omaha hu been taken by the retail hard
ware dealer of Nebraska. Over 300 dele
atea are In the city to attend the fourth
annual meeting of the Nebraska Retail
Hardware Dealers' association and more
are expected. Omaha. Is ( reeting the vis
itors with a hospitable smile and the Mil
lard hotel, where the delegates have their
headquarters, has been turned Into a hard
ware emporium. Everything is displayed
there, but stoves and ranges predominate.
The stoves convey the Impression that It Is
the Intention to give the vlsiors a warm
receDtlon.
Very little formal work was done the first
morning. Tho out-of-town delegates still
felt the newness of strange surroundings
and they did not seem able to get down to
business. For this reason the formal or
ganisation was delayed until afternoon.
J. Cass Cornell of Ord. president of th as
sociation, was in his place. Just as if the
association wsa actually In session, and
H. J. ' Hall of Lincoln, the secretary, was
also on hand. A large share of the dele
gates registered during the morning, and
a box of silver and greenbacks at the elbow
of the secretary showed that most of the
members were paying their dues for the
j ear. This and the exchange of greetings
was. about all that was done during the
forenoon.
While the members were in the lobby of
the hotel talking shop the president and
the secretary were mapping out the ar
rangements for the afternoon and evening
and Impressing upon the delegates the Im
portance of being present at the banquet,
even if they overlooked some of the busi
ness eesnlons.
. Exhibits Many and Attractive.
Many of the visitors spent the afternoon
visiting the rooms and parlors where enter
prising Jobbers are displaying their novel
ties. The displays are attractive and show
that the dealer is putting his best foot
forward. Everything In the hardware line
Is on exhibition from the newest thing in
the washing machine line- to the latest
thing In malleable steel ranges. One firm
has a papier mache furnace on exhibition
In one of- the parlors. The . interior 1
lighted up wlih a crimson Incandescent
lamp, which gives a cheerful glow to the
furnace, but the glow Is all there Is to it.
The person who goes there expecting to
get his feet warm will come away with
chlllblalns If he stays long enough.
T,hen are hot blast stoves, gasoline ranges,
hay tools, barn door hangers, forged wire
fences, lengths of stove pipe that are better
than the Other Arm keeps, besides the
latest devices In hardware.. In one of the
parlors is a glittering wall made of saws,
hammers,'' augers, and chisels including
braces with big bits and little bits. It is
a notorious fact that the most Interested
spectator at these exhibitions Is usually the
man who Is there slmrly to satisfy his
natural curiosity and who has no thought
of ever - investing in the article which he
lets the exhibitor explain with so much
elaborate detail.
i Where a Man Linger a. ; ,
. Occasionally a man who has sinister
designs upon his home Ufa. lingers at the
patent washing machine, listens to what
the exhibitor has to say of its accom
plishments and then he takes a mental sur
vey of his laundry bills for the year. If
the man goes away with a sigh its a 100
to one shpt that he is preparing to spring
a happy surprise on his wife as soon as he
can spare the money. ' The morning was
pent by the delegates In going from room
to room. The afternoon was different.
There was a program of , good things to
touch off and shortly after 2 o'clock an
organization was effected and the delegate
got down to. business.
Under ordinary circumstances a combina
tion of literature and hardware impresses
one about the same as a combination of
Ice cream and onions. Both are good in
their place, but you. get the impression
that they won't go well together. The
reverse Is true at these meetings. Several
papers were down, for the afternoon and
they Invited the closest attention. The
afternoon session was called to order by
President Cornell. The Invocation by Rev.
T. J. Mackay was followed by the address
of welcome by E. J. McVann and the
fourth annual meeting Of the Nebraska
Retail Hardware Dealers' association was
on in earnest. Walter Qaebler of Wlnside
made the response and the remarks of
both men were the occasion of frequent
applause followed by a hum of approval
at the close.
Mr. .Cornell delivered the president's ad
dress and he took occasion to review the
work of the association in the few years
that it had been In operation. He out
lined the plans of the future and spoke
of the hopes and aims of the association.
The secretary and treasurer's report came
next and then there was an executive ses
sion, with an address by M. A. Hargle-

, I suffered for a long time with a bad case
of Catarrh, aud took a great deal of medi
cine without any benefit.
I had a continual headache, my cheeks
had grown purple, my nose was always
stopped up, my breath had a sickening aud
disgusting odor, and I coughed incessantly,
I heard of your S. S. S. and wrote to you.
I commenced to use it, and after taking
several bottles I wa9 cured and have never
since had the slightest symptom of the dis
ease. Miss Mary L. Storm.

