THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, MAY 14, 188y AMONG THE TRAVELING MEN. Thelr Various Doings of the Past Week. HOW HE SAVED A YOUNG GIRL. Tlerolc Deed of a Sioux City Man in Saving a Lost Girl-Coming Conyentions--Among Omaha Men—Grip Notes. The Drummer's Dream. 0! Beautiful home of joyous hours, Beautiful flolds of sweetest flowers, Beautiful birds and humming bees, Life is 80 pleasant with things like these. Bt we, poot souls, us Jtraveling tars,” Must roll along in the dusty cars; Nature may blossom and siile with glee, 1yt it's all the same to such as we. We think but little of nature's work; ‘We only speak to the hotel elerk; Though never of fields, or fruit or of grain, But “Call me up for the morning train." OxNE oF THEM, Ris falary Was Too Small. “Do you kngw that man over therel” asked one Detroiter of another on the Lan- sing train the other day, “No. “Well, he's a drummer for a Jefferson ave- nite house, and I've known him by sight for fifteen years. His employer told me the other day that he hadn't lost a day for twelve years.” He looks the picture of health." *'So he does, but I want to make a bet with ou, I'll bet you a silk hat he carries reme- ies with him for no less than six different ailmonts.” ‘D'l do it," They went over and the case was explained £0 the drummer, who laughed and replied : “‘Well, I dunno. I carry some troches to avoid hoarseness, T carry a bottle of cough medicine to ward off pneumonia. I have a rorouu plaster n my grip to put on if I get a ame back, I bave some corn salve, a bottle of Jamaica ginger, some auinine capsules, a phial of |)cp\verm|n'. essence, & box of man- drake pills, a liver medicine, a gargle for sore throat and a—." “Good lands!" eried both gentlemen in chorus, “Oh, well, what did you expeot,” he in- quired with an injured air. “A man on $1,200 a year can arry around a whole drug store, can he?’—Detroit Free Press. Look Out for Yourselves. “If every commercial traveler, who wields the influence of & membership in any travel- fng man's association,” says the Merchant Traveler, “will give a little time to carnest, eareful consideration of fraternity schemes And interests, and laying aside selfish motives and personal prejudices, decide that he will really take an interest in fraternal move- ments, something definite and commendable will be accomplished. The importance of questions involving the rights, privileges or comforts of traveling men can only be made vistble to the world av large by noising them abroad, and the possibility of securing them can only be thoroughly and properly understood by those interosted, by discussion and con- sultation ns to ways and means to be adopted for their accomplishment. Entirely too much time is consumed in fruitless faulttinding and fnconsiderate and unjust criticism of existing methods and the men having the management of our affairs in their charge. Sunday meetings could be held at the botels where large numbers of men are stopping and they could discues the interests of the association and its members and select delegates that would attend conven- tions and wake them a grand success aud benefit both for the houses represented and the men who are on the road. They Were Twins in Appearance. A amusing scene occurred a few days ago the Mansion house, Rondout, says a writer n the Rondout Freeman. Clarence S. Lyons, of New York, is o hat drummer, and Charles Stewart, Albany, is also a hat drummer. The two have been looking for each other for over a year, and all because they look so much alike, Lyons and Stewart are each five feet four inches in height. Lyons has a mustache and side whiskers and so” has Stewart. Lyons' features are somewhat sharp and so are Stewart’s. For the past year, when Stewart would enter a hat store to sell a bill of goods, he received this greet- ing: “iNo, don't want any hats to-day. Your twin brother was here yesterday and 1 gave him & large order.” Then Stewart would explain that he had 0 twin brother, but would like to catch the Fflllu\\' that looked like him. If Lyous went nto a place where Stewart had beeu the day fore, then he would be told the same thing y the proprietor and Lyons would vow if he pver caught his double he would make it svarm for him. But all things have an end- §ng, and 8o it happened that the drummers ho resembled each other 8o closely met by hance in Rondout. Lyous walked into the nsion House, and while writing his name u the register John E. Lasher, tho propri- etor, said: “Your