The inaugural address of C. F. Weller, president-elect, ‘was as follows: . I have faith In the great state of N bragia and believe in the ability of our ple o take care of themselves under any and all circumstances; 1 have faith in_the elty of Omaha, the Gate City of thé West beautitul for situation, with utary to It thousands of mj 1 see no reason why it ild not become the leading metropolis of the west; I have faith in this organization, the Commer club of Omaha, the men who compos » exceutive commi tee, its chairman, the board of dircctors and its individual membe Large business corporations will o and fall unless the was in consonance was the the speeches was upon honor at th imble e is unfon of purpose in the management, Mammoth manufacturing concerns would i idle and the wheels of commerce become clogged without unity of action on the t of the manufacturers. This ized by our large railroad ou know the result, This ed for a purpose, and hould thoroughly appreciate 1 the fact that it Is not ) ion, but an organ- ization of bu men, nbined together for the protection of th interests and pledged to stand with and by one another under any and all clrcumstances, In union there is strength. This motto Is peculiarly applicable to this club, Standing ogether, we can accomplish for Omaha ‘what, individuals, we never could ac- complish. We theréfore hope that this mecting will cement the bonds of good fel- lowship and that this club may have a great and glorious future, - 5 We belicve that much has been accom- plished for this city through the efforts Of the exccutive committee and officers of the club. L will not go into detail, but guffice If to say that ihese men 'have. Worked faithfully and have given their time and money to the advancement of the in- terests of Omaha. I have faith to believe that the work of the new executive com- mittee during the coming year will be fruit- ful in its results, NEW DEPOT MUST BE BUILT, This may not be the proper time and Dplace to outline our policy. 1 will ever, that we have three impor to consider, and these will be taken up one at & time and pushed to a successful lssue, First, 1 refer to the bridge toll between here and Council Bluffs, This discrimina- tlon has existed against Omaha for years, and this Commercial club has decided that the time has come when this ¢ minating charge must be removed and this ¢ y all be placed upon an equality with other cities on the Missourl river.” (Prolonged Aap- vlause.) Tt is an outrage that this h been permitted to stand o long, and I say right here and now that the entire influ- ence of this club will be brought to bear upon this question until it s settled to our entire satisfaction. t question of vital importance to s of Omaha is the Union depot you may say has become a chestnut, but be that as it may, it is an important question, and the Commercial club has de- cjded that a new depot must be buflt: one that will be credit to the great rallroad corporations centering here and worthy of the city of Omaha. (Applause.) The next Question to be taken up during the year will be a_market house, Who among you does not feel the fmportance of pushing to a completion this enterprise? ‘A market house, centrally located, would pay for itself 'in five vears in the amount saved to consumers alone having the opportunity of purchasing in N open market, 8 three things that are of such vital interest to_the people of Omal arge will be taken up by the Comm club during the year and cvery effort will be made to obtain the desired results, President Weller's speach was recelved with enthusiastic approval _throughout, es- peclally his reference to bridge differentials and the urion depot: WHAT THE COMMISSIONER SAID. Commissioner Utt made his annual report, n which he sald: Through the Individual efforts of the club during the year, five conventions have been pecurad for Omaha, including the interstate rrigation convention, besides other con- ventions have been entertained, notably the national Congregational church convention During the year the club has made a con stant effort in advertising Omaha; nual reports, furnishing data conci city, 8,000 souvenirs featurcs, 5,000 1 10,000 printed merely a_soc 10,000 an- ing the illustrating our best ports of the city engineer, reports issued by us of Irrigation convention and a large number of articles published in eastern papers and elsewhere have ben published and distrib- uted.

W. A. L. Gibbon, in responding to “Our Organization,” delivered one of his character- Istic impromptu speeches, loyal to Omaha and the commercial development of this com- munity. He cited the gratifying sequel of A unity of actlon and said that the only passport to the portals of the Commerci club was good citizenship, respectability and loyalty to Omaha. The speaker reviewed some of the quiet work done for this city by the club, and said that The Omaha Bee and the press of the clty had been potential gates of this great roasted thoss sought to steer and growing west. He inactive citizens Who had the Commercial club ship among the breakers, But he felt grateful that the craft and a gallant crew of loyal citizens had braved the terrible financial and commercial storms of 1893, and was now sailing serenely on the sea of prosperity. Mr. Gibbon gave the guests a ‘‘marine view,” 0 to speak, of the trip of the Commercial club ship. He referred to political and religious preferences as being secondary to the prime object of organizs tion, The motto of the club was “Omaha Cirst and Ev Afterwards.” Judge Fawcett’s e to “Omaha” was along the lines of enthusiasm which a good citizen would deliver from the depths of his heart. His sentiments were warmly ap- plauded. . B. M. Bartlett Location."

After Which They Apply the Whitewnsh Brush in a Vig- orous Manner. The city council met as an investigating committee last evening, for the purpose of taking further testimony in the alleged brib- ery of city officlals. After the council had been called to order by Mr. Morgan City Attorney Farnsworth stated that he had been unable to obtain any more Witnesses, although he had doue all in his power to procure parties who were supposed to know something about the mat- ter. The city prosccutor said that he did not see the n ssity for spending any more time and money on the investigation. This settled it, and Councilman Bulla then offered the following resolution, which was promptly seconded by Walters and adopted by a unani- mous vote: “Mr. Chairman: Since hearing the evidence in the case wherein The Omaha Bee published an article inferring that Mayor Johnston, Eli H. Doud, The Bee and World-Herald re- porters and six councilinen took bribes and hush money to suppress news, 1 see*no evi- dence to justify further investigation or ex- pense; therefore, be it “Resolved, by the chairman and council that a G.

An ordinance defining assault and battery was read the third time and passed. It pro- vided for a fifie of not more than $100, cr a Jail sentence of thirty days hn Burk was given permission to remove aloon from Thirty-third and Q streets to Twenty-fourth and N streets, The " nickel-in-the-slot machine ordinance was read the second time. It provides that every keeper of such a device shall pay a vearly license of $10 for each machine. For a_failure to procure such a license a fine of $35 is attached. The ordinance was referred back to the committee for corrcction, and the council voted to sustain the corrections. Councilman Ryan introduced a resolution asking the council to request the county com- missioners to appoint John Ross overseer on the grading which has been ordered donc on Thirteenth street, north of Missourl avenue, Mayor Johnston called attention to the sug- gestion made by the Taxpayers league that expenses could be reduced by doing away with some of the electric lights, cutting down the police force to six men, and paring down the salaries of the mayor, councilmen and police judge. The mayor said he would fike to hear from the members upon the subject, as he wanted to reduce the ex- penses to the minimum. Mr. Bulla moved that the matter be laid over for one week in order to allow the pouncilnen ‘to investigate the suggestions of..the Taxpayers league. The motion car- ried and’ the council adjourned until next Monday evening. ular ad- Played the Baron. “The Gypsy Baron” was given at Bauer's hall on Saturday ecvening by local talent.
