion. Two mammoth punch bowls were
constantly surrounded nnd needed frequent
replenishment. Cigars were dispensed to
nil in attendance and luncheon was served
in the rear banquet hall. Arrangements
had been made for a modest entertainment
by a quartet from the Orpheum theater ,
but owing to the Indisposition of one of the
performers It was necessary to forego this
feature of the evening's enjoyment. As It
was , the committee on arrangements , which
Included Messrs. P. L. Loomls , C. 0. Hlb-
bard and P. M. Price and a small regiment
of traveling representatives of local Imple
ment houses , headed by W. E. Foster of the
John Deere Plow company , afforded n very
creditable entertainment.
COURT UPHOLDS SETTLEMENT
Context Over the Knrtnnc of a IlriMver
Thrown Out hy the
KANSAS CITY , Jan. 12. The suit brought
four years ago by Ferdinand A. Helm , ad
ministrator of the estate of Michael Helm ,
deceased , the big East St. Louis brewer ,
against Joseph J. Helm , executor of the
estate of Ferdinand Helm , sr. , Joseph J.
Helm , Ferdinand Helm , jr. , nnd Michael G.
Helm , has boon dismissed by Judge Slover
lu the district court. Judge Slover finds that
the estate has been properly administered
and assesses the costs In the suit ngnlnst the
plnlntllf.
The fortune over which the parties to the
suit have been contending was amassed by
the brothers , Michael and Ferdinand Helm ,
In the brewery business In East St. Louis ,
III. In 188,1 Michael Helm died Interstate
and the estate was not settled for over ten
years , when the widow , now Mrs. Anna
Hel'.n-McArlhur , of Los Angeles , Gal. , and
her two tons accepted $10.'i,000 In full settle
ment f r their shares. The contention raised
in the suit Just disposed of was that this
Bum was Inadequate and that the value of
their Interests In the brewery was worth
much more.

These nro the days of nnd this Is the sea
son of the year for Institutes of arts and
sciences and In those Institutes are many
mansions called sections. The multiplicity
of sections Is In proportion to the multi
plicity of the arts and sciences , \\hlch nro
over multiplying.
Within the last few weeks , reports the
Now York Tribune , one ot the leading insti
tutes of New York City has been busy In
UK section of philately with u most Inter
esting lecture. Philately Is quite different
from telepathy , nor Is It , ns many of the vul
gar think , a mania ; It Is , on the authority
of this lecture , a science. Like politics , In
the words of Count Smorltork , It "surprises
by himself" a study of great magnitude. It
appears to be onn of those studies to which
a man may devote n lifetime , to the exclu
sion of all others even grammar without
even getting to thii bottom of It. In fact , the
author of this lecture In ono passage Impllea
nn uncertainty as to whether It has any
bottom.
TheflM statements , of course , apply only
to advanced philately , of which the nimplo
collectors nnd stickers In of for
eign postage stamps have no
moro Idea than n newsboy has of
military press censorship. "The study now
for advanced collectors , " sayo n return' ) of
the above mentioned lecture , "must to In
the direction of shades , varieties of paper ,
thlcknois , texture , methods of separation , "
etc. Who but philatelists and the secretary
of the treasury would suppose that "at rare
Intervals tome-thlng that Is startling" In the
way of "United States revenues" comes uo ?
Kor the nerves of the frail Advanced phll-
ntcllcal student ! m\o been strung up to the
pitch where ho will shy violently at the
sight of a "part rouletted $3 1698 Issue. "
At tlm same time , If ho bo sound In hl
learning , ho will not bo startled at every
little thing "creased stamps , " for example ,
and""all rorts of fantastic perforations. "
An to collecting the former , the lecturer
says , In a becoming spirit of loyalty , "It
Is making much of wrinkled paper used by
the government. " As to the latter , drawing
upon the Mister sclenco of ethics , ho points
out "that "If they became popular * *
there would bo opportunities for no end of
fraud.

It would bo futile for anyone not a mem'
Tier of the section of philately In nn Institute
of arts nnd sciences to carry sorloiiB study
of this lecture further than Ita earlier para-1
graphs. To the reader not versed In phil
ately the text becomes obscure as h
goes on. Such a one cannot hope to ap
preciate Intelligently the Import of th
question , "Why Is the Alexander blue
rare ? " Even the lecturej seems afraid to
go very deeply Into this problem. Th
passages about the " 50c "mortgage , " "tin
bnw tooth , " "the " 2rc power of A ( . y , " the
"blr cks of four" and the "unused o. g. pair"
nro terribly dlfllcult , though the key of It
all seems to bo n proper understanding cf
the "vertical pair. " The unlearned reader
who Is not wise enough to skip most of this
part may mistake philately for a Sherloik
Holmes affair when ho reads , "My theory
Is that these wore used by these w'ho used
n great many stamps , and the office bay
was detailed to do this cutting in his un
occupied moments" ; then again It glides
once moro Into some strange unpubllshol
theory of ethics , bitterly denouncing "un
scrupulous persons" perhaps these same of
fice 'boys with "unoccupied moments"
'
who "havo trimmed at 'tho sides. " Now It
will look like an article on surgery or gam-
Wing. nnd anon suggests a highly condensed
treatise on the fourth dlcnenslons of space.
And If the unndvanced reader has not n cate
his perusal may end In homicidal mania.
To bo sure , there arc points In the lec
ture which the gcniornl student may tolerably
well comprehend. "A beginner even In
philately cnn toll a stamp by the simple
description , " nn the lecturer actually ob
serves. Any schoolboy with n brand now
stamp album can sec that this lecturer re-
Jccta Mr. Sterling's theory of "surface col
ored paper" ; that he really doss not think
very much of a iccont work publlthed by
the Boston Philatelic society , although ho
sowns Inclined to hedge on this , and ( hat ,

of the Nc-li-iicc.
Of the Immediate object of the Science In
Its advanced form the lecturer only speaks
In pausing. "I alto think that one of the
pleasures of mid Incentives to collecting U
the. probability or at least possibility ot
completing one's collection at some rea.
Bonable tlmo In the future. " The Infer
ence hero must bo that one would , In mich
n caee , spend the remainder of one's days
In bewildering one's grandchildren with
pno's phllatcllo nccurnulatlone , and lit last
dlo smiling at their Innocent Inability to
understand what made their grandfather do
tl'ln thing. But oven this ( satisfaction might
bo denied one , If the genius of philately
should break out again In the third genera
tion. There U also the still more remote
probability that the abolition of Internal
revenue , or an outbreak of parsimony In the
treasury or Homo special Intervention' ot
congress , or some other Inconceivable acci
dent might arrest the progress of many
cases of acutu advanced plillatellsm before
thu natural period of senile decay ,
