K Whllo the old soldiers were strewing the
li-avcs of their follow comrades with lloral
l ncmbrnnccs yesterday the State Business
Ton's association Indulged In n llownry dls-
I ay of rhetoric and tossed n few forgot-mo-
tils on commercial sub Ice Is.
f There was some talk of adjourning out of
55icct | for the day so sacred to the hearts
the bravo boys In blue , but the time was
limited that It was finally decided to nro-
wllh the program of the convention.
| ( 'Yesterday's ' sessions were uotablo for the
Vterpst displayed in the discussion of the
Objects presented. Many of the delegates
Kd overcome their modesty of the provlous
ilcnlng. They ' 'thaired out" during the
l > ' ) rnlng session , and In the afternoon there
IJts a spirited rivalry on the part of many toTe
To who could talk the most. This Inspired
J-neral Interest. Among the subjects , ably
Escusscd , were those of manufacturing , the
[ jddlcr system , press and commerce , exhibit
nnd the credit system. The sessions
"fstoniay were happily harmonious. In the
[ Ceiling tlio delegates attended the mnnufac-
Icrcrs exposition at the Coliseum.
[ I To A ( into the Prridlcr Nulmuicp.
| , At the morning session the * program for
ye entire incctitu ; was adoptcil.
The question of disposing of the peddler
f uslncss was nbly handled by J. C.
[ tort. Ho also took hold of the supply
T oliscs with a firm grip. Ho believed
I1 making the local license as high ns pos-
I iblo so that the peddlers could not afford to
[ o business. Mr. Dort recited the ox-
oricnco of his community with a supply
kouso agent. Ho held that the mlsroprn-
1 entatlon practiced by the ugeuts for supply
bouses did a vast amount of datnago to the
I .glllmalo business.
I Mr. John Hussoy was of the opinion that
fie peddler nuisance could bo overcome by
publishing the list of prices given by the
ripply houses by the side of the regular re
tail prices of the legltlmalo retail dealer.
In this way the absurd claims of thu supply
Jjcnt would bo exploded.
Pntrnnlru the Homo Press.
U. Glover of Long Pine bollovcd in
' aiclng n friend nnd ally of the local press
1 by such nsslstanro exposing to Iho pub-
tlio absurdity nnd injustice of patroni/.lng
eddlers nnd foreign supply houses. "There
JJro lots of retail merchants who never pay
c/ielr homo paper n cent. How do they ox-
jcct the editor nnd publisher of their local
Japer to make a living if the people of the
town refuse to patronize the advertising col-
fums ? "
The question of how to secure mnnufnctur-
\ig Institutions was presented by H. A.
jcmpster ) of Beatrice. Ho covered the sub-
l.-ct < | ulto thoroughly , speaking of the suc-
t'3ss that had attended Iho efforts put forth
Ft Heatrieo , ICcarnoy , Gothenburg , Grand
Poland and Omaha.
"The following special committee was ap
pointed to present a long petition to the rail-
l-onds asking that the custom of permitting
i'.upply houses nnd peddlers to use the freight
: dcpots as store houses bo stopped : J. C.
Dort , D. A. Coyth. A. M. Hosteller , J. A.
Wllcox and H. F. Hodgin.

At the afternoon session Chairman Scott
of the committco on credentials submitted
his report , which was adopted unanimously.
At the request of the presiding olllccr , Vice
"resident King of Lincoln ofllcialcd ias
chairman of the convention during tha
remainder of the afternoon. Ho announced
that Iho commtlleo on resolutions , as appointed -
{ pointed , consisted of J. S. Bishup of Lincoln ,
Thomas Kawllngs of Vakeflold , J. H. pallcy
of Columbus , L. ( _ } . Faulkorson of Freuionl ,
\ George R. Hammond of Norlh Plalto. The
i commltlco was requested to report all reso-
- liitlons at today's session.
Chairman King Ihen announced thai the
[ program for the afternoon would bo'tho '
treading of papers on commercial subjects.
| Ho invited a general discussion and inter-
Ihhango ot Ideas on each subject , ns read.
3 J. G. Casobeer of Blue Springs read an
Iiblo paper on "Tho Local Press nna Us
SUelallon to Commorco. " The author ovl-
Blcntly had given the subject much considera
tion nnd his views seemed to meet the
lipproval of his fellow delegates. The sub-
Eilanco of hit scnilmcnt was to the affect
Ethat the success of a commercial municipality
[ depended largely on the local press. Ho
liald thit the editor and the business man
libould maintain harmony and mutual en-
I'ouragomont. The press and commerce
( ihouhl be inseparable allies in every coin-
-lunlty.
