Tlior Are Full of
The jcsluont traveling men of Grand Is
land ftroso in tbclr righteous indignation Just
before the 4th day of July , wlion'somo un
suspecting but pat riotlo member of tlioir craft
uggesteJ that the traveling men present In
Omaha on that day join the parade In uni
form. They oven wuut so far as to call upon
the merchants of Grand Island to boycott
ny Omaha house \vhlcU should take part lu
ftny such movement that might thus tend to
draw In the least from the local celebration.
The Omaha merchants and thnlr traveling
roan acceded lo the desires of the Grand Is
landers and did abstain from any action
on their part or participation in the
parade In Omulia. Tno Grand Island
boys \vcro so overjoyed by the manner
in whlcb they kept Omaha out of a local
demonstration and by the success of the day
at their own homo that at a meeting held
last Monday night they passed the following
very nrnusmg resolutions :
Kesohoil , That whllo wo nro cognizant of
the friendly fouling of this minor city toward
the great metropolis of tno west ( on account
of bur recent celebration ) , the traveling men
of Grand Island retain an attitude of unre
lenting , Unforgiving , unmagrmuimoui intolerance
erance , and wo hereby solemnly proclaim
that as long us Hfo has passions the demon
of war ucd the spirit of hatred shall reign
supreme in each and every noble breast ;
provided , however , that if on the Fourth duy
oUuly In the year of our Loid , ono thou
sand eight hundred and olshty-nlne , there
shall appear on the beautiful streets of the
magniHccnt city of Omaha , twenty thousand
traveling men leading the largest trades disj
Play oycr seen , then this resolution Is null
and void , otherwise to remain in full force
to the end Of time. And be it further
Ucsolvcd , That a copy of those resolutions
bo furnished the mayor of Omaha , as a fuir
and timely warning.
The resolutions sound Just IlUe a Jolly good
meeting of the boys. The members of. the
fraternity can rest assured that there Is no
city in the West that would give a grander
welcome to the traveling men of the state in
1880 than Omaha and that there is no city in
the state that can stand as big a crowd and
enjoy as lingo n demonstration , The mayor
will sea n copy of your resolutions and will
no dolibt remember the 20,000 statement up
against you. _
Travel Inc Men In Texas.
Mr. 0. A. Hotchkiss , of DallasTex. . , in an
article on the drummers in Texas , written in
reply to some ntticlon in the Alliance organs ,
and showing the bcnolits the stiito derives
from her travollng men , soys : "Five months
in the year there ro 7,030 commercial trav >
olera in the atato of Texas ; the remaining
seven months there are 4,000. In the fal
and spring there arc 7,000 who spend an
average of $3 n day each , or a total of
W5.000 , Sl.030.000 a montn , and for the flvo
months , SJ.i.W.OOO.
"llio remaining seven mouths thcro are
4,0(10 ( who at the samu low average would
spend $ -30,000 a day , $000,000 n month , and
for the seven months , S4,2JJ,000. , Add tnis
to the amount spent by the 7,000 In flvo
mouths and wo have the sum total of $0,450- ,
000 per annum.
"Then there is the drummers' license
whUh , if collected , would amount to 5315,000
direct i avenue to the state. There are about
91,000 merchants now doing business in the
state of Texas. If 10,000 of thcso merchants
wore compelled to go to market twice a ycai
and purchase goods , ns they formerly did , at n
cost of $2,000,000 , mid do awav with thi
drummer nystem , tbo state would los
9,450,009 , besides the $2,000,000 the mer
chants would necessarily spend in going to
market , saying nothing of the $345OCO ; the
stnto derives from the drummori" license ,
This would bo very tough on tbo hotels , llv
cry stables , railroads , etc. ( As it Is , tin
hotels are tough on us ) .
"Just to give you an idea of the hotel bus !
ness. The Grand Windsor of this city am
the Pickwick of Fort Worth will avorngi
each twenty drummers a day throughout tli
year at $2.50 per diiy. This amounts In eac' ' .
cusa $1,000 per month and if 18.000 per annum
from traveling men alone. From the above
will bo Been that the drummers contribute
live times as much to the prosperity of Texas
than the alliance organization is actually
„ woith.
