r A} THE OM. iIA DAILY BEE, MONDAY, DECEMBER 1. 1890, THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELER. CGeorge Rudio at Once and Forever Estab~ lishes His Right to the Title of Uolonel, BEARDING THEBEARDLESS GHOST DANCER. HKancas and Towa Drumniers in Con- vention—Tackled the Wrong A HairLifting Episode. There bave been grave doubts expressed on the guiet asto the right and title which George Rudio, the soap man, had to be called $colonel.” All doubt is now settled, as evi- @enced by the following letter received from the doughty George, written from Rushvilie, Neb, “Iarrived here safely with my friend, John Stork, of Stewart Brothers. After we got rested we started out to witness the ghost dance. We had to get permission to piss through the lines, and secured a guide. With my usual good luck I struck sorme friendly Indians, by one of whom I was yecognized, havitg met lim when he was at Mauawa. He was none other than “Rocks,” who participated in the grand pow-wow that Dr. Bellinger and 1 had at Man- Awa a year ago last Fourth of July. 1 feel safe after renewing acquaint- ance with him, but I found that he felt alit- tio sore at the doctor on account of not ge! tiog the greased pig after he had faily caught it. The doctor had decided that Rocks had fouled the pig, and called it a araw. Iocks couldn't quite forgive the med- scal umpire for this decision, and it was not until I had pacificd him by a cake of soap that he acted very geod naturedly, General 3rooke kindly furnished John and me wita Winchesters and mules, on the strength of the assurance we gave him that we had lng experience with Ind iaily at Man- fiwa, and believed that 'wo could stop the ghost dunce. When we arrived at camp 1 was immediately recognized by “Fge.’ the chicf of the Kickapoos, to which tribe Rocks belonged, and was given assurance we would not be' molested, We watcled the dance forawhile. The description of the host dance, as given by the papers, is noth- ng to what 'we saw, The endurance shown is wonderful, I commenced distributing soap among them, and they would stop dancing to Took ot it and talk about it. It was a mys- tery to them and they didn't know what to dowithit. By theaid of Rocks I explained to them that they should goto their tepees aud boil it, and then drink the soup, for it would make them so that they would seethe happy hunting ground as they never saw it even in their trances. They scattered, each Wwitli a bar of soap, and the dunce thus ‘being broken up, John and T returned about twenty niles over the hills to where General Brooke vas. He thanked us most heartily for stop- ping the dance, and promised to recommend the secretary of war to have us commissioned as real coloniels, If the dance is resumed it 4s because the effect of the soap soup has svorn away, and it is no fault of ours.”” ifting Episcde, “It is & sad story,” saidan old railroad gnan, as he coughed two or three times. The group of traveling men who had been hilari- ously telling some funny expericnces a few moments before quicted down “I was runnin’ old 142, he continued, “and Bill Sikes—you all kuow Bill—was firin’. We was takin’ the fiyer west and had orders to run clean through, *less we were signalled. 1 think the roadmaster was aboard, and we all knew that it weshould pull up witnout a Tattlin® good reason he'd be after us, “We was runnin’ almost full head, T guess, Lor I know the breeze just hummed when I Jogged the cab windera little. The old en- ine rocked just like as ifit was on the briny oop, only faster. Well, we was goin’ lickety split up through the northern part of that town that used to stand by the bend. Bill was shovelin’ coal like a good one and T gave tho whistle a tootnow and then tolet folks know wo was comin’. “As T was sayin’, boys, we was just scootin’; goin’ round the curve, too. Just then I cist my oyes as far up the track as I ould sce, and right then Isaw something hat brought my heart right up 1 my mouth. X shook al! over. Bill saw tho thing as soon 8s 1 did, and Bill's eyes bulged and his hair — _gtood vight up, “Lhere was something on the track, T could just see a littlo white sun bunnt and a caliker dress, and a littlo red ribbon peekin’ out from a bunch of as pretty golden curls as I ever sce. The old man stopped. e swallowed ya number of times and drew hi palm across his eyes. Thne group of isteners only moved for alittie and held heir breath, “I couldn’t stop, boys. It was nouse. The fiyer was heavy, and we was goin’ nearl cm_v anhour. When 1got strength enongh 0 push in that throttle and slap on the air— d struck. We stopped. Bill and me gumped out, shuddered us we did." The group of listeners turned away sick at Teart. The old engineer wenton: T pieked up a wig of golden hair, and Bill twoor three picces of straw and an old sun bonnet. “Just \h(-nngun{eof ragged imps stuck their heads from behind an old barn and howled: ‘Did you ever, ever, ever get left! The group who had listened in horror to the old engincer's sad story looked tired and faded uway. Kansas Drummers. The semiannual meetingof the Kansas raveling Men’s association was held at Con- kordia last week and was largely attended by xepresentatives of the grip. At the business meecting Saturday, there ‘was considerable business of interest to the traveling men transacted, mostly, however, of a routine chavacter. Among other things, $twas decided to appint a committee of ree on each of the main lines of railways in ansas to solicit membership for the associa- tion. At present the membership numbers pbout three hundred, and is continually in- ereasing. Itis configently belioved thatthis “mumber can easily be increased in a few Fuonths to five hunired, The matter of forminga national federation avas a subject that attracted much interest, It is proposed to vite the various traveling u's assoclations of the United States nto a national organization, thus mak- ng more effective the efforts toward needed legislation by congress, ote. It is stated hat there arc in the United States something sike two hundred and fifty thousand travel- fug men, whose union iuto a national organi- gation, it must be confessed, would form a decidedly strong federation, and e whose united efforts in any given direction could ot be other thau powerful. This proposed federation will not effect the individual state organizations or others of a local character, but will simply bea union that will back all demands for legislation by the voices of the traveling wen of the entire country. This yoice will be used always to good advantage, and never tothe detriment of local or state organizations. A vote of thanks was tondered Senator P, .