The Iteo for Instance.
1 Mr. Cascbcer cited the fact that THE Bee
flad been a powerful aid In building up the
Vity of Omaha and the massive monument of
jfrospority occupied by TUB UEE was only one
| f many other largo buildings that were
I'oeted because the city was a prosperous
liuntcipallly , made so by iho press and com-
l-orco. In conclusion , Mr. Casoboor advised
Irory business man lo encourage iho local
! ess , and also bollovcd that the press
llniild always uphold iho local internals of
lie communtly In which It existed. Whllo
1 Nebraska towns wuro not gateways of
lilmnerco like Omaha , ho bollovcd thatoacli
lould rccolvo Its share of prosperily If the
Irons and the business men formed n mutual
{ luilrntloti , copartnury and co operated for
lie advancement of local Interests.
I'Mr. Casobeor's paper was fully discussed.
Jhoro seemed to bo a remarkable unanimity
If opinion thai ho was correct in his Ideas.
I J. M. Burks
, n veteran from Lincoln ,
Itrongly endorsed iho author's suggestions.
| i. S. English of Eaglo. advocated n judicious
iso of advertising. Ho bollovcd it was the
oad to success for a merchant to ndvcrliso
tud lo encourage Iho press. Ho did not bo-
iovo In iho "standing advertisement that
vas never changed. " Some merchants who
lover clumped their
advertisements often
.bus advertised overcoats In July on 110-
ount of inadvertence in this respect and loot
, ueso morcliaiUa sometimes blamed business
toprcssion on the printer.
Virtue r Jiiillelous Advertising ,
Mr. English said If
that merchants advor-
: lsed properly and brought the press in close
'ontruct wltU commerce in their
com
munities , there would not bo any merchants
.lltlng cross-legged on their counters and
can ling at dull trade.
If. J. Lee of Fremont prefaced his
' paper on
" 'Tho Credit Reference , Its Value to Bust-
"Vss Men nnd Hex to Use It , " with linn
ipologotic sigh that ho was not of Ciceronian
build. Ho mndo n decided lilt , however ,
Mr. Leo strongly advocated the rallng book
is an Indispensable adjunct to oka
business man's success. Reference was
aiado to the suscopilbjlily of merchants to
tccouimodato applicants for credit. The
.atlng book was the safeguard. In the ab-
teuca of protocllvo legislation against on
who do not pay their bills , ho regarded Us
trodIt reference book ns the only protection
to a merchant in Nebraska.
The discussion on Mr. Ioo's paper devel
oped an "experience "
mooting. There wasn
general post mortem overbad accounts and
how they had accumulated " -The "dead beat
fraternity , " as a delegate expressed it , was
Imndlnd wltboul gloves. The garntsneo law
also came In for n severe scoring.
Mr. Burks of Uncoln , Mr. Wilcox of Co
lumbus , Mr , Fisher of 3og
Wyuioro , Mr. Eng :
lish , Mr. Hnllonsleln , Mr. McCluskoy gnd
others occuplnd tha lloor and expressed
their views slrongly In favor of adhering
strictly to the rating book and believed In
refusing credit to any person marked therein
as "require cash. "
Cash r * Credit.
Mr , UoaUy , n merchant from Julesburg ,
Just over the line , anuo and advocated the
cash system as the only relief. This do-
volopou a sentiment of op | > oUlon from the
other delegates mostly on account of the ;
fact that it Impossible
was to conduct a mer
cantile business In
Nebraska without grunt
ing souiQ credit.
Ed Yntea , "tho funny man from Lin
coln , " as ho Is popularly called by the dele-
patro , arose In the midst of the discussion
and announced ftomewlut dramatically that
he oould Rive his ylcvr * ort the rut I tig book to
few word * .
"J use irty credit reference book , much ft * I
did ( an asnfcclldn twjr that my mother tied
nround my.neck when a boy to prorcnt con
tagious disoMM , " snld Mr. Yntcs. "I use It
as a prorcntiva nntl not to euro aflilctlons
thnt 11mvc already had. "
thn Tills socmcd to cover ilia on tire question.
The substance ot nil remarks developed a
general approval of the book.
S. S. English apoke on the subject of "Ne
braska On Wheels No. 2. " His remarks
were < mostly confined to a review of his ex-
pcrtciico on that exhibit train and ho cited
many Instances to prove the benefits that
Nebraska had derived from the exhibit
trains.
At the conclusion of Mr. Hngllsh's re
marks , Secretary Hodgln distributed tickets
of admission to the Manufacturers' expos
ition. The convention then took a recess

REOKETS OMAHA'S ACTION.