A Trawling Man Killed.
Daniel Smith , of Peacock , N. J. , a travel
lng representative for a New York patent
medicine company , was shot and instantly
killed at Jackson , Tonu. , recently in a fight
with a man named Stovall. Smith had had
Bomo words with Mrs. Stovall and it was
stated that ho told her she had Hod. Hal and
Reginald Stoval , Mrs. Stoval sons , came out
of their room and asked Smith if ho had ac
cused their mother of tolling u lie. A ccuQlc
ensued , nnd Ann Wilson , of Yonkora , N.Y. , a
married daughter of Mrs. Smith , ruined in and
grabbed one of the young men. A running
< ght through the hall , out on the back porch ,
and iuto the dinning room followed. Three
shots were ilrcd , only ono of which took
effect. The ball , a largo ono , entered tbo top
of Smith's head , passing downward , Ho
Btaggcrcd and fell out of the window on the
ground , blood and brains oozing from the
\vnuud. The young men gave thonsolvos up ,
and whllo it Is admitted Hal fired the shot
which killed Smith , both say they are equally
to blame. < v
Smith was forty-seven years old and leaves
a wlfo und family.
A Contract on Hand.
The Merchant Traveler in speaking editor
ially of the outlook for the T. P. A. says :
N , J. Pickering , the neWly elected presi
dent , has a mighty woik to perform if ho suc
ceeds In saving the T. P. A , from Html disso
lution. Ho takes charge of nn association
which is virtually bankrupt. 2,500 in debt
.und a dissatisfies ] membership to draw from.
He is liundlcapiRjd by such unpopular aud in
efficient men us Stone , Silverstouo ct al. It
is too much of a load for any man to carry.
If his conlus can get the association through
the 3 ear perhaps another convention
will bo wise enough to elect officers
"Who will bo of assistance to him , but it Is
ttoubtful. Each succeeding meeting glows
moro prurient and disgraceful. The Minne
apolis meetings as two-thirds of the time n
howling 'nob without aim or order , and the
report of the meeting shows that nothing
vras iiono. Most , of the delegates went , ns
they expressed It , to "hnvo a good tlmo , "
unQ cured very little whether the T. P. A.
. Jived or tiled. They were all prepared to
dance at tbo funeral. It Is tnthor expensive
fun for the rank aud Ala to run an associa
tion nt nn expense of $ 10,000 per yc.ir for the
suko of giving loss than a hundred men a
week's iccrcation. The membership grows
steadily lens , and who can wonder nt It I
Hustling For Customers.
The following short colloquy shows some
Of the trick * of the drummer' * trade :
"Which way do you gol"
"Un towards Lancaster and Jlarrlsburg. "
' I go to 'Javscy.1"
"I must aklrmlsh to-morrow nnd hunt up
Bomo snaps for the boys , " said a third
speaker.
Tlireetravellng salesmen , nil members of
the nstoolatien , stood outside the door of the
association roomslG3JMurl < otstrect , the ether
tiveumgwhcua Philadelphia Dally Kownmun
Imppoiied along. They were arranging to start
in different directions on long trios for their
houses , and ono of them kindly undeitook to
explain what ho meant by providing " ( snaps'1
forthe hiiya.
"Von BOO ifpleaica our customers to show
them the latest novultles when wo visit their
ntoro. and wo aim to get around and upend a
fnw dollars buying them up buforo wo leave
the city. Tor instance , see this. "
The salesman stepped over to a lighted
store window , took u small piece of rubber
train Ids pocket , wet ono end , 6tuck.it on the
smooth glass window , nnd then coolly uuns
bis silk hut on the object.
