A DRUMMER’S OPINION OF OMAHA He Thinks She 1s the Queen of the West—How the Boys Work Their Baggage Checks—Among the Omaha Boys. Trouble in the Camp. The sailing of the Indemnity and Relief as- * sociation has not always and is not even now smooth, The members ef the Travelers' Protective association are the ones that suf- fer most from this state of affairs, A writer in the Minneapolis Tribune, in speaking of the organization, 1t needs and the way to make it a success, says: The work that has been accomplished by the association in the past should be a tower ofstrength for it in the future, and it is one of < incomprehensible things that men who erage up as well as commercial travelers in business ability, inteligence and fore- thought, can for the moment think of aban- doning an organization based on such broad and liveral principles, covering as it does the chasin between ordinary life insurance and common accident insurance, Let us reason the matter a_little. Every man, be he commercial traveter or not, is liable at any moment ot any day to be stricken down by sickness; his means of pro- curing assistance for those dependent upon him ceases from the very fact that he is un- able to perform the labor requircd by his employer, and tho latter not being 'n the business of running a_charity institution, is compelled to withdraw his suppoft from the man who in health would be valuable in his service. The question then comes: What shall be done for bread to eat? Itis a well known fact that fully 80 per cent of the 500,- 000 travelers in the United States are impe- cunious. T'his being the fact, it seems that the provisions of this association should recommend themselves without argument to every man who carries a grip and is the head of a family. The promises of the asso- ciation can be casily and faithfully kept by the officers if the rank and file will fulfill their part of the agreement. The latter can be summed up in three words—pay your assessments, Suppose that you are called upon to pay $2 each month iuto the treasury, 1t shoul cut mo figure, and pro- wvoke nodemurrer from the mostimpecunious member of the fraternity. He must be poor indeed who can shoulder a responsibility of acting in the capacity of commercial traveler and cannot, by hook or crook, lay by 82twelve times a year as a provision against the vicis- situdes of life; but this amount is not neces- sary. . Good faith, honest fulfillment of con- tract on the part of those who voluntarily enter into the contract, will accomplish the faithful carrying out of their obligation by the ofticers of the association for, at the out- side, §1.50 a month. Let us then, for a brief period, unioad our selfish, suspicious and en- vious foelings, hang them on a hickory limb and pray that a cyclone may come that way, or at least that we may never return to claim that part of our apparel. a.aving divested ourselyes of these garments, let us deter- mine that we will with one accord and in good faith give the indemnuity and relief asso- ciation twelve months of fair, square, honest support, and then if it is not a success, hang our harps upon the willow and let the associ- ation sink into that obscurity whioh it will then deserve, The Drummers' Baggage Dodges. At a meeting of the National Association of Baggage Agents held recently in New York some very peculiar questions in regard to their business came up for consideration, Among the matters discussed, according to a report in the Sun, was the circumvention of alleged wicked dodges of wily drummers, the facilitation of the transportation of the baggage of through transportation to tho west, and regulation for the transportation of corpses were the important subjects con- sidered by the members of the National Asso- ciation of Baggage Agents, who finished their semi-annual meeting. They consid- ered these matters behind closed doors, with President J. B. Browning in the chair. T'hey went for the drummers hot and heavy. Bitter complaint was made of the way in Whick they beat the railroad by smuggling in alotof sample case baggage without DI\)"I:I( for it. The drumwmer, did this, they asserted, by borrowing an extra ticket from a scalper at a nominal reptal, and having his extra mple cases over and above the regulation 150 pounds checked freo on the strength of the bired ticket. When he got b to town he_gave tho ticket back to the sealper, and had cigars and drinks out of the freight charges that he had ch d the railway out of. To block this scheme the association adopted yesterday a rule that horeafter bag- fog0 would be checked only on the single ckot that any passenger presontod. This knocks the hired ticket dodge to flinder, and the agents said that the railroads of the coun- try woulan't be slow to put the rule into prac- ce. . To expedite the transportation of baggage to the west the, association adopted an_im- provement known gs the “excoss baggage check.” This is a check that contains a _tab with a written record of the baggage carried by the owner, the gumber of sengers in the party, the weight of the AR and other poiuts of information. It is at the same time a receipt for all baggage checked by the passenger, A similar check is fas- tened to a single trunk of the passenger’s buggage, and enables agents on all roads traversed to keep track of the bug{:&: with easc. The owner does not have to er his head about it at all until he gets to his. jour- ney's end. This improvement was suggested at the St. Louis convention, and the ents are going to bostir themselves to have it put into operation on all tho railroadsin the country, 8o that it will be uniform the whole country over. They say it protects both the railroad and the passengers against 10ss. This mode of beating the railroads out of their just rates is probably more in the imagination of a few aged baggagemen than Jn actual practice. Omaha drummers when spaken to of the dodge, clamed that they had vever heard of the scheme, and do not eliove that it is practised in the west at all. They think if it is praotised even in the east it is very recently, and that the inan who is sharp enough to thus work a railvoad ought to get all of his baggage carricd free of :hlrge and to be givon a pass over the road, A Drummer's Day at the Fair. The Omaha dramiicrs who had counted on having & parade on the Fourth of July, ‘but yielded to their brothers at Grand Island and joined them in a grand demonstration in that city, have concluded to have a grand dis- play in this city during the fair week. A meeting was held in the board of trade rooms last Saturday afternoon to arrange for the Qay. The following well kuown gentlemen were appointed their respectivd committecs to make the arrangements: Programme--C. O, Lobeck, George M. Swigart and O. H. Gordon, arade--August Myer, G. H.

