By noon 6,000 men were ont and more will follow before night. The strike is not in any way connected with that ef the carpenters and hod earriers. ‘The bricklayers quit when their bosses an- pounced their refusal to pav on Saturday. Only a few of the bosses failed to refuse, and before evening probably 2,000 bricklayers had ceasea to work. This threw out” an equal number of hod cdrriers, who were useless without bricklayers to keen them busy. Nearly all the hod carriers in Chicago are now deprived of employment, 3,000 of them having been made 1dle by a strike of their own inaugurated a week aco for higher wages. No carpenters or painters have yet been affected, but soon will be for lack ot work if the existing difliculties remain unsettied. All the owners of stone and brick hoisting apparatus in the vicinity of Chicago signed an agreement to-day not to rent or sell any of their machines without the consent of the master builders’ associ- stion. A strong effort is being mado by the builders’ executive committee to prevent any material from being delivered in the city nding the strike. ~Late in the day one of e largest brick wanufacturing firms, Pur- ington & Kimball, ordered all their teams into_the barn. It was also announced that the Putlman Brick company would deliver 00 brick to-morrow. — lowa Postmasters ln Session.

T THE LAST SHOWING. Truman Buck Gives an Account of His StewArtsbip as City Treasurer, City Treasurer Buck has made his last re- port and presented the saine to the mayor, It is as follows: Hon. James E. Boyd. Mayor. Dear Sir: I submit the following as a_partial statement of business done in this department during the past ofticial vear, and also a statement of the present financial condition of the city. Since the commencement of the present ofticial year the city has sold bonds as fol- ows: Paving bonds, 5 per cent due in 20 Years. . +. £100,000 Séwer honds, 41§ per cent due in 20 years... Alley district paving bonds, 6 per centdue in 1to 9 vears....... aevees Curbing and guttering bouds, 6 per cent due in 1 to 9 years $490,900 In the same time there have been re- deemed 10 per cent bonds of 1809...8 9,000 Short tima distelct paving, curbing and guttering and alley district paving bonds..... 14§ $151,400 As pavment of all the short time bonds is provided for by taxes already levied which seem to be entirely adequate, the regular debt of the city embraces only the 20 year bonds, and the increase of that debt in” the last year is only $191.000. ‘T'he regular bonded debt of the city is now as follows: 10 per cents dne in 1850, 7 per cents due in 1900 6 per cents due in 1901 6 per cents due in 190 5 per cents due in 1 100,000 5 per cents due in 1904 170,000 5 per cents due in 190 150,000 5 per cents due in_ 1906 100,000 4% per cents due in 1906 . 100,000 81,048 The annual interest on these bonds is $03,412. The short time bonds now outstand- ing are as follows: District paving bonds. . Curbing and guttering Aliey material paving ponds. s A $350,100 sinking fund for the redemption of the 10 per cent bonds due in 183 there is now some money appiicable to the redemption of these bonds, Until recently this money has been well used in the temporary aid of the sinking funds for the district paving bonds, which funds no longer need assistance, I have attempted to obtain from those who hold these bonds in the east propositions for their surrender, and almost invariably have been answered that they prefer to keep them until maturity ; only $9,000 have been offered and by direction of the council 1 purchased those. ‘About $30,000 more of these bonds could be vaid for. 1 have recently attempted to buy i some of the 10 per eent school bonds for the board of education and could not get them. During the last year the board of ed- ucation has redeemd £100,000 10 per cent bonds, which is a reduction of Yhe city’s debt 1o that extent, as the city guaranteed the pay- w t. The difticulty which we have in purchasing any of our bonds shows how rood is our credit. And it is noticeable that after selling quite a large amonun sell at a steadily improving rate—a rate whieh is far better than any we could get six years ago, In the Iast year we have sold 4i¢ per cent bonds at a premium, which we con- sider very good at present, although hoving for still” better rates as we become better known in the money eenters. During the last year taxes have been well paid, and are as closely collected now as at this time last year—about 90 per cent of the recular list for the current year having been already paid. On the regular lists for the five years previous, viz.: ISS1 to 155 in- clusive, there remains unpaid only about 11-0 per cent. With this record of collee- tions L am particularly well pleased, Asan evidence of the inerease of city busi- ness, especially in this oflice, 1 will state that in my tirst monthly report, January, 1552 there were twenty-three accounts, and' in m last there are 2143 while the anuual receints and disbursements have increased fr m ahout 350,000 to nearly $1,500,000, 1 have but one recommendation to maae, and that is in regard to future 1ssues of dis- ct paving bonds. Since the change from the five to the ten installment plan there are more who pay up the paving taxes in full than before, and during the last year more or less 1dle money has aceumulated in the sinking funds tor the payment of district aving bonds. “I'his did not oceur under the ve installnient plan. 1 have done my best during the past winter to buy in some of these bonds, and have se- cured only $12,000 or $13,000 out of $40,000 sought for; these, by authority of the coun- eil, have been boughit and cancelled. As it seems almost lmpossible to buy in our bonds advantageously after they are once sold, I would recommend as a remedy, that in future issues of distriet paving bonds two or three times as many be made to mature in one T «s in each of the other years (two to nine). Most of those p-‘OTIe who will pay their paving taxes in full will do so during tle urst year, and the bonds that come due in one year will then absorb the money paid in and 1uu\'uul any large surplus.

