Best ¥Friend -Utility of Jadiclous Advertising—Topics Treated. the Opinton that i E While the old soldiers were strewing the vos of their fellow comrades with floral ‘membrances yesterday the State Business association indulged ina flowery dis- ay of rhetoric and tossed a fow forget-mo- /s on commercial subjects. There was some talk of adjourning out of spect for the day so sacred to the hearts the brave boys in blue, but the time was limited that it was finally decided to pro- ed with the program of the convention, Yesterday's sessions were notable for the terest displayed in the discussion of the bjects presented. Many of the delegates pd overcome their modesty of the previous ening. Th hawed out” during the rning session, and in the afternoon there 18 a spirited rivalry on the part of many to @ who could talk the most. 'This inspired neral interest. Among the subjects, ably 'scussed, woro those of manufacturing, the ddler system, press and commorce, exhibit qains and the credit system. The sessions 'steraay were happily harmonious. In the rening the delogates attended the manufac- krers exposition at the Coliseum. ! To Abate the Peddler Nulsance. LAt the morning session the' program for 0 entire meeting was adopted. The question of disposing of the peddler ‘usiness was ably handled by J. C. tort. He also took hola of the supply ouses with a firm grip. He belioved A making the local icense us high as pos- ible 80 that tho peddiers could not afford to 0 business. Mr. Dort recited the erience of his community with a suppl Louse agent. Ho held that the misrepre- entation practiced by the agents for supply ouses did a_vast amount of damage to the :gitimate business. Mr. John Hussey was of the opiaion that e peddler nuisance could be overcome by ublishing the list of prices given by the 1pply houses by the side of the regular re- ail prices of the legitimate retail dealer. 1 this way the absurd claims of the supply gent would be exploded. Patronize the Home Pres bC. R. Glover of Long Pine believed in haking a friend and ally of tho local press nd by such assistance exposing to the pub- ¢ the absurdity and injustice of patronizing eddlers and foreign supply houses. “There ve lots of retail merchants who never pay Jneir home paper a cent. How do they ex- ct the editor and publisher of their local per to make a living if the people of the 5wn refuse to patronize the advertising col- 82" The question of how to secure manufactur- )g institutions was presented by R. A. pempster of Beatrice. He covered the sub- B 'ct quite thoroughly, speaking of the suc- ko5 that had attended the efforts put forth t Beatrice, Kearnoy, Gothonburg, Grand sland and Omaha. 'The following special committce was ap- rointed to present a long petition to the rail- onds asking that the custom of permitting j.upply houses and peddlers to use the freight depots as storo houses be stopped: J. C. Dort, D. A. Coyth. A. M. Hostetter, J. A. Wilcox and R. F. Hodgin, Business Man's Best Friend, At the afternoon session Chairman Seott of the committee on credentials submitted his report, which was adopted unanimous At the request of the presiding officer, Vice President King of Lincoin officiated as vhairman of the convention during the remainder of the afternoon. He announced “that the committee on resolutions, as ap- ’I)%in'.ed. consisted of J. S. Bishop of Lincoln, omas Rawlings of Wakefield, J. H. Galley of Columbus, L. G. Faulkerson of Fremont, George R. Hammond of North Platte. The committee was requested to report all reso- lutions at today’s session. Chairman King then announced that the R program for the afternoon would be the reading of papers on commercial subjeets. @Ho nvited a general discussion and inter- change of ideas on each subject, as read. M J.G. Casebeer of Blue Springs read an gible paper on “The Local Press and Its fitelation to Commerce.” The author evi- ently had given the subject much considera- kion and his views seemed to meet the approval of his fellow delegates. The sub- tance of his sentiment was to the effect hat the success of a commercial municipality cpended largely on the local press. Ho aid that the editor and the business man jbould maintain harmony and mutual en- pouragement. The press and commerce hould be inseparable allies in every com- unity. The Beo for Instance. Mr. Casebeer cited the fact that Tue Ber ad been a powerful aid in building up the ity of Omaha and the ssive monument of rosperity occupied by Tie BEE was ouly one i many other large buildings that were rocted ~ becauso the city was a prosperous hunicipality, made so by the press and com. perco. In conclusion, Mr. Casebeer advised rery business man to encourage the local and also believed that the press always uphold the local mterests of he community in which 1t existed. While Nebraska towns wore not gateways of e like Omaha, he believed thateach ould receive its share of prosperity if the a3 and the business men formed a mugual lmiration, copartnery and co-operatod for pe advancement of local interests, ' Mr. Casebeer's paper was fully discussed, ‘horo seemed to be a remarkablo unanimity £ opinion that he was correct in his idens, J.

