Augnst To the Stats Hoard of Tranaportation: Recorniing, as we do, the wisdom_and fidelity to the pubt lic interests gon manifested by the state board of transportation in its procecd- mgs, wo yeb most respectfully desire to place ord our dissent 1o their recent order ther reducing freight rates through state, S0 far as we are acquainted with the feel- ing of our community we believe that all are mitishicd sith tho Ko disconte pvember rates, and no t or dissatisfaction has been ex y to your honorable body. you order, about 15 per cent below the November tariff, is too slight to af- fect the farmer or the merchant iidivid ually, either favorably or otherwise, yot our railroads must avily in gross. Wo believe the effect of crippling the earning power of railroads to this extent will com- pletely discourave them from further con struction and compel partial withdrawal of facilities we now enjoy, while we are confi- dent. that if your order is insiste oheck will be put upon all new rail terprises from the building of which has been hoped for in the way of the devel- ment of the state, and in the increase in the wealth and prosperity of our people. For these rousons, we, tho undersigned business men, Merokants and bankers of Grand Island, do respecttuiiy petition your honor. able body to recall thé order n yuestion and make it of no effect, The foregoing petition was signed by fif- teen persons, reprosenting the business in- terests of Grand Island, chiefly real estate wen and bankers.

The passengers who travel the Cum- berland these daysseldom are reminded of the exciting scenes witnessed around the gambling tables on the boats which traversed the stream thirty years ago, says the Nashville American. Gam- bling in those days was heavy even in the Cumberland, and old river men re- tain recollections of them which they never tire of repeating to choice coter- ies, but it was on tho Mjssissippl that the ideal gambler flourished. For years gambling on the Mississippi has been a theme writton upon and read with interest. How the ideal planter, got through with his patrimony; how sixty orseventy bales of cotton or fif- toen colored people changed hands in a fow hours; but the uamlhor is always Poruuvt'd as a slender, lithe ana well- formed youth, with black hair, dark eyes, high boots and a dirk, a dashing cavalier sort of a fellow that would brook no insult. The bluff, good-na- tured, go-easy man of about |h|rly five, that did the winning, has been ignored. Gambling was heavy, and all the large eotton and passenger packets had forward of the cabin a room about 20 by 25 feot, called the social hall, This hx\ll was fitted up in the most luxurious style, with a bar,chairs and card-tables. Al these tables all day and night the planters, river merchants and officers were wont to tempt fortune. The favor- ite game was draw poker; but in those times the gentlemen would bet on any- thing, from what kind of a fish a man would catch on his line to a steamboat race, and the more & man lost the big- er lion he was. Even now xmnblln{( s carried on to a great extenton all rivers, especially on the Red and Ili- nois rivers, The most successful gamblers in ante- bellum days were George Brooks and “Bulletneck” Groen, so-called from & bullet that wae lodged in Kis neck. This Iatter gentleman played at and won in the bizgest game ever played on the Mississippi. It was a game of draw poker between himself and threo other planters, Groen had about $20.000 on bourd the boat, and the oth llows haa over-sized his pile, and the game was $100 ante with no limit. Green held a ‘ hand, and had staked his Last dollar, but still no one would ‘“call” him. So, motiomng the captain of the vessel to him, he asked for a loan, as he did not waut to run out of the game. To this tho captain assented, knowing Green to be a -u!l‘.v\ man, mul he told the clork to amount. When were setl the stakes until board, when one and Green delibe face down on the wore on the players called, laid tl table and said: if T win this pot I will never turn other card;™ then “showed up' four a and a king, a hand that _can’t be beat, as i matk rof course, winning. It is 1 that this man won over $250,- it oArda, 10 gamblers in the days of slavery cheated, and when he did and was dis- covered at it, ho could be found in a few minutes with a howie knifo or a bullet in him, more likely the former, for then it was a favorite wenpon, used with great dexterity, being throw experts over twenty foet and driven through a mark on a two-inch plank.

But the tramp talked quickly and excitedly, with jerky, expressive gestures, his hollow eyes fixed on the clubman’s every look and every motion, lending strengih to what he said, until the clubman seemed fascinated. As the tramp finished he got up from the bench and shook himself like a man ridding his mind of an unpleasant day dream. “Ugh, man, you ought to be an actor. Here's 50 cents.
