tlio
Just bocntiso yostoiday was the second
Tuesday In March and tlio constitution of
the organization so ordered , the Nebraska
Lumber Dealers association mot yesterday
afternoon In Washington ball for Its third
annual session ,
Owing to the fact that but a small percent
age of the racmbor * were able to swim , the
ranjorltv were uimblo to cross Hnrnoy street
and tbero wai accordingly but a compara
tively small representation when President
Loran Clnrk of Albion called the meeting to
order. Ho soon discovered what the trouble
was and n delegation was sent to the Iourd (
of Trade bulldldg to see it the exchange
rooms could not ho secured. The ambassa
dors mot with great success. and immediately
after tholr return the presiding oftlcor an
nounced an adjournment to the five story
stone and brick building at Sixteenth and
Furnani , and the venturesome amphibians
emulated the example of the iminottal king
of France , who once upon a time retraced
bis stops.
When the president rapped for order a
second tlroo there were baforo him fully two-
thirds of tbc 11. ) members of the association ,
who represent altogether o total of over 2Jfi
yards , and representatives of all the lumber
trade Journals of the west , In the persons of
Plult B. Wnlkor of the Mississippi Volley
Lumberman of Minneapolis , "W. E. Barnes
of tbo St. Louis Lumberman , James Boyd of
the Lumber Trade Journal of Chicago , and
13. II , Dolsbnugh of tbo' Tituberman of
Chicago.
\ \ . G. Hollts. secretory or the Northwest
ern Lumber Dealers association of Minneap
olis , was also In attendance.
Out of tlio Jliifilnrss Now.
Tbo president stated that since the last
meeting ho had retired from the lumber
business and therefore felt somewhat out of
pluco In the presiding officer's chair. Ho
congratulated tbo tnombors on the largo
sttendanco and the Interest manifested. Ho
said ho would always Tool an Interest in the
association , which ho felt sure would bo a
success , and the members might feel assured
of his best wishes. Ho thought the associ
ation would bo banollclnl to the cntlro lumbar
Interests of the stato. Differences would
certainly como up between the mowbcrs , but
through tbo association those would bo ad
justed , and with good ofllccrs the organization
\ras bound to provo u great success.
Ueforu declaring the election of ofllcors In
i'i order the president named the following
( wmmittocs :
Nominations Messrs. linker , Harrison and
Powell.
Auditing Messrs. Diet. ; , Fletcher and
Barrett.
Constitution and by-laws Messrs. VVolls ,
Ford and Holland.
Books of secretary and treasurer Messrs.
Jowett , Hume and LaGrango.
Ilcpurt of HID Secretary ,
In .submitting his statement of the work of
the past year , Secretary Sunderlnnd said :
"I will not take the time of the convention
by making any very lengthy report. I have
to say wo have about the same number of
members wo had last year. Wo have repre
sented over 200 yards and our work has run
smoothly , all differences having boon settled
except a few cases that will come before the
board of directors today for adjustment.
JL'Uo board of directors appointed delegates
to Iho convention of United lumoormou hold
In Chicago last May. Wo were represented
and became mombers. This United Associ
ation of Lumbermen Is composed of every
'
lumber organization in the United States. 'l
would like to call your attention to section 3
of the by-laws.
"Thofo has been some misunderstanding
over the question of selling elovotor bills. I
would llko the convention to Instruct the
secretary to have the word 'elevator' In
serted in section 8 after the word 'business. '
I have always held in settling this question
that elevators were exempt , as It was so un
derstood at our meetings. If this Is put In
our by-laws tbero can bo no question about It
llet-ljiroclty In J'riiptlco.
' There is another very important thine to
which I would like to call your attention
which is likely to bo overlooked by tbo
dealer in the country , and that is reciproc
ity : or In other words , you expect the
jobber to protect you when you don't
rccipiocnto by buying as much lumber
ns you can from our members. I
would urge upon you the justice of
trading with our members , everything
being equal. Don't ask of our members
what you uro not willing to givo. Wo have
had several instances where parties have
written to Omaha for prices. and the Omaha
dealer has returned the Dill together with
the correspondence to the dealer In whoso
territory the bill was and the correspond
ence was , Ignored. It is very hard to ask a
Jocber to protect a dealer who will not try to
help himself.
' "The association was not formed for the
purpose of building a store wall around each
dnalur , but to correct as far as possible the
pernicious habit of sondlnir lists indiscrim
inately to people who uro not dealers. 'Ihls
raurh the association has done and the mem
bers have been well paid for the outlay. I
would ask the members to get as many of
their friends as possible to Join us. This
year will bo a prosperous' for the lumber
men of Nebraska , and wo ought to cot every
dealer In the state to Join ns. "
Treasurer Bradford reported as follows !
Receipts , $1,125 ; balance at beginning of

