[ Special to TUB HUB. ] What action should the anti-monopoly republican conference , held at Lincoln May 00 , take for the best Interests of all concerned i In answer to this inquiry , the following Is a Bcrics of Interviews obtained from the lead ing.republicans of the city , including the anti-monopoly element : ' Hon. C. A. Connor If I properly compre hend the full Import of your Inquiry , I would answer us follows : The Jlrst action of the conference should bo to formulate , and then express In concise but popular form the actual grievances of the people ple of Nebraska. The second action should bo to strongly favor the free coinage of silver and to urge our delegation in congress to favor such inniumro without reserve. The third action should bo to provide ways and moans for tbo general publication of the formulated expression of the conference , and the adoption of necessary means to secure the hdarty co-operation of all republicans who favor such reforms. Morris Ilrown It seems to mo that the funnel's of Nebraska should bo allowed to iiiiino the candidates and to dictate the plat form of the renublican party In this state this ' Tear. This Is an agricultural state. The furmors compose , by a largo majority , the population ot the state and tbo republican party is great imough and should bo generous ukougli to proffer aid and assistance to the op pressed fiirmor element , which in Justice de mands recognition and nu opportunity , at lou-st , to hotter Its condition by controlling the politics and the ofllccs of Nebraska. Hon. II. C. Andrews : My opinion is that it would bo for the best interests of all con cerned If the members of the anti-monopoly conference at Lincoln MayiiO would incut and adjourn without taking any dellnlto action- Tell them to go homo and allow the dog to wag the lull Instead of the tall trying to wag the dog. John II , Hoe : The anti-monopoly delegates to tlio con lorciico should go homo , work for tbo beat Interests of the republican party and Its nominees , allowing the Farmers' alliance to take care of itself politically.

LONO 1'ixn , Nob. , May 12. [ Special toTiin Bin : , ] Speaking to the leading republicans of this town and county regarding their views upon the anti-monopoly question and particularly what action the anti-monopoly republican conference should take for the best Interest of all concerned , your correspondent llnds tb to be the substance of their views : They all think that considerable legislation is necessary for the purpose of curbing mon opolistic pqwor and Lnlluence , and bring thorn to n position in which they cannot ' control all legislation and the judiciary , and to regulate railroad rates so that there will bo scarcely no discrimination. They are nearly nil conservative in their vlows regarding this mutter , and while they ara In favor of strict , legislation regulating railroads , they nro not BO radical as toiry to deprive these monopo lies from making a good fair interest on their capital Invested , and art ) not desirous of passing sumptuary laws which would have u tendency to keep capital nwny from the Htate. They claim railroads havn done n great amount of good for Nebraska , und if laws wore passed which would nllnw thorn to make fair dividends i und not mi oh hoggish sums its have been made since- the war , then the rich man would not have such enormous wealth and tlio poor man such enormous poverty. They nro de sirous of passing laws which will cntiso com- Jort to the greatest number. They also nsk eucli legislation us will not Imvo u tint of persecution connected with it , but to oneour- ngo rnllioad building and cause them to scale ' their proll j lllto the miners and iron men of Pennsylvania compel their employers to do , Avhtch would cnuso the rich man to lese a ' low million ! ) , which they can very well Btan'il , uiid the poor mini may have a few , more dollars. They want thu greatest good for the greatest number. Cass Oounty ICepublluans Spenk. PumsMOimi , Neb , , May I'J. [ Special to 1'iit ; HKI : . ! The sentiment In regard to tbo anti-monopoly republican conference seems to bo divided in this community. One very Si l prominent politician expressed himself as * ugalnst such a move , as ho thought It would end disastrously to tbo party throughout the otato. Ho thought it would bo best to wait un til after the state convention aiuUheu lot the nntl-mpnopollsts endorse the republican can- atdatcs. Others spoke in favor of such a move , und sold It would bo llko being re leased from bondage. John A. Davies , for two vears president of the Young Men's Uo- jiublleuu cfub , qulto a