NEWS FOR TRAVELING MEN , The Worklngo Among the Knights of the Grip Last "Wook. A DRUMMER'S OPINION OFOMAHA Mo Thinks Slio Is the Queen of the West How tlin Itnjr 8 Wiirk Their UnKS Ro Checks Anionj ; tlio Oninlin Boyn. Tioublc In tlio Cninn. The sailing of the Indemnity and Relief ns- goclatton faai not always and Is not oven now nroooth. The members of the Travelers' Protccttvo association nro the ones that suf fer moat from this state of nftnlrs , A writer In the Minneapolis Tribune , lit speaking of the organization , its needs and the way to make it n success , says : Iho work that lias been accomplished by the association in the past should bo a tower of strength for it in the future , and it Isono of the incomprehensible things that men who avcraRO up as well ns cbmincrcinl travelers in business ability , Intcllgcnco and fore thought , cun for the moment think of aban doning an organization based on such broad mid llooral principles , covering as it docs tlio chusm between ordinary lifo insurance and common accident Insurance. Let us reason the matter a little. Every man , bo ho commercial traveler or not , is liable at any moment ot any dny to bo stricken down by sickness ; ills means of pro curing assistance for these dependant upon him ceases from the very fact that ho Is unable - able to perform tlio labor required by his employer , ana the latter not being m the business of running a charity institution , is compelled to withdraw his support from the man who In health would bo valuable in his service. The question then comes : What shall bo done for bread to cat ? It is a well If nown fiict that fully 80 per cent of tlio 500- 000 travelers lu tlio United States nro impo- cunlous. This being the fact , it seems that the provisions of this association should recommend themselves without argument to every man who carries a grip and is the head of a family. The promises of the asso- 'elation can bo easily and faithfully kept by the oniccrs If the rank and tlio will fulfill their part of the agreement. The latter can bo Hummed up in thrco words pay your assessments. Suppose that you arc called upon to pay $2 each month into the treasury , it should cut no figure , and provoke - voko no demurrer from the inostimpccinilous member of the fraternity. He must bo poor indeed who can shoulder a responsibility of acting la the capacity of commercial traveler and cannot , by hook orcrook , lay b.y tJtwolvo times a year as a provision against tbo vicis situdes of lifo ; but tins amount is not neces sary. Good faith , honest fulfillment of con tract on the part of these who voluntarily enter into tlio contract , will accomplish the faithful carrying out of. their obligation by the ofllcers of the association for , at the outside - side , $1.50 n month. Let us then , for a brief period , unload our hellish , suspicious and en vious fcclingsj hang them on n hickory limb and pray that a cyclone may como that way , or at least that wo may never return to claim that part of our apparol. tuaving divested ourselves of these garments , lot us deter mine that wo will with ono accord and in good fulth give tlio indemnity and rcliof asso ciation twelve months of fair , square , honest support , and then if it is not a success , hang our harps upon.tho willow and let tlio associ ation sink into that obscurity which it will then deserve. Tlio Drummers' Rag agi ) Dodges. At a meeting of the National Association of Baggage Agents held recently in New York somu very peculiar questions in regard to their business came up for consideration , Among the mattois discussed , according tea a report In the Sun , was tlio circumvention ot alleged wicked dodges of. wily drummers , ttio facilitation of the transportation of the baggage of through transportation to , the west , and regulation for the transportation of corpses wore the important subjects con sidered by the members of the National Asso ciation of Uaggngo Agents , who finished . .thoir seni-"annual [ meeting. They consid ered thcso matters behind closed doors , with President J. 1 } . , Browning in the .chair. They went for the drummers hot and heavy. Bitter complaint was made of the way In which , tlioy heat tlio railroad by smuggling in n lot ot sample case bnggaRo without paying for it The drutumor.did this , they asserted , by borrowing an'extra ticket from a scalper at a nominal rental , and having his extra sample cases over and above the regulation 150 pounds checked free on the strength of the hired ticket. When he got back to town ho gave the ticket back to the scalper , and had cipars and drinks out of the freight charges that ho bad cheated the railway out of. U'o block tliis Bchemp tlio. association adopted yesterday a nile that hereafter bag- would bo checked only on the slnelo m that nuy passenger proonlcO. This knocks the hired ticket dodge to Hinder , and tlio ngcnts said that the railroads of the coun try wouldn't bo slow to put thorulo Into prac tice. , . _ , Tovexpedite the transportation of baggage to the west tlio. association