Hy The Itonc llontc ,
Anton Schaab a young Gorman who
has for some tlmo past boon living on the
bottoms , committed suicide last evening
by hanging himself. His dead body was
found hanging to one of the beams in his
Suit , by ono of the neighbors. The case
was promptly repotted to the coroner ,
whereupon an Investigation was made ,
which developed the following facts :
Schaab came to Omaha with his sister
Mena thrco or four years ago , and has up
' to a few months ago been doing such odd
Jobs as ho could find , to earn his living.
, His sister found employment as a
domestic , nnd has latterly been working
at the residence of n Mr. Smith on
Twenty-fifth and Davenport streets. Of
Into weeks , Schaab has been III , Buflbring
from some sort of mental and bodily
depression , which has not only filled his
mind with strange hallucinations , but has
kept him bedridden most of the tlmo.
His illusion was that ho was being pur
sued by some enemies who were bound to
kill him. His sister ministered to his
wanta as best ; she could , visltini :
him on every occasion possible , and
bringing him food and medicine. Sclmab
however , appeared to grow worse rather
than better. About ten days ago ho dis
appeared from the little shanty in which
ho had been living without saying a word
, to the neighbors , Inntiiry was made for1
him in every direction , but to no avail.
On Saturday night ho returned , saying
that ho had been in Plattsmonth and
thereabouts , trying to escape from the
enemies who wore hounding film to death.
Ills sister gave him into the care of ono
of the noiglibors , Harry Fredericks , asking -
ing tlio latter to see that her brother was
properly watched and his wants , as fur
as possible , attended to. Anton was last
soon by Fredericks alive shortly after
dinner yesterday. Whch supper wus
ready ho was missing , and ! rcdcrlcks
going to his hut .found his lifeless body ,
as before stated , suspended from ono of
'tho beams. Ho immediately cut it down ,
and tried every means of resuscitation in
vain. The coroner's jury returned
a verdict of suicide by hanging1
It is probable that the unfortunate
man committed Iho act sometime be
tween 4 and 0 o'clock. When found by
Fredericks tlio body was still warm , and
life had evidently not been long extinct.
He was last seen alive by a blacksmith in
the vicinity , to whom ho stated that the
Knights 01 Labor were planning to kill
him.

Schaab was about 20 years of ago , and
BO far as known , has no relatives living
in this country. For the past few weeks
ho has undoubtedly been laboring under
a temporary lit of insanity.

v a.tttf Ijnst NlKht'M Meeting.
WttAlax Meyer presided at the meeting of
_ tho' board of trade In the exposition
building last evening , There were fifteen
"members and spectators present when
i tluj cull to order was mado. Mr. Nat.
L tlnger acted as secretary. The minutes
* j6f ? the lust two moatings wore read and
* approved.
The committee having In charge the
, if remission of taxes upon industries to en-
pourago their locution in Omaha , through
JJd\Vln Davis , reported that they under-
' ixjod the subject to bo impracticable and
"illegal , and had , therefore , not conferred
with the council in the matter , On mo
tion of H. O , Clark the report was placed
on tile.
A Iptter from Senator Man'dorson was
road , betting forth his receipt of the
' board's ' resolution , and expressing his
t willingness to act in favor of certain
"amendments to the Cullom bill witli ref
erence to cur load lots.
A communication from Congressman
Laird was read stating ho would watch
for the car-load features in tiio Cullom
bill. Ho thought the Reagan bill would
t , i > a.ss the house and the Cullom bill the
, / . \figiinto. Ho surmised n committee on
'i compromise would then bo appointed.
" A communication from the Munufac-
a' MHrors1 association of Sioux City requesting -
> ing the influence of the board in the mut
ter of the improvement of the upper
Missouri was introduced. It was hold
t-tlitit nothing sould bo done In the prom-
v ( Jsos ,
A communication from the Arkansas
Press association was read. The nrosi-
. , 4 < > nt naid thu board of directors had'up -
r > eliiteda committee , with Mr Wake-
Afield as chairman , to entertain the visitors -
" tors on Friday next , give them a ride
about the city , also a lunch , and , if they
remained over night , take them to the
Knights of Labor ball which is to take
place that evening. It was further do-
elded that there would bo an Omaha man
in each carriage to explain to the visitors
the sights ns they rode around the city.