ColpoUor and Jowalt.
1 President Fried ( Stated that if ho had con

not have accepted the ofllco , but as ho
wished to do all ho could to further the In
terests of the association ho would give the

htr. Colpotzor extended an Invitation to
to the visitors to attend the 6pora In the
evening and later participate at a banquet at
tbo Milliard. Ho stated tbat the Omaha

to "get back at their customers out through
the state. "

HOW IT JjABOKS.
Colonel McKlo Tells Omiilm of the Snlin-
tlon Army' * Work.
Colonel McKio of the Salvation army ar
rived from Kansas City last evening. Ho
certainly has no reason to complain ot his
welcome. The Omaha and Council Bluffs
corps of the army were out , slxty-llvostrong ,
with n band of sixteen pieces , which "re
sponded to the snowballs of tbo small boys
with characteristic music. Nearly everyone
wns in full rogalla , with star bespangled
sashes and half a dozen banners to testify to
tha welcoming sentiments of both cities.
Colonel McKio is not particularly striking
in appearance , but has a sharp eye and an
energetic movement which promises well for
his \vork. After alighting from the train ho
was escorted down through the two lines of
soldiers to a carriage in waiting and driven
to he residence of Dr. Merrill. Ho was ac-
compamed by Staff Captain Plant , the mu
sical prodigy of tbo army , who will make the
tour of the world with himi
Exposition Ball was crowded last night
with Salvation army soldiers and their
friends , who turnud out to welcome Colonel
McKlo and to listen to his talk about tbo
work of the army In other lands.
The celebration was opened with prayer ,
followed by instrumental music and song.
Major Koppol of the Salvation army Intro
duced Colotiel McKlo to the audience. As
the visiting inspector rose ho was greeted
with a "volley , " and bowed his acknowledge
ments. The colonel said :
"Tho Salvation army la becoming such a
hugo concern and Is so rapidly spreading its
arms around tbo country that it is
impossible for General Booth to visit all the
places in the world whore the flag of the Sal
vation army Hoots. Some eighteen months
ago u sot of ofllcors were appointed and styled
traveling commissioners , nnd their duties are
to visit all ttio countries whore our good work
is going on and lend u helping hand where
wo can. Statistics , I know , nro dull , but I
have a few hero which I think will interest
you.
you."Tbo Salvation army has Its flog flying In
thirty-soven countries and preaches salva
tion in thirty-four different languages , and
5,000 buildings are occupied by the array in
dealing out the gospel of Christ. The War
Cry Is printed in twonty-sovon editions and
85,000,000'copios nro sold annually. Besides
this wo have other publications dud 10,000-
000 copies of those are sold every voor. Wo
have flfty-throo homos for fallen woman ,
fifty homes for men out of work and eighteen
factories for the employment of people who
cannot Hud work. ,
"In ourLondon coffee bouses nlonoa,000,000
meals were served last year , nnd our Lon
don labor bureau obtained permanent em
ployment for 4,8W persons In twelve months.
Our Rescue homo [ ins taken in ever 0,000
follon women , ever half of whom loft our
refuge converted.
" When General Booth visited Now Zealand
the govornmontolTeied him n Jorge tract of
land ( or the establishment of a colony , and
today wo have ono of tbo greatest colonies
in tbo world on these Islands. In South
Africa wo lmvpflftv-llve posts , and thov ex
tend way jjp-lnto ululandwhoro _ our work
Is coipgon aniouatho natives. Some load
ing moix of that country hayo placed a largo
tract of land at our disposal , and wo uro
going to christianize as wall as clvillzo the
SJulu ,
"Just outsldo of Capo Town wo have n
largo farm , whore ox-convicts are taken nnd
cared for until they can obtain employment.
"in Australia the Salvation army has DOO
stations and 1 have visited eighty of thorn. *
Our religion is'tho religion of tbo land. Wo
nro respected everywhere. Many of the
magistrates there turu potty prisoners ever
to us Instead offending thorn to Jail. From
Australia 1 oarno to California , and in-San
Francisco I spent' fourteen duys. Of all the
places I have over seen San Francisco is the
toughest. They have 5,000 saloons and only
100 churches , wbllo 25,000 women pet their
living by Immoral menus. In a day or so wo
will open a homo there for the women of the
streets and endeavor to reclaim some of
them.
' Tl > o Salvation army never had n firmer
bold of the United States than It has now ,
nnd wo uro gaining ground dolly. If wo only
had men and. women enough who are capable
of leading the people wo could double tbo
number of our places of worship. "
Colonel McKlo's talk was loudly applauded
and Major Koppol called on tbo throng to
llro a volley , which they 'did. Inspector
McKlo will conduct services at the First
Methodist Episcopal ehurch this afternoon
and evening.

