This elicited contrary views by Mr. Norman A , Kuhn , of Omaha , who , though himself a graduate , believed that graduates ot such colleges should bo proud enough nnd able enough to puss examination without slink ing behind tholr diplomas. It was finally re ferred to the committee on legislation to re port nt the next meeting , after which it maybe bo discussed freely. Prof. Wholploy , of St. Louis , was by Invitation requested to ad dress the convention on the subject ot "Tho Mlscroscopo. " In spooking of street fakirs nnd tholr mlscroscopo , ho explained the claims tboy make that their Instruments magnify often n thousand times.when , In fact , It may only magnify an object ten limes as high multiplied by ton times ns long nnd ten times as wide , gives them the right to claim such enormous mag nifying power. They usually show you enormous snakes in ordinary drinking water , which iji fact they had put In from Bour paste they keep for that purpose. When you buy this Instrument you full to find his Biiakeslnp In tbo water you drink. The sci entist's tnlcroscopo was thoroughly ex plained as to Its parts and. uses , nnd the con vention much enlightened. A vote of thanks was extended to the professor for his Instructive lecture. W.

After referring communications nnd papers to the proper committees , the convention adjourned until 2 o'clock ' this af ternoon , when discussions ensued on the ndoptlon of the national formula , as n basis for uniformity In putting up prescriptions nnd preparing mixtures throughout the stato. Tlio propriety of getting the united support of physicians to accomplish this ob- , jcctwas also considered. Some scientific papers were also read. Upon resolution It was decided to be the sense of tbo association that tbo tax on liquors should bo reduced ; that Is , so far as it applied to the drug trade. Not , however , that the United Stales special tax of $ ' > should bo reduced to liquor dealers or sa loon B.

It appears that In 1SS3 ono Shields was doing business in Nebraska und ordered n Dcmicott wagon from the ulaint- iffs , which was sent from Doollttlo & Co. , who were the shipping agents of the luutifTn ! from Lincoln to Liberty. It was ยง ollvercd by the station agent at that place , to ono Elliott , a drayman , who had written authority from the business men ot Liberty to receive goods shiupod to thorn by rail. It appeared from the testimony that Elliott considered Shields was indebted to him and therefore ho did not deliver the wagon , but departed for Colorado , taking It with him. There was some discussion us to th'o legal status of the plaintiffs in Nebraska. Their factory Is located ut Pukin , 111. , but as they do business In Nebraska tboy considered themselves u Nebraska firm , and as such they sued the company for the value of the wugon. The court decided this point In their favor , and the defendant's casa was next taken up. They claimed that they were per fectly Justified In delivering to this mau , nor could they do otherwise , und they were not liable bocuuso ho hud failed In making the delivery. Tbo plaintiff answered that be fore ibis transaction Shields had bocn burned out , und when ho resumed business it was under a firm name , so that bis authorization to the man Elliott ceased and terminated. It was on this state of facts and the Instruction of the court that the Jury took the cuso. Judge Chapman devoted the tlmo of the second court to-day to the consideration of motions and equity cases , most of which were foreclosures , generally unluipoatant Assault nnd Battery. ElmorL. Smith , ono of Iho elorlis In the Burlington car accountant's oftlco , maimed , bruised and bleeding , appeared before Judge Stewart this morning and swore out a war rant for the arrest of William Smith , a loco motive Uroman , charging htm with assault and battery. Though answering to the same cognomen , they ara neither kith or kin , so there Is no humiliation to either of the parties in this. There nro conflicting reports regarding the cause of the fracas , that can only bo determined fairly by the hearing of the caso. If William Is caught to-day the matter will come up for hearing before his honor to-morrow. The fight took place this morning. Against the Burlington. The county commissioners of Lancaster county tiled a complaint before the state board of transportation to-day , alleging that the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy rail road company bad neglected to put n suitable crossing over the roud of tbo company on a nubile highway in Gnrlleld precinct.

