BOARD OF TRADE WAKES UP, Whe Foundation Lald For a Promis- ing Boom. LAST NIGHT’S MONTHLY MEETING A Good Attendance and a Great Deal of Enthusiasm Manifested—Plans and Suggestions Promptly Acted Upon. The Board of Trade. Tast night's regular monthly meeting of the boarda of trade was well attended, dnd considerable business was disposed of. Owing to the absence in Chicugo of Presi- dent Tler, First Vice President Meday pre- sided, and Secretary Nattinger was at his post. Mr. Nason, of the manufacturer's committee, gave a brief resame of what the committee has done. He complained that they bad met with a great many obstacles when trying to encourage and locate manu- facturing interests in the city, chiefly from sub-committees and ain property holde They should meet with better encourage- ment, and Mr. Nason suggested that if they can not get help from the members of the ‘board it would be a good idea to employ an agent to do soliciting. There are a number of manufacturers anxious to locate in Omaha, 1 all that is required is that they be inducement. A coffin manu- ware worker and others e solicitous of jocuting here. The tinware worker asks that the citizens of Omaha take stock in the enterprise, und Mr. Nason thought it would be u good iden to send & man 10 his present location and inquire fully into his business and of what benefit it would be to Omaha. The other industries that want 10 locate here that the manufacturers com- mittee have under cousideration are, a soap factory, a tool manufacturing company, & linen and crackar factory, knitting machine works, washing machine and the Omaha im- plement manufacturing company. Mr. knnon deplored the fact that the committee had been misrepresented ns having personal ends in view when trying to secure sites for enterprises wishing to come to Omaha, and thought it a severe reflection on the members, who have the interests of the city at heart, Two different reaper companies, a boot and shoe factory, a lubricating oil refinery and terra cotta works were also described by the speaker as wanting to establish hel In conclusion Mr. Nason again begged for a $iore Mseral cooperation f the board, and made o number of suggestions, Mr. Wheeler, of the same committee, also eomplained of the searcity of the funds, and Informed the board that unless more éncour- agement was given them financially he would withdraw from the committee. Mr. Hitchcock rose to inquire what the revenues of the board were. A full explana- tion was made by the secretary. prof and heated éxchange of views ‘was then indul, in between Mr. Hitcheock and Mr. Max Meyer, the latter insisting that the debt on the building should be paid and the money mot contributed promiscuously here and there. Colonel Chase voiced Mr. Meyer's senti- ments and said the board was neither a de- bating school or & city council. It was a pri- vate corporation. Mr. Walkefield gave the history.of the ex- isting debt of the board in connection with the chamber of commerce building, and said they were dealing with clannish people who demanded their money the minute it was due. He favored personal subscriptions for the use of the manufucturers committee. Mr. Wheelor was not in favor of spendi any of the legitimate revenucs of the boar for encouraging manufacturers to locate ere. Mr. C. F'. Goodman -offered the following fesolution, Resolved, That the committee on manufac- turers be authorizod to send an expert to ox- amine any manufacturing enterprise that de- sires to locate in Omaha and which asks for 80 locating a bonus or that the citizens here take stock in the same, and that the reasona- ble expenses of such person be paid by the board of trade upon proper voucher. Mr. E. Rosowater aaid that, the resolution ~was out of order as the report of the commit- 100 on manufacturers had not been adopted. Max Meyer moved that the resolution be adopted, but before the motion could be put Colonel’ Chase arose to combat its passage. He defended the board of trade against the assaults made upon 1t, and said that the board would see to it that the city grew and prospered if it was not cried down aund overridden by those who were always ready to criticize and find fault. Mr. E. Rosewater said he regarded tho Goodman resolution as loosely drawn, and offered a8 a substitute ‘“That the chairman of the committee on manufacturers is requested to prepare and present at the next meeting of the board a scheme for the organization of % permanent bureau of manufacturers, to bo presented to this board at its next meeting, said board to be composed of fifteen mem- bers, empowered to solicit subscriptions from wembers and citizens for the encouragement of the establishment of mills aud factories in this city.” The substitute was accepted by Mr. Good- man and passed by the board. On motion of Mr, Rosewater a meeting of the board will be held on Monday night next to hear the re- port of the committee. On motion of Max Meyer ufacturers’ committeo were allowed to defray the expenses of pert to go to Keokuk, la., to gote the business of a munufacturing concern that wants to establish in Omaha, The president was directed to appoint a committeo of five to look over the sites sug- &ested for the: Chautauqua assembly. They are Colonel Chase, Mayor Broatch; Messrs, Hitcheock, Merriam and Eva The nction of. the board of divectors at their mecting some weeks ago in reference to cor- tain clauses contained in the inter-state com merce law, ull of which have been fully printed in the Bxe, was concurrod in by the ar. Mr. E, Rosewater withdrew his motion for & meeting next Monday night, and accepted a_substitute of Mr. Clark that it be held March 26, when the amendinents to the by- laws will be considered aud adopted. T'he following resolution by Mr. Hitcheock ‘was adopte Resolved, That this board of trade endorses and approves the effort of the Omaha devel opment bureau to adyertive the city of Omaha and urges upon individusl members of th's board and citizens generally to subscribe liberally to a fund for the use of suid bureau to the extent of 10,000 or §15,000, said de yelopmeunt bureau to report its expenditures 10 this board. The meoting then adjourned. AMUSEMENTS, “RANCH KING' AT THE GRAND, This piece has all the well known features of the frontier drama with some that are not altogether worn threadbare. One of these is an acting dog which readily establishes him- 1f us a favorite. The company is well up in its busiess and though not excelling in aerit give an entertuinment of average in- terest.

