THE OMAHA DAILY BEEL% ‘RIDAY, MAY 99, 1801, ¥ ENDED IN A GREAT FEASI. b Businoss Mon Wind Up Their Session at the ' Bungnet Board OMAHA AS SHE WAS AND IS AT PRESENT, b Advantages of the Metropolis and Its Importance to Nebraskn -Some B Timely Specches Made by Business Men, - Omaba is all right. This was the verdict rendered last night by the Nebraska State Business Men's s- sociation, and it showed that the clear- sighted and enorgetic gentiemen who cor- prise that orgauization kuow a good thing when thoy seo it After three days of business deliberation tho association closed its second annual con- vention yesterday afternoon to accept the in vitation of the jobbers, manufacturers and packers of Omaha and Sonth Omaha for & trip to the DMagic City to inspect the mammoth packing hous Owing to the rain which was falling heavily when they returned to this City, they de cided to forgo the pleasure of the carriage drive that had been arranged by the enter- talnment committee, The closing event of the business men's visit to this city was one well worthy of the occasion. It was a banquet tendered to the city’s guests at the Miflard, and in guage of the profane historian, it was “away upin G.” Co were laid for 160 guest 1 it was 8 goodly array of representative Nebraskans that were seated around that banguet board The tables were arranged in three rows down the loug diuing hall, and At the head table was seated Mayor R. C. Cushing, who oficiated a8 toast master,and on his right wero A i E. Rosewater, Waltor N, Keenan, 0. J. King, George H. Webstor and R. ¥. Hodvin, while upon the left were Messrs. Thomas Kilpat rick, J. K. Lee, L. C. Maxwell, S. S. Evg- lish ana J. S, Bishop. The dining room presented a pleasing ap pearance as the guests of the ovoaing en- tered and were shown to then seats, Costly china and shining silver wero only less at- tractive than the many elegant vases of rare cut flowers that so liberally adorned the tables, ‘I'heir richness of color and de licious fragranco were all that was needed 0 make the scene almost. an had the elegant spread tha ot than it was, The following excellent menu was seryed fo the Miliard’s inimitable Mock T ideal one, even was to follow licod Cucumibers, #weet Broad Croguattes. Mushrooms, Yillet of Boef, Neapolitaine, Greon Peas, ASparigus, Medoe. Chicken S Tmperial I Snipe Lurded, au ¢ Julienne Potatoes. Assorted Cnk illn Tee Croam, Srawberries. Coffee, Cigurs Perhaps the only criticism that could be ande would be that the menu was a trifie 100 long, but at 11 o'clock the cigars were lighted, and the toastmaster arose to execute the duties devolving upon him. He gazed regretfully after the waiters who were escorting the last of the empty dishes wmnm unknown regions in the rear, and said: “‘Business Men of the State of Nebraska: I had the hounor a few days agoto bid you welcome to our city, and tonight T am proud to see tho business interests of the state so well represented here. You are the men on ‘whom depends the honor of the state at home and her credit abroad. Tonightis but the beginning of the grand end that will be the + result of the work of your association. The el-shlm? of ideas in your meetings will result in good for the'state. Iam not here to make @ speech tonight, but 1o see that others do their duty 1o that direction. and I s6e that the first toast on tho progr mm» is ‘Omaha,’ and it will be responded to uy Hon. B. Rosewater, who was never known to make & prohibition $peech.” r. Rosewater was warmly greeted and spoke as follows: “Mr. Toastmnster and Gentlemen of the ,State Business Men’s Association—1I cannot speak about Omaha without recalling the past, which rises like a dream before my mind. 1see myself bound for the struggling town of Omaha in the territory of Nebraska, and finally arrive as the terminus of the then nearest railrond at St. Joe. I was brought up the big mwuddy stream in an an- clent steamboat that carried the trafic for the western oountry. ‘We stuck on sand bars, and got loose only to 1and on another sand bar, when seven days out and within sixteen miles of Nebraska City. “rom there we came by wagon and stage coach to Omaha, We passed Bellevue, and in the distance a large white bailding was vointed out as the old territorial capital on Capital hill. The road ran down through ravines, through which the coach rattlod at ternfic speed, and finally upset near where Judge Hascall's house now stands on South ‘Thirteeuth street. We put up at the then best hotel in the city, the Doug- las house, a palatial one story barn, whero sevoral of the prominent aitizens and bankers of the Omaha of today were boarders. Down the. streets were blocks of one-story buildings, and on one of them was the sign of Kountze Brothers bank- Ing exchange, “The old_postoMico is probably the only brick buiiding of that time thatis now stand- fng with the exception of the cne afterward remodelled and now the Union Pacific head- quarters, $Omaha was then a city of 4,000 0r5,000 in- habitants, and the mails came by stage or river and were sometimes cut off by snow- storms for several days. The tele- graph passed through ~here with its first travs-continental wire. I remem- ber golug down to the river bank where @ large coucourse of people were gathered and some dirt was shovelled, « while & man 1n a red shirt mounted a wagon and predicted that some day 10,000 people would make this city their home. That was A. J. Poppleton. [Applause.| When George Francis Train said the day would come when he numbered in the population of Omaha they called him crazy. Tho vista of years pusses, and a year or two later I can see the business Louses all closed, and the citizens armed with muskets were gatbered together to resist the attack of In- dions, re in the city of Omuha in 1 co hind @ pop- ulation of 5,000. That was twenty-six years Ago, when the great poet, John G. Saxe, ap- piied this deseription 1o the city: S e e T P ¥ when the pl Hast ever boen to Omana, Where flows the dark Missourt down, Where four stroug horses searce oun draw Aucmpty wagon thro' the town?