factor in local polities , "I believe the conference will awaken one party to tUtf necessity of making county and etuto nominations which will moot thonp- iirovul of the producing classes , and unless buoh nominations are made there Is danger of n revolt which will Imperil the success of our uokot. Certulnlv ono of the must , if uot the post important duty Unit will devolve upon coming county conventions will bo the selec tion of delegates to the state convention and nil republican * interested In the success of the party and the nomination of the party's boAttnrn should commence thotr activity at prinmrv elections mid HPIU ! only such men to the county conventions as represent their in terests and who will vote fer state delegate accordingly. I think the conference should recommend that delegates present In the next state convention cast the vote of their re spective delegations and thus , if ircsslblc. relegate the proxy business to the columns ol 'loHtnrts. ' The twlftlcal situation Is well understood , and it is not probnblo that the people will bo deceived by corK > nitlon candi dates posing upon anti-corporation forms , " Judge 8. M. Chapman , judgeof the district court , mild : "Owing to the manner In which my lime has been taken up I have paid very little at tention to state iwlltlcs and hardly know the objeet of the convention called for May -X. well enough to express an opinion. If it Is for the purpose of consultation by that portion tion of the republican party which objects to corporate abuses and Interference with healthful legislation , I tun sec no objection to the meeting. At any rate , the men in charge of the movement cannot be accused ol a secret connivance within the party to ac complish n iiicstlonabla | end. They are not going olT Into n dark corner to plot their ttenson , If treason it is , which I am quite sure It Ls not. If It is a scheme to foist some ambitious republi cans of anti-monopoly tendency Into olllco It will miscarry of Its own weakness. If It Is tin honest conference of those who seek tbo welfare of the party und of tbo people no ono ought to criticise It. There certainly is no good reason why the mosses of the republican party of this state should not look after the coining legislature mid .see to it that represen tative men are scut to Lincoln next winter. I believe in working out needed reforms within the party and where questions of great public moment have been duly agi tated thu republican party hits always proved the party of progress. So. I conclude that the meeting of May L'O will not , do any harm and may accomplish much good. "Times uro dull and prices forprodueosolow that agricultural pursuits nro no longer re- miinoruUvo ; many causes contribute to bring about this state of affairs which the dema gogue Imagines ho can always explain to the farmer ; high rates of transportation nro doubtless ono cause , overproduction another , und mismanagement of private affairs another , and bv no means the least. The op portunities foi spceulatlon and the amassing of wealth lu this country breeds extravagance and the moment a man lives beyond his in come hard times becomes bis companion , then ho is easy to make believe public affairs are mismanaged. " The Ouster County Sentiment. BIIOKUX Bow , Neb. , May 12. [ Special to Tan Bin : . ] The anti-monopoly republican conference to bo held at Lincoln , May i.0 , is being qulto freely discussed by republicans and alliance men Jhere. Your correspondent Interviewed representatives of the different parties on the subject. G. U. Humphrey , republican central com- mittceinan for lirokcn How , sidd : "Tho ac tion taken by Loose , Dempster and the other fellows at Lincoln recently is all right. Straight republican anti-monopoly action is what wo want. What some members of the farmers' alliance propose to accomplish by independent action can bo accomplished bv the republican party and will bo accomplished much more readily than through a new partv. if the conference to beheld ut Lincoln thu2i > th is composed of republicans who nro friendly to the true principles of the party , who will take dellnito but conservative action , much good will result to the parly and Interests of the people of the state. " J. S. Klrkpatrlck The movement is all right. The conference should bo held and the anti-monopoly principles of the republican party set forth and carried out In the next campaign. "U'o want no independent partv action , as these principles will bo carried out by the republicans. The step taken by Keek- ley , Loeso , and others In calling the confer ence Is nlvisoono. County Attorney