Mr ; . Hownll called attention to the grand
workj done by the bureau of education con
nected with the exposition In the number of
congresses and conventions It had secured
for Omaha. Speaking for the National
Council she felt fully the warmth of the- welcome
como voiced by Mrs. Sawyer. She spoke of
the organization of the council and Its divi
sion of work nnd method ! , . Ita symbol of
the burning light with the motto. "Lead.
Kindly Light , " she- believed Is being well
lived up to by the council. That s > mbol
cprcsented the filled lamp of the wive
omen of the nineteenth century awaiting
tie coming of theBridegroom. . The Na-
onal Council had been peculiarly fortunate
n meeting In conjunction with the great
xposltlons of the country and had served
s a Counterpart of the material expositions
f human endeavor along Industrial lines
n that It had demonstrated the progressive-
ess of women along Ideal lines This Is the
ourth of the congresses of women. It rep-
csentcd the harmonious co-operation of the
Ighteen great national bodies united In It ,
ach of these organizations doing Its own
articular part nnd following its own colors ,
> ut all constituting .1 chorus of harmonious
ffort for the uplifting of humanity and led
jy one common standard. She likened It
o the morning stars of the beautiful poem
if the book ot Job "which sang together
he destiny of the human race. " The main
den of the council Is that of an economizing
of effort based upon a general co-operation
nstcad of a multiplying of humanitarian
rganlzatlons.
After her , Individual responses were made
y other officers of the council and the rep
resentatives of the affiliated organl7atlons.
The first came from Rev Anna Howard
Shaw , vlco president of the council. She
lllatcd upon the responsibility of women as
heir right , duty , privilege and high honor.
Woman Is again taking up the opportuntles
and duties which have always been hers
and which should never have been taken
rom her. The fcocietary , Mrs. Louise Har-
nutn llobblns of Adrian , Mich. , spoke of
icr appreciation of the cordiality of the
welcome experienced In Omaha and BO did
Iho treasurer , Mrs. Hannah J Halley of
Wlnthrop Center , Mo
"Hilim ! lllKlitn" Start Drlmtis
Susan II. Anthony , the president of the
National Woman's Suffrage asoelatlon , ad
vocated the right of equal suffrage. About
all the kindred organizations , from her polnl
of view , were In ono way or another de
voted to repairing the damages nf society
but hers aimed at the cause of these evils
Woman's exercise of the ballot , she eon-
tended , would do away with the causes o
these evils. She briefly reviewed the suf
frage movement for the llfty yeaia of its
existence since Us starting by Lucretla Mot
and Dllzabeth Cady Stantoii. In her con
clusion she asserted that her organization Is
greater than all the others because It in
cludes them nil.
Mrs. Sew all took occasion to remark that
It was that plain Miss Anthony would not
take a subordinate position. However , the
national council would readily entertain the
antl-suffraglsU were they organized. Miss
Anthony retorted that she would be only ton
glad to have them present to hear their re
monstrances. Mrs. Sewnll went on , to flay
that the national council Is not committed
to the fciiffrago movement , nor to any polit
ical party or religious belief , but all organ
izations of women arc welcome to Join It ,
This paved the way for an Introduction ol
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster of Washington , pres
ident of the Woman's Republican Associa
tion of the United States. It was the re-
sponsibllity the women of the country felt ,
said Mrs. Foster , that prompted them to or-
ganlzo themselves In New York In 1888 tc
help the republican party , but , overshadow
ing Individual political views and preferences -
ences , the final arbiter Is the ballot box
Miss Anthony , she remarked further , hai'
pity for the women who do not want to vote
As for herself , she did want to vote. Semi
women did not care which party held tin
reins of government , but she did care. Then
arc women present at this meeting of tin
council who are the peers of any man
she said , and already women vote at schoo
elections and In some states for special offl
ceis. The ono purpose of her orgnnlzatloi
Is to teach the cardinal doctrines of repub'
llcanlsm.

Mrs. Hannah O. Solomon of Chicago
cage followed on behalf ot the Na
tlonnl Council of Jewish Women
of which she Is president Shi
made n good point on the old Pauline doc
trlno that women should keep silence in th <
churches , from which doctrine , she said , tin
Christians were the first to break away
vvhllo the Jews adhered to It , though reject
Ing all the rest ot the Christian doctrine
Since the Jewish women organized In 189
they have often filled synagogue pulpits , Ai
to politics , eho had never belonged to an ;
suffrage association , but her democrat ! '
blood had boiled while listening to Mrs
Foster nnd If Mrs. Foster was anxious ti
hear some good democratic doctrine sh
might have an opportunity any tlmo thi
Jewish council met.
There wcro other talks by Mrs. Jane S
Richards of Salt Lake for the National Wa
man's Relief society , Rev. Anna Shaw fo
the Wlmodaughsls , which Is represente
here by Miss Lucy E. Anthony ; Miss Doug ;

