2 | OPEN ARYS FOR STOCKMEN r 1 Will ek to Securs the Next| Annual Convention. Omaha DELEGATION WILL VISIT SALT LAKE CITY .- 1 Commercial Club Will Be Repre-| mented by Soliciting Committee to Polnt Out Omaba's Attrace tions~Welcome for Lee. An effort will be made bring next year's convention of the National Live Stock assoclation to Omaha. At Tuesday's meet- ing of the executive committee of the Com- mercial club a communication from the live stock assoclation was re inviting the elub to send a delegation to the annual conven- tion to be held at Salt Lake City December | 16 to 18 inclusive, The communication was acted upon favorably and a good-sized del- egation will soon be appointed to represent the Commercial club at the meeting. A proposition to instruct the delegates to mecure the next year's conventidn of the live stock men for Omaha received with enthusiasm, several of the members mak- ing short and lively epecches in favor .of such an undertaking. It was pointed out that Omaha as a live stock center takes a second place to no city in the country and among the Inducements that may be held out to the stockmen to meet in this city is the presence of the new auditorium, which will be ready for use by the time the convention is held The National Live Stock assoclation, as 1ts name indicates, covers the entire country | and has In its membership practically all of the people who are interested in raising, | melling and buying live stock.

Wright, C. F. Weller and A. C. gmith was appointed to call on General Fitzhugh Lee and extend to him the courte- #les and hospitality of the club and a friendly greeting. Reports from three special committess on locating new industries were received, each being of a favorable nature. The three new concerns which promise to be numbered among Omaha enterprises in the near future are a wood-working establish- ment, an incubator factory and a Keeley institute. Dr. George L. Miller was unanimously elected an honorary member of the club and the following were elected to active membership: H. B. Gates, W. H. Christy, R. C. Howe, Frank Martin, 0. E. Bec worth and J. R. Banker. ZEALOUS FOR SCHOOL FUNDS rredite Institutions y Are Kept Out eir Own. J. W. Crabtreo of the University ot Ne- bracka, inspector of accredited schools, has started an investigation of the condition of school funds in the counties of the state which promises to bring to light considera- ble money that belongs to the schools and has been turned into the general fund. In many counties the interest on delinquent taxes has been turned into the general fund rather than into the various segregated funds to which it belongs. This money ecmes in in small sums, and rather than apportion it among different funds it is commonly diverted into the general fund. Mr. Crabtree notified the Omaha Board of gducation of this practice and urged that the Omaha district investigate the matter. fhe finance committee was instructed to find what the practice has been in Douglas county, and it s likely that the develop- ments will_be quite interesting. County Treasurer Elsasser says that the county funds have been kept separate and that at the first of every month all interest col- tected on delinquent taxes has been ap- portioned. The city funds are in a different condl- tion, however. City Treasurer Hennings says that considerable interest belonging to the school fund has been turned into the general fund, but expressed the opinion that the Board of Education owes the city more than enough sidewalk tax to offset this claim. to ctor of A Bellev of or Hoarseness. BenJ. Ingerson of Hutton, Ind., says he had not spoken a word above a whisper for months, and one bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar restored his volce. It is used largely by speakers and singers.

Becher Tll OMAHA | HOMECOMING FOR HOLIDAYS | Ratlroads Make Concenstons Stadents and Teachers for the Christmas Vacation, The usual low-rate to concessions to teach- | ers and students enabling them to return to thelr homes for the Christmas holidays have been determined upon by the railroads and the exodus from the college towns will be as general as it always has been during the festal period of Yuletide. The Western Passcnger association at its meeting in Chl- cago this week decided upon the usual rules governing the sale of the holiday tickets to eachers and pupils. No actlon was taken relative to the extension of the low-rate privileges o as to include everyone who wishes to spend Christmas at home. It 18 deemed probable. however, that this will be taken up later and acted favorably upon. The round-trip rate between all points in Nebraska will be one and one-third fare. It will be required of all students and teach- ers sccuring such tickets to present certifi- cates, stating that applicants hold a bona fido connection with the Institution issuing tho certificate. These tickets will be on sale on the closing day of school and one day thereafter and will be limited for re- turn paseage to January 9, 1901, PASSENGER MEN TRY AGAIN Rumors of a Conte tion of the Old Transmissourt Asnociation, CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—The Evening Post to- day says: Western passenger men contem- plate the organization of still another as- soclation. Preliminary plans will be sub- mitted to the presidents at their meeting in New York this week. In reality the plan is not new, but merely contemplates the res- urrection of the old Transmissouri associa- tion, with headquarters at Kansas City. Such an organization would have jurisdiction over all matters affecting business in the territory between the Missouri river and Colorado common points, Possibly Utah common points may be included within its boundaries. Since the abandonment of the old assoclation eight or ten years ago the roads in the present plan have been repre- sented in the Western Passenger associa- tion by a committee. MEMORABLE DAY FOR TRAINMEN, Employes Will Celebrate New Yenrs Eve with Banquet to Ocialn. The last day of the year promises to be a memorable one for trainmen employed by the Burlington system. They propose at that time to gather in Lincoln in numbers lim- ited only by the requirement of trains that must be operated and glve up the day to the seeking and giving of pleasure. In the afternoon the big auditorlum will be con- verted into a great concert hall and a joint musical program will be rendered by the Burlington bands of Plattsmouth and Me- Cook. This event will be for the benefit of the poor peoplo of Lincoln. In the evening the trainmen will give an entertainment unique in raflroad circles in that they propose to extend a banquet to their officlals. Tickets of invitation will bs issued to all of the men having authority in the operating and transportation depart- ments and a great feast Is contemplated. Following this prandlal affair there will be a great ball. Preparations for the affair are progressing satistactorily. The details and arrangements are wholly in the hands of the tralnmen. No sugges- tions or assistance will be brooked from any official source, as the trainmen want to keep for themselves all of the honor that will come from the success that they think is certaln to be attained. Burlington May Absorb It. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Dec. 4.—It is rumored that the St. Joseph & Grand Island will pass under control of the Burlington soon after January 1 and that Grand Island trains be- tween St. Joseph and Kansas City will be abandoned after that date. CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—Vice President Peas- ley of the Burlington railroad sald today regarding the report that the St. Joseph & Grand Island railroad would be absorbed by the Burlington on January 1: “I have heard nothing about it and don't belleve it 18 true.