The limits to which in our report we must necessarily be confined forbids mention, we regret to say, of several most interesting cases coming under our observation, the nar- ration of which, if only it might be indulged, would, it is belioved, give an impulse to larger Christian endeavor in this _di- rection, - Pending completion nat - Mil- ford of the institution to this object arranged for h{ the legislation of last winter (but which will not be ready for occupancy under a period of some eighteen months yet) pledges to the amount of §13 of the §0 per month deemed necessary for thesupport here of a temporary home, have already been made by our unions throughout the state, thus leaving us to dependence, for the addi: tional aid required, upon the benevolence of those holding our aims worthy of their char- itable msmw‘fi The vacancy occurring in our advisory board we are happy to announce as having been filled through appointment to the position of one who has largely befriended our work—Mr. G.

Adopted. At the afternoon session the bill passed to resume and recover to the United States all lauds and vights to lands granted the state by the act of congress of May 12, 1864. ‘The bill passed to logalize the independent school district of Greenwood, Chickasaw county, The bill passed to change the time of meeting of local boards of health, “The bill was engrossed providing that milk not containing more than 88 per cent of watery fluid or less than 12 per cent, of amilk solids, of which 8 per cent shall be fats, shall be deemed pdulterated. The bill was ordered engrossed providing that court calendars for the use of the court shall only be printed at the order of the board of supervisors. The bill passed providng that ballots which have pasters placed over the printed name on the ballot shall be. rejected. The bill passed providing that ten persons may find a verdict in civil cases. SENAT At the morning session the Sweney sub- stitute for section 9 of the Sweney railroad bill was further amended, allowing free transportation to the household effects of rail- road employes and granting reduced rates to Sisters of Charity, The substi- tute provides, aside from these amendments, that nothing in the act should apply to handling of property of the United States, or any al government, t0 excursion rates to' fairs, exhibitions, or to the issuance of mileage, excursion, or com- mutation tickets; or prohibit. reduced rates to ministers, or passes to employes and fam- ilies. ‘Woolson, of Henry, says that the bijl as amended is 80 nearly in line with his substi- tute and position on” section 8, that he can support the bill, Senator McCoy offered an amendment to sec- tion 10, which places the fine for convietion of amisdomeanor at not less than §200 nor more than §1,000. The amendment is us follows: “Provided, that making or giving the same of substantially the same rates or tariffs by a common carrier over long lines from any point in Towa, for carrying or transporting freight or passengers to competing points or localities in Towa, that is given to another common carrier over a shorter line to such points, shall not be construed to be a prefer- ence, advantage, prejudice or discrimination under the provisions of this act,” Senate adjourned. At the afternoon session the resolutions in- troduced on Suturday by Dodge, relating to the death of T. J. Potter, were adopted. On continuation of the special order, the Sweney bill, Sweney spoke against the amendment to scction 10 offered by McCoy this morning, on the grounds that it pe mitted discriminations in favor of localities,a state of affairs they have been endeavoring 0 avoid, Competition often resultz in dis- cerimination, Hutchinson said he had heard no reason why the amendment would work to the in- jury of any locality. If the amendment Wwotld do no other good, it would put the state in definite shape, and he thought it should be adopted. Bolter expressed himself in fayor of the bill, but thought competition necessary, and that the amendment expressed the correct principle, Under the provisions of the bill as at present, the railroads might be able to haul between competing points, but the lan- guage is ambiguous, and the amendment makes the meaning plafn Price was against the awendment in any ease. Finn objected to the amendment. No one could tell or determine what constituted a competing point. The amendment would allow a railroad running from Des Moines to the Minnesota line and then down to Council Bluffs to charge the same rate as an air line. Young spoke against the McCoy amend- went, holding that it would destroy the effect of the law, He said that the bill alre adf mitted competition, and that the amendment would allow discriminations. He termed the amendment a “‘blanket license,” to carry on discriminaticns. No one could define com- peting points. There was no such thing as competition in a state. After some discussion a vote was taken on the McCoy amendment, which stood, yeas 23, nays 21, Sweney filed a protest against the adoption of the amendwment, .

Mr. Breckenridge of Kentucky, raised the pomt of order against the resolution, that it was not privileged, and the speaker pro tem sustained the point.

Probably it would not be worth while for me to godown, but if, as Iam in- clined to believe, he intends remaining south until April, I might run down to see him.” George Gould said the run across the At- lantic was doubtless a good one for he had calculated that running fourteen knots. an hour would take six days and thirteen hours to make the passage, that as the trip had taken eleven hours more than that they have probably had pretty good weather, . St gl ‘Method of Electing Delegates. Prrssure, March 12.—In answer ‘to re- peated requests for a ruling as to the method of electing congressional district delegates to the next republican national convention, B. F. Jones, chairman of the national republican committee, while believing that the action of the republican national convention of 1884 is 80 plain as to require no ruling, has, in defer- ence to these requests, sent out the following letter. It will be noted it simply repeats the action of the convention of 1854 on this point, which action was embodied in the call for the convention of 1883: “Under the action of the national republican convention of 1884 (see official proceedings, page 82), whatever has been the method of nominating'members of congress in any district is the manner in which congressional delegates representing that district must be chosen,” 1ts Superior excellence proven in millions of homes for more than a quarier of century, Tt 15 used by the United States Goverament.
