The parade movement is now woll under wvay and there fs no longer any doubt that there will bo fully as largo a tarn out as there was last year. The committee appoint- ed to visit the merchants roport satisfactoty progress, and With the cordial co-operation of the boys the affsir will boa great success.

Wheeler, the western representative of Meyer & Co., wholesale druggists, St. Louis, was a Sunday guest at the Millard. Being handsome, fat, jolly and a good story teller, Mr, Wheelor enjoys great popularity among his kind of people. *I can give you an occurrence,” said ho to a BEr reporter, ‘that has never been in print. It has the novelty of being true and implicates Charley Adams, who 18 well known to all the boys. Some years ago Max Bazine & Co., of Phila- delphia, commenced manufacturing & newly concocted perfame, which in time grew into great demand and they soon made a big for- tune. Adams happened to be one of the first traveling sulesmen sent out by the firm. Then he was young. inexperienced and naturally tumid. While at Milwaukee. amoug others, hie visited the well known drug house of Buttons, presented his card and quietly waited to be welcomed. Much to his surprise, however, old man Buttons took the little piece of paste-board, and without turning nis eyes from a_steady, se- vere guze into Adams’ face, tore it iuto small ieces, threw ‘them on tho floor and said: oung fellow, wo never buy goods ummers.’ You can imagine how tely Adams was knocked out. He wrote to his omployers and told them what Buttons had done. With that the matter dropped and Bazine went on manufacturing his perfume just the same. It became so much in demand that no drug store could get along without it. Finally Buttons sent an order direct to the manufactory. Instead of filling it, however, Bazine toré the paper into shreds and mailed them back to hm ‘with an accompanying note, saying: ‘If you ‘want any of ovr goods, buy them from other parties, we can't doal with you.! That, I consider, was a very delightful way of getting even for wsulting a drummer.’ He Saw the Geese. ‘Wa wore standing, one day, in front of a small country swre in a one-horse town in southwestern Indiana. We had made the rounds and were waiting for a train. The conversation turned in some way to the sub- Ject of eyesight. An old Hoosier farmer who had been listening to our conversation lounged up and said: “I reckou yew fellor s air right smart chaps a-gallavatin’ roun’ through the kentry like I'va heern tell yew dew, but 'll 'low, b’ gosh, "at I kin seo furder ! druw a bead finer nor any one o' ye.

An’ I pulled my ol gun up to my shoulder an’ let ’er go. Well, w'en we got daown thar, sure 'nuff, stranger, thar warn't no squirrel thar. 'T wan’t nuthin’ ‘cept a tarnal little chipmunk ’bout half's big' my han’. But he wuz ded, stranger. There kain't nuthin’ git away frum me w'en I shute.” “Very acute eyesight,” ¥ remarked. “Cute?” the old Hoosier answered. “Wal, Idunno's thar war nuthin’ so very oute bout 1t, but I reckon it war right smart seein’.” Al throngh this wouderful recital Georgo B., who dearly loved a practical joke and mever missed an obportunity to perpetrate one, had stood gazing fixedly off toward the northern horizen. When the Hoosier had nnlumd, e remarked, "Yes, uncle, that was migh d ‘secin’,’ no doubt, but I'll go 01 & big Found dollar that you can's toll g he number of geese in that flock up there,” pointing in the direction in which he had been zazing. We all looked, but could see nothing. George winked. 'The old man shaded his eyes with his hand and said, “‘Wal, I reckon I kin sec the geesecasy 'nuff. I hain't right smart on countin’ nohow, stranger, but. I ca'late theyse ’bout thirteen in thet air flock, 'z 1 kin see 'em now.” We all strained our eyes, and presently a flock ove in sight. They came nearer and nearer, ‘© couuted just thirteen. “Thunder!” said George, as he handed over a_dollar, “where in blazes did those geese come from ! I didn’t see them before.” “They had come upon the #cene just In time to win a dollar for the Hoosler. The Drummer Abroad. “I'll tell you what I saw in Manchester, England,” said @ gentleman who lately re- turned from a trip abroad. *On the hotel rogister I found the name of ‘C. Sidney Smith, U. 8. A, ambassador to England and France and S. P. D. to the czar of Russia.’ It was nanlle to me and I smelt a mouse, but T waited to see him before giving auy- thing away. After a few hours he called at my room. Then I found him to be an ex- drummer for a Chicago crockery house. He had saved up a few huundred and was making the tour. ; -w::u lndmfl Vnu to register as you did? 8k ‘Simply to moclva the rupeoz and con- ddernl.lon due me," he revlied. ** *Does it cheapen your bills?® ** ‘No, not to any extent; but 1 gives me the best for my money, and [ have free car- rlage Hdel and many invitations out w dine.