TROUBLE ABOUT SCHOOL BUILDINGS

The Board of Education mot Monday nnd
continued to wrestle with business tpatters
of u mlscallnnoous nntura for four hours.
Superintendent Fltzpntrlck reported that the
night schools at the Long building had boon
closed on account ol the tailing oft In attend
ance. Superintendent Hamilton submitted a
report recommending sldowalks at the now
Kollom school. Adopted , lie rocominsndod
repairs on blackboards nt the Bancroft
school. The principal nt that school reported
that tbo blackboards hud bocoino glossy nnd
v/ero injuring the eyes of the children.
Morris Morrison said that these boards
hod boon up only iibout thrco yours and they
needed repairing. Ho thought the board
should cease buying liquid slating nnd put
up real slate block boards. It wns rofarrod
to tbo committee on buildings and property ,
to bo reported ut tbo next meeting.
Attorney McCoy submitted uu opinion
upon tha subject of purchasing flags for tbo
public schools. Ho said ho could Und no law
that would authorize the board to expend
monny for lings , neither had bo found
anything in the constitution or the statutes
withholding such power. Ho thought that
inasmuch us the board bad'authority to fur
nish books and other accessories and facili
ties for teaching history and civil govern
ment , that the furnishing of United States
flags might bo included for that especial pur
pose.
pose.Mr. . McCoy reported that the appraisers
who had boon appointed to appraise the dam
age to the school boara property nt Mason
school , on south Twenty-fourth , by reason ot
a change In the grade , had reported In favor
of allowing no damage ut all. The attorney
was Instructed to takonn appeal and demand
damages.
Flags Tor thn School lIultdmgR.
A petition signed by something llko 503
citizens asking the board to purchase United
States flairs for nil the school buildings was
read. The treasurer's report for the past
month showed tbo following funds In the
treasury : General fund , $185,031.30 ; sinking
fund , ! ,411.30.
A communication from Bell & 13crllnglioff
was road nnd it wont on Illo In ihortordor. _
Tbo gentlemen called attention to a number
of dofccts in the new Kcllom school and
asked the board to investigate the matter.
The Items mentioned were iho main entrance
arch , the door locks and the bracing under
tbo roof.
"I move you , Mr. President , that
the communication Just read bo placed on
tlio , " said Mr. Martin vigorously. "As a
member of tbo committee on buildings and
property I am opposed to the wasting of any
more time in listening to the absurd driwl o"f
this man Berllnghoft or that other crank D.
I. Haydnn. " The communication wont to
Its long homo.
Miss Clara Schonk resigned for tbo year on
account of ill health. .E. Werner applied for
the position of Janitor of the Kollom school.
Thomas Grocox informed the board that
the price of lots 1 , 2 ana 3 , block SI , Omaha ,
corner of Twenty-second and Davenport , had
boon reduced from $35'JOO to ? 33,000. Hugh
Murphy offered lots 5 und 0 in block 1G In the
original city and an additional strip ol ten
feet along tbo side of thcso lots for the sum
of $21,000 as a site for the central school.
Fred J. Borthwlck offered lots 9 and 10 ,
block 12 , Heed's Hrst addition , for § M,000.
These lots ore at Dodge and Twontv-uinth
avenue and have a frontage of 132 foct on
Dodge street and 141 on the avonuo. j
' Oomamleil tin Investigation. j
And then the secretary began to ' toad a ;
lengthy communication from some ohj- de
manding an investigation of the Kollom
school. Mr. Martin sprang to his feet and i
moved that the communication be placed on
the table.
"Read it , road it , " said Mr. Gibson.
"Well , road it , then. If anybodv wants to
hear the stuff , " replied Mr. Martin. Secre
tary Conoyor continued the reading. ItVas
from D. I. Hayden , claiming that ho could
show great defects in the Kellom school
building if an unprejudiced committee would
investigate with him. Ho demanded a com
mittee for this investigation composed of
carpenters and especially Urged the board
not to believe any report that Mr. Martin
and Mr. Coryoll 'might bring'in. 'Tbo com
munication was placed on lilo. , .
Mr. Martin took too floor nnd road a
report upon tbo recent investigation at the
Kollom school. Ho roasted D. I. Hayden
until the iiir scorned to bo smoky. Ho said
the committee found a good floor in the build
ing , and all the defective work'loundvas
done by Mr. Hayden according to his own
confession. Mr. Martlu bald it.was a shame
for the board to permit an individual to har-
rass Mr. Mcngodoht with u batch of absurd
ities. Ho bclioved Mr. Mcngodoht bad done
his host to put up a good building and ho had
succeeded in eroding ono ot the
brat scbool buildings iu Omaha.
Mr. Martin referred to the facr. that a
scheme had boon concocted 'by Architect
Borlinghod to have the building ruined in
order to throw the blame on Hamilton. Ho
referred to the article in last night's BEE and
said tbat the facts contained In that article
bad also been told to him by Mr. Mongodoht.
It was through tbo honesty , of Mr.
Mengodoht and tno watchfulness of Superin
tendent Hamilton that tlio board had secured
