S. WIN cox , but several of the members wished to hear nominations. Z. T. Lindsay , Alvln Bar.ndcrs , 13. V. Lewis nnd Kuclld Martin \vtro placed In nomination. Snumlers , Lind say and Lewis declined. A number of speeches were then made , advocating that I're&ldcnt Wellcr be continued In the posi tion , and the motion to suspend the rules nnd elect him by acclamation was again tncde by Mr. Tiikcy and was carried. The precedent of the club Is to elect to the pres idency the retiring chairman of the executive coirmlttec , nnd for this reason A. T. Hector urged the selection of Euclid Martin. Prss- Idf nt Wellcr , Who , early In the evening , made a congratulatory address to the directors as they sat down to n dinner , which always on such occasions precedes the transaction of business , again arose to make a gracious speech , aoooptlng ah honor twice conferred nnd promising to the club the devotion to Its interests which had by his friends been emphasized In asking for his re-election. COMMISSIONERS IIBPOUT. The annual report of Commissioner UU was substantially as follows : "Tho Nebraska state fair nnd exposition was located In Omaha for the term of live years by the direct effort of this club ; and In addition to the state fair wo now have n first class mile track , amphitheater nnd other excellent Improvements occupying ICO acres of ground. The mile track supplies a long felt want , and as n consequence , in ad dition to the fair , s-evcral Important racing events will b ? held during each year that will nttioct thousands of visitors. "Tho Business Men's association , the ele gant floats , the- Knights of Ak-Sar-Hen and fall festivities that achieved such marked success last fall and are now pzrmannit en- terprls.s , originated with this club. Similar features to these named have for years draw/i / large numbers of people to other western cities , and thalr development In Omaha was an actual necessity. "The late Transmlrslsslppl congress wan conducted under the auspices of this club. The mo31 Important feature of this congress to us was tlis unanimous endorsement of Omnha as the location of a transmlES'sslppl exposition to be held in 1S9S , lasting during a term of three months. An organization has noiv beeu formed to develop this project. Members of congress have bcn conferred wlfh for the purpose of enlisting the govern ment In the enterprise , and It Is reasonable to oppose , judging from "the known condi tions , ( hat this will beaccomplished. . If the general government takes the Interest ex pected In the exposition it will at one : b- como an assured success , be'oausa the differ ent trnnsmUslsslppl states will , then take ftvorible action , and v.'h'lo the undertaking may'now sc-'im stupendous Its'achievement will not be dlmmlt. The benefits that will orlro from this exposition to Omaha and the wdst are now beyond estimate : low rates will tw In effect ; numerous excursion trains % ylll bs run , nnd millions of people w'll visit our'city ; the- vast re > sourc3s on which we depend - pond will be thoroughly understood , and an Impetus given to our growth. Certainly nothing coulij cccur that would 'do 50 mncli to assure the greater Omha that has beeu eo long and well predicted. "During the last year several propositions have- been accepted for conventions to be held In this city. A number have been held end several others will be In the current year. "Tho Nebraska State Poultry association will hold hero Its annual convention and cx : li.blt January 21 to 4. Its secretary advises that this will be the largest poultry meeting ever held west of Chicago. It Is expected over 1,000 will attend. "Tho Grand Army encampment asmbles February 12 and continues In session several days , occupying Creghton ! hall. At the same tlmo the Woman's Relief corps will nuot In the largo Yo.ing Men's Christian association hall. Tim attendance will be at least 1,000. "The annual convention of the Young Men's Christian union will bo held , next October uml con tin ut > In ? 'nslon one week. The at tendance will be over 3,000 , based on former meetings. "The Commercial Law league of America will meet July 21 to 25. The pro-sent Indica tions nro that over 1,200 delegates will be present. present.EFFORT EFFORT FOR BETTER RATES. "Considerable effort hay been made to > bet ter our position In freight rates. The most Important feature In tills direction has been the complaints filed with the Interstate Com merce commission. One la against the east ern roads doing business between Omaha and points In Iowa for discrimination In favor of Council nitilfa by charging Omaha shippers n bridge charge of 5 cents per 100 pounds In oxcea of Council Ulufts rates , contrary to custom In rnch Instances. This bridge charge bus been for years most Ir ritating to Omaha shippers. The Mconfl complaint Is against i < outhern roads , be cause of discriminations against Omaha In rates on freights on Texas business as com pared with ether points In competition with Omaha. The rates complained of arc those applied to cattle and wutlicni product ? from Texas nnd picking house product and inln- cellanenus freight to Texas. The commis sion visited Omaha and held a session lastIng - Ing tcveral days , Uklng exhaustive testi mony In both case ? . Written briefs have ben madn and oral arguments delivered in Washington. It would i > ecm the