THE STAR CHAMBER SESSION. Dark-Lantern Methods Employed By the Rallroad Managers. PROSPECTIVE VICTORY STILL. The Owner of the Exploded B. & M. Boller Charged With Carelessness By the Coroner's Jury—Other Lincoln News. [PROM THE BER'S LINCOLN BUREAU.] The schemes of the railroad managers who conceived the compromise with the board of transportation when they saw public relief from their robbery staring them in the face, becomes more trans- parent us each day rolls along since the star chamber session. The managers went at it dishonestly. They dared not let the light of publicity in upon their proposed compromise which fact showed in itself the deceitfulness of their schemes. With two or three tools and sympathizers on the board of transpor- tation and with Attorney General Leese absent in the east, they succeeded after two days scheming in outvoting a por- tion of the board and in getting & ma- jority of the members to ratify a com- promise that surrendered the very principle for which the board has been contending and building to, for months, It is doubtful if some of the members of the board of transportation appreciated the extent of the railroad schemes when the roads insisted that the test case in the supreme court should be abandoned and the people be kept in as to whether the roads were ‘king in thestate or whether there was not in the law that they had attempted to make abortiv gome provisions that would hold their highway robbery tendencios to some ex- tont in check. The anxicty of the roads to have the test caso against the Ilkhorn road suppressed and stricken from the records is fully understood and appreciated when it is Tob W mbtaehY o membered that the Elkhorn road is a Nebraska road, and that with it the su- premeo court is the court of last resort ccause there is in the case no oppor- tunity to raise a federal question and take the test case into federal courts to drag a long and tortuous way through United States courts before a test could be reached. If the ease had been against the Union Pacific or the Chicago, Bur- lington & Quincy, the railrond attorne, would have laughed in the face of the commission and state courts and at once have raised 2 federal question and de- feated the and people in that manner. But while the roads in their se- creteonclay: ntly bound the board of transportation hand and foot through theirdark-lantern schemes and returned homeward chuckling, their fraudulent and deceitful little game may yet be throttled. Attorney General Leese is one member of the board who did not compromise, and when he returned home and found that the work of the summer had been sold out for a mess of pottage, he went to the supreme court and had the test case set for hearing on Monday, October 81, and on that day Mr. Leese and Judge Mason will argue the mandamus case. A VERDICT REACHED, The coroner’s jury, which occupied the entire day Saturday in taking tes- timony in the of the death of Charles Thomas, killed by the boiler explosion at the B. & M. well, returned a verdict holding that the deccased came to.his death by the explosion of the boiler owned and operated by John Roberts, and that the boiler was in an unsafe condition, by reason of the im- perfect working of the injector, which refused to su]lplf’ the boiler with water, thus exposing the crown plate, which became heated and absolutely danger- ous. The jury find also that the imper- fect condition of the boiler was known to the parties operating it. MUSICAL CONVENTION. Commencing on Monday evening of next weck Prof. L. O. Kmerson, of Bos- ton, will hold a muscical convention which promises to be one of the grand- est ever held in Lincoln. It will con- tinue five days and will close with a con- cert in which all the singers in the con- vention will participate. Up to the hresent time 125 singers of the city have joined the association, and it isexpected that fully one hundred more will attend the convention. The local officers are Prof. W. W. W. Jones, president; 1 3 Casebeer, vice president; J. D. M. Shirts, secretary; Geor,ir’u D. Camp, treasurer; O. B. Howell, D. F. Easte day, H. J. Seamark, N. P. Curtis, Mrs P.'V. M. Raymond and Mrs. J.

