The city election the other day was a
very quiet affair and did not call out the
full vote, yet over twelve hundred bal
lots were cast which coupled with the
usual percentage ef non voters would go
to show that wc have a population of
over 8,000 inhabitants. An enthusiastic
campain would probably call out 1,500

A substantial city of over 8,000 in
habitants with but one railroad is cer
tainly an anomaly in this state, yet that
is Platumouth's condition today. Tut
Herald has the best of reasons, how
ever, for believing that ere long we will
be blessed with another line. The Mis
souri Pacific people will build through
to Omaha this year from Union fourteen
miles south of us. That is our prediction
and as we haye achieved something of a
reputation as a prophet we shall take no
chances whon we assure our good poo
pie of the building of a new line.
Tub government's financial official
npjear to be convinced tint 110 harmful
contraction of the currency from treasury
operations can result within the next
thres or four months. The spring de
mands on the treasury were n-1 nearly so
great as thry expected, while no "pinch"
is now looked for until the fall. By that
time they apparently believe that the
desired legislation to relieve the strain
will be had. Of course the government
less than three months hence will be in
its new financial year, when purchases of
bonds for the sinking fund can be made
and interest on bonds anticipated. This
will draw about $ 70,00'),000 out of the
government vaults, if the interest be paid
for a half year, and about $22,000,000
more if interest for the whole year should
be advanced. Disbursements to this ex
tent would probablx bo sufficient to tide
the country over the financial breakers

A most valuable series of papers is
about to appear in Woman, entitled
"Prisoner of Poverty Abroad," by Helen
Campbell, who is now in Europe investi
gating the subiect on behalf cf the mag
azine. The series will comprise twelve
letters relating to the condition of the
poor in London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna,
Rome, aud other leading continental ci
ties, in all of which the writer visits per
sonally the workshops and homes, and
talks with women in all branches of la
bor, in order to obtain trustworthy infor
mation at firat hands and accurate knowl
edge of the life she depicts. Mrs. Camp
bell is especially fitted for this work, her
earnest sympathy with suffering enabling
her everywhere to reach the confidence
f the people she encounters, and her let
ters will doubtless contain many thrilling
pictures of the terrible struggle for exis
tence now going on in the over-peopled
cities of the old world.

which causes them to invest more or less

inevitable. In many instances the inher

it to oppose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces to
su!i an extent that there is little or n

