Vigorous
ivlii. , May 14. 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.

"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

evening.

Iowa Traveling Men Disband.
DAVKXI'OUT , la. , May 18. [ 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. The competition offered by the
Traveling Men's Protective union was
the occasion of this indifference to some
degree.

THK FiVIUI MORTGAGE.
Investigations Made Ky a Nol rnska
Farmer.
GIIIIION , Neb , , May 15. 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" '

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 ,