BRIEF ITEMS, Chairman Billingsly has published a new list of uppointments for republican meetings, covering every evening of the coming week. If the republican ticket is not elected it will not be the fault of Chairman Billingsly in not in- augurating a vigorous campaign. ‘est Lineoln is to have a new brick block among its many improvements the resent year, and John Fitzgerald will the builder. The plans have already been made for the building. The two colored girls brought from Omaha, who robbed a farmer lastspring while running a house of ill-fame iu this city, have been bound over to the dis- trict court under $300 bonds. The democratic central committee held a business meeting Saturday even- ing, preparatory to waging a vigorous campaign during the remaining days prior to election. E. P. Childs is chair- man of the committee and J. D. Cal- houn secretary. The Lincoln branch of the Irish Na- tional leaghie held a business session yes- terday afternoon to arrange for the re- ception of Messrs. O'Counor and Esmond, Irish members of parliament, who visit Lincoln November 1. P. M. Christianson, who gives it out that he is a deputy sheriff of Douglas county, is in the city jail for drunken- ness, having been fin 85 for his of- fense. He stated that he came to Lin- coln to look up a criminal S - Canadians to Get Compen iom, Orrawa, Ont., Oct. 23.—It is believed here that the reported rupture between Secretary Bayard and Attorney General Garland over the Behring sea seizures and the former's admission that the Canadian sedlers were wrongfully socized, will enable the Do- minion government to obtain compensation for their owners without difticulty. SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. Alderman Torscher has started up his new hotel, the Gate Ci This morning the laying of the mutor line along Twenty-fourth street will be resumed by the contractor, Mr. Hewitt.

About 150 cars of stock were received rosterday over the Union Pucific and . & M. railways. The roof of the new depot is being put on and will extend about three feet over the platform. The South Omaha gun club abanded the weekly shoot on Sunday. The temperature was too low for much en- joyment in shooting at clay pigeons. The work of enlarging the erossing of the Union Pacific track near N street will be commenced this week. The plans of the new B. & M. freight depot are completed and_the material for its erection is being brought to the grounds. The two new store rooms in the Third ward by Mr. Welsh are nearly com- pleted, as far as the carpenters are concerned, and will soon be in the hands of the plasterers. About a year ago the city of Omaha presented to the city of South Omaha a hose cart. The citizens of the then little village were thankful for the gif which was to them as uselcss as a_pic- ture card would be to a blind child, tnough they had.it placed away care- fully and it is to-day in as Food ropair as when they received it. The cart is complete, but the hose is missing and the city officers are wuhing for the hydrants to be put down by the Ameri- can waterworks company, when they will procure hose and have a miniature but competent fire department, which will be located in about the center of the city and in & measure insure some protection. On Tuesday evening the city council will hold its regular weekly meeting. Mayor Savage is out of the city, but expects to return in time to bedprenent, as there is a vacancy occasioned by the nation of Alderman Strothman, of [Mirst ward, which will be filled by appointment and for which place therc are & number of aspirants, the most notable of whom are J.

I have been a clerk in the Continen- tal Hotel, corner Exchange and Michi- gan streets, for some years, and first used ALLCOCK’S PORUS PLASTERS three years ago for a sore shoulder. I fell down stairs and got a terrible wrench and bruise. For several weeks I suffered acute puin in the shoulder joint, and, sotting no relief, or only temporary, fr erous liniments, T put on an JOCK’S POROUS PLASTE cept it on for two or three weeks,and my shoul- der was well. They also cured me in six weeks of amost obstinate form of dys pepsin. CHARLES A. STILES. g rted yesterday cturn on Tues- e Stumbled Aguinst a Fighter. While crossing the street on the corner of Eighth and Douglas yesterday forenoon Henry Thomas tripped and accidentally stumbled against W, M. Quinlan. Despite all apologies Quinlan hurled at him a volley of oaths and then struck Thomas several fierce blows with his fist. Thomas did not attempt to retaliate, but informed the nearest policeman and Quinlan was gathered in and caged at the central police station.

He fastencd the blame on May Brown and caused her arrest. Baxter was considerably surprised when he found himself also under arrest for being an inmate of a house of prostitu- tion. ADDITIONAL COUNCIL BLUFFS. The Bechtele Will Open. Arrangements have been concluded by which the management and control of the Bechtele hotel passes into the hands of Charles Yancey, formerly of the Revere house, at Creston, and W. J. Jameson, a popular conductor on the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney road. The former is a thorough hotel man and well liked by the traveling public, while the latter, by bis geniality, has made hosts of friends among ‘‘the boys” on the road. Under the management of the new firm the hotel will undoubt- edly do well Accidentally Shot. A young brother of W. S.

