The men to whom lie addressed theao remark * were mostly men who have not been present nt nny of the Other meetings. The atU'iidanco simply show * the great Interest that Is being tultun In the coming event and the representatives who -wore present from every section of the state and the loiters which were rcul ; from Hastings , Grand Island and the western towns go to ehow that all previous dru in liters'celebrations in this state will sink into insignificance when compared with what the Gth of Sep tember will be.

A motion was then passed to extend n cordial invitation to the hoys in the Elkhorn valley or any other part of the stnto to roll in with the ranks nnd wenrtho uniform adopted by the majority at the second meeting held to arrange for the flay. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Eastman then informed the boys to ftivo it out at largo that the silk huts must bo ordered not later than the ! i > th. O. H.

The protest from a largo number of the J ' .ltliorn Valley drummers presented nt Sat- tirdny night's meeting again st Ihe uniform adopted for drummers' day was dlscour- tyrlng , to say the least , to the men who have Worked so hard In arranging for fair day. When the subject of a uniform eaino up at the second meeting the cnne , duster aud grip uniform was suggested. It wns voted down On the ground that It was old and had been Worn in all Kinds of parades nnd by nil classes of men. The uniform adopted was adopted beciuiso it was nol only comfortable but was pomolhlng entirely new. After It was adopted and until Saturday night it was gen erally regarded as the greatest lilt in the ar rangement. Had the Klkhorn Valley boys fceen nt the meeting nnd seen the way the uniform wai selected and iiourd the comment * * on the duster uniform Jho.v would bo glnd of the choice ) of that meeting of woolen shirts , silk" hats and Jap- nncso parasols. The uniform is cheap , odd , hnmlaome , nnd , with the exception of tlio parasol , will bo of scrvlco after Iho Otn day pf b'cptembor. Al tlio meeting which adopted this uniform JMr. 0. O. Lobeck spoke , worked and voted nsulnst it. He was beaten , but has since pomu to believe that 11 will bo the hit of the flny. Ho Bald , nt Saturday night's meeting , that ho would wear 11 nnu all the drummers In Nebraska . cotilu nol gel him to wear any pther uniform , utul that ho would bo In that procession and all the boya could nol keep ) dm out.

Lei the Elkhorn vnlloy boys adopt the plan of these men and fall Into line will the silk hat , lluunol shirt and parasol. Thoj jvill bo glad \ \ hen they sco thu prooessiot that day to know that they are traveling men nnd will bo sorry for all tmiu if they art pot In Iho ranks and Into the spirit of tlu day with the rc. l of tlio boys.

A. , nt a recent meeting , discussed the fmestlon which was before the postmaster general in regard to the placing of mall boxes nt sta tions all along the railroads. They finally concluded to send the following resolullon nnd leltcr to his honor : llcsolved. That , ns a body , we , the Ken tucky division of the Travelers' Protective association , wholly endorse the efforts of our lopresentativo In congress in urging upon Iho dopattmcntnt Washington the oonvcnlcnco and necessity of placing mull boxes at the railway stations.

P. A. stnto associations to take similar action in regard to the mailer. To Congress From the Hall Field. A Texas merchant , in conversation with a traveling man , is responsible for the very satisfactory explanation of how Colonel Ecus , of Texas , became a member of congress. Ho said : "We'd been having some pretty lively games of base ball betweea two cowboy nines , nnd wo had run clean ottl of umpires. Colonel Ecks was asked lo umpire a game that was aboul lo coino off nnd accepted right there. Ho got up behind Iho calcher nnd the first ball was delivered. The man al Iho bnl smashed il nnd seul il straight for the llrst baseman's hands. Ho dropped it , bul [ licked it up Jusl in time to put it agalusl his man , who was trying to slide in. Excite ment was high and every man had his eye on the umniroV" " "Well , what did the colonel dol" "Ho simply said 'out. ' nnd quick ns n flash whipped out n six % hooter about eighteen inches long. He whirled in a circle and swept Iho crowds with the uiuzzlo as ho in quired : 'Gentlemen , is anybody kicking } ' Wo nil saw then thai Iho colonel wns Iho right kind of a man to tto lo , and ho can go to congress from this district just us often as he feels lluo it.1 City Headquarters. The subject of city headquarters or club rooms for the Nebraska drummers In some of the largo buildings of Ihis cily has boon lalkcd of among Iho men throughout the state ns they incot on the road , but up to this time no action has been laken In the matlor. The question will bo formally taken up and discussed at a meeting to be held on the evening of the reception on the Gth of next nionlh. There Is no doubl bul whal Iho club will bo organized and room * fitted out. As can bo seen by the following figures , from Jt ! to $5 from each drummer In the state would fit up as line headquarters as any city in the counlry. Tlio following are Iho costs of some of the headquarters : Denver , Colo. , has quarters which cost $5,000 to lit up ; the quarters of the Louisville post cost ? ; ) ,000 ; the quarters at Atlanta , $2,000 ; Philadelphia , 53,000 ; Now York , $5,000.

During the course of his remarks : io said that of the 250,000 commercial travol- irs 11 could nol bo proven lhal 40 per cnnl of hem ever drank liquor. Some people thought drummers n hard lot , but there was no class of men in the country that stood higher than commercial travelers. A Chicago Grind.
