s ‘ TRIED T0 KILL RER HUSBAND A Pium Creek Woman Arrested in Omaha For Attempted Murder. HER VERSION OF THE AFFAIR' Taken Back to Dawson County By the Sheriff—Serions Cutting Af- fray in a Saloon Over a Dog Fight. Arrested for Attempted Murder. A waiter in Lewis' restaurant, 822 North Sixteenth street, who has been styling herself as Mrs. Gilbert, was ar- rested by Sheriff T. L. Taylor, of Dawe son county, yesterday, charged with at- tempting to murder her husband last April. Her right name Mrs. Jessie Quill, and her husband’'s name David. On last Saturday she was arrested by the deputy sheriff ot Dawson county, but managed to slip away from him. Yes- terday, however, she was re-arrested by Sheriff Taylor and last evening was taken to Plum Creek, her former home, and from which she suddenly disappeared afterthe attempt on her husband’s life. Mrs. Quill 18 a young woman of un- usual intelligence, and barring a certain disagreeable pertness and volubility of speech, is ladyhike in her demeanor. Her version of the story bears the ap- pearance of truth, She says she has been married to Quill some six or seven years, Almost from the moment of her marringe to her final flight in April her life was one of misery. He drank, made her support herself, and coutinually abused her with curses and sneers as to her virtue. Three times she left him, but each time, yielding to the entreaties of friends and trusting his promises to do better, she has returned to him. Her final trouble with him was caused by her desire 80 go on a visit to her old home at Cedar Rapids, where she had not been for five years. He then took oceasion to heap upon her the vilest of epithets, to throw out insulting insinuations and otherwise abuse her. She stood tais for about half an hour, when, seizing a itcher, she struck him over the ead, inflicting an uFly cut, While the wound was Iming‘ dressed she remarked to the physician that she wished she had killed him. She claims that it is the indiscreet expression of this wish that caused her pursuit and capture. The day after this episode she disap- peared, coming to Omaha. She roomed on the corner of Cass and Sixteenth streets, and wus well thought of by those who knew her. The husband’s version of the story, however, makes her appear a fiend inoarnate, without a, single re- deeming quality. Sl ey STABBED IN A SALOON. A Dispute Over a Dog Fight Causes a Cutting. AWheaton & Storz’ saloon at 1320 Saunders street was the scene of a cutting affray yesterday about 11 o’clock. Lon Krout and a plasterer named Mart Hover had some words over a dog fight in the saloon, when Hover suddenly whipped out a airk and stabbed Krout twice. Krout threw up his arms to ward off the blows, and received a slight wound just above the wrist and a deep cut four inches in length on his left arm just below the shoulder. Not knowing he wus 80 badly hurt, Krout seized a bilhard cue and roundly belabored Hover with at. The plasterer made for the door, but hrout managed to get in one or two good right handers before his murderous as- sailant escaped. Krout was meanwhile bleeding trightfully from his wounds, and when he first discovered himself covered with blood and saw how badly he was hurt, he almost tainted away. He was taken to his home at 1612 Frank- lin street and his wounds dressed. Al though not dnmgnrousl{ wounded, he was very weak from tho loss of bloo About 6 o’clock last evening a BEE re- orter who called at the Anderson board- ng house at 1520 Saunders, where Hover rooms, was surprised to find that party at homo unarrested, drunk and terror- izing the occupants of the house with his foul language and threats. An hour or 80 later, however, a couple of officers were sent out to look after him, and fovnd him at hisrooms, He was taken to the central police station and locked up. B ABOUT VENEZUELA. A South American Visitor in Omaha Tells of the Country. A full bearded man, past the middle age, haying the appearance of General Grant, sat quietly musing in the office of the Millard. In conversation with a re- porter he seemed to be chary of his words, as if wanting to weigh them be- fore uttering them. Hearing the music of the Salvation army band, he asked