THE AMERICAN '7DRUMMER. /"
Child of the BaRman of Former Years,
But Greater Than His Parent.

From the Kansas City Star.
The commercial traveller of the United
States illustrates the growth and extern
sion and improvement and elevation Of
the world and humanity Genealogically
he is descended from the bagman Of the
last century, who figures in so many good
stories; he who first travelled on horse
back selling goods by sample, as distin-
guished from the peddler who sold the
articles themselves. The bagman, de-
irving his title from his saddlebags, rep
resented the extension of commerce and
the growth of manufactures. He effected
the direct connection between the whole
sale and the retailer, between the port
and the interior, between the
centres of commerce and manu-
features and the widespread
country He was the ambassador,
the missionary of trade. With the COM
ing of railroads and steamboats, the horses
back traveller and his saddle-bags grad
ually disappeared, and so the name bag
man went out Of use The original labors
Of this dissemination of trade were greatly
increased in this country, and from the
fact that his business was to vigorously
solicit business with an energy like that
Of the "alarming drum" came the appela-
ton drummer" still in use but with the
increasing magnitude and, as may be-
said, the increasing dignity of his opera
tiOns came yet more comprehensive des-
ignation, and the bagman of old became
the commercial traveller of to-day, as
much greater than his commercial ances-
tor as a locomotive is in power than q
horse, and as the colossal sample trunk of
the nineteenth century is to the saddle
bags Of the eighteenth.
The commercial traveller, mastering by
thousands, is now great factor and
feature in American business and social
life The value and necessity of the COM
mercial traveller have been so fully DEM
onstrated that there is no longer any talk
of dispensing with him. As every religion
must have its preachers, so commerce,
trade, business must have its speaking
ministers and agents, its "stumpers,n So
licitors and orators The spirit of or
ganizatiop which distinguishes the cen<
fury has reached the commercial travel
ers. They form great society and
they have divided and subdivided
the land among them. Incessant-
ly travelling, they have directly
and indirectly regulated lines and facili-
ties of travel. Every railroad line has
felt their influence, and they have raised
the hotel standard of the country. The
commercial traveller, being an American
Citizen and usually voter, is necessarily
politician, and if he does not control
elections land he has been known to do
that, he becomes good judge as to how
the election is going. He moves about
among the people and becomes peoples
man y he is an authority on popular
events and questions; he connects distant
communities fosters the exchange OF
ideas, carries the news and fosters thm
brotherhood Of man.

Judging it unworthy of further struggle,
slew the animal with his fist, and carried
it away on his shoulders, amid the cheers
of the crowd. Another day, seeing sew
eral officers Of his regiment surrounded
by an angry crowd, he ran to them,
knocking people down right and left, as
child does with pack of ca ds. The
crowd, exasperated, turned round on
him, but, selling two of his assailants,
one with each hand, he used them as
clubs on the crowd, who, astonished at this
extraordinary display of strength, quick
ly drew back Once he squeezed to pulp
the hand of man who wanted TO fight
him.

a convent where she was; she threw one
out of the window and killed two others
with pillar she tore down and used as

There is no comfort in life" said a

bang For years I have been quite
wretched every season on account Of the
impossibility OF maintaining crimps at the
seashore; however well-coiffed l might be
on leaving my room, an hour or two in
the damp breezes would turn my wavy
tresses into unbecoming, aggressive
spikes. Why do you not buy naturally
curly baugl said a friend one day, when

WHEN LUMBEKMEN MEET

They Will Consider Their Dis
agreement With the Law Courts.
W. G. Hollis, secretary of the North
western Lumberman's association, has
sent to each member of the association
official notice of the meeting, with the
complete programme of everything the
lumbermen intend to do at this session.
The official notice contains this signif-
icant paragraph:
ut may he we'll to take this op-
portunity to say to our members
that the recent decision of Judge Cor
niSh in our case at bar does not by
any means settle the matter. Tie de-
cision is merely refusal OH the part of
the Judge to grant our motion to dis
solve the temporary injunction. 1t is
expected that the case will come up for
trial in the Ramsey county district court
some time during the present month,
and the decision of this court will nat
urally be sweeping one on both the
law points and the merits Of the case.
Our attorneys wish to assure the mem-
bers of the association that the case is
having every attention, and that we
firmly believe we have the law on our
side. The decision of Judge Cornish
does not make any change in the plans
for our annual meeting, aud indeed we
trust that it will have a tendency to
draw more members of the association
to Minneapolis on the 23d than would
otherwise have come"
The aSsociat ion will undoubtedly con-
slider this legal question at the forth
coming meeting. Next Monday and
Tuesday Will be given up to business
meeting. Wednesday morning they
will start for Chicago, stopping at Du-
Friday a W viii be be spent in Chicago. Sat- Sat-
urday will bring the party back to Min
neapolis for final adjournment. The
Hoo-Hoos, members of a secret order
composed of lumber journal represent
atives, Will hold couple of sessions,
one in Minneapolis and one in Chicago