A communication was read from
Walker Hros. , \Vymoro , Nob. , direct
ing attention to their inventions.
Another was road from the DinT Manu
facturing company of 1'ittsbnrir , setting
forth that they employ -100 men , desire iv
western location and would like to locate
in Omaha , and asking what inducements
the city would oiler to thorn to build bore.
The secretary had written thorn , ex
plained the advantages of Omaha and
asked them for further information ns
regards their works and desires.
Another letter luul been received from
T. J. Potter , of the Chicago , llnrliimton
& Quiney , with reference to shortening
the time on that road between this city
and Chicago , to the oflect that , at the
present , the granting ot the request
would bo impracticable.
Another from J. T. Clark , of the Chicago
cage , Milwaukee & St. Paul , to the olloot
that after the labor trouble * the eastern
roads would probably agree upon a re
duced table of time between Omaha and
Chicago.
The secretary then stated that at a moot
ing of the board of directors in the after
noon Mr. Colpetzer had introduced an
amendment to article 10 , section 1 of the
by-laws , as follows :
A penalty of S5.00 shall bo Imposed on
each member of this association who shall bo
absent nt the regular monthly meeting , un
less , said : R)30iit member shall show cause
why ho wns unable to attend sild meeting ,
nnil said line may bo lumandoil upon a ma
jority veto oC the membeis at the next regu
lar nicotine ,
Also to aitlclo 5. That the rule of collect
ing assessments shall govern the collection of
lines Imposed.
The president said that under the con
stitution , the proposed amendment
would nave to Ho over till the next meet
ing , and in the mean tlmo would bo hung
on the walls of the bourd for the informa
tion of members. If , however , the o
present desire to speak of it , there would
bo no objection to their so doing.
II. G. Clark thought the resolution
a very good one.
Colonel Chasq thought there ought to
be a fine , but did nol know whether it
would be advisable to start light or heavy.
In Minneapolis , a board of trade mem
ber who was not present at 0 o'clock in
the morning was lined $10. There , they
did things dillbroutly. after the manner
of a legislature. There , they had but
two excuses , sickness and absence from
the city. When thu time came to act
upon the subject , ho hoped it would be
acted upon intelligently , and , if they had
business to warrant attendance at meet
ings , the line should bo inllieted.
H. G. Clark saiu that if there could be
secured an attendance 01 lifty or sixty at
the meetings , there would bo no difficulty
in making the meetings interesting.
Mr. Nattingor said that , recently , an
interesting private meeting had been
held at which it was claimed that the
city was not bcing properlv sewered
from a sanitary standpoint. Itc thought
that tlmt would bo a subject which might
be considered by the board.
Colonel Chase said that , while ho felt
that the city engineer was competent , it
was questionable whether the system of
sewerage was the best that could be cm-
ployed The city had been niggardly in
paying good salaries ; nevertheless , the
subject was ono which the board should
consider and present their views upon to
the council. The question of the assess
ment was also ono which should be con
sidered to whether the one-third
, as - valu
ation should bo longer con inucd.
The board then adjourned.
After the close of the meeting , it was
ascertained that , .at the meeting of the
board ot directors , in the afternoon , the
call had been made of 25 per cent of the
stock for the purpose of carrying forward
the erection of the board of trade build
ing.H.
H. ( .I. Clark figured that ouch share of
stock was valued at about § 100 , while it
had cost but $225.
The Now Kouto to St. Joseph , Alo.
The through line from Chicago to St.
Joseph , Missouri , over the Chicago ,
llock Island 4& Pacific Hallway will bo
open to public use on and after May 2d ,
1880. The extension west from Alta-
niont ( from which point the main line di
verges to St. Joseph ) has been construct
ed with the utmost care , ami in all re
spects compares favorably with nny of
the older portions of the Hock Island sys
tem. Through express trains run as fol
lows : Leave Chicago 12:10 : p. m. and 11
p. m. , arrive in St..Josoph 8:15 : a. in. and
7:55 : ! ] ) . in. respectively. Returning , leave
St. Joseph 7J5 : ! p. m. and 7:55 : a. in. , ar
riving in Chicago at 5:35 : p. m. and (5:25 ( : a.