twin brother arrived here this morning.” *‘Where is he! Where is that fellow that fooks like mei” exclaimed the excited drum- er. { Some one went to Stewart and told bim fhat his twin brother was in the reading Foom. *‘Let me get at that fellow that looks like me,'" shouted Stewart. The drummers were brought face to face, hey scauned each other over for a minute, and then Stewart said: S0 you are the chap that has boen pass- Lnr;g)l;{um]-wu off for the past year as my twin orin “‘Yes, responded Lyons, “I am the chap t!m has beon taken for the past year for the win brother of a fellow that looks like me and has been passing himself off as my brother. Thunder, though! we do look enough alike to be twin brothers, Shake!" The two men_shook hands, and at the sug- gostion of Mr. Lasher they weighed them- golvos. Lyons weighed 150 pounds and Stew- art weighed 151 pounds. For the rest of the day Lyons and Stewart kept each other com any and they were pointed out by people, ho said: *“Ihere go twin brothers." A Lost Girl Saved. After diligent inquiry the Be brings to the knowledge of the publicatale of life that has long been whispered about by the tray- pling fraternity and stands as a monument f honor to the hero of our romantic story. He was a traveling man representing a large coffce and spice house at Toledo, O., and traveled over the Union Pacific, Fremont, Elkhorn & Missour: Valley, B. & M., Chi- eago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha rail- road territory north, south and west of Oumaba, snd making Cheyenne, Wyo., and Chadron terminal points. His face was a faniliar one at the Millard hotel, and many an hour was brightencd by his sympathetic strains on the parior “Knabe" piano, which seemed the young man's favorite recreation. Energetic, courteous and noble, he made his way through life, starting as a penuiless boy in Ohio, until he has established himself in the geueral merchandise business at It was 1n June when he called eyenne to represeut the " coffee, where he met some fricnds from Ohio, now living at Cheyenue, who proposed seeing the town that evening by “gaslight.” Our traveler, like most of his brethren, iug of a jovial nature, accepted the invita- ion. The theater and restaurant were yis- ted early in the evening, and one of his 1riends began to tell of his experiences, and auwong other things mentioned the name of a certain young girl who but lately had come to one of their houses of illfrepute. The tory received the silent consideration of our ‘Sion" travelor, and the thought occurred 1o him that here was a chance to save a life from irrevocable ruin and shame. In com- pany with his two friends the party went to he house of Mrs. ——, centrally located in he city, and after some preliminarics our Pr. Sion Traveler, fully determined to manly potion, and with @ man's noblest incentives pourring him on 1o action, asked o' be shown she private ‘sroom of the girl, who is a pretty brunette of elghteen. He soon established himself in the confidence of the wayward girl who by 1 o'clock that morning bad told her life, showed wll her letters and with his encouragement and assistance was ready to leave the house to turn the short page of the wicked life back & few weeks and start in another and a purer course. Her parents, it was learned, roside at Sioux City, Ia. Sbe had joined a theater company_ at Omaha to enter the stage's trials and tribulations, a dosiro that is so often the ruin of many young girls. To dress and shine in luxury moved her to leave the happy domestic circie of s good home. From Omaha she roamed till Cheyenne was struck and there she found a_congenial life in the “house' referred to. ~Our “traveler’ at once bought two tickets for Sioux City, Tn., via. Omaha, and reached the Towa city with the rescued girl. At Sioux City the cars wore taken, her valise which eon- tained all her worldly goods carried within a short distance of her little home whero an aged mother received her wayward child home. The scene of their meeting was sublime and mother and daughter embraced each other speechloss and silent. Not a sound was heard save the sobs of overjoy and happy ting. Saved is another promising life and & mother can go to her graye with Ahe last glimpse of a once recreant daughter glorified into love, virtue and respect, en- graven and resting upon her heartand a mother's love and & mother's care has not been for naught. A father who has been toil- ing at the bench from morn tHll night with his eyes downward, his