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.

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.

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

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. Luck
made up for lack of , science. The players
were as much surprised as anybody.
The printers and S.cotswoods played on
the grounds near Gr6cii's packing house. It
was an exciting game all way through. Ten
innings were played. Score by innings :

Sunday at Manatva.
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. The
accident will probably prove fatal. J , B.

by trade and hulled from Omaha recently.
Ho has a brotncr In Galcsburg , 111. Ago
about forty-five .years. Was inebriated and
had forced a door on the side of a freight car
and was climbing in when ho full under
from a misstep on the osldo cable rod. Ho
was taken to St. Bernard's hospital for
treatment.

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.
