ACTION ON PREMIUM CERTIFICATES Retailers Aro Asked to Co-operate la Effort 4 Pat aa End to tho Practice by Some The special meeting of the Iowa and Ne braska Wholesale Grocers' association held In this city yesterday was a most Im portant one and brought out practically a full representation of the organisation. Probably the most Important question which prompted tho calling of the meeting was the uniform bill of lading which the railroads announced would be put In force on and after January 1, 19U6. B It the railroads propose to relieve themselves of responsibility for all freight consigned to them for transportation unless the shipper Is prepared to pay an additional 20 per cent on the freight charges. This, shippers ,1n general regard as a scheme of the rail roads to evade their responsibilities as com mon esrrlers and withdraw all protection from the shipper unless he pays for It, or, In other words, pay the railroads a pre mium for practically Insuring his goods. This was the view of the proposed meas ure taken at yesterday's meeting by the Iowa and Nebraska wholesalers, with the result that this resolution was adopted: The Iowa and Nebraska Wholesale Gro cers' association does emphatically protest igalnst the enforcement of the so-called uniform bill of Indlng which transportation companies Intend putting In effect January 1, and regards any auch action as un just and unreasonable, bealdes putting an undue burden upon the shipper., The Interstate Commerce commission has been appealed to and this body will hold a meeting next Monday In Chicago. It wa decided at yesterday's meeting that John Melhop, secretary of the association, should represent the organisation before the com mission. Oppose Prcmlam Plan. The association also adopted the follow ing resolution, which Is self-explanatory: Whereas, The wholesale grocers of Iowa and Nebraska view with much concern tbe Increasing practice of manufacturers of various lines placing In their, packages certificates of value redeemable In the hands of the consumer for various articles of household use and necessity; and, Whereas. We believe that the continua tion of this practice will ultimately tend to Injure to a great extent the bualneBS of the legitimate retailer of these lines of mer chandise; be M Resolved, That we discourage the sale of all such articles of merchandise carrying these certificates and that we ask our salesmen to give the preference to such lines of merchandise carried by the whole sale grocer aa do not include these certifi cates of value, and we aak the hearty co operation of the retail grocer In this move ment, that the business of his retail brother in other lines may not be destroyed. Another Important matter before the meeting was that of canned goods con-' tracts. As It now Is the canner has the privilege of cancelling orders on the ground of short crops, leaving the whole saler and jobber no alternative after pla cing his order, probably six months ahead, but to go onto the open market and pur chase his goods as. boat he can. This left the wholesaler without protection and at the meeting yesterday a contract was for mulated eliminating this clause giving tho canner the- privilege of cancelling the order. This form of contract was then re ferred to ft committee which will confer with ft like committee from the Missouri River association of Kansas City, with a view to Its general adoption by both or ganisations. Appropriate resolutions were adopted on tho deaths of Hanry Meyer of Meyer A Raapke of Omaha and Hoy Wlntlcld of tho Warfleid-Pratt-Howell company of Sioux City, both of whom died slnco the last meeting of the association. President Mahon of Ottumwa presided at the meeting, which was held in - the, large ball room of the Orand hotel, these firms being represented: Waterloo, la.

Dairy Bars to Baraed. A number of frame buildings on the dairy farm of A. C. Cllsworth, southeast of tho Union Pacific transfer depot, were burned to tho ground last night by An, which Is thought to bava atarted In tho milk house. Ths buildings destroyed Included tho dairy barn, buggy shed, chicken house, milk bouse and machine shed. There were twenty-six cows and seven horses In tbo bam and when the Ore was first discovered they were all turned loose, but it ia known that one or more of tho cowa ran back Into tho building and per ished. All of tho farm Implement In the machine ahed and two buggies and several sets of ths haraeao tn tho buggy shed wer consumed by the flames, as well a sixty bushel of grain, twenty ton of hay and other feed. The Are was discovered shortly before I o'clock, when ft still alarm waa sent In to tho Are department. Owing to tho distance from any hydrants, little could be done by the flremen to stop the blase. Owlftg to tho combustible nature of tho frame buildings the flame spread rapidly and In lesa than half an hour tho entire group of buildings waa In ruin. Mr. Ellsworth was unable last night lo estimate bis loss, but ho believed that tho Insurance he carried would cover one-half or possibly two-thirds oC the damage. CaaraTod with Theft.

RAILROAD MtV RAI9B ITS TRACK! Korthweatera Mea Have Coafereaec with City Officials. As a result of the visit of ft party of offi cials of tho Northwestern railroad here yesterday Mayor Macrae and other city officials have strong hopes that the com pany will In the near future arrange to raise Its bridges over Indian creek and thus remove one of the msln causes of this turbulent little stream perlodlcslly over flowing Its bar.ks and flooding Broadway and the adjoining neighborhood. The visit ing officials were W. II. Finley, principal assistant engineer, with headquarters In Chicago; B. J. Sweatt, division engineer, and W. H. Whalen, division superintend ent, both of Boone. Accompanied by Mayor Macrae and ev eral of the aldermen the party first in vestigated the condition at the Broadway crossing snd then followed the creek bank to Sixteenth avenue, and from there were driven to the point where the dredge is now operating south of the city limits. Engineer Finley expressed the opinion that the work now being done by the dredge would benefit the city more than anything else could, and he complimented the city officials on undertaking It. He sug gested that the city should have a very stringent ordinance making It an offense punishable by a heavy fine for throwing any obstructions In the creek. That it would be materially to the benefit of the railroad company to raise Its bridges on Eleventh street the visiting officials agreed, hut Superintendent Whalen gave It as hls"oplnlon that the proposition was one which called for the Joint action of all the railroads having bridge over the creek. While no definite statement was made by the visitors yesterday the city officials in ferred from some remarks -which were dropped that the railroad company Is figur ing on purchasing the property between Eleventh and Twelfth streets on both side of Broadway, probably for a block on each side. This would then enable them to re move their bridges and tracks west of the depot and raise them without Interfering to any great extent with surrounding prop erty. This It was stated would probably be less expensive thnn raising the tracks and bridges In their present location, a to se cure ft suitable grade It would be necessary to raise the track for a distance of about 2.B00 feet each side of Broadway, and would necessitate also the raising of the grade of Broadway two block east and one block west. Ratertalnmeat a Soeceea. Tho entertainment given by the West Council Bluffs Improvement club Monday evening at Thirty-fifth street and Broad way was a great success In every respect. The building was crowded to the doors, between 2G0 and 300 residents of that sec tion of the city being In attendance. The program' of addresses, . yocal and Instru mental music, recitations and other features wsa carried out and reflected great credit nn tho person partlclpaMag and the com mittee having the entertainment In charge.

There was much excitement early In the day over a belief which was spread that Daniel Kelliher, a switchman, had been murdered He had been employed by the Burlington as a switchman, but was out of work and had been for some time. On Sunday he went home and to bed and slept for twenty-four hours and when awakened had a cup of tea and went back to bed again. His wife found him Monday evening evidently In great pain, and when he was taken to a hospital It developed he had been struck on the aide of the head. This caused his death.
