It woi suggested thnt contractors should bo looked after , nnd a case was mentioned In which a builder represented to the owner that if allowed to use material from outside tha state he could bid lower on a certain building.

The report was received witliRonoral satis faction , the feeling being that if the archi tects would cany out whatthoy had promised n great many thousand dollar ? would bo placed in circulation In the state from the ouildlng operations of the coming summer. A resolution wan adopted thanking the architects for their pledge to co-oporato with the association In nn onacavor to stimulate homo industries. The question of Incorporating the associa tion was brought up and discussed at length in all Its bearings nnd It was unanimously decided in the ntllrmutivo. T.ilhi'il About an Imposition. President Page reported that the mannperi of thoOmiiha Coliseum would rent their bullalng to the association for the purpose of holding' n manufacturers' exposition and would furnish light , power and Janitor service , the consideration being one-fourth of the amount received from the sale of tickets. The president then asked : "Shall wo have a Nebraska manufacturers exposi tion I" The secretary read a number of loiters from manufacturers situated outsldo of Omaha , in which the project was strongly commended. With onlv ono or two excep tions , the writers promised to make nn ex hibit of their goods and do everything in their power to make n success of tno move ment. Air. Davis of Davis & Cowglll , iron works , Bnul that in the expositions hotU In tbo past few had taken part , nnd that thov had not been much of a success , and that ho would not want to take part in another unless all tlio manufacturers would do so. He believed that , the attendance would bo large , as the association wus popular with the public. Air. Troitlrr said that the expositions hold In Omaha In the past had hud the backing of only ono or two men , who went into It ns a monov making scheme. A manufacturers' exposition would have the backing of the Whole association of 1(13 ( members. As for the clear manufacturers , bo was confident that at least two-thirds ot tham would mnko on exhibit. Tlio question as to the time ot holdlngsucb nn exposition hero entered into the discus sion. It was suggested June would bo u good moi.lh , when the competitive drill was being held in the city , which would draw great crowds. At the snmo tlmo the Nebraska Stale Business Alcn's association will hold Its annual meeting in the city , which is ex pected to bring in over 200 of iho retail dealers ot the state. There was some doubt ns to whether people could bo Induced to at tend nn exposition at that season , when the weather is apt to bo very warm. VVhen to Hold It. Air. Hodnin remarked that the city of Omaha would bo overrun with people on the occasion of the drill and that the Coliseum would not be largo enough to bold tbo crowds that would bo attracted by a good exhibit of Nebraska made goods. Mr. Tibbs of AI. E. Smith & Co. remarked lliut ho was ready to work day and night foV the success of such nn exposition and that ho believed it would advertise Nebraska made goods moro than any other ono thing that coula bo doro. Air. Farrcll said that when the project wai first mentioned to him a week or two ago ho wnsnot in fnvorot It , but slncu thin icing it over carefully ho had grown very enthusiastic. It will give us a splendid opportunity to place tnir goods before the people. If held in Juno , he thought there would bo no trouble about the attcdanco , as the crowds that come to * ca the drill would not go homo without tak ing In the exposition , Air Chadwlck of the Omaha Milling com- panv , said that it would bo in the nature of an educational movement , livery day people nro asking ns to what goods are inndo In Ne braska and such an exposition would answer their questions. If the manufacturers of the ttate will hcaitlly co-operate ns they no doubt will , it will bo as lovelation to the people. Air. Robinson until that ho was greatly in favor of the move , and did not doubt but what the attendance would bo largo and that the sale of tickets would pay nil expenses and more. It would bo necesiary , however , to jflvo a good exhibit. A few manufactured goods piled up on shelves would not draw n crowd , as that rould be seen In any store , but the manufacturers should make n llvo ex hibit. They should put In machines whore possible , and have people operating them , nnd turn out goods on the spot. Ho men tioned iho great success of the corn palace , whk'h had become a special feature of Sioux City , nnd ho did not see why ho association could not make a feature of a manufacturers ussocintion in the snmo way , Air. Cole of the Consolidated CofToo com pany said lie was in favor of nn exposition nnd would expect not only to place the com pany's goods on lixhlblt , but would buy a good many tickets for friends and cus- tomois. Mr. Kdgorton , flour manufacturer of Hast ings , wns nsuud for Ins opinion , nnd re sponded that lie was heartltv In favor of the movement nnd would only bo too glad of such tn opportunity to plnco his gooda before the people. Dculdt-il In Iltuo U In , liine , Several other manufacturers iipoko In sim ilar vein , promising not only to help the movement , but to make an exhibit of their The president unted thn members to fullv roaliio that such an undertaking meant n great deal of hard work , nud that It should not bo undertaken unless tbo members wore nil willing to bear their share aud that they jnlpht far better have no exposition at all than have a poor ono. A vote was then taken and It was decided without a dissenting voice to request the board of directors to take action looking toward tbo holding of a manufacturer : , ' expo sition in Juno. The meeting adjourned , but it was some tlmo before the crowd dispersed , members lingering to discuss iho dotaiU of ttio pro posed exposition. A mooting of the board of directors will beheld hold soon and they will probably instruct the executive committed to commence work at once. once.U Is proposed to omplo.y some man who ba4 hud t'lporlouco m such enterprises to give his whole time to working up the schema. _ Murk Ttvnln snys "somo folks nro so stubborn that Ml they need Is four logs nnd they would pass fornmulo.

