already been outlined In these columns.
Ketnil dealers throughout the stnto com
plain that Omaha wholesalers nro nntl havn
been Injuring their business by quoting
prices to every Tom , Dick and Harry and
thus interfering seriously with the retail
trade Tneso aicn want eorno kind of pro
tection from this sort of thing. Just hoxv to
get it und at the same time maintain harmo-
nloua relations with lumberman IB the ques
tion. Whether it would bo better to form n
ntatc creation and take thcso fellows In or
join tli" Northwestern association , which
covers Minnesota , Wisconsin , Dakota and
Iowa , recently organized nt Minneapolis. Is
the most iniDortant motion undisr dis
cussion. E.L. Arnold , president , and M. F.
Khher , secretary of the latter institution
nre linre offering great Inducements for Ne
braska to join tnem.
On this iwint the morning session seemed
to bo nhout equally divided. Chairman Harr
WHS of the opinion that a state association
would accomplish all tbo reform * desired ,
but Mr. Smith seriously doubted it. Ho ad
vocated the advisability of going into tbo
Minneapolis organization for thu reason that
they would then bo able to hold a club over
the heads of tbo Omaha dealers. However
Mr Smith stated that he bad received let
ters from Gray , Deitz , Hoagland , Iho Howell -
ell lumber company and ono or two others ,
assurinc him that any action taken by the
retailers for their betterment would bo
heartily unproved and coincided In by them.
A Ftnto orgnni/ation , sugccsted Mr.
Smith , that would ufllllato with Minneapolis
inmht bo a good thing , "but wo are not
nblo , " he contmuod , "to stand the expense
of MI iniiny association ! ? . "
Mr. Hell of Aurora also took an active
part in the discussion. Ho declared that
the only objection to be rorno\od was the
practice Omaha jobbers have of quoting re-
tall prices to any nnd everybody , and
thought that might easily bo done through a
> f s , " interrupted Mr. Harr , "and if thev
would only keep their noses out of the retail
business and give us fellows a chance to ad
vance prices n fo\v cents wo might then bo
ublo to deal with them. "
Mr Smith struck a oopular cord when ho
ns'ertcd his willingness to take chances with
nny ono or any twenty men who would couio
to his town and invest their money in an es-
tublishpd lumberyard
A rt'nolution lo the effect that NobrnsKa
join the Minneapolis association was laid on
the table
Tne convention re-commenced at 2 o'clock
nt the hoard of trade building , with 1. bmith
of Lurt.s , in the chair.
The election of temporary oflicers was at
OUCH I'ominencu'l and resulted in the election
of the following : J. H. Hell of Aurora ,
chairman ; J. L. Haker of West Point , s > ec-
retari.
U. 1) . Easley of Tails City offered a reso
lution to that effect that a permanent or-
iranizatiou bo formon. The resolution was
unanimously adopted and tno chair was in
structed to appoint a committca on constitu
tion and uv-lavrs. The committee was ap
pointed as follows : I. M. Smith , George
Ford , F. Stratton , W. D. Easloy and
Graham.
After trffl"committee had retired Mr. Porn
of Hooper stated that as ttuiro would bo a
great deal of business done ulneli it would
not bo advisable to have generally known , ho
would move that all the reporters bo ex
cluded. Ho stated that a rcat manv things
would be done winch * bey would not want
the r.irmors' alliance to get hold of.
Ho wus followed by Air. Fried of Fremont ,
who advocated llnng the reporters out for
the same reason.
homo of the cool heads of tno meeting ,
however , scouted the idea that tbo mealing
bad been called for the purpose of forming
n trusl-or doing anything they wcro ashamed
of.
of.A
A substitute was offered Inviting the re
porters to remain , and was carried.
The chairman presented an invitation from
the lumbar dealers m the city to these In at
tendance , muting them to n dinner ot the
Omuha flub at 0 o'clocit , and aftonvnrds to
attend one of the theaters. The mvituliou
was accepted.
A committee on resolutions was appointed ,
consisting of ( Jeorce Ofilerhauut , John Dern
oiid Owen I'lark.
The committee appointed to prepare a con
stitution and by-laws returned with a report ,
whicn wus rend.
A vcr.v long and tedius discussion followed.
The iinncip.il point raised was the number
of vole- , winch should bo allowed to those
dealers who had ceveral yards. It was
llnally decided lo allow each member of the
association ono vote. Where there are two
or more memborti in a firm , as many as nro
members of the association shall bo allowed
to vote. The number ot yards a llrtn may
fcave will have no effect upon the number of
totes aliened that firm.
