THE POOR HOTEL KEEPERS.
A Long. Wished Protection for Them Sc
cure at Last.

The hotel keepers of Illinois have
organized an "Association" for their
mutual protection. 1t is useless to
remark how we'll advised this move
ment is, for if there is class of men
on earth who need the protecting arm
of the law 'thrown about them in a
sweet and tender embrace" it is those
men who keep hotels. They are now
not responsible to anybody for the
valuables of guests; they are free
from obligation to furnish chops or
steaks that anybody can masticate, or
coffee that has any ingredient that
would be lonesome in an emetio.
They are not compelled to furnish a
bed that has not already been pre-
empted by an army of settlers, nor
soup much more effective for its al
legged purposes than cobble-stones.
They permit no decorative auto
graph upon the register unless the in
dividual thus distinguished has Sar-
atoga trunk; nor do they, generally
speaking, leave man money enough
to pay has way to the next station af-
ter he has paid his bill.
Yet it is fact that once in a great
while these servants of the travelling
public are beaten out of slice oil
bread besmeared with oleomargarine,
but the poor fellow who does so us.
ually gets the worst of 1t. By all
means let the Association" prosper

A PORTLAND DUDE.

An Exquisite" Commercial Man from
Oregon has His Experience and
Skips.
His name was not Peach. He was
a dapper little dandi6ed dude. Pretty
as picture, in his mind, and per-
fumed to beat a drugstore. He hailed
from Portland, Oregon, and dealt In
ladies' fancy goods and wear. He
stopped with Bews & Hodgman and
was sure he was masher, and having
broken the hearts of all the HALEY
girls, sought other fields for conquest.
He heard of the Guyer Hot Springs
at Ketchum-how the baths were de-
licious and the up-river girls fond of
fun. Making inquiry of Tom Camp,
bell, he was referred to George War
rem as the gentleman who would land
him safe and sound in the city up the
river, where Falstaff Baxter and Jolly
slim" Judge entertain just such nut
megs as he.
"Oh! yes, sir; I'll take you up.
Start at 5 p. m, sharp. Will have
you there before z, in time for swim
and a good supper" He went.
George belongs to the Young
Mems Christian Association, and in
troduced the nice young man from
Portland to his acquaintances anc
patrons in Ketchum, among them hi.
lady acquaintance. Doing the ele
giant as becomes a nice young MAJ
from Portland, the Exquisite" pro
posed a visit to the Springs for 1
swim, declaring that he was he mer
maid in the water. A party was sool
made up. Arriving at the Spring
our hero insisted on a plunge bath
all going in together. 1t was agreed
to, only one young lady hesitated be
cause she could not swim. This wa
the opportunity the nice young maj
long had sought. 1t wonld make hin
a hero. The papers would chronicle
his many admirable traits and graces
The young girl finally consented t.
try it, eff you will will keep near M
and hold me up" In they went

there was shrek. 1t cam
from one of the ladies who knew nov
to swim; "She'll drown, oh shell
Fdrown - resoundeI through tn
huilding-[the young girl had dive
and did not come up.] The dude i
vain pulled and tugged, she wa
fast drowning, she become so helples
and SO heavy!-after while she wa
dragged out, pale, senseless and az
parently dead. Friends gathere
around the form of beauty lying Their
in seeming death. Cries, piteous t
hear, drowned the noise of the water
rushing near by; all was confusion

claimed the dapper little dandy, an
off he started on a run.

AUCTION Stores and Licenses.

From the proceedings of a late meet
ing of the Winona Board of Trade, pub
lished in last Thursdays Republican, it
appears that body is also wrestling with
the conundrum, chow to. stamp out
auction or so-called flying stores" As
expressive of their sentiments in the
matter the board unanimously adopted
the following resolutions
WHEREAS, The merchants of the city
of Winona, as taxpayers and citizens
are called upon to bear the public bur-
dens, and are identified with the for.
tunes of the city, and rs such are en-
titled to protection; and,
WHEREAS, 1t has long been the Gus
tom for class of itinerant dealers to
bring to the city goods, claimed to be
bankrupt stock. stocks of goods dam
aged BY fire, shop worn, and gener-
ally WORTHLESS, and sell the same fat
auction, thereby deranging the market,
to the great damage of trade, and st the
same time imposing upon the purchas-
ers by imposing upon them damaged
and worthless goods; and,
WHEREAS, Such itinerant vendors are
accustomed to make their appearance
after the time of assessment has passed,
and to leave the city before taxes which
might be imposed shall be payable,
thereby escaping taxation and all pub
lie burdens, and depart from the city
as other tramps depart, carrying away