Noth- ingris more appropriate, and nothing more appreciated by the customer, than a New Year announcement, Anticipating the demand for these an- nouncements, Dan €. Shelley, superior prin- ter, cornerof Fourteenth and Farnamstreets, Omaha, has arranged for alineof cards, com= prising fifty beautiful designs, including en- velopes for mailing. It is advisable to call carly and make selections before the most elegant patterns are exhausted, After De- cember 15 it may beimpassibleto secure the design you want. Neatness and taste in priuting, and the lowest prices consistent with the pattern selected, are guaranteed. Tackled the Wrong Man, Two “‘bad men from Bitter creek’ went to the Ryan, St. Paul,a day or two sgo, and registered as Dr. Engle, Fort Smith, Ark., and W. I, Conkly, San Antonlo, Tex. The doctor was anelderly gentleman of quaint, old-fushioned manners, who had & pleasint, casy way with him, calculated to ingratiste himself into the good gracesof almost any one. His partner was & younger and rougher- looking man, who had the general appear- ance of being adead gamesport, Tine hung rather heavilyon their hands and theyin- viteda couple of drummers togo up to their room for a quliet game of cinch, After playing cinch for a short time, a penny ante edition of the national game was proposed, and the doctor produced a box of penunies touse for chips. Things moved alng smoothly untilone of the drummenrsran into the doctortwoor three times and found every time that the medical man from Arkansaw was loaded for bear, Theclimax came when the other drummer gathered up bis cards after tnedeal and found himself sitting be- hinda spade flish with a typewriter at the ceful smile of confldencehovored as he declined to be helped to d he announcea his fntention to with the air of & man who has a month’s board paid in advance and credit at a landry, The gentleman from Arkausaw ted for amoment and finally decided to lraving two cards, Thegentleman from w opened tho with1 cent **just to show thatthere were no hard feelings 3" his aised it cents ond the drummer Sy he gailly saw both bets and raised them$1.50.

The winners hired a lawyer and were going to fight the case, when a proposition to settle was made and accepted. The doctor took out a roll of bills about the sizeof aloaf of bread, and the drummers breathed once moreas he handed them the amounts that he had won from them. Then another verdant knight of the grip came up and meekly intimated thathe wonld like that $10 which he had donated to thedoe- tor down in Cedar Rapids the other day, but the doctor intimated that thers had been so much vrouble lately about interstite com- merce affairs ad original package cases that he did not feel like takingthe chances of selling anJowa claim in Minesota, Attor- ney 0° Reilly dismissed the caseaftertheslick strangers hrd paid the costs, and thenthe doctor turned to Mr, Waite, who was pres- ent, representing the hotel, and said: oe here, Iwant youto dome afavor, T meandering around this wicked a year and s o ple who know me give me 2 seuse enoigh to go in when it riuns, but they tlatter me, Any man as old as[am who plays poker with children ought to have a guardian appointed, Please kick me.” Later on they returned to the Ryan, ana after paying their bill and expressing their regrets for the unpleasantness, thoy sought another abiding place to walt for the con- genial atmosphere of Derby day.

