At the close of the reading of the letter Mr. Rosewater was called upon and made a statement of the objects of the associa tion, saylng that it was much to be de plored that the movement in Nebraska had been delayed by the absence of members of the executive committee. He congratu- lated the men present upon the fact that they were the first to organize a local association and prédicted that following their lead Omaha would soon make a good showing In the state soclety. He said that the movement was entirely non-political that contributions to the fund in no way pledged contributors to an endorsement of any policy of the late president, but was to be conmsidered as a testimonlal to the life work of the individual and the high office of president. He then explained fn detail the work and the relative duty of the local, state and natlonal associations. Each person contributing to the fund will be in timo presented with an engraved re- ceipt In suitable design as a souvenir of the donation. At the close of Mr. Rosewater's talk the temporary organization was made perma- nent and a committee of five was appointed to bring the plan of the assoclation before the different unions. This committee is composed of Peter Green, O. P. Shrum, Ben Maylard, Dr. M. J. Ford and Fred Bauman. The secretary was instructed to write letters to each unlon, setting the object of the society and inviting the members of the unfons to be present at the nextemeeting, which will be held upon the call of the chairman. sperity his wisdom that a'l love v this to a RAILROAD of virtue, | | | the | would torth | of Omaba Join in the Me- | Fred | Iabor | A | _ | description swn a fllght of stairs and struck | from | Reichstag has no business to | HESITATES Man Charged wit ng Alleged Namesake Awnlts His Fate Ind of Newell €.
