Tho commercial travelers of this state have shown their appreciation of THE Ber's efforts to afford them every Mon- day intelligence peculiarly interesting and instructive to the craft. They have contributed to our columus freely in the past, and during March more communi- cations have been received for our com- mercial travelers’ dopartment than ever before in a given time. There are, however, a variety of subjects which have not been discussed by them in Tie Bes, and there are hundreds whose personal reminiscences on the road would make intensely interesting reading. To induce members of the craft to contribute regulariy to our columns, it isproposed to offer a thousand mile ticket, good on Nebraska lines, under certain conditions. The ticket will be purchased by THE Ber over the line chosen by the successful competitor, who must either represent a Nebraska house or travel exclusively in this state for an outside firm. He must present a letter from his house certifying that he isa regular traveling representative of such house. A thousand-mile ticket will be pre- sented, under above conditions, to the commercial traveler who shall be first to contribute 6,000 words worthy of being printed in THe Bee. He can count only that which appears in print. Don’t be afraid that your communica- tions will not be acceptable. We want the groundwork of your ideas or anec- dotes or. biographies, personal gossip (or anything that will interest the craft) and we will tone it up if necessary and put it in proper shape for the printer. The second best man will be given a year’s subscriction to the daily. Each competitor must clip all of his commu- nications as fast as they appear in THE MoxNDAY Bgg, forward them to this office, and sign his full name and the house he represents. Nannette. JOIN BECAN RYAN. O my beautiful love! My fair Nannette! Tho' the years havo flown I can ne'er forget The night of the danco, when first we met, When T looked in your- eyes of gleaming jot, And gazed on your regal splendor, And that other time, 'twas a night like this, The stars that night did their matins miss To look upon us and share in our bliss, As I clasped you close with a rapturous kiss, ilst your eyes shone, soft and tender. But alas, for the words that we then spoke, They've ended, as such words do, in smoke, For wo afterwards vowed that 'twas all a joke, And kissed and parted, no heart broke, Tho' that small cause for wonder. For my beautiful love, my tair Nannotte, With Yier raven hair for i lover's net, Was naught but a guileless, gay coquette Who never was caught, nor in Cupid’s debt For dart from his fairy quiver. And 1, also, if the truth were told, Was a flirting man, gay in days of old, Merely a trav’ling man, fresh and bold, To merchants and maids alike singing “sold," As 1 floated down Time's river. Exaggeration, Englishmen who visit our country and . becomo slightly acquainted with our people, customs, and institutions, tell us that one of our most distinctive charac- teristics is the habit of exaggeration. At the Delmonico banquet Herbert Spencer said that we were in too much of a hurry, that we seemed to have, steam and electricity not only in our factories and mills but in the very mus- cle and brain of our people. We admit that both charges are true to some ex- tont. We are in somuch of a hurry in our business that we do not have time to search for the exact facts, and and in speaking we generally make statements long enough and broad enough to compass the truth, the whole truth and anything that might be true. We live in a great country, and a grent age. Our mountains are 80 high, our rivers 80 long and wide, our territory 80 boundless, our inventions so marvel- ous and the progress of our towns and cities so rapid and astonishing that the 4dea of bigness is born with us. Oursur- roundings stimulate our imagination. An Englishman living on anarrow strip of country, out of which we could make & nice Indian reservation does not have to strain his imagination to take in his country, or to express ideas suggested by his surroundings. Exaggeration is the chief element in our wit. Statements which transcend | all bounds of truth, at which a Scotch- i Jman would be appalled, we call humor. Murk Twain, Bill Nye and Josh Billings are Ylenuuutuxaggemmrs. Trim their writings down to truth and they are dull. He was a true American who wit- messed the voleanic cruptions of Vesuvius that made the sky lurid and remarked to a friend that *“Niagara could put herj out in two minutes,” Our newspapers reflect our senti- ments and