cases imvi ? been madeso plain and the discrimination BO bold that the shippers of this community will bo afforded relief. "During the year , through the Instnt. mentality of this club largely , the tire de partment has been reorganized with excel lent results , and water facilities have been Improved , giving bettor lire protection ana Improving the status' of Insurance rate ? . Excursion trains have been run to tributary territory for the purpose. of promoting closer commercial relations between our Jobbers and manufacturers and country merchants. The largest cigar factory In Iowa has been brought to this city and l now employing fifty hands , with the prospect of doubling the force soon. Sixty million cigars are jobbed and sold In Omaha per annum. It would require 3.000 employes to niako this amount. This firm makes cigars equal to thwo made by any factory In the Unltaa Elates , as testified to by our dealers. This Indicates wo should have more cigar fac tories In Omaha. The union depot proposi tion hau been vigorously prosecuted and the rUmUng committed has reat-on to think that this vexed question will be favorably set tled within the next sli months. "Tills city , In order to be fully equlppea as a jcbbliiK center , should have a few ad ditional wholesale houses In a few lines of trade. If capital now Idle In our banka anil elicnhoro nero Invested In these houses the Invettments would bo profitable and our commercial Intrrerts would realize a rapia advance. We should have two wholesale dry KOO.II houses. In addition to those we now have , requiring an Investment of $300,000 each. With. .LhJ ? secured , other jobbing hoifr.-s would follow. PLHIA FOR FACTORIES. "This city should have factories that hold the BJinc relation with grain that our packing houtei do to live Block consumption , aim factories ( hat hold ( ho same relation to othtr grain that our four largo breweries do lo birley. Minneapolis mllle produce GO- 003 barrel * of Hour per day ; Duluth and vicinity , 25.000 barrels ; Kama * City , 5,000 barrels ; Atchlsoo , 3,000 barreli , and there ar Urge mill * nt St Joseph , Leavcnn-orth and TopfOxa. The latter points hnv ? token about all the wheat raised In Nebraska hit year and these cities pupply UP with flour. We tftoulil have at leiRt five flour and ccrea ! mills In Omaha of 1,000 barrels capacity , well to USD our grain and supply flour , feed , oat meal and corn products. This would make the price of grain higher and prod ucts cheaper. Ono ha f of the freight paved on the grain out and the products In would make the Investment profitable. There Is a party available now that will give a bonus of $25,000 each on one or more such In vestment. . ' . Thefe mills vuuld use dally fifty carloads of grain and be the beginning of a local grain market. We have two distilleries now Idle because they are con trolled by the trutt. A local company should bo formed and the operation of these distil- Icrlso enforced or a new distillery built and operated. "Prior to the organization of the Com mercial club the stockholders of the Hoard of Trade were asfefsed $20 each to meet the deflc't. The nirmbsrshlp was nbout 200. Since the organization of the club thesra as sessments have ceasfd. The Hoard of Trade has besn relieved of several other largo ox- psnses. For example , Iho secretary nnd as- sls.t3nt , on account of the extensive duties , were paid $2,100 per annum. This fervlra Is now performed by n secretary for $720 per annum. The large decrease In expenses Is attributable to the fact that the club as sumed the duties of the Hoard of Trade In public enterprise. The nmounl paid by th ? citizens' of Omaha to maintain the club dur ing the last year was ? G,7nij. This Is not In cxcesit rf what the Uoard of Trade assumed for performing this service before the ex istence of our organization. In addition to ths above , the club has been charged by the Hoard of Trade for rent the first year ? li > 0 psr month and the second year $100 per month. This would seem to constitute _ n gjod reason why the members of the Hoard of Trade should join the Commercial club , bcausa oun dues are only $20 per year , and this Is the amount members were formerly assewed to maintain the snmo service the club Is performing. Should they do this they would bo In n better position than formerly , because the uecreapo In lliulr expenses has In creased their earning capacity for the year several thousand dollars. "Receipts for 1SOI , $5,923 ; receipts for ISOii , $ C,7Cn ; members that have paid dues to January 1 , 309 ; delinquent members that will pay , 30 ; total msmbsrshlp , 215 ; members added during the last year. 102. The cost of membership per annum In different commercial clubs In western cities Is ns follow ? : Omaha , $20 ; St. Paul , $150 ; Minneapolis , $100 : Kansas City , $50. In the latlcr city the freight bureau Is maintained separately at an expense that exceeds the entire recelptn of our organization. " While the telhrs were determining the icsult of the election for executive commit- teemcn addresses were made by Dan Fnr- rell , 0. W. Llnlnger , Mr. Wyatt and George P. Ilcmls. All relternled their fnlth In Omaha , their pride In the achievements of the club , nnd advocated a more perfect bond of unity among Omaha business men and n stronger effort to build up the commerce and prosperity of the city.

