KNIGHTS OF THE SAMPLE CASE What the Oommercial Travelers Are Doing. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. @The Sympathy of the Brothers Ex- tonded to Mrs. Eaton—Working For Temperance—Jokes on the Boys. A Serions Accident. A commeroial traveler for the firm of Meyer & Raapke met with a very serious mishap Friday afternoon while coming in from South Omaha on the 2 o’clock dummy. He had apparently thought his week's work ‘was over before he had made his final rv);lorl, and had imbibed a little too freely of high licensp water., When the conductor asked him for his ticket ho stated that he had given it up once. There was one mistaken man on the train and as tho conductor had the autbority to claim by force that he was right he stopped the train and put oft the traveler. hile the train was being stopped the drummer be- came quite abusive in his language and after he was off he endeavored to get back on and the conductor pushed him back and he fell on the side of the track striking his face on a tie. He was badly cut about the face and there is some danger of his losin one of his eyes. He was picked up an taken into a saloon near by where he was attended by a physician and later taken to r'lll h?"l‘l‘.‘. His face will be disfigured from o, fal They Pay Their Respects. Ata meeting of Platte valley traveling men, held at Grand Tsland, Neb., Wednesday, the following resdlutions were unanimously adopted, ordered engrossed upon the minutes of the association and sent to the widow of the late Charles E. Eaton, victim of the re- cent wreck on the B. & M. road at Alma, Neb.: ‘Whereas, Having learned with profound regret and saddened hearts of the untimely death of our estecmed friend and fellow- traveler, Charles E. Eaton, at Lincoln, Neb., May 12, 1888, be it Kesolved, That our feelings of heartfelt sympathy are hereby tendered to his be- reaved wife and relatives who have sus- tained in his demise the irreparable loss of an exemplary friend and a kind and devoted husband. Ho was widely known among com- mercial men upon the road as a most ener- getic worker and socially greatly beloyed by all who met him in the daily course of busi- ness, May the memory of Charles Eaton ‘with grips in hand ever be kept fresh in our minds as we knew him upon the road. Resolved, That the secretary of this meet- ing have suitably engrossed a copy of these resolutions and forward them tohis wife, and also furnish a copy to Tne OMAnA Bk and any other papers that may desire it. The men present at the meeting voted to help Mrs. Eaton as far as was in their vower ‘with money, and pledged their aid to her in the prosecution of the railroad company. An Explanation. Rep Croup, Neb., May 16.—To the Editor of Tue Beg: In your issue of the 15th inst, you publish a statement from your corre- spondent at ‘Lincoln, reflecting upon the treatment of the late Charles E. Eaton, the unfortunate traveling man, by the surgeons of the B. & M. railroad, and inasmuch as I ‘was on the train all the way from Lincoln to the scene of the wreck with Mrs. Charles E. Eaton and her escort, Colonel A. P. Martin, of Lincoln, T am prepared to speak intelli- Rently upon the subject. It is true that Mrs. Eaton was first taken to Red Cloud as well as myself. Assoonas we arrived there I asked for and got an engine and caboose 1o take myself and Mrs. Eaton to the wreck, and just as we were ready to start word was received that the water was running over the bridge near Franklin and the track was un- pafe. As train No. 15 was now due and would be in inafew minutes and would bo sent round by way of Hastings to Oxford’s, that being only twenty-six miles from the wreck, ‘we arrived there at about 5 o'clock on the morning of the 28th. I then asked for and Rot & special engine and coach from McCook, which took Mrs, Eaton, her escort and myself down to near the wreck, arriving at Charles Eaton’s bedside twenty-six hours after his injury and not thirty-six a8 your correspondent puts it. It is true, [ removed soveral pieces of broken bone from his log and searched well and thoroughly and could find no more that I would have been justified in rmoveing. Iadjusted the frag- ments and lp{-lled plaster of paris bandage, and it was only removed when: it had served the purpose for which it was applied. As for myself or any other surgeon of the B. & M. \road, asking Mrs. Eaton to sign any paper exonerating the company from anything, is falso in every particular. ‘When Mr. Eaton left Alma for his home I again placed the limb in a plaster of paris bandage to keep it perfectly immovable. It is not at all astonishing that other pieces of bone should be found in & wound such as he had; the procoss of supperration will often show pleces that escaped observation at the first examination. I am yours very truly, JOuN M. FrANcE, M. D., Surgeon B, & M. Railroad. The Bearded Lady. R Mr. Gluick, of L. Modry & Co., lace im- porters at New York, says the St. Paul Globe, will hereafter be known as the Bearded Lady from an incident that marked his visit to Indianapolis. Gomg up in the elevator at the Grand hotel one afternoon he had for a companion a oright little fellow about ten years of age. After attentively wegarding the texture of Gluick’s black beard for a while, the youngster broke out: ‘**Say, mister, you look like the bearded woman at the museum.” “I am her brother,” responded the com mercial man, and the other passengers in the elevator were in a broad grin at the inter- shange of courtesies, He Rises to Explain. Tur Bek last woek published a special telo- gram from its Oakland, Neb., correspondent fo the effect that