" When the curtain wont up nt Germnnla hall l&ntovonlnir it disclosed the stage fur nish oil with nit the rich elaborateness of a modern parlor , even to gny drnpes nnd big sofa cushions. Thioooladles nnd two gentle men wsll known in Omnha's social circles used thli carlor In the presentation of "A Box ol ftionkuvs , " n cleverly constructed farce In two nets. An lingllsh swell wns quoted as saying that American girls wore more "fun than n box ot monkeys. " nnd ni n live American girl IB the chief character In the farcj that explains the otherwise unnu- countable title. The American girl , Sierra Bongallno , is n western product , nnd the role calls for the portraying of n young woman who assaults the English language and shocks the conven tionalities with blissful unconsciousness of the hcltioiuncss of her numerous crl.nos. The character was assumed by Airs. Matho- son , nnd sha played the dlfllcult part with tine spirit and engaging vivacity. She was called on to romp , to revel In slang , to sit on a table nnd to frncturo the proprieties in numerous other wnvs in order to picture the typical American girl as Mn , Jonn Bull un derstand ! the typo. Airs. AInthoson filled her characterization with un aptitude of detail - tail and action , nnd when she daintily danced n bit ot a Jig the audience became quito rapturous In Its onthusUom. Airs. Peck carried the role of Mrs. Ondogn Jhones , who represented n typo of American tuft hunters. Airs. Pock affcctCrl tbo man ners of a crniulc dame with easy composure , and the hauteur with which she handled her loritnotto was very effective. AIlss Bishop took the diameter of Lady Gulniivora Llaudpnoro , an English girl who imitates Sierra in order to acquire the "fasci nation of American girls , " of which her brother had raved , The role doesn't carry as much dialogue as some ot the others , but AI133 Bishop acted the character with grace aud self-possession. Her expression of min gled doubt and satisfaction when practicing slang was a notably artistic bit of work. In a duet with Sierra she sang very sweetly , nnd the two tripped n few minuet stops with graceful movement , winning a very hearty oncoro. Imagine , if you can , air. Henry Estabrook , the brilliant young attorney , whoso argu ment haforo the United States supreme court recently was the talk of the country , playing the role of a British lordling with mutton chop whiskers and hair parted in the middle I Aloro than that , ho portrayed an nwicwardly bashful lover with u John Bull kink In his tongue , nnd ho did it exceedingly well. too. Air. Anderson had the role of Sierra's lover , but circumstances made him assume a number of other characters. Airs. Jhones mistook him for a butler , and ho carried out the deception to bo near his sweetheart. Ho acted ns instructor to the youne Englishman In the art of love making , aud in burlesquing n melodrama assumed two or Unco conventional stage characters. The role called for considerable volatility , and Air. Anderson exhibited much cleverness and adaptability. The entertainment was tar above the aver age effort hero In amateur theatricals nnd thorougb.lv ploascd a largo and fashionable audience. It netted a handsome sum for tbo benefit of the creche. Sulmruunldt Itrcltul. When Herr Xavor Seharwenka appeared yesterday afternoon nt the Boyd theater ho was gteeted by a largo and musical audi ence. Pianists of high renown have played here , pianists who have , perhaps , possessed moro soul and poesy , and who have been dis tinguished bv remarkable technical skill ; b Jt while Ilerr Scharwenlca has made an en viable reputation as a pianist , yet ho is bet tor known to tbo musical world by bis com positions. Ho did not come a stranger. His musical works are undoubtedly master- nieces , and had ho never written anything out his "Polish Dances" they would have been sufllcient to gain for him a lasting rep illation. The enthusiastic outburst of ap plause from the audience yesterday testified to their ponularltv. His interpretations of Chopin's "Funtasio and ' 'Vnlse" ( op.19 and 4" ) were very true , and his rendition of Schubert's impromptu and march was artis tic. In Schumann's "Nachtstuck" ho was very sympathetic , nnd the delicacy of his touch was well displayed. He delighted the audience when ho appeared as the Interpreter of his own works , which were admirably chosen