The event of Arbor Day the present year in Lincoln will be the laying of the cornor stone of the Grant Memorial hall at the state university grounds. Propitious weather will witness & great stroet display and a largn attendance of citiens from points in the state, as well as tho loeal assemblage of Lin- coln_citizens who do no work of this charac- tor by halves. It will be & holiday to-day Lixcous Bureao or Tie OMana Bex, } 102t the fire with a wind from the other direction would have made it extremely precarious for John B.

Chase, who removes to California, was held Saturday ard was satisfactory, all_but six of tho lots being sold. The total received from the sale was 11,000, The board of public works are_advertising for bids for the construction of the stone sawers across Antelope creek in the eastern part of the city. The time for closing bids 18 the 30th of the month, and the board expect to have work on the sewer commenced spood- ily thereafter. By Hood’s Sarsaparilla is peculiar to its- self and superior to all other prepara- the city and the banks will close the entire day, the state and county offices in the after- noon, and it is probable also that the freight offices of the different roads centering here, a8 well as a major part of the business houses, will recognize the legal holiday by a suspension of business at least a portion of the day. There will be trees planted in Lin- coln as usunl on Arbor Day, and the nursery stocks have an extra supply with which to meet demands. Lincoln is rapidly becoming a forest city, and thousands of trees have already been planted without the formal waiting for the formdl day. Parties who take part in the exerciscs of laying the cor- ner stone of the ball are alrcady arriving in the city. Colonel Staughter, grand marshal of the Masonic fraternities, ison the ground, and Grand Master Milton J. Hull, who lays the stone, came in on the afternoon train. Captain Henry of Fairmont, the principal speaker, arrives from the west on the morn- ing train. TIRD DISTRICT MATTERS. The fact, that the T) congressional dis- trict breaks the record and nominates its “ candidates for congress at the same time that it selects delecutes to the national con- vention has causcd an early awakening in that district and brought numerous people from that section of the state who talk poli- tics,. A number who have been in the city the past week have expressed the opinion that Congressman Dorsey would be renom- inated on the first ballot. A gemleman from Colunibus states that the aspirants for Mr. Dorsey’s shoe leather have been quictly at work attempting to have the convention de- layed, but it was not his opinion that the plan would meet with any endorsement. THE PAVING QUESTION. At fhe city council meeting to-morrow night the paving question will be paramount, as it is the time fixed for the final decision of the council on the question of material. There will be about three miles of work to dispose of, and a large bevy of contractors have waited and worked for this decision that .will settle matters. During the past week the advocates of brick pavements have urged their material, but thus far none of the districts have expressed a preference for that material. In each of the districts where mectings of the property owuers have n held to decide the question of material o majority prefercnce has ex- isted for cedar blocks on conerete, and the council is practically a unit i favor of ysing that material. The question of the stone for curbing is also figuring largely, as & change from Colorado sandstone to Ban- dera stone will work a change in the con- tract price on the totals with two or three bidders, according to the report of the city engineer. In the meantime the contractors for the paving of the second district that was Tet a year ago have pushed preparatory work ready for active business,and several blocks in the district are now ready for the con- crete. The laying of blocks will commence the coming week if the skies remain pro- pitious, and several hundred men will be en- %mqu in public improvements at an early ay.

Avkansas Traveler: “Did you ever know a cyclone to make a dash ata great city? No, for that’s not the nature of a éyclone. When is a cyclone hap- piest? When it can slip up on some lit- tle weatherboarded town that has just one to sleep. Then it dances a jig of urious glee. It dashes at the court house and scatters it about the public square; seizes the Methodist church and slams its life out against the town hally wrenches the groaning windlass from the town well and kills the mayor with it, and then enters upon the frolic of general destruction. But how does it act when it strikes a great city? It is like the cowboy, who having shot out the lights of a frontier saloon and made himself master of the place, goes to a big town and piteously begs for a drink. It gathers up dust and throws it in the eyes of the people, but does not_demol- ish the chamber of commerce. It howls with cowardly rage, and then dozes in a vacant lot. “Never mind,” it says to it- self, ‘1 know what I am doing. Yonder is a'countryman with a blanket about his shoulders. , He ilves in alittie vil- Iage out in lowa. I'll follow him out home, and, after he has gone to .sleep, Ill pick him up and beat his life out ogainst the ground. Then 1'll go into the village park and tangle the maple trees like ocean weeds heaped upou a surf-beaten shore.” No sir,” the westerner continued, “there is nothing more cowardly than the cyclone.” fdP o pan R She scolds and frets, She's full of pets, She's rarely kind and tender; The thorn of life Is a fretful wife— 1 wonder what will mend her?

