Rieeel received two bad woulds on the crown of his head and his coat was pierced with bul lets, which, fortunately, did not take effect. Hebbler had a narrow- escape, a book in "his pocket pre venting a bullet Irom passing through his body. The trouble was caused by jeal ously Bebbler, w ho is a cousin o Dr. Itiegel's wife, had been corres ponding with her, and paying her freciuent visit. On Saturday he paid hel a visit, which resulted in a war of words between Bebbler and the Doctor. The outcome of the quarrel 1 was a challenge from thtf dactor to tight a duel,' which was promptly accepted by Babbler Sunday morning was promptly ac cepted as the time of meeting, and th iv met at the appointed hour, and in short order began firing at each-other with revolvers, with the above result. Mrs. Riegel, who is the alleged cause of the trouble, is twenty years of ase and very attractive. The parties are. well. counected and the affair has caused quite a sensation. The L.ndles' Friend.

A Drummer Relates UI Ex perience in Grand Ilnpld Sllclilgnti. One thing I like about these 'Knights of the Road" is that they are great fellows for secret socie ties. Most all the drummers be long to everything that is going, from the 'Grand Knights of the Diamond Garter" down to the 'Sonsf Intemperance," I am quite a hand for aU such myste rious tilings myself, and so I get solid with ah, the boys. My old friend Crookston called on me the other day to see if I needed any drugs, and to have a visit. Vvr. had a jolly old time. Whiie we were sitting m the office a chap came in, and wanted to boirow $2 on account of a remittance not coming to him as he expected. I told him my $2 1 kept to lend was in now, being sent in ihe day be ing sent in the day before by John ny Mclntyre, but 1 neuer lent it except to drummers. . He eaid. 'That's me." I gave him the grand. hailing sign of an Odd Fel, low, which he tumbled to. Then I came to the great '"hair in the soot'.' grip of o Pythonic. Then Crook gave him the G. 13. of the Sons of Malta He was on to it.' Then T tinnpd him th h - -1 i- - " v.iv ""'"(3 signal of a gocd Tippler lie smiled, and said "H. O." This is a chemical term, meaning -'waters' Then Crook stuck out his hand, and gave him the noted P. D. Q. sign of. a Royal Arch Briek j Mason. He "got thar" on that XliClX VjlUURBUll CAamiuvu uiui uo follows, to make sure he was a drummer: ''From whence comest thou, pard ?" "From the Lodge of the Holy St Johns, Michigan." 'What seek ye here to do V "To take a few orders and co'- lect a bill ot Billson." "Then you are a drummer ?". "I am so taken and accepted by all the boys." "How may I know you to be a drummer V "By my check and my fifty pound sample case Try me." "How will you be tried V "By the square." "Why by the square ?" ' Because the square is a magis trate. and an emblem of stupidity ''Where were you first prepared to be a drummer ?" "In my mind." 'Where next ?" "In a printing office, adjoining a regular post of drummers." "How were you prepared V 'By being divested of my last cent, my cheek rubbed down with a brick, a bunion blaster over each eye and a he. ivy sample case in each hand. In this fix I was con ducted to the door of a post." "How did you know it was a door, being blind ?'' 4,By first stepping in a coal scut tle and afterward bumping my head against the door knob." v ''How gained you admission?" "By benefit of my cheek' "Ilad you the required cheek ?'' "I had it not but Steve Sears had it for me." "How were you received ?" "On the sharp toe ot a boot, ap plied to mv natural trousers." " :AVhat did this teach you "Not to foul around toonuch." What-happened next ?" 'I was set down on a cake of ice and asked if I put my trust in marciiantile reports.'' , ..... ' '-.Your answer?" ''Not if I know myself, 1 don't. "How was you. next handled 1V -' "I was ' put straddle of a goat inhde out of a 2x4, and tcUed nine times around the - room by four worthy .brothers''' and then tret in front of theLeft Bower for further instructir-ns." . "How did ninstruct you ?" , 'To appioach a customer in three upright regular steps with my business card extended at right angles, my arms forming a per feet square." "How was you then, disposed of?" "I was again seated on a cake of ice in front of a dry goods bor,and made to take the following horri ble and bindfng oath : "I Charles Robinson, do hereon and herein most everlastingly and diabollieally s.vear, by tho Great Bob Tail Flush, that I will never reveal and always steal all the trade secrets I can tor the use and benefit ot this Most August Order. And I further swear by the Bald Headed Jack of Clubs, that I will never give, carve, make, hold, take or cut prices below the regular rates. And I further swear, by the Piper that played before Moses, to never have any commercial deal ings with any man or his wife, sister, grandmother, old maid, aunt or uncle, unless they, he, she or it is sound on the goose. Binding myself by no less a penalty than to have mv grip sack slit kom top to bottom, my dirty shirts and socks taken out, and my reputation re-J moved and buried in the fiver at Pearl street bridge, where the Sal vation Army ebbs and flows every two and one-half hours. So hdp me Bob Ingersol and keep me in backbone. "I was then asked what I most needed." "What was your reply "Money." "Ohat did you then behold ?" .."A copy of-Dun & Co.'s report, open at chapter 'Muskegon.' Up on the, open book? rested a pair of. ed lie und in the other sat a small silver jackass?' " " r "What did this. signify?" "The scales.indicated the balance between debtor and creditor.. The j other emblems represented lie-a bilities and ass:ets ; of bankrupts." "Did this .teach, you any .lesson? "You bet! It 'taught.: me the fact that the fofme "are generally so almighty much better than ttje latter.". "Snake! ;: Brother ! Will you be off or from ?" "Bolh, if I can borrow money enuff get out of town on." "Have you any Cigars?" "I have." " " "Gita 'em to me ?" "I did not so receive 'em, neither will I so impart 'em.' "How will you dispose of 'em ? "On sixty day's time or two per cent cash F. O. B.' "All right, begin' . "No, begin you.'. . 'No, you begin.' , 'Up 'Em.' 'Set.'

It is quite as apparent that the Popnlixt plan includes and demands tho increase of the treasury notes with no pro vision for gold or silver redemp tion. There is no element ot real fi nancial reform in either of these positions. The first would still further de crease tho circulation. It is true that it would make every ol!ai good. The trouble with it is that money would be. so scarce and good that less than even now would find its way to the agricult ural sections. The second would be equally as hurtful to the other extreme. It would make money so plentiful that it would be at a discount, and would brng sabout an era of ex travagance in appropriations that would son bankrupt the country. Paper money is worth no more than any other papr unit es it can j be redeemed on presentation, jfj the riffiit i ffivpn to or pypiv: I by Congress of Drintinff an nniim-l ited amount of irredeemable paper j money, the experience of the Con I we don't say on which side rc tederate States of America and of;ma,ked alter thy tria1.- that it was the Argentine Republic would be repeated here whenever the mem bers of Congress thought large is- pa wnnlrl incrnwA thoir nrnmlnr. The middle ground is the only safe ground.