"You i stick ono on a door wall , mirror , or
fcar window .when traveling , and it Is a rcgu-
Jiir hook for 5 ou.r hat or COM. Wb'cn you ae-
pnrt ] ust pull It loose and stick It in your\cit ;
pocket. It catches tiro-merchant. "
The salesman then displayed a scnrfpln
made llk'o a ekull , and by pressing a button
on'hlg vest a tongue ran out nnd the eyeballs
rolled In It. Ho had a cane , tbo ton of which
opened by touching spring and a tiny wax
taper was revealed , whllo touching another
spring , n ipatch-safo flow out of the. side ot
the cane. Ho had a patent pair of eyeglasses
that madotncn sccurtobo standing on their
beads. Ho took from his coat pocket n funny
cigar case , a pocketbook that let your bank
notes , If lucky enough to have any , disappear
when tilaccd in a compartment.
"I pick thcso up ID a store % n Market

and thov are generally , or. at least , at first ,
Imported from Purls ; but after a few nro

this holes mo make sales , " ho concluded , as
his friends prepared to move down street.
Thirty Thousand Against a Broncho.
A traveling man was discussing politics at
the Kcnnard house in Cleveland the other
day and related the following story of a hotel
man's tot : "United States Senator Stock-
bridge , " said he , "was in Detroit a few days
ago , and stopped at the Russell house , of
which W. J. Chlttcndcn , a prominent demo
crat , is tlio proprietor. The senator , attired
in a bran now suit of gray , formed ono of a
group of gentlemen in the corridor of the
hotel before dinner , and , the conversation
turning on politics , some ono asked him If bo
liked the republican ticket. * I should say I
did like it , ' replied the senator. 'Wo will
catry cvcy northern state , und gain two or
three congressmen In Michigan. ' Mr. Clut-
tcudcn laughed at this , and the laugh was
nbDUt 00 per cent sarcasm. This stirred up
Senator Stockbrldgo , and ho said : 'I'll toll
you what I will do , Chlttondcn. I'll Just bet
jou the best horse I own against n broncho
that Harrison will bo the next president of
the United States. ' 'That's a good bet , ' re
plied Cltittcndt-n , 'and I will take It , ' nt the
sama time booking the wager. Both nro men
of their word In suuh matters. Senator
Stockbridga'n best horse is a stallion valued
at $30,000. "
Ho Was from IOWA.
George Smith and Will Brown are two
names that nro ns good as any to use in the
narration of an inoidnnt. says an exchange ,
in which well known and popular Cincinnati
traveling men recently figured.
Brown's remark of "Como nnd have a
drink" was what led to the embarrassing sit
uation that ensued.
"Certainly , " was the prompt responno.
"By the way , " said Brown , after ho had
prudently thrust his hand Into his pocket ;
"you'll have to take beer. "
"Tnko bcorl"
"Yes , I Just discovered that I've only got
15 cents. "
"Oh , I see. "
They stepped into the bar room , and as. a
matter of form Brown imjuiiod : "What'll
you take , Smith J"
'I think I'll taUoti mint julep , " responded
Smith without changing a uiusclo.
"A which ! "
"A. mint julep. "
"What'll you takol" Inquired the bar
keeper of Brown.
"Me ! " said Brown , with pensive sadness ,
"I think I'll take a glass of water. "
The Drummer's Kelmke.
The following very interesting account is
given by the Now York Tribune , of the way
a local traveling man rebuked a tailor for
having his chock certified : "August Gross ,
a traveling agent for Chatlcs Scrlbner's
Sons , ordered a suit of clothes from L. S.
Pakas , a tailor , of No. 749 Broadway , a short
tlmo ago. and paid for it in advance with a
chock. Pakas wont to tbo bank and had the
check certified , Mr. GIOSH did not like that
manner of treating his check and called on
the tailor nt his store and told him so. Be
fore ho loft the pluco Gross broke an obnay
cano over the tailor's head , Inflicting three
scalp wounds , splitting open his lip und
bUicldng both oycs. The tailor says the as
sault was unprovoked , and ho Iiaii Mr. Qrops
arrested and arraigned In the Hnrlcui court
the next day. Gross B.IVS ho did not assault
Palcns until Pakas shook his fist In his face
and had hold of him by the coat collar. Ho
soya ho refrained from attacking tbo tailor
until assaulted himself , because ho know ho
could thrash Pakas and did so as thoroughly
as ho know how when bo was forced to do It.
Gross was hold in § 500 ball by Justice Gor
man for trial , "j
What the Boys See.
