C , Peters , manager of the Bcmls Omaha Bag company , to whom is duo the credit oE bringing the convention to Omaha , called the meeting to order. Lewis Hellmer of Val paraiso was elected chairman and Albert Johnson of Crete secretary. The officers had no sooner taken their Beats than the grind commenced ami before the meeting closed u profitable grist was turned out. Ever since the llrst mill was built It has boon the custom of the farmers to take their grain to mill and have It ground Into meal. Hour mid bran , the miller deducting a cer tain amount of toll for his labor. Under the old Buhr system In times past the farmer ? would sit about and gossip until each man's grain was ground and his grist ready. With the coming In of the roller mill and tin hurry-up methods of the present day the custom of making a direct exchange of ( lour for wheat has corno Into voguo. Naturally jnoimh It has come about that different mills give different quantities of flour for n bushel of wheat and the llrst subject brought up for the consideration of the meeting WUB the question of adopting a uniform system On the Htatement Ihat A. Edgecomb of Illalr would present a paper on that subject latei on It was decided to leave the matter to a commltteo to report at this morning's ses sion. The chair appointed the following members of that committee : J. II. Graft , Tc- cumseh ; S. S. Hadley. Cellar Haplds ; N , B , Kuidall , Lincoln ; C. Putnam , Gibbon ; C , L Mollimz , Ithaca ; 13. G. Collins , Junlat.i ; 1) . V. Stcphcnson , Falls City ; C. F. Iddlngs. North Plattc , ami L. L. Leedom , Fretliont. A motion prevailed , declaring It to be the GOIISO of the meeting that Nebraska mills sell their product for cash. During thu dis cussion of the motion Mr. Hedge of Hastings dull ! that the wholesale grocers of Omaha and Lincoln brought strong pressure to bear upon thu retail merchants of the state to buy Minnesota flour Instead of handling tin product of Nebraska mills , "I hove tried , " said the speaker , "to sell ilour to the Jobbers , hut the universal answer Is , 'No ; wo sell Minnesota Hour. ' Now , our Nebraska mills maku just as good Hour as Is turned out In Minnesota and If wo could get one wholesale grocer to sell only Nebraska flour I believe that house would double Its business through the In fluence of the millers. " USB OF NEBRASKA FLO UK URGED. O. C. Holmes , secretary of the Manu facturers' anil Consumes ! * association , was asked why the Jobbing grocers of Nebraska lo not hundlo Nebraska instead of Minnesota seta Hour ami replied that some wholesale grocers do handle Nebraska flour , though hi would have to admit that they all push the Minnesota flour Instead of the homo product. Ills association had douo all In Its power to Inilnro the jobbers to handle Nebraska flour , cs well as other goods made In the state , and the usual answer had been , "Creato a de mand for It and wu will handle it. " J. 0. Hedge. Hastings ; 0. C Holmes , Omaha ; H. B Smith , Ilolmesvillo ; F. S. Johnson , Mllforcl , and F. HagcmeUter , Farnuale , were appointed a committee to wait upon the grocery jobbers and.

Sterling Morton , the freight men of Omaha and speakers of the evening. Mr. Peters is a firm believer In homo pro tection , Nebraska products for Nebraska people , and Idea was brought out forcibly In the menu , each course being prefaced by the word Nebraska , even to Nebraska olives. William II. Alexander , in his happiest mood , acted as toastmaster , adding much to the pleasure of the occasion. Charles F. Woller , as president of the Commercial club , delivered the address of welcome , to which S. S. Hudley of Cedar Itaplds responded In behalf of the millers.

Sterling Morton was called for and re sponded In a brief speech. The speaking was all good , but space forbids a repetition of the many bright and witty , as well as Instructive - structivo remarks. J. E. Butler and Prof. Homer Mooie favored the banqueters with vocal selections that met with appreciative applause. At the conclusion of the banquet a delega tion of over 100 , headed by SI , C. Peters , started for Castle Ak-Sar-Hen to participate In the Initiation festivities held by the knights.