show the vor- sabllity of his musical brain , the "Legend" ( op. 5 No. n "Nouvollotte" ( op. SJ2) ) and "Vnlso Caprice" ( op. 3) ) . Ho proved himself n faithful follower of Liszt in this great mas ter's "Kicordanza , " nnd in his nrranponipnt of Rossini's overture to "William Toll" the orchestral effects produced wore unusually lino. lino.Tho The gem of the concert was Boothovcn's beautiful sonata in F. minor ( op. 57) ) to which ho did full justice. No ono ever gets tlrod of bearing Beethoven's beautiful sonatas and seldom has an Omnha audience had the facility to hear ono of them more sKillfully played. Alessrs. Jones nnd Cummincs of the Con servatory of Alusic tendered him n delightful reception in the evening from 9 till li ! o'clock , when most of the loading musicians in the city wore present. Mile. OIirxtroiii'H Concert. Mile. Augusta Ohrstrom , n now Swedish prlmn donna , appeared with u company ot singers at Washington hall last nicht. Tbo attendance at the concert was good. Alllo. Ohrstrom is a beautiful young woman and a good musician , but she has not the silvery , dramatic voice that a soprano prima donna is supposed to possess , or that she is said to have. However , she sang her selections with grace and skill nnd pleased the audience , as she has a sweet , clear voice. Miss Allco Watson , accompanist , played several piano solos with precision , llnlsh and skill. skill.The The foatuio of the concert , aside from Alllo. Ohistrom's singing , was the solo by J. U. Bnlfo , thn bussojcontrnto. Ho possesses n magnificent basso vloco of great rango. Ho shared the honors with Alllo. Ohrstrom. Ho "Thy Sentinel Am I-1 and sang , was raptur ously appluudod for Ilia excellent work. Jam04 C. Abdill , n young tenor who was with Emma Abbott a few seasons ago , was quito a valuable acquisition to the combina tion. Ho has n clear , distinct voice and was heartily applauded on bis singing. The remainder ot the entertainment was made up by solos , duets and trios by Mllo. Ohrstrom , Balfo nnd Abdill. In its entirety the concert wns very satis factory and many luftthu hall Impressed with the Idea that Alllo. Ohrstrom would tuko tbo plnco , na a prlina donna , of tbo late Christine Nielsoa.

JOBBERS WILL RETALIATE Railroads Must Oomo to Time or Tight Omaha's ' Big Merchants , DISCRIMINATIONS ON IOWA BUSINESS I'lnii of tlio Oitmttn Iliinlncss Men Mvclj How Oter this .Sugar Trulllc Union 1'aclllo I'roinotlniift Notes nnil l'rr For nearly n year pist the Jobber * of Omaha have boon seeking rollof from the fi- cent discrimination of the rnilroidi on Iowa business. A Board ot Trade commlttoo has had numerous conferences with the gontlo- mont wearing many-Jointed titles nnd has written letters galore. The only satisfaction it has obtained Is nn oft r pealed assurance thnt "tho matter will oo taken up. " The Jobber * have exhausted tholr stock of pntlonco. They have inaug urated n light In earnest nnd propose to push It to n finish. A commlttoo repre senting the manufacturlne nnd wholesaling interests of Omaha has had two conferonoas wltu General Alannper Clark of the Union Pacific during the past five days. Air. Clark as sured his callers of tils sympathy and his do- slro to help them , but ho has done nothing. 'Iho Om.'ilm Commercial association has taken up the cause and proposes n war of re taliation. Ono more conferoncn will bo hold with the railroad managers , and if relief Is not than promised , the plan is to begin nn open light. The sehoraols to form u combi nation with ono of the Iowa lines and give It all Iho trafllo Into Omaha from Chicago and the east on condition that it make rates into Iowa from this point that will wipe out the 5-cont discrimination In favor ot Council BlulTs. The trafllc controlled by tlio Omaha Com mercial association Is enormous In volume and Iho concession nskad by the Jobber ) would bo a comparatively small one for the favored rallroaJ. About two yoaw ago the association took a sliullir course to maiio through rates to eastern Nebraska points etiuil to the sum of the two locals. This was done to cor rect n discrimination which favored through shipments from Chicago. A reciprocity agreement was made with the Milwaukee , conditioned on the other lines maintaining their stand bjyond a llxoJ date , but the cor porations promptly 'grnntod the Justice de manded nnd nn open light was