Ttio event of Arbor Day the present year
in Lincoln will bo the laying of the corner
stouo of the Grant Memorial hall at the state
university grounds. Propitious weather will
witness a great street display and a largo
attendance of citizens from points In the
ttatc , as well OH the local assemblage of Lin
coln citizens who da no work of this chnrnc-
tcr by kalvca. It will bo a holiday to-day in
the city and the banks will close the entire
day , the state and county offices in the after
noon , and it is probable also that the freight
offices ol the different roads centering here ,
as well as n major pnrt of the business
houscB , will rccofrnl7O the legal holiday by a
BUscnson | ! of business at least n portion of
the day. There will bo trees plantrd in Lin
coln as usual on Arbor Day , and the nursery
stocks have an extra supply wltlt which to
meet demands. Lincoln is rapidly becoming
a forest city , and thousands of trees have
already been planted without the formal
waiting for the formal day. Parties who
take part In the exercises of laying the cor
ner stone of the hull are already arriving in
the city. Colonel Slaughter , grand marshal
of the Masonic fraternities , is on the ground ,
ana Grand Master Milton J. Hull , who lays
the stone , cnmo In on the afternoon train.
Captain Henry of Fairmont , the principal
speaker , arrives from the west on the morn-
ins : train.
Tllilin niBTlltCT MATTR1I9.
The fnct that the Third congressional dis
trict breaks the record and nominates its
candidates for congress at the same time
that it .selects delegates to the national con
vention has caused an early awaken in K in
that district and brought numerous people
from that section of the state who talk poli
tics. A number who have been in the city
the past week have cxjncstcd the opinion
that Congressman Dorsoy would bo rcnom-
inatcd on the 11 rst ballot. A gentleman from
Columbus states that the aspirants for Mr.
Dorscy's shoo leather have been quietly at
woik attempting to have the convention de
layed , but It wits not his opinion that the
plan would meet with nny endorsement.
TUB I'AVISO QUESTION.
At the city council meeting to-morrow
night the paving question will bo paramount ,
us it is the time llxcd for the final decision of
the council on the question of material.
Thcro will bo about three miles of work to
dispose of , and a largo bevy of contractors
have waited and worked for this decision
that .will scttlo matters. During the past
week the advocates of brick pavements have
urged their material , but thus fur none of the
districts have expressed a preference for that
material. In ouch of the districts whcro
meetings of the property owners have
been held to decide the question of
material a majority preference has ex
isted for cedar blocks on concrete , and
the council is practically a unit in favor of
using that material. The question of the
Btono for curbing is also llcuring largely , as
a change from Colorado sandstone to Ban-
dem stone will work a changd in the con
tract price ontho totals with two or three
bidders , according to the report of the city
engineer. In the meantime the contractors
for the paving of the second district that was
Tot a year ago have Rushed preparatory work
ready for active business , and several blocks
in the district are now ready for the con
crete. The laying of blocks will commence
tlio coming week if the skies remain pro
pitious , and several hundred men will be en
gaged in public improvements at an early
day.

wrenches tlio groaning windlass from

act when it strikes a great city ? It is

the lights of a frontier saloon and made
himself master of the place , goes to a
big town tind pitcously begs for a drink.
It gathers up dust and throws it in the
eyes of the pcoplo , hut doe's not demol

road , and was located at Minneapolis.
Ho used to enjoy "a quiet evening's fun
with the boys and did not dislike a little
tlo game of draw. Ono of the stories

had been playing in good luck , and
when ho was making a bluff would pull
out ono of those long leather pocketbooks -

mark : "Will see you for my pilo. "
They used to wear high too hoots in
those days nnd Noble had removed his

three queens. Ho bet all his chips and
then out came the leather pockotbook.
Noble , who held four kings , bet every

pocketbook did not wince , but setting
his boots on the taklo , remarked' ' 'I'll