a traveling wan named Btarks had been arrested for drunkenness snd abusing a horse hired of a liveryman. Mr. Starks, in company with his attorney, @alled at Tine Bee office to say that his ar- #ost grew out of spite work on the part of thoe 1fvnrynmu, who clauns that his horse and bugegy were injured by reckless driving. Starks says he was not fined to the tune of $40, but paid $45 for his fun. He also stated 1hat hie would sue the liveryman for malicious prosecution, Appropriated Samples. The case of Louchheim vs, Hoffstatt came up for trisl a few days ago at Louisville, The matter promises to be of interest to all drummers and their employes, and the result will determine, in certain particulars, their relations to each other. Hoffstatt was ar- rested on the aMdavit of Julius Louchheim, of Joseph Louchheim & Co., of Philadelphia. He drummed the firm's trade in Kentucky, soliciting orders of ready-made clothing at an annual salary of $1,200 and expenses. He aileged that the salary had not been paid, and the evideuce went to show that he had disposed of samples to A, Cerf and I, Stern, converting the proceeds to his own use. This, the aflaut stated, he did fraudulently and feloniously, having no authonty so to o. Major Kenney,who defenfled, cited author- itics and decisions to show that there had been no aotyal or constructive tresspass and thut consequently there had been no offense of embezslement or larceny. The goods had not been given to him to be delivered to a third party, and it was evident that they had not been obtained through fraudulent repre- sentations or intent. There might be a breach of confidence, but aothing more; and, while such conduct was reprehensible, it was not for the court to determine what was best for the community, but to follow the con struction of the legislative acts on the sub- ject. Judge Lawson held it doubful thut a Ccuse could be wade out. Their New Club Rooms, A handful of polite busiuess men in dress suits were in waiting at the new -and cozy room of the Comumercial . association, 6 and 8 North Liberty stract,Boston, the other after- noon and evening, says the Boston Herald, and welcomed all comers with a hiearty hand- shake and a pleasant smile. In the front pare lor the James M. Deoms musical assoctation discoursed good music, while on the third floor in the well appointed assembly room & light lunch, prepared by Mullin, the carterer, was temptingly set out. The organization which filled up the rooms was incwmrnml on_December 1st last by rge W. Clotworthy, Oliver L, Rhodes, R. W. Cator, Jr., J. C. Simering ard D. T, Mad- igin. The rooms are for the use and anjoy- ment of business men in the city and of com- mercial travelers who visit Baltimore. The apartments have been handsomely furnished, papered and carpeted and consist of a parior and reading-room, billiard-room, smoking- room, nssembly room and retiring-rooms. The rooms will be in charge of two stewards day and might. A Temperance League. A number of commercial travelers in and about New York have organizod a Ten Times Ono is Ten club. It 18 a total abstinence as- sociation, On the cards they distribute to their fricnds_is printed the following : Total Abstinence is a Duty Man Owes Him- self, His Family, His Country, and His God. On the opposite face of the card was this ription: he Commercial Pledge. 1. To drink no intoxicating liauors. 2. To get ten others to join the league. Riding on Passes, A commercial traveler, talking to a Cleve- land Leader reporter abut the failure of the legislature to vass the 2-ceut bill, relates the following: “I witnessed a very peculiar in- cident on a small Ohio railroad a couple of weeks ago. The train was a shortone, consist- ing of a combined smoking and baggage car and an ordinary day coach. The latter was cut off at a local station, because there were no lady passengers, There were five gentle- men loft, and they all went into the combina- tion car. The new conductor came aboard and yelled ‘tickets,’ and I'm_blessed if every one of these passengers didn’t hold up an annual pass, Idiscovered afterwards that one of them was a state representative, an- other a shipper of coal, ond another an ex- press agent. The other two men looked like drummers, but why they should hold annuals I could not find out. The conductor was Yflrulyznd, and I could guess that when the egislator reached Columbus he voted against reducing railroad fares from 3 to 2 centsa mile. The bill should have passed, however, for the traveling public demand it} Temperance League Working For Temperance. Among other reforms among traveling men, says the Commercial Trayeler, the temperance question is assuming important proportions in some parts of the country. Temperance leagues are being formed in which every member besides signing the pledge expresses his determination to secure ten other members to the league. The plan seems to take well and tlourish. The attention accorded the question of temperance by the political partics seems to give promise of some national movement in this direction, and as traveling men are leaders in other matters so they could lead the world in this. Should they doso and succeed in forming a league of 100,000 by the end of the year, us is predicted they will, it would furnish the fraternity with a’' moral leverage they have long noeded, by which to raise themselves in the public estimation, . The day is gone by, however, when the commercial traveler was the acknowledged personification of everything that was cussed, and the gambler, the libertineand the drunk- ard is now sought elsewhere, OUmaha's Sunday Guests.