The Pharmaceutical Association Gives an Elegant Oonoert and Ball, PRESIDENT REED'S ADDRESS, He Speaks Plain Truths in a Kindly Way—Yesterday's Proveedings of the Convention—New Officers to Be Chosen, Knights of the Mortar and Pestle. The association met yesterday morn- ing in the exposition building, Mr. Reed, of Nebraska City, being m the chair, The seeretary, C. J. Daubach, of Lin- coln, submitted the report for the last year. It showed that a number of de- linquent members had paid their ducs, while several members claimed that they bad paid their dues but had not been credited with same, He suggested that some action be taken to set this matter right. The secretary acknowlodged tho receipt of the prococdings of the phar ma- ceutical associations of lllinois, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Missouri, Wis- consin, lowa, Virginia, Massachusetts, Ohio, New Yurk, sas, Alabama. and Pennsylania. The present member- ship of the association is 103, while 115 applications made since the last meeting have been approved, making a list of 518 members. The old and new accounts of the association amounted to $424, and checks to that amount had been drawu in favor Treasurer Forsyth, in Omaha. Orders to the amount of $652.97 were drawn during the year upon the treas- . The expenses for the pastyear were higher than they will be during the suing year, by about two hundred and eighty-six dollars and fifty cents, which amount was paid to representatives to national conventions, and attorney’s fees on the pharmacy bill. The amount of money owinF to the association 1s $710. A number of members had removed dur- ing the year, and the secrotary suggested that some steps be taken to are the address of all members who have changed their place of business. The report was referred to the appro- priate committee. ommunication was read from the ident of the National Druggists’ as- i ng that be had ap- pointed Messrs. Goodman and Boise of Omaha as representatives of that associ- ation at the present meeting. Mr. Brown of Leavenworth, the father of pharmacy schools 1n Kansas, read a paper on that subject, the object of which was to secure the establishment of a pharmacy school 1n the state university, as has aiready been done in Kansas. He showed that™ educated physicians everywhere were earnest supporters of pharmacy laws and desired none but competent men to act as pharmacists, be- cause such men were valuable in aiding them in their curing diseases, The pass- agoof the pharmacy law was a step in the right direction. But that was not all that was required. They ‘could not by law make educated and intelligent druggists. law required of the pharmacist certain knowledge, but provided no means for him to acquire that knowledge. In the university at Lincoln, music, surveying, engineering, law and medicine were taught. Was not the education of the pharmacist of as much importance as either of the: It was not advisable for Nebras| zens to . go into another state to secure education when our state has a university of its own in which a pharmacist’s education eould be secured. Jruggists were taxpayers, and had a right to insist upon the university afford- 1ug them the means of education whi was under discussion. He favorea the establishment of a school ot the kind mentioned. Mr. Lane of Lincoln warmly com- mended Mr. Brown's paper, and on motion the same was ordered spread up- on the records. A paper by Mr. Boyden, of Grand Island, on “What is the General Quality of Herbs in the Market?” was read by Secretary Daubach and received. A di ion then ensued as to the best method of preserving essential oils. ‘The tollowing were adinitted to _mem bership: George Frahm, Hastings; Hiram Foble, Blair; N. W. Rees Schuyler; F. A. Webster, Bruneil; J. P. Buckuer, Pierce; J. E. Wilder, N W. W. Cole, Oak. dale. E. J . Elk Creek, and M. C. Hemington, Neligh. The exceutive committee made a re- port on the reports of the secretary and treasurer, finding that they were correet. An interesting paper on the trade’s in- terest was read by M. E. Schuit The committee on the president’s ad- dress reported that they commended his recommendations concerning a lite mem- bership and they advised that it be re- ferred to a special committee. They do not ag ‘manent secretary but think that the present secretary, C. J Daubach, should be re-elected.” They agree upon reducing the delegation to the National Retail Druggists’ associa- tion to one member. They agreed to the recommendation that the next meeting of the association should be held farther west, and designated Lincoln as the most suitable point, the