II. M. Sullivan I have not given the mutter much consideration of late , but the republican party is uud always has been the party of antt-mouopoly princi ple jituU tuo party should and will take action In this state In favor of these principles , and Iain Inclined to think the step taken by the boys at Lincoln the other day is all right. Several other leading republicans were in terviewed , all of whom gave views similar to these abovo. Several Farmers' alliance men were lilter- vlawod , und while all agree that some such action us proposed byLcoso and others should bo taken , they differ as to the best plan. The moro level-headed end conservative men say : 44Tho desired results will bo much moro readily attained through the old party , " while the moro radical and hot-headed , and all the "sore-heads" maintain that indepen dent party action is the bettor plan. The farmers alllaueo Is stronger lu Custcr county than In any other county in Nebraska , and their ac- concernlng tills matter will unquestionably bo felt. The majority of the members are honest fanners whoso desire is to take the best plan to bring about needed legislation , while there are others , uud as a rule the more active ones are the demagogues and "soreheads" from the old parties. Your cor respondent Is of the opinion that If the farmers were left to decide the matter unin- llucnccd and undeceived by Iheso croakers there would be no independent party action , but the priucplos of anti-monopoly favorable to the musses would bo carried out uud that it would bo done through the republican party. Hamilton. County. Auuotu , Nr.ii. , May U ! . [ Special to Tun BRB. ] The BEB correspondent called on u number of tfio' leading republicans of this county , and asked them what action , In their Judgment , the anti-monopoly republican eon- fereneo , ( to bo held at Lincoln , May Oth. ) should take , for the best Interests of till con cerned. Ho found .Tmlgo Stark surrounded by n stack of formidable locking tomes , and deeply Immersed In looking up some abstruse problem of law , or theology. In answer to the query , the Judge said : "I cannot say , because I shall not attend and believe that good and patriotic men will bo there , and after a face to face talk , will evolve something fer the betterment of all. "If in your question you mean the arrange ment and method of political conventions , I am personally convinced that one of the greatest evils in this stuto is the admission of proxies , and If all that that meeting does Is to banish proxies they will have done a great work. . "I tell you there Is too much delegation of power in this country to suit mo. Of course wo have the representative system in our government , and with that t have no quarrel , but when wo say that the sovereignty under our form of government is in tha people it moans that the ultimate sovereignty Is in the people , they exercise It at the ballot box ; un der our form they are almost compelled to cheese between two or three persons , "Let mo illustrate : The two members of the legislature from Hamilton county and the senator from this district , Imvo delegated to them all the sovereignty of every citizen of Hamilton county to speak by legislative en actment. Now It seems to mo that the right of selecting the political candidate is as valu able us sulliiigo Itself. Now if wo go to a great deal of trouble to elect delegates to the conventions , thereby conferring on them thu power tonamo the po litical candidate for whom wo shall veto , why not delegate to somebody else the right to cast our ballot ut un election 1 There is as much reason iu the ono as in the other. I can see no reason why u common every dav man cannot select directly his candidate at the primary olcotlon , as well as select the ticket for which his ballot is cost. The moment , tiowovor , that you attempt to change the con vention plan , it comes within tlui remarks of friend Heed lu thu North American Kevlow , that Is that 'tho objections to a now plan are all that the human mind can think of , while the objections to nu established usage are only these which actually exist. It takes but little Intellect to put your foot lu a track al ready made. ' "Thoso men who meet at that convention ought to 11ml BUIUO way by which the people can exercise moro control in nominations than they do under our present system. It appear * : o mo that our people are too much given to looking after details and lese sight of tUo great proposition which is underneath. " General Dclovan Hates replied with charuo- torlatlo brevity : "Advise county conventions 10 instruct delegations , allow no proxies testate state conventions , but lot the delegates who are present cast tuo whole vote of tuo county 'Win whence they oamo ; lot tbo platform bo broad enough to hold everything but demo crats , " Suporiutouddut of Schools , M. F. Stanley I believe that In the main tha convention will have a tendency to consolidate and har monize the dissatisfied elements of the republi can party. If the republican pnrty wins next fall , the stale and congressional conventions must nominate men who have roonls un tainted. I do not Ixillvo "Unit thn alliance members will support unv candidate Who Is known ns u machine politician , or railroad tool , neither do I Iwlievo that that they will play the Urown-Sominrd net , and Inject new life. Into any old'broked down politicians , Hon. D. 1C. Kcovlllo , representative for thU county , said : "Whatever pultton the confer ence takes , should ba founded upon right and justice , nnd not for the purposeof currying favor with the alliance or any other organiza tion. tion."Whilo I do not bollovo there Is n single re publican lu Nebraska Who questions the leal attainments , or unimpeachable Integrity of Judge Norval , the manner In which Judge Ueesi5 was displaced has awakened wide spread dissatisfaction with methods by which tlio known wish of 11 large majority of the people of this state was thwarted and Ig nored at the lust state convention. "That the farmers and laboring classes hnvo Just raiixn for belmr restive under the present condition of affairs cannot bo ques tioned. 1 think the conference should use all Its iiillucneu lo assure the calling of nn early convention , and if. possible , do away with the proxy business , I favor the calling ofnn early convention , because I have such unbounded faith in tlio republican party that I believe tbo platform It will formulate nnd the men It will nominate enii. well afford to stand the test of u long and critically searching cam paign. "I think the conference ought to take action , nnd that In no uncertain way , In do- mundlugof our senators and representatives lu congress legislation restricting the trans fer of causes from the state to the federal courts for no other reason than that some at torney may squeeze u fee out of the unfortu nate farmer who Is destined not only to lose his home , but probably the labor of a life time. " Ev-Senator F. C. Putnam I think the re publicans must recosni/o the fact that there Is a farm element throughout this state to Ivhleh the party must accord the same privi leges and representation us to other elements and interests , In proportion to their numbers. I don't claim it all for the fanner , neither do they want it all , but they must have their fair share of representation. Railroad rates are too high in this state ; according to Loose's re port , two or three times us high as in Iowa. That is not right , and I have always claimed that on through rates wo ought to have. "within a trillc , the same rates as Iowa , and I think action should be taken by the republican conference , ' looking to the remedying of these things. I bollovo if the republican party goes ut it in a business way. and tries to enact something which would bo fair and equitable to all sides , that much good would result. But I am confident that If the republican party holds its position iu this state it must do it by acknowledging the alliance as an Important factor in iwlitlcs , and by giving it such recognition us it is en titled to. Ex-Mayor A. N. Thomas did not care to express an opinion as to what action the con ference should take. Personally ho is In favor of national uud state legislation on rail roads. Itailroads are the creatures nnd ser vants of the people , and should bo controlled by the peoplo. Ho is heartily In favor of such action by tbo party , as looks In that direction. _ _ POLICE AND FIHK COMMISSION. OUlccr Graliiini anil I-'Ircinnii Hnnnuii Dismissed from the Clty'H Employ. Promptly on time the members of the lire and police commission convened last night. Detective Ellis was charged with being off duty on the night of May 10 without llrst having obtained a permit. Ellis pleaded guilty and said he went to Lincoln with a party of friends. It had been reported that Special Oftlecr Graham had interfered with Deputy United States Marshal Lyons while removing squat ters from the bottoms. Mr. Lyons was called to testify , nnd swore that Graham did not molest him. It was nlso charged that Graham was under the influence of liquor , which occasioned , u light when ho was on duty. To this last charge air. Lyons swore the special man was drunk. Chief