NEBRASKA HARDWARE DEALERS WILL WAGE WAR. WILL MEET THEIR PRICES . Department Stores Must Also be Fought Interesting Discussion on the Merits of the True Salesman. The Value of Personal Character. Oninha , Feb. 9. Retail hardwnro 1 dealers will hereafter light enemies of the tnulo to u finish anil use the enemy's own weapons. This wus the most Important action taken by the Nebraska Hardware Dealers' nssocla- V lion at their morning ; session. It Is the most Important action taken by the association since Its organization four years ago. It means that the re tail dealers of this state propose , here after , to keep their batteries trained on the "catalogue house" and the department stores , with which the re tailer alleges ho Is. thrown Into unfair competition. As described by one of the mem bers of tlio association , the catalogue house Is a firm which reaches the CUB- tomer through the malls. The house does not carry standard goods. It does not oven have a stock of goods to select from. The linn usually has n carpeted olllco In the heart of the city and keeps several shrewd buyers on Its pay roll. When an order comes in-from the country for a saw , a fine , a hammer , hatchet , or any of the oth er numerous articles so Indlspeuslblo , around the house and the farm of the S handy man , the catalogue house sends one of. Its buyers to a jobber and fills the order. AH cash always accompa nies the order from the country , the catalogue house Is enabled to pay cash for what It gets. They are' ' unanimously In favor of putting up a fight. The plan which * , finally found most favor and was , adopted was to meet the prices of the ' catalogue houses. After the catalogue i houses were disposed of , the depart ment stores were taken up. It was determined to meet the latter on their own ground. It was agreed by the members with few dissenting voices that hereafter , when the department stores make a loader of anything per taining to hardware , the dealers will advertise their wares , at. the same , prices. Sheldon on Salesmanship. x One of the Interesting addresses of the session yesterday afternoon was _ J. D. Kenyan of Sheldon's Scientific School of Salesmanship at Chicago. He said : Confidence Is the backbone of busi ness life. Personality comes next. Personality in yourself. In your store and In your clerks adds to your suc cess. One of the finest stores I ever visited was a failure. A negative spir it pervaded the place and everything and everybody was "being knocked. The secret of personality is character. Character doesn't mean goodness. I have seen people who wouldn't swear for the world who were not worth a continental. I mean the magnetic force of true manhood and woman hood. There must be In the salesman the power to induce others to buy. I asked a man once how many sales men he had. He told mo three. I ex pressed by surprise and told him I thought he had ninety men working for him. He said ho h'ad but added : "Only three of them are salesmen. The others take an order when they ' got It. " Education Is needed by the salesman , the education to draw out the mental faculties'and have the pow er to Influence others. To begin with , a man wants good health. Tie must have health to enter the arena of com petition. In the race for success the best man is going to win. can remember a face and a name Is apt to he twice as successful as the man wlio cannot. Men do not accom plish more because they do not at tempt to do more. Today the senses needed In the work are scientifically developed. To day even agriculture Is a science and they have got so that they can raise white blackberries. It Is the admin istration , of scientific knowledge ap plied systematically. Intelligence Is needed. It can be developed. Cheerfulness Counts. Smile. The man who greets his cus tomer with a smile is the one who wins , Make him believe you bavo missed him and arc glad to have him around. Knowledge is a. splendid thing. You want to have a knowledge of the other fellow. Learn to read him. Evdry man Is a victim of habit Habit Is personality Personality is the history of the man. If a man Is a Chadwlck you can make up your mind that sooner or later ho'll get back to Cleveland. Homembor you can reach a man through the hear quicker than any other way. Make a man feel that ho Is all right and that you are all right. Get his confidence Make him have confidence in you Avoid words. The world wants men . wlio can talk to the point. The da > for talking machines 1ms gone by Arrange the good points of the artfclo you have to sell in logical order , KO that each ono will make n strong 1m pression. Let the last impression bo the best and make your man feel that what you nro showing him Is gooi and that ho wants U. CREIGHTON WEDDING BELLS M. L.