spirits downcast, and haunted by the thotights of a lost child—an only child—can once more see and enjoy the warm and cheerful sunlight of life. A girl of the fairest type, destined to go to her Eravn, after a worthless and debauched life, as onde moro entored the sphere of trué and useful womanhood. This act is but one more in the great drama of tho traveling man's life. It veri- fies the statement that ‘‘Man’'s kindness to man is the sunlight of a thousand hearts.” A TRAVELER. Selling Rubber Boots. The following men are representing Z. T. Lindsey, a promineut rubber goods house, on the road and are located as follows: Mr, J. V. Flaherty makes his headquarters in Salt Lake City and travels in Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Montana. He is a new man, but formerly traveled out of St. Paul. He is a gentleman all over, and 18 meeting with Single. Young man. W. Smith makes his headquarters in Denver part of the time, but lives in Omaha the greater part of the time when off the road. He is popular with his trade and ac- quaintances. He can put a pack saddle on a burro 8o it will stay there, and talk *‘dips, angles and sinuosities” like an old miner. He is single and is a young man. Mr. W. S. Caldwell sails along the B. & . system in Nebraska and quietly, calmly and serencly gets orders for New' Jersey rubber boots and shoes. He lives in Omaha and is a young and married man. Mr. J. E, Bell lives in Corning, In., and makes the Rock Isiand, C., B. & Q. ete, often enough to supply dealers for 200 miles east of Omaha with the New Jersoy rubber boots, shoes, rubber clothing, ete. Mr. Bell demonstrates the fact that Omaha can sefl woods half way to Chicago. Heis a married man. Mr. B. 8. McCoy travels on the Chicago & Northwestern and Illinois Central in lowa and Dakota, and sells rubber boots and and rubber clothing in a way that s the Chicago and St. Paul men " think they are working against chained lightning. Heis a young manand of a marriageable age. Mr. W. C. Urlau glides over the Union Pa- cific in Nebraska and Freemont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley as far as the Black hills and talks rubber boots and shoes and rubber clothing in season and out of season. He has been west 80 long that he knows every- thing an Indian says, but does not know what they mean. He is the tallest shoe man on the'road. Hesays he will marry the first chance he gets. Mr. H. Gallagher works city, south Omaha and Council Bluffs trade, and has a happy faculty of talking rubber shoes with other interesting topics. Ho is a single man and is young. Mr. I. P. A. Bruechert is a new man on the road o~.d may be called one who goes where most needed to talk the advantages of dealing in Omaha and buying Omaha goods. He is a single man, Presented to Miss Royce. “The Elkhorn Valley Traveling Men’s Fund,” headed by Jay Helphrey, Peycke Bros.’ popular representative, was presented to Miss Loie Royce, the Nebraska blizzard sufferer, at the Pacific house, Norfolk, last Thursday just before her departure for Riversido, Cal. It was Mr. Helphroy's in- tention to forward the amount—$100—to Tue Bee, but the opportunity was too tempting for him to resist presenting it in person and to give Tue Bee fund credit. The little lady is quite bandsome and entertaining, She expresses herself as cnjoxlng perfect health and seems cheerful while sitting in her three wheel invalid carriage. May she live as many years as the dollars in our fund rep- resents is the wish of the ELxnorN VaLrey “Boys.” A Chicago Joke. A story is going the rounds of the papers to the effect that the membors of the travel ing passenger association of Minneapolis have raised $20,000 to entertain the conven- tion that is to be held there in June. The Minneapolis men claim that the story is a mere joke given out by the Chicago associa- tion to kill the convention. The traveling men of the twin cities say they have not raised $20,000, but that they will entertain all their brothers who come to the meeting, and will do the samo in first-class style. Their Name is Legion. The importance of the traveler in our com- merce is not generally understood. It is stated on apparently good authority that in 1887 the army of commercial travelers was maintammed at a cost to the whole y Job- bing and manufacturing concerns of the country of §150,000,000; that three-fourths of all the freight shipped last year was on orders taken by traveling salosmen, and ag- gregatea 300,000,000 tons, Omaha's Sunday Guests.