Miss Su an 13. Anthony , who for forty-
eight years has been laboring with voice
and pen In behalf of woman suffrage and
who Is now In attendance upon the meeting
of the National Council of Women of the
United States in this city , in speaking of
her woik last night said :
"There is this difference between the work
of other -woman's organizations and that of
the suffrage associations. They have some
thing directly to work upon There Is
something they can HOC , or feel , or obtain
which brings Immediate results and encour
ages the v\ork. With our organization It Ks
different. Wo have- been working for a
principle. We ask that In all affairs con
cerning mankind that woman shall have
tqual voice and power with man. That her
Judgment nnd wishes shall bo consulted and
have their Influence In shaping the actions
of government and society. We do not ask
that only these women who favor equal
suffrage shall be considered , but all women ,
whatever their views upon questions may be.
Wo have had hut this single principle In
view In all the work wo have done
"Whenever jou hear It charged that wr
are republicans , or democrats , or othei
party sympathizers , you may set it down
as erroneous. We are for nothing except
such conditions as will bring about the
changes we have been advocating. There
Is not a majority ot the republican parts
favorable to our cause , therefore wo cannel
be snppoitcrs of that organization. The
same can be said of other political pnitlcs ,
If in the face of those facts should wo show
s > nipathy for ono or the other of thest
political parties wo might Justly be charged
with favoritism without cause and the ulti
mate success of our principles Jeopardized
"It Ib necessary , then , under these condi
tions , that we remain In the paths wo hav <
marked out , We must continue to battle
for the right to assist In raking the law :
by which we are go\crned equally with the
men and for the establishing of the iiile ;
of society which bear with greater burdens
upon the women than on the men. H Is i
work of education and will not be Identi'
fled with political parties until such time ai
a majoilty of some political organlzatloi
stroug enough to make Itself felt In tin
councils of the nation favor our cause.
"Hut It must not bo understood that tin
council , the meeting of which I am HOT
attending. Is given up to the suffrage move
ment. It represents organizations devotee
to all branches of work In which womei
are Interested nnd my organization Is hu
an Incident of the meeting. I have beei
engaged In this woik for nearly half a cen
tury nnd am far from being discouraged
cither with the result of these efforts o
with the outlook for the future. "

PARK BOARD AND THE LAGOON

Nlon'H HlHtMIMNloil ,
The scheme to preserve the exposition la
goon as a centerpiece of a park In the north
ern part of the city occupied the attentloi
of a special meeting ot the Hoard of Park
Commissioners jesterday afternoon. This la
the plan that has been agitated lately and
of which mention has already been made In
The Hee.
R. W. Richardson was the principal ndvo-
cato of the scheme. Ho presented a petition
containing some 300 signatures , asking that
the park board should take some action to
secure the land upon which the lagoon IH
located. Among the names attached to this
petition were these of the following exposi
tion directors Frank Murphy , Edward
Rosewater , O. W. Wattles , U. E. Hruco and
T. P. Kirkendall.
The plan advanced by these petitioners Is
that the park should contain Eome eleven
acres , Including not only the entire lagoon ,
but also a portion of the bluff tract. The
park board has no money with which to pur
chase this land and recommends that the adJoining -
Joining property owners should buy It. Nov.

When the evening train from Llnolu and
the west , known as the Hastings local , drev\
Into the Burlington station Ian night It waf
two hours and forty-five ml mi tew late. It
was duo at 7 o'clock and the largo crowd ol
passengers who were to travel to eastern
points on the care wcro compelled to wait
In the depot until almost 10 o'clock. A com-
' blnatlon of causes was responsible for the
i delay , the most potent among them being
1 unusually heavy travel. Extra ccachrs wen
attached to the train at several points tc
accommodate pacsengeni bound for this city
and others farther east. Another cause foi
the defay was wet rails , the train having
been preceded by a araall rain storm during
almost tbo entire trio from Lincoln.