Mention the Ownka Bee: THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1887 THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELER, Itoms of Interest to the Men on the Road. TESTED A FULLY SYSTEM. Sketches of Notable Travelers—Oma- ha's Sunday Guests—Doings of the Drummer—Social Goss sip—Samples. The Drumming System. The idea of gending representatives of commercial houses on the road orig- inated with a Pennsylvania establish- ment forty years ago. Ata time when trade wasat its dullest, an enterpris- ing member of the firm suggested the propriety of one of their number taking a trip through the retail districts for the purpose of ‘‘drumming up trade.” To this same member was delegated tho tagk and he went forth, samples in hand and thus inaugurated a system which has become a fixture in commer- cial circles. Several establishments have endeavored to break into this cus- tom by the publication of ‘“‘price lists,” ete., and claiming that by ordering di- rect from the wholesale houses and ob- taining their figures from these lists the retailer obtains his goods at a smaller price than he could did the jobbers keep a high priced man on the voad. It is interesting to note the various results of the “no drummer” experiment. t must be admitted that througha liberal use of printers ink, several of the anti-drummer establishments have won and maintained trade, but it is just as true that out of ten houses which have tried the experiment at least eight have re- turned to the old and now fully estab- lished system. The list with its pleas- ing figures would be received by the country merchant with full apprecia- tion, and for a time many flocked to the aid of the new system, being deceived by the alarming figures of a traveling salesman’s expenses, and believing the greater part of the same was heaped upon the cost of their goods. It so happened, however, that the traveling sulesmen of other houses made stated visits, and for a time the arrival of the printed drummer by post and the coming of the flesh and blood represen- tative by rail or wagon became, very singularly, simultancous. Thus the issue was reduced to a bid between n&)rinted slip which had but one say and a loquacious individuat who knew the magin he had to work upon, and never missed an opportunity to un- dersell bis silent competitor. By the great majority of the friends of the new system, it was found necessary in defense of their own trade to return to the discarded plan. By the houses which sent out emissaries the fact that the old system wns the best was fully realized and the intelligent country patron soon became convinced of this. The expenses and the salary of the traveling sulesman amounted to quite a sum but the enormous increase in sales and the perfect maintenance of trade brought ahout by the jovial and in- dustrous traveler, more than compen- sated the outlay., To-day it is a rec- ognized fact that the expenditures in this direction, remunerated by the in- crease of trade, cuts no figure in the price of goods passed between the jobber and the retailer. In his journeys through his alloted territory the drummer, at all times an observing judge of human nature, secures far better information of the condition and habits of his patrons than can be acquired through any other source. The jealous care he gives the interests of his house along his route, and the beneficient results therefrom, would in itself repay his employers the sums they expend for his maintenance. His visits to the country town result in the formation of firm friendships through which trade is acquired and maintained for his employers. His val- uable store of information upon commer- cial questions, as well as the merits of different goods is often drawn upon to the great benefit of his patron. Upon his good judgment his friend and custo- mer places implicit trust, a trust which is never violated, and as a result the commercial drummer passes on his busy }mth through life, making friends for \imself, winning trade to his house and earning every cent of salary he re- ceives. For these reasons the system inau- gurated forty years ago is firmly rooted :]n the bed of the commercial circle to- ay. [ts results have been more than satis- factory to those who have maintained it, and each year tho increasing excel- lence of the system becomes as apparent to the public as it is beneficial to the jobber and retailer. Biographical. J. B. MCCRACKEN became connected with the establishment of W. V. Morse & Co. in 1880 and is to-day one of their trusted and honored representatives. Mr, McCracken is thirty year of age and up to the last accounts wasenjoying the bliss of single life. His routo is in the southern part of Nebraska where he has many warm personal friends as well as faithful customers. Not partisan in his views this gentleman has the reputation of being a thinker and not backward in express- ing his liberal opinions upon appropriate occasions. His large fund of general informatiop is often drawn upon by his frsends and patrons to their benefit. Though young in years, Mr, McCracken is old in experience, and his career in commercial circles has been a surpris- ingly successful one for so young a man. His record of sales will compare favorably with the best on the road, and he wends his busy way though life gaining friends for his house and bear- ing with him the high esteem of his employers and the regard of all who ad- miro integrity, pluck und onergy. " HoLLIs E. HOGLE is a representative of the Omaha Rubber company. Mr. Hogle went on the road for this house when it first oponed, February 188 The members of the company were the incorporators of the St. Paul Rubber company, and in looking over the field for traveling material did so with e perienced . The value of their judgment could not be better exempli- fied than in the selection of such a rep- resentative as Hollis Hogle is known to be. Not over twenty-six years of age, he has by close and studious application to the cardinal principles of commercial rules