Ailworth, represeuting Winslow, Rand & Watson, importers of teas and coffecs, Boston, was in Millard, Kan , a few days ago.

He ropresents the Britton, Richardson & Co. dry goode house, of St. Joseph, Mo., and Las baou coubected with 16 for about two yoars. Prior to this, however, he made Ne- braska territory twelve years for Tootle, Maul & Co., of Omaha, and visited almost every town in the state, Dan quit the last named company to engago in the real estate business in this city. and he is said to have garnered all the way from 5,000 to $10.000 in cold cash. But the rip proved to be too strong an attraction for glm and after a season off he commenced the weary pilgrimage for tae company with which he is now engaged. Dan_ is great on fakes, and there isn't a bald head restorer on earth that he hasn'ttried. And moreover he has a penchant for pootry, and he entertains his friends by the bour reciting extracts from Ella Wheeler Wilcox, and some of the boys think of making a date for him on the stage. Drummers’ Day. Although active work was not commenced on Drummers’ day until late, they have, profiting by last year's experience, accom plished n great deal in the past weck, and thing is in readiness and a grand parade is insured. At the meeting Saturday night the executive committee stated they had secured over 500 names and would be- gin collecting the $1.50 nssessment Wednes- day of this week and that thy received an enthusinstic welcome from ull the wholesale houses, Five hundred belts, badges and parasols have been ordered and will be fur- nished all who join in the parade. The Omaba Fair associution offers to issue compliment- tickets to each salesman admitting him- self and lady to the fair on Wednesday after- | noon, September 4. These tickets will be handed out with the badges to all in uniform at the headquarters in the board of trade tuilding Wednesday morning before the parade. Committees wereappointed to meet with the traveling men of Council Bluffs and Lincoln on Sundey afternoon and extond to them a cordial invitation to join in the parade. Mectings were called at_Fremont Hastings, Grand Island Norfolk and Beatrice for Sunday afternoon, and a good report is expected from cach place early this week. An ample supply of silk hats has been pro- vided for ut the same price s lnst year. Traveling men’s headquarters will be estab- ments will be served to all of their friends who call. W. S. Helphry hasbeen appointed chairman of the committee on refresnments, and that does settle it. There will surcly be pleaty for all. An excellent band has been secured by the committee on music and will be established at headnuarters, This will certainly be an enjoyable featureof the afternoon. The following vice presidents, appointed Saturday evening, are expected to do their best to assist in securing a large attendance from the pective towns, as well as else- where: Grand Island, ¥. . Lockwood; Hastings, W. B. Sheldon; Lincoln, R. Sim- monds; Fremont, Ed. Lord; Norfolk, Helphrey: Chadron, J. C. Carson; Council Blufts, John Stork; Sioux City, Lyman rice, R. F. Bacon: Columbus, Kearney, Alf Ny Red ebraska City, Eugene Bradlby; Ogden, Utah, J. Beatty. Each one is requested to notity the secre- tary, M. W. Ryerson, care of Richardson Drug company, of their accept- ance at once, that the executive committee may know who to depend on. The president has appointed as marshal of the day, W. L. Eastman; assistants, Tom Harvey, C. W. Close, August Meyes, Jack Garrett, The secretary also wishes to state that a notice has been mailed to each and every Omaha salesman, but realizing how uncer- tain the mails are, requests all* to consider that a personal invitation has been extended, whether a card was received or not; and it is hoped that every traveler will not only be on hand, but will cousider himself a commit- tee of one to see that the rest of the boys are there, too. This is not worked up in the in- terost of any particular ones but for all traveling men, and they as a class can not afford to see it anything but the grandest feature of the entire week.