averted. The Commercial association Is preparing to put the sauio tactics Into force , if the final con ference with the railroad magnates does not produce a guarantee of relief , aud Us olllccrs say they mean business. Triiulilo Oxer tinSu nr It.itr. There is trouble among the transcontinen tal lines over a proposition to raise the siigur rate from California to tbo Altssouri river. Since the Kansas commissioners made a rul ing on the rate to interior points some of the Interested lines have laid plans for raising the through rate from the coast. The result is a merry controversy. The present tariff to the li vei ls ti't cents , which was maao in order to meet sugar coining from the cast and the south. It is now proposed to raise the rate to $1. The apparent effort of this move would be to shut California sugar retii.ors out of the Missouri valley , with n consequent loss of east bound traHlc for the transcontinental railioids. This would bo olTsct to most of the lines by a corresponding trnfllc from eastern and southern refiners , but iho Southein Pacific and the Union Pacific are not as happily fixed ir that respect. This fact has lea to n lively correspondonca between - twoon the trafllc managers of these two roads that would furnish engaging amuse ment If mido public. These gentlemen entered into n compact to maintain iho sugar rate , but Air. Mellon ot the Union Pacific has Joined the forces of those who want the rate raised. Air. Stubbs of the Southern Pacific is righteously indie- nant at the secession of his allv and used some picturesque language to express his feelings. For example , ho says in a recent communication to Air. Alellon : "Your action is not u simple withdrawal from business considered unprofitable * * * for have the record of wo nany years par ticipation in the business , oven at lower raies , and testimony of your own people be fore judicial bodies to the effect that it was profitable. " Air. Stubbs accuses Air. Alollon of entering a combination against the Southern Pacific to destroy tlio sugar tralllc from tro coast. Ho charges the Union Pacific with taking this stop without so much ns n hint of its Intention to the Southern Pacific. Air. Stubbs then gels in a clincher on Mr. Alellon in the following language : "You have hidden it [ the intention ] justas the o HI i nary conspirator hides his purpose from the friend ho nropoacs to destroy. " Of course this is sub rosa , but it gives an interesting glimpse behind Iho scenes. The proposed advance is equivalent to an increase of over one-third of a cent per pound. Some of the railroad managers nflcct the ballot that if it is out into effect the sutrar trust will pro tect the California refiners by excluding competitors from Iho territory west of the Altssouri river. That would result In an ad vance on sugars to wholesale and retail deal ers in that territory. Tbo railroads inter ested in this scheme will try to force it through at a freight association meeting to beheld held in Chicago this week. Union Pacific Promcitlcmi.

President Uoorgo .1. Sternsdorff of the Metropolitan comnnny said yesteidnv thnt his company had boon ilgurlng on buying nut the Ohio people for several weeks. The Hist conference was hold shortly after the bids for street lighting were oponcd nnd referred to the council commlttoo , A'tnat tlmo the Ohio peonlo acknowledged that they were knocked out and that , rather than mill Up thnlr lamps nnd move , to some other city they would sell nt a low llguro , The matter WHS laid bofuro the stockholtlors of the Metropolitan company ana it was de cided to buy. In bp3iikliiiraf the action of the council Inst nlqht , i'resldcnt Sturnsdorft said that the council had acted hastily and possibly for the purpose of working n great hardship upon his company. The gnsolino contract was not signed by tha mayor until last week. Prior to that time the Mottopolitan com- panv did not know to a certainty that It woula sucuro the contract for lighting the suburbs , consequently It Ulu not foci Justified In ordering material nnd netting rendv to sot Its lamps. It bail uhvnys been the custom ot the council to civo a new company Just com ing into the cltv at least thirty days'timo In which to complete its plant and nut it in operation. In many cases such corporations hail been given sixty nnd even ninety days nftor the awarding of the contract !