Ten yoars #go there was no paviug, no sew- ers, ‘no water works here. Today Omaha has' the finest paved streets of auy ety of her sizo in America, We have a system of water works with an origival capacity of 4,000,000 daily, and now of 25,000,000, with machiaer) that will give a capacity of 105,000,000 gal- lons daily, The water works company bas Just put in the largest pump in America ata cost of §160,000,, It will pump 20,000,000 gal- lons per day, aud is & marvel. If you go out L thero and see the machinery you ) would be surprsed that auy oity L would have such an lmmense plant. A gentleman from Rochester who was out there Sunday told we that bis aty, which is of aAbsut Lhe same size as Omaba, bad nothing whiat would compare with it. “Omahe’s streot radlwa, o the finest of of any eity of 150,00 popuiation fn the coun- try.

In the way of manufacturers we cannot boast of ns much as theolder cities In the east, but awonderful amount s done here. We did 4,000,000 business in that directiontiast year, of which $20,000,000 represents the' smelter, Wwhich has uo superior on the globe. ix years ago the city of South Omaha, the Magie City, was auly a farm, with one or two houses, where now is a population of 10,000, and some of the finest packing houses i Anjerica, Twonty years ago one smail house, with” a total capital of #2000, was al Omaba had of that branch of business, and six years ago Jam es B.

They now slaughter 5,514 o and nearly 16000 hogs in a y, and last year thoy handled 60,000 cattle, 1,703,000 hogs, 156,000 sheep, and 7,40 lorses at the South Omaha stockyards. Theso figuros speak for themselves of e ergries properly directed. “Four or five business men gol together with their heads, shoulders and purses and subscribed o bonus 0 f §750,000 to induce east- caritilists to come here and start pack- ing interests thatare now thethird and bid t 10 become the se next two years. *Our biwks have constantly on deposit ond in the world in the £15,000,000 and_§50,000,00 annually passes through the clewring house.