It was Vol t the meeting Sat- urday that Thorsday, September 6, be named 8 the time for the event. ‘ne directors of the fair association have consuited in regard to the scheme and have stated that they will do everything in their power to co-operate with the boys and make the day a grand success, ‘The jobbers of the city wre equally in favor of the day for thoir men and are anxious that ne Ibl’ may bo o for the day a numbver of the proprietors stated their willingness to contribute to the £004 cause. The proprictors of about twenty houses were called upon by & BEE reporter for their opinion on the pleasure and success of such an event, and they each and everyone said they would like to seo such a demonstration arranged, and as their men would all be in there was no doubt but that they would join into any plan that might be sugzesied for the day. It is the opinion of the boys that they can have over 500 uni- formed drummers i their parade, The success of the day depends largely on the meeting of the committees next Saturday l'mzh:.. The meeting is at 7:30 at the Arcade hotel. Loses at Play and Sulcides. The dead body of Henry Weiss, awell known Chicago commercial traveler, was found with a bullet hole in the head in Golden Gate park, San Francisco, a few days ago. Near him lay the weapon with which he had taken his life, and on his person were found letters addressed to his wife, giving as areason for his suicide the fact that he had lost at gambling money that he could not re- Weiss was a very successful drum- having traveled for several of the s in Chicago, and at the time of his death was in the employ of the wholesale clothing firm of Kuh, Nathan & Fischer. His wife 18 the daughter of Sigmund Hyman, the jeweler, and he was connected in the best Hebrew social circles of the city. He was a bright young man, and his ouly failing se to ave been a weakness when the tempta- tion of gaming came in his way. He arrived in San Francisco about three weeks ago, and, having begun gambling, was soon without money. He borrowed funds from friends and had drafts cashed which were dishon- 41-.?0 by lus firm, and in despair he ended his ife, Mr. Kuh said of him: “He was an able salesman and had been with us about eight months, The charge of forging drafts, which is made in the dispatches from San Fran- cisco in tho morning papers, is untr He did not forge anything, He simply made drafts on us, which we refused to pay in ac- cordance with our unvarying rule.

He had a lot of valuable samples with him, but every piece is safe, not a yard or piece being missing,” Advantages of the Capital City. "The question of the location of the national headquarters of the national traveling men’s association is one that has caused much dis- cussion, A writer in the Merchaut Traveler thinks Washington, D. C., is the place. In showing up the advantages of that city he says: The District of Columbia is neutral ground in the rivalry between states for membership and representation among the officers. It has no glowing promises to make of fabulous increases in membership. It pretends to be nothing more than a place eminently suited in every way for the headquarters of an ation whose membership is scatte from Maine to California, whether such an association is an organization of traveling men or the entire citizenship of the United States. Every eastern traveling man is familar with the case with which Washington is reached from the large enstern cities and with the advantages which would be cn- joyed in case of any legislativo objects, by being immediately in the field. ssociution place itself and its offi- cers beyond the reach of Chicago insurance and with the advantages offered by Wash- ington win its way (o the attainment of its originul purposes, As Others See Us. An Towa drummer, who makes Omaha in his runs, was inspired by Tue Bee's hotel boxes to address a letter to the “Drummer’s" department of Tur B It is to be hoped that others of the boys may follow hus ex- ample. In speaking of Omaha, its needs and advantages, he says: I understand you are to have a new hotel. Well, there is room for it, for if Omaha con- tinues to increase, develop, build, and in the substantial manner she has in the past three years, there 1s no telling where it will end.

Chicago is no longer far enough west, St. Paul is toc far north and Kansus City too far south. As I tell my eastern friends, Omaha is destined tc be the metrop- olis of the central west, having.the only proper location. I asked a customer of mine there yesterday when I could come to Omaha and not be compelled to walk around build- ing materials in the streets.

Pickering, national president of the Travelers' Protective association, had a nar- row escape once, says the Commercial Traveler, from be inter-state railway commission appointed by President Cleveland. When the commission was being made up a delogation of promi- nent traveling men, all members of the Travelers' Protectivo nssociation, waited upon the president and presented the name of Mr. Pickering. The president did not give a decided answer, but tno *boys” went away feeling quite confident that their man was going in. When the names of the com- missioners were made public Mr, Pickering’s name was not on the list. It finally leaked out how he had lost. Just before the presi- dent made the appointments a friend of Commissioner Schumacher called upon the president and by oily talk convinced the chief executive thut it would be better to ap- point tho latter, as he was a gentleman, while Mr. Pickering was a *‘mere traveli man, a bummer without any sense.” Mr. Pickering took his defeat calmly, as he could afford to laugh at being called a bummet. Mr. Pickering’s friends declare that he will be appointed next time. He Was From Omaha, “He wants the earth, it seems to me,” said a traveling man in a disgusted tone, ro- ferring to an assoclate who balieved in got- ting a plenty while he was getting. “Which; this earth that we are living on nowi" “That's what I meant.” “Well, ull I have to say is that I hope he'll succeed in obtaining it.” “What for"” *‘Hocause in about & mionth from now he'll be ready to carry it away, and the qoggone thing'll be so hot that it will burn him the first time he goes to pick it up.”—|Commer- clal Traveler, Arrested for Forgery. John Meyers had a hearing before Magis- trate Smith at the central station receatly, sdys the Philadelphia Record, on the charge of obtaining money under felde pretehses from Benezet, Paris & Collier, of No, 532 Market street. He claimed to be a traveling salesman for a New York dry goods commis- sion_house, and when in this city had his headquarters at the above named firm’s store. au presented to Mr. Paris & draft for $10 on oorehouse & Co., New York, wholesale dry goods merchants, and it was cashed and sent to New York. It was returned pro- tested. Meyers admitted having uttered three forged drufts smointing to $41, and said that restitution would be made. Omaha's Sunday Guests. At the Milla Richard H, Doyle and F.