feelings. In almost every heading there is a leap beyond the truth. A grass fire in Dakota becomes “‘A most destructive conflagration that lays bare the country. Thousands of homes in ashes and millionsof property destroyed.” An ordinaryg kilrlng be- comes A horrible deed of atrocity.” A dozen or two men go to Washington to scck office and we are told of ‘'The most violent scramble for place ever known in the annals of our country. The city of Washington overrun with patriots.” A little private party is ‘A #plendid assembly of beauty and wit.” Our morchants show the same ten- ““K' Where is the store that has mot the largest and the cheapest prices? How frequent are such signs as ‘‘Great- est reduction in prices over known.” *“Terrible slaughterof our entire stock.” “Posittvely selling under cost.” The slow German soon catches on and tries to keep up with the procession, and over his saloon is painted a large ass overllowing with effervesscence &nd under it the sign, ‘A great big beer for 5 cents.,” It is questionable whether such methods of advertising are of any value, » Continued over- statement becomes weakness. The ublic long used to misrepresentations ave little faith in the sign of a mer- ehant that he is slaughtering his entire stock at half cost. The weakest way a fact can be stated is to load it down with cumbrous superlatives. Truth is gtrongest when neatly dressed, but not disguised, by art. e propensily 10 exaggerato reaches its height with the real estets dealer His ‘art is to go near without crossing the line where exaggeration becomes humor. It is easy to double the popu- lation of & town because very few people know the exact number of residents and every inhabitant is disposed to believe what is favorable. Tt is still easier to picture the possibilities of the future. We have seen cities spring up where we least expected a town, and who knows but that Crosby’s Cross Roads may rival Omaha, for the rail- roads are headed that way. Kearney is a plucky town, with advantages and 0881 bilitfl:u of which few other towns n the state can boast. Yet there is something of the humorous in the ad- vertisements of her real estate agents, who parade the fact that Kearney is ex- actly midway petween Boston and San Francisco. ~The artful association of Kearney with San Francisco and Bos- ton suggests the remark of the roos! picking in the stable with the horses “Gentlemen, let us not tramp on each other’s toes,” Kanopolis, Kan., we are told, is bound to be a city because it is the exact geographical center of the United States. Mark ‘Twain says Adam was born in the center of the world because that was a very advantageous place for him to be born, and it cannot be proved that he was born at any other place. For many years an exaggerated value 148 besn plkesa. upon Oklahoma and & tremendous pressure forced the open- ing. Our people love novelty, license, and that wllicL is forbidden. The de- sire is heightened by mystic orders and strange signs. The thousands of peo- plo who have gone there may in a short time, suy with the poet: ““The pricoless thing so fiorcely sought Hath lost half its value by being caught.” Uncle Sam will have to open the rest of the Indian Territory to satisfy them. In a school boy’s oration we are not displeased at a little exaggeration. We expect grandiloquence and we are disappointed if we do not get it. Kvery one has laughed at the bri- lliant sketch of the schoolboy who pictured the American eagle as the proud bird standing with one foot on the Allegheny the other on the Rocky mountains, with one wing dipped in the turbid waters of the Atlantic, the other in the blue waters of the Pacific, with her head resting on an iceberg at the north pole and fanning with her tail the soft breezes of South America. But in a grave legal argument auything a proaching what the boys call a curl is extremely distasteful! The peroration of one of the speeches in the King trial contained more bombastic, high-flown eloquence than any smart school boy would have been guilty of. It does the jury no credit to say that they were in- fluenced by this maudlin sentiment. We do not fook for a deep-seated rever- ence for law oravery high estimate upon human life in a new state where but recently cowboys shot men down on small provocation and men were hanged to the nearest tree for stealing cattle. Yet the sober sense of the people of Ne- braska will say it were better had that jury plucked a feather from the wing of their sympathy and stuck it in the tail of their judgment. As we get further away from our civil war