On Tuesday night ho vis ited Arlington and started to walk back ncrow the railroad bridge. Ho had got to the center of the bridge when ho heard a freight train approaching. Tlio bridge has no footpath , and there was no room for Cald wcll to stand In safety while the train was passing.

Ho did not leave tlio cur at nil , and only his seat once at Montgomery , and Is confident the valise was In place when ho loft that city. He missed it Just before tlio train ar rived In Cincinnati. How ] ) r n minors Eat. The proprietor of a country hotel In Pcnn-j Bylvanin , in the Merchant Traveler , says that it Is worth 25 cents more to feed n drum mer than a farmer for several reasons. First , a farmer may oat a great deal , but lie takes plain food that costs but littlewhile n drummer wades through the bill from one end to the other , eating a little of each arti cle. "It isn't .always what one cats , " re marked this Boniface , "tho articles that are wasted must always bo counted in. " Secondly , a farmer requires no attendance , wlillo a jlrummer wants to keep at least ono waiter constantly on the go , Thirdly , u farmer solaoin grumbles , but devours what U sot before him ; n commer cial man is an accomplished growler , mid growls away moro than 23 cents worth of the bonifaco's good humor. Wo do not wish the nbovo to bo considered ns our Hcutiments. Wo are neutral on the ijucRtlon. The above Is only the opinion of Uo landlord. We should bo glad to hoar from the com mercial men on the question. Jlo IMnyoil in Imok. When James Boyd , n di'ummcr for n Pitts- fturg llrm , boarded a Cleveland fc Pittsburg train at Newburg Wednesday afternoon , ho discovered ho had lost his pocketbook , cons iainlng 31,503. Ho Jumped from the train and retracQd his steps up Broadway , search- lug for his lost purse. He retraced his steps in auurch of the wallet and on being united by n stranger wlmVho was hunting , stated that ho had lost his pockotbook.