its cause, and upon being told whence the heavenly nlrniuu‘rmnneded. he expressed surprise, and said he had never heard of ch a boay of ‘mople before. He had traveled in nearly every country of the world and had seen cverything “from the Ganges to the Missouri, and heard all the musical strains from the - greatest opera or oratorio to the sweet singer of Michi- gan, but the Salvation army he had never seen, nor heard its music until that mowent. This was Mr. Daniel H. Solomon, who is at present engaged in building railroads 1n Venezuela, He has been in Paris and rocured a charter there for bmlding an important railroad, starting from Cara- cas and running across the country. When speaking of that country he for- gets his usual reticence and his language takes on the torm of rapture. Caracas, a city of 90,000 people, he said, is a most enterprising place and a paradise for en- terprising young man. Venezuela bonds are now worth only 35 cents on the dollar, and these are being bought up largely by Mr. Solomon ana the syndicate with whioh he is connected. The bonds, he claims, will be at par ere long, and all the troubles and petty jealousics now ex- 1sting in the country will soon cease. In a country %00 miles from east to west and 770 from north to south, with an area, in- cluding adjacent” islands in the Atlantic ocean an Caribbean sea, of 403,276 square miles, there cannot help but be a splendid future, and American enter- prise is tloh}g much to develop its vast resources. Perhaps there is not much more thun 1 per cent of the population white, the greater rtion being mixed Spanish, Indian negro blood. A Reckless Diiver Arrested. A clerk named Charles Barker, while driving at full sveed down Thirteenth stroet, knocked down and ran over an old man named Mike Donovan at the crossing on Harney street. Donovan was picked up and taken to the police station, where it was discovered that though badly braised no bones were broken, On ili! breast is the print of the hoofs, and it 18 possible that he have suffered some internal injury, Burker was arrested, but was released on bail to appear this morning. el otice, * A special meeting of the Bricklayers and Plasterer Tenders’ union will be held ut Cunningbam’s hall at 7olclock this pvening, A full attendance 15 requested.

Doolittle Makes a Statement About Mrs. Jackman, OMATA, Sept. 23.—Tothe Editor of the Beg: Very much to the regret of Mrs. Doolittle and myself we find our names dragged into public notice 1n A most un- pleasant manner. The article in Satur- day's BEE relating to Mrs. Jackman leads any reader to infer that we are au- thority for the statements made, which is a very great injustice to us, as well as to the family of Governor English. No one could be more unwilling than we to say unything derogatory to Governor Eng- lishoor family. I was acquainted with him in a business way many years ago, in New Haven, and have always held him in the highest esteem. Because of this respect for him and having no knowledge of the late history of the fam« ily, and moreover, out of sympathy for Mrs. Jackman, who is be pitied,no matter whose daughter she is,1 urged Mrs.Doolit- tle to call at Dr. Cuscaden’s and see Mrs. Jackman, This lady seemed to be familiar with the home of Governor Eng- lish, of New Haven, and made the im- pression that her story in regard to being u daughter was corroct. No such state- ment as “Mrs. Doolittle knew Mrs. Jack- mun as the daughter of Governor English when fourteen years of age,”’ or that “‘Mrs. English was a kleptomaniac,’ ete., was ever made by Mrs. Doolittle: Mrs. Doolittle never knew the family at all, and 1 think her reputation is such in this community as to make it impossible that any stain of 'wilful misrepresentation” should rest upon her. I refer now to General Dennis’ letter in Sunday morn- ing's BEE. No blame can be attachea to General Dennis for his defense of the family, nor possibly for his attack upon us, severe as it is and undeserved, being misled by Saturday’s article. We do not know the gentleman, but wish to assure him that it is very far from us to say any- thing that would reflect upon the family of Governor English. Very respectfully, W. V.

