el the office at that point to the
satisfaction of the patrons. He was
recommended for reappointment by
Congressman Pollard.
The meeting of the Commercial
Club held last evening at Coates'
Hall was largely attended and was
'withal one of the best sessions the
club has had since Its formation.
There was a great deal of enthusi
asm manifested and several differ
ent projects of real Importance to
the city were taken up and discussed
and action taken toward getting them
under headway so that the city could
reap the benefit of them.
; One of the objects of the meeting
was disposed of at the Btart by the
election of officers for the ensuing
year, the old officers being elected
unanimously, those being elected
as follows:
COUNTY
COURT
bratcd Breckenridge Case
County Judge Beeson finally dis-
Presldent, J. P. Falter.
Vice-President, R. B. Windham.
' Treasurer, Rea Patterson.
Secretary E. H. Wescott.
The matter of iel?ctlog nn.j til-
rectors for the club was 1 ',o the
above chosen officers who were to
make a choice of those men whom
they thought best for the position of
director and also whom they could
prevail upon to serve and give the
matters which would come be
fore them their time and attention,
and submit the names at the next
meeting of the club for approval of
the members. This action was taken
so as to secure if possible the best
and most energetic of the local bus
iness men on the board.
After the disposal of the election
of officers, the meeting took up the
consideration of several vital sub
jects which the members were pre
pared to lay before the meeting,
among other, important matters to be
brought up 'was that of securing the
building of an Interurban electric
line between this city and Omaha and
also connecting the city with other
towns In the vicinity. This plan was
advocated by R. B. Windham who
took pronounced ground In favor of
suctv a system. Mr. Windham made
a strong and able address In favor of
securing a line which would serve
this city In two ways. It would serve
to make it available for residence
purposes for those who hd business
In Omuha who desire to make
their residence away from the city
where they and their families could
obtain some real comfort and enjoy
ment, and at the same time live
cheaper than they could In the larger
city. In addition to this the line
would have-the effect of bringing
much adjacent trade to the city and
would result in balldlng up the busi
ness of the local merchants. Mr.
Windham made other telling points
In his proposition.
The proposition took with favor
among those present and after some
further remarkB, It was decided to
appoint a committee of three to ex
amine the feasibility of securing such
a line, President Falter appointing
as such committee Messrs. R. B.
Windham. II. D. Travis and C. C
Parmele.
were to select a day for the occasion,
each one select some particular line
which he would make a special sale
on. advertise It. hire the special train
to bring the people to the city and Judge BeeSOIl Disposes of the Cele-
build up a larger business In this
manner. This was the Idea of A. L.
TIdd and met with spontaneous ac
ceptance by the meinners. His Idea
Included running a free train which
would be paid for by the local mer
chants who would make special sales
as an additional Inducement to draw
trade In. With Judicious advertising
there should be no reason why the
scheme should not be a success and
to see what could be done along that
line a committe of three was appoint
ed consisting of Messrs. A. L. TIdd,
G. E. Dovey, and Philip Thierolf.
Mr. Lorenz of Lorenze Bros., also
had a scheme to Becure the com
ing of picnics, parties and such gath
erings to the city during the summer
months. He made the meeting a
good talk along these lines, suggest
ing the city dispose of the present
oark on South Fifth street and se

be well watered and shaded and
