Address, "Dutv of the Press to the Public," by J. O. Berkley, was handled in a manner productive of new thought, and if acted upon, a grert benefit. Address," Early Press of Nebraska," by Jas.

A general discussion now followed on varions topics of interest to tbe craft and was participated in by the members present pretty generally, and many a weak link was strengthened as a result of tbe discussion. A motion was made and prevailed that he chair appoint a committee of three on resolutions, and for such committee to report at the evening meeting. The chair appointed R. II. Jenness, W. II Davis and C. C. McHugh. ' On motion meeting adjourned until 7 p. m.