the desire to magnify all the little incidents becomes almost a mania, Many a gray haired veteran wearing badges and marked with wounds, may, under a grim countenance, tell astory that will startle credulity itself. And the story once told around a camp fire loses none of tho particulars. ; “The flying rumor gathers as it rolls, All who tell 1t add something new, And all who hear it make enlargement, too” No wonder General Sherman said, in a recent number of the North Ameri- can Review, that he had heard so many stories about what happened in the “March to the Sea,” that he ad begun to think some other fellow by the same name conducted that campaign. We are so much in the habit of exaggerating, that an under-statement gives us pain. 1 recently purchased one of Rand & Me- Nally’s guides to DNebraska. They are sold on all trains and in all book stores. The book contains as many gross mis- reprosentations as it was possible to crowd into as many pages. The popu- lation of Norfolk ls given as 1949, O’'Neill is given 18. Chadron is put down as just a postoffico. Omaha is credited in black type with 6,183K. It is stated that the statistics are based on the last census. It may flatter Rhode Island and Vermont to quote the popu- lation ten years ago, but_it won’t do for a growing state like Nebraska. Can you not perform the office of the Laputan flapper and remind the Rip Van Winkle of this publishing house that it is high time to awake. Tell himn that Nebraska now is no more like Nebraska of ten years ago than an elegant dwell- ing is like a sod house. It would be ap- propriate to label this guide *‘Curious statistics about the early days of Ne- ‘braska,” Traveling men are said to exaggerate move than any other class of men. The charge is true, if it is meant that travel- ing men can tell more and better stories than other people. The drummer has a fine sense of humor, and he can ex- aggerate in a way to cause great laugh- ter. But he does not seriously exag- erate. He is a man of wonderful in- lormation, derived from contact with the world. He has crossed the Broolk- lyn briage, gone under the Chicago river, has heard the roar of Niagara, has followed the Mississippi to its mouth, and has entered the Golden Gate. He proceded Coptain Payne in Oklaboma, and led the railroads in the territories. He has been in hail storms, bliz- zards aud cyclones. He is acquainted with the great merchants and lawyers of New York and Chicago, and he knows the groceryman at Bom’s Mill and the justiceof the peace of Buzzard’s Roost. He cannot be called a citizen of any town or city. He is a resident of the United States. Why should he ex- aggerato? Does he not know the truth? Has he not heard with his own ears ana seen with his own eyes? ‘While other people may draw upon their imaginations for their facts, does he not draw upon his actual knowledge and experience? Lawyers, preachers, doctors and editors may learn from the man who carries the grip things not dreamt of in their philosophy. To Contributors.

A West Point firm, returning some strong cheese to the concern from which they purchased it; wrote: “Gentlemen:—We return this day by freight the cheese you sent us in last bill. 1f you will consult your own safety you will have ten policemen de- tailed to meet it at the depot on its arrival, otherwise there is danger of its doing much damage in the city, as it wus considerably worked up ‘when it left here. Respcetfully, ete,, J, 8.” BrokeN Bow, Neb., April 10, 1880, — To the Editor of THE BrE: Some time ago I hud a talk with the representatives of several Omaha houses in regard to werchants’ aud commercial travelers' rooms, and all agree that such rooms should be fitted up, and Omaha not be behind Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltis more, St. Louis and Denver, in the mat- ter. 1t would add greatly in developing Omaha, for there is not a Jeading house but would contribute to making this work asuccess, and if properly con- ducted by a board of merchants and travelers, say five of each, I am certain that there would not be any trouble in raising the money necessary. The fur« nishing would be a secondary matter. ‘We should be in a position to show the merchants and travelers coming to Omaha that we are not behind the times. Omaha with its location and in- creasing population and businass inter- ests should do everything to control the trade west of the Missouri. Her loca- tion would make a strong bid if it were shown to the country merchants, there were faculties to sell goods at Chicago prices with freight added.