A Mosquito Can't Let Go While Yon Hold Your Breath. Three or four men were sitting on the ! piazza ousid go smoki lished at the fair grounds, where refresh- | A LT Ll g snys the Washington Star, It was even- ing. The stars were as thick in the sky as freckles on a red headed girl’s face. The wavescame in on the beach with o swish-swash-swosh just as they have done ever since the second day of the creation. More piercing than the song of the es were the notes, and more multi- tudinous than the stars in heaven the number of the mosquitoes that haunted that pinzza, and every one of them was “looking fer blood.” The men had ccased smoking for fun. They now puffed their cigars to keep the mos- quitoes aw “Something funny about mosquitoes, ™’ said one rather absent mindedly. **Yes, rather,” w.u the drawling re- ply. Y finny how, muehiblbod 16, akes o fill one of them up.” **No, but honest, now; do you know that if'a mosquito’d get his ‘bfll down into your hand he can’t pull it out while you hold your breath? *Don’t believe it.” It is true, however, for I have tried i.” *Bet you the cigars that a mosquito can take his bill out at any time he wants to do it, I\nd we will try it right here. Isita go?” ““Tt is, and I’ll let them try.” A lamp was lighted, the ciears put out, and all waited. In lessthan a min- ute a mosquito had placed himself on Tom’s hand and began operations. *Now,” said Tom, and placed the fore- finger of his other hand down close to the mosquito. It did not budge. He placed his nail against the abdomep of the insect and whirled it around. Still it remained fixed. *“‘Youcan do it every time,” said Tom as he killed the mosquito and drew a long breath. Itis a fact. Go and try it. Something to Remember.

Weir Mitchell contributes to the August Century a profusely illus trated article on “The Poison of Ser- pents,” in which he say asked what I would do if bitten while far from help. If the wound be at the np of a finger, I should like to get rid t l)y 'some such prompt auto- L means as a knife or a possible on affords. Failing these, or while soeking help, it is wise to quarantine the poison by two ligatures drawn tight enough tu stop all circulation. The heart weakuess is made worse by emo- tion, and at this time a man may need stimulus to walk home. Assoon as pos sible some one should thoroughly infil trate the seat of the bite with permaga- nate or other of the agents above men- tioned. By working and kneading the tissues the venom and the antidote may be made to come into contact, and the former be so far destroyed. At this time it becomes needful to relax the ligatures to escape gangrene, This re- laxation of course lets some vencm into the blood-round, but 1n a few moments it is possible to again tighten she liga- tures, and again to injeot the local an- tidote. If the dose of venom be large and the distance from help great, ex- cept the knife or cautery l‘u e is 1o be done that is of value. But it is well to bear in mind that in this country a bite in the extremities rarely causes death. T have known of nine dogs having been bitten by as many snakes, and of these dogs but two died. In India there would probably have been nine dead dogs. The four H's—health, happy homes and hospiiality—fosterod by Angosiura Bitters. Sole manufacturers Dr.J. G B. Siegert & Sons.

