N ‘. s ® MIE COMMERCIAL TRAVELER, A Heavyweight Travelor Experimonts with o Thin Horse, £EORGE KRUG GROWS GENEROUS, M Bcientifically TInclined Traveler Talks on the Motions of a Riflo Ball-Ar Ships Are an Old Story. Everybody knows Harry Mantz of Henry W. King & Co., Chicago, who 1s often slandered by being mistaken for Grover Clevoland, Harry is ono of those genial, Jolky old bachelor traveling men, but is quit unfortunate in being, though com petent, dell- ». Playing baseball is exercisetoo violent for him and as some milder exertion is neces- ®ary to aid digestion, he often engages in the more fascinating pleasure of driving. So when one day last. week one of the hospitable merchants of Hot Springs asked him if he would like to take a spin h. was delighted, irst becauso of the honor and secondly be- cause ho really wanted to go. Crops are short in this part of the country this yearand it is not surprising (with no disrespect for the owner) that the horse in question was poor. ‘When Harry seated himself in the buggy it would not take s good judge of emotions to sce that his face expressed sympathy for the frail animal. Starting up town at a fair pace, they jogged along until they reached theMinnekahita hotel, but when he reached here his prido arose and he wanted to go faster while in view of tho guests, so ho reached for the whip and gave the feeble horse an invitation to proceed. The horse accepting with thanks, threw back his ears and s out tolower the record. Down the main street in front of the hotel they came tearing, He did not mind the gait where all could see him, but when past he realized his danger and thought it useless to push the horse after he had won the heat, so he reached for the lines. As he did so the buggy struck a rock throwing the driver out and leaving him in full posse- ‘esion. Now ho was frightened, for e had made Mr. King great | promises as to his spring sales. But to fin- b, tho horse waa tired of outdoor work an sought shelter by running into a_barn, still |carrying 250 pounds of his humanity. At last he was thrown out against the ground and rolled to a fence. Stunned but a moment, ho arosc, looked at tho horse, next at the buggy, then at himsclf. Seeing that he looked'all right he felt but to find he was all there. Glad he was living he walked back to the Minnckahta, sceming centent, until some one sad, “Your coat is torn.” “Too bad. Spoilt ot of my best sellers.” was all ko ‘eaid. A Traveler's Generosity. Mr. George Krug has come to reside in Omaha. He is the general agent for the Anheuser-Busch brewing association of St. Louis and is known from the Mound City to the Golden Gate. A more genial and success- ful traveler does not handle a grip. A great deal of his time, however, will now be de- voted to the management of the Omaha house, tho vacanoy having been created by lh(ls‘llumunted and unexpected death of Fritz ter. The removal of Mr. Krug to this ity is an evidence of the confidence reposed in him by the great association which he represents and which has now nearly a million dollars in- Vested in this state. ' To watch such large in- terests and at the same tine keep an eye all over the northwest requires a man of exceed- ingability. Such Mr. Krug has proven him- self to beand he {8 recognized by all who know him both in and out of his profession. Like all traveling men Mr. Krug has had a varied experience. He has been in accidents and episodes both thrilling and amusing. Some of these he delights to recall, whilo upon others he maintains modest silerice. 0 followng is one of which, however, ho will read for the first time and marvel as to where the information comes from, He was traveling in Iowa about nine months ngo, and when fifty miles from Des Moines his train was wrecked. The engineer, &n unusually young man_forhis position, was badly injured. He resided in the Capital city, where a mother and two invalid sisters were dependent on him for support. This fact becume known to the passengers who wero grouped around the wreck and two colt-water gentlemen passed round the hat- When they ncared Mr. Krug, one pulled tho other away remarking that he (Mr. Krug) was a beer man and his money would do the peor injured engineer no good. Mr. Krug heard the insulting remark and burned with indignation, He repressed his anger, however, and while he rotamed a mental photograph of the bigot, resolved to dhrluy his charity in & manner which would ~ have little of the Phorisaical order about it. Ho ac- cordingly learned where tho engineer's mother resided and when he reached the next station telegraphed her a liberal dona- tion, with the understanding that the money ‘was not to be delivered until after the poor tvoman’s son should bo brought, home. The money was delivered and_proved wel- come and serviceable indeed. The recipient after