What was practically the first regular meeting of the Omaha Retailers' aH-oclnllon vns held la t night In the parlors of the Commercial club. The organization was fully completed , the work of former Informal inciting ! ! being brought lo a focus , nml the ns'oclatlon v\ai formally launched. "Omaha Klrst , Tbe Retailers Second , " Is to bo the motto whllo tliu watchword will bo "Homo Industry. " The rooms of llio Co.nmcrclal club vvero more than crowded. Many were brought to the nu'eilng as prospective mcmbem and bsfore they left their names wore Inscribed upon the roll of the anjoclatlon. The attend ance Mas about 250 and comprised almost over } blanch of Irado In the city , the black- imllh' ) being Iticlmlo.l In the number. The chief object of tlio meeting was the consideration of a constitution and by-hws which were reported by n committee. The. document Was a lengthy one , but Its article ? and section1) were prepared with a care which showed that the compilers Intended It to exist for a considerable length of time Aflsr Its Introduction n long dlrcusslon en- Riled legardlng llo contents , but It was mlople.l almost an reported. The name of the organization was "taled to bo the Omaha Retailer.1) ' club , but on a motion by Thomas Kllpatrlck this was changed to the Omaha Uetallera' association. The object U fourfold. Firstly , It Is In tended that the association shall foster all well-directed home Industries. Secondly , It will ftrlvc to Increase acquaintanceship among tetallcrs and " 111 uphold Integrity In their dealings. Thirdly , It Is Intended to promote concentrated action among biislnfs men In flghtlm ? excessive freight , express and other rates , to frown down short weights and other dishonest practices , to favor short hour * and the observance of holidays b > closed stores , to unitedly resent all unjust discriminations and to take united action upon all mattera that Interest retailers. Finally , It will attempt to lay some of the burdens at present berne by retailers upon the shoulders of peddlers. Besides the officers , president , vleo presi dent , secretary , treasurer and an executive committee , consisting of a chairman from each of the lines of trade represented , pro vision Is made for four committee ! ) . One Is the rallrorfd committee , which has already been appointed. Tills will fight for the re duction of excessive rates ; will favor rjpld freight transportation and will take care of other railroad matters that Interest the retailers. Another committee la on man ufacture * . Ita duties will consist of locat ing new enterprises In this city ; In encourag ing those which are already here and in taking care of matters In connection there with. The third committee Is a trades com mittee , and will care for all the Interests of the members of the association. The fourth commltttee li on entertainment. This will look after \lsltors brought to the city by the association and delegates to any meeting bodies. Among Us duties Is the selection of a subject of debate and discussion for each meeting of the association. The three last committees have not been chosen. The annual meeting of the association It to occur on the second Wednesday of eacli January , and at this the officers will bo selected. The regular meetings will fall on thp second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. The membership shall consist of all re tailers who ujll remain In the-'club as long as they pay their dues and on con dition that they do nothing discreditable ; the punishment for the latter being cx'ml- elcn. Members may be suspended IT t.ioy are four months behind in their dues. New members will be admitted upon a wiitten application , which is recommended by two members. Due arc fixed aU liO cents a months , pay- nblu every two months In advance. This was the only section of the constitution which provoked any prolonged discussion. I' . Wllg , who acted as the representative of the fmaller and outside dealers , urged that the dues for dealers outside certain llmlti be reduced to 23 cents or nothing , on the giound that they would rccehe no direct benefit from the association. It was stated , however , that the dues were purposely fixed at. jjie ] ow figure of 50 cents to accommodate the outside dealers. It was suggested too , that whllo no direct benefit would accure to them by the bringing of visitors to the city , they would bo indirectly benefited , as the primary object of the association was to encourage enterprises In the city , and there fore to Increase the number of customers. This view prevailed. The constitution and by-laws weic adopted unanimous'1. ' On the enll of reports of committees a tiuin- l > pr o * chairmen In the various lines nf trade , who hod been appointed at the last meeting , announced ( he full membership of their committees. . 1'iosldcnt llope of thn association also reported as n member oi the rnllroad committee. He stated that his vumiiKiiee nan inKen nom or tno depot pio- Ject nml was getting ready to j > how the lall- roads that the ictallers were unanimously In favor of the election of the building. It was proposed that the question that au agreement should be made with the jobbers that no coeds should bo sold by them di rectly lo consumers , not c\en to their em ployes , bo debated , but tl.o < iueltlon ! was put over In the next meeting on account of the lateness o' the hour.

( Special. ) The approach of spring has again brought to i lie front the question of Issuing seed grain to farmers Although this practice has not always been successful In a few of the counties , a number of counties have no rea son to complain and will again furnish seed wheat to farmers who want It. Among the counties which have already decided favor ably on this question is Sanborn , but the seed will furnished on a different plan than formerly. Applications must bo endorsed by the chairman and clerk of the board of the township In which the applicant lives. The applications will be filed with the county auditor and on March 4 the county board will meet and pass upon them. Only wheat will be furnished and not to exceed $25 worth to any one applicant. No one who can pro- cute seed will bo furnished. After the appli cations me accepted and the notes and mort gages given the county will give the appli cant an aider for the amount , pa.v.ible to whoever furnishes the and. This will permit each one to purchase the seed where ho can do the best , and the county need buy no grain. This appeals lo be a good plan and may meet with favor In other South Dakota counties. Trouhle Oier n Home. CHAMBERLAIN , S. D. , Feb. 20. ( Special. ) A local drayman named Benolr some time ago sold a horse to a farmer and ranchman llvlrg on White river , the rancher agreeing to pay for It at a certain time. He did not keep lila word , and while In lown last Satur day with the horse , Benolr took possession of It and placed It In his stable. I.itle In tlio evening the i anchor and an accomplice , by a clever ruse , secured the horse , and left for White river. The following day Constable I ) . W. Overacker , Benolr and Charles Poller went lo the home of the ranchman to rcapture the nnlnul. They Knocked on the door of the ranchman's dwelling , and when It was finally opened were somewhat astonished at beholding the muzzles of a six-shooter and a shotgun In proximity of ihelr heads , the ranchman and i'U comrade being behind the huge piece of artillery. Upon being Invited to vacate the piemlses , the constable nnd hln posse , wllh- out mulure dellberallon , decided to politely accede to the request. When only a short distance away they claim that one of the men fired ut them , the charge striking and entering the face of a bluff only three feet from the constable's head , Later they found the horse In possession of a Da no named Rocendale , whom they arrested , and he Is now an occup'int of the jail In this cily , The ranchman , and Ids. accomplice will bo be ai rested for shooting at thu constable's party. _ \\ll.l ) HUSH POIt MI\iil.VK CI.AMI.S.

" The performance from flrot to lasl , how evtr , was well received , and ccrlaln failures' ' were very good Indeed.

In recent years there have been many more or less able actors who have challenged the popular verdict In the role of Hamlcl , but few , If any , have coiuoey near to the much coveted reward. Whllo the Ideal left by Mr. Ilooth's performance remains fresh In the public mind , genius itwlf will have no easy task to dissipate the Impression.

Mr. Salvlnl's portrayal of "Hamlet" will bo seen for the first time hero at Iloyd's theater , this evening , when the performance , owing to its length and the elaborale nature of the production , will begin precisely at 8 o'clock.
