Wear tlio Uniform.
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

Al tlio meeting which adopted this uniform
JMr. 0. O. Lobeck spoke , worked and voted
nsulnst it. He was beaten , but has since

the boys al the meeting said ho would wcat
What the majority wanted to wear ,
Jio difference what it was. Lei

the plan of these men and fall Into line will

They Want fllall Boxes.
The members of Iho Kentucky T. P. 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.
To the United States Postmaster General :
Viewing the matter now under considera
tion by tlio postotllco department at Wash
ington of placing mall boxes nt all railway
stations where towns or postoftlces nro dis
tant from the station , as thoroughly practica
ble and of very great convenience to the
traveling public , nnd thai il will provo a
greal saving of lime and oxpedllo the busi
ness of the country , and to bo obtained at so
small an outlay to the government , wo would
respectfully ask and urge its prompt adop
tion.
tion.They also nskod nil the other T. 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.
Bo tlio IJoys Drlnlc ?
At the meeting of the T. P. A. , ho Id at
.linnoapolis . , Mr. S. A. Hnlnes , of the Com
mercial Nalionnl league , delivered a lengthy
nudrcss on the subject of Icmpor.mco among
lie men. 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.
'Did you over got lired of lifoj" asked a
St. Louis traveling man of n Chicago brolher.
"Can't ' say that I over did I"
"I moan , haven't you nt llmos wished you

"No. I never actually wished that I was
dead ; but I have entertained serious notions
of moving lo St. Louis. " [ Traveler.

ment is supported by the word of the

that a coal find has been nindo that will
prove a bonanza for Lincoln and this

Sir : Tlio attention of the public has been
called of lute , qulto frequently , to the increas
ing number of persons bitten by mad dogs ,
nnd the distressing deaths of the victims.
Hydrophobia s cms to bo ono of the excep
tions In the long line of diseases to which
mortals are heir for which there is no well
defined cure. I dcslro to pay that I hnvo in
my possession a mad stone , regarded by
iinny persons , and among them some of the
.ending medlcul professors , as possessing
sealing powers that render it proof against
any fatal consequence in case of bites from
abld animnls when applied to persons
.hreatened with hydrophobia within ten
flays from the tlniD the wounds are inflicted.
While in the city of Chicago a few weeks
ngo , and at a time when some deaths occurred
from hydrophobia , I felt Impressed that I
ought to give to the public the buiiollts of
my Information that I might have in my pos
session on this subject , and in a letter ad
dressed to Mayor Kocho , I proposed to place
ono of the nmdstoncs I have at the disposal
of the board of health that It might bo given
a careful test. His honor acknowledged the
receipt of my letter and replied that it would
bo referred to the health commissioners. I
now propose , with the same object in view ,
to leave with you one of the stones , believ
ing , as I do , that the healing powers I claim
for it are no longer shrouded in mystery.
Trusting that you will bo ready to give this
somewhat mysterious cure for a fearful dis
ease , now looked upon by some as incurable ,
a trial , I am sincerely yours ,