H: Rice, of Rice & Bro., the New York importers and dealers in novelties in oxydized silver, is making his first trip through the northwest. Sam Herzig, of Albert Herzig & Sons, tho New York fur dealers, has put in a week be- tween the Twin cities visiting and driving his trade. This winter and spring have been the worst the commercial travelers have ever had to ex- perience, according to the reports of some of the oldest men on the road. Herman Gottschalk, a cousin of the *great ianist and the representative of the firm of Mausbach Bros,, of New York and Chicago, importers of kid and fabric gloves, reports an extensive trade with the leading merchants of the Twin Cities. A business man of South Florida adopts this novel plan to keep drummers out of his place, and he says 1t works admirably, Bvery morning he places a plug hat and satchel on his counter. As soon as a drum- mer comes to the door and looks in he seces the plug hat and satchel, and he goes off be- lieving that another one of the craft has that ground already covered. It is an ill wind that blows nobody good," as will be seen by the following: *“‘Wot ‘weather has no terrors for me,’ said Manuel, one of the Hirsh Brothers, of Philadelphia, who boast an umbrella manufactory that covers seven acres, ‘‘and [never knew busi- ness to be better. If trade continues as brisk as I have found it during my short sojourn in the Twin Cilies, do not be surprised if I should permanently locate in the northwest.” The friends of W. H. Bryant, the traveler for the renowned Haish Barb Wire company, of Dekalb, IlL, will regret to learn of his in; ability to be on the road on account of ill- néss, Mr. Bryant has been ailing for several months, and has made only short trips out and in from his home in Lincoln during the year. His many co-workers and customers would be pleased to see him among them again and express a hope for his specdy re- covery. Two commercial travelers were chatting across the aisle and bits of the conversation floated along with the cinders into the faces of the other passengers. O, yes, it's a well managed hotel; best beds on the line,” said one. “‘But what's the matter with the mutton chops " said the other, The drummer who liked the beds weighed twenty stone or such a matter and the one who thought there was something wrong with the mutton chops was almost too thin to cast a shadow. Probably no salesman in the state of Ne- braska enjoys so extensive a trade in his line as E. M. Dimon, the popular representative of the celebrated Glidden barb wire of De- kalb, Il Mr. Dimon is a young man of splended habits, good address and a genial companion. Madam Rumor has it that his moving his head quarters from Lincoln to Ashland was not solely due to the fact that the place is more centrally located, but more on account of u certain young lady—one of Ashland’s most social lights. These samples hope to hear in the near future a confirma- tion of the reports of Madam Rumor. M. F. Smith, an able representativo of the Consolidated Tank Line company, has been vbecillating between Lincoln and Nebraska City the past week. While not. busy with his customers elaborating on the superior qualitics of his goods, and comparing the cheapness thereof with other concerns, he very pleasantly entertains his traveling com- panions with stories and incidents connected with the late war. Mr, King carried a _mus- ket throughout the entire rebellion, aud the vivid descriptions of battle scenes which he portrays in his peculiar English accent is al- ways listened to with the deepest interest by his audience.

