THH OMAHA DAILY WEDNESDAY" FfoBRUAJii 22. 1882 ELI PEU.KINS. Threo-Card Monte Men on the CrB. & Q. They Swindle a Poor Cler gyman nt Monmoutb. To the Editor of the Chicago Tribune. ON TUB wixo , Fobnury 9. The reason wliy I urge upon . every one , however smart , not to put too much confidence in his own smartness will lie scon further on. Yesterday I had to wait several hours nt Monmouth , III. , a station on the Ohio\go , Turlington and Quincy road. Monniouth lias been frequented by throo-CArd monte men for years. I have always known it , havoofton seen tliom there , and have often written about them. \Voll , yesterday they were thcro ng.xin. One of thorn , with a Canada- ttill dialect , wanted to show tno some strange "keurds" that ho got up in Chicago. "What wore you doing up thorof" I asked , knowing that ho was a throe- card monte man , and feeling an inter est in his modes. "Me-and " ' said "took nap'ho , up eoino hogs. * SVo took up n pile on 'cm , nn1 made ix heap : bu * . pap ho got swindled by a throo-keord monte man. Got near ruined. But I grabbad the keorda , and I'll show you how they done it. " "Nevermind , boys , " I said ; "I know nil about it. 1 know the whole racket. Now I'll keep quiet , mind my own business , and lot you try your monte game on some ono a little more tfrt-sh. " Tlio monte boy saw nt once that I was posted , and soon turned 1mat - iontiou to a goodllooking , jolly , young nnd innocotit'clergyman ' in the depot , In a few moments I saw that the in nocent clergyman had become deeply interested. His interest grow as ho Hrt-atshocl the cards. Thorp wore three ordinary business cards , like .these : WILLOGHBY , HILL & CO. , Clothing. KADWAY'S HEADY UEIJEF , Dr. Iladway. J'JPEU-IIEIDSIEOK , John Osborno it Son. "I believe I can tell which card lias Wiilwughby & Hill on it , " said the innocent clergyman. "All right try it , " said the monto- man , flopping them about. "There , that oho ! " said the clergy man , smiling. Sure enough he was right "I don't see how your poor father could lose all his money at such a simple u'ame as that , " said tlio clergy man , "why , your eyes can see the cards all the time. " "Suppose you bet So that you can toll , " suggested the monte-man. "All right , I'll risk it , " said the clergyman , "though I don't like to win money that wny. " The cards were turned , and , of course , the poor-unsuspecting clergy man lost. Again he tried it , hopin to get his § 5 hack , but lost again. Then , seeming to realize his situation he put his hand to his head and walked out of the depot. "To think , " ho said , "that I , clergyman , should get caught at this game. Why , I might have known it was three-card monto. I've no respect spect for myself , " and ho wiped his eyes like a man -who felt the mosi acute condemnation. "Why don't you complain of the scoundrel ? " I said. ' ' ! ! would , but I'm a clergyman , anc if they should hear of my sin ant foolishness in Peorio , I would be re lioved. My poor family would suffer ifor my sins. " "Then I'd keep quiet about it , " > eaid : "but let it bo a lesson to you , nrver to think you know more than other people. " "But they've got any last dollar , .and 'I ' want to go to P.eoria. I musi ie there to preach onSunday , " aaic the innocent , suffering anan. "Cail't < you borrow of some one ! " ] * aked. "No 6no knows me , .and I don't like to toll my name hero after this I A occurrence , " said the poor man , hal : crjiing. uiv ( ory well , " I said , "hand me yoiar card , .and I well flat you have 35 , And you.can send it to Jno at the Palmer house , Chicago , when you gel to Peoria , " and I handed the poor man the inonoy. A momenttftorwarda I spoke to the agent the depot about the wicked ni)8B of those monto-iuon and-told him how I kad toilend the poor .clergymar $5 to got home. "And loat him " .you 85 ? "Yes , I lent the poor man the rmonoy. " ' Well , by the great guns ! " ant ifktm ho swung hie hat atul yelled to ike operator ; "Bill" , you know that ministerial loo-king man around here ? " "Yo'u mean the capper for Uio three-card monte men , don't you Bill Koycs Missouri Bill ? " "Yes. " "VToll , by the groac guns , he's the best man in the whole gang !