some difficulty found out who the donor was wrote the facts to his house accompany- fug them with the blessing of the widow and the injured man. Speaking of Air Ships. “When a man beginsto talk about aerial navigation, “said E. J. Pennington of Mount Carmel, I, av the Paxton yesterday, ‘“he might just as well own up that he is crazy and a fitsubjoct for the straight-jacket. It has been regarded as a pipe dream for a gook many years, yet peoplo doi't seem to be aware that it is an an accomplished fact, and has been since 1832, There was a man of the name of Gifford in England who arranged an oiled silk baloon with a lifting power suf- fciont to counterbalance the weight of a @eam engine, with boiler, coal and all, The engine weighed 300 pounds to the horse power and tho propeller was relatively small, -Yet, even with that, he made seven and one- half miles an hour. “He made two trips, and Itisa wonder the thing didn’t blow up with that hot air under the coal gas in the balloon. Well, he saw which was the right way to go about it, but he didn't bave the money and the public would have nothing to do withit. So he he went to work and made a fortune of about $1,000,000 with a steam injector, Yes, that ‘was the Gifford. He was a great man, The fellow who first had the audacity—for it was nothing less than sheer audacity—to propose to force water into a boiler against all the pressure of the steam has nerve enough not tobe dismayed by any problem. 4T saw o out today of a French machine that makes twenty-four miles an hour, but that isn't built s0as to furnish theminimun re- sistance. Now, [ and my purtaer Mr. Butler, have been working on this _thing on the quiet for the last eight years. We have a model machine 28 feet long, made of alumi- num. Gas was supplied to its engine by a hose, fi‘u\l ‘wo had it flying 18 feot from the un. mflw‘: are now bulldlng atour pulley works at Mount Carmel a machine whose bouyancy chamber is 170 feet long and 28 feet in diameter. It has 100-horse power zas engine that weighs 250 pounds. The whole machine welghs 1,350 pounds, and the full lifting power when hydrogen gas is in every com- partment is 5, unds. The plan is to have ho hydrogen gas In this aluminum eylinder counterbalance the weight of the machine, so that it practically weighs nothing. The ma- chine is then lifted up in the air h{ the ver- tical propellers until it reaches 130 feet in height, and then the propeller in front starts up. “'For the same vital energy a duck gets & speed of ninety miles an hour where a cat ots twenty. 5o we can make 200 miles an our, unless every known formula of com- puting the resistance of the air is utterly wroug." “But the cost of aluminum* “Wo will make our own at a price not ex- oeoding 10 cents & pound. As soon as this wmwachine is completed, which will be in about three weeks, we will make a trip to St. Touis wnd thence to New York.

Our machines will cost about $8,500, They will carry fifty persons. We don't want to sell mny “stock. We have got a good thing and no contributions are asked for a deserv- ing charity, ""Wehave just bought twenty-three acres of land at Mount Carmel and will ercct two buildings, 800 feet square, of brick and stone. The workmen are mow making the excava- tions." Motions of a Bullet. Howard Carr, a Chicago drummer, who is authority on shooting, gave n Bre reporter some {nteresting information yestorday on the queer actions of a bullet after 1t has been discharged from a gun, “A bullet,” he declared, "sighted for 1,000 yards has three separate and distin ot motions, and in cases where the stubby and blunt ox- press lead 18 use it has four. The fiest 1s its volocity or stralght motion of journey; the second Is the rotary motion, caused by the hore of the gun, which makes 1t plough through the afr, And the third Is tho trajoc- tory motion, or drft, attributable to the at- traction of gravity, Which torces the bullet sidoways. When the express bullet Is used it follows n line similar to the edge of a cork- screw, The latter is ascribable to the extra friction on the bottom of the ball, which is constantly lowering, ,'T had this illistrated by placing sheets of piper forty yards apart on a level, and the course of the bullet could be seen by collect- ing the papers and laying them one over the other, A ball has a very large dron when travel- ing any great distance. For instance, take 1,000 yards, The bullet, if keeping the course it originally startcd out to follow, would land a distance of over two hundred and filty-fivo fect above the bull's-eye. But it starts o drop immediately after leaving the muzzle of the gun, and at between five hundred and fifty and six hundred yards the ball is over sixty feet above tho line of the bull’s oye and a considerablo distanco below the lino of sight. At 200 yards it has de- creased