An RncrRCtlo Woman. '
A writer In the Now York Mall sneaks of n
lady whom ho erroneously terms "tho only
successful woman drummer In this country , "
thus : .
Mrs. K. Knbok Is pretty. She travels for
a Franklin street dry Roods importer , and
covers the onllro cquutry. This branch of
Industry has Ions been pro : cmptcd by men ,
and it nas been regarded as next to Impossi
ble for n woman to nchloro success on tlio
road , but Mrs. ICubok'a career shows that
popular opinion in this regard la wrong. The
hardships of the business she bears equally
as bravely as her follow salesmen ) and her
employers are moro than pleased with lior
work. Her expenses bills tire lighter than
those of the other travelers , as cigars and
beer bills nro not included in her accounts.
Although she is unable to clmo her rural cus
tomers and bait them with costly luncheons ,
she manages to secure their ardors as readily
as any of her competitors.
Mrs. Knbolr is young , plucky , well in
formed , and carries herself with tact and
dignity. Her Ufa has been flllcd with ad
ventures. She came to this country from
Vienna with her father in 1873. Six years
ago she was married in Chicago. Two years-
later her husband committed suicldo. She
then moved to this city , where her children
died. It was then that she sought employ
ment to earn her living and divert her mind
from the sad events of the past. When
asked about her work , she said :
"I like the work. I travel Just as quickly
and cover just us much ground as my male
competitors. I have never been insulted
yet. I have met with respect wherever I
went , wherever I was and whomsoever I ap
proached. It lies cnthcly with a lady to bo
protected , and that is through and by her
own demeanor. "
Hcgardingtho ability of women to sell
moro goods than men , she said : "I think
they can. You see , a woman has certain
tastes and ideas which n man , in that ro-
spcct , I think , is not particularly gifted with.
As long as you suggest the thought , I also
believe that if once in carricst with her work
and occupation a woman will 'stick' to it
moro closely and show a , little moro energy
th.in n man. Maybe I am mistaken in it ,
however. And , after all , I still remain the
woman with all that word implies. Only recently -
cently , at the Palmer house , in Chicago , I
rncnt a couple at the breakfast tabla with a
little golden-haired angel between them. The
Imago of iny own boy rose up within mo , and
I had to leave the table. Up in my room I
then had a real good cry. But I felt strength
ened , and two hours later sold a largo bill. "

A traveling man who attempted to make
the town of Milford from Lincoln Tuesday
last made some discoveries in regard to the
Burlington road's ability to transact and
handle business. This gcntlcmanwcnt to the
depot in the early morning hours to go to
Milford on an early freight. Ho found six
or eight otncr passengers going the same
way , and the train made up ready to go , but
no locomotive to haul it. Two other trains
were made up , also waiting for engines. For
eight long hours the traveling man and his
fellow passengers waited for an engine to
take the train and then gave itup. The gcntlg-
man furnished the following communication
or the benefit of the public :
LiNCOLN-.April 17 , 1888. To the Editor of
the BEE : The treatment shippers and the
traveling public are receiving at the hands
of the B. & M. is most shameful and un
bearable. The writer of this has been wait
ing eight solid hours with live other passen
gers in a car laden with filth and disorder ,
attached to a train advertised to Icavo Lin
coln at 7 a. m. , carrying both passengers and
freight. Among the other passengers is Mr.
G. Vi' . Elston , of Columbus , Nob. , having in
charge a airload of line brood mares , which
ho loaded last Sunday noon at Murray , la. ,
150 miles cast of hero , upon the positive as
surance of the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy
railroad agent at Murray that they would go
through without delay to Columbus. They
have now been out over forty-eight hours
without feed or water , and are standing sixty
miles from their destination in the B. & M.
yards hero waiting for nn engine to como in
oft the road to taico the train. Mr. Elston
and the other passengers feel exceedingly
tropical and swear they will never patronize
the B. & M. again. A TUAVCLINO MAN.
IANl > r ENGINEERS.
WEBPIXO WATEII , April 2. To the Editor
of the Ben : To show how well the B. & M.
system is being managed at the present time ,
and how competent their present force of
engineers is , I will relate my experience to
day on freight train 48 , scheduled to Icavo
Lincoln at 4 u , m. At 8:80 : a.m. it was 10-
ported by the B. & M. employes that this
train would leave on tlmo. It was made up
and ready to Icavo on time , but it was ( J
o'clock two hours before an engine could
bo secured and the train started. The cngiuo
had a full supply of coal and water , but hud
not gone twelve miles when the water gave
out , and the train was left standing on the
pralrio while the englno was run to Bennett ,
live miles distance , for another supply. After
long delay the train was again started , but
before it reached Dunbar the coal gave out ,
and the train was again left while ttio engine
proceed to Nebraska City fornnothor supply.
Understand that from Lincoln to Nebraska
City the distance is only sixty miles , and
with any other than u .thoroughly
incompetent engineer such a thlntr would
never occur. ( Several cars of stock wcro
belmr dcpicciutcd in value through such
delay , but the shippers have no redress.
Curses long and loud wcro freely given
against such Incompetence , yet the ondnccr
of this train was said to bo a "dandy'1 com
pared with some on that rond.
The above train is duo in Nebraska City at
0:45 : a. m. , but It was after2 p. in. when Dun-
bar was reached. I "Wish for the benefit of
the public you would give this space.B.