A commercial traveler writing to the St.
Paul Glebe over the nom do plume Yuot says
of their profession and work : There is no
Irfo so full of incidents as the life of tno com
mercial traveler lu his daily rounds from
town to town. Ho sees everybody , hears
everything good , bo puts up at u poor hotel
or a good one , rides on freight trains , making
long and tedious trips , meeting different
chai actors , and n hundred and ono other
things which would bo of interest to the
public and a real benefit to a number of com
mercial travelers and their friends. I bopo
the boys will take hold of this matter and
contribute a little whenever possible. It is
not a feature of the commercial travelers to
let anything lag that bears their immo. So
come to tho. front and fire off your wit nnd
wisdom that the world and the hoys may bo
benefited by it.
A Good Mint Going Wrong.
The story has gotten out among the boys
that Ed L. Shepherd , with Dodson , Fisher &
Brockrnnnn , Mtnnoapplls , ono of tbo most
popular and best known traveling men on tbo
road , will bo united in marriage on the 18th
inst. to Miss Brcon , of Cleveland. O. , a lady
of great beauty , nnd ono of the leading belles
of her native city. After spending a few
weeks east ho will return with his bride to
Fargo , where be will make his home. Mr.
Shepherd has the good wishes of all the boys
and "will no doubt bo substantially remem
bered on that great aay by many of them.
TAKING IN A TOWN.
The Fighters Who Traveled Together
and Took in Strangers.
"Whllo I was travollng through Texas for
a Now York notion house , " says a writer in
the Philadelphia North Ameiteun , " I had a
chance to sco many things which you seldom
see in the oast. In October , 1S3 , I landed
in Galveston for the first time , and being
somcwlmt of a 'boy about town,11 concluded
to 'take in' the town that night. So , closely
pocketing the $100 note I hud for expenses , I
started out , aud the first place I 'struck' was
a well known sporting resort on street.
I shall never forgot It , for tno very next day
I had to part with my gold repeater at
a sacrifice to meet current expenses.
Well , to continue , I walked boldly up to the
bar , oiilorcd drinks all around , and the com
pany was about saying , 'Your health ,
stranger , ' when the door \ \ as suddenly fiupg
open , uiul lu strode the biggest Dutchman I
ever saw in my life. Ho roared out : 'Shust
iou dhrlnk dat to do Dutch chlant's hcaldt
or I'll glean dls d d blaoo end , sooner ns
quick. Maypo you dond know mo. Veil , I
Bhust toll jou who I pn. 1 po do Dutch
chiant , und can llg all do mans in Texas for
u $100 to u $1,103 , ' Ho glared at us as if ho
intended to dovourus together when It suited
him. Ho wus u finely built follow , standing
about six feet three inches , broad shoulders ,
long , straight limbs , and his very appearance
Justified his threat. ' '
No ono had apparently noticed a llttlo Irish
man about five foot seven und a half Inches
in height , who bad been-slump in ono cor
ner of the room , until hn carelessly walked
un to the big Dutchman and said : "Phat tbo
dlvil do you inane by making so doomed much
noise ? If yor want tor fight for 'ducats' I'm
yer man , and will fight yo with bare knuckles
for a thousand dollars.1'
"Almo Gott lu himuiCil , shust iou listen to
dat babv , " said the Dutchman. "V'oll , oI
bade you I llg you ia file minutes , "
"Well , yon won't lick mo at all , atall . "said
the plucky llttlo Irishman.
A rlug was soon formed In a back room , a
referee chosen and both put up $1,000 each.
Before the fight commenced the Irishman
eald : "I will take any reasonable 1)ots that I
lick him In thirty minutes. " Everybody
tlioucht.hlm entry , unfl everybody wanted to
bet him. He got nil sorts of beta three to
one. and In some cases bo bet even money.
