’ THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELER. A Plea for Merchants in the Drouth Stricken Distriots, 'WHERE SUPPLIES SHOULD BE PURCHASED, Why Bome Farmers Are Dissatisfied with Their Town—Rev. Frank Gunsaulus and His Red Necktie, Hastixas, Neb, Jan. M.—To the Editor of Wi Bre: The following taken from the re- yort of the committeo appointed to draft a bill for the relief of western sufferers, calls forth the subsequent remarks to which I trust you will give your eareful attention. The committee favored an appropriation of not less than $100,000, goods to be purchased of Lincoln and Omaha wholesale houses, Now while wo see the leislature intend tloing a noble work in assisting the western sufferors —who are sufferers indeed —they are overlooking one class of people who need ail as much as anyone else, namely, the me chants, Merchants as a rule bought largely of winter goods in anticipation of a hai winter. As wo have been agrocably disap- pointed by the weather being unseasonably fine the merchants have on hand a full stock of winter zoods, which they can ill afford to carry and which they would eladly sell at cost” to obtain money to meet their bills, Merchants are failing almost daily in drouth-stricken country, being unable to . mcet their bills on account of having to carry these voods, Now I would suggest that the money be sent to good men who are on and can placo It needed the most, goods from the home merchunts instead of Lincoln and Omaba Jobbers, Those jobbers would get theirshare, ust the same, by recelving the money from he merchants on past due bills and thus have a tendency to strengthen the credit of western merchants with the jobbing housos they are dealing with, It is well known that a portion of the donations already sent out have fallen into hands for which they were never intended. One case, in particular, was brought to my notico this week, whero a cer- tain man who is holding about three Hundred bushels of wheat for higher pri ot the Jion’s share of a lot that had been re d at the town near which he resides. Let tho legislature make this money do all the good it can by putting itin the largest circulation ossible, thus benefiting not only the farmers of people and give these mer- o carried these same farmers year after year a chance to weather through what is bound to be a dull season. Eiseman & Co. of Council Bluffs attributa their failuro to the warm winter and inability to sell heavy &oods which ad to be carried in stock. The western merchants are in the same fix in re- ard to stocks of beavy goods. Is the result 10 be the same! The legislature can assist them by following the foregoing suggestion. Will they do itt This is no idle talk. I have traveled” in this country several years and know whercof I speak. A TRAVELING MAN. buying the A A Promising Opening. Stockuwam, Neb,, Jan, 24.—To the Editor of Tue Bere: Now and then during my travols, being a drummer, I in sympathy and Justice write a few words to leading news- papers of our commonwenlth, and if you decm this worthy of issue in your esteemed paper, (not that it will in any way directly or indirectly bencfit your most humble of humble self-appointed scribes), it will meot with hearty approval froma large body of farmers from this part of the state, whicn is second to ro state for its many advantages of health, prosperity and happiness. Iam av presont in one of the finest farming sections ~Stockham, Hamilton county, Neb. ~ This town of a few hundred inhabitants, about three years old, twenty-five miles east of Jlastings, on the Fremont, Elk- horn’ & Missourl Valley railroad, 8 moro than pleasantly located, surrounded by the finest class of farmers in the state, most all of whom aroon the road to prosperity, if not already comfortably well h ed, 8 good indication beigg that not- witustanding the hard time here are a fow farms for sale, unless at a higher rico than asked last year. With all the fin arms surrounding this neat looking towu there are reasous why the good farmers are not in lova with their town, which I will now explain. Stockham has two hotels, two banks, one nardware and bakery, two groceries, two gene me two wadise stores, two grain elevators, one lumber yard, a high'school and othor minor business places found in any small town, What I wish to call attention to i the two genoral merchandise stores. Oro 1s small with linited capital. The other is a medium stock for a town of this size. The party having tho largest stock charges uuneard of prices, but sells to Tom, Dick and Harry on time. Some time ago a cheap John store tried its fortuues hore, and had inmense sales, until this store offered goods at cost for cash, p John ples, or in until iv froze out Cheap John. As Ch did not have the staying other words tho capital, and was not ac- quainted. Now they have the same ruinous prices, which almost forces farmers in sight of Stockham Lo go twelve miles or further for this class of goods. How many of our fair Nebraska towus are in a like deadening situ- ation! There aro worse things under the sun than interest, railroads and taxes, and it is gi as a fact that the