To the Edi tor of Tun BKE : Noticing a complaint from a number of commercial travelers at York , in last Monday's paper , I wish \0 add an instance of the arbitrary ruffianism and lawless imposition of a railroad corporation upon a brother traveler , which by far oxccods that Which the boys publish. { Charles H. Annan , of the Cartel1 IWhilu Lead company , arrived at the Chicago , Rock Island & Pacific com- mny's station , at Grinnoll , May 14 , lully a half hour before the , raiu came in , and endeavored several imcs to purc-hnbo a ticket to Marcngo , " ich ho was unable to do , as the sta ff' ngcnt was away. Mr. Annan Vraltcd until the train was about to pull but and then boarded it without a ticket. When asked by the conductor | or his ticket , ho explained the circum stances and otTcrod to pay his faro. The ponductor told him in an insulting tone that ho had no right on the train with out a ticket and must got off. Mr. An nan then offered to purchase a ticket at the next stop. But it was of no avail , and ho was again ordered to get off , whereupon ho refused , and the conduc tor rang the boll and slopped the train , and upon Annan's refusal to got oil of his own accord , ho called a brakotnan and llioy carried him out bodily and put him on the ground , throe miles away from any station , with two valises nnuau ovorcoat.to carry in a hot sun back to Grinnoll and wait until night for another train. This happened on ono of the com pany's "regular passenger" trains , so called. It is , properly speaking , a freight train with a "combination1' Baggage and passenger coacli attached to the caboose to take the place of their former "cannon ball" train from Davcn- port to Atlantic , which was taken olt to jTnconvonionco the public and vontthoir potty spite because the Iowa state com missioners stopped their wholesale robbery of its merchants and shippers by coinpelline them to accept afairand im partial remuneration for their services. Jhln ? in the road also that sells 12,000 inileago books for $50 and then turns irouml and lots thu scalpers sell "odi- tornl" mileage to anyone going to Ghl- dago or Omaha from any competitive point for i ! cents a mlle straight. What Jan honorable proceeding ! The pcoplo built this road by grantIng - Ing rights of way and voting bonds and subsidies for its construction nd then turning it over a band of robbers called president nd board of directors , thereby enabling them to draw salaries equal to that of the 'president of the United States and cumulate millions of dollars in a few E tars. Yet. this is a sample of treat- out their benefactors receive at their bands if they can not obey to the letter the company's unreasonable and unjust and unlawful rules , thu company itself Iboing responsible for their nonobservance - anco by not giving passengers an op portunity to got a ticket. 't. ' Mr. Annan lias instituted a suit for $500 damages and his employers and colleagues should , if necessary , render him all the iibsihtanco in their power to enable him to win it , as wo are all lia ble ( o bo similarly , bulldo/.od if we do not mutually aid and protect our indi vidual interests. Vote for the club at the Murray next Sunday. * I * XhoClul > . "Tho call for a mooting of traveling Cioii , this week , to tnko stops looking to the establishment of a club In this lty , ought to have the attention , not only of travelers , but of all mon con nected with or in any way dependent on the jobbing interests , " said a well known traveling man. "Wo have at tempted once before such an undertak ing , but I am eiitlbllud it will go this tlmo. Thu intention is to have a club that ulll bo a credit to the city and add materially to the comfort of traveling galesmon und their friends. A notice- ublo feature of the rooms will bo thu files of all leading newspapers and juoganlnos. Hut next week I'll give you more dolinito information. " Help out thu club movement at the luiTiiy next Sunday. "Out On n Fly. " In the spring of 187 1 , the Flying Jutohman was in Chicago fatopplug nl the Brovoort house , on Ma'dison street having just rolurqcd from a trij ; hrough Iowa , and at the hotel he inailo the acquaintance of n young man just over from Germany. Ho was a very Ino looking gentleman , but could not speak English fluently and it appeared to bother him very much. IIo was willing enough to try and converse with any of the traveling men that ho mot at the houso. but ho would got his Words mlxod up so that it was very amusing. As a rule thu traveling mon are all a set of jolly follows , wide-awako and always ready for fun. They would listen to him as ho would toll of the ad ventures ho mot with in the city and homo of the sights ho saw. At that time the Chicago Whtto Stockings was the crack team of base ball prayers , and they were just starting out for the sea son. Their grounds wcro on the corner of Twenty-second and State streets and all the bill boards in the city wcro covered with their papers announcing the onto on which they wcro la play. In his rambles over the city this young German saw the bills for tlio game of ball and to him It was something new , as ho had never seen It In the old country. When ho came in to dinner ho asked some of the boys what it was and they told him if ho never liact seen the game that ho ought to attend , as it was the national sport of America. Uo at once made up his mind ho would go that very afternoon , and no moro was said about it. The next morn ing at breakfast lie came in and was seated at a table with a lot of traveling men , and one of the number asked him if ho had scon the gamo. Ho wiped a tear from his cyo. and this was his de scription of base ball : l'My friends , youst as you told me I vent to soouot gamo. Von I arrived out at do blaco t found a high venco mil a big gate and a little holo. A man vas looking out. Dot man he said do you want to see do game1 I said shure , and ho dold me half a dollar. I make dot money down and go myself in , and such"a groud of bcoplo as vas thoro. I clime up on a row of benches and vaitcd some dime. By and by a lot of men they como out anil all stand around In blaces all over dot Held. Ono man ho had a sdick in his hand ano anoudor follow drew do ball at liim. Now , ohlmony Christmas , how fatrong dot lollow make dot ball drew and dot man make It My vay oil by the sky like a little blrt.

