The managers wont at It dishonestly. They dared nol let the light of publicity In upon thoii proposed compromise which fact showed in itself the dcccitfulncss of thoit Hchomcs. With two or three tools and Bympathl/.crs on the board of transpor iation nnd with Attorney General Lccsi nbsent in the east , they succeeded tiftei two days scheming in outvoting a per tlon of tlio board and in getting a nm jorlty of the members to ratify u com' promise that surrendered the vorj principle for which the board baa beer contending and building to , for months It is doubtful if sumo of the members o the board of transportation appreciates the extent of the railroad schemes whor the roads insisted that the tent cas < in the Bupromo court should be abandoned and the people bo kop' in thoi dark us to whothoi the roads wore'king in the state 01 whether there was not In the law tha they had attempted to muko abortive Home provisions that would hold thoii highway robbery tendencies to some o * tout in check. Tlio anxiety of tht roads to have the test cas-o against tht Klkliorn road suppressed and ttrichoi from the records is fully understood ani appreciated when it is for a moment re inembercd that the Elkhorn road is t Nebraska road , and that with it the supreme promo court is the court of last rc&or because there is in the case no oppor tunity to raise n federal question ant talfo tbo test case into federal courts t < drag a long and tortuous way througl United Stales courts before a test coulc bo readied.

But while tlui roads in their secret crot conclave apparently bound the boarc of transportation hand and foot througl their dark-lantern schemes and roturne < homeward chuckling , their frauduleii nnd deceitful little game may yet bi throttled.

A FULLY TESTED SYSTEM , Sketches of Notable Travelers Oma < lia's Sunday Guests Doings of the Drummer Social Oo - slp Samples. The Druntmlnc System. The idea of fending rcprosontntlvei ) f commercial houses on the road orig' iuatcd with a Pennsylvania establish ment forty years ngo. At a time \vhot trade was ut its dullest , an cntorpris ing member of the firm suggested the propriety of ono of tholr number taking v trip through the retail districts foi , ho purpose of "drumming up trade. ' To this same member was delegated the task and he wont forth , samples in hand and thus inaugurated a system whicl : has become a fixture in comtnor cial circles. Several establishment ! liavo endeavored to break into this cus tom by the publication of "price lists , ' etc. , and claiming that by ordering di rect from the wholesale houses and oh' taining their figures from these lists the retailer obtains his goods at c smaller price than ho could did the jobbers keep a high priced man on the road. It is interesting to note the various results of the "no drummer' experiment. It must bo admitted that through r liberal use of printers ink , Bovoral ol , ho anti-drummer establishments have won and maintained trade , but it if just as true that out oi xin houses which have tried Lho experiment at least eight have returned - turned to the old and now fully estab lished system. The list with its pleas ing figures would bo received by the country merchant with full apprecia tion , nnd for a time many flocked to the lid of the now system , being deceived ly the alarming figures of a traveling salesman's exi > enses , and believing the Creator part of the same was heaped upon the cost of their goods. It so happened , however , that the traveling salesmen of other houses made staled visits , and for a time the arrival of the printed drummer by post and the coming of the lle&h and blood represen tative by rail or wagon became , vcrj singularly , simultaneous. Thus the issue was reduced to a bli between a printed slip which had bu' one say and a loquacious individual wlic knew the inugiu ho had to work upon and never missed an opportunity to un > dersell bis silent competitor. By the great majority of the friends of the new system , it was found necessary ir defense of their own trade to return tc the discarded plan. By the housoi which sent out emissaries