It ndoed, a dificult proolem and one in which we, as wholesile merchants, are doubly interested. I am told that the method adopted a yearago is a good one, but you must never forgel that the best way to avoid bad debts is to sell for cash. This has boon a bad year for businessund, I may add, had it not been for paticuce, mutual help and for- bearance we would have had many more falures both here and clsewhere. As it is we have had a good many. L am confideat as any one can be, who does not absoutely know the ' future, that we are entering upon @ season of prosperity. Itrust that you may all re- turn to our city next ycar and that then we may all rejoice together in our good fortune.’? Mr. 8. S, English responded to the toast “Our Guests,” in which he said : “Itis said by an-aucient wise man that he who hesitates is lost. So when your com- wittee camo and asked mo to respond on be- half of Omaha, while feeling sorry for you Ul, I declimel to hesitate for fear of bemng lost. 1f I had the tongue of an Ingersol, I might express my thauks to you for your royal entertainment, but the thoughts will not come. We are so infatuated with you that we should like to_live with you always. Your gates were opened wide, you beckoned and we came, we saw and were conquered. The business men from all over the state all say that they are proud of Omaha. There will be no cessation of tho praise which we shall give Omaha upon our return home. Nothin, has been left undone which couls be done. Go on and, as we go with you let us be mu- tually proud of each other,’ ‘The toast, *‘Our Association,”” was re- sponded to by Mr. J. S. Bishop. He said: “I see all around these tables the best bus- iness men of the state of Nebraska. I am proud to be permitted to be hereandam proud that we have such a mafinificent city 10 meot in. We have been royally enter- tained durivg our short st Our assoxaton is for our mu- tual good “and benefit. The middle men of the United States bave been among the last to come together and join hands for their own benofit. ““Tonight we are two years old, and I pre- dict that in asother year we shall have doubled our braiches and our membership. Wo haveall derived a benefit from this meet- ing. In compuring notes we gain Some knowleage and much useful information. Much good has been accomplished by our mecting, and in goinz back to our homes we shall carry withus a pleasant remembrance of Omahd. [ hope the middle men of the United States wiil soon meet in national con- vention. The resultof such a meeting would be to solve the vroblem of bad deals.” Mr. Louis Heimrod was called upon to re- spond, but was so "hoarse that he could scarcely speak, consequently he made ouly an apology. Major Cusbhing then decided the meeling adjourned. FOR CHEAPER INSURANCE, the Benefit of State Merchants, Plans for ‘The business men’'s convention was callea to order at 9:30 yesterday morning by Vice President King, Tho first busiess taken up was a discn sion of the feasibiiity of grganizing u west- ern association comprising the states west of the Mississippi and that they correspond with the National Girocers’ association, ask- ing them to cooperate in the formation of a national business association. Oa motion of Mr. Hodgin a committes of three, Mr. King of Lincoln, Hussey of Omata and Friend of Humboldt was ap- pointed to devise ways and means of pro- cedure. , Following this came a discussion of the in- surance question. Secretary Hodgin stated that the iaea of a1+ to business fire insurance company was 4 question of very sober thought, but ‘as the question had been brought up before the con- vention & plan might be formulated that would prove a success. He thought tho only step to be taken was 10 appoint & committee, 1o report at the next annual couvention. Mr. Euglish thought the question s vital one, but was opposed to the convention tak- ing ‘auy action now toward organizing a com- paoy, as there remained oo much worl completing the organization. He would favor, a committee to investigate and report at the next convention, however. Mr. Leo of Fromont, always looked with a good deal of suspicion on new companies, If tho associatbn will raise tho required $100,000 capital it would surely be u good thung. If we were thoroughly on our foet aud could insure the business men of the stato at a loss rate thau they are now getung ity it would surely result ‘in 1mmeasurable good. Mr, Rawlins of Walkefield wanted to know if the wsurance business would be properly in the line of tho work of this association, Mr. King of Lincoln said he had alw thought the imsurance rates in Nebraska aboutdouble what they ought to be. He felt, however, that mutual ‘insurance cowpanie s were not successful. If the business men would raise the capital they might make & success out of a company. But the risks should be Iimited and the utmost care exor- cised in preparing a code to govern such an enterprise. | Mr. Bonowa of Omaha, said the malter would require time, and could not ba mist- ered in an hour or a day. It is a great ques- tion in the business world. The question of insurance and rate is something that men of long experience must handle. We have rites in Omaha as high as 7 per cent. He wold not take such risks, as he was certain of in- curring loss for his company. It is a hird uestion to handle, and ‘would requin a thorough investizgation. The mutual plan is out of the question in this state. M. Baldwin of Lincoln, thought the con- vention should confine itseif to the insuraice agaiost bad debts, Do not think that freight rates, running the state legislature, and fire insurance stould cut any figure in this wn- vention, Mr. Hodgin comefdod with or. Baldwin, but thought the best disposition of the ques- tion would be in the ap; mittee to make rosear: next convention one w ointment of a com- | report at the ¢ or the other. | Mr. King said that it would be an instrict- | ivething for this committee in their investi- | | | gation to find out what the insurance wm- panies were making on their risks in this state. What is thelr actual per cent of giin or loss, Mr. Benawa said the premiums paid inthe city of Omaha last year was about $100,00. Mr. Travis of Lincoln was opposed to this insurance suggestion and thought the con vention should make an exclusive study of | the merchanizing business. Mr. Bisnop of Lincoln don’t know much bout iusurance, but has thoughtof it a litle, many difficulties in the way of forning amutual insurance company. Believes our merchants, how Are paying too much, | and that something o1zht to be done nbout it Shouldn't be hasty, but give the matter proper thought in ail its phases, and next year, with more delegates, more enthusiisim and more money, if we see our way clear in | the ance business, theu we can take de- cisive steps in the watter. Would favor the appointment of a committeo. Mr. English moved the matter of insurance be left, to & committee consisting of HBenuwa, | Bishop and Hodgin. Adopted. | How to collect and how to make safe cred- its was next discussed. Mr. Hodgin said one of the best plans for collections and credit: the credit book as adopted by the Fremont branch, which con- taius & report weekly, monthly and ye collections and credits. Mr. Hardy from Lincoln thought the proper way was for employers to mako their emn. their debts. . English was of a like opinion. Travis of coln said when he hirs a man ne expects him 1o pay his dovts. Aftera long and interesting discussi thesubject by the members of the ¢ tion it was laid over for further cousideration at a future oay. The following adopted Resolved, That it is the senseof thoNe. braska State Business Men’s association that not less thun $100,000 should be raised by pri- resolution was offered and to the 0,000 aporopriated by the legislatn re for the purpose of making a proper displiy of Nebraska products and attractions at the world’s fair, and Resolved, That the president be and is hereby authorized to appoint a committee of five to co-operate with a like committee of other organizations heroufter appointed, in furthering efforts Jooking to a proper repre. s(‘runion of Nebraska interests at the world’s rair. The special committes appointed to reporl on the raising of funds reported as follows : We have investigated the plan proposed by the Commercial directory company thatis to setasido one dollar for each member in the county where the number of members excoed the costs, and a fair profit to the Commercia directory company for transacting the busi- ness. We believe it to be a feasible plan and we recommend its adoption. Adopted. The committee to whom was referred the matter of forming a westorn business men's association recommended that the general secrotary be instructed to correspond with other business men’s associations on this ct. Further, that if possible, sail or- gavizavon be formed on principles sinilar to those governing the Nebraska State Busi. ness Men’s association. Kurther that tho parties endeavoring to organize the National Grocers association be asked that they co- operate with the association in forming a National Business Men’s association o in- clude asses of business, and the general secretary report at the next state convention.