weakened lungs will make all the differ

years of useful life. Upon the first symp

A PEDDLER'S METHODS.
ONE OF THE FRATERNITY TELLS
ALL ABOUT HIS WORK.
Ways That Are Dark and Tricks That
Are Vain A Successful IVddler Must
Have Just Euoagh Self Confidence.
Up Stairs and Down.
"Good peddlers, like successful men in tho
higher walks of life, are born, not made,"
said the particular member of the fraternity
whom a reporter questioned on tho subject,
lie was loaded down with rugs, door mats,
feather dusters and other articles until he
looked like a perambulating houue furnishing
store. Any or all of the articles under which
he struggled he offered to 6ell on "time pay
ments of fifty cents a week," and when tho
reporter gently but unhesitatingly declined
the offer, the peddler looked so unutterably
disgusted that the reporter offered him a
chair and some refreshments. Soon the two
were engaged in a conversation which
brought forth the observation made above.
"No," ho continued, "a peddler is naturally
a good peddler, and no amount of training
or trying will make a good one of a man who
hasn't it in him. On tho other "hand, a good
peddler is generally good for nothing else on
earth. Let him try to stop peddling for any
other business and the chances are ten to one
that he'll make a fizzle ot it."
MADE A SUCCESS.
"Now, I am a born Tieddler, and at peddling
I have at last made a success, where in all
things that I tried before I failed. 1 went to
school until I was 18, and since then that's
twelve yeare ago I have been successively a
lawyer's clerk, bookkeeper in an importing
house, clerk in a dry goods store, driver of a
delivery wagon, car driver, elevated railroad
guard, waiter and peddler. It's four years
since I found my true vocation, and I've done
pretty well."
"Does a good peddler mako much money f
tho reporter asked guardedly.
"Well, that depends. Now, I average 30
a week. Some, a few, make more, but tho
majority make less. Anybody that's a good
peddler, though, should bo able to make C2
a week without any trouble and be able to go
out on Sunday for a good time."
''What characteristics must a good peddler
possess?"
"Oh, a great many. Self-confidence, or
'check,' a3 it is called, is the most essential.
Without it no peddler ever peddled with
success. But too much of it is even more
fatal for his prosperity, for in addition to
failure he often gets a broken head. No, he
must have self-confidence, but not too much
just enough, you know. Then he must bo
a character reader know just to whom he can
sell and whom not, who will stand a stiff
price and who must be offered the goods at
cut rates.
"To be a good peddler you must also haro
a firm, yet gentle disposition. You must al
low nothing to deter you when you see a per
son to whom you feel you can 6eLL No mat
ter what ho or she says, you must persevere,
This is where the firmness comes in. The
gentleness is necessary, so that you may, un
der no circumstances, lose your temper. It
doesn't pay. If the door is slammed in your
face, swearing will only make matters worse.
The people next door -will only laugh at you.
No, you must preserve a dignified silence
and smile indulgently as you turn away
Then you can sell to the neighbor. Her sym
pathy will be aroused, and by patronizing
you she thinks she can administer a rebuke
to the unmannerly woman next door and
shine by comparison."
TJP STAIBS AST) DOWN.
"Is peddling hard work?"
"Trudging up stairs and down with this as
sortment of goods isn't as much fun as play
ing poker, but there is more money in it for
the average person; and, besides, it's no
harder than many other thing3 selling dry
goods, for instance. I can pick my custom
ers in this business, but when I was a counter
jumper 1 was entirely at the mercy of any
woman who happened along."
"What becomes of all the peddlers?"
"That question has often puzzled me. There
are two things I never saw in my life a
dead mule and a dead peddler. Sometimes I
think that when mules and peddlers die Old
Nick carries 'em off bodily as choice bits of
'cussedness.' "
"Are all peddlers full of ways that lead to
Old Nickf
This was rather a leading question, but the
peddler met it unblushingly.
"Well, generally," he replied, nonchalantly.
"Some save their money, but very few. I
generally turn up with a big head and empty
pockets on Monday morning."
"Then how do you manage to buy your
goods? On time?"
"We don't buy our goods. We get them
from houses around town that are only too
willing to let us have them to sell on commis
sion. When a new hand starts in he has to
deposit the value of the goods he takes out,
but after awhilo, when he gets better ac
quainted, he can get all the goods he wants
to take out.
"I must go now. I just saw the red headed
woman who lives across the street return. I
knew she was out, and I've been waiting for
her all this time. I can always sell to a red
beaded woman. I don't know why, but I
can. A red headed man, though, is a useless
being as far as peddlers are concerned."
With this parting shot (the reporter's hair
takes on a russet tinge at sunset) the ungrate
ful vender of rugs took his departure. New
York Press,
Professor and Polanders.
Once upon a time a Ilarvard professor,
while walking on a highway near Boston,
halted to look at a gang of laborers plying
their picks and shovels in repairing a rail
road. He pricked up his ears when he heard
tho gang jabbering Latin Like old Romans.
Ho introduced himself in the same tongue,
when he found that the gang were Polandcrs,
graduates of the University of Warsaw, who,
having found out that they were about to be
arrested by the Russian authorities on the
charge of conspiracy against the czar, fled to
this country, where, being in a penniless
state, they were glad to get employment as
laborers on the railroad. Tho Harvard pro
fessor interested himself in the eases of sev
eral of the laborers, to their advantage, and
even found a professor's chair for a blue
blooded member of the gang. Tho incident
was narrated the other day, when a reporter
told of interviewing a group of three street
pavers uptown, every one of whom was able
to converse with him in five modern lan
guages. Their wages are nominally $2 a day,
but they are laid off so often that they can
not average more than (3 a week.
New Method of Sinking Shaft.
The old method of sinking wells or shafts
by a wooden crib surmounted by masonry
walls is superseded of late in Belgium by the
use of hollow cylindrical sections of cement
tubing of the required diameter, smooth ex
ternally, with insido collars jointed with
liquid cement. As the excavation proceeds,
sections of the tubing are added at the top
until the required depth is obtained, when
the opening is closed with a cement slab,
having a manhole in the center. Chicago

TORNADO POLICIES.
The present year bids fair to be a dis
astrous one from tornadoes and wind
storms. This is fore-shadowed by the
number of storms wc haye already had
the most destructive one so far this year
having occurred at Mt. Vernon, 111.,
where a large number of buildings were
destroyed or damaged. The exemption
from tornadoes last year renders their oc
currence more probable in 1838.