A "Biifltlo" In Uenl Estate A very amusing Incident occurred In the wind storm Tu esday. A society younR lady and a young real estate man were the prin cipals. A bank president and a 13KB reporter were the witnesses. It seems that the young lady had bcon shopmng and was going to her carriage , which stood in front of n largo dry goods house. She had several parcels In her arms , when a gust of wind threatened to carry away her new hat To save the latter she dropped ono and the largest of the parcels , which , ol course , rolled off with the wind , nnd would doubtless bo still moving had not the gallant real estate dealer started In pur suit. Just us ho was about to grasp the bun dle the wrapping paper , which had been torn by the wind , como off , entirely disclosing a very large-sized bustlo. The young man picked up the nppenda o , hesitated n mo ment U5 to whether bo bad bettor chase the wr.ippor , or return the Imitation base ball mask to Us fair owner. Ho did neither , but very thoughtfully walked up to the further sldo of the carriage and placed the buitlo under the lap robe , It would bo dllllcult to stnto which was the more embarrassed , the young lady stammering n faint "thank you , " or the blushing youth who had found what ho bad never looked for.

[ Special Telegram to Tun BKK.I It was yesterday definitely Bottled that Horace Greoloy is to have a pub- lie monument iu City Hall square. It has taken nearly seventeen years to roach this result , and finally a formal contract has boon signed for such u memorial with Alex ander Boyle , the sculptor. Shortly after tbo death of Horace Grooloy in 1872 , a largo and influential committee was formed for the collection of money to build a monument to his memory. To tbo appeal of the com mittee there was an immediate rcsponso.and several thousand dollars were contributed. But public Interest in tbo affair soon died out and tbo fund was put on investment. In addition to this amount about $4,000 wai con tributed directly through thuTrlbune. Among Its contributors were George W. Child's and James Gordon Uounett in $1,000 , and other well known editors gave liberally. Without any knowledge of the existence of such a fund , nnd feeling that the memory of Grce- loy had received an unmerited slight from the craft und profession of which ho was a membertypographical union No.G and Horace Greoloy post , Grand Army of the Republic , organized a special movement to raise funds for u fitting statue. The consolidated fund now amounts to $10,000 , but this la insuffi cient for the character of the proposed stat ue , and an organized effort will bo mudo to increase it to $25,000 , which will provide a striking sitting figure us designed by Boyle , with an appropriate pedestal. Systematic appeals to the printers and editorial frater nity of the United States will bo made In order that the monument may have more the character of a national than u local tribute. Should u larger sum than that proposed bo raised , it will go to embellish the details of the design. GOUMAN OH BR1CE. The Struggla for thn National Demo cratic Committee Cliainnnnshtp.

Colonel Brlco Is a candidate for the position , but Senator Gor man is the favorite with many democrats and the main obstacle Is his declaration that ho could not accept the chairmanship.

To some it may appear at Irst blush as chimerical , but the Jobbing ncrchunt , with his oxucriouco In state and district fairs , borso races , etc. , will BOO and appreciate its practicability und benefit at once. The object of the movement Is to en able the retail merchants of Nebraska and adjoining states to become moro directly In- crcsted and personally acquainted with the vholosalo merchants nnd manufacturers of Omaha. It is intended to make the organi zation permanent. The aim Is to make the Movement ns broad und comprehensive ns lossible , with a president , vice president , secretary and treasurer , and a board of dl- cctors composed of ono from each branch of .ho mercantile business , nearly all of these laving ut present , or sooner or later will lave separate trade organizations , such as the grocers' association , tbo Omuhn Iruggists' associalion , the dry goods ussocia- Ion , the commission und produce exchange , .ho . live stock exchange. Tha Press club diould also be included , so that un opportun- ty would bo ottered the members to meet and f raternizo with brothers ot the press rom outside. While the president and the > oard of directors will have general super vision of matters of general interest , each , mdo association can entertain and receive ts customers nnd friends ui such manner ns t may deem appropriate. Half-faro rates over all roads centering m Omaha , and re duced rates at the hotels , should be properly arranged for by the board of directors- "Tho privileges of the "Merchants' Wcok" should bo extended to the families of the vis- ting inorchnuls. Wo want the retail mer chant and his family to como and see Omaha and visit with us ; Inspect our mammoth mor- cunlllo houses , our public buildings , our art galleries , our schools , our churches , our 'arks , our theaters , etc. In short , show .bom . something they have not seen beferc , ind they will begin to appreciate Omaha and ts importance. "Tho time mid duration of the "Merchants' Week , " with other details , can best be agreed upon by the board of dlroclors. The convenience ot country merchants who visit , ho market twice n year to purchase spring ind full stocks , should bo consulted. The jest lime would probably bo April or/Mrrv / In , ho surlng und September in the fall. The length of tlmo for the "Merchants' Week" can bo made to extend for ono or two weeks it a time. IK Boston , I am Informed , they Intend making it two weeks this year.

