There uru ntirally ninny clumcnU
that combine to make a city a prosperous
one , nni ! it is beyond question tliut tins
lioanl of trade of this city lias ilunumuru
than any other one element in furthorim :
the prosperity of Omaha. In this organ
ization arc combined the thrift , the busi
ness , tliu capital and the integrity of the
pile dty , and through the ellbrta of this
combination Omaha is what it Is to-day
ix city with nearly 100,000 Inhabitants ,
a city with tins railway facilities that are
the equal ol any other city iu the west , a
city with millions of dollars
invested In substantial business
houses , with many more mil-
ions planted In industries of all
kinds , and a city that has a future before
It that no other city in the union qnn
boast of. 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. It was largely attended
and 11. S. Clark was ehoscn chair
man , andV. . C. II. 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. At a meeting hold March 18 , at
Which a constitution and set of by-laws
were adopted and signed by twenty-
seven persons that night. A meeting for
the election of ollicer.s was held March
10 and the following were elected the
Fiiisr opnciits : OK THE IIO.UID.
A. . } . 1'opplcton , president ; .lames K.
Hoyd , Kltim Clark , Samuel K. Jordan ,
( ! . \V. \ Lminger , vice-presidents. At tin
next meeting held March 21 , the direc
tors were elected as follows- ( J. Clark ,
chairman : Charles 15. Wells , secretary ;
Peter K. Her , Kdward Uoddis , W. .J.
liroatch and K. C. McSlmnu. 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. The list of presidents
succeeding Air. I'opnleton is as follows :
John Kvans. 1878V. ; . J. Hroatch , 18711 ;
James K. Hoyd , 1880 and 1881 II. ( J.

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.
The structure cost iioont ? ! )0,000. )
In January , 1884 , Max Meyer was
elected president of the association , and
he has hold that ollico ever since. It is
the intention ot the organization to open
A TltAIUNU IIOAUI )
within a few weeks , and committees are
now liaid at work upon rules and regu
lations to govern the organization as a
trading body.
The board is now installed in its now
building , and one of the features of the
body is
TIIK KRKimrr HUIKAU ,
of which W. F. ( iritliths is commissioner.
This department was established June
1 , 1887 , and is now beginning to get into
good working order. Its object is the
protection of the mercantile , commercial
and manufacturing interests in connec
tion with railways , rates and competition
ot other cities.
The rooms of the board are open from
1) ) a. in. to 5 o'clock in the afternoon , and

ness hours

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

rooms from the corner ot Sixteenth and

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

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.