Scavey stated that the ofllcer wore a star , but was not'on the elty'pay-roll. Officer Scott was called to the bar on the charge of having been oft duty slnco May 2 without having asked permission. In mitiga tion the oillccr showed a certificate from the city physician showing that during two days of the time ho was too sick to walk a beat. A number of reports were read , showing that Scott had been drinking and was drunk n creator portion of the time. This the ollleer denied and stated that be bad not drank a drop , only as medicine. Ho fuithcr stated that during the time ho was off duty he had frequently telephoned to the Central station to report that ho was unable to appear. Asst Chief Halter of the lire department re ported that Mike H nnun of hook and ladder company No. 1 lott the engine bouse nt I : 'M in the afternoon , and when ho returned nt midnight ho was drunk. This happened on the night of the 10th Inst. , and at ouco Mike's buttons wore taken off and ho was suspended. J. F. Dempsey of the Omaha house , on Harney street , was called iu to be told that Sunday , April SO , bo was charged with sell ing liquor contrary to the ordinances of the city. Dempsey said , it was a lie , as ho had never sold liquor on Sunday. John Anderson said that on the day named , early iu the inornlnr , ho went down the alloy and squeezed through Dcmpsey's back door. After ho got inside he and some of his friends chipped in nnd bought a bottle of beer , which they drank. Anderson thought there were twenty persons in the room ut the time , and while he and his friends wore drinking bottled beer , the others wore drinking bock beer and whisky. John Brunei1 was acquainted with Domp- soy's saloon , and on the Sunday named ho went up through the alley , entered the back door of the saloon , and drank whisky and beer , which was brought to him and his friends while they sat on a bench. Doteotivo Haze passed the saloon on- the Sunday named and saw a number of parties in tbo front room drinking. Ho stopped , tried the door , uud us soon as the parties saw him they went out the back door. Jailor Bebout was with Huzo uud testified to the sama facts. Dempsey , In ills own belialf , stated that on that day he was in the north part of the city planting trees on u lot ho owns. About 3 o'clock ho returned , and opening the sldo door a number of men followed him. Ho also found a crowd of men iu the saloon and told them to get out , as it was Sunday nnd ho did uot sell liquor on that day. The men went out and ho then went outside to tell the oilleor who was standing at the door what hud happened , nnd to tell him also that if he hud been at homo It would not Imvo occurred. Oftlcer Meals was granted a ten days' leave of absence lu which to receive medical treat ment. On motion the application of the Oamowell fire alarm telegraph company to introduce their auxiliary system , subject to such rules md regulations ns may bo adopted by the board and under the control of tbo superin tendent of the lire alarm system and without expense to the city , was granted. There were two bids for the building of a lioso wagon , but ns no specifications had been furnished the bids were returned un opened. In executive session the charges against Dcmpsov were taken under advisement. De tective Ellis was lined two days' pay. The charges against Oftlcer Scott were referred to the committee on men and discipline. Sixjclal Oftlcor Greshum was removed and his star ordered off , while Mike Hanuuii was dismissed from the tire department. The Sober Suuoiul LUUMIK , AVyo. , May 13.

Tbo start was made yesterday nt 3:80 : sharp , Previous to the race County Surveyor House made a new measurement of tlio truck. Following is his oftlclal certificate : To whom It may concern. Tills Is to certify that I have accurately measured the track at tlui Colhumn , Unmliii , Nub. , and that the dls- lance Is 534 feel , measured olKhtecn Inches from the polo. Ton laps ami forty fcrtt make ono mile. J. R , Housi : , County Surveyor. The olllctal time nnd corrected regulator has nlso been placed opposite the reporters' stand by C. S. naymond , who guarantees the correctness nnd reliability of the posted time. At " o'clock Heading and Ids trainer , Jack Kinncman , and Prince nnd his handler , Charlie Ashlnger , made their uppcuranco on the track , and the riders , after n half hour's preliminary work , were ordered to the .scratch by the referee , the sporting editor nf this paper , nnd promptly at the given time , In the presence of four hundred spectators , the pistol cracked and the two contestants started on their long pil