in. The passenger equipment of these
trains , consisting of day coaches , Pull
man palace parlor ami sleeping cars ,
reclining chair cars and dining cars , Is
and will bo characterized by the sumo
comfort , luxury and splendor which have
made thelCunsas CitjKouto of the Rock
Island so universally popular. The new
line opens up , a nuw and independent
avenue of transportation to and iroraone
of the most nourishing , fco-'ahoad cities
of the West a city of 50,000 inhabitants ,
commanding an immense trade that
covers a vast urea included in the States
and Territories contiguous and tributary
to it. Success to the through lino. to St.
Joseph , and , may the Chicago , Hock
Island & Pacific management harvest
that full measure of reward which their
superior energy and enterprise have so
fairly earned. _
A Lively Runaway.
Yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock as II.
U. Kennedy wus starting for a drive from
Douglas street ho noticed that one of his
reins had gotten under the slmft. Ho
stepped down to remove it. The horse
feeling in good spirits started to run , and
dragged Mr. Kennedy , who maintained
an upright position between the fore and
hind wheels , until the corner of Thir
teenth and Douglas was reached. There
ho slipped , and was thrown. The buggy
was overturned , and the horse run to
Hartley , thence to Farnam , where it
struck the hind wheel of Canon Dohcr-
ty's buggy , starting its spokes , and let'
ting the buggy fall to thu ground. The
hind legs of the horse became so wedged
among the spokes that ho could go no
farther , and with diillculty was re-
loascd from ids painful position. Each
buggy was slightly injured , the Canon
was trichtoncd , the horse was scratched ,
and Mr. Kennedy got a splash of in ml
upon his clothes.

TJIK IJAUGISST IX TIIIJ WEST.
Omaha Secures the Western Branch
of the Mollnc Plow Company and
the Milburii Wagon Company.
Omaha has secured for a certainty the
location of the western brunch house of
the Moline Plow company nnd the Mil-
burn Wagon company. The companies
have purchased a part ot the building
site and have already prepared the. plans
for the proposed structure. The location
will not be made public until all the
property desjrcd has boon secured. The
agricultural implement business of Oma
ha is already a mamoth in
dustry , but the completion of
this company's plans will fully double that
business in Omaha. The building when
erected will have a frontage of 133 feet
and will be 132 foot in depth and will be
six stories above the basement built en
tirely of brick , fire proof throughout and
especially arranged for the conduct of
the business for which it is to be con
structed.
The Moline plow and the Milburn
wagon are staple articles with the farmer
everywhere and hereafter Omaha will
be the distributing point for these goods
for the entire west and northwest. The
companies who are to construct this
mamoth depot are backed by a capital of
over four millions of dollars and the
amount of western business transacted
by them is simply enormous. Omaha
will bo the homo and the headquarters of
the largo number of men who willbo , re
quired to conduct those companies' busi
ness and look after their interests ontho
road.

"Tho Romnnco of Advertising , " was
the title of a book written several years
ago , and although on the first thought it
would appear to bo impossible to extract
anything that would prove of Interest to
Biich a dry-as-dirt subject as advertising ,
when Iho subject is thoroughly gone into
it is astonishing how much romance nnd
interest there are in it. "Tho way to
fortune lies through printers' ink , " said
that prince of advertisers , P. T. Burnuni ,
and there Is a deal of truth in the old
showman's saying. Whoever heard of a
man ruining himself by advertising ? No
ono ever did , but wo have all heard of
the man who tried to ruin himself by ad
vertising , and in the pud only succeeded
in doubling his fortune , it Is very gen
erally supposed tliat advertising is of
modern origin. Not a bit of it. Adver
tising was common in the days of Noah ,
and almost the first recorded instance is
that of Noah sonding'tho dove from the
ark that brought back an olive branch as
"a sign. " It was not until the da s of
the Crooks and Romans , however , that
written advertisements became common.
The Jews , and other eastern nations , had
a custom , which is common to this day ,
of giving notice of sales , mcotinprs , elec
tion , by word of mouth , something like
the moro modern "bellman" notices.