meeting to be held on the second Tuesday in May, 1888, The report of the committee was adopted. Prof. Wall, of the National Druggist, of St. Louis, spoke of pereolation, deliv: ulrnu: a very interesting extempore ad- dress. The meeting then adjourned until 10 o’clock this forenoon, when the election of officers will be the' principal business. President Reed's Address. The address of President James Reed, of Nebraska City, before the State pharmaceutieal association on Tuesday was a very carefully prepared document and contained some excellent sugges- tions, A synopsis is here given: We find ourselves to-day celebrating the wooden wedding of our association, surrounded by prospects as fine 25 could be wished for. At our first meeting we had less than 100 members. Now we have 400, and to this number must be added those who join at this meeti To these splendid exhibits wh cupy this immense building we owe much of the suc of our meetings. During the y we ought to remember in a sub- stantial manner the eunterprise of the houses here represented. 1 would be very much gratified to see more general mterest taken in the dis- cussions as they come up. In a sense this is a school in which we are all inte ested, and each should take an active part, It is the practical and not the red tape of any association which yields good results. . A During the year we have accomplished one of the most important aims of our iation, that of having a pharmacy law passed, Our committee on legisla- tion have done a great work. We are under many obligations to Hon. Geo. McConaughy, of Stromsburg, who intro- duced the pharmacy bill. He was also chairman of the committee to which the bill was (referred and was always ready to act on any sugestion from the representatives of our association. Hon. B. M. Simms, of Alma, and Hon. W. L. Turner, of Creighton, & both drug- gists, and also of the committee to which the bill was referred did much to secure its' passage. W. C. Lane, of Lincoln, and H. D) Boyden, of Grand lsland, did much to aid in securing the needed legs- lation, We have a friend indeed in Gov- ernor Thayer who recognized the ncces- sity of a pharmacy law. ’I‘:hc law required ten mames from which to select five examiners and secre- tary to the board, We sent in, under the seal of the orgauization, the following: Max Becht, Omaha; H. D, Boyden, Grand Island; Henry CGook, Red Cloud; A, F. Streitz, North Bend: W, C. Lane, Li coln; M. E, Shultz, Beatrice; A. Ko Pawnee City; E, J. Seykora, Bend; J. Koingstein, Norfolk, C, Frahm, Hastings. The appointed board was Messrs, Lane, Boyden, Becht, Streitz and Cook. I am sure the standard of pharmacy in Nebraska will he elevated by the law. While it creates no-hardship on any one en :\fod in the profession in Nebraska, it will keep many put who are no credit to the craft. The insertion of an emergency clause in the bill made 1t necessary to send in tho names for examiners to be selected from, immediately. Had the original bill passed 1t would not have gone into effect for ninety days, but some feared that during that ninety days many whisky druggists of Kansas would have taken advantage of the opportunity offered and establish themselves in Nebraska. We as druggists have a responsibility not required in any other business None is more exacting. The druggi must be ready day and night. He must be at his post of duty on all days in the year. This, if for no other reason, i why a druggist should take a few d oft and attend the meeting of the assos tion each year. [ trust the time is not distant when every town in the state will be represented here. Many think the druggist charges high for his goods. They do not reflect that his sales 8 small, expenses large and that to qualify himself he must spend years of study. 1 claim that a man educated in a medieal college, only with the degree of M. D., is no more fit to practice pharmacy than a graduate of pharmacy is to practice medicine. Here and there a druggist kills by carelessness and the occurrence is widely echoed in the newspapers: but the files of every retail apothecary furnish exam- ples of illegible writing and ignorance of chemical incompatibility. )] or one life sacrificed by the drug clerk bu dreds are saved by him or his employer, who recognize tonic doses or improper combinations. The Missouri State Pharmaceutical as- sociation have a pian of hife membership which thoy place at 210 each. [ would suggest something of the kind for your consideration, Should enough think well of the life membership plan [ would suggestthat a special fund be made of these fees, Many of our western members