When the Southern hotel burned In St.

looal papers the next morning called him

Mr Uroekway iippcared nt n third stor }

Tin ; Protci Uvn Union.
The Traveling Men's Protective union Is
an organization that has been in existence n
little over four years. Shortly after the
fourth annual meeting , which was held nt
Davenport , In. , haJ adjourned , the secretary
addressed an open letter to the DCS Molnes
State Register on the bcnellts of the associa
tion to the traveling mun , The letter was
briefly as follows :
"For the information of those Who arc Ig
norant of the objects of tills union , let me
say , it wni not organized m Iho interest of
any combination or Jobber , but earnestly for
the protection of our salesmen , nnd in favor
of honest expense accounts , and for foiling
roods in an upright , manly and legitimate
way. Heretofore prices have been m.ldo nnd
lebates fiven , and underhanded , unscrupu
lous , methods resorted to , that no honest Job
ber or B.ilcsman could contend with. Ho
hope's to overcome this by this union , the
members of which pledge themselves not to
cut prices on goods , with penalties attached ,
nnd to use every effort to have the same en
forced.
"This wo have entered Into most earnestly ,
nnd , as our membership is rapidly Increas
ing , feel assured of success. Wo have a regu
larly organ ized executive board , whose duty is
to attend to those detected in cutting prices ,
ami in localities wo have already succeeded
in establishing a healthier trade.
"Only n few of Iho retailers object to the
stand taken , nnd many of thorn think It , will
result In fairer dealings among themselves.
The chairman of the executive committee is
10. B. If earns , of Uiirlington , la. , who may bo
addrcs ud on nil matters concerning cuts ,
reporting , etc. The "now low.i law" on cnn-
binations , corporations , trusts , etc. , docs not
affect us whatever. Wo hojio those dilatory
ones who have boon hanging back for some
one else llrst will promptly put their own
shoulder to the wheel. "

A traveling man for a Now York IIOURO
called last week at llrcnk Hros.'just after
dinner , says the Yenowino News , to sell
sonio goods. Joe was busy draughting n
garment that was promised for Saturday at
I ) o'clock sharp , and Hob left his cutting
table to look at Iho samples. The goods
were Just unpacked when a gentleman eamo
In to have his coat tried on. The agent
waited. A businessman then consumed Just
twenty minutes in selecting the goods nnd
leaving his measure for i\ blue serge coat
and vest , and cool , striped trousers. The
agent , waited. A doctor followed , nnd selected
a wide wale diagonal for cutaway coat and
vest , and light trousers. His measure
was taken and thirty minutes moro was con
sumed. The agent got In llvo minutes work
when a young man came in for a llanncl
suit , but decided on a light weight sacque ,
pique vest and pinchbeck trousers. The
agent grew restless and looked at his watch.
A gentleman then came in , absorbing nearly
half tin hour more and took some samples for
his wife to ilecido on. The ngont said howe
wo .lid call again when they wcro not so busy ,
but when informed that ho could not Hud amore
moro favorablw time , ho waited and sue

There are a disappointed lot of commercial
drummers In this city at present , says the
San Francisco Chronicle. They all hail from
the cast , nml they came out hero on the
strength of the reports that the inter-stato
commerce commissioners were about to lay
an iron hand upon the railroad companies ,
which action would , it was believed , result
in it great advance of rates before August 1.
The drummers had only got fairly down to
work here In making their arguments with
the merchants that now was the time to buy
goods while freight rates still remained ut
low llgurcs , when the Chronicle published a
p'-ivato dispatch received from a member of
the Transcontinental association , stating that
no change would be made In rates until
August 1 , nnd that oven then the outlook
was favorable for a continuance of the old
tariff. This intelligence has sent a chill
down the back of each of the drummers ,
who now fear that their mission to this coast
wns in vain. Meantime the merchants are
congratulating themselves on the outlook for
the maintenance ot the present tariff.

A Philadelphia drummer saw a man In a
railroad car , whom ho thought ho know ,
says the Denver Koail , and slapping him on
the back , asked him how ho was. The man
looked up , and the drummer saw that ho was
a stranger. Ho apologized , saying that ho
thought that ho was a frienu of his. What
followed is best told by a Jersey newspaper :
"I hope I am a friend of yours , " the man
said , and they irot to talking , and the com
mercial man , seeing the gentleman's grip
sack , thought ho must bo a commercial man
also , and nsked him what house ho repre
sented. " 1 represent , " said the gent'oinan ,
"tho largest hotibo in the world. " "Well , "
said the traveling man , "if you represent the
largest house in the world you certainly have
a snap What liouso is it1" "The Lord's

Ilooku Instead ofDrummerH.
A number of Now York Jobbers are now
llgnring on a plan for selling goods to their
customers by means of Jobbers' price lists
instead of having representatives on the
road to look after their customers. The
plan , according to interviews with whole-
sillers on the above plan as published In the
Mail nnd Express , Is to have largo circular
or pamphlet prlco lists printed each month to
mail to one's customurs nnd allow them to
make the orders from the prices quoted In
the lUts. The plan would save the merchants
thousands ( if dollars expended iu salaries
nud nllls , but whether it would hold their
business or not is n question that will be set
tled after they liuvtt tried the experiment.

will await the pleasure of the traveling men ,
for whom It has been arranged , to name the

ADDITIONAL COUNCIL BLUFFS.
AVinnint ; Men.
In the course of his morning sermon
at the Congregational church yesterday
Rev. G. W. Crofts remarked that it wns
to bo regretted that so many ministers
felt it necessary to preach so much
against Such evils as dancing , card play
ing , theater-going , Sunday base ball ,
etc. Ho believed that if Christ was so
preached as to reach the hearts of men
those matters would quickly regulate
themselves. The province of the
church wns not merely to light sin , butte
to probont truth so forcibly and attract
ively that men would be drawn toward
it. Men generally needed only to bo
thoroughly convinced what was best for
them , and they would strive to secure
that. The church should bo made moro
attractive than the ball game or the
card rooms. Then there-would bo little
necessity of spending time in denun
einlions. Mr. Moody had clearly taken
this position , and follow the policy. He
illustrated it by _ the incident" a
mother whoso child got hold of a pair
of scissors. The alarmed mother tried
to get the child to give them up , but
finding the little one so obstinate that
force would need bo used , offered the
little ono an orange. The scisbors
dropped from the dimpled but clinched
list , and the orange ttiKcn. It was nec
essary sometimes to wrest the harmful
scissors , but the wise way was to oiler
ono something belter to take the place
of the evil.

Ily lU-aion lor U'riliii a llo U Upon Private , Special and Nervous Diseases.
I have for many years made a specialty of diseases of the urinary and sexual organs , have become a recognized authority upon the subject , consequently I receive an
immense number of letters from physicians and atllictcd persons , asking my opiiiiun and advice upon individual cases. For the benefit of such persons , I have wiittcn a book ,
giving a general description of the most common diseases and conditions , my treatment , success , advice , etc. After leading itpersons will have a clearer idea of their condition nnd
can write me more intelligently and to the point It will therefore be seen that our object in writing these pages is not to furnish reading matter to a class ot persons who read out of
mete idle curiosity , but for the benefit of the many who are siillering to a greater or lc-.s degree from diseases , or the effects of diseases or abuses , of the sexual or urinary organs.
Not a day pnsies but we red ivc many calls or letters Irom persons suffering from this class of discuses , or their sequel. Many of them are ignorant of the cause of the difficulty
that has wrecked their constitutions , thrown a cloud over their bright prospects and is shortening their days.