[ Special Telegram to Tun BKB. ] A mooting of the directors of the Travelers' ' Protec tive association of Iowa was hold in this city this evening. It was called for the purpose of selecting delegates to the na tional convention , but instead of taking this action the directors proceeded to disband the association. There were 210 members in the state , but the great indifference shown by all of them to the organization caused thorn to take this action.

To the Ed itor of THK BKK : There is much talk of the farm mortgage this little pledge so very easy to got on land , and so hard to get olT , when once it gets on. I have boon making some investiga tion , and propose to gLvo you my con clusions on the subject , after a long res idence and intimate acquaintance with the farm loan , Having once owned land in partnership with this sumo /arm / mortgage , and also having lived in tiio same house with his brother , the town mortgage. If some ono insinuates that I am niie- takoii , I will patiently wait for tho-uoxt census for my vindication. At the very lowest estimate , there are $2,000,000 in mortgages on the farms of Buffalo county , Nebraska. Arnd they will cost the borrowers , including all expenses and interest on the loans , fully 9 per cent per annum. I can not sco the slightest ground to fear that in vestment companies nor individuals will stop loaning money on farms , if the whole truth in relation to tho- business is fully made known. Why should they ? There is no safer investment thatpaya so largo a profit anywhere else. So rich a plum will not bo dropped suddenly. The favor does not como from the lender the borrower has to pay full value. There is not ono case in a hundred where there is any loss to the louder on the land. A case is under foreclosure now , in this county , for a first and a second end mortgage , and yet the man who gets the farm for the mortgages and the expenses of the suit will get a bargain of $2,000. Buffalo is an average county , und what is true of it is true , to a greater or less extent , of the other counties of the stato. The lender is the man who reaps the greater bonollt , and not the man who obtains thoQloan. You show mo a man who has a mort gage on his farm and I will show you a man who is in difficulties. It would bo bettor for the farmers , to-day , taken as u whole , if not a single ono of thorn had over boon able to mortgage his farm. The few who have gotten along without loans are those who are best oil now , though they may not have boon so in the start. Men put loans on their farms for all kinds of purposes. And in all , or at least a very fewcases , this could have been avoided. Many in this vicinity mortgaged to buy cattle and fence land. But some have obtained loans to put up bettor buildings and buy various things not necessary. Others have gotten loans to enable them to visit friends in the east , and for other purposes that would neither bring back principal nor inter est. But the siuldost cose I know of is a disabled soldier , whose farm is to bo sold to pay his loan. Ho wont into the cattle business , somebody else got the profits that should have been his , and his farm will have to go. Poor old man honest , sober , indus trious and saving ; groy-hoadod. laino and almost blind ; ho had faltnfl ty served his country in its hour of need , and now his home , oven , goes , because ho could not foresee the beef combine , and because the stato.would not protect him from its rapacity no , not even try to. But ho is only ono of many who will follow , unless bettor 'prices ' can bo ob tained for stock and grain in the future. Lot any mail try to pay off a mortgage on his farm by raising , qorn at 15 cents per bushel , and ho wU } soon know how it is for himself , bottbr than any theo rist , who farms only on napor. The existence - istonco of a farm mortgage on some other man's land is mot so very un pleasant ; but the man , whoso land is covered by ono of thcacJiistrumonts , at this day , fools as if .Tie , were chained hand and foot on tltuland lie owns , while the waters of some mighty flood were gradually rising (1iround him. nnd as if it were only a snort time until ho will bo overwhelmed.1" ' i Most complexion powders have a vul gar glurojbut Po/.zoni's is a true boauti- lior , whoso effects are lasting.