Mis Connection with B'nal B'rith, His Services to His Country and to the Cause of Re- ligion, Yesterday aftornoon memerial service for the late departed Benjamin . Peixotto were held in the Temple of isracl, on Harney street near Twenty-fourth. There was a largeattendance, among which were many members of theorder of B'nai B'rith, unaer whose auspices the services were held. A delegation of members of the order were in atfendance from Lincoln. Tho exercises were opened by Rabbi Rose- nau with the following prayer *‘Eternal Good and Father : To show honor to asainted soul, wo dedicato this solemn hour, 'While with us hero on earth below, it was brilliant, with the noblest traits, as crown 1s, when studded with most precious goms, Its highly developed moral side ele- vatedit to true greatness, its highly ma- tured intellectual part invested it with true royalty. From thisour purpsed contempla- tionof it, we expet to learn more thor- oughly our duty to improve our own _hearts and minds, so that we too may stand forth conspicuously a3 noble men and women when death will callus hence unto another life, Recognizing how cmscientiously Benjamin . Peixotto has lived, we turnin prayer unto Thee, mercifuland loving Pather, asking Thee to grant unto his doparted soul that rest, tranquility and peace, in store for the righteousin the realms of immortality. Ap- preciating the loss his family and many a member of tho huwanity has sustained by his dernise, welay beforeheo our petition, begging Theeo to furnish unto those who weep aud murnur the healing balm of con- solation by making them understand more clearly the truth that the grave ends not all, but forms only the portal leading to a more ImYpy il blessed oxistence, Amen.

He stated thathe had kuown him man, s ago when a boy in Cleveland andwhen hewas later sent as consul to Roumania, and later still when he was appinted consul to Lyons, France. He also spoke of him as a man who was greatly interested and who labored well m the campigns of Lincoln, Grant and and Hayes. He cosed with a culogy of theman's exceeding ability and uprightness in bis public aa private life. Rabbi Roseneau then delivered the follow- ing address Itis Sunday morning, September 21, in the metropolis of our country. Silent are the wheels of industry. The sacred stillness thatreigus supreméadds to the solemnty of theall-engaging oceasion. A funerl cortege moves slowly and dolefully along a main thoroughfare, making its “way to beautiful Cypress Hill cemetery.

The person towbom wereferis the deceased Benjamin Franklin Peixotto. What he did as high dignitary of the secretorder of B'nai’ Brrith, how praiseworthy hiscareer was as representativeof our country, has aiready been told to you. [t remmns for me yet to stato the work he did for the promotion of re- Ligion. Muchof the honor conferred upon him, may haye been bestowed, and many of those present may have attended because of his former high “position in the aforemen- tioned lodge and our government, yet Iwould venture to assert that most, if notall, of the honor, and most, if not all, of those present, wero called forth because of his accomplish- ments inreligon, if by the term religion is understood tho nobility of the practical life ofman and his ifludice asan example to other men. In the profession of law, which he followed, he always maifested such an unsurpassablo spirit of honesty, that he adhered faithfully to one of the first principles of the universally accepted religion. In the discharge of his duties as official of our mation in_foreign lands, he evinced such faultloss conscientious- ness that he carried outa secnd principle of tho universally accepted religion. In the encouragoment, comnsel and help ho extended to the dejected, despondent aud needy, with- outany regard to croed, nationality or race, he reveded such unsurpassable sy mpathy that he obeyed a third principle of ‘the uni- versally accepted roligion. In the welfave of the Sanitary Aid society of New York, that looks to thé promotion of health and the pro- Longation of life, ho displayed such peerless enthusiasm that he practiced a fourth prin- ciple of tha umversally accepted religion, And so we could cite one instince after another to prove that he was the ideal man, as far a5 we could expect anyme to be, ever cogaged in something that would result either iu his own spiritual elevation or in the public weal, As great s ho was a humanitarian, so great was ho also a Jew. Every single in- Junction which his father imposed upon_him he executed with willingness and zeal. Like patriarch, prophet and sage of old, helabored for the promulgation and preservation of his creed. He devised judiclous plans for the manage- ment of the Bnai B'rith that looks to the pro- tection of the wifeand children of a deceased brotner, Heassisted in the establishment of the Cleveland orphan asylun, that offers shelter, care and love to tho homeless and friendless orphan. He hastened to therescue of his oppressed people n Roumania, gaining for them, through his indefatiguable efforts, civil and weligious liberty. He gave his unlimited support to the Hebrew techical in- stitute that helps in tho practical education of the youngmen and women of our faith, Heedited a literary magazine by means of which he disseminated far and wide a knowl- edge of the lofty truths preserved by Isracl foragesund of “the literature itowns. He was @ very active member of & congregation thus helping i the maintenanee of an insti- tution devoted to the promotion of our ration- al and liberal faith, Benjamin F, Peixottowas kind, sympathet- ic, charitavle; Renjamin F, Peixotlo was ambitious, inwlligent, learned, and thus ful- filled his mission both as man and Jew. Descended froma grand father who was a preacher, and from a father who was a pt sician, ho seens to haveinherited a proneness to look to the highest ideals, to self-improve- ment and the amelioration of other’s condi- tions. He isno more in body. He exists now only in spirit. His memory let us hal- 1ow. Him letus place up as our paragon. The following resolutions were introduced by Mr. 8. Katz and unanimously sdopted.