Tt cost $2,000 to furnish the Traveling Men’s association club rooms at St. Paul. Reports come from all the towns through- out the northwest to the effect that business is very dull in all mercantile busines: he Commercial Travelers' Protective as- s n, of the United States, has a mem- Dbership of over sixtcen thousand and is probably the strongest association of the kind in the world. A meeting of the directors of the Com- mercial Travelers' club of Minnesota was held at the club rooms Sunday May 6, at 11 o'clock a. m., to discuss the gencral wel- fare of the association. A Huron, Dak., writer says: Our mer- chants are in a healthy financial condition, while trade is quiet, yet we are living within our income. Our farmers are feeling happy over the prospects of a good crop. The annual meeting of the Minnesota di- vision T. P. for the election of state ofticers and delegates and alternates to the convention of the national association T.

Our farming land, which originally was timber and brush, has been largely cultivated, and wheat, oats and corn are now the principal products. Crop prospects were never better than they appear at present. J. D. H. Painter, traveling freight agent of the Omaha line, knows how to play a game of whist, and loves it about as well “as any one, provided of course there is no busi- ness on hand. Ask him about the game from Madelin to Minneapolis between himself apd unknown vs H. S. Towler and Tony Shafer. 1 will be pleased to tell you of the thirteener, T. W. Harvey, representing the Pattee Plow company of Monmouth, 111, is again on a tour through the state. Tom is an old- timer in his line and to all appearances is getting younger every trip. If we would dare to tell a joke on him, we would repeat his remark, ‘‘that the nice little ‘sparkler’ that he wears in his scarf was lost_and_for- gotten by @ man ona ‘lark."—May be it was, but we doubt it. Sam Leland, of the firm of Tychsen & Le- land of Lincoln, who had his foot blown off by the explosion of a steam boiler some months ago, is again on the road. Although badly crippled he manages to get around among his trade and his customers manifest most substantial courtesy by giving him very liberal orders. M and is probably the best known of any travelingman n the South Platte country, and h:s many friends con- gratulate him on his recovery. ‘There is nothing so profitable as advertis- ingand a popular way to do so is in a display of the goods to be_sold. This is the belief expressed by Mr. W. 3. Howard, represent- ing the G. M. Jarvis company of San Jose, California, at the druggist's” convention at Lincoln last week. And those who paid tho play their respects can testify to the good es of the goods exhibited. A popular entative 1s_bound to make any line of goods popular. This being u fact the suc- cess of the Jarvis is assured.

L ey The Boisterous Atlantic is a terror to tamid voyagers, scarcely less on account of the perils of the deep than the almost certuvinty of sea sick- ness. The best curative of mal de mer is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which settles the stomach at ouce and pre- vents disturbance, To all travelersand tourists, whether by sea or land, it pre- sents a happy medium between the nauseous or ineffectual resources of the medicine chest, and the problematical benefit derivable from an unmedicated aleoholic stimulant, no matter how pure. The jarring of a railroad car often pro- duces stomachic disorders akin to that caused by the rolling of aship. For this the Bitters is a prompt and certain remedy. The use of brackish water, particularly on long voyages in the tropics, inevitably breeds disorders of the stomach and bowels. Hostetter's tomach Bitters mixed with impure water nullifies its impurities. Simil- yi nteracts malarial and other prejudicial influences of climate or at- mosphere, as well as the effects of ex- posure and fatigue.