in proportion, and the aim is only forty inches above the bull's-eye, but at 500 yards it is over sixteen feet. “It takes about threo seconds for a ball to travel 1,000 yards with an ordinary chargo of powper behind it. The first.second it travels 1,600 foet. In the next second it travels only three-quarters of that distance, and in the third second it travels only one-half as much as it did when leaving the muzzle, I made the claim here & short time ago that a ball made more revolutions (that 1s, its rotary motion increased in proportion to'the distance it traveled) ns it approached the target than it did in the hundred yards imme- dintely after leaving the muzzle, and 1 will explain. The friction of the atmosphere does not lessen the rotary motion as fast in pro- portion to the distance it has traveled as it does its flight through the atmosphere, conse- quently, while tn tho last hundred yards the ball is only traveling ot a rate just one-half its original speed, tho rotary motion is just as great and, having more time, makes more revolutions. Samples. All of the boys are coming home for Xmas. A Knansas farmer recently sent this rather mixed order toa merchant in the country town: “Send mn a sack of flour, five pounds of cofo, and one pound of tee. My wife gave birth to a big baby boy last night, also five pounds of corn starch, a scrow-driver, and a Ey-tmp. It wewehed ten pounds and a stiaw at.” George L. Wiley leaves tomorrow, says the Norfolk News, for Omahs, and will at once g0 on the road as a representative of the hardware house of Rector, Wilhelmy & Co., of that city. Although his territory will be in southwestern lowa and southeastern Ne- brasks, Mr. Wiley will still make his home {a Norfolk, Heis thoroughly posted on the hardware business, and will without doubt prove as good asalesman as the house has on. the road. — e Van Houten's Cocoa--Delicious, made in stantly. —— Samuel Burns has placed in his front window a ‘‘Brown Flield” set decorated dinner ware, $11.75; which three years ago was $24.00. e ANANOUNC, That nighly successful American play, “Held by the Enemy,” is announced for pro duction at the Grand for Christmas day mat- inee, continuing Christmas ana Friday even- ing. A strong company has been secured, and no pams will be spared to make the pre- sentation an effective one. ‘“Held by the Enemy” isa strong play, well filled with comedy, which draws a delicious contrast to the patriotic and sombre scenes, each being 50 interwoven with the other as to maintain @ cumulative wterest throughout. A revival of tho memories of the dark days come viv- fdly before the audience, but the conflicting interests of the blue and the gray aro so deli- cotely and impartially t.rcnwg that no feel- ings of animosity are created. It rather tends to bind the bonds of national brother- hD?ld still closer. Popular prices will pre- vail. Mr. Roland Reed, the well lmown comedian, will furnish’ the holiday amuse- ment at the Boyd this season. His success this season is the greatest of his life, and the St. Paul Pioneer Pross of last Sunday pro- nounced him tho legitimate successor of John T. Roymond. Mr. Reed opens his engage- ment Christmas afternoon in “The Woman Hater,” which he repeats in tho evening, and the bill for the remainder of the week will be his new play, “Lond Me Your Wife,” Mr. Reed appearing as Coptain Abner Tarbox, a retired sailor. Rice's “Corsair” will open at the Boyd this evening for a two night's engagoment.” “The Corsair” is ono of the most brilliant bur- lesques of the day. While it may be making a somewhat reckiess statement to say that Mr. Rice hus surpassed himself in this pro- duction, yet, in point of stage mounting and costuming, the statement would doubtless be true. Tho burlesque is richly and beauti- fully staged. Tnero aro ten scenes, and all of them are gorgeous and brilliantly effective in_ combination of colors. The no- table scones aro the slave baar, the piraste’s grotto, the gardens of the Pasha, Conrad’s ship, the Rover of the Seas; the harem, Stamboul by Moon- light, and the finale transformation scene, the Palace of Pearl. Mr. Riceis always artistic. His lrl‘un%e« ment of colors is always good, and in this in- stance exceptionally so. In the prismatic fountain scene in the pasha’s garden tbe eye fairly revels in a prodigal display of colors. Yet the harmony of the whole, which most persons comprehend, though unconsciously, perhaps, is magnificently preserved. The engagement of “I'he Corsair’’ will be one of the leading events of the present theatrical season here, ———— As Ayer's Sarsaparilla outstrips all other blood purifier in popular favor, so Ayer's Al- manac is the most universally familiar publi- cation of the kind in the world, Itis printed in ten languages and the avnual issue exceeds fourtoen millions of copies.