Chicago Tribune. TJi > v.'iing comedian , Nat Good win , wn fnlliiisf the nMio night v .v Jifiiu pukur [ Mit into which ho dropped wlioro the silent and saturnine Shod Shook and the gallant and intellectual Henry Wattoraon were doing the heavy bus ines0. ines0.Wattereon Wattereon Jiad lately heard tin opera of "The Pirates of Penzanco , ' and fallen in love all over again with its melody ; particularly was ho pleased with the pirate's song , and over end anon ho broke forUi and warbled , "I am a Pii-ato King , " or ho burst out and whistled a bar or so , as ho held hia hand close to his criti cal eye. Poker , as several Chicagoans - ans know , is not a conversational Kamobut ; Wattorson , was in luck , and ho varied his musical outbreaks by on occasional rcminUconco. Nat cheer- JuJly played in the amount ho thought 10 could contribute to the evening's uutisomont , left the table , anil as.n ookor-on began to enjoy himself. Fust then Tony Hart and a young nan named Billy Harry Ethiopian lelinoator nnd variety performer , mpppnrtl in. Harry was unacquaint ed with tlio person of Mr. Wntoraon , and probably never heard of The Courier-Journal. Watcrson had just ticked up his cards , passed them nil- lor his eye , whistled R bar of his fa vorite song , when ho casually ro- narked : "Tho last iiino I played poker was with Grant. " " 'I was with Grant , ' " the old man said , recited Marry "I 'sposo the unoi-Al ? " "I said the general General 3rant , " responded Wntterson , loftily. "Oh , hear him ! " Barry addressed Hart. "Just pet onto that Orantl I 'spoco Roscoe hold n tlush as usual , uh ? Oh , play the kiards ! " I\Ir. \ Watterson looked horrified at the low , interruption , but relapsed into IIH melody , and informed in A minor that ho "rtas n Pirate King. At this juncture ) Tony Hart found lie hold a pair of kings and a pair of nccs , and begin hotting. Watteraon softly whistled and pass cd his nose ov > r his cards. "I luivo no reason that I can see to refrain from scoinit you and going you fifty better. "I am a Pir ate King. ' " Tony investicated his hand again with such good results thnt the stakes wor raised By this time the other players were out. Wattersoii and Tony had got up to § 300. "Tho Pi rate King was coining with a picolo precision from the editor's puckered lips , his head was on ono side like a magpie , and that gentle , soft expres sion BO often detected in The Courier- Journal sat on the editor's face as Tony called : "What have " you got ? "Two pair , " answered Wattorson. "So'vo I can't ' be beat , either. " "I am a pirate king , " sang the ed itor , 418 ho laid down two pairs all jacks-and raked in all the money ; ' 'I am pirate king. " 'Tin paralyzed if you ain't , ' groaned Tony , as iho stakes disap peared , and Nat Goodwin came away satisfied that if there are any pirate kings in the pokor'trado , Uonry Wat terson-takes the little crown.

Of the nature of Boa foam he professes fessos to know nothing , and the judge and jury being up a stump , so to > spcakthe case falls to the ground.

For the past two years the publish ers of this paper have given to tin subscribers of THE WEBKiiY BEB thi ibest line of premiums as inducement Co subscription which havo.over been offered by any newspaper in the coun try. The plan has proved c , success It lias given universal satisfaction i the patrons of the paper , and has in creased the subscription list to a degree groe far above the expectations of it publishers. Many patrons of THE DAILY Bui have asked why we do not oflbr them the same inducements held out to sub soriborsrf > f TIIK WEEKLY BEE. In re spouse to 'the inquiry wo make th following offer : Each subscriber t < THE DAILT BEE w.ho pays his arrear of subscription and remits pro-pay jnont for sis months and every now ubscriber who remits pro-paymen for six mouthg will bo entitled to one of the premiums mentioned in ou lint. These premiums will bo dis tributcd in the eamo impartial man ner wluch marked our first and soconc distributions. Thiifichomo wai first devised to collect subscriptions in arrears from patrons of THE \\KKKLY \ BEE. Its BUG cess exceeded our expectations , Wo have now no back collections on our weekly edition , have established the propivymont nynrom. qHidfU-'nil our circulation and correspondingly en hanced the value of our advertising space. A number of subacnbcra to THK DAILY BEE are now in arrears , and if by an extension of the same plan wo can induce them to pay the amount duo us , wo can well afford to make this liberal offer. By this means wo hope to still further increase the large list of THE DAILY Tlex , and having established the prepayment system wo propose to maintain 'it , M wo are doing with our Weekly edi tion , To these who are not familiar with our plan of distribution or the manner ' , n which the premiums ro Jocured by usvo append the explanation made o cur weekly subscribers , which ap- lies equally to the subscribers of Pur DAILY BKK. Two years ago the publishers of Tin : Ur. : devised a scheme for colluding jack pay from delinquent subscribers , ccuriii | ! renewals and extending the ir dilation of this