Try a little healthy laughter,
Good oldfashioned jolly laughter,

x 7IsIToRs to Minneapolis during
" the great summer conventions
" may be surprised at the large
number and superior quality Of the
works of fine art. Settled by people
OF culture who appreciated the esthetic
value of art as well as material growth,
the rapid contemporary development
along both lines has been conspicuous.
Guests should be shown the permanent
art collections as we'll as the scenic
beauty and Industrial interests.
While the city was numerically
scarcely $4,000, the inception Of a def
mite art movement. was manifested bv
the incorporation, in 1888, of society
OF fine arts by Professor William W.
FolWell, then president of the state uni
versity, with twenty-four other citizens.
Under the auspices Of this society an
art loan was opened Nov. 20, 1883,
visited by 10000 persons, and leaving
the net profits of over $1,000. All Of
this was devoted to the establishment
OF permanent art gallery. Other loan
EXHIBITS and lectures added to the
funds, and in 1884 the school Of Ainc
arts was founded which now numbers
over 200 pupils, and is nearly self
sustaining. The circumstances which
have given two such able art directors
to the school for it's twenty-five years
as Douglas Volk and Robert Koehler,
OF international reputation, have been
most satisfactory in results and the
high standard of work. .f

ANOTHER CONCESSION.
Western Passenger Association Loosens
IT, Up a Little Bit. n

Chicago, May 26.-In response by
demands made by commercial travellers
tive committee of the general passen-
ger agents Of western lines have for
mulated plan reducing the amount Of
initial payments Of mileage books I'm
der the aew plan 3,O00-mile books will
'be sold for $50 with a rebate of $3.50
for the cover, instead Of the present
|method, whereby local tickets are pur-
chased and refund Of $3.50 made on
receipts for the distance. "
It is. also proposed to issue 5OO-mile
books for $3.50, without a refund. The
travelling men have for a long time
urged that the railroads had the use of
ments, refunded later, in greater
amount than is necessary and the new
plan will in a measure eliminate this
feature, of the mileage book system.
The railroads are expected to take final
action in ratification of the proposed
change in the near future.

IOWA NORMAL. SCHOOL
GETS VALUABLE CURIoS
D. A. Hoffman of Oskaloosa, Iowa,
by President Seerley.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Cedar Falls, Iowa, May 26.-Presi-
dent Seerley of the Iowa state normal
school, and Professor NJ. T. Arey Of
the natural science department. have re-
turned from Oskaloosa, where they have
been for several days negotiating for
the purchase of the splendid collection
of minerals and curios owned by DIR.
D. A. Hoffman of that city.
President Seerley purchased the en-
tire collection, which represents years
of unremitting search by this pioneer
physician, for the normal school, where
it will be known as the "Hoffman col
lection.'
The president is himself superintend-
ing the packing of the collection, whils
the stenographer takes the history Of
each specimen as dictated by DR.. Hoff-
man. The sale is the outgrowth Of
years of friendship between the two
men. When Mr.. Seerley went to Oska-
loosa to teach in the high school he
became acquainted with DR.. Hoffman,
whom he often assisted in securing
| rare specimens of coal or minerals.
Most of the specimens are from this
state and will be of inestimable value
in the state institution, where they are
to be placed. President Seerley says
he has seen but two better collections
outside of Washington, D. c., one at
Davenport in the Academy of Science,
and one at Madison, Wis.

GOOD OF THE ORDER.

4 The leaven is working, but slowly.
The Western Passenger association has
concluded to sell 3,000-mile books for
$50 instead of 500, which is not a re.
.duction in price, but in the amount OF
the travelling men 3 money that IS NED hela
will also be issued for $3.50 without re-
bate. This will be a convenience, but It
is not much Of concession and will
not 90 far towards satisfying the trav-
cling men. The Western association
has been expected to do something In
the way Of increasing. the discount on
excess baggage, but this apparently, has
gage books Of the northern roads are
interchangeable, but $60-book is now
sold for $4S, which is the same as be-
fore, when $15 books on either tho
Northern Pacific or Great Northern sold
for $12. A travelling man now need
carry but one book, instead Of two, but
he has to double his purchase price: At
the cry for a discount OF at least ~
per cent on excess baggage books, in
stead of 20 per cent, will have no uncer-
tain sound.
The Sample Case gives this pointer as
to how the travelling man can curry
some favor with the railroads by help
ing to suppress the ticket scalper. 1t
to a general realization that the ticket
sca!pers are standing in the way OF
their getting equitable railway fares
they will probably not hesitate to 90
after the scalpers. Right now it is
getting to be very unpopular among
Commercial travellers to ride on scalp
ers' tickets, and If the sentiment
spreads among the fraternity, the
~
mercial travellers are very ethical set
and if it gets to be considered unpro-
fessional to patronize tue scalper he
viii refrain from doing it. The gen
eral reduction Of fares and the knowl-
edge that he is getting as cheap fares
from the railroads as they give any
the commercial traveller.
Here's some moro newspaper advice:
The Chicago Post thinks the railroads
are right in claiming that the removal
| of the rebate and the selling Of books
at the flat rate would help the scalp
ers to carry on their business and fur
nish their stock in trade. Tt believes
the solution is the abolition of thu
strip form of mileage ticket and the
sole use of the interchangeable creden
tial form which does not require any
deposit, or cash to be paid for anything
but the ordinary fare to be paid fo1
each trip with a rebate when 1000 mile:
have been travelled within year.
Down in Old Missouri the travelling
men have been getting after the scall