YESTERDAY'S GAME. The Omaha Olub Enjoy a Little Healthful Recreation. The Omahas and the Beacous, the colored team, went out to the park yesterday to have a little fun with each otber. They had it, and a crowd of probably one thousand people looked on with feelings of joy, regret and re- morse confusedly mingled. All three of Omahas pitchers took a haud in the game, but Wilhis made the best showingof all, striking out no less than six, and not allow- ‘ing Plummer’s pounders a_single hit. Once he performed the extraordinary feat of strik- ing out the side on nine pitched balls, every one of which the batters struck at. Cooney and Nagle wok turns behind the plate. In justice to both Prosser and Clarke, it is but Taiv to state that neither exerted himself in the least. There was no occasion for them to take any risks, and they took matters casy. Italso should be explained that the colored team only embraced four of tho Beacons’ regular men, The score: OMATIAS, AB. R. 1B, SIL PO. A. E.

A Life Made Miserable By dyspepsia is hardly worth living. A capricious appetite, heartburn, puzzling ner- vous symptoms, increased action of the heart after eating, sinking in the abdomen between meals, and flatulence after, are among the successive indicia of this harrassing com- plaint. Two things only are needful for its removal. A resort to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and persistence in its use. These remedial measures being adopted, a cure is certain, Taken immediately before or after meals, this great stomachic promotes secre- tion of the gastric juice, the natural solvent of the food. The nervous and bilious symp- toms consequent upon chronic indigestion disappear, as the complaint gradually yields to the corrective and invigorative influence of the Bitters. Appetite returns, sleep be- comes more refreshing, and as a 'sequence, the body is efficiently nourished, muscular power increases and the mind grows san- guine. Use the Bitters for chills and fever nd rheumatism. Pt el The Divided Boomers. The ‘‘spliv” of the Nebraska branch of the Oklahoma boomers held a short meeting yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock in Kessler's hall on South Thirteenth street. Capt. Smith, the president, acted as chairman. The purpose of the meeting was to com- plete arrangements for the trip, The chair- man asked those present to enroll their names as members, if they were not already connected with the colony. Mr, Smith re- viewed the obligations which the members would be under, and it was decided that the colony leave Omaha next Thursday for the new country. Over 450 people have joined the colony, but only about half that number will t,'u to Oklahoma. Those who do not go with the colony will lose their mem- bership fees, unless they are old soldiers, who can have agents to act as their at- torneys. The moeting was not largely at- tended. Two Little Girls, 1 have two little girls—one two and the other four years of age. ‘They were both very badly afflicted with eruptions on the face and neck.

Important Problems Before the Btate Board of Transportation. THE MEMBERS NON-COMMITTAL, A Mysterlons Case of Kidnapping— Plans for Improving the Post- office Grotinds Sent to Washlngton. LINCOLKX BUREAU OF Tae OvMAmA Ban, 1020 P Staeer, } LixooLy, April 14, ““‘What is the state board of transportation going vo dot" This question has been asked with wonder- ful frequence in Lincoln during the past few days. answer or even a prognostication. opinion exists that the board is going to act cautiously, and will not make a move of any kind until the arguments in the Sutherland- Manning complaints have been thoroughly considered. Membors of the board are very n on-committal. woro filed against the Elkhorn and heard No one seems willing to venture an But the The complaints alluded to recently at Tekamah, As Tne Bee has already stated, they were made to secure a reduction of freight rates on coal and live 1t is understood that some, if not all, an order of reduction on tbe classification as prayed, and that it will be made upon o digest of arguments, which have just been received, the tendays allowed for submitting the same having expired. In some quarters of Lincoln the argument is rreely urged thatthe late action of re trenchment on the partof the Burlington will have a tendency to raise the fears of the tenderfoot. That is, the road seeks to con- vince that it has not been making expenses, has been losing mouey in fact, and chooses to lop off employes and accommodations rather than keep up the grind in the old way. Again it is urged that the action of the roads in Iowa in taking off accommodations because of raiiroad legislation fernenst their wishes