Prmlilont Rlark Think * a MUtnko Wni
Mndo In the Depot Cnno.
President Clark of the Union Pacific ,
looking very much bettor than when he loft
Omaha for the east , was at his ofilce yes
terday morning endeavoring to catch up
with the business that had accumulated In
his absence.
Talking to a flr.r. man , Mr. Clark thought
that the decision In the union depot case
was detriniont.il to the interests of Omaha ,
but wondered little at the decision , as
Omaha had always stood In her own light ,
hcsald , when creat questions of public policy
were presented for serious consideration.
"Will you carry the case Into the higher
courts ? " asked the reporter.
"That I cannot say , " replied Mr. Clark ,
' until I talk the matter over with my pee
ple. "
"Will you consider the proposition of
building a new depot at the foot of Farnani
streeti"
"If my understanding of the decision Is
correct the court rules that the dcirat must
bo built ns nt present located , else the
ground is forfeited to the city. Under these
circumstances our hands are tied and Omaha
Is without a depot. I believe the city in the
end will feel what is clearly a wrong done
the Union Pacific company in taking the
stand it has. It will hurt the city more than
the company. Yet I cannot help but depre
cate the course pursued and wish that it had
been different "
Asked why Mr. George C. Smith of the
Missouri Pacific had resigned , Mr. Clark
replied that ho presumed the gentleman had
felt thnt ho 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 now general manager of the
Missouri Paclllc , and of Mr. Horace G. Clarlc ,
the newly unpointed general superintendent
who succeeds Mr. A. W. Dickinson. The
latter , Mr.Clark said , was ono of the oldest
division superintendents 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 pave.
"Ho is a man about 40 years of age , " said
the president "and trained in the practical
duties of railroading. "
' The St. Louis Republic states that you
\vl | | remove your family this summer to
Omaha ? "
"So I observe , " replied the imperturbable
president.
.Missouri 1'nclllo
Missouri Pacific circles wore considerably
stirred up yesterday by the announce
ment nnd its confirmation by President
Clark , ono of the directors of the company ,
I I that A. W.Dickinson , general superintendent
' of the company , had been succeeded by Horace
ace Q. Clark , superintendent of the St. Louis
division , whoso headquarters has been at
Scdalia , Mo. Mr. Dickinson , ono of the ablest
railroad men In the country , has been In
capacitated by long illness from filling the
duties of the position and naturally wishing
the road to bo placed upon more SDlld footIng -
Ing In the reorganization of the several de
partments , tendered his resignation , which
was accepted and followed by the appoint
ment of Mr. Horaoo Clark , who , by the way ,
Is not related to President Clark of the
Union Pacific in any way whatever.
The appointment gives general satisfac
tion here , as it it Indicates a desire upon the
part of the Missouri Pacific people to apply
civil service rules wherever practicable
rather than go outsldo for men to fill the
most important positions ,
The resignation of Mr. Dickinson was not
by any means unexpected , THIS lici : having
predicted It a month or more ago.

PARADOX OS1 TRADE.
City Merchant Ciplnliu Hour Some of III I.
Ileit Cuitumar * Are IIUVoist. .
"It is a peculiar thing , but nevertheless
true , that some of my host customers are
my worst , " said a merchant to a reporter
yesterday.
"Well , that Is really a peculiar proposi
tion , " remarked the reporter. "How can
you explain ill"
' It is this way , " replied the merchant. ,
"I have a number of customers who have
been dealing with mo for tlio past eight or
nine years , and during that tlmo all of
them have very seldom asked for credit , but
whenever they have It has . .boonIIlingly
granted them. U is. however , a sure thing
that when they ask to be accommodated
they need the accommodation badly. As
soon as they get In my dubt , if they are not
u hie to pay it off la a reasonable time I am
sure to lose their trade until tlioycan. It
often happens that they have sufficient
money for present needs , but cannot just at
that time spare any of it to pay off tticlr scores
with mo , and modesty , bashfulness , call
It whatever you like , keep them away from
my store , and so I lose their p.itronago until
such time us they are able to pay up. Why ,
an an instance in point , there is a certain
man in the city who never would think of
going to any other place to purchase goods ,
but for the past month he has owed mo u
small bill. I know he is unable to pay it
without sadly inconveniencing himself. Ho
could bavo further credit ut my store did ho
desire It , but for the reasons I have stated
ho keens away and gives his trade to another -
other linn , though just as soon as ho U able
to pay up no will be bacx again. "

$024 to bo duo him over and above the
amounts allowed him , as ho had been paid at