St. Paul Globe: Years ago Russell Sage, the Wall street mogul, was as- sistant superintendent of the Milwaukee road, and was located at Minneapolis. He used to enjoy @ quiet evening’s fun with the boys and did not dislike a lit- tle game of draw. One of the stories that they tell of him was that he one night sat opposite ‘‘Doc” Noble. He had been playing in good luck, and when he was making a bluff would pull out one of those long leather pocket- books and, displaying its contents, re- mark: “Will ses you for my pile.” They used to wear high too boots in those days and Noble had removed his to rest his feet. Finally Sage caught three queens. He bet all his chips and then out came the leather pocketbook. Noble, who held four kings, bet every cent he had, and when he saw the rocketbook did not wince, but setting his boots on the takle, rer edt DI just call you for the balance of the leather Russell took down and the party broke up. “The best on ¢ an traly be of Grigg’s Gly Ve cure for cut sores, piles tions, T conts. -Drug Co. nid bry tettes y this wonder healer. 25 Guaranteoed, C.

THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELER Items of Interestto the Men on the Road. A GRITTY WOMAN DRUMMER. The Tourist’'s Scheme for Getting Fven With the Hotels—A Tragedy—A Salesman Held Up—Omaha's Sunday Guests—Samples. An Energetic Woman.' Awriter in the New York Mail speaks of & Iady whom he erroneeusly terms “the only successful woman drummer in this country,” thus: Mrs. K. Kabok is pretty. She travels for a Franklin strect dry goods importer, and covers the entiro cquutry. - This branch of industry has long been pre:empted by men, and it nas been regarded as next to impossi- ble for a woman to_achieve success on tho road, but Mrs. Kabok's career shows that popular opinion 1n this regard is wrong. The hardships of the business she bears equally as bravely as her fellow salesmen, and her employers are more than pleased with her work. Her expense bills are lighter than those of tho other travelers, as cigars and beer bills are not included in her accounts. Although she is unable to dine her rural cus- tomers and bait them with costly luncheons, she manages to secure their orders as readily a8 any of her competitors. Mrs. Kabok is young, plucky, well in- formed, and carries herself with tact and dignity. Her life has been filled with ad- venturcs. She came to this country from Vienna with her father in 1873, Six years ago she was married in Chic later her husband committed suicide.” She then moved to this city, where her children died, It was then that she sought employ- ment to earn her living and_divert her mind from the sad events of the past. When asked about her work, sho said: “T like the work. I travel just as quickly and cover just as much ground as my male competitors. I have never boen insuited yet. Ihave met with rospect wherever 1 vent, wherever I was and whomsoever I ap- proached. It lies entirely with a lady to be protected, and that is through and by her own demeanor.” Regarding the ability of women to sell more goods_than men, she said: “I think they can. You sce, a woman has certain tastes and ideas hich a man, in that ro- spect, T think, is not particularly gifted with. As long as you suggest the thought, I also believe that if once in carnest_with her work and occupation a woman will ‘stick’ to it more closely and _show a little more energy than a man, Maybe I am_mistaken in it, however. And, after all, T still remain tho woman with all that word implies. _Only re- cently, at the Palmer house, in Chicago, I ment a couple at the breakfast table with a little golden-haired angel between them. The image of my own boy rose up within me, and T had to leave the table. Up in my room I then had a real good cry. But I felt strength- ened, and two hours later sold & large bill.” Verily, the world does move, despi Brother Jaspar's asssrtion to the contrary verything 1s Running Smoothly. A traveling man who attempted to make the town of Milford from Lincoln Tuesday last made some discoveries in regard to the Burlington road’s ability to transact and handle business. This gentlemanwent to the depot in the early morning hours to go to Milford on an early freight. He found six or eight otnher passengers going the same way, and the train made up ready to go, but no locomotive to haul it. Two other trains were made up, also waiting for engines. For eight long hours the traveling man and his fellow passengers waited for an_engine to take the train and then gave it up. The gentle- man furnished_the following communication or the benefit of the public: LiNcoLN, April 17, 1888.—To the Editor of 'The treatment shippers and the traveling public are receiving at the hands of the B. & M. is_most shameful and un- bearable. The writer of this has been wait- ing eight solid hours with five other passen- gers in a car laden with filth and disorder, attached to a train advertised to leave Lin' coln at 7 &, m., carrying both passengers and freight. Among the other passengers is Mr. G. W. Elston, of Columbus, Neb., having in chiarge a carload of fine brood mares, which he loaded last Sunday noon at Murray, Ia., 150 miles east of here, upon the positive as- surance of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad agent at Murray that they would go gh without delay to Columbus. They ve now been out over forty-cight hours without feed or water, and are standing sixty miles from their destination in_the B. & M. yards here waiting for an_engine to come in off theroad to take the train. Mr. Elston and the other passengers feel excoedingly tropical and swear they will never patronize the B. & M. again. A TRAVELING MAN. DANDY ENGINEERS.