I had Nasal Catarrh for years for which I
used S. S. S. with very gratifying results.
I tried local applications for some time,
and getting no permanent relief I came to
the conclusion that the seat of the trouble
was in the blood. Knowing S. S. S. to be
a good blood medicine I began its nse, and
after using it for some little while it did
away entirely with the offensive mucus in
the nostrils, and I did not have to hawk
and spit, especially in the morning, to dis
lodge the catarrhal matter.

The filthy secretions and foul mucus that
are continually dropping back into the
throat, find their way into the stomach and
are absorbed into the blood. Catarrh
then becomes con
stitutional, and the
only way to get rid
of it Is t hrough the
blood.
Write us if you
have Catarrh, and
our physicians will
advise you without
charge.

were , met by an entertainment committee.

Sheldon on Salesmanship.
One of the Interesting addresses of tha
afternoon was by J. I. Kenyon of Shel
don's Scientific School of Salesmanship at
Chicago. He said:
Confidence Is the backbone of' business
life, personality comes next. Personality
In yourself, In your store and in your
clerks adds to your success. One of the
finest stores I ever visited was a (allure.
A negative spirit pervaded the place and
everything and everybody was being
knocked. The secret of personality la char
acter. Chaiacter doesn t mean goodness.
I have seen people who wouldn't swear tor
the world who were not worth a conti
nents!. I mean the magnetic force of true
manhood and womanhood.
There must be in the salesman the power
to Induce others to buy. I asked a man
once how many salesmen he had. He told
me three. 1 expressed my surprise and
told him I thought he had fifty men work
ing for him. He said he had. but aduVd:
"Only three of them are salesmen. The
othera take an order when they get It."
Education Is needed by the salesman, the
education to draw out the mental faculties
and have the power to Influence others.
To begin with, a man wants good health.
He must have health to enter the arena of
competition. In the race for success the
best man is going to win.
Today the senses needed In the work 'are
scientifically developed. Today even agri
culture is a science and they have got so
that they can raise white blackberries.
It is the administration of scientific knowl
edge applied systematically. Intelligence
is needed. It can be developed. We can
rivlnn fhfc fva and th am mlA lha ntVrnr
senses so that they will do more for us. We
can aeveiop reason ana judgment Just as
we can develop the muscles. We want to
develop the Imagination. Before the In
ventor does -anything he Imagines how
It will look. We must have imagination
to do tnings differently rrom someone else.
Memory and will-power can be developed
and should be developed. They are a facior
to success, 'i ne man who can remember a
race and a name Is apt to be twice as suc
cessful as the man who cannot. Men do
not accomplish more because they do not
attempt to do more.
Bmiie. The man who greets his customer
with a smile Is the one who win. Make
him believe you have missed him and are
glad to have him around. Knowledge is a
splendid thing. You want to have a knowl
edge or tne otner fellow, learn to read
him. Every man Is a victim of habit.
Habit Is personality. Personality Is the
history of the man. If a man Is a Chad
wlck vou can make un vnur mind that
soonpr or later he'll get back to Cleveland.
nememoer you can reacn a man tnrougn
the heart quicker than any other way.
Make a man feel that he Is all right and
that you are all right. Get his confidence.
Make him have confidence In you. Avoid
words. The world wants men who can
talk to the nolnt. Tha dav for talklnc
machines has gone by. Arrange the good
points of the article you have to sell 1.1
logical order, so that each one will make
a strong impression. Let the last impres
sion be the best and make your man feel
that what you are showing him is good
and that he wants It.
BANHIET PROVES A FIXI SUCCESS
Evening; of Rare Enjoyment Spent
by Delegates and Gueata.
Last evening the delegates to the Hard
ware Dealers' convention gave themselves
up to entertainment. Business was for the
time forgotten and the hours were devoted
to feasting and other pleasures. The doors
of the banquet hall were thrown open at
8 o'clock, a flood of orchestral music fol
lowed and the guests' filed into the rooms.
Nearly 200 people sat down to the tables.
The decorations were pretty. Potted plants
were placed at regular Intervals along the
snowy cloths, while palms stationed at
artistic Intervals about the hall enhanced
the general effect.
Rev. T. J. Mackay asked divine blessing.
and a moment later a troop of waiters wltjh
trays entered the hall. The banquet was
on. The hum of voices and the clatter of
tableware was broken at 9:30 o'clock by
W. Glass, the toastmaster, who -rapped for
order and Introduced the first speaker of
the evening, C. H. Rudge. He responded
to the toast, "Benefits Gained by-Attending
the Retail Hardware Dealers' Association."