LINCOLN HURBAU OF TiRr OMAcA Bun, 1029 P Streer, LANCOLN, August 25, The event of to-day was the dedication of the Central Christian church atthe corner of | Fourteenth and K streets. This religious temple, just completed, is one of Lincoln's magnificent church structures, rogarded by many as the finest in the city. It is built of white Milwaukee briok, corniced with the red sand stones of Colorado and Wisconsin, purely modern in architectural design and finish, and possesses an exterior both strik- ing and pleasing. The interior is cleverly designed and fashioned, and possesses all of tho modern conveniences, There is mani festly nothing lacking in its arrangem This sentence includes everything fmm kitchen to vestry. The audience room is spacious, tho corridors and gallories pro- portionate, the nclines *‘just the thing" and the furnishings in perfect kecping with an edifice builv at an expense of over 0,000 Its dimensions are immaterial. It is enough to state that the church will comfortably seat from 1,600 to 2,000 peopie. Sliding doors separate the audience and Sunduy school rooms, and they can be thrown into one by means of noiseless pulleys. The pul- pit is so arranged that speakers in position can be seen from any partof the interior fashioued for audiences. The choir gallery is at_the right of the pulpit and the baptistry at the rear, facing the west. At the entrance door to the baptistry, a birds-eye view of the city of Jerusalem can be seen, This is hand- painted and a very creditable piece of art. The groove in which the baptistry is set shows a deep blue sky overhead, and etch- inga of the stately palm and other digitate trees on the sides. But the wood work and plastered walls of the building are beauti- fully frescoed, and but few. if any, finer buildings bave been dedicated to the wor- ship of Glod in this part of the country. The day was pleasant and the church was crowded to the utmost. Every pew and chair was occupied and a largo number were compelled to stand throughout the exercises. At leasttwenty-two bundred people crowded into the church. T'he decorations were sim- ple but very pretty. A beautiful wreath adorned a stand in front of the pulpit. Choice greenhouse plants were at the right left und rear. Deft hands and good taste, arranged them, and the room presented a very inviting appearance, At the turn of tue appomted hour the chorus broke forth with the sweet notes, *Old Hundred,” and followed with “We are Hearing, we are Dwelling,” to the famillar tune of Essex. Charies B. Newman, pastor of the church then read the twenty-third psalm. Pres- ident Aylsworth, late of Fairfield college, followed with ‘an ‘ fmpressive invocation, after which the hymn ‘‘Coronation’ was announced and the vast audience joined in singing 1t Elder Newman then introduced Prof. W. F. Black, of Chicago, who preached the dedi- catory sermon. The speaker was listened to with marked atter.tion. At the close of the sermon the ehoir sang an appropriate hymn, when J. Z. Briscoe, chairman of the builling committee, re- ported upon the conditton of the building floances. The debt he announced, though reaching mto the thousands, was met then and there. The necessary funds to pay it off were pledged and promptly subscribed. F. M. Ranis, of TPopekn, Kan., delivered the closing address of the morning’'s exer- cises. [t was also timely and appropriate, At the close of the song service following Ruy. Newman pronounced the benedigtion. Praise service was held at 2 o’clock this afternoon. Prof. Black occupied the pulpit. this evening. The service was largely at- tended. The Wagner-Kelley Case. A well known attorney, who is thoroughly familiar with all the facts in the case, said to Tur Bee reporter: “I see that some of tho papers, in discussing the Wagner-Kelloy case, do 80 upon the hypothesis that Miss ‘Wagner is guilty of the crime of being a pro- curess and that the only reason that the case was dismissed was that there 18 no statute covering the case unless the Kelley girl had been actually debauched as the result of her machinations, This is wrong and does the accused an injustice, 'The genius of our in- stitutions recognize overyone as innocent untit their guilt has been firmly established. Miss Wagner 18 eutitied to this considera- tion. There is nothing in subport of the ac- cusation except the Kelley girl’s own unsup- ported stutements, and those who have scen both are much more inclined to believe Miss ‘Wagner than her. The impression created on me was that the Keiley girl had seen ten times as much of the world, and koew ten times as much of its vices, as did the other, and I find that the same impression was made on others. 1In fact I simply don’t be- lieve one word of the story put up by Annie Kelley. She bad started to run away, prob- ably to o to Denver to enter on a life of shame, and she was put off at Culbertson without money. She met some sympathetic people from Lincoln and she gulled them with her story. Doos it look reasonable that a purely inndcent gir! could be persuaded by another to make such a trip as that and for that purvose! Well, hardly. I seo also that imaginative reports tell of how Miss Wagner lured a son of a prominent fawily in this civy to Salt Lake Ciuy where she lived with him in great splendor for some time as his wife, and that this happy state of uffairs was broken up by her demand through an attorney for $2.500, * If all this bo true, why don't they give thename of the young man? Is he to be protected that he may deceive other young, iunocent and cop- fiding giris while she is to be driven into the harlot's last ditch? ~These same reports de+ scribe her as not only handsome, but very beautiful, with sweet, soft, seductive, sy- ren-like way, that could capture even an old timer and lead him from the paths of rectitude. ‘Those who tatk this rov have not een the girl.