will be repeated in Nebraska if a freight re- duction order of any moment is made. So it goes, and the state board of transportation is Kkept'in hot water day in and day out. “1 want to you," said one of the board to-day, “that I am getting tired of sitting between two fires. The claims of the people, brought about by newspaper agitation, on one _side, and the railroads, claiming to be half fed on the other, furnished a variety that tends to keep us poor devils in a restless state of activity. Bled to death on one hand and half paid o the other! Think of it. Now, the Burling- ton fellows are actually bent on lessening expenses by reducing the force of their holp in the various departments of their road. This, on the surface, looks as though their claims were based upon truth. But I get to looking into the receipts of the road, the real capital invested, and I am forced to stop and actually exclaim, ‘There is something wrong somewhere.’ It can’t be that the road is not making expenses when not handi- cupped. The great strike of last year must have something to do with ‘this spasmodic move of retrenchment, and not the possible order of the board for lower rates on freight shipmeuts.” The board of secretari returned from their visit to Covington yesterday. In con- versation with Mr. Gilchrist it is learned that the board did not fall desperately in love with the place. Nothing was done toward adjusting the depot difticulties there, but during the current week definite action ‘will probably be taken and findings made. If the town gets the depot relocated it will ve because of the ordinance contract accepted by the road when the track and switches were made and laid gome years ago. Valparaiso shippers file complaint agaist the Union Pacific for unjust switch charges. Notices of the complaini have been duly served upon the authorities of the road, and the case will be heard at the regular June session of the board. A Case of Kidnapping. Rumors of a case of kidnapping are cur- rent in the Lheart of the city. Enough is known to state that such an event took place Iast night, but this is all. The case is in the hands of Sheriff Melick, but he refuses to talk, There are implications that will cause some surprise m Lincoln and at other places where the parties are known. Names, it is said, are withheld for obvious reasons. The chiid is said to be of doubtful parentage. The Postoflice and Grounds. The pians for improving the postoffico grounds, contemplated by the recent act of congress, have just been sent to Washington, On :heir approval by the supervising archi- tect, bids will be advertised, the contract let and 'work will commence, The walk is to b widened around the square and the rough and uneven stone replaced _with something better. The grade on Q street is to bo lowered to a level prescribed by the city engineer, and stone steds to_be built entirely across the front of the building. In all, the improvements will cost §5,000. Apropos to improvements it is well to state that the business of the Lincoln postoffice for the last quarter shows an increase of 10 per cent over the corresponding period of one year ago. Excluding the money order busi- ness the receipts for 1888 were, in round numbers, $70,000. The sum 1s not sufficient, however, to raise the salary of Watkins’ suc- cessor, whoever he may be, and 1t will re- main the same—§3,200 per annum. The prominent aspirants'for the postmastership now are Dr, George B. Chapman and Judge Parker, with a growing faith that the former 18 the coming man. City News and Notes.

He Was Well-Known in Omaha and Once a Frequent Visitor. The telegraphic dispatches in Tur BrE of yesterday, from Philadelphia, contain the announcement of the death, at that place of John P. Usher in the University hospital, Mr. Usher was well-known throughout the United States by reason of having been ap- pointed secretary of the interior by Presi- dent Lincoln in 1863. He was well-known in Omaha, and in years back his countenance was familiar to the major portion of theresi dents. His son, together with a Mr. Russell, established a foundry here which was lo- cated at a point which is now termed “Bed- ford Place.” The firm of Usher & Russeil conducted a good business at the start, and among its patrons was the Union Pacific. After the latter established a plant here of its own the business of Usher & Russell was somewhat curtailed and the firm finally closed out. It was during this petiod that ex-Seoretary Usher was a frequent guest of Omzha, and av one time was considering making this place his permanent home, Hood's Sarsaparilla is peculiar j0 itself and superior to all other prepara tions in strength, economy,and medica merit.