The Greeks also gave notice of stolen
property in this way. The Romans were
pLolicIent in the art of advertising by
written signs , and on the walls of
Pompeii may be seen to this day notices
and rough sketches of bull fights and
gladiatorial contests. On the walls , too ,
may bo seen written directions as to the
roads to take in order to reach certain
baths , and the excellence of the baths are
also extolled at length. The saloon
keepers of the day were also not buck-
ward in advertising the quality of their
drinks. Such notices as the following
are quite common :
Visitors from Rome are advised to try C.
Marcu's red valerian ; it Is the best.
And very probably there was addedf
though now obliterated by time :
I have drunk C. Marcu's red valerian , and
can recommend It for Its strength and purity.
J. CAKSAII.
The old Romansiknew how to live well.
Pompeii wine shiip'slgns ' arc very com
mon on the walls bt''the ' buildings that
have been unearthbd. tJuring the middle
ages advertising , in ' wr'lting at any rate ,
became a lost art.1' ' When men had to bo
summoned for a crusade , or noticed rf a
riew tax : levy was 16 bargivcn , it had all
to be done by wor < l of mouth or by some
symbolic way. If1 it 'Wore ' by word of
mouth men were fcSnt to scour the coun
try and give notirto to''the ' head men of
the various village * , oi < clse beacons were
on the hills or , as In Scotland , the "fiery
cross" was sent rrtmdl' . Sinsc newspapers
were unknown the pc'6f > lc had to depend
on tlto wandering minstrel or the itiner
ant priest for their' ' supply of news.
Another individual whose presence was
alike welcome in tire c6urtly hull or hum-
blofcbttago wa'a tho"tritydling merchant ,
who was received with much greater de
light than in these degenerate days , both
for the sake of the news and his goods. ,
This lowly individual who carrieil his
'pack on his back , wus the originator of
our modern fashionable drummer. In
largo towns , such as London , of course
it was different , and these merchants
made known the excellence of their"
Wares by moans of criers , who cither per
ambulated the streets shouting the merits
"of Jones' "soap" or Smith's "burnt
sack , " or else had men to stand in front
oFthe booths , with which the streets were
then lined , and with their never-ceasing
cry of "What d'ye lack ? What d'ye lack ? "
"sought to attract the attention of custo
mers.
'At the close of the last century news
papers became an institution , and adver
tising may bo said to have been born
again , ami , projnix-liko ! , sprung from the
ashes of the old world , where it had lam
buried during 'the middlo'agcM. It now
became an "art" and gradually as it increased
'
creased in proportion , it'bccamo not only
an "art. " but a "science. " There is not
only scientific advertising , but the "art
ful" advertising as well. In the early
days of newspapers they were almost ex
clusively government sheets , and their
advertising space wus monopolized by
government announcements. * Hut as the
demand for the nqwsnapcr increased
their si/.o was enlarged , and then private
parties say what an admirable channel
this was lor making known their wants ,
either to ( jell or purchase , to the general
-'public. It was a long time , however ,
before the public really caught on to this ,
and for many years one or two news
papers , such us the London Times and
L/loyd's News , had almost the exclusive
patronage of the advertising public.
People seemed to think that it was waste
of monoy-to advertise anywhere else , and
it Is a fact worthy of mention that the
firat day's receipts for advertising in the
London Daily Telegraph amounted to
only 75 cents. It wus not for years , in
fact 'until within a comparatively recent
time , that the present proprietors of the
Daily Telegraph derived any .substantial
benefit from tlioir advrlsln ! < r > columns ,
as at the beginning of their enterprise
they let the columns of the paper to con
tractors for a term of years at the low
rates then ruling. The advertising con
tractors ma'do many a fortune out of the
columns of the Telegraph before Mr.
Luwson did.
It was not unfit -advertising through
the newspapers hqdJ.woii thoroughly es
tablished that advertising by means of
"posters" and signs and symbols painted
on bill boards antll du'ad walls came Into
yoguo. This ghasty | i system originated
in this country , anil livers of the beauti
ful in nature inaxweU ( rue t'io ' day when
the Inventive faculty , of the advertising

has all his poetical thoughts rutlilo.isly
dashed away by seAiUJjtlioudvIco , starin
him in the So\i&ln5or \ on aomo rock in
letters a yard lonayta use only "Urown's
blacking , " or that "Jones'pure rye cock-
tuils" were the bcdtr Town and country
were alike victimized ! and , although inv
the former some attempt has been made
to render these posters loss objectionable
and render them , in many cases , enticing
to the eye of the passor-by , in the country
the sumo eye tores blill exist , and will
probably continue to the end of timo.