tbo erection of a good building.
Sir. 1'onplotoii'H VldMH.
Mr. Ponploton said ho had visited the
Kclloin scbool building and bad found it first
class and up to tbo specifications iu every
respect , except In the item of paper undorthc
floors. Ho thought the now building a very
substantial and well built school houso.
Mr. Morrison said ho had gone personally
and alone to. the Kellom school and had
looked It ever carefully. Ho thought It a
splendid building , much better in must re
spects than other school buildings in the
city.
city.Tbo ropoit submitted by tbo committee on
buildings and property with reference to tbo
Kollom bchool was unanimously adopted.
A long discussion arosa ever the election
of an additional teacher for the training
school. The commlttoa recommended the
election of MUs Emma Llttlefiold. The
report was adopted.
Bills for currant expenses , Including.sal-
urios for the past month , amounting to
I U,70a.7l ) , were allowed. A bill for S150 In
favor of Ackcrmaa Bros. & Hointzo for
printing 110,000 ballots last full was allowed.
This bill had boon under dispute for some
tlmo' .
Mr. Coryoll offered a resolution favoring
the appointment of a commlttoa to visit sev
eral largo cities to investigate tbo different
plans for school buildings for tbo purpoio of
gaining practical ideas upon school house
building. Thu resolution also provided that
the board's arohltoct bo requested to
accompany the committee. Tha resolu
tion was adopted.
Mr. Coryall also offered u resolution
calling upon the superintendent to
submit to tbo board the probable
cost of erecting Hug poles at all sphqolliutld-
Ings. IvUora no flag poles had boon provided.
Jlr. * Powell nfforml a substitute calling for
tho'oroction of flag staffs at'all the buildings
not already provided , said poles to bo not
loss than llfty or moro than eighty foot in
hoigntn , and to purchase Hags not loss than
bxUi foot in slzo.
Sloro About Those I'luga
Mr. Coryoll thought there was no use to
rush Into the flog business without-knowing
something aboutj.hu cost of the undertaking.
, Mr. Gibson wanted thp flags * vo wave and
bo wanted thorn right away. lie thought
some member's of the board were not very
patriotic , alnco tboy bung baclr jn tha
traces when it came to buying flags.
Mr. Babcock thought It would bo
wise , to put tbo flag poles on top of the ' school
buildings-rather than to oroot toll polo's upon
tbo school grounds , The latter would in
tlmo blow down and probably kill some of
tbo children. Patriotism , ho thought , could
be taught the rising generation by floating
ha flags from tbo top of tbo buildings Just as
well as from the top of an eighty-foot polo.
The altitude of tbo flag , bo believed , was nqt a
correct moiisuroof patriotism. Mr.Murlln sold
he waa In favor of flaps because tbo popular
sentiment of thp day snotned to call for them ,
Uo Irucl uovor lived under oiy ; other Hag
than that oCj.Uq stars and strlpas and ho
lined It. A ccrtnln paper haJ called him tin-
American nnjl nqn-pfUriotlu because ho had
not rushed hcambng Into the lift ? purchasing
business wltVirat knowing what the cost
would bo , Honild not think Hh patriotism
bud been injured in tno least by considering
tbo purcbasaht ( those Hags Just as ho did
other expenditures of the public funds ,
Mr. rownUj nroso nnd sau ho did notsco
why this fla , dUciMslon should bo made n
matter of buhcAnibo.
" \Vho bus nVndo It a matter of buncombot"
asked Mr. Mftrflft shnrplv.
" 1 don'tknmvthntany ono has.- ' replied
Powell , nnd nlto ? some sharp words on both
* ldos Mr. Powpllj | wont on to explain his posi
tion. Ho fawrdri the purchase of flags.
Mr. Babcock did not bollovo In spending
public school fuuVis In tno purchase of flags ,
Ho believed iliffb was no law authorizing
such nn expenditure.
The matter WAS raferrod to the commlttco
on butldlncs and property with Instructions
to report nt tno next mooting.
Sprung u Norul KcKoliitlon.
Mr. Eltruttor nprunc a novel resolution.
Ho wanted the board to Invoke the assist
ance of tlio police authorities In
apprehending truants frqm school. Ha proposed -
posed to have truant children found on tbo
strcots In school hours arrested by the police
unless they could give n valid excuse for
being out of school.
Mr. Mom-ion , Mr. Babcock and others
thought that schema was altogether out of
the question. They thought tbtit It would
create a fearful hubbub to have hundreds of
children arrested and halt scared to death l > y
ofllcors. Some ether plan for correct
ing the bnd haoltof playing "hooku.v" should
borndoptod. The resolution was referred to
the judiciary committee.
On resolution of Mr. Jnynos the board de
cided to mirchnso 10J of the books entitled ,
"Tnlos From Shakespeare. "
Upon resolution Introduced by Mr. Martin
the principals nnd janitors of all the schools
were Instiuutcdto unfurl the American flag
at their rospoctlvo bulldlngi on February lli ,
Lincoln's blrthdnv : 'February UJ , Washing
ton's birthday ; March 1 , tbo anniversary
of Nebraska's admission to the union ;
Memorial day , Arbor day , Fourth ot .Inly ,
and nil other legal holidays , cither national
or state. The resolution was naoplod.

