REACH NEW MARKETS
Loca! Jobbers Want to Drum Up Trade
In Nebraska with Special


Interest in jobbers' excursions for the
twin cities has been aroused by the re-
suits of a recent trip made to the south
west by Chicago wholesalers. A Mime
apolis jobber gives the following interview
on the subject to the Commercial Buile-
tin: ..- ,,,.-. '... --<
1--WE sounded the railroads on this mat
ter during. the past year but could get
little satisfaction. Not all of the jobbers
would enthuse but enough Of them sub
scribed to the plan to give it good sup
port. The trouble in putting through
plans of this kind is that most Of the
houses have had to hump themselves
in order to keep the business from swamp
ing their plants. The country is growing
and every house is having all it can do
without worrying about the future to
any great extent. f.. ga. -
"But many of the jobbers and manu-
facturers realize that the future must be
considered some, no matter how fast trade
comes. We therefore asked the railroads
for some concessions Oh the expense Of the
train which has usually been allowed in
several Of the markets of the country
The, roads we approached gave us no
satisfaction and the matter was dropped
for the time. .-.-r-
During recent years the jobbers have
Joined in one excursion like this and
made it decidedly profitable. The Mime
apolis & st. Louis donated us a train and
a delegation made the trip along its lines
extending into Iowa. Since that time we
have had a good trade from that region
and it is constantly growing better II a
delegation Of twin city jobbers should go
into Nebraska and cultivate the acuuaint-
ance Of more Nebraska merchants this
market would get more trade from that
state. These excursions can be made
profitable no matter in which direction
they go. The retailers excursions are a
good thing, but the jobbers'e visits would
supplement them nicely

lnterurban and High Speed Roads.

Interurban electric railroads have
had an immense development in the
rich agricultural districts of the mid
die western states. 1t is often said
that electric roads check city growth
by creating suburban districts, but in
the farming regions, according to the
Railroad Gazette, they have had still
greater effect in building up many
small centers of population. The I'm
ion Traction company of Indiana oper-
ates 100 miles of interurban track and
"a miles of city track in the gas belt
of that state and serves a population
of $4,000. The interurban lines are
located almost entirely on private
right of way protected by fences and
cattle guards. Tests have shown that
a maximum speed of So miles an hour
may be reached and an average speed
OF As miles an hour maintained. The
rates of fare are approximately one
cent mile. Already the interurban
electric road handles the bulk of sub
urban and short distance interurban
passenger traffic; it carries freight,
mail, express and baggage. One of the
greatest possibilities of the interurban
road lies in the development of freight
traffic. 1t is we'll fitted for the trans
fer of farm produce and supplies for
farmers and for carrying package mer-
chandise.

StoneWalI Jackson a Poet.

The following lines were written
while Jackson was an artillery officer
in Mexico, during the war between
the United States and that country:
My Wife and Child.
The tatto beats, the lights are gone,
The camp around in slumber lies:
The night with solemn pace moves on
The shadows thicken DER the skies.
But sleep my weary eyes hath flown,
And sad, uneasy thoughts arise.
| think of thee, OH dearest one,
Whose love my early life hath blest,
Of thee and him-our baby SON
Who slumbers on thy gentle breast.
God Of the tender, frail and lone,
Oh! guard the tender sleepers' rest.
And hover gently, hover near,
To her, whose watchful eye is wet.
To mother, wife-the doubly dear,
In whose young heart have freshly
Two streams of love so deep and
clear,
And cheer her dropping spirits yet.
Now while she kneels before Thy
throne,
Oh! teach her, ruler of the skies,
That while they behest alone,
Earth's mightiest powers fall or
rise,
No tear is wept to thee alone,
No hair is lost, no sparrow dies,
That Thou canst stay the ruthless
hands
OF dark disease and soothe it's pain;
That only by thy stern commands
The battles lost, the soldier slain.
That from the distant sea or land
Thou bringst the wanderer home
again
And when upon her pillow lone
Her tear-wet cheeks are sadly prest
May happier visions bear upon
The Frightening current of her
breast;
No browning look nor angry tone
Disturb the Sabbath of her rest
Whatever fate those forms NAV show.
Loved with a passion almost wild
BY day-by night-in joy or woe
By fears oppressed of hopes be-
guiled.
From every danger, every foe,
Oh! God! protect my wife and child

BRIEF AND INTERESTING.

