Much of this is all due to the indefatigable efforts of the members of the board of trade , both individually and collectively. This organi/ation was born in 1877. It was on a monday evening , March 5 , that pursuant to a call signed by llfty-elght of the business men of the city that a meet ing was held in the parlors of the ( irnnd Central hotel.

Allen , secre tary of the temporary organi zation. .James France o lie red a resolu tion that the sense of the nu-olinc was to the ellect that a board of trade was a necessity. After considerable dissension , all of which was favorable to the project , a committee was appointed to prepare a constitution. Another meeting was hold at the same place Alarcli S , and the or- gani/.ers were given much good advice and instruction by I ) . C. Lincoln , at that time the president of the Chicago board of trnde.

In the meantime a committee was hard at work securing and furnishing new rooms , and on tlie evening of April 4 , the apartments that had been secured in the Orand Cen tral hotel were opened to the public. Tims was born the organization that has increased the wealth and prosperity of Omaha , and ever .since then it has been active in furthering the interests of the city in every way.

I'aleonor , 188-1. A STKl' roilWAHO. In the fall of 1881 with a view of strengthening the organi/ation.the mem bers took active steps toward thoroughly uatablKsiiing a board of trade as a com mercial body. Ninety of the old mem bers came to the front and subscribed $100 each , and lifty-soyen new mem bers came in with $185 each. making a total of $1(1 ( , 185 , They all signed the following agreement attached to the constitution and by-laws : " \Vo the undersigned desiring to main tain a commercial exchange to promote uniformity in the customs and nsage of merchants , to inculcate principles of justice anil equality , to facilitate the speedy adjustment of busi- inoss pursuits. to acquire and disseminate valuable commercial ami economic information , to promote- the commercial , manufacturing and genera" interests of the city of Omaha , and generally orally to secure the benefits of co-opera lion in the furtherance of our legitimate pursuits , do hereby agree to be governed by the articles of incorporation under which the Omaha board of trade now ex ists , and by the by-laws and rules. " The new articles of incorporation were filed December 15 , 188 1 , and were signed by N. H. Faleonor.Max Mever\V. J. liroatch , A. J. 1'oppleton and twenty others. After the re-organi/ation steps were taken toward the erection of a new build ing , and for this a .site had to bo pur chased. The most favorable location to bo found was the one upon which they decided to build , and this was purchased from the city of Omaha for the sum uf $13,000 , the price being made low , owing to the good purposes of the organization. In May , 1800 , the corner stone of the new building was laid , and there is now erected on the site one of the most sub stantial and beautiful structures to be found within the limits of the state.

I'lio Board of Trniln The design for the building was exe cuted by the architects , Mendelssohn V l.owrie , to conform to their chosen motto of "Dignity and Simplicity , " and the tin ished structure shows how happily the design has been realized. The building is metropolitan in every respect , and equal to any building of the same dimensions either in New Yorker or Chicago. The exterior is designed in the style now so much in vogue in the large eastern cities , where rich ma terials and superior workmanship have taken the place of cheap galvam/.ed iron work , with its intricate combinations of rosettes and scrolls ; with gables lifting thnir ponderous mouldings into tlie sweep of a steamboat paddle wheel. In the board of trade building , smooth , rubbed stone and galvanized iron trimmings have given way to red pressed brick , plain nnd moulded , and to ornamental and moulded terra cotta. In the deep , glowing red of St. Louis and Chicago pressed briok , in stretches of plain wall spac.es , broken by large win dow openings , trimmed with richly moulded brick at the jambs and panels ; of ornamental brick between the arches and sills of the windows ; with the rich and massive stone basement walls and entrances , with their granite columns and carved cans , is presented an ellect of dignity , simplicity , anil beauty. The building measures 08 on Farnam street , which includes the party wall , and 1I2 ! feet on Sixteenth street. It is six stories high including tqc basement. The basement contains seven ollices and a room ! 2i\ii' ( ) , which is arranged to accommodate a kitchen , butler's and steward's pantries , : v wine cellar , a store room , , etc. There are three entrances to the corridor in the basement one direct from Sixteenth street , one direct from urn alloy , to accommodate the kitchen department , and one throimh the eleva tor and main stairs. All of the basement ollices are provided with1 lire-proof vault and have entrances both from the side walk and the corridors. The lirnt story contains four ollices anil a room which can be used for a dining room. Fire-proof vaults are also provided for the ollicos on this lloor. I'horo are four entrances to the corn- dors of this lloor one. > n Fnrnam street , one on Sixteenth street , one from tin alley , and one entering the banking rooms from the corner ot Sixteenth and Farnam streets. The second story contains fifteen oilier sthe board of trade room am the directors' and soon ) tarv's ollicc.s. Hot ween th * first and sec nml . torii.s ! , opening from the stair plat form , is provided a large toilet room re served exclusively for the lady clerks. The third tory contains fourteen elli ccs , the fourthfourteen and the fifth , thn same number , making a total ot lift.t olllcos in the building exclusive of the board room and the two largo rooms be low in the lirst-story basement. The otllcc's in the northwest corner of the building in all thn stories contain lire- proof vaults. The passenger elevator and the main stairs are placed at the Fftrnam ttreet entrance.