U \\.ts decided to assess a flue of ? . " > 0
ngamst each wholesaler who sells to a con
sumer in a DJaro where there is a yard. In
t use the wholesaler refuses to subu.it ho is
to bo boycotted by the association.
As it was nearly 0 o'clock when this point

Il.YIMtOADUU THE JOB.
What Ii 71ioiiilit Of That Grnntl
Knplds Dnflk Contract.
The criticism of THE Hun on the action ot
the committed on buildings and property of
the board of education , in contracting for
$1 , < XH > worth of des'-s , has attracted a great
deal of attention.
Mr. Uees said that he had not Dccn able to
Attend the meetings of the board regularly
for some time past because of pressure of
unusual nnvato business , llo did not know
all the circumstances of the cose , yet held
that Bomo of the teachers preferred the
Grand Kapids desk. He was asked if ho
knuw of an instance in which n committee
of the board of education had over cioscd a
contract aggregating flMK ) , and replied
that ho thought ono had , but the amount
decided upon he could not recall. On that
uomt , the secretary , ho thoucnl , could give
the needed information. The instance to
which ho referred was when the board
authorized the committee on text
books to purchase a number of
books before the contract which the board
itself had entered into should c\piro. Up to
the expiration of that time the board was
entitled to purchase all thu books it required
at n certain price. Mr. U es men admitted
that in authorizing the committee to pur
chase a certain number of books at a certain
price per book , it knew exactly what the
cost of nl ! was to be. This of course bo said
was not a parallel case.
i > lr. Hoes further stated that , after the last
trouble with the Grand Kapids company , in
which it demonstrated to bis satisfaction
that Fassct. the ajreut , had given S-5 to Bill
Morrow , who was then uneraplojoof the
board , the latter adopted a resolution to the
effect that no further transaction would bo
had by the board with that company until
that monetary transaction could ba satisfac
torily explained.
Mr. Hees said ho could not say whether
or not that explaiflktion had been made , but
ho know that I-'nsset had \\rltten letter
letter upon that or some other subject to tbo
board. -
Mr. Fred McCoanoll , another mombar of
the board , said that he was not a member of
Iho committee on buildings and property ,
which of course is pretty well understood.
With regard to the giving of authority to the
commitU'O m question to close a contract for
the purchase of goods ho said it was custom
ary in such mutters to grant such autbonty
when it was o ( small imnort , such , for in
stance , as the purchase of u stove or some
thing like that ; but it the authority were
granted to make the purchase of desks re
ferred to it was granted without an appre
ciation of the importance of the transaction.
President Goodman was told of the cir
cumstances of the letting of the contract and
naked whether that document would have to
bo signed by him as president of
the board. Ho said that be
thought it would because that was
one of the duties of the position. Ho did
not know wh'it the disks wcro to cost and
thought that the other members were
equally uninformed on the subject. When
motions were uiado giving committees
power to act , he generally inquired what
was the amount involved. In tm * case ho
had inlendeu lo m.ikr. this inquiry , but had
in the rush of business overlooked the mat
ter. Ho would not ow sign tbp contract
bccauso the amount of money mvolwd was
too largo for any co'uniitteo to contract for.
Mr. Goodman then called up Secretary
Piper and learned that the committee had
been authorize , ] to purcimso the desks nnd
sign the contract so that nothing was lel't
lor the president to do in the promises.
Mr. Ciooil'.rian V.MS told that it had been
alleged by some of the parties to thu action
of tno conniMtteo that haste was required so
that the tchools in mind might be in readi
ness at a certain time for the accommodation
of children. Ho replied that that wus all
nonsense because it was just us easy to cult
u special mcutnig of Iho board as u was of
the committee.
Mr. W. S. Ponpleton , a member of the
committee in question Raid :
"I was not nt the meeting which handled
the matter. 1 had heard that nomcthinc of
the sort was coming up , but was engaged at
the district court that morning nnd could not
attend. The law says that 'no expenditure
creator than $ 'JOO hull be voted by the
board cscent lu accordance with thoprovi-
bion of a written contract , ' which , of course
means signed by the president. I tircsumo
the contract was only act-opted , to bo signed
nfterworos. "
Ibis opinion differs from that of tbo sec
retary , \sho , as abo\e shown , holds that thu
president has nothing to do with tbo matter.