"The principal benefit of these meetings,"
said the speaker, "Is recreation. We ought
to have more recreation than we have.
Some dealers refuse to close their .doors on
holidays. I think it is a mistake, and I
believe that if you gave yourself up to
recreation once in awhile you would have
Just 'as much money at the end of the
year. Close your doors at o'clock instead
of 10. Your customers will learn to get
around and they will think more of you.
Get acquainted, Dealers who are acquainted
are not apt to be fighting one another.
Come to the meetings and hear the papers
read, you get Ideas you would not other
wise get. ' You get modern ideaa of doing
business. It is the progressive, up-to-date
maa who gets the business nowadays."
Morris Hussle had for his toast "Sharp
Points in Trade." He began by saying that
the sharpest points in the trade he knew
were tacks, and he convulsed the audience
with a humorous address on tacks.
. R. R. Williams of The Iron Age spoke
on "The East as Seen By the West." "The
subject," said the speaker, "is a colossal
one. I came a long distance to attend tho
convention, but I am already repaid for
tne trouble. The warmth of greeting I
received is assurance of the largeness of
heart of the Nebraska people. One of
the pleasures Of such a meeting is the
spirit of fraternallsm engendered. It is
refreshing V, me to look upon these vast
stretches of vision. Where I live we know
there are stars, but when we look i-d be
tween the tall bulldinga to the skits
we cun't see but a few of them at a time.
In New York life appears congested. We
live in small quarters. We have not tha
room." The speaker embellished his speech
with a number of humorous stories.
C. O. Lobeck in his "Reminiscences of
a Hardware Salesman," . contrasted the
present with the past and showed the diffi
culties of selling goods In the old days,
especially before the customer could be
reached by rail. A great many successful
business men of today he said owe their
success to the traveling man, who made It
possible for them to get credit. He said
the traveling salesmen had played their
part In building up the country.
Max TJhllg made a few brief remarks
on the value of the retailer, Jobber and
salesman sticking together and working In
harmony. His toust was "it's a Good
Thing; Push It Along."
"Words of Good Cheer" was the toast
of Rev. T. J. Mackay. lie began by say,
Ing that he Is not a hardware, man, but
that he had some hard propositions to
deal with. He told the story of the travel
ing man who got a pass to Avernua to
look for some of his old cronies and found
them playing poker. He sold his return
pass to heaven to get money to buy chips
and stay In the game. "It shows," said
the speaker, amid laughter, "what asso
ciation will do." He said he hoped to see
the day when there, was , the same spirit
of fcaternallem in the church that there
la In the fraternal organisation. "Organ
izations of this kind," he said, "are uncon
sciously carrying out the precepts of
Christ." H. J. Hall made a few brief
remarks complimentary' to "tha ladlea,''
and Prof. C. A. Victor entertained the au
dience with a fifteen minute exhibition of
alelght of hand that was excellent.
ALL AROUND MAN AT A HOTEL
George Mclntyre Springs Wonderful Story
in Judge Day's Court.
POOH BAH OF THE ROYAL HELD AS BURGLAR
Man Who Did Evrrythlaa; Elae ia
Foaad In Adjoining; Cellar Un
der Clrcomatancea He How
Adroitly Esplalna,
George Mclntyre, on trial In Judge Day's
court on a charge of burglary, went on the
stand In his own defense Tuesday morn
ing. He is 30 years of age and came here
from New York several months ago. He
uses correct and grammatical English,
wears eyeglasses and looks more like a
theological student than a burglar. He Is,
In fact, a gefod deal of a musician, and
part of his story showed than on the night
when he is charged to have committed
burglarious entry he had been making
music in a saloon for several hours.
Mclntyre makes himself out as having
been considerable of a Pooh Bah around
the Royal hotel. He certainly was not a
member of the union, because he worked
overtime like we are told all the million
aires did when they were getting only
7 cents a day and a chance to cultivate an
appetite which God only knows how they
satisfied. First he was to perform the
duties of clerk; then he did a few turns
of labor on the electric fixings, casually
wiped Joints If the plumbing went wrong,
as It sometimes will at the most unlikely
times and places; as steam fitter he could
keep quite busy in a hotel of two floors
which was steam heated; as engineer he
was charged with the care of the heating
plant and as fireman secured what exercise
he mlkht need If a plethora of avordupols
threatened. Finally as managing editor of
the office desk and general overseer and
caretaker of valuables in the hotel office
he was supreme when the boss was away.
Hon He Happened There.