the fact thai the old system was the best was fullj reali/.cd and the intelligent country patron soon became convinced of this The expenses and the salary ot the traveling salesman amounted to quite t sum but the enormous increase in ealci and the perfect maintenance of trade brought about by the jovial and in dustrous traveler , more than compen sated the outlay. To-day it is a roc ognizcd fact that the expenditures ii this direction , remunerated by the in crease of trade , cuts no figure in tin price of goods passed between the jobboi and the retailor. In his journeys through his allotoc territory the drummer , at all times ai observing judge of human nature secures far better information of th < condition and habits of his patrons thai cau be acquired through any othei source. The jealous care ho gives tin interests of his house along his route and the bonoflcicnt results therefrom would in itself repay his employers tin sums they expend for his maintenance His visits to the country town result ii the formation of firm friendship : through which trade is acquired am maintained for his employers. His valuable uablo store of information upon commercial cial questions , as well as the merits o dilTorent goods is often drawn upon t the great benefit of his patron. Upoi his good judgment his friend and custo mcr places implicit trust , a trust whicl is never violated , and as a result thi commercial drummer posses on his bus ; path through lifo , making friends fo himself , winning trade to his house ani earning every cent of salary ho re ceives. For these reasons the system inau guralod forty years ago is firmly roote i n the bed of the commercial circle tc day.its its results have boon more than satis factory to these who have maintalnoi it , and each year the increasing excellence lenco of the system becomes as apparon to the public as it is beneficial to th jobber and retailor. niofcrnphlcnl. J. E. McCRACKEN became connecto with the establishment of W. V. Mors & Co. in 1880 and is to-day ono of thci trusted and honored representative ! Mr. McCrackon is thirty year of ag and up to the last accounts was on joy in the bliss of single lifo. His route is i the southern part of Nebraska whoroh has many warm personal friends as wo ! as faithful customers. Not partisa in his views this gcntlcma has the reputation of boin a thinker and not backward in express ing bis liberal opinions upon appropriat occasions. His largo fund of genorr information is often drawn upon by hi frsonds and patrons to their bonofil Though young in years , Mr. McCracko is old in experience , and his career i commercial circles has been a surprii ingly successful ono for so young man. His record of sales will compar favorably with the best on the road , an ho wends his busy way though lil gaining friends for his house and bcai ing with him the high esteem of hi employers and the regard of all who ae : mire integrity , pluck and energy. HOLLIS E. BOOLE is a roprcscntativ of the Omaha Rubber company. Mi Hogle wont on the road for this hous when it first opened , February 1881 The members of the company were th incorporates of the St. Paul Rubbe company , and in looking over the fiol for traveling material did so with o > porionced eyes. The value of thoi judgment could not bo better cxompl : lied than in the selection of such a rej rcbcntutivo as Ilollis Hoglo is known t be. Not over twenty-six years of age ho has by close and studious applicatio to the cardinal principles of commorch rulot. won for himself the confidence ( his employers and the esteem of a who appreciate a cautious and indui trious man. When Mr. Hoglo acccpto the ] H > nitlon with his present employoi ho resigned a lucrative position in th drug store of D. W. Saxo , Co. , where the same qualities < heart and head which characterize hii to-day , earned for him the confident of his. then , employers. By these wli know him best Air. Hoglo is rogurdo as a genial , iovjal man and a thoroug lie is u graduate Of phai nrncy and well informed upon all topics if the hour. His route is Southern Ne braska and Northern Iowa. * ANimnw L.