Virtuo of Judlolous Advertising, Mr. Eoglish said that if merchants adver- ised properly and brought the press in close outract with commerce in their com- unities, there would not be any merchants itting cross-legged on their counters and cowling at dull trade, J.

President Clark of the Union Pacific, looking vory much better than when he left Omaha for the east, wasat his office yos- terday morning endenvoring to catch up with the business that had accumulated in his absence. Talking to a Bee man, Mr. Clark thought that the decision in the uuion depot caso was detrimental to the interests of Omaba, but wondered littlo at the decision, as Omaha had always stood in her own light, hesaid, when great questions of public policy were presented for serious consideration. “Will you carry tho caso into the higher er. y." roplied Mr. Clark, the matter over with my peo- pl Vill you consider the proposition of building a new depot at the foot of Farnam street? “If my understanding of the decision is correct the court rules that the depot must be built as at present located, else the ground is forfeited to the cit, Under these circumstances our hands ed and Omaha is without a depot. 1 belie end will feel w 15 clear! wrong done the Union Pacific company in taking the stand it has.

Smith of the Missouri Pacific had resigned, Mr. Clark replied that he presumed the gentleman had felt that he was pushed aside for another man and under the circumstances sent in his resignation without ascertaining what the intention of the company was. Ho spoke warm words of praise of Mr. Doddridge, the new general manager of the Missour1 Pacific, and of Mr. Horace G. Clark, the newly anpointed general superintendent who succeeds Mr. W. Dickinson. The latter, Mr.Clark said, was one of the oldest division superintondents on the system, hav- ing been with him during his entire connec- tion with the road, succeeding Mr. Drake as superintendent of the St. Louis division with greater powers than the position gave, “Heisa man about 40 yearsof age,” said the president ‘and trained in tho practical duties of railrouding.” “*Tho St. Louis l{e ublic states that you will remove your family this summer to Omaha?” “So I observe,” replied the imperturbable president. Missour: Pacific Changes. Missouri Pacific circles were considerably stirred up yesterday by the announce- ment and its confirmation by President Clark, one of the directors of the company, that A.

Special to Tur Bee.]—~A queer situation of affairs developed at the council mecting last evening. Some years since an oxtensive contract was lot to Stout & Buckstaff for paving. The written contract, which was signed by the parties, places the price at $1.75 per square yard. In settling some financial relations recently with the city Buckstaft, the surviving repre- sentative of the firm, claimed an item of 8624 to be due him over and above the amounts allowed him, as he had been therate of $1.7% while his bid was $1 Investigation developed the fact that there is no record in_the city clerk's office, outside of the contract itself, to show what the bid was, At the council meeting last night Councils man Webster prosented a document which he claimed was the original bid. He said it Lad been handed to him by Mr. Buckstafr. It placed the price at $1.751;. A moment later Councilman Woods fished a document out of his pocket and proclaimed that it was the original bid. Tt had been given him by John T. McDonald, a contractor who was at the time a member of the firm of Stout & Buckstaft. 1t placed the price at $1.7 McDonajd says he is ready to tostify tha the latter is the original bid and the council will investigate.