Electric railways are rapidly dis
placing the old-fashioned diligences in
Switzerland.
More than 100000 people have as
cended the Washington monument
since it was opened fourteen years ago.
Two modern Touring mills, with
American machinery, have recently
been constructed at Hardin, Manchu-
ria.
The highest mountains in Cuba
reach greater heights than any peak in
the eastern ranges of the United
States.
The mortality from accidents in
railway employees was reduced 35 per
cent. last year by improved coupling
devices.
Two of Dickens novels, Oliver
Twist and the Tale of Two Cities, are
running as serials in Partisan daily
papers.
Penny X-ray instruments, by the
aid of which the curious may see their
own finger bones, are being sold in the
streets of London

which their remains are now found
This strange animal psychologists
have named Patriofelis ferox, which,
literally translated from scientific
Latin, is ''ferocious or wild father
cat" There is now, of course, no way
Of telling just what the old original
father cat looked like; whether he
was striped like the tiger, as some
have held, or whether he had spots
like the leopard, which others have
contended are the most primitive of
all cat markings; but, although as
large as modern lion, we do not
know, by an examination of it's bones
that in form and habits it bore closer
resemblance to the Cacomictl cat
than to any other of it's modern de-
scendants.
While the skull, teeth and certain
other parts show plainly that it was
cat, there are one or two of the
bones, notably those of the shoulder
and hips, so strikingly like those of
the seal that when first discovered
they were mistaken for those of some
animal of the seal or sea lion kind,
nor was this view upset until the rest
of the remains were found.
Moreover, the caudal vertebrae
showed that the animal had tail like
an otter, while other things con-
tributed to prove clearly ano beyond
all question that the first cat, instead
of being denizen of high and dry
places like the majority of it's modern
| descendants, was an amphlbiOus
animal, spending most of it's time in
the water. Now, although the Cacom-
ictl cat does not go to the extreme OF
having single bone suggestive of or
resembling those of the seal or otter
yet in form and habits it is more like
the old original parent cat than any
known feline, and for that reason has
probably undergone fewer modifica
lions from the original form than any
of the modern cats, known to science
The Eyra cat and the pair Of
Cacomictl cats now at the 'nationa
ZOO are magnificent, full-grown speci
mems of their species, and were OBJ

OIL AS A DUST KILLER.

The heavy black oil from the wells
in Los Angeles and vicinity has been
used for a number of years on the
country roads around that city with
excellent results, as can testify from
personal experience, having ridden
many miles on these oiled roads dur
ing the past two winters. The most
successful application is in the road
district south of the city of Los
Angeles
Inc Oil is not, to my knowledge,
invariably applied hot nor is it
usually applied while road is in
process Of construction. but is spread
over the roadbed in the condition at
the temperature it is pumped from the
wells.
1t is applied by means of tank
wagons of thirty to fifty barrels ca
pacity, drawn by four or six horses
and fitted with an attachment some
what similar to that on the sprinkling
carts used on our streets. The usual
| method is thoroughly to cover one
half of the roadbcd, so as to not to
interfere with travel. and after an
interval of twenty-four of forty eigbt
! hours the remaining half is similarly
treated. This is repeated until the
dust is thoroughly saturated to a
depth of one or more inches. depend.
ing on the previous condition of the
| road, and the continuous travel soon
packs the soil. forming a dustless
road-a luxury to be appreciated by
| those wo have ridden on the roads Of
that semi-tropical country. with its
small annual rainfall Usually one
coating a year, if applied as described
| is sufficient to render dustless the
worst of roads.
The reason given by certain rail
road companies for disseminating the
use of crude oil on their roadbeds
probably would not exist if the oil
could be thoroughly incorporated with
the fine particles of dust. as is done
on the wagon roads of California by
the travel over them. The stirrins
OF the dust by the passing trains ant
the evaporating action of the sun ant
wind soon dries up the LIQUID portion
OF the Oil, and the dust which ha.
temporarily been held down by tn,
