IMany readers turn at once io the society
page to learn of tbo week's contribution
to > the sldo dishes of lite and are perhaps
a trlflo disappointed to find that there Is not
moro of an exciting nature chronicled. A
society page tor the next few weeks must
necessarily bo n , catalogue of the home
comings ot those who tnako up Omaha so
ciety , as a few weeks ago the eamo col-
urns recorded tholr goings. This Is not ani
mating weather for the social profession ,
even among those who are not climbing the
mountains or rowing on the lakes. In these
days when the tnorcury plays around 100
degrees the society strata ot life are nat
urally not deep. The occoptcd way of dis
posing of tlmo with these who remain at
homo Is a quiet rldo in the moonlight , a
stroll on the exposition grounds , or some
unpretentious form ot amusement which
may not appear In the social columns for
the rweok. In the language of Cowper , "O ,
for a ledge In some vast wilderness , some
boundless contiguity of ehado , where the
ecorohlng , ( burning sun and the hot and
parching wind could never reach mo moro. "
Concessions must bo made to conscience and
social duties wait on the coming of the
fall.
fall.Tho calendar of society doings shows only
ono brilliant reception to relieve the mo
notony cf detailing the coming and going
of society folk and heralds the round of
galotlcs Eoon to bo ushered In. Cupid , after
a short respite and vacation at the seashore
nnd mountains , has returned with renewed
energy , Judging from the engagements an
nounced nnd from the brilliant weddings
of the near future.

cldo the championship of the house and

iMILiWAUKDB , Aug. 26. At a conference
of Independent dealers In sugar In Milwau
kee today It was determined to throw
down the gauntlet to the Sugar trust. A
statement was given out by James H. Post
of the Mollcnhaucr Sugar company tonight
In which he eaya :
"Tho refineries not controlled by the
American Sugar Kenning company liavo .1
capacity of about 16,000 pounds of sugar
per day and they will certainly tnako every
possible effort to Bell their sugar and It
the American Sugar Refining company se
cures the bulk ot the business , as It
seems to want. It will undoubtedly be at
prices that will mean largo losses to nil
refiners.
"Wo hopeIt -will not bo necessary for
us to make a price that will Icnvo no profit
to the wholesale men , but It they dccldo
to enter Into an agreement to only handle
'
American Sugar Ilcflnlng company's sugars
we will naturally be forced to adopt meth
ods to dispose of our sugars that will maka
It unprofitable to wholesale grocers who en
ter Into such nn agreement with the Amer
ican Sugar Refining company. "