' The rrcalctent of the Itnaril. A history of the Omaha board of trade would bo incomplete without a biography of the man who has been associated with it from its birth , and who has been its president for the last three consecutive years. It is Max Meyer , a man who is identilied with the growth of Omaha. It is largely due to his exertions that the board of trad ? was organized , ami there is no member who has been more grati- lied at its success and brilliant proipcets than ho is. Not only is ho interested in the association , but als-o in almost every other organization that is for the interest of Omaha. Max Meyer was born in Prussia , < ! er- many , August Ut , ItUH. Them he re ceived his early education , and at the ago of thirteenhe left that country , came IUTOSS the big pond and landed in New Vork city. There ho found himself in a strange land , without a frieirl and tin able to nndnrMand or sneak a word ( if the English language , lie was but a few days in finding employment , and during the succeeding four years after his ar rival , ho hold a position in , i fancy goods house. At the end of that time ho went to Petroleum City , Pcnii , where hn re mained a year in the cigar busi ness for himself. The Hold , hou- ivor , was not largo enough to sat isfy him , ami in ISOfi Inramo to Omaha and opened a small cigar and tobacco store on the southwest corner of Klcvonth and Farnam streets The building he occupied he re waf on a lot adjoining the .site of the old Kmpiro ho tel. UN business grow rapidly , and after two years in that little More ho ni'ivud tea a larger onn on the southeast corner ol the same streets. In this location hn re mained for five years. Ho was then forced to .seek larger quartets , Hint ho moved into the Creighton block , north' west corner of Furnam mid Kit-Tenth streets , in this location ho remained Jn the meantime Ins brother Adolnh , came on from New Vork , and the two * * purchased . IjCraeken's music store sin Douglas street. They ran the two stores together as nartners. The music store soon bnoame too small , and better quarters were found in Cen tral block , where the ninsii ; business was moved , and remained for ten years. Their business grew continually , and in 1881 they moved into the block that they now occupy , and which they own. In their store are to-day employed sixty-live persons , and on the road are twelve drummers. Thus is shown the remarKable marKablo growth of a poor boy from an obsoMro position to one of wealth ami inllnence. As was stated above , ho was not * niono promi nently identified with the board of trade , but he is also alike prominent in many other organizations , lie was grand patriarch of the grand encampment of of the I. O. O. F. , of the state of Nebraska in 1881. is a director of the Omaha Sav ings bank , president of the Kvnosition ljuilding association , treasurer of the German club and is prominently eon- eonneeti'd with many other organi/.a- TIIK C.VITM : Denial ( iI'aHUnilcroUN Olnpntoh I'rnm lint Siriimn | , Dakota. In the Sunday IHK : of September 25 there appeared a sensational dispatch from Hot Springs , Dakota , regarding Mrs. Kmma J. Reid , who was referred teas as "a cattle queen well known in Omaha. " It was stated in the dispatch that she "got on what the cowboys call a 'high lone- .somc' about the 1st of September and caused the arrest of a young colored man whom she charged with an assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit the crime of rape. " The examination of the negro resulted in his discharge. The dispatch concludes as follows : "From the first the sympathy of the whole coun try has been with the defendant , and every one believes that the prosecution has attempted to cloak her shortcomings by prosecuting an innocent negro. The decision of Justice Wood in discharging the defendant irivo universal satisfac tion. On beingdischarged the defendant commenced an action against the alleged cattle queen for the sum of if O.OOO dam ages for defamation of character am false imprisonment. " An investigation into this ull'air on tlrt part of the llii : : shows that the dispatcb is untrue in several important particu lars. It might bo inferred from tlic cx nression "a high lonesome" that the ladj is accustomed to indulge in intoxicant ] to excess and go upon solitary sprees. Such , however , is not the fact , as she u not only temperate , but a relined lady , the mother of several children and ol good standing socially. While bein convoyed from Ji di.stant ranch to the Hot Springs the negro driver of the ve hicle attempted a criminal assault upon her near the Cheyenne river. Fortun ately he was under the influence of liquor to such an extent that the lady hail no great dilliculty m getting him out of the wagon. Had she received any injury at his hands , or had ho been arrested'on the first warrant from Ouster county , In which the lady's brother made the com plaint , and trom which h > j escaped by a technicality , ho would never have lived to bo tried anywhere. The dismissal of the negro by the prejudiced judge of a de.siTted stage ranch , remote from civilization , will not prevent his trial before the next term of the district court. If there has been any suit brought against her , the complaint has not yet been lilod. The statement that the sympathy of the whole country has boon with the negro defendant is evidently talse , because when the case was called at Hot Springs ho got a change of venue to Cascade , on the ground that ho could not g < ? 4 a fair trial at Hot Springs. The tact is that the sympathy was entirely with Mr.s. Reid. That she is a wronired and persecuted woman seems to bo the fact so far as can at present bo ascertained. It would seem , under all the circum stances , that the dispatch from Hot Spring" was smuggled into print by parties who are interested for certain reasons in besmirching the character of the lady , if possible. She hopes to be utile , at no distant day , to pro\o this , ami possibly show up a conspiracy.