Betting ran high ; Irom S100 to $500 by each
individual. The fight couimcncca , and it
was n bloody light from first to last. It was
clearly > ecn that the Irishman was the bettor
sclonctjdof the tno. The fight lasted twcn-
ty-fivo mlnutus when with
, , a well-directed
blow , straight from the shoulder , the Irish
man doubled the Dutchman "un in the
corner. When time was called be did
not lospoml. The Irishman walked'
carelessly out of the saloon , taking with him
ray etOO , a cjear winner of 83,100 , not counting
life Dutchman's 1100. I eaw them twice on
the snmo trip afterward , dnco In San Antonio
and once lu teredo , fighting , as usual , and
onch tlmo the Dutchman was "licked. * ' Why
shouldn't he , when ho pot moro than $1,000
for each "licking. " When I mot them in
Laredo I "twigged" their gamo. They
traveled together , but as strangers. In each
town thov would select the "monejcd"
sporting resort , and would meet there as
strangers , kick up a row between themselves
and offer to fight for any amount of money.
Of course the bcU were in most every In *
stance made by the Irishman on bltnself , and
every time vho walked away with tbo cash.
Oh , yes I I got my $100 back tad WO more
they gave mo not to "squeak"

A tonic is what nervous people require. To
impart strength into the nervous organism is
to insure its traaqullity , provided causes of
unhealthful excitement are avoided. A uied-
leal tonic like that like Hosteller's Stomach
ach Bitters commands tha unqualified
sanction ot the hpallng profession , and which
institutes a general reform In a bilious , dys
peptic und debilitated condition of our sys
tem , is surely entitled to a careful trial by
intelligent | > coplo , capable of forming a duo
estimate of a medicine from emphatic nnd
often recorded professional evidence in its
behalf. Not only are thu nerves and stomach

Wouldn't Bull Her.
A well-known theatrical manager in
the olty says tbo San Franclbco Chron
icle , has iubt gone to housekeeping. Ho
has a cook xyhoso only fault is that she
despises the theater. It hurts his feel
ings , but bho's a great cook and an ex
cellent servant , But ho can't get her
to go to hia theater- She turns up her
nose at seats in the dress circle , and
oven a private box has no temptation
for her. The other day the mistress
asked her if she did not want to see a
play. '
"No , av you plaso , I don't care for it
atall , atall. "
"I will givp you two nice spats , and
you must get a friend and go. "
"An' sure , ma'am , what for should I
go ? To bee them make love and flop

O ' '
No Choir For Hor.
An opera singer * ouco well known ,
but living quietly in Brooklyn justnow ,
found that her income as music teacher
needed piecing out , so she applied for
the position of choir singer in a local
church. The chairman of the music
committee asked her if slip could road
music. She believed she could at all
event she would try. So , taking the
score that was handed to her , she stood
beside the organ and began to sing. As
her voice swelled through the church
the committee sat silent and wondering ,
but when she had finished the chairman
sprang forward and said : "Oh , no ,
madam , wo can not engage you. "
"I'm so sorry"bhe answered ; " ! would
like tocoino. "
"Impossible , " said the chairman.
"But I will sing1 for n little. I will
como for 81,000. ' '
"AU , madam , wo give our loading so
prano only 8300. "
She did not joiirtho choir.

on tlio brink of the grave. A few doses

On the "Make-Up. "
Mmo. Rlstorl says : "I have always
boon of the opinion of Mile , Clarion
that the less paint or powder an actoc
or actress employs , the bettor. " It will
bo remembered that wo quoted this
famous actress of the eighteenth cen
tury , who was so opposed to the use of
lards aud grpases , powders and paints ,
that she scarcely "inado up" at all.
Mine. Rtstorl continues : "I therefore
'novcr employed arty moans beyond thbso
absolutely necessary to bring out the
characteristics of the porsonagol was
"ropVosonting. " Iloro wo must dbsorvo
that It has been given to few artists to
possess the peculiarly regular and beau
tiful features of Mme. lustori , which to
readily lent themselves to the ideal
representations of heroic and historical
pereonagos" Her noble face required
but little mako-up to give us a complete
idea of what a Medea or a Myrtha
should be. Indeed , few painters would
care for a liner mpdol ; and so mobile
was her expression that the least alter
ation in her headdress changed her
countenance completely into at least an
ideal picture of the character she
wished to represent.
