Seattle Council Enjoys Its First Smoker
"A Pleasant Gathering.


TIE first smoker of Seattle Council No
So, United Commercial Travellers of Amer
lea, was given in the Stevens hotel Satur-
day night and was in every way an ocoa-
sion long TO be remembered. The services
Of a quartette composed of Messrs. Lind
say. Saunders. Conant and Sharpe were
secured. and together with the Montana
students and the home" talent present
filled the atmosphere with melody. Mr.
Bebh. of the Denny Clay Company and
w. Thomas sang several solos, which were
enthusiastically received. The event of the
evening was speech by r. II. Ferguson,
which. while short, was never hard to I'M
derstand and each burst of eloquence was
heartily applauded The knights of the
road were In the proper mood to ind enjoy
ment In everything and they improved the
fleeting hours in the most approved fash
ion
The United Travellers of America is a Sc
cret organization that has developed from
the I. =. A. and the Seattle Council No
81, is the first lodge established in this city

Saturday of each month. The officers are
as follows: Senior counselor. Howard Til
ton: junior councelor. A NJ. Westwood:
past counselor George Durham: treasurer,
O. Shattuck; secretary. J. Irving: conduc-
tor, c r. Barrow: page Charles Carr
This is the only secret association OF tray
cling men, and its interests do not conflict
with the 7. p. a The order here has 100
members, and "a strong lodge has also been
Instituted in Portland. At the biennial jol-
LITIGATION Of the order the iovial disposition
which is a recognized characteristic of
travelling men, IS allowed fun swing, and
the conflicting interests of business are
forgotten.

ANU sEMENTS.


Mr.. Seymour will deliver the second lee
ture of his course at the Seattle theater
tonight. and crowded house should tes-
tify TO the excellence OF the entertainment.
HIS subject is particularly interesting. as
it deals with the splendid Burgundidn
court, its fetes and revels in its palmi-
est days. the schemes and i1trigues OF
Louis XII of France who was determined
to destroy the power of mis- most formld-
able vassal: the final fall of Charles the
Bold into the tolls of his enemy. and his
destruction by the terrible Swiss, the mos.
ferocious Of warriors. Every subject in
the present course of Mr.. Seymours lee
lures seems to have been selected for its
dramatic a. well as its historical features,
and 10 give as much variety as possible
to the series Those who have listened TO
Mr. Seymours lectures need not to be
told that every one is complete and
finished study of the subject in itself.

ROLL OF HONOR NAN
Sergeant Sehou's Daring Ride

for Distinguished Bravery
While in Action.

Sergt Julius Schou. now connected with
the recruiting station Of this city. is what
is known as "a medal Of honor man" that
H. re has a medal awarded by congress
for bravery in action. That such An 1f'nor
is highly priced may be inferred from the
fact that although the presentation or sicn
medals began early in the war. the roll CT
those having received them only numbers
$50 Among these are famous names OF
generals and other army officers ani men
Of the rank and file whose names are rot
so well known as they deserve TO be. among
the latter that Of Sergt. Schou-
on July L. iss2. the house and senate
passed this resolution: That the rTesi-
dent Of the United States be and IS hereby
authorized to cause 1000 medals OF nonor
to h.. prepared with suitable emolemsuc
devices. and to direct that the same be pre-
sented in the name Of congress, to such
non-commissioned officers and priEt;es as
shall distinguish themselves by :heir gal
Iantry In action and other soidier-lke qaak-
ties, during the present insurrection. In
the year following the resolution was
broadened to take in such officers, non
commissioned officers and privates as have
distinguished or may hereafter distinguish
themselves in action"
Sergi. Schou received his medal FOR cis-
tinguished conduct during the campa IN OF
1876 against the hostile Sioux tndi1ns. In
carrying a dispatch to Fort Rufori. OAK.

mander. while serving as corporal OF Com
pany /. Twenty infantry"
The post commander was Gen. Hazen,
and the officer who sent the dispatch vac
Brig Gen. Otis. now in command Of the
department Of the Columbia. Schou was
rewarded Immediately by being transferred
from the infantry TO Troop C, Fourth cav
airy. and promoted to sergeant. The medal
came long after. When asked about the
Incident yesterday Sergt. Schou said mod
estly:
''Oh, 1t was nothing. anybody could have
done the same. We were down at GleGdive
creek. eighty miles from Fort Buford. 1t
was right after the Custer massacre and
We were still chasing Indians. On the night