It was while approaching tho hotel at
Sixteenth and Chicago streets about 2
o'clock on the morning of December 31
that Mclntyre saw a suspicious light in
the basement where he had been wont to
labor so assldlously. He went down, he
said, without a word to anybody about his
suspicions, found a piece of pipe that
should have been In the boiler room had
been used to pry off certain pieces of bridge
work which gave entrance to Sargent's
grocery basement, followed what ho
though was the trail of the man with the
light, over the partition into said basement,
and was hunting for a burglar when the
officer arrived and took him for one. His
tale of circumstances leading to his pres
ence In the little storeroom and also his
expressed Ignorance of the presence in the
room of $4.65 taken from the cash register
upstairs, which the officers found, was not
strong enough to gain his release, and so
it comes that he is now on trlal on such a
serious charge.
Talk ' Didn't Save Him.
" The attorneys had completed their argu
ments and the case went to the Jury at 3
o'clock. At 4:30 the Jury reported with a
verdict of guilty.
Following the Mclntyre case Assistant
County Attorney Fitch called the case of
State against Louts J. Smith, colored. He
Is charged with having burglarized the
residence of Oscar Shalberg, 909 South
Thirty-first street, on the night of Decem
ber 7 last and taken a gold watch and an
overcoat. ,
SPORTS OF A DAY.
READY FOR FIV4I.S 151 BILLIARDS
Coaklln, Gardner and Slaoarney the
Only Players Left la Contest.
CHICAGO, Feb. 7. Charles F. Conklln
of Chicago, Edward Gardner of New York
snd W. H. Slgourney are the playera le"
In the amateur billiard tournament who
will nght out the tlnal games for first
honors. All the other entries In the tourna
ment have finished their games and the
three players who head the winning column
will, It is expected, nnlnh up the schedule
by Thursday night. Gardner and Conklln
are now tied for first place, each havln-c
won four games, with none lost. Sigourney
won three games and lost one. Gardner
lost his first game in the tournament, but
his opponent In that game was Edward C.
Rein, one of the local players, who on
account of his failure to appear last night
for his game scheduled with Stark was
declared out of the tournament today by
the committee In charge of the gumes.
Rein's elimination from the tournament
affected the standing of Conklln, Sigourney
and Schmltt, as well as Gardner. But In
the case of the latter three It worked as
a hardship Instead of a benefit, as they
had won their matches against Rein.
Conklln, who headed the winning list
last night, was compelled to win his game
tonight against tichmltt to get on an even
basis with Gardner. This was an easy
matter for the local man, as Schmitt
played a decidedly weak game, the final
score being 300 to ITS in favor of Conklln.
Conklln was also not up to his standard,
his highest run being but twenty-four snd
his average 71-33. Schmltt scored a thirty
two for his high mark fnd averaged 4 14-41.
In the afternoon game Charles Norrls
of New York defeated Charles S. Schmltt
of Racine by the score of 300 to 190. Nor
ris made a high run of 38 and his average
was 8 28-34. Sehmitt's high run was 38
1 and his average 6 20-34.
W. H. Sigourney, the Pacific coast cham
I plon, lost his first game so far in the
tournament this evening. His opponent
I was Charles Threshle of Boston. The final
score was 300 to 207 in favor of the Bos
ton player. 'Threshle's play was the best
he has shown so far In the tournament
and he steadily drew ahead of Sigourney
from the start. Sigourney fell down on
several easy shots and played a rather
weak game all through the match.
Threshle's high 1 run was 43 and his aver
age 7 34-38. The best run Sigourney se
cured was 32 and his average was 6 22-37.
The following is the standing of the
players:
Won. Lost.
Gardner 4 0
Conklln 4 0
Sigourney 3 1
Norrls 3 3
Threshle 3 3
Schmitt 1 5
Stark .' 0 6
Conklln and Sigourney will meet in the
first game tomorrow and in the evening
game Gardner will meet the winner of
this match.

ENGINE ALONE IS LACKING
Union Paclfle Gaeollne Motor is All.
' Ready to Mote When Power
la Applied.
All that is necessary to start the gaso
line car of the Union Pacific on its trial
trip is a motor. The car is done. One of
the head officials of the road said last even
ing: .
"The coach is done. It is lying in the
shops waiting for the gasoline engine which
has been expected several weeks, but It has
not yet put in an appearance. The engine
was ordered from a factory in the east and
ought to have been here some weeks ago,
but It haa been delayed somewhere on the
road and there is no telling when It will
aritve. It Is likely to get here any day.
We have every confidence of the success
of the motor. I think It is going to solve
the question of cheap transportation on our
branch lines. This Is the absorbing prob
lem on all big systems.