RovaL BAKING Powps! W1 Wall-st,, N. V . THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY. T0 COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS Rev. 0. W. Savidge Talks to the Knights of the Grip. UNCLE JOHN VASSAR'S LIFE, It Furnishes the Text For a S8ermon On a Red-Hot Christian—The Paul of the Nineteenth Century, Commercial Travelers. A large number of knights of thegrip were present last night at the Seward street M. E. church to listen to Rev. C. W. Savidge's sermon on the subject “‘Commercial Travelers.” The text was taken from Luke 10:85: “Take care of him, and what soever thou shendest more, when I come again I will repay thee.” Mr. Savidge said: I preach this evening to the *“Commercial Travelers,” but other hearers need not settle back in their seats and think that there will be nothing for them. A good sermon is like an old-time sho1 gun, it scatters and nits a good many birds every time it goes off. Ihave several reasons for preacoing this sermon: The traveling have re- quested it and I am always glad to preach to men who are willing to hear. I preach to you also becacse you need it. You are not saints but sinners, and all sinners need the gospel. You need more sermons than you get. Lately, I have been looking up your hiss tory. Like Dr. Johnson, I should like to know the biography of every man I meet. The time was when the dealers went to the great cities once or twice a year and bought the goods for their trade. Now the plan is entirely changed. The great manufacturing firms and the wholesale houses send out men in fevery direction to bid for trade. I am told that in 1844, Daniel R. Wolff went to!Philadel- Phil as_a salesman for the dry goods house of Dunton Gemmill & Co. As trade was dull, Mr. Wolff suggested that some one be sent out among the countr: merchants to drum up trade. “Who will be the drummer?'’ asked oneof the firm. “I will,” replied Mr. Wolff. He went on the roud and solicited trade among the merchants of southern and central Penn- sylvania and New Jersey. He carried no sumples but filled orders from samp- les provided by the merchants to whom he sold. 1n 1819, the thought struck Mr. Wollf that if he carried samples of his own, he could introduce new goods and sell more of them. He told the house that the samples were coming from the wrong end of the line. From that time on, samples were carr| Since the war, especia bers have grown until yi mighty strong. The growth of trade in this city has been phenomenal in the past ten years, For example ten years ago Omaha had one small jobbing hardware house, which sent out two men. Now one firm sends out nine. In the spring of 1880 there were not more than three salesmen n one of the leading lines making the state, now iy this line there are over twenty, and all other lines have in- creased proportionally, Three hundred traveling men make their home 1n this your num- now are a army, amounting to 250,000 city, and Omuha is only a sample of other great centers, ‘The commercial traveler is, asa rule, a fairly well paid man. he average salesman gets ¥1.2oo a year. The men who sell to retail dealers get as much as $3,000 or $4,000, while the men who sell to the jobbing trade sometimes gets sal- aries of $4,000 to $5,000. Here is an in- centive to do well, and the traveling man should be well paid, for he carries great interests and great responsibilities. Tne (ravelin% man ought to be a whole man, for he has a man's work to do. "The best men are born, not made, forit is anatural gift to be a good salesman. He should also be a gentleman. A boor would have very little success on the road. He should be a gentleman at heart as well a3 in ‘manners. He should be able to read character and have the Fou«l sense to let his cus- tomer ride a hobby if he insists upon it. If the traveling man can only have one gift, let it be common sense, for common sense is the genius of humanity. He must be honest—a man of his word. lle must not need watching, for he goes where his employer cannot watch him. He ought to be a sober man, The day when the commercial traveler can be drunkard, and yet stand well with his house, is past, and past forever. He shonld be a hard worke 1f uni cumbered he makes three towns a day, and with trunks he makes from one to two. Often, like that woman in the scripture, he ‘‘rises while it is yet night.’’ He has need of genuine pluck, that s, he should have u heavy underjuw and be able to whistle when 1t rains. He is a bright man. A fool hasne place on the road. He meets and does business with the shrewdest men of the land, hence he himself must be intelligent, He must maze personal friends of his customers, and they must come to believe and even implicitly trust what he says. Trickery gains for a day, but old ime honesty wins in the long run. ‘The wise salesman knows how to rest. He who knows not this art will either break down or go crazy. The best traveling men are kind hearted and liberal, ready to help the unfortun- ate and to relieve suffering. Dr, Bye of Onio, says that the good Samaritan who spoke our text was a traveling man. A poor fellow going toJericho fell among thieyes, who beat and robbed him, then left him for dead; and though a priestand a Levite neglected him, a Samaritan, who was a commereial er, put him on his own beast and took himto a hotel and said to the host, *“Take care of him, and whatsoever thou spendest more, when 1 come again I wi!l repay thee.”’ In his gifts the traveling man is seldom imposed upon, for he is quick to see the enuine. A little boy fell in front of a hotel in Lincoln, broke his leg and spilled the ccntents of his market basket. The traveling men present sent the little un- fortunate home in a hack and gave him #18. In the city of Hastings not long ago a company of commercial travelers went to church. They were given seats in {front and were attentive listeners. When the old deacon passed around the hat they each put in a silver dollar. Before he "got through with those m that deacon was obliged to take both hunds to us hat. Truth compels me to say, however, that the average commercial traveler is not very religious. He sees a good trade far more clearly than he sees the judg- ment day. ‘The man on the road is subject togreat temptations. For some reasons your temptations are greater than those which come to most men. You are bright and have monu{. 1f a man is a fool, or if he is very poor, he is not very apt to be a reat sinner, Again, you are away from home and home influences. Temptations to drink and gambie, to swear and lie and to go into the comp: of bad women come Lo you on ev b Again, {‘ou are in the habit of the Sabbath in what are called the day towns,” to have a good time.