adopted an. Im provement known as the "excess baggngo check.1' ' This is a chock that contains a tab with a written record of the baggage carried by the owner , the number of passengers in the party , the weight of tlio baggage , and other points of information. It' is at the pamo time a receipt for all buggago checked by the passenger. Asimilar check is fas- tunrd to a single trunk of the passenger's baggage , and enables agents on nil roads traversed to keep track of thq.baggago with caso. Thoowjior does not have to bother his head about it at all until bo gets to his , jour ney's end. This improvement was suggested at the St. Louis convention , and the agents are going to bestir themselves to hnvo it put into operation on all the railroads In the country , so that it will bo uniform the wbolo country over. They say it protects both the railroad and the passengers against loss. This moclo of beating the railroads out of their Just rates is probiibly ihoro in th'o imaginationof a few agoil baggagemen than hi actual practice. Omaha drummers when spoken to ot the dodgb. claimed that they had never honrd of the scheme , and do hot believe that it Is practised In the west at all. They think if it is practised oven in the east ) t is very recently , and. that tha man who is sharp enough to thus work a railroad ought to get all of his baggage carried free of charge and to bo given a lias's over the road , _ _ _ A Drummer's Day at the Fair. The Omaha clnlmiuors who had counted bn having a frarado on the Foiirth of Jlily , but yielded to their brothers at Grand Island nnd joined them in a grand demonstration In tlmt city , have concluded to Imvb a grand dis play in this citv diirlhg the fair week. A meeting was hold In the board of trade rooms last Saturday afternoon to arrange fojth'o day. The following well known gontlcniCu were appointed the'r ' respective committees to make tlio arrangements : Programmo C. O , Lobeck , George M. Swigart and O. H. Gordon. Parade August Myer , Q. H.

O. .Lobeck , Clarence Hos- tatter , Mr. MrCrackcu andJay ; Hulnhroy , P The plan of entertainment for the dayaS discussed at the mooting Is to have a grant ! parade of the traveling men and invlto the merchants of thq city to join it This will probably talw place during the forenoon. In the afternoon u progntmmp will b'o arranged for the fair grounds , and in the evening ah elegant reception with music , nnd perhaps dnnclnp.- will bo held at soi-.o pleasant place In thocity , perhaps the board o { trade rooms. T.'ic plan is to have ono grand good dny for the boy * . It was toted at tlio mcetitig Sat urday that Thursday , September 0. bo named as the time for thd event. Tno directors of the fair association Imvn been consulted In regard to the schcino and Imvo stated that tlay will do everything in their power to oo Operate with the boys and innko the day a urand suci-cas. The jobbers of thb city re equally In favor of thu jnay for their men and are anxious that every nrrniisotnent possible may bo made to tn&ko the day a success. Although the boy * 00 wet want tli bourn to iwndauy money 'or ' tha day a number of the proprietors stated their willingness to contribute to the ; oed cause. Tlio proprietors ot about twenty aouioi wrro railed ujion by a BKB reporter 'or their opinion on thd pleasure and success of such on event , and they each and ovcryono snld they would like to sco such a demonstration arranged , and as their men would all bo In thcro was no doubt but that they would join Into any plan that might bo suggested for the dny. It is the opinion of the boys that they can have over 500 uni formed drummers tn their parade. The success of the day depends largely on tie ) meeting of tbo committees next Saturday night. The meeting Is at 7:30 : at tlio Arcade hotel. Iosps nt Piny ntitl Suicides. The dead body of Henry Weiss , a well known Chicago commercial traveler , was found with a bullet hole In the head in Golden Gate park , San Francisco , a few days ago. Near him lay the weapon with which ho had taken ills life , and on bis person were found letters addressed to ills wife , giving as a reason for his suicldo the fact that ho had lost at gambling money that ho could not re place. Weiss was a very successful drum mer , having traveled for several of tlio largest houses in Chicago , nnd at the time of his dentil was in the employ of the wholesale clothing firm of Kuh , Nathan & Fischer. Ills wire is the daughter of Sigmund Hyman. tlio jeweler , nnd ho was connected In the best Hebrew social circles of the city. Ho was a bright young man , nnd his only fulling seems to have been a weakness when tlio tempta tion of gaining cauio in ills way. Ho arrived in San Francisco about three weeks ago , and , having begun gambling , was soon without money. Ho borrowed funds from friends and had drafts cashed which wcro dishon ored by ins firm , and in despair ho ended his lifo. lifo.Mr. Mr. Kuh said of him : "Ho was an able salesman and had been with us about eight months. Tlio cnargo of'forging drafts , which is made in the dispatches from San Fran cisco In the morning papers , is untrue. Ho did not forgo anything. Ho simply made drafts on us , which wo refused to pay in ac cordance with our unvarying rule. Wo never honor drafts from any ot our salesmen. Weiss could not Iiavo so very much money. Ho borrowed ? GOO , the dispateh in the paper ? says , and tlio two drafts which wo refused mav have given him $550 It ho had them cashed. Ono win for $200 nnd the other for K50. The story that lie was drinking hard I do not believe. As far as I know ho never drank to excess. Ills only fault was gam bling. Our firm does not lese a cent Ho ha 1 a lot of valuable samples with him. but every piece is safe , not u yard or piece being missing. " .Advantages of the Gnpltnl City. The question of the location of tlio national headquarters of the national traveling men's association Is ono that has caused much dis cussion. A writer la the Merchant Traveler thinks Washington , D. C. , is the placo. Jn showing up the advantages of that city ho says : Tlio District of Columbia Is neutral ground in the rivalry between states for membership nnd representation , among tlio ofllccrs. It has no glowing promises to make of fabulous increases in membership' It pretends to bo nothing moro than n phica eminently suited in every way for tlio headquarters of an as sociation whoso membership is scattered from Maine to California , whether such an association is un organization of traveling men. or the entire citizenship of the United States. .Every eastern traveling man Is familiar with the case with which Washington is reached from the largo eastern cities nnd with tlio advantages which , would bo en- jo.vod in casoof any legislative objects , by being immediately in the field. Let thu association place itself and its oni ccrs beyond tlio roach of Chicago insurance and with tlio advantages offered by Wash ington win its way to the attainment of its original purposes. As Others SPO Us. An Towa drummer , who makes Omaha in bis runs , was inspired by Tuc Buu's hotel boxes to address a letter to the "DrummcrV department of Tin : HIR. It is to be hoped that others of the boys may follow his ex ample. In speaking of Omaha , its needs and advantages , ho says : lundeistand you nro to have a now hotel. Well , there is room for jt , for if Omaha con tinues to increase , develop , build , and in the substantial manner she has in the pastthrcc years , there is no tolling where it will end. It is my ideal city , and stands as a proof of western entei prUo. There Is room fern n good , largo city where Omaha stands. Chicago is no longer far enough west , St. Paul is too far north and Kansas City too far south. As I tell my eastern friends , Omaha is destined tc be the metrop olis of the central west , having the only proper location. I asked a customer of mme there yesterday whun I could como to Omaha and not bo compelled to walk around build ing materials in the streets. Ho said possi bly in H hundred years , but not loss , Guess ho is about right. I cover a large amount of territory , and vist | all the cities , both east and west. . Glvo mo a business and a homo In Omaha , for comfort , style , business and good climate. Guess this is enough for this trip. If it goes , moro anon. A CoMMBnciAL TnA.viii.Eit. Will Win Next Time. M. J. Pickering , national president of the Travelers' Protective association had , a nar row escape once , says the Commercial Traveler , from being made a member of the Inter-state railway commission appointed by President Cleveland. When tbo commission was being made up a delegation of promi nent traveling men , all members of the Travelers' Protective association , waited upon tlio president and presented the name of Mr. Pickering. The president did not give adccided , answer , but ttio'boys" went away feeling quite confident 'that their man was going in. When the names Of the com missioners were made public-Mr. Plckerhig's name was not on the list It finally leaked out how lie had lost. Just before the presi dent made the appointments a friend of Commissioner Schumacher called upon the piesldcht and by oily talk convinced , the chief executive that it would bo bettor to ap point tlio latter , ns ho was a gentleman , while Mr. " 'mere Pickering was a traveling man , a bummer without any sense. " Mr. Picketing took bis defeat calmly , as ho could afford Jo laugli at .being called a burniqcr. Mr. Pickering's friends declare that ho will bo appointed next time. HoVns From Omaha. "Ho wants the earth , it seems to me , " said a traveling man In a disgusted tone ro- fcri Ing to an associate who believed in get ting n plenty while he was gelling. "Which ; this earth that wo are living oh now } " "That's what I meant. " "Well , all I have to say Is that I hope he'll succeed in obtaining it. " "Whatforl" ' .Because . in about a pionthfrom now no'l bo ready to carry it away , and the ooggono thlng'll bo so hot that It will buns him the lii'dt Uaio he goes to pick it up , " I Commer cial Traveler.