I'rcslilont Dickinson , It has Just leaked out that there Is a big deal on foot In connection with the South Omaha stock yards. The prlnclo.il feature Is that Ed Dickinson , now assistant gonor.il manager of the Union Pacific , has bocn tendered the position of president nnd con- oral manager of the South Omaha Stock Yards company , and that in nil probability ho will accept IV. John A , McShano , presi dent of the latter company , was somewhat startled when questioned oonccrnlng the matter. Ho said ! "Well , I don't know ns nnylhliic should bo said about , the inntter yet , ns atrnngcincnts hnvo not been fully completed , It Is true , however - over , that on Monday Mr. Paxton and myself waited upon Mr. Dickinson nnd consulted him ni to his assuming direct charge of the cntlro stock yards and busi ness. I am president and an executive o ni cer of the company , but I hnvo not the time to spare which It wants. John F. Hoyd Is general manager nt South Omaha. Wo have concluded that the best way Is to put In n man who 1ms had practical experience in the business. Should Dickinson accept , it will affect the oflletal roster of the stock yards company , and be will bo vested with general nuthorty. Dickinson Is n young man , nnd the position would bo u credit to Iiiin ; while on the other hand , ho lias had experience , nnd being young nnd active , ho could perform tbo duties of tbo oftlco without any Incuinbrauco. "As to his title , I do not know ; It may bo president or It may bo general manager and president. At any rate , bo Is to have abso lute supervision und control of the business of the company. "Wo have not yet obtained n reply to our proposition , and Mr. Dickinson will bo given a few days In which to consider the matter. " It was also learned that the stockyards company had assured Dickinson a permanent position , nnd that the salary would bo nn In- creuso on bis present ouc , which Is $10,000 per year. Mr. Dickinson Is absent at Sioux City and consequently his views on the subject could not bo obtained.- The opinion obtained Is that ho will ucccpt the offer. In such an dvcnt the Stockyards company will reorgan- ire , nnd Mr. McShauo and Mr. Uoyd will resign - sign their positions as president and general malinger respectively. In case Mr. Dickinson declines it Is an nounced that another nvnllablo man will besought sought , ns it is the intention of the company to change its present system of manage ment.

A meeting of the stockholders was hold at South Omaha .Tuesday be hi nit closed doors , when , it is said , all thuse subjects were con sidered. Mr. Dickinson will nrrlvo in Omaha Friday , when it is thought ho will make his decision , and that It will bolathoofllrmatlvo , Is generally expected. Dickinson' * successor.

General Manager Kimball stated that he had not heard of arrangements having bocn * made , although ho had heard that such a change was at ono time under considera tion. tion.As As to Dickinson's successor , In case ho should accept the stockyards management , but little could bo learned. The prevailing opinion is that when a vacancy occurs , C. F. Resseguip , superintendent of the Nebraska division , is the ilrst in the line of promotion , although lie is couiuaratively a now man with the company. Superintendent Hrineker- horff , of the Kansas division , It Is stated , also stands a good show for promotion. Leeds Succeeds Newman. The announcement in Tin : UEE recently to the effect that W. H. Nowuiau would soon tender his resignation as third vice presi dent of the Missouri Pacific , and that J. S.
