PASSING OF THE DRUMMER.

IF'rom the Worcester Spy.1
One of the saddest effects of the pres
ent system of business consolidation
will be the passing of the travelling
statesmen. The man of jests and grip
sacks will soon be no more. Lik.t horses
in this age of electricity, compressed
air and bicycles, he will soon lag super
ffuous on the stage. The genial indi-
vidual who boosted a different girl in
every city on the road and a fresh joke
for each customer will cease - startle
quiet, rural villages with ais loud
clothing and louder conversatiCn n. He is
effete, passe, an anachronism.
Now the rival business houses have
pooled interests they will no longer
need to employ a man to tell storekeep-
ers how much cheaper and letter their
line of goods is than any other. They
will simply divide up the field into ter
ritOries, each concern reigning supreme
and without competition in it's individ-
uaI sphere of influence"
But all classes will bemoan the drum
mer's demise. Railroad corporations
will declare smaller dividends, hotel
keepers will be disconsolate and bar
keepers will go into mourning. The
drummer has always been lavish with
his employers money and has made
trade good in country towns. He will
be sadly missed. The world will re-
duee it's dividends of humor.

is the choice of Robert E. Burke, chair
man of the Cook county Democratic
central committee, for president of the
United States. Today Mr.. Burke pro-
posed to the county Democrats a plan
to boom" Harrison as the candidate
of the Democratic party. Burke's plan
is to send the county Democracy's
marching club next fall into various
cities in Ohio and to Denver and Mil
waukee to help the Democrats in those
cities in their campaigns. In return for
this service a promise of support for
Harrison in the next Democratic nation
al convention will be exacted
Mr.. Burke impressed the short-haired
clan that listened to him that the only
hope that Ohio has of electing a Dem

aid of the Cook county Democracy
which he said was instrumental in elect
ing Van Wyck as mayor of New York
If Ohio goes Democratic this fall he
argued, Democratic president would
be elected in 1900. And he believed that
careful maneuvering would place Chi

A TRAIN FOR DEWEY.
A Transcontinental Line Offers One
Free of Charge.

Washington, May 10.-The effort be-
gun in the west to have Admiral Dewey
to return by way of San Francisco is
being supplemented here. The repre-

continental railways called at the navy
department today and stated that if
Admiral Dewey returned by way of San
Francisco this railroad proposed to
place at his service an entire train, the
finest that ever crossed the continent,
and make it subject to his wishes as to
the places and time of stops on the way
east.
1t was urged also that this would give
practically the whole country an oppor-
tunity to join in the reception of the
hero of Manila, instead of restricting it
to the stretch between New York and
Washington.

Same Bolt Strikes In Three Different

[From the Winfield Courier.l

IF'rOm the WlntieId COurier.l
During the storm Saturday evening
about $50 a very keen flash of light
ming played in and around Winfield
and great many breathed easier when
they heard the thunder following it and
found themselves unhurt. The front
door of Geo. Hudson's store was open
and the lightning went in and broke
the glass in one show case, cracking
it almost straight across. No other
damage was done.
The same flash struck a maple tree
at the home of J. S. Oaks on West
Tenth and made kindling wood of it,
but did not bother anything else. w C.
Denny was hitching a horse to a buggy
close by and the lightning knocked the
horse down but did not hurt it. 1t got
up and wanted to run.