There are hun- dreds of men among you now who are 0od men in the:best sense of that word. hey are christians, and they are not ashamed to let: this be known. The Hon.

Men rom your ranks are to-day being put forward for offices of honor and trust all over the land, both in church and state. God grant that the Jong list of good men among you may be greatly augmented. G‘:?d men are the wealth of our state. Create a sentiment against the rowdy- ism in the ‘‘Sunday towns,” which 1s R:;“c'l"““‘ 1n by some of your number. wdyism 18 everywhere below par to-day, and you ean hiss it down among your men if you will. Be reliable and lhornthly honest and you will surpass the brilliant man who is reliable only at times. Keep busy, for the busy life is a great shield ngainst temptation. Pick up the gold dust of time. Carry a good book in your pocket and at odd moments you can store your minds with the most useful knowledge. Some of tiic world's best scholars have been the hardest workers and the most busy men. Do not allow yourselves to be enslaved by the grosser sins. There 18 no need for the traveling manto drink to-day. A commercial traveler was once told that he would have to drink if he did business with a certain man, named. ‘“Then,” smd the salesman, “I will not do the business.” The trade was made; the traveler was asked to drink and smoke, and when he refused both, the merchant said, “That's ri{:m. old boy, stick to that and you’re all right.” 1 would to God that every one of the 250,- 000 traveling men were total abstinence men and advocates of the abolition of the liquor traflic. 0 not indulge in games of chance. Earn what money you have and do not gamble for it. Do not go with her whose house takes hold on hell. This woman will mcet you everywhere, but in the name of God I warn you to keep your soul pure. Give the right hand to every movement which lifts you and your fellows up. like the ring of “‘The Traveler's Protec— tive association,” one of whose aims is to ‘‘elevate the social and moral character of commercial travelers.” I am not sur- prised that this association at 1ts last annual meeting in St. Louis had 8,607 members in good standing. Find your way to the church on Sab- bath morning. ~ You may be a stranger in the city, but you will lind your moth- er's bible and your mother’s God in that church. Get all the good you can out of the sermon, and offer a heart prayer to God for your own soul. And 1 counsel you, above all, to give yourself to God. Then when you have sold your last bill of goods and made your last trip, you will not be dismayed when the head of the great house calls for your final set- tlement, A Ret-<Hot Christian, The Rillside Congregational church at Omaha View is building an addition, 44x 38 feet, to the bouse of worship which was completed only last January. Ex- tensive excavations have been made under the house-and old and new parts of the church, ‘which will give in the lower story parlors, a reading room and kitchen. The singing of this church is done by a quattette, which is already at- tracting the autention of church goers and music lovers. Last evening the pastor spoke to a crowded house on “Uncle John Vassar, the Red-hot Christian.” December 6, 1878, a man died who might be called the Paul of the Ninteenth The secular papers of earth did not mention his death, but it madean ex- citement in heaven. One man enters glory as a sailor escapes from a wreck to the shore. Another has an ‘“‘abund- ant entrance.” Doubtless there was a waving of handkerchiefs from every win- dow along the golden street and a burst of music from all the bands of heaven when he, who hardly called himself the “‘Shepherd’s dog,” was welcomed home. He, nhke D. L. Moody and Joseph Cook, was not an ordained min- ister. Once in the army offered a chaplaincy at $ mouth, but when some sugge the coin was the cause of his secking ordination he refused to go on with the exercises and continued a8 a colporteur with one-fifth of the salary. When Elder Knapp was holding meetings in Chicago with ¢crowded houses, but no conversions, he inquired of Uncle John the reason. He knew that Knapp had bought 1,600 acres of land, and he suspected he was thinking of real estate more than souls, s0 he answered, *‘Dear Brother Knapp it is not for the Lord’s poor dust to attempt to give you any light, but I have been wondering how one of the Lord’s dia- monds could shine with 1,600 acres of earth on jt.” Vassar's heart was full of Christ. The dollar had no glitter for him. He was sent to pull men out of the tire. Religion was his mother tongue. From that mid- tnight when under conviction he rushed o his wife’s bed and cried, *"How can you sleep when lyour husband is going right down to hell,” until the last word “‘Hallelujah,”” when he went up with a shout, he acted on the principle that the “King’s business requireth haste."’ Whether canvassing from house to house the strects of aristocratic Boston, or praying in a Nevada mining camp, or onducting & revival before Petersburg in the army of Grant, his motto was: The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.”” His meat was to convert men. He touched nlen with an electric shock. He had g duel of w ery one he met. His one ques : “My friend will you kindly pe: you been born again®” So hamble, kind and wise was ‘the spirit that prompted the question that seldom was he re- buffed, Thousands will be eternally glad that he asked that question, Shown into the presence of General Stuart, by whose scouts he had been cap- tured, ne immediately pressed personal religion u pon him, so that to save having a prayer meeting all the way to Rich- mond, the general sent him back to the union lines. A young man who had attended his meetings, saw him enter the house at noon. To eseape, he went into the corn crib and cruwled over nto a hogshead. Uncle John, missing him at the dinner table and suspecting the cause, examined the out buildings. Finding the door of the corn crib open, he entered, got over into the hogshead and in the nurrow space bowed and prayed until the young man was converted, e Visiting a young lady who ran up- stairs, he asked that the door be opened, knelt at the foot of the stairs and sent a prayer past her up to heaven. At a fashionable boarding house n Boston a proud lady of skepucal tenden- cies met him. \\'I’l’ he had gone she said to her husband, ‘*‘there has been an old man here talkinz to me about re- ligion.” **Why didn’t you shut him up?" said he, gruflly. ‘‘He was not one of the kind that you can shut up.” *'If I'd been here I would have told him to go about his business.” *“If you had seen him you would have thought he was abaut his business,” To a wealtby lady who would buy was hey SEPTEMBER %6 1887 = lic by smaller houses prices.

We have done so and have had the satisfaction of seeingour business rapidly grow to be one of the largest in the country.

It may sound big to tell you that these suits are actually worth twice this amount, but an examination will convince you that we are not exag+ gerating, and you will have to admit that you never saw such a suit offered for less than $10, Another great surprise is our all wool corkscrew sack suit, elegantly made and trimmed o which we will sell for $6,50_ No house ever sold such a suit for less than $12.

Such incidents jostle the sense of pro- priety of those tame, dlscrilmuntmlz. moderate, prudential, decorous, half- hearted, easy-going, average worldly church members. Vassar, like Luther, Wesley, Whittield and Moody, was not contented to sit like gilded bottles on the shelves of a_drugaist, while the sick world died. He came down and empticd himself into needy hearts with healing power. 2 A red-hot enthusiasin for Christ Iflunzmi suddenly into an clement of uke-warm piety will inevitably produce a higsing and ebullition.”” But he who would move men must come with an ur- gency which is overwhelming. If they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and they that turn many to righteousness, as the stars for ever and ever, then Uncle John’s wisdom was the true wisdom. Itis not he who has the finest poles, lines and flies, but he who brings home the best string of fish, Better a press gang method of forcing soldiers into the army of Christ than listless and fruitless conventional- ity. Better the exuberance of life than the composure of death. Nothing is more digmtied than a covpse, and noth- ing is more useless, whether on a church roll or in a pine cotlin. ———— Coming to Omaha.