After the cotiiunUebad announced its agree
ment Aeont Fassett invited Kelly , Wooley ,
Wohorer and a Janitor or two lo a neighbor
ing saloon where the company , it is alleged ,
hud the pleasure of getting on the outsidoof
a quantity of wet gonas , Iteforo Fassott
got out of town in the evening ho bad what
i * familiarly termed a jap. ' ] ho members of
the committee refused to any no each lime

the bar hoi to "rill 'cm up again. "

The M ivor on a Hunt.
Deputy Sheriff Palik came down from
Omaha Tuesday to ecrvo the papers on
Mayor Sloano in the school election man-
aamus case brought by A. B. Haley , but ar
rived too IRIO to secure personal servii-o on
the city's chief magistrate. The mayor had
left on n duck huntine expedition nn hour
before that will cover three or four days.
The mayor s action in absenting him
self from the city Just at this
time is commented on even by
his strongest inends. While Mayor Sloano
has had the trip in contemplation for u num
ber of aa s it is held that ho might have
postponed it for awhile in view of the fact
that bo was to be called into the courts on u
question of vital interest to tbo taxpayers of
South Omaha.
What I'ffect his absence will have on the
mandamus proceedings cannot bo told now.
Attornov Udgerton will defend tno mayor's
election call uhcn the case is called , provid
ing the court will allow him to do so with
out the presence ot tLo mayor. There is no
certamtv , though , that the permission will
be granted. _

Fiction has told many tales of the sea
that are less interesting than an actual
adventure that hot'cll the British steam
ship Caledonia , which arrived here this
inortiinp from Gibraltar , says the Isew
York Commercial Advertiser.
Vlicn the Caledonia was fairly on
her voyage to America , having passed
northwest of the Muderia islands , she
sighted in the dusk of the evening of
February " 0 a vessel of peculiar rig.
She appeared to be. neither ship , baric ,
brig iior schooner , and from one mast
was discerned , with the aid of a marine
glass , a signal of distress.
The Caledonia shifted her course and
bore down on the queer looking craft.
\ \ hen within lew--hundred
u - - yards a
small boat was lowered , manned and.
sent oil to the Satrange vessel. As the
small boat was rowed away The crew
and ollicer.s romiuning on the Caledonia
made a carefuluxaininatioD , of the ves
sel , and luiuuina cnnviueod timt her
experience had been no ordinary
one , even for a mid-winter
voyage. Her topmasts. which
were partly splintered , had strings of
sails lluttering from them , and } ury-
masU roughly rigged where the good
spars had been srtept away. Her bul
warks were jrirtly gone , and in her
forecastle could be seen a large hole
with splintered edge.as if a cannon ball
had slrucu it. Her yards hung to the
masts lit all angle ? , and bhe was rigged
apparently as chance and the means at
hand permitted.
When the boat's crew drew alongside
they were greeted with the angry bark
ings of a gaunt-looking dog. The ani
mal ran abont the ilcck in a frenzy of
excitement , snapping at pbjecis that
came in its way , and giving vent lo
sounds bo terrible that the boat's crew
concluded that the dot : had gone mid.
Finally the animal ran into the fore
castle ana the crew , leaping on the
deck , locked it it.
Other sounds came from a small box
forward of the deckhouse , which ap
peared to bo the plaintive ciies of an
infant. The crew , upon investigation ,
found a little pig eo weak from starva
tion that it could not stand. After
feeding both of the famishing brutes ,
the crew , with frightened stops , \\ent
aft of the cabin fully expecting to lind
the cicw of the ill-fated bark , dead or
perhaps dying with hunger. The cabin
wiii deserted. On the Hours lay papers ,
books , clothing , chests and tobacco.
Among the papers wa- , found a clew to
the strunge vessel's identity. The paper
stated that she was the Norvrc-gian bark
Progress of Grimsiead , 4i57 tons burden ,
thirteen years old , and bound from
Monte do Cristo to Altona , near Ham
burg , with a load of dye-wood. Only
a hint of her voyage and the fate of her
crew was given in an entry in her log
book , which said that on February 'M
she was struck by a hurricane which
tore away her sails and top-musts and
in an instant killed two seamen who
wore aloft at the time , alto sweemng
her second olllcor and the man at the
wheel into the sea.
The crow remained on bDard of the
bark at night , and in the morning ,
alter shooting the dog and pig , set her
ono flro.
Several days ago a dispatch from St.
John. Now Brunswick , announced the
arrival of a shii/wrecked crew at that
port , which said they were taken from
the ship Progro , but they may bo the
survivors of the Progress.