FATHER DAMIEN, His Career as a Lepor Apostle the Re- sult of n Brother's iness. The brother of the late Father Da- mien, whose name is Auguste Pamphile de Veuster and whose home is in Lou- vain, France,sendsto the London Times an interesting account of the circum- stances in which the celebrated priest first wont to Honolulu. In the year 1863 the writer says that he himself re- ceived orders from his superior to start for Honolulu in the month of October, He was already a priest. At that time his brother, Jof Damien—Jef is the fa- miliar contract for Joseph, and was the name he always bore in the family circle—who was his junior by two yeu had still to = complete his studies and receive the priesthood, and no one dreamed of his deparvare. But it 50 happened that as the time for sailing drew near the elder brother, who writes of the events as ‘‘by God’s design,” fell sick of typhus fever in the n wh till lives, and 1l unconscious of the future epared his brother for his sac- erdotal studies by teaching him Latin, a language of which he knew nothing tiil he was close on twenty years of.age. The doctors declared that the elder brother’s going was out of the question. His passage money on a German sailing ship from Bremerhaver to Honoluluhad been puid. Jef Damien, with- g a word to any one, wrote di- rect to the superion general in Paris, asking for the place. The return post brought. the reply during the din- ner hour. The superior was so surprised and indeed annoyed at its countents that he threw the letter down on the tabla before the brother, saying: ‘‘You are very young and green, Damien, to start before receiving the priesthood.” The young brother thereupon snatched up the letter and raced away to the bed- side, where he kept waiviug it, crying out in a transport of delight, “I am go- ing in Fcur place.” Then, without waiting for dinner, he set off to say good-by to the family. ‘This was the first and most important ! step in his missionary career, but the brother adds: *‘I had later on another striking illustration of the simple earn- estness and humility of my dear broth- er’s character. Some time after he had settled down at Molokai he wrote me a long letter, describing his life among the lepers. At the request of many here I publiseed it in the French missionary journal.. Some months af- terward I eived a sharp rebuke from Damien for having done so. He added: ‘I waut to live and work here unknown to the worid.” But death has now re- leased me from the obligation of silence and Father Damien’s English admirers will perhaps be glad to learn that his letters, translated from the French and Flemish, many of them dating back to his childhood, and carefully treasured for years by our mother, who adored Jef and who diea of a broken heart when she heard he had taken the lep- rosy. will appear in an English period- ical, the Month, for July. Your read- ers may also be interested in the pro- jected Belgian memorial of my broth- er’s life and work. Committees have al- ready been formed here and in other places to collect funds for a Damien in- stitute, the object of which will be to insure a continuation of my brother's work at Molokai 1itself. Burses are to be founded ima college that shall be called by my brother's name and the ut- most care exercised in the choice of proper subjects for the glorious but most difficult task of ministering to and nurs- ing the lepers. We naturally hope that the country which sent out Joseph Da- mien de Veuster to his leper apostulate will continue to provide not unworthy su sors of his labors, who, like him, will address the stricken charges not with the formal ‘My brethren,” but as ho always loved to sny: ‘Nous untros lepreux'— We lepers.’ - Long before he contracted the malady be wrote to me: ‘That 15 a titte 1 jealous- ly claim for myself and am proud to bearit,” G.

A, Unknown Her§oes Texas Siltings: The world is full of hero worship, and many are the fortu- nate ones we honor and revere. Some won by knightly deeds on battlefield, some by splendid prowess in saving life when periled by fire or flood—by every form of during “bravery or noble effort the list is swelled. And a quick and generous appreciation is awarded all such deeds of exceptional heroism. All heroic acts, however, do not come to the light of puhll(, upm'n\nl There are unknown and unnoticed heroes and heroines in private .llc whose names ave not destined to be “sung in num- bers;” whose quiet lives flow on in un- eventful stillness. But the young man who voluntarily resigns the ambitious plans of youth, with all their vaguely splendid posui- bilities, to care for Lis aged parents, is an obligatian, perhaps, distasteul to him, seciu‘;’: his more fortunate brothers and comrades winning fortune and re- nown that might ba his, is a hero of no humble type. The girl who, putting aside her own hupr‘y reams of the fature, dedicates herlife to the care of an invalid mother or erippled sister, making their lives bright with the light she denies her own, is a heroine, though not always recognized as such. In many an obscure home the frail mother is'the heraic spirit, who meets the blows of adversity with the shield of cheerful industry. * Brave and never despairing, thaolk: ul and hopeful to others, she might have poems written of her heroism if ber station had been higher in the eyes of the world, TRUE TO HER PROMISE, A Dylng Woman Recovers Just Spite Her Husband, The chuekling and other symptoms of satisfaction led the Oxford county man to tell another story, says the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. A woman upour way was very sick,” said he. ‘‘She grew worse and worse, and the doctor finally gave her up. She had fought a good fight for life, but at last made up ber mind that she was going to die, and said her parting words to her friends, Last of all she had a talk witn her husband. ** “John,’ suid she, ‘I'm going to leave you fore ve *Yes, Mivand to said he, dropping a tea ** ‘I ain’t like some women, John.

The funeral of the mother of the famous Spanish bull-fighter, Frascuelo, which took place a day or two ago, has been quite one of the sights of Madrid, says the Pall Mall Gazette. The old lady, who passed her life in constant ety about her daring son, died while he was killing six buils in the avenn. Frascuelo worshipped her and had her buri princely state. The lead coffin, richly decorated with orna- ments of gold, w ed to the hearse by four of comrades, eight blac horses drew the char funeore, and be- hind it, together with I'rascuelo,wallied all the most famous bull-fighters of the town; 160 carriages followed, and n large crowd of persons belongiug toallclasses joined the procession.