The arrangements for the line are so nearly completed that it is stated on good authority that some of tho new vessels will bo in commission as early as 1802, The syn- dicate back of the enterprise reprosents a capital of $,000,000. It is the intention to build ten steel steamships, which at first wiil run between Chicago and the English coast. By the time the whole ten are completed the expectation is to extend the route so as to in- clude Hamburg and Bremen.

JUDGE COOLEY'S TLLNESS. “Judge Cooley, chnirman of the interstate commerce commission, is a very sick man," ia Judge Knapp, also a member of the co! mission, at the Palmer house. “To tell the truth, I fear he wili never preside at avother meeting of the commission. He is seventy yoars of age uow and his life's work is be- ginning to leave its trace We have waited for him a day or so, but as the advices re- ceived this morning state that he is no better we will go to work without a chair- man. Judge Cooley has worked incessantly all his life and no labor could be more trying than the duties involved in the chairmanship of the interstate commerce commission, 1 do not like to cause any alarm, but it is my judg- ment that Judge Cooley will not be abie to resum® his work with us, if he recovers at all. He is mow at homo at Ann Arbor, Mich., where be is coufined to his bed most of tho time. Should he retire from active work the government will lose one of its wisest, ablest and most conscientious ser vants."

The Washington street tununel was the scene of an exciting accident at seven o'clock last night which = but for the presence of mind of the passengers would have resulted in serious injury and. death to a number of passengers. At that hour the tunucl was nearly full of trains and two or three stopped in thé middle of the tunnel to allow those in advance to get outof the way. Asaheavy loaded Madison avenue car entered the tun- nel the gripman, seeing the tran ahead of him, attempted to stop his train, but the brakes refused to work and the train slid down the incline and smashed into a train, causing a bad smash, The women screamed and the occupants of the cars scrambled out and all rolled together on the ground. Many were scratched and bruised. H. Odea, who was not quick enough, was caught the wreck and sustained internal injucies. It was two hours before the track was cleared. SHOT DY A SPRING GUN.

Ball's office room, Lifo bulding, on next p. m. John B. Sawhill committoe at ) New York Friday at 4:80 GOl KINGDOM, House Tells What 1t is Like Now and Forev Rev. T. M. House of Chamy merly pastor of the Flirst Methodist church of this city, proached in the new church at tne corner of Twentioth and Davenport, last night to a fair sized audience. He took text from the eighteenth chapter of John, The particular words quoted for the central thought wer 1y Kingdom is Not of this World." The speaker said thac Christ had been solicited to beeome tha carthly King of the Jews and assume regal grandeur, but this he refused. His words, however, did not mean that his kingdom should not be connected in ¢ way with the world or should not be set on earth. The words meant to convey the fuct that Chirist’s kingdon was different from all_eartbly kingdoms, The speaker then the kingdom kingdoms and flourished and Rev, T. on toshow how from the arisen, went of Christ differed that bad and how 1t would always be different from any earthly King- dom. The kingdom of Christ, the speaker said, was not patterncd ' after anything human, was not born of man’s wisdom and - did not como as the result of war or bloodshed or states- manship. While ecarthly kingdoms were bounded by rivers and mountains and were at all times 1n danger of retrogression and ¥, the kingdom of Christ was world wide slernal. rthly kingdoms might crumble to pieces our own beloved republic might give way to the encroachments of infidelity or in- temperance and go down in ruin, but the kingdom of God, tho speaker heid, would eventually fill the whole carth and spread poace and happiness over ail croation.