In the CnmpH nml What May
Hermit Tlirrufrntn ,
In discussing the opinion handed down by
lie supreme couit In the cases against the
{ nnsns City Live Stock exchange and UK
\ansas City Traders' Ltvo Stock cxchaime ,
Varreu Swltrler. one of the nttorno)3 for
he South Omaha Llvo Stock exchange , said
esterday : "Tho reports of the decision
mbltshed ye&tonlny afternoon wore eoine-
\hat misleading. The telegram that I re-
elved from James II. McKlnnej , cletk of
ho court , states that the court holds that
he Traders' exchange Is not In restraint of
rado and that the Lho Stock exchange Is
ot engaged In Intel state commerce. While
his decision la a victory for the exchange
ntercsU , It leaves the question of state lu
irferencc still undecided.
"The cases were pushed under the Shot-
man law , which was passed In IS'.U , the go/-
rnment claiming that the exchange violated
ho anti-trust provisions of that act. The
questions to bo decided were. rirst , Were
ho organisations In restraint of trade ? onJ
econd , Were they engaged in Interstate
commerce7 An affirmative decision on Uu
irst question would have been a vlctoiy tot
ho government. On the answer to the latter
meatlon depended whether the case should
come under federal Jurisdiction. If Itrro
answered In tlu > negative , the case could
still bo pushed under the state laws of a
similar nature.
"The Llvo Stock exchange1 Is an nssocla-
Ion composed of commission men ,
raders , bujcrs , Fellers and paokeis.
The Traders' exchange is a kin-
Ired organization composed exclu
sively of those who buy and sell on their
own account. What would be true of the
one would also be true of the othi'i And
nv decision that might have b en ban led
down in regaul to the one could hn\e been
applied to the other as well. It is for tills
reason that the opinion does not btttlc the
case for good.
Not Out of the Woods.
"Tho case is settled as far as the Liu
StocK exchange la conceined by the holding
of the couit that they are not encaged in
Interstate commerce- unless the matter Is
taken up under the state law. In that pvcnl
the decision In iccaid to the Tinders' ex-
cbango would lia\o considerable weight lr
detci mining tbo decision.
"Theio Is a case now pending before.Judge
Munger In which the government attack'
the South Omaha Lho Stock exchange , lr
view of the recent decision it will probablj
not be pushed Hut under the law passei
by the legislature of this state In the sprln ; :
of 1S'I7 It Is still liable to attack. If sticl
n case should come bofoie the courts am
the exchange should be defeftted the tied'
sion would not only nflcct the live &tort
Interests but would also eventually hi
cotton and oil and In fact all these ex >
changes tlnough which the bulk of the bus ! '
ness ot the countiy Is carried on "
John T. Cathers made no attempt to con
ceal his disappointment when Infoimed o
the decision of the supicme court in thi
Kansas City Live Stock exchange case He 1
the government's special attorney In tu <
suit hi ought against the South Omaha Llv
Stock exchange and to nn extent the icsul
lu his cabo has been dependent upon till
particular decision. Yet Mr. Cnthers In
slsts there is a difference In the. chalacte
of the two corpoiatlons. He pays the Kan
was City company was orgaul/ed only fo
leeching , > aiding , feeding and selling llv
stock , while the South Omaha conccin lu
a vastly wider flc'ld of operations under It
aitlclea of Incorporation. However , he ex
peots that Judge Munger will decide till
case on the line ot the opinion handed dow
by the supreme court , but says the cas
will bo appealed on these new points o
dlffc'rcnce In the corporate articles
Illxtoi-- tinI.oonl t IIN - .
The paper * In the South Omaha case wer
filed with the- clerk ot the UnltVd State
court In this city September 23 , ! Sfi7 The ;
had been drawn after the papers In th
Kansas case , but the attorneys had takci
advantage of the experience gained bv th
Kansas attorneys and made many points no
Included In the first case. The matrer wa
brought up before Judge Munger , who ap
pointed John W Ilaltln a special commls
Hlouer to take testimony. This was com
menced in February last and continued four
teen days , running over info March. Tin
commissioner made his leport nnd the at
torneys. argued the cas > o on April 7 , aftc
which the court took the subject under ad
vlsoment. A few weeks ago Judge Munge
announced 'that' he would not pass on th
case until the .supiemo court had disposed o
the Kansas City case , which wa
then before that body , as the dc
clslon in ono would probably ap
ply 'to both cases. Court Is now in ses
slon at Lincoln nnd when Judge Munge
has been furnished a copy of the oplnlo
JusJ rcndeied ho will probably pass upon th
Honth Omaha case.

tend that the articles of Incoiporatlon of th

The news ot the decision was leeched
with unmistakable signs nf pleasure at the ,
stock yards at South Omaha. AH was explained - I
plained bv BO mo ot the Inteicsted pnitlcR , I
It Is n matter of vlt.il Importance to
one. doing business nt'the stock wards , who )
sny that the natuio of a commission busl-
ness Is such that It Is possible for unscru
pulous parties , if uniestinlned , to go Into
the buMncis , adveitlse freely , cut commlF-
tilomi to catch unwary shippers and then
snmo day when their icceipts arc large sell j
out , put the proceeds In their pockets and '
go out of business. In the produce trade
this IB done fioquontly In eveiy city of any
linpoitanto hi the country. With n live
stock exchange charging $1,000 for n mem
bership , and with rigid rules governing
mi'inbcishlp and manner of doing business ,
It is piactlcally Impossible for such parties
to g * t Into the exchange. Moreovci , with
out an exchange it would bs posMble , it Is
said , for parties totally Irresponsible , even
though well meaning , to go Into the com
mission business without nnv monej , oper
nte a shoit time and then fall for wont of
money 01 business experience , spoiling the
business for evciy ono else , doing them
selves no good and caxislng the sblppern
he.ivv losses , beside4 bringing the couinils-
wlon business into general reproach. With
the piotirtlon alfotded bv the nxchmigo the