LosnoN , March 7. In an Interview with
an Associated Press representative ftir.
Foster saiu that It was Impossible to disclose -
close the nature of his conversations with
Mr. Goschon. Perhaps they referred to n
currency conforenco. but the matter had not
boon discussed at any length.
The correspondent having referred to the
conlldonco felt In America that such a conference
forence will bo arranged , Mr. Foster said
he hoped that the confidence was not mis
placed and that if a satisfactory basis would
bo obtained ho would not hositnto to conler.
"I have been surprised , " continued Mr.
Foster , "to find so much interest taken ill
bimetallism in England and tbo extant to
which puolic opinion is getting in favor of a
double standard. Since corning hero I have
been constantly approached to express mvsclf
on tbo subject. My business , however , was
in tbo llrst nlnco to recruit my health , not to
see Mi' . Gosehan nor to arrange conferences.
If there is one man In Europe I should like to
sec , it is Prince Bismarck. I have no time
for that , however.1' '
Recurring to the currency question the
correspondent referred to Senator Toller's
resolution in the ser.ato and asked wnut
would happen it the rciolutlon was carried.
Mr. Foster-Then it will be the president's
duty to call a conference.
"And would the invitation bo accepted ? "
Mr. Foster Well , I can't say yet , there is
a reasonable assurance that the call would
bo responded to. Moro than this Mr. Foster
declined to say , although ho declared himself
much bettor. Foster had n slight hoarseness ,
having caught n fresh cold.

LoNn > os , March 8 , The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Standard recounts a
startling story In connection with the sur
prising speech made by the emperor of Ger
many at the recent banquet at Brandenburg ,
which caused BO much adverse criticism , not
only in Germany , where certain editions of
several newspapers containing unfavorable
comments were seized on the charge of lose
majesto , but throueh the whole of Europe.
Tbo Standard's correspondent , in his des
patch to the paper , says that a gentleman
who was present at the Br.uidonburj ; oan-
ouot wboro Emperor William made his
merooraolo speech , remarked to too emperor :
"Your majesty should not forgot Uussia. "
To this remark Emperor William is suid to
have retorted : "I will pulverize Russia. "
The correspondent adds tbat when General
Count von Schuvaloff , the Russian min
ister at Berlin , was apprised of his
romaruablo utterance , and upon investi
gation found that what ho had beard
was true , ho Immediately acquainted Do
Giors , the Russian minister of foreign afTairs
with the facts in tbo case , who repeated the
remarKs of Emperor William to the czur.
The czar then summoned to his presence
General von Schv.'uiniU , the German am
bassador at St. Petersburg , and after re
counting to him the statement made by M.
Do ( iloM , said : "Tell your oraporor tbat
when ho wants to begin pulverl/lng I will