"There ! are many branch lines where
steam cars cannot be run economically. On
some lines it does not pay to run a freight
train over the road more than once or twice
a week. See the service we could give them
with a railroad automobile. A crew of two
is sufficient to take care of It, and we can
run it over the road as often as we please.
"In sparsely settled districts we can give
them say two trains a day where now it
hardly pays to run two trains a week. I
think we will be running short trains if
this motor fulfills our anticipations. They
are doing It on some of the lines in the
east. In fact, some of them are carrying
sleepers. It will be a big thing for travel
ing men. The car will permit of first-class
service on lines where such a thing Is Im
possible with steam. It enables the rail
roads to enter into competition for the lo
cal business which has been gradually go
ing to interurban lines. This Is a competi
tion that the railroads feel they must meet
but to do It economically has been the problem."

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
New Buildings Contemplated This Season
tn North Twenty-Fourth Street.
MUCH DISCUSSION OF SEWER PROPOSITION
Two Coanrllmen and Committee of
Cltlaena Call on General Manager
Kenyon of Stork Yarda
Company.
Some Improvements of considerable Im
portance are being contemplated by prop
erty owners on North Twenty-fourth
! street. The first Intimation of these Im
provements came when the city council
directed the clerk to advertise for bids
for a site for a fire hall to take the place
of fire hall No. 1. Dan Hannon owns the
ground and building occupied by the city
for a fire hall Just north of the postofflce
building. Mr. Hannon said that he con
templated building In the spring and that
If he did the city would have to find
other quarters for the firemen. Going Into
the matter In detail It was learned that
Thomas H. Hall of Omaha, who owns
sixty feet of the vacant lot north of the
fire hall, proposes to build in the spring.
H. J. Abrahams, who owns the thirty-six
feet north of the Hall property. Is will
ing to build. Hannon has forty-four feet,
Hall sixty feet and Abrahams thirty-six
feet. The plan now Is for these three prop
erty owners to get together and build a
two-story store building having a frontage
on Twenty-fourth street of 140 feet. ,
While those Interested decline to talk
about what the store buildings to be
erected are to be used for, it is under
stood that a furniture establishment Is
to occupy the ground floor. While plans
for the proposed buildings are not com
pleted, the understanding seems to be that
party walls will be built and that the
structure will be of the same design as to
the front. Aa to the cost of the buildings
this has not been figured out, but It Is
given out that the Improvement to this
property will certainly be made this year.
Cltlaena Talk Sower.
About thirty taxpayers met at the office
of T. J. CKNell last evening to talk over
,the sewer proposition. E. H. Howland
acted as chairman and T. J. O'Nell waa
secretary. Those present had their say
and these resolutions were offered and
adopted:
Whereas, The Uulon Stock Yards com
pany Is now represented at Lincoln,
stronply urging the passage of S. F. 44
and H.' R. 76, and,
Whereas, The passage of said bills will
not only take from the people of South
Omaha the right to vote bonds In the
amount of $250,000, but may, and It Is In
tended, shall result In allowing the said
Stock Yards company to void Its plain
liability under its written contract to pay
one-half of the main sewer, therefore,
be It
Resolved, That printed copies of said
contract be mailed to each member of the
legislature, and that a committee of five
citizens be appointed by the chair, whose
duty it shall be to go to Lincoln and re
quest the members of the legislature to
vote against said hills unless the same
be amended so as to allow the bonds to
bo Subhltted to a vote of the people of
South Omaha.
Chairman Howland then appointed the
following committee: Thomas J. Nolan,
A. H. Murdock, Henry C. Murphy, Colonel
C. M. Hunt and John McMillan.
Committee Calls on Kenyon.
In accordance with a motion made by
Klewlt of the council Monday night, a
committee of citizens called upon General
Manager Kenyon of the Union Stock Yarda
company yesterday In relation to the pro
posed sewer. While Kiewlt made the mo
tion, which included the mayor and council,
besides the citizens, Klewlt was missing,
and so was the mayor and four of the
councllmen. At any rate, the committee
of citizens, along with Adklns and Queenan
of the council, called upon Mr. Kenyon
and talked over the sewer proposition. The
following resolution was adopted by a ma
jority of the committee:
That this committee endorse the Gibson
bill, senate file No. 44,' und tho Fltle bill,
house roll No. 76, but we declare It as our
opinion that there should hereafter lie con
stituted a citizens' committee to look after
the carrying out of the provisions of the
said hills when either of them shall become
a law.
Thia resolution Is signed by C. W. Miller,
E. T. Miller, David Anderson, W. IL Quee
nan, E. L. Howe, Hermnn Beal and W. P.