Ax OMAHA DHUMMER.
A Great Scheme.
1 am frequently asked the question whether
it is cheaper to burn gas in largo holds or to
use electric light nil through the house , re
marks n hotel keeper in tbo St. Louis Globe-
Democrat. Of late it has been practically
demonstrated that electricity is the cheapest
light. A hotel expects to make What little
profit thorn is In the business oil the travel
ing or transient public. Now that class of
pcoplo consists chiefly in drummers and *
tourists , who want and demand niora for
their money than any class of pcoplo on
oarth. They require moro attention and
causa moro trouble and nnnoynnco than nny
other class of pcoplo who pay the same rnto.
Ono of the biggest items in hotel expenses is
the gas bill. The regular boarder retires at
certain hours and turns out his gas. The
drummer , ever alert for any schema to fur
ther his own interests , has adopted n plan to
"got oven , " as ho calls it , with the hotels.
Every one of them carries gas burners and a
pair of pliers to put them on Brackets or
chanaallers. The average hotel pas burner
is of the three foot size , tlist is burning about
that number of feet per hour , which gives
ample light for rooms under ordinary cir
cumstances. But the drummer Is not satis
fied with this. Ho unscrews th6 three-foot
tip and replaces it with his own six or eight
foot burner , which ho Itch's Just as soon as
he gets Into his room and lets it blaze nxvny
nil nlgnt , giving enough light to illuminate n
hall and sufficient heat to warm the room.
The tourist is guilty of the same trick , nd
they make gas bills climb up at an enormous
rate. With electricity this trick is done
nwoy with and a big saving mode.
A Triigcily.
A few days' ago Nicholas Goldonklrch , a
traveler for a Now York silk house , was shot
and mortally wounded by Charles W. Green ,
a real cstuto dealer , at the residence of the
latter , 18 Uodnoy street , Willlainsburgh.
The shooting occurred at 8 o'clock , and
Goldonkirch was shot down while ho was en
tering the front door. It would scorn that
after ho entered the house ho encountered
Green , who ordered him to leave. Golden-
kirch rushed at Green , when the latter drew
a revolver and flrod the fatal shot. Dr. Cor
nelius Olcott ordered that the police bo noti
fied. The ambulance was also summoned ,
and when it reached < the house Goldcnkiroh
was still unconscious.
Tha bullet entered the man's loft tomplor
and his death was oxpoctcd at any moment.
Although the family refused point blank to
give any information , it was learned that
Emma Green , a sister I of the prisoner , de
clared she had boon married to Goldcnkirch ,
which claim the latter repudiated. After the
shooting she refused to have the injured man
removed to the hospital. She said ho was
her husband and she would stay with. him.
A Touriat Held Up.
W. T. Barnctt , a traveling salesman for
JT. M. Hill & Son , wholesale boot and shoo
house of Memphis , Tcnn. , was recently held
up by highwaymen , while making a team
trip , and relieved of his personal effects and
two trunks of samples. The Merchant Trav
eler gives this sequel to the hold-up : The
day after the episode a note was handed
Barnett , which read as follows :
"When you como again bring two shoes of
a kind. We're not one-logged in this coun
try. You'll find sorao of your stuff in the
smoke house in the salt. Wo keep the others
to sell to one-legged men. "
* Having the smoke house searched Mr.
Barnett found , sure enoughin the salt sacks ,
about half of his samples. The robbers had
evidently gotten disgusted on finding that
the shoes wcro all for the right and none for
the loft foot. They will probably consider a
shoo drummer beneath their notice after
thisMr. . Barnott's loss will amount to
about $200.

A GREAT MISTAKE ,
Some men think that because they pay high prices for clothing , they got a bettor article than ,
wo soil for half the money. This is a mistake. To many customers who visit our store for
the first time , it is a revelation that they can buy just as fine goods of us and just as well
made as any custom tailor will turn out , and the fact that our. prices are from 80 to 50 po
cent cheaper than other houses is also a revelation. The remarkable bargains wo offer this
season have never been approached by any house.
In spring suits wo are opening every day now lots. All the latest styles are represented
in our stock. The ue\v Prince Albert suit in fine corkscrew and cassimoro of different and
beautiful shades and at prices almost ono half what other establishments offer.
The most astonishing value over given in a spring suit is offered this week is our now $7
cheviot sack suit. This is made of a splendid all wool cheviot , an elegant color , lined with
fine serge , good trimmings and well made. Now , any house will show-a seven dollar suit , but
we positively assert that no ono will show anything to compare with the quality wo offer in
"this suit for less than $12 , and wo ask but $7 for it.
Our Spring-Overcoats are on the wane ; of the finest grades are but a few loft , and wo
have marked them down to close them out. Of our $6 overcoats wo still have a fair assort
ment. This is the biggest thing over shown in the way of an overcpat and everybody who
has bought one acknowledges that it is as good a garment as is shown anywhere for $12. j
In our hat department we offer this week 25 dozen fine light colored derbys , satin lined
si Ik band and binding , goat sweat leather at $1. If you are asked $2 or $2.50 for the same '
hat you would not hesitate to % , pay it ;