grimage , with Prince setting n pace and Heading close upon his heels. Prince was clad in dark blue tights , black shirt and regulation riding shoes , while Head ing wore royal blue tights and u , maroon Jer sey , with shoes to match. The initial pace was n hot one , and the pic ture presented by the two riders was a study indeed. Tbo grim lines ot determina tion were strongly marked In each visage , and it was easy to see that neither would succumb until physi cal ability to sit on a wheel had been ex hausted. Prince main talncd the lead for four miles only , when the soldier shot ahead and stayed there for two straight hours. With no change in the positions the afternoon were tediously away. In the evening fully 1 , ! > 00 people were on hand to watch the indomitable rivals. The barracks baud was on hand nnd lent an addi tional charm to the occasion by n programme of select airs , well worthotho price of admission alone. The riders uro evidently ms- bandtng their strength , and show but litllo inclination to amuse the audience by danger ous exhibition spurts. The race is for blood , and neither dares to run any risk for the mere satisfaction of plaudits from the grand stand. There is .fully $5,000 , at stake , and , realizing this , both riders will use us much generalship as they nro capable of , relying more upon strategic work to gain a vantage than by a superior burst of skill. They are evenly matched , And the race will not be won ' until the last la'p isA'eclod olT. About U o'clock list night Heading sel/ed a momentary vantage uud shot away from Prince in a way that elicited iho wildest and most vociferous applause from the spectators. Ho gained fully "a third of a lap , but seeing how impossible it wAs for him to accomplish more ho modcrat-j his speed to a sixteen- milo clip , and the energetic Englishman was shortly at his heels again. From this on to ttio close the.ridcrs pre served the uniform tenor of their way , but Just before the last quarter of a mile was reached the plucky soldier ngain bent hard over his steel horse , 'his ' sturdy legs pumping like pistons atl hi * eves glistening with the excitement his ambition had engendered. Prince , too , redoubled his exertions , and for three laps their speed was tremendous , the sturdy soldier having slightly thu best of it , as ho crossed the , .chalk line Inlly one .lundred and lifts' " fifet nuead of his adversary. The people stood up , tttiid wuvhnr hats and handkerchiefs ijiudu tUrvast building fairly rock with their ringing cheers. Truly it is a great race.

The outcome of the stnigsle is exceedingly problematical. Prince roali/es that ho has a stupendous tusk on hand and that to win ho must exhaust his every resource of endur ance , speed , ncrvo nnd resolution. Heading is as Immobile as ' H man cut from marble , and the cast-iron look upon bis face means little short of death or victory. Tbo race will be resumed at 2:30 : sharp this afternoon.

Gladstone Says I 'roo Trade Has Lost Ground , but Will Yet Triumph. LONDON , May 12 , Gladstone spoke at the Cobdcn club tonight. Ho said free traders must recognize with great disappointment liow much ground had been lost by their doc trine within the lost twenty-live years. Mili tarism , which lay llko a vampire over Europe , was responsible for much of the mischief , but not for all , because free trade had receded in countries where militarism did not prevail in the United States and in the British colonies. Protection applied now in America not only to goods but to persons , as Instanced by the treatment of the Chinese. The great republic never accepted the doctrines of free trade. At one time there had been qualified progress toward them , but this being cheeked opinion became actually retrogressive. Still the growing strength , activity and clearness of conviction of the free irado American party gave favorable promise of ulti mate triumph at the polls. On looking aver the world the prospects of free trade were certainly not encouraging , This stuto of opinion had emboldened the champions of protection , long lurking in their iioles , to venture out and renew tlio struggle under the name of free trado. Regarding bimetallism. Gladstone said It was u movement in the direction of protec tion. Since the adoption of free trade tbo wages of laboring men had improved CO per cent. England was working out the great social and economic problem for the benefit of the world. Ho was confident that free trade , though temporarily liseredited , was destined to become the uni versal charter ot trade and to obtain general acceptance among civilized nations.