There is no medicine manufactured .hat has received moro voluntary iralso or moro expressions of gratl- .udo from people who have boon cured > y it , than Chamberlain's Cough Hem- edy. From long experience In the use of this preparation , people have found that It not only gives quick relief but effects a permanent cure , and that It can always bo relied upon. The fact that It Is pleasant to take , also that it contains no harmful drug Is of much mportanco when a mcdlclno Is in- Bonded for young children. This rem edy is for sale by Leonard the drug gist. EX-BANKER PROCEEDED TO EN JOY HIMSELF TOO MUCH. DEPOSITORS RESENTED ACTION On One of Two Occasions the Prison er-Banker Is Said to Have Made Statements Which He Hardly Real ized and Which Caused Rearrest. An O'Neill report says that Her- ( nard McOreevy , during his liberation from the county jail , in no way In creased Ills popularity. He Is said to have talked too much and to have mis behaved. The Frontier says concern ing it : Whatever sympathy there was for McGreevy previous to his liberation seems to have been rudely shattered by his conduct during the brief period he was out of jail. He was liberated from the custody of the sheriff on the evening of January 28 and taken In charge again by the sheriff on Febru ary G. During the Interval between these two dates he has proceeded to enjoy himself and It Is a matter of common knowledge and common talk that on one or two occasions the ex- hanker , when It was apparent he was not Just In a condition to realize ex actly what effect his speeches would have , made allusions to the wrecked Institution on the corner which swal lowed up some $00,000 of the savings and earnings of hardworking people , that at least militate against him in the public mind. It seems that something has got the depositors In a mood to keep filing complaints as fast as bonds may be furnished. The hearing on the present charges will probably not bo had before next week , as one of those who makes com plaint will he out of town until Mon day or Tuesday and the county attor ney has agreed to defer the hearing until his return. This Is tho' season or the year when people have ample opportunity to read. It is the time when those Interested In the latest current events should place their names on The News' list. Madison , Madison , Neb. , Fe.b. 10. The girls In the sophomore class "struck" the last of last week , over the half holi day deal. The three boys belonging to the class were allowed to go with the seniors who rightfully won the pleasure. After a good deal of reluctance tanco the girls went back but as a consequence the class Is divided The sophomore class Is composed of girls now , the seniors having adopted the hoys. While out sleigh riding last Sun day evening , Mr. John Uroom was quite severely hurt , his team running away nnd overturning the sleigh. The debhto to como off In the opera house Friday evening between the AI blon and Madison high school , Is causing great Interest. Those to fight for Madison are Edith Illloy , Al fred Sallow nnd Oscar Prathor. NATIONAL. SOCIETY SEEKS NE BRASKA TACT AND BRAINS. HIGH SCHOOL LOSES TEACHER Miss Kathryn Slsson Will Assume the Duties of Field Secretary for the Woman's oFerlgn Missionary Soci ety What Her Work Consists of. Though the so-called Athens of Atuer- ca Is situated In the cnntoni portion of ho United Statos.and though the eaut- rn centers have In the past been given irodlt for the greatest , development ilong various lines of social exist- 'iiro , the fact Is becoming more and nore strongly demonsrated ! us each 'ear rolls round that the brains and courage and tact that are Inborn trulls if the western man and western wo- nan , are In constant demand whor- n-er pluck and cleverness are ossen- lal. And In ono moro Instance which uis been brought home to Norfolk , especially that portion of Norfolk In- crested lu the public schools , the eastern demand has boon successful n winning Its prize. Miss Kathryn Slssou , daughter of 'residing Elder and Mrs. V. M. Slssou if this city , who resigned her pnsl- lon as assistant In the Norfolk high school during the present week , will eave Norfolk during the last week of this month for Delaware , Ohio , vhero she goes to assume the duties of Held secretary In the Woman's For eign Missionary society of the Meth odist church for the four stales of Ohio , West Virginia , Kentucky and Tennessee. The new work upon which Miss Sis- son shall enter , has to do with all of hose features of organization with vhlch the society Unit she becomes donllfled , is associated. She will ravel considerably over the four stales attending meetings of all the conferences , and will keep In close touch with the young college women In Institutions thereabout who arc In terested In any way In this work. The district of which she shall have charge contributes annually more than 570,000 for the good of the foreign mis sion work. One woman with whom Miss Sissnn has had considerable cor- espondence Mrs. Gamble , of Cincin nati , contributes $25.000 each year to ward the work. Mrs. Gamble IP the