One good thing , however , has been done
lately prohibiting advertisements of this
description at Niagara , There it was
not only an oflenso against good taste ,
but a positive sin.
With regard to advertising as an "art. "
is it not really an art ? How often is the
exclamation hoard from some newspaper
reader"That's a good ad , " his attention
having , perhaps , been unwittingly drawn
to some announcement "artfully" word
ed. A ward , a catch-phrase , u something
that is out of the common will do it , but
the same "ad" might be written in half a
do n different ways , nnd yet full to
draw anyone's attention to ] t. The ad
vertiser who knows his business will
havro his advertisement as carefully writ-
ten and expend ns much thought on It ns
the manufacturer expends who makes
the ilrriolo hoSVishcs to advertise. Not
only will ho do thH , but ho will see that
the advertisement Is put in the paper in
a position whom it will attract tlio most
attention , and he will nay extra for that
position and continue ( tinning the merits
of that article into the public's , nt lirst
unwilling , car Until ho has forced it to
their notice. The advortiscron the oilier
hand , who does not know his business ,
and is Ignorant of the true art of adver
tising , will write his "ad" regardless of
grammar or sense , mid insert It in a pa
per of no circulation and indillurcnt as to
what position it obtains there , like tlio
lady who buys a thing she docs not want
"because it is cheap.71 An advertiser of
this description , If his "ad" is not an
swered after the first insertion , gives It
ui ) , forgetting that ninety-nine pco-
nlo out of n hundred who would
have seen it If ho hail adver
tised properly and paid a little
moro for It uro Ignorant of his very ex
istence. He thinks then that advertising
is a "fraud" and a more waste of money.
So it is ; if done in that way ho might
just as well throw his money in tlio gut-
tor. " It is the advertiser of the lirst kind
to whom Itanium's saying that "llio road
to fortune lies through printers' Ink , "
applies , nnd It was a man of this stamp
who tried to ruin himself by advertising
and only doubled his fortune , but ho
must have advertised properly , or clsi ho
would have succeeded In his scheme.
Artful "nda" that catch the eye nnd
create town-talk are by no means com
mon. The general way seems to bo to
din the merits of the article intotlio pub
lic ear by tlio force ot constant repeti
tion. Ono of the best "ads" over sprung
on a long suH'cring populace was that of
ozokerite candles , which , as they are not
ns > od in America , "may be hero given n
free "ad. " For weeks before they were
put on the market "sandwich" men
promenaded the streets of London bear
ing boards on which was written the
letter "O. " This was succeeded a week
or two later by the loiter "Z , " then came
another letter , and so on. finally ending
with "Tho word is ozokerite. What is itvr'
About two months were occupied In this
wuj\ and every man you met in London
would put tlio question : "What is
oxokorlto ? " The public curiosity was so
well aroused that largo wagers were
actually made as to the nature of "ozok
erite , , " and when finally it came out that
"ozokerito candles were the best" there
was hardly a man , woman or child In Lu-
gland that did not know of thu fact.
What romances , too , are often covered
in advertisements in the "personal" 09- !
unin of a newspaper ? What family
skeletons , what heartburnings , what
tales of misery docs a three-lino "ad"not
seldom contain ? In the simple announcement -
mont so often seen , "Come home ; all is
over : you are forgiven , " may lie the. ma
terials for a three volume novel that
would boar out the fact that truth is
stranger than fiction. Many an author
would make his fortune and reputation ,
if ho could peer behind the advertisement
and see the causes which led to its in
sertion.
Columns ujion columns might be writ
ten on advertising as an "art , " a 'sci
ence" and a "romance , " but it is all
three combined.
The Smart Hoy.