The Minneapolis Tribune published In a recent issue cuts of the president aud secre tary of the Northwestern traveling tiicu's association with the following : Mr. James Q , Miller is widely known among commercial travelers of the whole country as president of the Northwestern traveling men's association. Mr. Miller has devoted much lime to tlio detail of the asso ciation , and Its success is largely duo to his faithfulness. Mr. Charles H. Hlnmnn , secretary nnd treasurer of the Northwestern traveling men's association , Is n Minnesota production , nnd No. 3 In the organization of which ho Is secretary , and among all of the older travel ers In the northwest ho Is well known. Ho was one of the founders of thli mo t success ful organization ; In fact. Is credited largely with being tlio father of It , Ho that as It in ay. ho Is popular with the membership , at tentive to his duties nnd can't bo beat as a good secretary. ° A Jrunmicr'n r/oss of Check , Q. 1C. Murray , a drunnrjcr for a largo Chicago cage house , tolls the following story of how Gooriro H , Doll ; A drummer for n largo litho graphing house in the same city , slashed off his car and part of his cheek last Monday in a cigar store in Chicago : " 1 met Boll on the street and ho insisted upon my going down to see his brother. I told him I was perfectly willing to go nnd see his brother , but I would talk to him alone , or if it was necessary I would take n friend of mine and go and sea him. As 1 got to the comer of Adams nnd Dearborn directs I said I would got a friend to come with me. as 1 did not care to go there where there might possibly ue a half a dozen of his friends nnd none of mlno. I said to Hell If ho would stopnt the express company building I would got my friend. Ho said : 'No ; you can't now. Come right along with mo or I'll put a bullet through you. ' I said I was not afraid of that , but would go If ho wanted mo but not alone. Ho wanted to know if this friend of mlno was In the building , and I said I would go up in the elevator and get him. He was evidently afraid I would slip nway , but 1 had no such intention. 1 went over to the cigar stand and asked the boy if ho would give uio a card to make a note on. He did so. aud I turned round nnd commenced to write , and before 1 had written three words Bell stepped up behind mo crept up and cro I could renll/o what had happened , my car was cut off. I was so astonished 1 had no time to solzo him. I then told the elevator boy to get Mr. Judah , nnd when ho canio down I was taken to his room , a doctor was called and my ear bountt up , and I was afterward taken to the doctor's ofilco. " Mr. Boll accuses Mr. Murray of having been criminally intlmato with his wifewhich charges Murray denies. Ho began prosecution proceedings against hla assailant for mayhem. A Ministerial Drummer. Uov. Henry B. Cole is the subject of a lengthy biography In a recent Issue of the St. Paul Globe. The chief points of interest In the article are the facts that Mr. Cole was educated for the ministry nnd followed his profession for some years , nnd finally loft it to accept a position on the floor of H. B. Clallln & Co.'s house In New York. Ho Is" now developing the business of H. B. Claflln on the Paclllo slope , and will have headquarters at Tacoma. Last year he wus In Washington territory , and satisfied him self that there was a great future for thnt country. Mr. Cole is spoken of as a man of strong character and strong Intellect. Ho spends a great many of his Sundays In the pulpit yet ana endeavors to lead the boys in the straight and narrow path. Ho will make some heavy investments in Tacoma for him self and his firm and will wove his family there within the next year. Pay by IictlRer Accounts. A Minneapolis commercial traveler in ad vocating the subject of llrms paying their men on the basis of their ledger accounts writes as follows to the Tribune of that city ; A few weeks ago I tried to call out an ex pression of the C. T.'s in relation to the twin city Jobbers paying their traveling salesmen ou the basis of the ledger accounts , but no ono seems to give it enough thought or atten tion to offer nny ideas on the subject. Cun it bo that I am the only ono that is desirous of receiving credit for sales made in the house aud of which trade was drawn there through my labor and influcu p In the coun- tory ? The subject is called moro vividly to mind , having this week made a forty-mile team trip In the rain , and mud hub-deep , to find thnt two of my customers ou the trip had ] urt goim Into the house to buy. Several Of the boys of late seem to quite awaken over the mileage topic and write quite frequently on the subject , but to mo it seems to bo of much infnor importance as compared to the above. If I am alone in this desire to bring about the change , I shall have to endorse it , but otherwise let us hear from some of the weekly contributors to the traveling men's column , nnd by a union of ideas and action we may be able to bring about valuable fruit. Ho was a Mnslicr. The following Joke Is told at the expense of n St. Paul traveling man , who on this oc casion assumed the mime of Graves. While going down Xumbrota narrow gauge a few weeks ago ho became enraptured with the beauties of ono of our Xuuibro Falls fair maidens who happened to bo on the train , and not content with the short and meager acquaintance which was then afforded ho in quired of the trainmen the lady's name , nnd through seine misclilovousness thyy wrong fully gave him the name of the lady tele graph operator at the above iinmod place , and a few days ago she received a letter from him containing the same old cupId's stori. The operator holds the letter ready for delivery to the proper owner upon tlio party stepping forward and presenting his claim. IC.xocKslvo ISnKKiKo Hntos. The subject of high and oven excessive baggage rates for travelers occupied a great dcul of the Iowa legislature's time last win ter and the present conditions of rates is worse than before tlio legislature convened. Before the Interstate commerce law went into effect every holder of a 1,000 mile ticket was entitled to " 00 ixmuds of baggage free. Well , to vent thcirsplccn , the roads advanced the 1,1100 niilo tickets from 20 to ftJ3 , ami nt the same time cut tlio excess baggage down from : 0 IKDunits to 150 pounds. This means lo a Jobber employing eight men that tlio Jlfty iKrauds difference to every transfer is S3 cents , thrvo transfer ! ) per day 75 cents , multiplied by eight is ft ) per day ; for the year of SOU days Is ? 1SOU. Add to this amount the difference in 100 mileage books , $500 ; this ingle item U t2'M > . To cut the complaint short and draw It mild , it is a severe tax uj.on the best patrons of the roud. Governor I.arabeo of Iowa , In reply to a letter addressed him on this subject by one of the leading Jobbers of the state of Minnesota - seta , writes as follows : Your favor of the 10th insl. at hand and noted , I realize the injustice of the action on the part of the railroad oQlcials In raising the rate of 1,000 mile tickets from $ JO to fi5 and at the SAIUU time increasing the cliaruo for transporting commercial travelers. Any rate in excess of that which was established for j ears in this state for commercial travel- era is , in niy opinion , extortion. Wo have a statute agulnat extortion aud also have a board of railway commissioners to JOOK after violations of the law , and I advise you to look to them for relief. Yours truly , WILUAM Laiuuee. The Travelers' Friend. The Northwestern Travelers' association has been organized a little over thirteen years , and during that time it has accomp lished great good to Its members. The fol lowing statistics will gjvo a faint idea of its work : It has paid since its organization over 11,000,00 , ) to the widows and orphans of commeicial travelers. It has never cost to exceed $35 per year for 13,000 insurance. The average ago of the members Lo decreased Instead of Increased. Since January I , this year , It paid a total of tlM,003 ( , Every man in the northwest under forty years of ope , Who Is eligible to membership , ought to become - come n member. Lay aside the selfish Idea that because you have no family of your own dependent upon you that you do not heed it. Moro Is this the reason why you should bo- coma a member. You arc helping to sustain an institution that is carrying sunshine nnd consolation where otherwise would bo dark ness and despair. It is the duty of every single commercial men , as well as tboso with families , to become members of the N. W.T. M. A. Ho WIXB Too FrcIi. The following was tmbllsncd in last Mon day's BEE as a special from Tobias , Nob. , and fully explains Itself : Fay E.