us day. Chemist A. E. Hunt gave the
most important evidence at the morn
ing session, and caused something of a
sensation by stating that he found Gro
ton oil and arsenic in the eXcrement of
Homestead workman named Hebron,
which was given to him for ANALYSIS.
Hebron was taken i'll on Sept. 10. and
died five weeks later. In his testimony
Capt. Hunt said:
II made the analysis, and found that
the stool contained about nine drops of
OIL which contained large portion OF
croton oil. | also found that they con-
talned about one fourth of grain of
arsenic. By arsenic mean the white
powder commonly called arsenic acid.
The analysis was made by me and
under my supervision, and | am COM
petent to testify as to the proportions of
arsenic and croton oil. | nave no hest
tation in saying the excrement con-
tanned the proportions of arsenic and
crOton OIL"
Does not brown paper contain ar
senic?''
This paper does not. 1 made an an
alysis of the paper for this very pur-
pose, and 1t contained no acid"
The witness was sharply crosS-eXam-
ined, but his evidence remained I'M
shaken. James 0. Handy, chief chemist
of Hunt & Clapp, was called. He told
OF the analysis made of the eXcrement.
and the result showed the presence OF
croton oil and arsenic in the proportions
mentioned by Capt. Hunt. They made
four tests for arsenic, which demon
sLrated beyond doubt the presence of
arsenic. He never had made test for
croton oil before. He weighed the arse
mic. He made an analysis of the paper
IN which the eXcrement was wrapped
and found it free from arsenic. Part of
the paper around the eXcrement was
brown paper, but this also was analyzed
and found to contain no arsenic.
AT this afternoons session, after some
unlmportant evidence, the prosecution
rested and Thomas NJ. Marshall opened
for the defense. The first witness called
for the defense was DR.. Richard L. Nc
Cord, of PittSburg, who described the
effects of arsenic and croton oil on the
human system, and showed the similar
ity between symptoms caused by those
poSonS and those brought in by the
ordinary causes of disease. DR.. Pur-
man, of Homestead, said that he had
two patients now under his care, who
became afflicted with diarrhea last
July, and whose cases had not yet
yielded to treatment. j. L. Little, a
member of Battery B, Of the national
guard, and nine of his comrades teSti-
fed that shortly after arriving at Home
stead July 10 they became ill, and were
seized with dIarrh9a. Court here ad-
jOurned until tomorrow.

SWENSEN SUED.
Ex-Jailer Johnson's Reply to
Charges Made Against Him.

EX-Jailer JOhnSOn'S Reply TO
Charges Made Against Him.
Peter p. Swensen, eX-sherlff of Hen
nepin county. has been sued for 5000
by John W.. Davis, of Big Timber,
Mont. Davis was arrested last Septem-
Der by mistake, on request for the
arrest of Grand Forks jail-breaker. In
his complaint he charges that Otto
Johnson. the jaIler, did not enter him
legally on the Jail books, kept him con-
fined one day longer than was neces-
Sary and then took SIS from him. Sven
sen is made defendant, the sheriff being
responsible for the acts of his deputies.
johnson says Of the case:
"a telegram came from Grand Forks
requesting the arrest of man who had
broken jail there, and giving a descrip-
ton of the man wanted. l was detailed
to look out for him. | went to the depot
and looked through the train that came
from Grand Forks. Davis answered
the description. On the way to st. Paul
l inquired where the man got on the
train, and was told at Grand Forks. AS
he answered the description, L arrested
him as soon as we got to ST. Paul.
l left him in the Jail in st. Paul
perhaps thirty minutes, then brought
him over to the HennepIn county Jail.
He was locked up in the women's de-
partment, which was the best we could
do for him. He was given the best we
had in the jail. When the Grand Forks
officer came down and said he was not
the man, he was released. His name
was not entered on the books because l
had no right to do that until L knew
whether he was the man. Everything
l did was under orders.
II want to emphatically deny that l
took SIS from him. gave him back all
the money that was taken from h i'm
when he was arrested"