Among the prisoners Sherift Martin will take to the Illinols state prison dure 4ng the coming week is William Kengen, whose history is rather remarkable and which shows that his sentence of eight vears is none too helvy, writes a Chey- enne, Wyo., correspondent of the Chica~ go Tribune. Kengen is about twenty-eight. came west from Arcola, Ill, He is tall, well formed, and aoctive. When a boy in Arcola he fell in love with his cousin, Sadie White. Kengen was poor and Sadie wanted a rich husband, so she married & wealthy man named Helm, who took her to the Indian territory. He died suddenly shortly after the marriage and Sadie came back to He Arcola and married Kengen, fixin him in good shape financially with her first husband’s money, Despite this evidence of love and generosity Kengen wasnot faithful and shortly after his marringo was arrested at the {nuhmco of a young lady living in a town near Arcola. The law, however, had no ter- rors for him; he gave the officer who ar- rested him the slip, jumped on a freight train and was soon out of the jurisdic- tion of the Illinois officers. He selected Gering, Neb,, as his Plul‘o of residence, principally, he said, “because there was no law there,” The place ho selected as his home was admirably adapted to the peculiar line of business he has since followed, It was within a few lines of the Wyoming line, and it could be easily asserted thatany Wyoming cattlo found in his hord had strayed there, It was in March, 1887, that he settled in Nebraska, and in that month ho purchased a solitiry cow. It was o most wonderful cow, for in a fow months she had collected quite a family. Kengen became immediately the firm friend of a number of men who thought as ho did on the question of accumulat- ing cattle. Kengen never bought but the one cow with which he started his herd, yet in October an actual count showed he had 800 head of cattle, His manner of working was as follows: Among the cattle ranging in Wyoming just west of the Nebraska line are those belongiog to the Pratt & Ferris cattlie company, These cattle are branded with a large PF and Kengen has on rec- ord the brand BE. The cattle would go into his corrals with this brand on them, ‘When they appeared again on the range this was their brand, BE, Another of his orded brandsis a3, PR ecattle sometimos came out of his corral changed to The Swan land and cattle company brand is two bars—thus: Kengen has a brand known as the pig pen brand, which looks like this: Many of his cattle branded with this pig pen brand look very strange. The Sl are fresh, while the horizontal ones are old. In fact, the brands on his cattle show signs of hav- ing been raised or altered. So bold were Kengen and his band of followers be- coming that Wyoming stockmen were obllgefi to combine to capture him. Knowing that any legal efforts made to unish him in his own county would be utile, alittle squad of officers went after him from Wyoming. He was taken by surprise and driven at the pointof arifle across the Wyoming line where a war- rant was obtained and he was soon lodged in jail, Kinch McKinney was arrested shortly after Kengen was kidnaped, .and is awaiting trial in this county. Both men are looked upon as desperate characters and are closely guarded in joil. A novel plea was made in Kengen's caso by his counsel, It was that the proceedings against him were irregular, inasmuch as under the con- stitution of Wyoming females are ac- corded the same political rights and du- ties as males, and it was urged that fe- males should have been drawn upon the grand jury. The plea was overruled, but Kengen will take the matter to higher courts. Both Kengen and MoKinney have plenty of money, and will make a desper- ate legal fight to escape the clutches of the law, Confirmed The favorablo fmpression produced au the first appearance of the agreecable liquid fruit remedy Syrup of Figsa few years ago has been more than confirmed by the pleasant ex- perience of all who have used it, and tho suc- cess of the proprictors and manufacturers the California Fig Syrup company.