won for himself the confidence of his employers and the esteem of all who appreciate a cautious and indus- trious man. When Mr. Hogle accepted the position with his present employers he resigned a lucrative position in the drug store of D. W. Suxe & Co., where the same qualities of heart and head which characterize him, to-duy, earned for him the confidence of his. then, employers. By those who know him best Mr. Hogle is rogarded enial, i‘ovinl man and a thorough He is a graduate of phar- macy and well informed upon all topics of the hour. braska and Norv.hun: lowa. e ANDREW L. BAKER represents Gil- more & Ruhl, clothing. In June, 1887, the house began business in Omaha and during the same month Mr. Baker be- came connected with the house. Since that time he has made stated and suc- ceesful trips over his route, through the Elkhorn valley, along the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railroad and Western Iowa. Mr. Baker is thirty years of age, a popular and successful salesman and has the confidence of his employers and the warm regard of many friends. Y THERE ARE fow better known or more popular men on the road than Ed M. Lewis, the genial _representative of ‘W. V. Morse & Co. In 1882, Mr. Lewis made his first teip for this house, and since that time he has been a regular and welcome visitor to every quarter of his territory, which is the northern part of Nobraska. Mr. Lewis is a single man and denies ]mving crossed the line of thirty, yet according toa well in- formed and charming attache of the house, if an extra year is thrown in for good measure the endsof justice will not be seriously interfered with. Where the sweet magnolias bloom, is the native heath of this popular trav- eler. Inform be may be said to be ex- ceedingly ample, flet he has won, and justly too, the rank of Adonis in trav- eling circles, Known to every man, woman and child throughout his spa- cious territory, he always has a cheery word for all with whom he comes in contact; the admiration of the ladies and the envy of his fellow travelers, his reputation as a jovial, genial gentle- man does not detract from his standin, as a first-class salesman. His recor since his advent on the road has been an admirable one, his sales are large, his friends numerous and his standing with his employers one to be envied by many an older man. " S. V. B, HOLLOWAY became con- nected with the Omaha Rubber com- pany in March, 1887 and still represents that house in the territory of the Union Pacific between Omaha and Denver. Mr. Halloway was formerly from New York city and is a thorough business man and successful ‘‘drummer.” Thirty- eight full grown years have been wafted over this gentleman’s head, leaving in their wake no trace of time’s devastation. Mr. Holloway is a chuant. affable gentleman, very popular with the trade and possessing many friends. In stature he is perhaps short, but his munx friends note with pleasure the rapid progress he is making in this line, as is fully evidenced by the fact that a large part of his genial self isin plain view above the capiliary substance with which nature endowed him. Mr. Holloway has the confidence of his em- ployers as well as the respect and es- teem of the large circle in which he mingles. * % JosEpmt_E. CORBETT repretents the house of Gilmore & Ruhl, becoming con- nected with the same in June, 1887, Mr. Corbett travels through northern Kan- sas, wostorn Colorado and southern Ne- braska. He is a married man, thirty years of age, and formerly lived in Columbus, Ohio. As a salesman Mr. Corbett is regarded as among the best, and as a gentleman he is one of the pleasantest. His success since his ad- vent in western circles has been de- cidedly flattering. *u FIFTY YEARS ago Andrew C. Weir made his advent in this world in the uighlnnds of Scotland. For many years Mr. Weir with his family resided in Minneupolis, but real- izing the advantagesof Omaha as a jobbing center for the western trade, he came 1o the Gate City in 1883, when he became and has since been connected with the wholesale house of W. V. Morse & Co. His territory lies on the Union Pacific railroad between Omaha and North Platte. Mr. Weir is a Scotchman and - sesses all the characteristics of that rugged race. His long experience in commercial circles has been decidedly ndvnnun%eous to his employersas well as to himself. By a strict compliance with every promise made, and the fulfillment of every guarantee, his patrons place implicit reliance upon his representa- tions, and realize that their confidence will not be abused. To this gentlemen his employers and all who know him oonfidem.l{ point 88 an example b{ whic! the rising generation of traveling salesmen may be guided with profit, A hard and earnest worker, Andrew Weir, everattentive.to his em- ployers’ interests, neither fails to put in six days of faithful labor in the week, nor to remember to keep the Seventh llo:ly. as he was taught in auld Scotland todo. Itissaid by thoso who know him best that while ‘“‘neither the angelsin heaven above nor the demons down under the sea” can everentice this gen- tleman from the strict [‘mth of duty, the one wealk spot, a part of every human, will be readily touched by the stray notes of a bagpipe—this is the only sin laid at his door. Condoned as it is by friends, it can by a charitable public be overlooked. Omaha's Sunday Guests. The hotels in this city were crowded with traveling men yesterday, which {fact demonstrates that there is a boom in business. Among the many was the clothing drummer, with his samples of winter goods, the man who carries the grip for the furrier, the boot and shoe men with their heavy foot wear, the novelty man and his samples of holiday goods, and in fact nearly every kind of saleable merchandise was represented. These many drummers show that Omaha is becoming a centre for business more than it ever has before, and it is the general expression of the knights of the grip that their business in this citx' was never better, mong those at the Paxton were: M.