Since that time ho has maelo stated and suc cessful trips over his route , through the Elkhorn valley , along the Chicago , St , Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha railroad and Western Iowa. Mr. Baker is thlrtj years of ngo , a popular and successful salesman and has the confidence of hi ; employers and the warm regard ol many friends. TIIEUE AKE few Ixsttor known ot moro { Kinuliir men on the road than Ed M. Lewis , the genial representative ol W. V. Morse & Co. In 1882 , Mr. Lewis made his first trip for this house , and since that time lie has been a rcgulat and welcome visitor to every quarter ol his territory , which is the northern part of Nebraska. Mr. Lewis is a single man and denies having crossed the line of thirty , yet according to a well in formed and charming attache of the house , if an extra year is thrown in for good measure the ends of justice will not bo seriously interfered with , Whore the sweet magnolias bloom , it the native heath of this popular trav eler. In form ho may bo said to bo ex ceedingly ample , yet ho has won , nnd justly too , the ranlc of Adonis in trav eling circles. Known to every man , woman and child throughout his spa cious territory , ho always has a cheery word for all with whom ho comes in contact ; the admiration of the ladies and the envy of his follow travelers. . Ids reputation as a Jovial , genial gentle man docs not detract from his standing as a first-class salesman. His record since his advent on the road has boon an admirable ono , his sales are largo , bis friends numerous and his standing with his employers ono to bo envied by many an older man. S. V. B. HOLLOWAY became con nected with the Omaha Rubber com pany in March , 1887 and still represents that house in the territory of the Union Pacific between Omaha and Denver. Mr. Halloway was formerly from Now York city and is a thorough business man and successful "drummer. " Thirty- eight full grown years have boon wafted over this gentleman's head , leaving in their wake no trace of time's devastation. Mr. Hollowny is a pleasant , affable gentleman , very popular with the trade and possessing many friends , In stature ho is perhaps short , but his many friends note with pleasure the rapid progress ho is making in this line , as is fully evidenced by the fad that a largo part of his genial self is in plain view above the capillary substance with which nature endowed him. Mr , Holloway has the confidence of his em ployers as well as the respect and es teem of the largo circle in which he mingles. JOSEPH E. ConiJETT ropretcnts the house of Gilmore & Ruhl , becoming con- ncctcd with the Bamo in June , 1887. Mri Corbott travels through northern Kan BOS , western Colorado and southern No braska. Ho is a married man , thirtj years of ago , and formerly lived ir Columbus , Ohio. As a salesman Mr Corbott is regarded as among the best and as a gentleman he is ono of the plensantcst. His success since his ad vent in western circles has been dc cidedly flattering. FIFTY YEAKS ago Andrew C. Wcii made his advent in this world in thi Highlands of Scotland. For many years Mr. Weir with hti family resided in Minneapolis , but real izing the advantages of Omaha as i jobbing center for tbo western trade , hi came to the Gate City in 1883 , when h < became and has since been connectcc with the wholesale house of W. V Morse & Co. His territory lies on th < Union Pacific railroad between Omalu and North Platto. Mr. Weir is a Scotchman nnd pos BCSSCS all the characteristics of tha rugged race. His long experience ii commercial circles has been dccidedl ; advantageous to his employ ere as well ate to himself. By a strict compliance witl every promise mode , and thofulfillmon of every guarantee , his patrons placi implicit reliance upon his rcprosonta tions , and realize that their confidcnci will not bo abused. To this gentlcmoi his employers and all who know bin confidently point as an oxnrapl by which the rising goncratioi oi traveling salesmen may bo guided will profit , A hard and earnest worker Andrew Weir , over attentive-to his cm players' interests , neither fails to put ii six days of faithful labor in the week nor to remember to keep the Sovontl holy , as ho was taught in auld Scotlam to do. It is said by these who know bin best that while "neither the angels ii heaven above nor the demons dowi under the sea" can ovorentice Ibis gentleman tloman from the strict path of duty , tli one weak spot , a part of every human will bo readily touched by the stra ; notes of a bagpipe this is the only sii laid at his door. Condoned as it is b friends , it can by a charitable public b overlooked. Omaha's Sunday Guest * .

Boston Herald : It is estimated thai not less than 9.000,000 kittens are brought into this sinful world. Of these the great majority are miserably drowned a practice which is dcstinet shortly to bo done away With by the recognition of the cat as a fur-bearing animal. Rugs of selected Maltese anc tortoise shell are already quite cxpcn sivo , nnd excellent imitations o various furs are made in this material Taxidermists , too ; are advertising foi kittens by the thousand to stuff for or n amenta ! purposes. At present the only purpose to which they are npplici in this country is the manufacture o carriage robes , but vast numbers o them are sent to Europe , where the ; are in great demand for coats and hats dressing gown linings and other gar monts. The pelts come in from all parts of thi country. They are gathered by pro fcssional collectors , who supply them bi the quantity at regular schedule rates A common cat-skin is worth 5 cents ; i pure Maltese , 10 cents , and a black ono 25 cents. A carriage robe of the bcs cat fur is worth from $40 to $50. Then are always plenty of stray cats runninf wild in the rural districts. The Malm woods are full of them.