paper by a distri- ution of valuable premiums. The uccess of that experiment , both in Iho collection of bacK pay and increase if prepaid subscribers was so oncotir- iging that the publishers vontutcd ipon the same system of premium dis- ributions on a more oxtonaivo scale as t year. It was demonstrated that vo couldbetter afford to distribute the nonoy usually paid to agents , local collectors and attorneys , directly to our patrons by offering them extra- ) rdinary inducements to square ac counts nnd prepay for another year. Ity this method we have succeeded in two years in quadrupling the circula tion of Tnu WEEKLY HKK and extend- ny its influence far beyond the boundaries of this state. During the first year only a portion of tlio articles distributed were pro cured in exchange for advertising. \Vlion the marked increase in circula tion became known to merchants and manufacturers last year they willingly placed their machinery and merchan dise at our disposal in paying for ad vertising. That enabled us to do what seemed incredible immoly , fur nish a metropolitan weekly for two dollars a year and give oursubs&iibors [ iremiums that aggregated in value 820,000. And yet it was a paying in vestment for us , and gave general satisfaction to our patrons. What grew out ot a desire to collect back pay has developed into a now and practical idea. Wo have discov ered that wo can afford to nmko our subscribers sharers in the income of the paper from advertising. In other words wo can afford to divide the ad vertising patronage of the paper with its subscribers , inasmuch as the income from advertising grows with the in creased circulation. Advertising space in THE BEE that was worth one hun dred dollars five years ago will com- inadd ono thousand dollars to-day This fall more goods nnd machinery have been offered us in exchange for advertising than wo could accept in view of the limited space we devote for that purpose. What wo have con tracted for makes the grandest and most varied list that has over been offered for distribution by any news paper , and that too without paying a dollar in money. The only outlay in cash we expect to incur in connection with these premiums will bo for post age and expressago. This explains exactly how wo procure our premiums , md why wo can give away property of so much value. All the premiums in our list are worth at retail just what wo represent them. In contracting with manufac turers and wholesale dealers wo accept them only at wholesale rates , but that does not lessen their value to these who receive them. THE BEE has for years stood in the front rank of newspapers west of the Mississippi , and to-day circulates more extensively than any paper wesl of Chicago and north of St. Louis. A largo number of eastern people who desire to procure a far western paper. , with a view of acquiring reliable in formation about the resources and development velopmont of the country west of the Missouri will doubtless avail them selves of the opportunity now offered them. Having for more than tenyears been under ono management pursuing a course that hoc established for it pub lic confidence at homo and a wide reputation abroad , THE BEECOU ! ' ! nol afford to engage iin any undertaking that was not conducted fairly and hon estly. Tlio distribution in 1880 anc 1881 gave general satisfaction to our subscribers. The .coming distribution wall be made in the same impartia manner , by a committee whom the subscribers present .may select from their own number , And in ouch man ner .as they think fair and equitable. Last year all the pcomiumH gave good satisfaction , excepting some engrav ings which wore not appreciated.-This year no engravings , maps or pictures have boon plaeod among the prem iums , Our old patrons need no assurance from us of the reliability and stability of THE BEE , nor do we need to inform them that the principles it advocates , and the fearless defense it make it : behalf of the producers , makes it al most indjeponsiblo to the industria classes of the great west. No intelligent person would oxpecl that every subscriber will receive a ? ( i50 threshing machine , a # 500 piano - ano , a § 300 harvester , or a $150 or gan , but all have un equal chance in the distribution. Each subscriber that pays up his ar rears and repays another year , ant every now subscriber that remits pre payment for ouo year , will receive premium worth at least One Dollar retail. As a matter of fact , Tin OMAJIA WEEKLY BKK is worth 'the subscription price , Two Dollars a year , to every foamorj mechanic or merchant. Without boasting wo , as- surt that no weekly east paper , or west , can compare with it in variety and choice selections , general news , interesting correspondence , und nc other paper in America contains as much far western news , ranging from the Pacific coast to the Mississippi river. With the proof of good faith and honest dealing before thorn in the numerous acknowledgments wo pub lish , wo can aafoly enter upon our enlarged - larged undertaking of this year , con- lidently believing that its success will bu mutiully satisfactory and advan tageous.