widow of a well known soap manufac turer , has a large Income nnd n Kind- y Interest lu the foreign mission work. Miss Slsson hns agreed to remains nt least five months In the work , and may remain for a much longer period. The society desired an agreement to remain for at least a year , but this she felt unable to give until she had loeomo somewhat acquainted with the field and more definitely determined that she shall be perfectly satisfied with It. War's Effect on Work. "lias the war In the far east any effect upon your work ? " was asked of Miss Sls.son. "No more , " she replied , "than that It has Increased prices In the east very much and thus makes more of a demand on the home society for the living expenses of the missionaries abroad. In connection with the war , Miss Sissbn has received letters from friends who are stationed near the center of conlllct , and who report that they beard distinctly the boom of the guns with which the Japanese army bombarded and finally captured Pen Arthur. Some of the missionaries who were at the seaside report hav ing seen the magnificent display which the warships of all ( he tuitions lu the world afforded. Miss Slsson graduated from the Fremont high school in ISflfi and took her degree from the Ohio Woslyan university In 1901. Since then she had held the highest position bestowed upon a woman In the Norfolk public schools , and the sincere regret ex pressed among the high school stu dents , on every hand , best attests the esteem In which she IK held and the true way In which she will bo missed. Miss SiSKon expects to make her home In Delaware with her sister , Mrs. Lester C. Riddle , who will be remember hero Is Miss Hlldreth Sls son. Rnroute she will stop for a few days at Des Molnes to visit her broth er , Paul , and a day In Evanston to visit Miss Annie McMrido. Miss Watson , for many years con nected with the public schools In Norfolk folk- , will fill the vacancy In the high school made by Miss Slsson's resigna tion and Mr. A. K. Barnes will take up the work of Miss Watson in the eighth grade. SATURDAY SIFTINGS. J. C. Moroy of Pierce is In the city today. Harry Ilirsch is In the city from Wayne. H. J.

The Elks enjoyed a card parly In ( ho club roouiH of ( he lodge last evenIng - Ing which u half hundred inouihorH and their ladles attended. The parly was one of the most enjoyable of I ho season , despite the slonu of the out- sldo world. The went her during the past twen ty-four hours IIIIH varied but slightly. The thenuoiiiHor registered as the maximum point at.ero , and was eight below for the minimum. A Hlrong northwest wind today whipped ( fie loose HIIIIW that had fallen last night , Into the cutH and further difficulty Is anticipated on railroads and country roads. Nellgh Leader : Purlieu from No- llgh have purchased the patent of the Automatic threshold , and will remove the headquarters from Elgin to this city , and engage extensively lu the manufacture of door and threshold strips. It Is known as the llyor A- ! Maban patent , and Is generally ac knowledged to be the best thing of the kind on the market. Fred Koorber says that when the summer time rolls round there'will be enough water In the low spots of South Norfolk to Hood Nebraska. Drifts which look as though they were at least fourteen feet high will , Fred says , melt all In a bunch and drop down Hko a thousand of brick. There will probably bo high water marks made this spring In northern Nebraska , just as there have been rec ords made In the deep snow line this winter. Tuesday evening , February M , will be a notable one for the A. O. U. W. people of this city. On that evening , which is a regular lodge night , F. G.

Every member of lodge No. ! I7 should so arrange bis plans that he can attend the meeting Tuesday even ing. ing.A A report which Is printed In a num ber of state papers regarding the ac cident which happened ( o Howard Ueymer , the Northwestern hrakcmim , ire grossly exaggerated. One report states that Mr. Hecmer was fatally iiirt. This Is entirely unfounded. An other report states that It will be Im possible to save one of the legs and that perhaps the other will bo lost. In fact II Is stated In one report that one log had already been amputated. As a matter of fact the surgeons hope to save both limbs and his friends In Norfolk confidently believe that ho may be saved In this regard. A large number of people attended a very enjoyable recital In the Second Congregational church last night giv en by Master Oscar Schavland of Mad ison , pupil of Mrs. Cora A. Heels , and assisted by Miss Shoff and Miss Hoxle Sturgeon , readers ; Miss Nello Ding- man , soprano ; Master Hay Estahrook , violinist , and Miss Jaycox and Master Lloyd Pasewalk accompanists. Mas ter Scbavland gave his entire program from memory In his own inimitable way , and the audience was pleased to demand extra numbers. The readings by Mss ( Shoff and Miss Sturgeon were highly pleasing nnd the singing of Miss Dlngman was much appreciated while Master Estahrook took a full share of the honors of ( ho evening for his execution on the violin.
