trade. The attendance waa neariy aouu.o
that of Tuesday. At the morning session,
following the reports of the committees on
rules and order and credentlnU, K. M.
Taylor of Sibley read an Interesting and
somewhat humorous paper on "The Iowa
Merchant."
Mr. Taylor made a humorous compar
ison of the retail grocer of today with that
nf twentv-nve years ago. In Closing he
suggested that there were three Important
things to which the Iowa merchant must
give, his attention mall order competition,
advertising and pure food legislation.
In the absence of J. Beh of Harlan Wil
liam McMurray of Newton read a paper
on "County Organizations and Their Pos
sibilities." An early adjournment was taken
In the morning" to enable the delegates to
accept the Invitation of the Groneweg A
Schoeutgen company to be guests at lunoh
at lta warehouse building on Ninth street

SUte Senator Saunders, who was on the
program of the afternoon session for an
address on "Fraternity," was unable to be
present owing to being detained in court.
The feature of the afternoon session was
an address by Fred Mason, scc.otary of
the National Association of Retail Grocers,
who spoke on the benefits to be derived by
organization. D. A. McGee of Sioux uny
gave an Interesting talk on trading
Stamps and Other Gift Schemes," In which
he told of the fight the retail merchants
had in Sioux City to drive the trading
stamps out of there.
J. H. Osborn, commissioner of the Sioux
City Commercial club, extended an Invita
tion to the association to hold its meeting
next year In that city, the Invitation being
backed up by a letter and a telegram from
Sioux City's mayor, W. O. Sears. The In

marks a motion was passed to Instruct the
committee on constitution and laws to con
suit with Mr. Brigham regarding proposed
changes In the federation's constitution to
make possible a closer co-operation between
It and the state labor commissioner's office.
This action, however, was taken only after
strong opposition on the part ot a number
of the delegates.
The report of the committee appointed to
confer with a like committee from the Re
tall Grocers' convention relative to leglsla

discussion during the afternoon session and

HOWELL ON THE WATER RATES
Member of I)oard Advises Resistance
If Company Attempts to Charge
Present Schedule.
At the meeting of the Southwest Improve
ment club last night R. B. Howell, mem
ber of the Water board, advised the users
of meters who consume 1.000 or more gal
lons of water per month to resist any at
tempt of the water company to collect at
the old rate. 'Tender payment at the rate
of 25 cents per 1,000 gallons," said he, "and
If they will not take that and threaten to
shut off your water, come to the board and
we will stand behind you."
Mr. Howell made a somewhat lengthy ad-
Wllllam Tell." Schlllera great drama,
was presented last night at the Boyd by
German local talent as the final feature of
a three days' celebration commemorating
the death of the poet 100 years ago. Tho
play was attended by an audience which
filled every seat In the house. '
Naturally It was almost whollly a Ger
man audience, for the lines of the char
acters were In the language of the father
land. To the occasional person not of Ger
man extraction, who dropped In for the
purpose of seeing rather than hearing, the
general use of that tongue was rather be
wildering, and it might well have made him
Imagine himself In a foreign country. Be
tween the acts It was talked behind him
and In front of him. No one seemed to
have any use for English. Even an old man
at the entrance with a basket of carnations
raised the cry of "Blnmen! Blumen!" Hun
dreds of Schiller badges decorated the coats
of the men. But It was significant that
in each badge, under the picture of the
poet, was a ribbon of red, white and blue.
Forty-two persons appeared In the cast,
all of them residents of Omaha and mem
bers of the various German societies. Frlti
Wallburg directed the production.
A source of pleasant surprise to the audi
ence was the beauty of the costumes dis
played. In the costuming the early presen
tation of the play was followed aa closely
as poslole, and this adheres to the style
of dress that was prevalant In Bwltserland
at the time of Austrian tyranny. Gessler
himself, or Tell, was not more pictur
esquely clothed than was Frltx Klenke or
William Ptoecker on the stage. The setting
of the stage was altogether appropriate.
As for tho acting, the concurrence of opin
ion was that It merited the highest praise.
Tell, Vlrlch, Melchthal, Stauffacher and
Furst were heartily applauded again and
again. William Stoecker played the title
role and did It well. Frits Klenke, as Gess
ler, played his part "In a way which would
have brought him much applause had be
appeared In another role than that of the
tyrant. Philip Andres was successful in
the difficult character of the feeble old
Frclherr von Attlnghausen. Miss Barbara
Regner appeared as Walther, son of Tell,
and although her part was small, she so
pleased the audience that at the end of the
act where the apple waa shot from her head
she was almost deluged with roses. The
whole thing passed off as smoothly and
gracefully as t trough all the actors had
been professionals.

DISCOUNT ONJUJMBER THREE
Five Cent a Bnshel Off on Corn
According to Role of Chi
cago Board.
Considerable confusion has been caused
In the local grain market In the lost few
days by the new feature of trading In
corn, as outlined by a rule of the Chicago
board of trade adopted Monday. The rule
makes No. 3 corn of all kinds deliverable
on contracts at a discount of t cents a
bushel. This necessitates trading in two
styles of contracts, designated as old and
new, until such time as all contracts under
tha old rule have been closed up. The com
mission firms have secured copies of the