Squeezing through the last deep gorge and a deep rift in the solid rock, cut out by ages of rolling wheels and trampling feet, says a writer in the Mining World, we reached the great frowning, double-bastioned gate of stone and hard burned brick, one archway tumbled in. This was the ob- jeet of our mission, the great wall of China, built 213 years before our era; built of great slabs of well-hewn stone, laid in regular courses some twenty feet high, and then topped out with large hard bureed bricks filled in with earth, and closely paved on the top with more dark, tawny brick, ramparts high and thick and castellated for the use of arms. Right and left, the great wall sprang far up the -mountain side, now straight, now curved, to meet the mountain ridge, turreted each 300 feet, a frowning mass of masonry. No need to tell you of this wall; the books will tell you it was built to keep the Tartars out. It is twenty-five feet high by forty thick, 1,200 miles long, with room on top for six horses to be driven abreast. Nor need Itell you that for 1,400 years it kept those hordes at b: nor_that, in the main, the mater used upon it 1s just as good and firm and strong as when put in place. Twelve hundred miles of this gigantic work, built on the rugged, craggy mountain tops, vaulting over gorges, spanning wide streams, netting the river archways with huge, hard bars of copper, with double gates, with swing- ing doors, and bars set thick with iron armor, a wonder in the world to which the old time classic seven wonder, all gone now save the great Pyramid, were toys. The great pyramid has 85,000,000 cubie feet, the wall 6,350,000,000 cubi feet. An engineer in Seward’s y here some years ago gave it as his of ion that the cost of this wall, figuring labor at the same rate would more than equal that of the 100,000 miles of rail- rond in the United States, The mater- ial it contains would build a wall straight around the globe. Yet this was done in twenty year: L S An Assurance of Health. Among the assurances of health af- forded us by the regular discharge of the bodily functions, none is more im- portantand reliable than that which regularity of the bowels gives us. If there is any—even a temporary inter- ruption of this—the liver and the stom- ach suffer conjointly with inactive or- gans, and still greater mischief ensues if relief is not speedily obtained. A laxative above all cavil on the score of mineral uomwuition or violent effect, is Hostetter’'s Stomach Bitters, . ap- proved by the medical profession and a most important item of the family ma- teria medica of American households. It is botanic, painless in action, and if persisted in, effectual. The stoma and liver, in no less degree and no promply and thoroughly than the bow- els, are regulated aud toned by it, and it is an admirable defense against ma- I and rheumatic ailments, and a benign remedy for kidney complaints, nervousness and debility. —~—— Although our wheat crop the past season was not as large as was expected, yet we can spare 68,000,000 bushels to foreign countries. HAUGHTY EMILIA. V. Vix: The old duke and duchess of Benvenuti had two ‘lovely daughters. Emilia, the elder, was & proud, stately beauty, avistocratic #1d majestic, with a lovely countenance, dark, beseeching éyes, and magnificént hair of the golden color of over-ripe wheat. Giuli- etta, the younger, was not beautiful, nor grand, nor impressive; she was but a pretty, unaffectod,sprightly maiden, whom one glaaly #aw in the high, gloomy salons of the Castle Florimonti, as one is pleased by a'little green sprig in a bouquet of stately roses. As the Benvenutis’ possessions were rich and princely, there were always many guests in the castle, espdcially as they were related to or on intimate terms with all who ‘were noble and in- fluential 1n Rome. Naturally, there- fore, the beautiful Emelian Benvenuti had no lack of suitors. Songs were sung to her, harps sounded in her praise, and the color she admired, the tender red of the peach blossom, glistened in the ribbons of many a gay jacket, and in the rosettes of innumerable berettas. And if the troop of pleaders about the beautiful Emilia became too thick, the unnoticed ones—rather sighingly in- deed, and with a somewhat soured mien—betook themselves to the little, unassuming Giulietta, who often said laughingly 10 her commanding sister: I receive ull the love-sick ones who cannot find a place by your side, and all the verses whicl ou_find super- fluous. In most of them I find my name in place of one stricken out—your own, Emilia. How flattering to me that is! And should I love any of these men? But what matters it? 1 care for you none the less on that account?” And with this the little senseless Giulietta would fall on Emilia’s neck, and the proud, beautiful girl would tenderly kiss her sister and comfort her. But it was ent that not one of all the young, brilliant, rich, noble or witty ‘‘love-sick ones” could cousole himself with the thought that the eye of the proud Emilia looked on him with approval, or that her smile gave him hope. With this fair being too proud to love, too ambitious: to