business men of this town «entreated this varty to reduce his prices to reasou, and the reply was, ‘1 bave gota ciuch and I know how to keep it.” 1 am nota general merchandise drummor, and so have no personal ill will, but write this in behalf of Stookhaw and justice. Any firminvesting ,000 or $10,000 in this line of 0ods, locating there, could not fail to do a arge business, as the country can support town ten times the size of Stockham, Stockham wants steady, solid busines men, and then it will maze one of the best busitess towns in the state. Should this be worthy your attention, I may write again, ouly on a different subject. S.A.C. Dr. Gunsaulus's Neoktie, Rov. Doctor F. W. Gunsaulus had an inter- psting experience outin Arizona last sum- mer. It will bear narrating. It seoms that @ triend in London, aware of the reverend entlemen’s fondnoss for vivid color, sent ’mu.r Gunsaulus & bright red necktie. here is 1o other red necktie in the world rin, 7 quito as red as a British red necktie; 1t is tbe consummation, the apotheosis of redness. ‘When Doctor Gunsaulus clapped his eyes on that red nocktio ho was duzzled—nay, he was stunned—by its terrifiosplendor. As quickly ms he could he put it away. “I must not wear it,” said ho to himself. *It is too wicked for this part of the world. 1 will re- soerve it for Arizona.” 1t is true that Dr, Gunsaulus had 165 acres of wheat out in Arizona that needed looking after, but it is more than likely that an am- ‘bition to wear that new, splendid red necktie {nspired in Dr. Gunsaulus a ceaseless yearn- ing w go west. Atany rate he went, accom- panied by his son, a little fellow ten or twelve years of ago. ‘To such as have never seen Dr. Gunsaulus decked in that array which he affects when {nspeoting wheat or hunting rare bibliomanac finds in Arizona we will say that this costume is strange to the degree of weirdness: its most conspicuous feature is a black felt hat ‘with an enormous flexible brim, An especial flavor of spice—of wickedness, if you please —was given to this costume by the superb red necktie. To be candid, Dr. Gunsaulus, attirod for Arizona, looked 'very like one of ’ thoso far western characters of which Bret . Harte loves to treat. Now it happeneda that Dr. Gunsaulus trav- eled on & free pass—a freo pass obtained through the kindly ofices of one of the in- juential lambs of his flock. This free pass a8 made continuous all the way from Chi- cago to Arizona and back again, It fell clearly within the lines of the interstate com- Juerce act, for it was inade out to the account < of (and was to be paid in) advertising. This free pass worked all right until Dr, Gunsaulus struck the Sante Fe' country, It Avas then thata coarse, unteeling, one-eyed "W, Aonductor came through the traln collecting tickets at the point of a murderous lookiag horse pistol. Hie hud been shoriff of a county in New Mexico, and was a Thing of Blood. “Tickets I demanded this fierco monster. Dr. Qunsaulus mildly produced his free pass. The conductor read the free pass. The unhallowed fire of skepticism illumined bis cyclopean optic. “Wat's yer name!” asked tne conductor. “The Rev. F. W. Gunsaulus,” answered the holy man. The conductor took as rapid a view of Dr. nsaulus as his one eye would admit of, Vo, yer don’'t!" exclaimed the conductor, brutally, “Yer don't piay that game on me! Yer no preacher.” “Indeed 1 am, anda very good preacher, t00," romonstrated Dr, Gunsaulus, “Come, now,” sald” the conductor, “it's no use of yer tryin 1 come any monkey business with me; I reckon I know # dominie when [ see him. Yer'll have to put up yer good money or get off'n the train ! There seemed to be no alternative. Dr. Gunsautus lookgd out of the car window; 1t would never dofor him to be set down in that desert of cactuses and prairie dogs, He sought to reason with the conductor; every ¢ift, every power, every artifice of eloguence at his command he brought to bear on the callous creature, hut all in vain. In vain also the reverend gentleman’s little boy plaint- ively but stoutly maintain ~that “papa was a minister;”fthe unregenerate heart of the con- ductor was not to be moved, “No dominy ever wore a necktio lixe that," said the conductor. “Yer'll have to put up the stuff or git off'n the train,” Dr. Gunsaulus did put up, but not until ne had secured a receipt therefor from the one. eyed skeptio. The next three hours were hours of misery, for not even so long-suffer- ing and so patienta clergyman as Dr. Gun- saulus cares to be separated from his worldiy possessions by the unfeeling agent of a soul- less railway corporation. But about a hun- dred miles furtherdown the road the mayor of o boarded the train, and he was hap- pily able to identify Dr. Gunsaulus as being indeed entitled to all the perquisites and courtesies fnvolved in and eatailed by that froe pass. So tho one-eyed couductor dis- gorged the money and made an apology s best he could. “I've been livin' out here now for goin’ on twenty-threo years,” said he, *‘and 'vo seen every kind of human bein' from bonanza kings down to three-card monte sharks, but I nover seen @ preacher with a red necktie afore!