RESOLVE OH SWEEPING ECONOMY Tlifti They TnUe _ lt Hack mul K\- th * MnHrr from the < Hfooi-il SnlnrU'M Will Co On. The Board of Park Commissioners made- hugo stab In the way of retrenchment yester day afternoon. And then they tcok It back They passed n resMutlon by which they pro posed to dispense with their salaries of $200 a year nnd serve for nothing If the members of the other city boards would follow their cxcmplo and sacrifice an equal nmount from their salaries. Then they reconsidered th ? repolullon and expunged It from the rcc- oMs. oMs.As As originally propose. ! , the resolution con- tolned three propositions. The first was tli * proposition relating to salaries. The sec- ohd proposed to dispense with the secretary and request that one of the comptroller's clerks be deputized to conic up and check up their accounts cnce n week. The third stated their willingness to give up their ofllceg for court room purposes nnd tnke Quarters In rome other part of the 'city hall. hall.These These resolutions were signed by President Tukey and Commissioners Rcdllcld , Bates and Kllpntrlck. But Judge Lake refused to add his signature. H ; maintained that that was not the way to retrench In his opinion. The park board waa the only department ol the city government In which an economical example had bcsn set. nti'l he believed that If the board continued In the same way It was doing all that was required. Ho con tended that the police force should be cut In two , as the greater part of them were simply "exhibitions of laziness , " nnd did nothing except to sun themselves and draw their salaries. After some further discussion the clause relating to the secretary was stricken out an the change could not bo made until May any way , mid some of the members decided that they were not willing to allow the rec ords to get out of their possession. It was stated that nn arrangement might be made by which the prosldjnt would remain In the oIHco all the lime and take care of the rcc- crds himself. The resolutions were then declared passed , Judge Lake voting no. Then Mr. Redficld slated that the resolutions were designed to set an example for the other depart ments , hut It would have no force unless u represented the unanimous action of the board. Therefore , the whole matter wns rescinded. Rules were adopted by which the superin tendent was authorized to suspend park policemen , keepers and florists and report his action to the board for final consideration. 'Ihe committee on employment mid supplies \vaa given the power to employ and discharge common laborers. AMUSEMENTS. Another larg ? and appreciative audience greeted the second performance cf "Tr'lby" at the Crelghton last night , and If frequent salvos of applausa and enthusiastic recalls mty be accepted as tvldencis of approval then "Trilby" has succeeded In once more gaining the good will of local play goers. The performance of Paul M.

Lsvaseeur does not see where the norey Is to come from , and brings forward he objection that wo do not possess the evels of the entire world. M. Milne Ed- vards thinks the project Is one. of conslder- ble grandeur , but regards It as , If not Im practicable , at least of questionable utility. The globe suggested by M. Ileclus would bo nearly 450 feet In height. UtllUliiHT Heut In Holler * . The Idea of having the gases leave a boiler at a high temperature , In order that It may 10 more effectively used by heating the feed water In an economizer , Is reported by Schmidt , a German engineer , to have been uccessfully applied by him In producing a very economical engine by extraordinary leatlng. The gases are represented au leav- ng the boiler at a temperature sufficiently ilgh to permit of superheating the steam to over C50 degrees. U IB thought by experts , lowever , that though by this action the conomy of the boiler must bo reduced , the question preicntc Itself whether It Is not ireferable to permit of less economy In the loller , In order that the engine may be more conomlcal a point , of course , of special practical moment.