Below will be found a sample of the multitude of letters of encouragement Messrs. H. H. Warner & Co., of Roches- ter, N. Y., daily receive, The subjoined unsolicited testimomials are from your friends and neighbors, ladies and gen- tlemen you kuow and esteem for their honor and straightforwardness, and who would scorn to be & party to any decep- tion. What has been done for others can be done for you, and it is folly, nay suicidal, to longer suffer when the means of recovery lie at your very door: McCoox, Neb., Jan, 81, 1858, —“Warnor's Bafo Remedies' have become a sort of ne- cessity or “oure all”’ among us, Several of my relatives particularly have taken “War. ner's Safe cure” for kidney troubles, and found it benefioial. McCoox, Neb, Feb, 1, 1888, In 1882, lived at Bellwood, Neb., engaged asa con tractor and builder. During all the summer of that year I was troubled with Kidnoy Complaint. I gotso bad that I had to q work and put mysclf under a physician's care who_pronounced my ailment to be Bright's Disease of the Kidneys, I kept fail- ing in health all the timo and could only leave my bed or room on very plessant days. I suffered terrible pains ‘and was constantly growing weaker. I thought something must be done and that quickly. I tried another ph{ak!hm, who was a Professor in a Medical College at Omaha, I had to go on the cars about ten miles to his office in David City. g)nc day I went to see him and he was not at omo. I went to the hotel to wait for a train home, but was in such pain that I could not koep still. T was so far gone that I kept pass- ing blood every few minutes, together with small picces that looked like liver. I went to a drug store to get something to ease tho pain and saw there a bottle of * Warner’s Safe Jure'’ on the counter, Iboughtitand began to take it. The first twelve hours after tak- ing it, there was but little change. K'irst [ noticéd that I began to sleep better and the discharge began to grow thinner and lighter and gradually resumed the natural color. After taking less than three bottles of '‘War- nor's fire” and remaining quiot for a few weeks, I was well and able to resume work at my trade. I did not take any medi- cine but “Warner’'s Safe Cure.” I am now 53 years old and have never had any return of my former complaint, T tell all who suf- for with lame back or iidney complaint to try “Warner's Safe Cure.” "I am sure that if' T had not missed the doctor on that day at David City and found *Warner's Safe Cure” would not have lived thirty days longer, LS Crarkr, Neb., Dec, 9, 1837.—I have used a number of bottles of “Warner's Safe Cure” and it has given satisfaction. Iwoyld advise every one that is troubled with their kidneys to use it. Pror ey 2l Curster, Neb., Jan. 8, 1888, —In the sum- mer of 1581, I took cold, whicl led to caturrh of the-ladder. I was confined to my bed for weeks. I had agood doctor, but only par- tially recovered from the attack. I was so bad that my bladder gathered and broke and I passed @ toacupful of pus through a catheter. After that time, whenever I would take cold, I would experience_the same old trouble. 'Two years ‘ago I began to take “Warner's Safé Cure,’ and after taking four bottles I got well and T am to-day as well as ever, 1am 58 years old. My wife has been troubled for several s with kidney cofh- piaint, and at times was 80 bad that_she al- most lost her mind. She commenced to use “Warner's Safe Cure’—“Warner's Safg Nervine” and “Warner's Safe Pills,” and noty she is feeling as well as she ever did. We feel very grateful. Gnnoy, Neb., Nov. 20, 1887.— take “War- ner’'s Safe Cure” as a Tonic and Liver Regu- lator. My wife takes “Warner's Safe Cure” for Liver complaint, and it seems to do her more good than anything she has yet taken, )/’{@zd? (Beatty & Beaty, Hardware and Furniture.) LipentyY, Neb., Nov. 29, 1887.—My wife has taken ~ Warner’s Safo Cure” and finds its effect extremely beneficial. G Shot a Huge Panther. Marvie Watson, a lad sixteen years of age and well known to the young Santa Rosans, engaged in an exploit on the ranch of G. Watson, near Ingrams, one day last woek which is worthy of note, as illustrating the *“‘stuff” of which our California boy is made. He was walk- ing leisurely through the brush with his vifle on his shoulder, wken his two dogs, which were gambolling playfully at his heels, suddenly pricked up their auditory organes and started off on a brisk trot on the track of some wila animal. True to the hunter’s instinct the boy was immediately on tho elert and not very far in the rear of his now excited dogs. Arriving at the base of a tall tree the canine trailers halted and raised their heads and voices towards the top of a tree. These perched in the branches was an