choose any thing less than a_crown? It was pos ble, but very saddening to the unfor- tunate pleaders. On one sweet. September day, when the roses sent their languishing per- fume over the earth, and the whole world seemed a nest of still, holy joy, Princess Emilia and Pier Molina stood together in a shady byway of the park. He was come from the hunt, and looked handsomer, brighter, more smiling than ever in his picturesque dress, his gun over his shoulder, with his flushing cheeks and glistening teeth. Emilia had been singing. “Viola de Gamba,” a love song of Petrarch’sand Pier Molina had been stealthily listening. She had suddenly caught sight of the listener's shadow on the ground, as a puff of wind blew aside the branches which concealed him. ‘She had stopped shortand turned around angrily. But as she recognized Pier all her anger disappeared and she smiled at him. He wassomewhat taken back, had excused himself and remarked, h a sigh, how 'true was what "he had sung of the pains of love. A laugh flowed from her beautiful lips, and twosuns shone from her eyes. ““Oh, how you sigh, Pierino! Do you, then, feel the pains of love?” A flame spread over his face. “Yes,” he said, and’sighed once more. “And you love nnhappily?” asked Emilia. His bold, bright eyes sought the ground. “*Ah, yes! When we love where we should not, look up to what is far above us, yearn for what we can neverattain.” Brighter gleamed the suns in her grand eyes as they rested on the hand- some youth. A great joy or a good for- tune seemed to speak from them. “*Oh, if you loved even a queen, Pierino, why should you be downcast? And if vou' yearned for the proudest woman, who knows whether you would plead in vaiu?” “Really!” he exclai “Then even a princes: *If she loved you, said the Princess Emilia, and a world lay in her laugh—a world of yearning. **But her relatives,” said Pierino. “What does love care for them?”’ an- swered Emilia, softly, *‘the brave love of man and the fearless love of woman? If you love, be brave! Ask the maiden, and if she smile upon you, bear her. o your horse in the dark night and flee And if the e -y, they will not be so Return o happy pair, and the kinsmen’s heart will be soft- “Do you think so?” cried Pier, beam- ing joyfully. Then he bent his handsome face over her white, fair hands, placed a warm kiss upon it ana—disappeared. The next day the wildest conster tion and alarm raged in the Castle Florimonti. Pier Molina had. fled and had taken with him the Princess Giul- lettal! Years had passed. Ilight long years, duke and duceess were old and ill. incess Emilia remained unwedded. as still wonderfully beautiful, but veil of gloom seemed spread over her beauty. She had become prouder and a bitter contempt for all had come to her, The duke and duchess had not softened toward the ‘‘recreant daughter.” The old Molina had been tvrned off with scorn. All the pride in the vain old hearts was centeredin Emilia, Giulietta Molina was cast off and unknown, She must have starved with her husband, had not an old aunt warmed to them and allowed them a little income. So they had lived for some years in Rome in moderate circumstances, good or bad as that might be, sometimes unhappy, looked down upon, pitied; “naturally most miserable,” as the proud Emilia contentedly and grudgingly thought. For her proud heart could not forget its withered love—and, what true woman’s heart can? At last the old aunt died, and left her property to Giulietta and her husband. Then Pier Molina said to his sweet, gentle wife, who* had shared the troubled times with him 8o patiently and smilingly: “‘Giulietta, [ think it is now time to g0 to your relatives and begthem to pardon you, I know your heart isill with its pain, although ?'ou have never cuml\)lulnud of 1t to me.” “What hadIto complain of to you Pierino?” gaid Giulietta, with smiling tears, kissing the cheeks of her tender and handsome husbahd, ‘T have been 80 happy with you, He kissed her. “Now that we no longer struggle with want, since we are rich, we can go to your relatives,” he continued, “for théy cawnot think we are concerned about their money; only their forgive- ness, their love, do we wish. "And then, have we not our boy, Giulio?

The judge’s glass was filled several times by his host with some exceedingly fine sauterne, of which the host was particularly proud. The judge drank the contents of his glass down at a single gulp every time; still he did not seem to enjoy his wine very much, The host turning to him finally said: “How do you like that wine, judge? It is some thatwas sent tome from France not long ago.” The {\ldgu m‘h-a his glass once more and did not set it down until he had drained its last drop. **It tastes first rate,” he answered at iast, *‘but somehow or auother 1t doesn’t quite scem to reach.” The host laughed and handing down a bottle of whisky, said, **Suppose you try that,” And from the expression of the judege’s face it was quite apparent that it had “reached.” e ‘Without health life has no sunshine, Who could be happy with dyspepsia, i don snttiie P anaohos Sane cn diseases of the stomdch, liver or kid- neys?