ADDITIONAL OOUNOILi BLUFFS The Jobbltiff Trade. Thcro Is no class of business men In Coun cil Bluffs who are inoro contented with their location and moro hopeful of the future than the Jobbers. The Hgurcs have lately been gathered and footed , ' with the surprising showing of JTO,000C03 as the total of the Job bing business of Council Bluffs for 1887. This year promises n great Increase. The local facilities for the Jobbers are most excel lent , and they are enabled to reach out ever a very largo territory in every direction. There are fully ! ! 00 traveling men who find this a most convenient center , the roads running out in every direction , so that they can easily work from hero any desired terri tory. The advantages of Council Bluffs as a Jobbing center have been thoroughly tested , and the Increasing business IB the most satis factory answer to the question , Is it a good wholesale point I Sunday Hall. The J. J. Hardln ball team of Omaha came ever for a little fun with the Bluffs boys and had it for live Innings , At the end of that time a change took place which rcsuttcd in an ending that was wholly unexpected. The score in the second Inning was 8 to 1 in favor of tlio visitors , but the homo sluggers finally got their second wind nnd piled up twelve tallies in ono tuning. Six of them were on homo runs. The scdro at the end of the game was 13 to 20 in'favorof ' the Bluffites , and the announcement of the victory was received with much Incredulity on the streets by many who had left the grounds In dis gust at an early stage of the gamo.

Yesterday was the date of the opening of the boating season at Lake Mannwa , and the motor cars were taxed to their full capacity during the entire day to carry the many vis itors who wished to'tako ' a trip to the lake. The steamers were h'eavlly loaded on every- trip , and one was kept running through the evening. The new steamer was taken to the lake yesterday and will bo put together Im mediately. The owners of row boats did o thriving business , and the members of the rowing club were well represented on the water. The C. E. Mayno was laid up for repairs , but the now screw will be placed in position to day and will probably resume her trips this evening. Harmon Bros , did it thriving business at the hotel , and the sea son nt tlio lake bids fair to bo very prosper ous for them. Crushed on the Rail. A man while trying to board the Rock Island train at about 8 o'clock fell and had his right arm badly crushed the full length and his head and shoulder badly hurt.

G-p okman Drug Co , SUMMER CLOTHING , During the past week we made several large purchases of Summer Clothing at an immense loss to the manufacturers , who , through the backward state of the season found themselves overstocked and pressed for cash. Owing to this fact , we secured these lots at our own figures , and being determined to make a big advertisement with them , we have marked them at such prices that this will be the most sensational sale of the season. As this collection of Summer Coats and Vests is larger and more varied than has ever before been seen in any retail clothing house , and the inducements greater than ever before presented , our patrons will do well to avail themselves of this opportunity to secure seasonable goods at an immense sacrifice. Among tlio goods tlius offered and which are placed oil sale this weekwo nioiition tlio follow- iiig : About 1,000 good Seorsuokor Coats and Vests in. several elegant and neat patterns , at 75c for the Coat and Vest. Those are the identical goods which are sold everywhere at $1.50. TOO Flannel Coats and Vests in the moat beautiful checks and stripes at 75c. This Coat and Vest is worth fully $2.00. 4oO of the finest Mohair Coat and Vests , light colored , of stylish cut , and well made at $2.50. The regular price for such goods is $4.OO. Several other big lots of fine llannol aud Mohair Coats and Vests in attractive plain colors at $2.95 and $3.25 ; goods for which other houses would ask $5.00 and $6.00.