The History of Miss Margaret Water= man's Tame Buck, Miss Margaret Waterman is a country maiden of twenty-two summers. She i the rosy-checked daughter of Clarence L. Waterman, whose farm land extends over that portion of the hills of Sullivan county knownas Jackson Hol- low, a Hareishurg, Pa., special to the N York Times. Margaret teaches the distriet school, and ull her scholars greatly admire her,not so much because she has a handsome face, but because she possesses a churming disposition and is pleasing in her way Tywo years ago, while this fair country maiden was on her way to the school house she caught a fawn, It was alovely young deer, and Miss Watern heart went out to the animal. She carried it toschool and laid it down by theside of the stove. At noon one of the scholars brought some milk, and the fawn was fed with all the tendcrness shown to a child. Prompted bya fancy for the great poet,she named her young captive Byron. The young buck thrived under the ten- der cave of Margaret, and today it fondly attached to the country school- marm, Byron is the young lady's e stant com i His love for his tress is as great as wis the proverl littlelamb's that followed Mary. Byron goes with Margaret to school and browses on the hillside near by and rests in the woodland uatil school closes, when ho canters from his place of abode and bounds to the side of Miss Watermun, icks her hands, and'walks homs with her, his proud and prancing actions clearly demonstrating o joy it affords him. - - PetByron has no fear of dogs. In fact, when he is around the canines give him full sway. Otherwise he would give them a clip with his sharp hoofs. He has sent mwany a poor dog away yelping with pain. Once upon a time Byron was 1y wounded by ahunter’s bullet. Mar- garet, however, nursed him backto good health. The girl was much distressed over the nccident, and there are muny people in that locality who say that the accident caused an rangement be- tween her and her sweetheart, the sonof aneighboring farmer, whom she accused of attempting to take the life of her pet buck. However correct this version may be, it is a fact that about the time Byron was wounded Margaret and her beauhad aquarrel, Miss Waterman finds it necessary to shut her pet in a pen at times—when she goes to a neighboring village. During her absence the animal is unhappy and forlorn. Upon herreturn he bleats with joy, licks her hands and romps about as though he had been imprisoned for a month.

He repaired with it toa hill of large red ants which he had passed on his tramp a short time before, In the middle of the hill he deposited the tarantula, releasing it from its imprisonment. It wasrather a chilly y, and but fow ants were out of their holes. But these few gathered around the stranger, looked at it closely for a brief moment, and then, one by one, the different small holes within which were their domiciles, The tarantula meanwhile was motionless, occasionally blinking 1ts small, sharp oyes, but not deigning to glance upon the small insects, But presently came forth the ants in a body. Although the tale-bearers had tered the hill by ditYerent holes, the w riors all issued from the same one, F came a large ant, and then the others so closely upon the heels of ench other that the line looked like a blood-red string. The sideof the tarantula was about four inches from where the ants issued from the come, and they mado straight for the cnemy with- out loss of time, The large one in the lead pounced upon one of the furry legs, and the others got their teeth in as near by us possible. There scemed to be an alimegt unendin ing of the ants, ana, in aminute anda half, the entire body of their victim was covered with them, After that the tarantula did not move a limbh scarcely. irst it attempted to pull aw *ked by the ants, but finding it fastened it shoved along with the disengaged legs, moving per- haps an inch and a half: but the re- mainderof its body was soon covered with the insects, whch devoted part of their force to holding the victim in place. The tarantula only killed three of the ants. These three ventured with- in the reach of the jaws of the tarantula, which closed its mouth with a snap, end- ing their existence instanter.

Then the ants removed the corpse. It was a heavy body to move, but they ac- complinhed it. On the rather flat top pull was hard and long, but on the incline it was easier, Av rived at the foot, the ants deserted the corpse and retirned to their homes, some entering the holes, others resum- ing the work they had been interrupted it when the tarantuls came among them. - - Van Houten's (Cocod-Delicions, made in stantly. — - The Fashionable Handkerchief.