Possessing fine water power nnd a fac tory built with special reference to the mauufacturo of the best instrument nt the least possible cost , this company luivo advantages enjoyed byno.o.istein inctory. They have near nt hand in largo quantities the finest timber in the world , nnd have nn opportunity ( o make tho. first selection , nnd save the high freights which must bo paid by eastern mniiufaoturors , nnd conso- intently can furnish n better piano for the money than any other makers. The College of Mttsio nt _ Cincinnati , ono of the largest institutions of the kind in this country , after trying the pianos of nil the best makes discarded nil others and are usinp ; only the OHASI : , and decided thnt it possessed all the qualities necessary to with stand the hardships of a genuine mus ical warfare. This speaks volumes in favor of these excellent instruments , the product of western enterprise ami skill. All disinterested experts ad mit that these pianos nro made belt- than these from any other factory and that they are the most aorvicablo. Tlio piano wo offer is their tylo seven and for elegance of .ippearnnco , beauty of tone and solidity of structure cannot bo ex celled. Parties who are not familiar with this make of pianos would do well to write to the lactory for an il lustrated catalogue. Tlio otlior piano on our list is the same style and quality ns the ono wo ifivfo last year , nnd will bo anpreciated by thu party fortunate enough to re ceive it. THETimESHINO MACHINES. The first ono on the list is from Pitts it Son's celebrated factory , of Chicago , 111. , and has a reputation for good work over the whole country The Gold Medal Thresher is from the well known firm of Robinson & Co , Uichirond Ind. The Robinson machine works were established in 184U , and uro ono o the oldest thresh ing machine builders in the country. The machines of tills firm nro in use in every state from Mnino to Oregon. Erery farmer and dealer admits their superiority. Our contract with the Robinson machine works is for n com plete thresher ready to attach either horse or steam power , both of which they manufacture , nnd under our con tract they will furnish the party who receives this machine , either power at 850.00 less than their regular price. This discount to bo given in addition to any cash or other discounts offered by the firm. THE SELF-IIINDIHa HAIWESTEU. The reputation of the Marsh har vesters is so well established that no special description of them is deemed necessary. Wo will only state that this is their latest improvement. Tina machine was on exhibition at the Nebraska braska state fair last September , and was admired by every one , and the workings of it declared superior to that of any other harvester mado. THE LEWIS IIISADEK. This machine stands at the head of the header family and has mot with most surprising success. The factory at Hastincs , Nebraska is kept busy the year round , and the past year has not been able to make enough to fill .all orders. These headers do more work with less power than any other style of reaper , and with less loss of grain than by any other .mode of har vesting. THE AMEUIOAN OIMOTXtNO MILLS which wo offer as premiums are guar anteed to bo first-cioHs iu every re spect , .simple in construction , durable arid easily managed. Those mills are intended for grinding feed and are valuable to every farmer ; they can bo actuated so as to grind meal fine enough for table uso. The fortunate funuur who receives ono of tliese mills u'il ! cuiiainly bo well pleased. Thu mills are complete with pulleys , ant can bo attached to any power. They irn manufactured by thu American Grinding Mill Company , Chicago , Ill- mow. Tlii.'BO are the same style of Mills wo gave iiH premiums last year , and tt em appreciated more than any other premiums of equal value. MNOEK KRWlA'd MAUHINKK. The Sowing Machine which we give < is premiums are all now and h'rst- ckisit , manufactured by the Singer Manufacturing company of New York , who have n reputation and do business in every city and village in the United States nnd Europe.

IIOWH KOAI.E. iq ono of their bust muko and has ca pacity to weigh n wagon with its heaviest load , nnd will bo n' premium that any ono will appreciate. THE OAUnVELL WAGON , which is offered as n premium , is the same style oa the one'wo gave hisl year and which was considered ono oi the finest farm wagons over made. Thono wagons are made by thu Kansas Manufacturing Company , of Leaven- worth , Ka.s. , a western firm with truly western untorpriso. They are making a ilrat-cluBH wagon and will soon bo supplying the entire trade of the went. THE OIIAMI'IOU ' COUN I'LANTEH is the old reliable rotary drop , made by Hoodie & Kelly , of Troy , Ohio. These goods are as staple as white sugar und nro indispensable on every well regelated farm. Wo are eafo in recommending it as the host corn planter made. KINO OOCKLK MILLS. Those mills are now and simple. separating cockle , chaff and all aood from the wheat , in also used as a seed separator. This mill works with a certainty - tainty and rapidity not attained by any groin manipulating device heretofore placed on the market , It furnishes its own motive power nnd needs no blast or agitation , Every farmer , grain dealer and miller should have ono. The ono on exhibition at the IfU t Nebraska state fair waa acknowl edged by every one fcs a "groat inven tion. " WATCtlRS ANt ) SlLVRHWAnE.