think we ought to oceasionally meet west of the Missouri river towns. While I do not_think we could goto any city that could take such elegant care of the as- sociation as Omaha does, still we would cet with so hearty a welcome from our ern members that Tam inclined to think justice to them sugpests that we go out and see them. I presume many of you never saw the country out as far as Grand Island, Kearney or” Beatrice or Hastings. You would be very agreeably surprised at its beuty and amazed at the thriving towns. President Reed, then commended the Western Drug & ©il Gazette, published at Lincoln by Charlés J. Daubach. He referred to thé appointment of N. A. Kuhn, of Omaha, as u representative to act with the New York and Brooklyn committees of thd American association on the question of -unoflicial formulas. He recommended sending the secretary to sarly conferenée of all state asso- ciations, and that thé oflice of secretary be made permanent. He recommended sending but one delegate to the meeting of the American Pharmaceuti 550010~ tion. He also made other recommenda- tions looking to a reduction in expendi- tures, and ehisediwiptisan expression of the feeling of esteém and friendliness which he entortained toward all the members of the association. A Grand Ball The promenade concert and ball which was given by the Nebraska State Phar- maceutical association at the exposition building last evening was one of the most elegant and popular social events which has been enjoyed in Omaha dur- ing the past year. Fully 300 couples were present. The large space occupied by ex- hibits in the hall still left a spacious dancing floor next to the stage and around this chairs were arranged in such a way as to_accommodate all who were present. The Union Musical orches- tra, which contributed very largely to the pleasure of the occasion, occupied ~ the stage and consisted of the full complement of thirty-six pieces under the lead of H. T. Irvine, musical director. The promenade concert opened at 9 o'clock, and the following programme was exquisitely rendered by the orches- ra: Overture—Martha........... Musical Union Orchestra. Cornet solo—Sheplierd’s Morning Song Sappo . «Hinaley coeenadrvine. hone solo--Merriment (iallolv{. Flotow M Patrol—Comique Modley—Indenno, Xylov R v..uvre. Ringiobon Mr. M. R. Barnes.

The ladies were all tastefully and in many instances, elegantly dressed. A number were present from Lincoln and otber neighboring cities for the enjoy- ment of this especial occasion, The suc- cess of the affair demonstrated that the druggists are as skillful in arranging social aflairs as they are in compounding medicines. After Mr. Peck. Notwithstanding the card of Mr, Peck relative to selling diseased beef, a war- rant was issued for his appearance yes- terday afternoon. “It would save the county some expense, if he is so very innocent, if he only would come around where an oflicer could see him,"” rid a prominent citi- zen ) “1 think this man Peck has been doing this business for a long time.”" Oftice# Gdrk will start out with a warrant this morning. The Stereopticon Faited to Work, General George Stimpson’s illustrated lecture on Colorado, to have taken place at the opera house last evening, not realized. The stercgpticon appa with which the speakey intended to illus- trate the glories of Molorado seenery, failed to work satisfacforily on trial and could not be arranged to do so in time. The lecture was accordingly postponed until next Monday evening. AMUSENENTS, To-night, John Bdpth, the stage car- penter at Boyd's opers house, will re- ve a benefit, the piece to be produced being “Waiting For'the Verdict.” This isan interesting melo-drama, revealing the relations between landlord and tenant in England. Friends in Bereavement. Mr, A.

Another Sidewalk Suit Against the City—A Surveying Party Ducked —Omahans Who Will Do the Continent, United States Court. The grand jury reported in United States district court yesterday and vre- sented sixindictments, One was against Antoine Barada, a half-breed, charged with robbing a store on the Sac and Fox Indian agency. Hce was arraigned and pleaded not guilty. Counsel was assigned him., The other five indictments ~ were against Richard- son county farmers who are charged with conspiring to prevent the execution of the court's order of sale on execution of the property of Wm. Whit comb in favor of a judgement held by W. L. Gandy who is represented by his brother, Dr. J. L. Gandy, of Humboldt. Two of the indicted parties were under urrest yesterday and all five will prob- ably bein on an early morning train to be arraigned.