At3:30a. m. it was r ported by the B. & M. employes that this train would leave on time. It was made up and ready to leave on time, but it was o'clocl—two hours—before an_engime could be secured and the train started. The engine had a full supoly of coal and water, but had not gone twelve miles when the water gave out, and the train was left standing on the prairie while the engine was run to Bennett, five miles distance, for another supply. After long delay the train was again started, but before it reached Dunbar the coal gave out, and the train was again left whilo the enginé proceed to Nebraska City for another supply Understand that from Lincoln to Nebrask any other than u .thoroughly incompetent engineer such a thing would never oceur.

How long— oh, how long must our lives be trusted with these scab engineers! AN OMamA Drusmes, A Great Scheme. 1 am frequently asked the question whethor it is cheaper to burn gas in large hojels or to use electric light all through tho house, re- marks a hotel keeper in the St. Louis Globe- Democrat. Of late it has been practically demonstrated that electricity is the cheapest light. A hotel expects to make what little rofit there is in the businoss off the travel- ng or transient public. Now that class of peoplo consists chiefly in drummers and tourists, who want and demand more for their money than any class of peoplo on carth. They requirc more attention and cause more trouble and annoyance than any other class of people who pay the same rate. Queof tho biggost items in hotel expensos 18 the gas bill. The regular boarder retires at cortain hours and turns out his gas. The drummer, ever alert for any scheme to fur- ther his own interests, has adopted a plan to “‘got oven,” a8 he calls it, with the hotels. Every ono of them carries gas_burners and & pair of pliers to put them on brackets or chanaaliers. The average hotel gas burner i of the three foot size, thst is burning about that number of feet per hour, which gives ample light for rooms under ordinary cir- cumstances. But the drummer is not satis- fied with this. He unscrows the threc-foot tip and replaces it with his own six or eight foot burncr, whioh ho lighta just. as soon s h# gets into his room and lets it blaze away all nignt, giving enough light to illuminate a hall and'sufficient heat to warm the room. The tourist is guilty of the same trick, wnd they make gas bills climb_up at an enormous rate. With electricity this trick is done away with and a big saving made. A Tragedy. A fow dayd ago Nicholas Goldenkirch, a traveler for a New York silk house, was shot and mortally wounded by Charles W. Green, a rcal estate dealer, at the residence of the latter, 18 Rodney street, Williamsburgh. The shooting occurred at 8 o'clock, and Goldenkirch was shot down while he was en- tering the front door. It would seem that after he entered the house he encountere Green, who ordered him to leave. Golden- kirch rushed at Green, when the latter drew a revolver and fired the fatal shot. Dr. Cor- nelius Olcott ordered that the police be noti- fied. The ambulance was also summoned, and when it reached he house Goldenkirch was still unconscious. The bullet, entered the man's loft temple; and his death was expocted at any moment. Although the family refused point blank to ive any information, it was iearned that smma Greon, & sister' of the prisoner, de- clared she had been married to Goldenkirch, which claim the latter repudiated. After the shooting she refused to have the injured man removed to the hospital. She said he was her husband aud she wouid stay with him. A Tourist Held Up. a traveling salesman for wholesale boot and shoe house of Memphis, Tenn., was recently held up by highwaymen, while making a team trip, and relieved of his personal effects and two trunks of samples. The Merchant Trav- eler gives this sequel to the hold-up: Tho day aftor the cpisode a not was handed Barnett, which read as_follows: “Wheh you come again bring two shoes of a kind, We're not one-legged in this coun- try. Youll find some of your stuff in_the smoke house in the salt. We keep the others to sell to one-legged men.” Having the smoke house searched Mr. Barnett found, sure enough, in the salt sacks, about half of his samples. The robbers had evidently gotten disgustod on finding that the shoes were all for the right and none for the left foot. They will probably consider a shoe drummer beneath their notice after this Mr. Barnett's loss will amount to about §200, Omaha's Sunday Guests.
