THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: IMONDAY APRIL 20, 1891 ONE TRAGEDY OF THE WIRES. How an Operator Tried to Tell That He Had Been Murdered. WHO STOLE THE OPIUM FROM PHELPS, Big Consignment of the Drug That Disappeared at San Francisco— Hunter's Paradise—Other Northwest News, A half-unconscio or, with his skull erushed and the blood pouriug from several gaping wounds, vainly cudeavoring to tell his comrades on the wiro of the fate that had befatlen bim e'er death's rattlo cut short his life. Such was the picture at the Southern Pacific telegraph station, Los Angeles, Cal. “Is be drunk?” asked an operator, s the instrument sounded a jargon, Attempts to eall the operator to his key failed, T fntelligible click of the fustruments ¢ J. A. Seiffert, the overator, was unconscious &t his key, His vitality had ebbed away, &0d nouo of the boys on the line kuew that the rattle of the instruments was the vain endcavor of a dying man to_tell his fellow workers of his cowardly and brutal murder, It is probable that the incohierent dots and dashes may never be trans the circum- stances of the terrible deed never be ex- lained. but not a mau on that wire will ever orget the hero who attempted, in the shadow of death, to toll of the re of bis oftic: and the flendish assault upon the dofenseless telographer. When discovered he was dead and the oftice had beon robbed of a few dol- lars by burglars, s oper An Opium Steal, Collector Phelps has instituted a closein vestigation Into the disappearance of a qu tity of opium. The Pacific Mail steamer Oceanic arrived here and amoug her cargo were twenty cases of opium, containing sbout cight hundred and twenty pounds of the drug, and valued at $16,400. K pound of imported opium undergoes a thor- ough examination in the appraiser's depart- ment. There the cascs were taken and placed in the opium room, says the San Fran- cisco Upper Alta, While overhauling the invoice Monday one of the examiners had his suspicions aroused by the appearance of one of the boxes. It looked as if 1.t bad boen opened. The case ‘was opened and found atain four largo tins, each the size of un oil can, supposed to have each ten pounds of opium, but not an ounce of the drug was in them, The tins wore filled with fine oil, wiich took the place of opium valued at about #1,000, The matter was reported to the authorities. Either the cargo was broached or tho case been tampered with in the appraiser’s build- ing. If the deed was done during the voy age of the Oceanic the Pacific Mail company would be responsible for the loss and the government would lose about £500 in duties, Paradis, Pacific county is & parad Down in the Nasel valley two fine antelove were recently killea not irom & sottle- ment, and several large herds are known to bein the neighborhood, the Olympia, ‘Wash., Tribune.

THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELER. A Joking Drummer's Experiencs with a Bouthern Quarantine Officer, HE HAD BEEN IN THE FEVER DISTRICTS, Pity the Boys on the Road—Heard at th els—Some Superstitious Weaknesses—Complaint Against Pullman. “Tt is dificult for a rortherner to appreci ate the terror that a rumor of yellow fever creates amoug the residents of the south,” sald a commercial traveler recently, ““The last time I was 10 the south,” he con- tinued, “‘there were a fow supposed cases of the disease in Pensacola, Fla. It was several years ago. In order to pro- tect their cities from a visitation of the plague the cities of New Orleans and Mobilo established a severe quarautine against peo- ple coming from Pensacola. “I was leaving New Orleans with several commercial men, among whom was @ great, big, jolly practical joker, a typical commer- clal traveler, who reprosented a Troy shirt and collar manufacturer. He was a man well on toward middle life. “As the Louisville & Nashville train drow nearer to'™Mobile and had passed the only available connecting point with Pensacola it was boarded by a quarantine officer. ‘‘He was a thoroughbred southerner, a man whom you would instinctively call ‘colonel’ whether you knew he bore the customary southern titlo or not, “He went through the cars, questioning ch passenger upon where he bad come from, and particularly if ho had been any- where near Pensacola. Finaily he reachéd the Trojan traveler, € ‘Have you been to Pensacola?’ he said. ““The Trojan hesitated for a moment and then replied, ‘Yes, colonel. I won't lieabout it. Ihave been to Pensacola.’ His com- anious looked at the man in amazemont, the colonel jumped about a foot in the air, while the other passengers in the car started pre- ciptately for the doors. “'Do’ you know there is a quarantine against that place? continued the southerner. **Yes,' replied the other. “‘Well, you can’t stop off at Mobile.! “‘But I must. I have business thero.’ It makes no difference about your busi- ness,’ continued the colonel, positively, *I'io Motile board of health has passod resolutions arantining against P ola, and you'll to continue on this train.’ I won't do any such thing,’ said the drummer. ‘I'm going to get off at Mobile, I've got an engagement with Jonuie Strauss, and T wouldn't mis sing him for a good deal. Ho expects mo.’ "Il tell you what 1t is, my man,’ an- swered the quarantine officer, ‘there's a party of zeutlemen on the railroad platform at Mobile armed with shot guns that will look after you if you do get off.’ ¢ But, Colonel,’ said the drummer, scoing that the joke had' gone far enough, ‘it can’t be as bad as that. It's some little time since T've been to Pensacola.” ‘*How long is it?’ queried the colonel, who had neglocted to ask that all important ques- tion. 4 ‘Well,! r(‘éllh!d the other, ‘I can’'t exactly recollect the day and month. Perhaps you can assist me. I was in the union navy auring the war. We had alittle affair at Pensacola and another one right out in Mobile bay. Do you recollect the date of the Pensacola eventi If you do, that was the first, last and only time I was ever at Pensacola. Iv's about twenty years ago, now I think.’ ‘A great shout went up from every oue in the car. The colonel laughed as loudly us the rest. ‘Dl tell you what it is, boys,’ he said, ‘the drinks aro on me. I want you all to join mo at the Battle House bar as soon as ever we reach Mobile.’ ““Ther turning to the Trojan he added, ‘I'll refresh your memory a little about those affairs at Pensacola and Mobile bay., I was there myself.” Heard at the Hotels, Mr. A. Gebhart, a Chicago traveling man, regaled the loungers in the corridor of the Paxton hotel yesterday afternoon with rom- iniscences of his experience in hotels in the far west. “‘A yearor more ago,” he said, “I spent some time in Arizona, Idaho, Washing- ton and Wyoming. At one timeI madea trip by stage overland fifty miles, and reached a small town in Wyoming. The only hotel in the camp was a long, wooden building, and the beds were mattresses thrown on the floor, When the stage ar- rived we were greeted by the landlord and a large shepherd dog. I remained in town sev- eral days and noticed that the eat which was sorved had a peculiar taste, I also dis- covered that the dog was missing. The land- lord was taken to task, and he finally ac- kuowleaged that as game was scarce and no other meat could be had, he had served the dog in the highest style of his art. He palli- ated the offense by saying that dog meat was cleaner and better than pork at any stage of the game. 1 do not particularly object to dog meat, but I think that where 1t is served it should be put on the bill of fare, so that a person may know what he is eating. You fellows who kick about hotels in the east should visit the northwest and then you would not be so particular,” ‘‘Speaking about fastidiousness at a hotel,” chimed in another traveling man, “reminds me of an incideat which occurred at a hotel in this state. It was a very hot day last August and there were four of us at the table. The hotel proprietor's table was just across from ours, Wo soon discovered that the butter on our table was strong enough to have walked in from the adjoining township. It was strong enough to turn the stomach of an oyster. One of the boys sug- gested thut wo wait a fow minutes.. When the waiters were out of sight he sueaked to the proprietor’s table and defll?’ exchanged the butter plates. In a short time the pro- prietor and his wife came in and sat down; and when the old man tasted the butter he grew red in the face and gave the waiter a look that nearly frightened him to death. He then went for the waiter, swore at him in English and German, and finally told hims to get out. In the meantime, we fellows stuffed ins in our mouths to keep from laugh- A Drummer's Superstitions, Speaking about the superstitious weak nesses of commercial travelers, a veteran drummer for a big hardware house in this city said a few nights ago: “I have been on the road for thirty years, and I do not know of a man in my line of busincss that pays so little atteation to ominous circumstances and signs as myself. But on my recent trip home I must confess to having weakened. I left Buffalo last Tuesday afternoon, intending to stop over night in Syracuse. There were four other drummers on the train, all good feliows and friends of mine. As the train approached Syracuse I began picking up my traps, preparatory to disembarking. *What are you going to do#' asked one of my friends. ‘I ain golng to get off here, said I. you do it,’ said all of the others in unison. ‘There have vbeen too many hotel fires in Syracuse. Better come on to Utica with us.' After a moment's reflection 1 put my bag back in the rack and staid with the boys. To tell the truth, the word fire made me nervous about getting off at Syracuse,” Complaints Against Pullman.