Upon ar- livlng at the castle they were taken In charge by a commltteo of the knights , con sisting of Major Clarkson , Clement Chase , Walter Jardlne and others and ushered Into the mysteries cf Hie mystic order. Af'er wit nessing the ordeals of the Intrepid applicants for Ak-Sar-Uen honors a number of the guests passed through the tortures , by way of nn oxperlenco , and became honorary mem bers of thu organization. Late In the evenIng - Ing the visiting delegation was tendered a lunch , which always constitutes a portion of the hospitality of the hnlg.its , and then returned to the city on a special motor train , While Mr. Peters was engaged In showing the sights of the city to the masculine con tingent of the millers' convention , Mrs. Peters took charge of their wives and daugh ters and tendered them a trolley party. The party left the Commercial club rooms shortly after 7 o'clock and boarded two gaily decorated motors sidetracked at Six teenth and Howard streets. After traversing the main car lines of the city the parti visited the residence of Mrs. Peters , 1113 South Thirty-second street , where refresh ments wcro served. !

There were plenty of attorneys present. The defense asked for a Jury trial , The city attorney showed conclusively that as the complaint was under the ordinances a trial by Jury could not be asked and Judge Waters overruled the motion. All the wit nesses , about a dozen , were then excluded from tbo room. Before the trial had fa'rlv gotten under way It occurred to some of the prosecutors that perhaps the farce had pro ceeded far enough and accordingly Mr , Schocnhelt was sounded as to his views on the matter. It was discovered that the de fendant was willing tc meet the prosecution half way and lie did so In a speech to the court , In which ho said ho was willing testate state to the court that he- did not Intend to disturb the- meeting , that If ho had done so ho was sorry , and that ho had every re spect for the court and the orators of Fri day night's rally. City Attorney Abbott said that ho was perfectly willing to drop the case uni'er the circumstances. Person ally , ho said , ho had no political reason for wishing to conduct the case and did not care whether the defense had termed the ar rest a rcault of politics or not. At any rate , ho hail no desire to prosecute the case without suinclcnt grounds. Then the court nuld ho was glad thh ' 'affair had reached a peaceable termination , ' nil that he had no desire to try a case or this nature any way , but that If forced to do so It would bo fairly tried , outshlij of politics , ami strict Justice administered.

D. , Aug. 31. ( Special. ) The Sioux Stock Journal , which Is the official organ of thu Missouri Illvar Stockmen's as sociation , makes the following statement In regard to the shipment uf cattle from the range at the present tlmo : "It Is now a settled fiict that our beef producers will not ship a hoof to market tills season until prices show some advancement. There are , of course , a few who must ship , but the per centage Is Indeed small. A large number of stockmen from various parts of thu range country have been In town during the past week and the Journal has taken pains to In terview nil on the matter and received the same reply from each. They liavo resolved to hold everything over until next year If prices remain where they are now. Not only H this the situation here , but throughout the range country. "Wo had anticipated a largo output of range beef this season , but It looks now aa though It would bo the smallest In years. There Is a slight upward tendency Just now and wo do not think the present prices will bo broken If thu marketing throughout the country is done judiciously , Occasional Jams may occur and paralyze ITTo market temporarily , but if cattlemen have their business well In hand they will bo able to prevent thcso breaks , which are almost un avoidable , from becoming permanent. The market is fully ? 1 per hundred lower than It was ono year ago and cattle owners are In no condition to stand a further decline. There Is llttlo hope for prices to Improve , but thorn Is danger of a fuither decline , It Is true the present figures have prevailed for the past six months and since thu pressure of the spring beef , cornfcd , did not break them they ought to stand thu grass cattle , but a lltllo Injudicious mamigomcnt would run tln > price very low. Our chief reliance , however , for keeping up the present llgure'j is In the good Judgment of the cattlemen. If the market should break seriously thou sands of fat steers would ho held over , The range Is good arid an limiifiitic ciop of hay Is being put up and the country will be In good shape to curry live stock through the winter , and this Is our chief icllanco for ' holding the present flguies.