INVITED TO COME TO OMAHA , Steps Taken to Secure the American Modt- cal Association Convention. THE ACCOMMODATIONS ARE AMPLE , * A Movement Whluh Mcetn the llcnrtj Co-Opcration of Pliysluluna In All Parts of tlio Country. The Omaha Medical association met last craning In the co/y committee rooms of the Paxton hotel , with Dr. Mllroy In the chair. After the usual routine business of the asso ciation laid been transacted the question us to whether tlio'American Medical association should bo Invited to Omaha was taken up. The report of the committee appointed to look Into tlio matter of inviting the national association to hold its meeting of 1S01 In Omaha was to thu effect that the Omaha as sociation would take great pleasure In enter taining the association ; that It would bo ol great benefit to the profession and the city at large , nnd that the results of thorough Inves tigation show that Omaha luu hotel aiiO other accommodations to entertain it. Tlio movement has met with the liearty co operation of the medical profession In Omaha , among whom are men who stand high In the councils of the American association. Dr. Rosowntor then read replies from emi nent physicians from all over the union , ex pressing their views with regard to the propriety ot holding the meeting In Omaha. None were opposed to the movement with the exception of ono from Cleveland , Ohio , which stated that thov were heartily in favor of Omaha if they did not decide to work for It themselves. Dozens of qther let ters from medical societies from Minnesota to the gulf were read , all of which spoke eulogistically of Omaha as the place for the next meeting. Some of these letters were very fluttering. Dr , Moore was made n member of the association , and speaking of the matter of having the American association como to Omalia , said that ho had been to their meet ings for u number of years and feared that Omaha was taking an elephant uiion her shoulders. The association numbered about fifteen hundred to two thousand men , who were used to living well , and that tlio hotels could not accommodate them , us the doctors were men who would want to go to good hotels and could not bo quartered at pri vate houses like ministers. "You must , " ho said , "Imvo n hall largo enough to hold them all in convention. If they were divided up and were compelled to find the various halls for holding the meet ings , or session rooms they would become scattered aud lese Interest. There will no doubt be a movement to take the meeting cither to the extreme cast or to the extreme west. San Francisco wants it badly and if they make a decided effort they will no doubt meet with success. The gentleman thought that the movement to get it to Omaha was rather prema ture. There is no place about Omaha at which to entertain the visitors. Men who wore accustomed to go to Long Branch would see very litllo in Manawa. In IS'.M , when the next meeting will bo held , Omaha will have a grand depot , hotels , opera house and exposition building. If Omaha will let It go by for n few years It can bo made a ? rand success , but if it is taken In iin.il ; now it cannot bo done us Omaha should do it. Dr. Gifford agreed with Dr. Moore and felt ; lmt everyone would bo moio or less hard up , and that it would bo well to hold olT. Dr. Giipcu said that Dr. Moore did not ituow Omaha as well as ho did , or at least did not know her resources. The doctor doubts tbo hotel capacity of Omaha St. Paul , when the meeting of the issoeiutioii was hold thorp , and which the lector thought was splendid , did not have nearly the hotel accommodation of Omaha. Or. Gnpen did uot think that It was necessary for all the members to go to the hotels. He { now that many of the members would pre fer to go into lodgings , but that those who wanted accommodations could get them. Tlio meeting of the American association would do the city of Omaha u marvelous amount of good , und the main influence that would In- luce the people of the east to visit Omaha would bo its marvelous growth. Ho hud received u letter from a former health com missioner of Chicago who had said : 'You must have I,0H ( ) ( ) inhabitants > y this time , " a sad commentary on the lustling abilities of Omaha. Wo want them icro to show them our marvelous growth nnd carry the news from the eastern to the west ern coast of America. If wo put ourshoul- lew to the wheel , " ho concluded , "wo can get them here , and wo should have them. " Dr. Moore Iheu said Iho matter was ono of exiwnse , which would bo about ? IO,0 < )0. ) U St. Paul they were given passe.5 by the railroads and went nil over the beautiful lake oimtry and enjoyed themselves. The doctors will not come hero If there Is no recreation of any sort. Dr. Gupon , in reply , said that the roads vho gave passes to the doctors werenew. > nes , who itid It for nn advertisement and hat the expense of the St. Paul meeting was aised among sixty doctors. Twenty-live housuud dollars , the doctor said , would bo ibout tbo cost of getting the national con vention here. The chair then asked If there were any nore suggestions to offer. There being none , iu asked lor u vote on the recommendation of ho cnmmittoo to invite the association to Omaha , which was unanimously adopted. Some Important routine business was trans- icted aud the meeting adjourned. 1'EKfiOX.lf l\l ItAiilt.l I'JIS. W. Gasllu of Alma is at the Casoy. C. W. Doty of Fremont is at tbo Murray. L. P.