Barnes , as attorney for Mrs. Addle St. Clalr. The petition tolls a mournful , but not uncommon , talo. Marion St. Cluir , the man who has caused clouds of unhapplnoss como over the hfo of the plaintiff in the case , Is n Methodist preacher , ono of the sort hat make hotter lawyers than preachers , and who are not marked successes at cither profession. When Mrs. St. Clalr , then a confiding maid , married the man , in Mllwau Itoe , In 1833 , she imagined him to bo a marvel of goodness and manly virtue. She soon found herself mistaken. St. Clair ran away to Chicago and committed various offenses , [ mrdonablo only In unmarried men. Ho also advertised In the newspapers for female cor respondents , got drunk , was arrested in Washington for obtaining inonoj' un der falsa pretenses , and in general made a practice of raising thu old Harry. Then the wife found that , previous to his marriage with her , ho had lived with an other woman in Philadelphia aim was the father of n child by hor. In the midst ot these- harrowing discoveries , the villain ran away with u Boston female to Memphis , and introduced her there as his wlfo. Some tlmo ago ho deserted his wife und Is not now a resident of the state. The wlfo has at last concluded that there is no hope of reforma tion , and asks tbo courts to free her from him. Natal Day Celebration. Those sunny days of summer cause youth ful hearts to turn to thoughts of Independ ence day. And not youthful hearts only , but also these moro mature. At least this is the case in Lincoln. Recently , a proposition was made to the Lincoln board of trade which , by the way , is meeting occasionally , now for the ar rangement of a gr.tnd celebration on the evening of the Fourth of .luly. The board took the proposition under consideration , but found that they hud been forestalled by the laboring mon of the city. Some two weeks ago the matter was discussed by the Cen tral trade and labor unions , nnd full committees were appointed. Partial arrangements have already boon maJo for a great parade , to comprise displays from every mercantile and manu facturing house in the city. The celebration is to ba advertised abroad , and a small for tune will bo expended la doing this. The labor unions have signified their wlllinunoss to receive the co-operation of the board of trado. The latter body Is willing to co operate , Manager MoKoynoids , of the board of trade committee , has offered the use of the opera house for u public meeting , and has ofterod to distribute bills und posters if some body else will furnish the same. City Nowri and Notes. Mayer Bros , and Eaton & Smith have con solidated their base ball teams. The now team will bo run under the special patronage of Mayer Bros. , and it 1s B&fo to say that the reorganized team will not be easily beaten by any amateur team hi tbo state , indeed , the management will battle for the cham pionship , and its friends are very confident of success. O , J. Wilcox , of the German National bank , has boon appointed receiver for the Hart Hardware company. This appointment was made oy Judge Dundy , of the United State. ) district , upon application of the Clark Interests. The news of this appointment was received hero by telegram la to last night. It Is strongly hinted that the winning bid for the construction of the street railway , connecting Hothuny Heights with Lincoln , will bo announced to-morrow morning. U true , dirt will commence to fly at once , and long before September 1 , the duto fixed upon for the commencement of the fall term of school , nt the now Christian university , the road will bo completed. A number of cot tages will bo built on the site within the next few weeks.

A NIOUVI3Y I1ACK.MAN. lie Captures a Woiild-Do Murderer ami Holds a ft oh nt Hay. Henry Nolan , the young man who figured as the principal in the shooting affair at Thirty-fourth and California streets early yesterday morning , is In the city Jail. The credit for his arrest is duo to a hack driver named Dave Mahoney , who arrived just after the shooting und found Nolan's friends going away with him in n wagon. Ho at once pulled Nolan out of the wagon and returned with him to .ho houso. Hero ho met another difficulty. Some of the spectators organized n lynching boo und wanted to string Nolan up to a telegraph > olp. Mahoney interfered , and promised to [ irotcct his prisoner with his life. Ills de termined manner silenced the would-be lynchcrs , who hung around , how ever , until an olUeer , summoned by Mahoney , arrived and took Nolan in charge. Mahoney then drove away ns though it , was in every day afTuir for him to arrest n would-bo murderer , and then protect him from n necktie uarty. Neither Mrs. Gibson nor her nephew , Orville Ktnor , who were shot by Nolan , was dangerously hurt. The bullet that , struck Young Etncr passed entirely through the calf of his leg , inflicting a nasty flesh wound , but no serious results nro expected from it. Mrs. Gibson was shot in the left thigh , the bullet lodging against the bone just above the knee. The attending : > ! iysiciun was unable to locate the ball. 'Nolan took the matter very coolly. Ho says that ho bus always expected to bo lianged for murder , und scorns to be disap pointed that the mob at the place did not jtrotch him up after the shooting , Ho will bo given a preliminary hearing m the uolico court to-day.