A CHRISTHAS CURE, p e A STORY OF THE SRBASON FOR SMALL BOYS, Emilie Poulsson «in December St. Nicholas: Santa Claus sat by the fire in his own home, lpoking very much troubled. Santa Claus sat there thinking—think- ing, It was just “before Christmas. ‘What was the matter with the good, jolly old saint? Has his sleigh broken down? Had any of his reindeer got loose? But no,—it was none of these things. Couldn't’ he find toys enough to go round? Bless your dear little anxions heart, don’t you be afraid of that! Santa Claus had toys enough. That wasn't the trouble! One stocking there was for which Santa Claus had not yet planned a single thing; and that was why poor dear old Santa Claus was in such a state of worry and anxiety. This stocking belonged to a little boy whose good parents had long before Christmas sent in his name to Santa Claus, But although there had been plenty of time, and Santa Claus had put plenty of thought upon the matter, he had not yet been able to decide upon one thing for thatlittle boy's stock- ing. ‘};Jurhn it scems strange to you that Santa should be puzzled about such a thing as that, when filling stockings is his regular profession, but the little hoy to whom that stocking belonged was o very strange and unusual child. What- ever was given to him he would either break to pieces very soon or do some naughty mischief with, Yet kind old Santa could not boar to leave even this stocking empty. So he had been puzzing his brains to find something with which the little hoy could not hurt people, and gomething he could not break; and although he had been thinking over all his lists of toys and presents, nothing had he found yet! “Chirp! Chirp!” sounded a sharp "lit- tle voice, ‘‘Youmay s well giveup. Hoe doesn’t deserve anything, the nule scamp.” “Ohl Is that you, Cricket?” sid Santa. **Come up he and as he held outhis fat forefinger atiny black cricket reached it with a sudden jump, O “You may as well give it up!” creaked the cricket. ‘“You can't think of any- thing.” “I know, I know;"” said Santa. ‘“No! I can’t give him the donkey!—nor any other of those fine lit- tle animals that wo have this year. Ihad thought of a nice little hammer and_ box of nails, and some blocks of wood for him to hammer the nails into! Hey, now! what do you think of that?” “Whatdo I think?" said the cricket, ‘I think, Saint Nicholus, that you have forgotten how the little boy beat his brother with his drumsticks; how he snipped his sister’s fingers with the scissors; how he threw his harmonicon at the nurse; how he—" “Dear, dear, dear!” groaned Santa, *‘s0 he did, so he did!” “And if you keep giving him things when he uSes them so wrongly,” contin- ued the crickpt, “how will lic over learn better? To besure, his mamma and papa and all his kind friends are tryiag to teach him, but it is necessary thatevery- bogy should help to train such a boy as “I know,” intérrupted Santa, “I know.” You're a wise little counselor, and not as hard-hearted as you seem. And if you think it will cure the poor little fellow, I suppose we must give hixm tho sawdust this year.” ‘Yes,” said the ericket solemnly, “‘sawdust it must be.? Christmas morning.came, The little boy whose name Santa Clausdid not wish mentioned, saw all the other child- ren pull out one treasure after another from their long, well-stuffed stockings, while in his own, which he had hung up with 80 much hope the night before, there was nothing but sawdust! If T should use all the sad woras inthe English language I could never tell you how sad that littlo boy was as ho poured the sawdust out of his stocking and found that Santa Clause had really sent him nothing else. Poor littls chap! It was almost a year later, just beforo Christmas, wheon Santa Claus again sat by his fire—thinking. But this time he was in no trouble;no, indeed, not he! He was rounder and rosier and jollier than ever before; and how he was smiling and chuckling to himseifl His eyes twinkled so and were so very bright that you could almost have lita candle at them. Heand the cricket had been planning all sorts of ecstatic surprises for the stocking of the boy to whom they had given sawdust the ear before; for, if you can believe it,the ittle boy had been trying all the year to be careful and gentle, and he was really quite changed! “Sawdust is a grand thing,” chirped the cricket, leaping about in delight, “Yes, but I am glad we do not need to use it this year,” replied Santa, “Let me see the list again. Don’t you suppose we could cram in one or two more things? Have you put down the —" This is the end of the story; or, at least, all that could be told before Christmas; for if I should write more and a certain little boy should read it, he would know just what would be in his stocking and that would never do in the world. ——— Uncle Sam's Oldest Employe.