"Did ir replied the gentleman. "Well I should day so. Not only I , but thuru are thousands of people who feel Jast that way. I myself have had this trouble in an aggravated form over thrco years. My oars became ntToctcd : 1 could not hear well ; my sight grow dim and bad , and I spoke with a pronounced nasal twang ; my scnao of taste was fast leaving me. 1 tell you , sir , that It Is not very pleasant , this catarrh for that Is the term that this trouble is knoun by but the name does not express the horrors and tortures of the loathsome disease. My breath became so bud that my friends could not come near inc. I Mould blow out such offensive scabs that 1 feared my nostrils were decom posing.

The SjmpUmts Attending That Disease Which Leads to Consumption. \VHen catarrh hasxlbted In the head and the upper part of the throat for any length of time the patient living In a district where people are subject to catarrhal infection and the dis ease uaa been left uncurcd , the catarrh Invari ably , sometimes slowly , extends down the wind pipe and Into the bionchlal tubes , which tubes convoy the air Into the different parts of the lungs. The tubes become alfccted from the swelling and the mucous arising from catarrh. and. In some Instances , become plugged up , so that the air cannot pot In as freely as it should. Shortness of breath follows , nnd the patient breathes with labor and dlllicnlty. In either case there Is a sound of crackling and wheezing Inside the chest. At this stage of the disease the breathing la usually more rapid than when In health. The patient has also hot dashes over Ills body. The pain which accompanies this condition U of a dull character , fell fit the chest , behind the breast bone , or under the shoulder blade. The pain may come nnd go last a few days and then bo absent for several others. The cough that occurs In the lli > t stages of bronchial ca tarrh Is dry , comes on at Intervals , hacking In character and Is usually most troublesome In the morning on rising , or going to bed at night , and It may bo In the first evidence ot the disease extending into the lungs. Sometimes there are tits of coughing Induced by the tough mucus so violent as to cause vom iting. Later on the mucus that la raised Is found to contain small particles ot yellow mat ter , which Indicates Unit the small tubes In the lungs are now affected. With this there are often streaks of blood mixed with the mucus. In some cases the patient becomes very pale , has fever , and expectorates before any cough appears. In some cases small masses of cheesy BUD- stance are spit up , whicli , when pressed be tween the fingers , emit a bad odor. In other cases , particles of a hard , chalky nature are spit up. Tno raising of cheesy or chalky lumps in dicate serious mischief at work in the luugs. lu some cases catarrh will extend lulu the lungs In a few weeks ; In other canes It may bo mouths , and oven years , before the disease at tacks the lungs hUflfciently to cause serlom In terference with the general health. When the disease has developed to such a point the pa tient 13 eald to have natarrhal consumption. With bronchial catarrh there Is moio or less fever which dill era with the ditTerent parts of the day slight In the morning , higher In the ufteruoou and evening. _ SNEEZINGJSATARRH. What It Meant * . How It Acts , nod What His. You sneeze when you get up In the morning , you try to sneeze your nose off every time you are exposed to the leant draft of air. Yon have a fullness over the front of the forehead , and the nose feeU as If there was a plug In each nostril which you cannot dislodge. You blow your nose until your ears crack , but It don't do any good , and the only result U that you succeed in getting up a very red nose , ana you so Irri tate the lining membrane of that organ that you are unable to breathe through it at all. Thin is a correct and not overdrawn picture of an acute attack of catarrh , or "Sneezing Ca tarrh" as It Is called. Now. what docs this condition Indicator First , a cold that causes mucus to bo poured out by the glands in the nose ; then those diseased glands areruttncked by swarms of little germi- the catarrh germ that tloat la the air In a lo cality where the disease Is prevalent. These anlmalculae. In their efforts to llnd a lodgment , irritate the sensitive membrane lining ot the nose and nature undertake ' ! to rid herself ol them by producing u fit of sneezing. When the nose becomes tilled with thickened diseased mucus the natural channels for the in troduction of air Into the lungs is Interfered with , and the person so effected must breathe through the mouth , nnd by Mich means the throat becomes parched and dry , snoring is pro duced , and then the caturrhul disease galas teady access to the throat and lungs.