Charles Dudley Warner in Harpers'
Magazine for May : There wore two
bright little girls oil'for a holiday with
their western uncle , a big , good-natured
man with a diamond breastpin , and his
voluble son , a lad about the age of his lit
tle cousins , whom he constantly pestered
by his rude and dominating behavior.
The boy wa. a product which it is the des
pair of all Europe to produce , and our
'travelers had great delight in him as an
epitome of American "smartness. " Ho
led all the conversation , had confident
opinions about everything , easily put
down his deferential papa , and pleased
, the other passengers by his self-sufficient
knowttig-nll'air. ' To a boy who had trav
eled in California and seen the Alps
U Was not to bo expected that
this humble mountain could afford
riiuch entertainment , and ho did not at
tempt to conceal his contempt for it.
fWhcn the stage" reached the Rip Van
\Viiklo ) house , lialf-way the .shy school
girls were for indulging a little sentiment
' 'o'ver the old legend , but the boy , who
conceals his igiioraco of the Irving ro-
niitnco until his cousin hud prattled the
outlines of it'wus , ' not to bo taken in by
any such chalf , and though he was a little
staggered by Rip's own cottage , and by
the siglit of the cave about it which is
labelled'us the very spot where the vaga
bond tookh is long nup , ho attempted to
bully the attendant and drink-mixer
in the hut , and openly Haunted his in
credulity until the bar-tender showed
him n long bunch of Rip's hair , winch
hung like : i * sealp on a nail , and the rusty
barrel .and stock of the musket. The
cabin is , indeed , full of old guns , pistols ,
looks oFhuir buttons , cartridge-boxes ,
bnllola ; * knives , "and other undoubted
relics of'Ulp and the revolution. This
cubit ] , with'itfi facilities for slaking thirst
on a. hut day , which Rip would have up-
Dtcciaied , over a hundred years old ac
cording to information to bo obtained on
the spot , is really of unknown antiquity ,
the old boards and timber of which it is
constructed having been brought down
from the Mountain house some forty
years ago.
Electric rotors.
The electric motor , which was an
nounced a year ago as about to super
sede steam on tin ) elevated roads and
horses on surface roads , is still shy and
reluctant to show it.s paces. The Daft
motor , which made a great deal of noise
for u wliilo and was undoubtedly a suc
cess , up to a certain point , has been
hauled off the Ninth avenue track inde
finitely , though it is suid to bo liable to
reappear in a more stunning resurrection.
The Kdison-Ficld motor , clumsily geared
with leathern bands , which tor some
months ran on a little experimental track
down Twenty-fourth struct , has ulso been
hauled off and probably given to the
junk heap ,
The very latest candidate for popular
approval is a motor by Frank J.Sjiraguo ,
geared to the truck , close to the wheels ,
and turning them by cog.s. It is light ,
strong , compact , economical in saving
all the power , easily managed , and ex
perts declare that it is tlio long-looked
tor comu.at last. In braking up for a
station the dynamo turns the other way
and evolves electricity , turning it into
the reservoir the truck for iido , Spniguo
was once a lieutenant in the navy , and
has become a leading electrician. I'll is
motor promises to climb up on the ele
vated trucks in a month or two.

ferred to was a well dressed gentleman
in the act of pickingiiphis liankkerdiief ,

A second glance , however , showed that

with it. What that i-oiiietliing was would

the talkative Hibernian came to the
rescue by volunteering u little light on
the subject. "What is it , did you uskV"

The 'something1 that the 'gentleman1
over there picked up was the best part of
a twenty-live-conts cigar. " "Nonsoiii-e , "
exclaimed a gentleman btamling by. "If
that man desires to smoke he would go
and buy a cigar , and not travel around
a hotel corridor picking up stumps of
cigars. "
"Hal hat" laughed the jolly Irishman.
"Yon are us dumb as a clam. Could you
see through a brick wall if you tried ?
Why , that man is 'shooting HUiiniiH. ' "
The questioner was more mystified than
ever. "Shooting stumps ? " hu said ;
"what do you mean by that expression ? "
The genial baggageman who hereto
fore hud given iutonnution Ho cheerfully
became impatient al his listener's ignor
ance on the subject.
"Don't YOU know what shollng slumps
means ? " lie exclaimed , with a withering
glance of contempt
"Well , . I'll lull you. To commence
