market and the third largest racking cen
ter In the world.
Omai-.a Is the central city of the L'frUed
States geographically.
'Lore Vuar t'lty."
In training salesmen my one admonition
was, "lyove your goods and yuur house.'
My admonition to Omaha's commercial am
bassadors Is. "1-ove your city." A sales
man who does not fear competition, who
refuses to recognise It In any form, who
shuts his ears to It and marches straight
forward, swerving ntlther to the right nor
the left, pouring his undivided energ es
Into ths work, of selling his goods, la the
man who assuredly heads the sales list of
his Institution. The Omaha traveling sales
man, no matter how successful he may bo,
who devotes his entire energy to the pro
motion of his personal Interests and the
Interests of his house, dots not fulfill lo
the fullest extent his obligation either to
himself. Ids house or his community. He
has an obi. nation to his city, which must
be recognised, and If he Is a good bualnesa
man ha does not Ignore It. When, for In
stance, an Omaha salesman selling a spe
cialty Una of goods to a general store
where ths dealer may be purchasing the
major part of his other lines In a neigh
boring market refuses to recognise his op
portunity to Influence his customer to con
alder Omaha as a general market for all
lines, then he does not fulfill his obliga
tion to his city. How long, may 1 ask,
will It be before that general dealer takes
that portion of his business given to the
Omaha specialty salesman to the market
receiving his business In other HnesT I
wonder how many of Omaha's salesmen
consider the work that Is being done by
the Omaha Commercial club In backing up
their efforts In the field. Next to the sell
ing ability of a salesman, the capital or
ganisation and high character of the house
he represents, the greatest asset In his sell
ing capacity may, without douht. be at
tributed lo the Omaha foinmercial club.
In that connection It Is my unbounded be
lief that there Is no Influence In the city
of Omaha today that la operating so splen
d:dly to the advantage of the common
good of this community, other than
churches and schools, than that of the
Commerolal club.
Wark All Time.
"Work Is the best there is In a man. and
every true man realises that his best re
ward In this life Is that sweet conscious
ness that comes from having performed h s
full obligation to his Ood. to society and
to himself, and there la a mighty inspira
tion and a great personal asset In the giv
ing of t ine In meritorious service In the
Interests of the pub'.lo good.
Uentlemen, if we would get the best out
of the advantages Omaha has to offer. We
must put the beat In. We must comply
with all of the conditions. What do 1
mean by conditions? Well, for Instance,
railroads haul passengers on conditions. 1
know of but two. One is. get your ticket,
and the other Is, get aboard? and Just as
soon aa you oomply with tneae cond.tlons
then all the sied of that engine and all
of the luxury of thoac coaches are yours
to the end of your destination. We ate
no stronger than our weakneases. If we
xrttitl ourselvea to be controlled by our
weaknesses we can be no stronger than
the thing by which we are governed. If
1 atart to cross the Atlantic ocean In a
paper box, aa soon as the box becomes wet
it goes down and 1 go with it. But It 1
atart In one of those grand ocean grey
hounds, then all the strength of her hull,
the skill of her officers, the speed nf her
engines are mine until the end of mv
destination and I will never go down until
she goes down.
Gentlemen, If you will Invest the best
of your ability', of your brain and of your
eye and hand In ths work of promot ng
the highest Interests of Omaha, our course
Is bound to be onward and upward, in
creasing In strength and usefulness all the
way to ultimate supremacy in that which
we would most attain to.

new banking quarters.
Among the houses whose men were sent
by heads of firms to the Omaha National
were these: Byrne-Hammer, M. E. Smith
& Co., Midland Glass and Paint company,
K. P. Klrkeiidn.ll & Co., American Hand
Sewed Shoe company.
1 hlrty or forty men from each of these
house came up the street together to ex
tend the compliments of the wholesale dis
trict to ths retail section of Omaha and
to see what can be done In the way of in
terior decoration when a first-rate archi
tect Is given carta blanche In the matter
of spending money tastefully.
Various attempts among traveling men
at practical Jokes while in. the bank came
to naught. An effort by rtla colleagues to
lock up on man was frustrated by the In
tended victim's own presence of mind. The
bank officials at hand were entirely Inno
cent In the matter, which would have been
serious If successful. Ths cash vault oper
ates on double Urns locks and Mr. William
Rushton, esq., would have been a close
prisoner until Saturday morning. The
proximity of six or seven millions in cash
would not havs comforted him much.

A trust deed and a blanket mortgage to
secure a bond Issue of $1,100,000 was filed

The company's Incorporation articles pro

southern terminus at Omaha. It Is said
that these arrangements have already been
made with ths Omaha ACouncIl Bluffs

The trust deed and mortgage bond are
voluminous, requiring thepayment of $.M
recorder's fees. The instrument will be
filed for record In Omaha today, and havs
been or will be filed In all of the counties

of them. Detectives questioned him, how
ever, and then started out with him on a
tour of Investigation.
Last Saturday Walter Damrosch. the
orchestra leader and composer and one of
the Judges In tho competition, which Is for
the best grand opera composed by a native
American, shipped the four operas by the
express company to George W. Chadwlck

wagon while the driver was delivering an
other package. Detectives were unable
to get any trace of the missing operas.
Early today John Rea. about whose per

the bundle containing the missing scores
to the East One Hundred and Fourth
street police station. He said two men had
given him the bundle and told him to turn
It over to the police, threatening him with
death if he gave any Information.

poena was served upon him he didn't know
he was to testify against t lie chief of indice.

Despite I lie fact that B. G. Burbanlt. Mr.
j Boekhaut's lawyer: Bailiff Coleman of the
i supreme court, who Is assisting Mr. Mullen
; In ciiinmoiilng witnesses, and others, all
say that the man Is seriously 111, the at
torney general asked Referee Evans to
issue a bench warrant for Mr. Boekhauf,
the effect of which would be to have him
brought Into court at once, by force If
necessary. Mr. Bii'bank asked that he be
heard In objection to the Issuance of such
a warrant. Referee Evans set the hearing
for Saturday moinlng at 8:30.
Mullen suld be would call the witness to
the stand when he wanted him, but that
Zarp and others should remain In attend
ance pending his pleasure. Burbank pleaded
that as the man would be wanted for but
a few moments by the court he should be
allowed to give his testimony and go back
to his work, but the attorney general would
not consent to this. So the witnesses are
waiting for Mr. Mullen to get ready to
move.
Dealer' Books Unopened.
Objections to the efforts of Attorney Gen
eral Mullen to force wholesale liquor deal
ers to throw open their sale records,
troubles of the attorney general In getting
some of the Omaha liquor dealers Into
court and sharp criticism of alleged dis
courtesy of Mr. Mullen by B. G. Burbank,
attorney for some of the witnesses, made
Friday morning's sitting of the hearing a
lively one.
Referee Evans lor the time sustained the
objections to the opening of the liquor deal
ers' books and deferred final ruling In
the matter until Saturday morning. In the
course of his remarks Referee Evans re
peated his statement, mads several times
during the hearing, that If the theory of
W. J. Connell, attorney for Chief Donahue,
that the prosecution must adhere strictly
to tho complaint, Is correct the larger part
of all the testimony so far Introduced must
be thrown out as Immaterial.