animal the species of which rather puzzled the young hunter, but being a skilled marksman he would not have hesitated in exercising his skill even though the animal were a Bengal tiger. He fired and with ascream such as only lwrocouds from the lungs of ‘a California ion, the huge animal half sprang and half' tumbled to the ground. The wound inflicted by the bullet was not a fatal one, and the ferocious animal gave battle to the dogs, gradu- ally retreating the meanwhile. The young hunter did not hesitate for an instant in pursuing his game and soon found another opportunity of planting a bullet in the huge body, which proved fatal. The animal measured over seven foet in length. A Blood Will Tell, There is no Tlenuon about it—blood will tell—especially if it be an impure blood. Blotehes, eruptions, pimplesand boils, are all symptoms of an impure blood, due to the improper action of the liver. When this important organ fails to properly perform its functions of pu fying and ‘cleansing=the blood, impuri- ties are carried toalt parts of the system, and the symptoms above referred to are merely evidence of' the struggle of Nature to throw off slie poisonous germs Unless her warning be heeded in tim ious results are cevtain to follow, cul- minating in liver ot kidney disord or even in consumption. Dr, Pier: Golden Medical Diseovery will prevent and cure these diseases, by restoring the liver t0 a healthy condition. — Whipping the Parson. Young Will Penson, son of old man Bob Penson, sickened and died, says the Arkansaw Traveller. Mrs, Penson, the young man’s mothe. was anxious that a preacher named Dabbs should de- liver the funeral oration. Old man Pen- son went to the preacher and said: “Parson, my wife 1s putty nigh dead with grief.” **Yes, brother, I know that.” *‘An’ the children air awful stirred up. **Oh, yes, brother,” the preacher re- sponded. *Well, now,” said old Penson, “I'm "“k'h‘f' glad you understan’ the thing so well, fur in this here funeral ter do, I don’t want nuthin’ said that will jerk the pillar out from under the head uy dozin? grief an’ cause a fresh outbreak.’ 1 understand that, brothey:” ' “All right, then,” said old man Pea- MEN'S FURNISHINGS.

The neighbors had come and had arrayed themselves into the most dismal of all assemblages —a country funeral. The grief stricken mother, whose whole life had been cen- tered in her son, mourned in the corner of the room, and the children, struck with awe, hung back and whispered to cach other. The preacher arose and be{;nn to speak opthe noble qualities of the boy, extolled his virtues, and spent many words in_illustrating his manly quali- ties. The mother groaned. The preacher, seeming to take encourage- ment, began to draw about him the mechanical n‘)‘p\iunc'os of emotion. The mother shrieked. The friends began to wipe their eyes. The preacher threw himself back and began to paint an awful picture of death and gave his hearers a startling etching of the ne- cessity of repentance. The mother groaned in anguish. The father omi- nously shook his head. The preacher raved. He walked the floor and shouted with mourner’s bench declamation, The mother fainted. The father shook hjs head and muttered something. At the grave the mother had become almost calm. The preacher began to talk of the noble qualities of the boy.” The mother fainted again. “One day, two weeks after the burial, old magn Penson called on the preacher. & %y," said the man of texts, I did not expect to see you so soon. Any- thing you feel like giving me isall right, but we can afford to wait awhile.” “I have waited long enough for what I owe you,” said old man Penson. “I owe you a blame good whuppin’, an’ it's got to be Ymd right now.” “Why, I don’t understand you, sir.” “Yas, mebbe not, but I undertsan’ you. When I axed you to preach the funerel sermon uv my boy you said that you wouldn’t stir my folks up. I had talked ter my wife about grace an’ res- ignation till T had got her almost re- signed, but you came an’ knocked it all down. You told her about despair when 1 wanted you ter tell her about hope. You painted s pictur’ uv what we had lost, when I wanted you ter show whut our son had gained. Take off your linen, capn, for I'm goin’ ter use you rough.” “Why, I surely don’t understand Bl you will. You shove out the Xes uv sorrow whar you mout unfold the bright packages uv hope, He seized the preacher, choked him, beat him and threw him out of the house. Penson was arrested and tried, but the humane jury rendered a verdict to the effect that it is a minister’s place to brighten instead of to blacken; that he should console instead of deepen SOrTOW. —— “The triennial conclave of Knights Templar of the United States will meet in Washing- ton, D.