Shortness of breath follows, and the patient ‘breathes with labor and difticulty. In either case there is a sound of cracklin and wheezing inside the chest. At this stage o the disease thie breathing is usually more rapid than when in henlth. The patient has aiso hot dashes over his body. The pain which accompanies this condition 13 of a dull character, fell in the chest, behind the breast bone, or under the shoulder blade. The in may come and go—last a few days and hen bo absent for several others. The cough that occurs in tho first stages of bronchial ca- tarrh 13 dry, comes on at intervals, hacking in character and is usually most troublesome in the morning on rising, of going to bed at night, and it may be in the first evidence of the discase extending into the lungs. ‘Sometimes there are fits of coughing induced Dy the tough mucus 8o violent as to calise vom- iting. Later on the mucus thatis raised is found to contain small particles of ter, which indicates that the small fubes in the lungs are now affected. With this there are often streaks of blood mixed with the mucus, Insome cases the patlent becomes very pale, has fever, and expectorates before any cough ars. AR kome cases small massos of cheesy sub- stance are spit up, which, when pressed be- tween the fingers, ‘emit a bad odor. In other cases, particles of & hard, chalky nature are spit up. frhe raising of cheesy or chalky lumps in- alcate serious mischief at work in the lungs. In somo cases catarrh will extend into the Jungs in & few weeks; in other cases it may be mounths, and even years, before the disease at- tacks the lungs sufiiciently to cause serious in- terference with the general heaith. When the disease has developed to such & point the pa- tient i3 said to have catarrhal consumption, With bronchial catarrh there is more or less fover which dilfers with the dilferent parts of tho day—slight in the morniug, higher in the atternoon and evening. SNEEZING CATARRH. What It Means, '}F}—" Acts, and What 8 Cat Fur. Boston Herald: Tt is estimated that not less than 9,000,000 kittens are brought into this sinful world. Of these the great majority are miserably drowned—a practice which is destined shortly to be done away with by the recognition of the catasa lur«bearlns animal. Rugsof selected Maltese an tortoise shell are alrcady quite expen- sive, and excellent imitations of various furs are made in this material. Taxidermists, too, are advertising for kittens by the thousand to stuff for or- namental purposes. At present the only purpose to which they are applied in ‘this country isthe manufacture of carriage robes, but vast numbers of them are sent to Europe, where they are in great demand for coats and hats, dressing gown linings and other gar- ments. The peltscome in from all parts of the country. They are gathered by pro- fessional collectors, who supply them by the quantity at regular schedule rates. A common cat-skin is worth 5 cents; a pure Maltese, 10 cents, and a black one, 25 cents. A carriage robe of the best cat fur is worth from 840 to 850. There are ulwn{la plenliv of stray cats running wild in the rural districts. The Maine woods are full ofthem. They breed wonderfully fast, and it is good sport pupl)illl.f them off the fences aad stone walls ulong the roadside. —_—— The ghost at the white house is said to walk half of every night, but he could do double that amount of work, if he wasn't afraid of the morning _air, and knew that De.
