noting the absence of any one to oiler a

good for a man's stomach.
Your organization Is a very creditable one

the business and hI own bemilt.

was fountl that there was $465.30 still in
the treasury and the accounts of the ofU-
cers stood In good shape.
A little parliamentary skirmish was en-
joycd vhi1e waIting for it to report. In
the printing of the constitution and by-laws
no election of omcers had been provided
for in the order of business , so an effort
vas made to fix it up in an Informal manner.
An amendment , however , offered by Waiter
Moiio vith the intention to do this was
lost. Henry ilnubens explained 'why lie
voted against ( ho amendment. "It might
establish a bad precedent and questionable
methods might be fohiowed afterward in
amending the constitutIon and by-laws. "
The imiatter was arranged by an agreement
that the officers should ho elected under
the bead of "new business" today.
The committee on resolutions eventually
rcportd , through Chihirmnan thnmles Krug ,
a resolution which bad been written by tile
delegates who went to Indianapolis and the
effect of which Is to limit the membership
of the association to retaIl liquor dealers
only. It. suggested tile reconsideration of
the motion by which the brewers and wholesale -
sale dealers hiatt been mimitted to member-
ship. The comnittce recommended the
adoption of tile resolution. It also recommended -
mended a change of name to "Retail Liquor
Dealers' Protective Association of No-
braska. "
henry Ilaubens said he would withdraw
so as to give free discussion. lie had slat-
ply gone Itito the association for the geit-
cmi benefit of the liquor business. Like-
vise Waiter Melee withdrew , first , however -
over , assuring the association that he would
always stand ready to contribute in a pe-
cunlary way ( or its good.
The resolutions vero adopted.
Drug Store Saloon. .
The discussion on the exclusion of other
than retailers had once turned onto the
drug stores and another resolution , cover-
lug this very matter , vas rend from the
committee , in the following :

stores and ilepartinctit stores in violation of
law lIfts worked and is working incalculable
Injury to the legitimate licensed retail liauor
ticuiers of our state ; therefore , be it
Itesolved , That the members of the Nebraska -
braska Liquor Dealers' association in eon-
ventlon assembled express our stern disap-
Irovnl of the unlawful methods employed
by $10 lcrmit druggists to compete with II-
CetlliCi liquor dealers anti ilereby place the
stanmp of corltlcntnation on the city , county
aitti state otilcials who knowingly toiemato
hits wanton violation of our extsttn liquor
laws.
This resolution was unanimously adopted
wltiiout tliSCtlSSiOll.
Another resolution adopted was one corn-
lug outside tile committee , pledging tue
members of the assocIation to "patronize
only union-made goods whenever possible
to do so. "
As soon nit this action was taken Organizer
B. J. Smith of the Cigarmakers' Interna-

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Mayor Moores Approves ctt1cment with

ThINKS IT BEST THING FOR THE CITY

Council.
At the regular session of the city council ,
held iast night , Mayor Moores submitted t
proposition , saying that ho had approved the
resolution providing for th settlement of
tile judgment against the bondsmen of-
henry IJohIn , ex.city treasurer , who defaulted -
faulted in the sum of more than $100,000.
The mayor's communication upon the sub-
jct follows :
I return herewith with my apProval doe'
ument No , 2,466 , passed by your honorable
body at your Inst regular meeting , May Si ,
Is. This docunteat is a resolution authorizing -
izing a SettlellIelit with the first and secon4
term bondsmen of Henry bun ( 'or the sum
of $35,000 anti the payment of ahi costs in
the action heretofore pcndillg in the diStrict
court of Douglas county , Nebraska , against
the first term bondsmen lit which judgntent
has been entered , and directing the city at-
tomney to enter full satisfaction of said
judgment in the records.of said district court.
upon the payment of said costs mitid the sttiiu
of $35,000 to the city treasurer within sixty
days front this date.
'Ihie settlement as indicated in the resoiu-
tioti may seem to sotne to be a heavy this-
count upon the actual claim of the city
against the bondsmen of Henry 1301111 , but
a careful consideration of the facts will sat-
irfy anyone , I believe , that this settlement
is a desirable one. Very few persons believed
before the triiii of the case in tile district
court that the city would secure a verdict
against the bondsmen , and it certainly Is
quite improbable tllnt we tould be as sac-
cesaful on a second trial if the supreme court
should for any reason reverse the judgment
rendered by the district court.
The city attorney , Judge Ives and the as-
siatant. city attorney have spent. month8 in
the preparation of the case for trial. The
cyitlence for tile city was mostly obtained
front experts who had worked nearly a year
investIgating the city treasurer's books. It
no settlement is reached wIth th bonds-
atoll , ( Old the present judgment shtotlltl ho
reversed by the supreme court , the attorneys
for the city at the new trial wlticb would
ensue would probably not be the men who
have expondeti so tnuch tlnte anti shown such
splendid legal ability lIt protecting the city's
Interests during the recent trlai In the district -
trict court , for their terms of 010cc would
probably Ilave expired.
fltierts Mtt- Not ICCMIoild ,
Then , too , the experts employed by the
city at tile last trial might not be willing
to leave good positions elsewhere to conic to
Omaha for a month or two and give their
evidcnce in the case. The city , therefore , mit
a second trial , would probably have to ( Ic.
pond on new attorneys and experts who
would be tlnftuuiiinr with the details of the
case , and therefore unable to represent the
city as successfully as did the attorneys and
experts at the recent trial.
I realize fully that tile passage anti up-
proval of title resolution is an important
niatter anti one that deserves careful consitl-
eration. F'or this reasoitile greatest delih-
oration has been exercised , both by the coun-
cli anti by myself. The subject of a coni-
promise was first taken up more than a
month ago and ( till announcement was made
at various flint's in the papers of tue differ-
cut steps which had beqn taken bout by the
city anti tue bondsmen of Henry Bolln.
A strnciai meeting of the council was held
to hear protests from any citizens who rnigt
oppose such a conipromnise , anti an invitation
vas extended tllrotigh tIle daily iress to all
such persons to attend tue meeting ailti pro.
sent their views. No protestants appeared at
( ills special meeting amiti the resolution was
filially passed by tue councIl last Tuesday
night.
I have waited until the last ( lay aliovetl
inc before approving tue resolution In order
thtt : anyone desiring to present objections to
its approval could have atnpleopportunity
to do so , but no one has called upon tue for
( lint purpose.
During tile time that this compromise WItS
being talked of , I have discusseti tile niatter
with maltof otir leading citizens and taxpayers -
payers anti they hare almost withlout exc
( ion advised in favor
of accepting the propo-
sitlon submitted by the bomidsmnen of Henry
Bolln. I have therefore
, , approved the rca-
ohtftion , believing that the ttettieiflcilt effectetl
thereby is a desirlilile one for tile city and
that It will meet tile approval of all of our
citizens 011(1 taxpayers vIle will consider tile
matter carefully ,
