ATTENDANCE AN I EXHIBITS B.TH LARGE
Show rr Ahead of What Was
Looked Far and Dealers Mark
latere.ted la the Vim
alar Made.
Tli fourteenth annual convention of the
Nebraska and Western Iowa Retail Imple
ment and Vehicle Dealer's association-
opened formally In the Auditorium at I
p. m. yesterday, taring tne morning
hours the members were coming Into town
on every train and after making their
hotel arrangements were going to the
Auditorium to have a look at the vehicle
and Implement show spread out there on
the big floor. Several hundred people
visited the building during the morning,
but there n no great crowd at any on
time.
The show Is much further advanced to
ward completion than had been expected.
Much the larger of the exhibits have been
installed and the delinquent exhibitors are
hurrying forward with the last touches.
The show Includes a very fine line of car
riages. There are also farm wagons ana
various Implements, come of which are In
operation by means of power belts. Several
automobiles are on exhibition and there
are several fine collections of models of
tanks, water towers, windmill and all
manner of pumps and agricultural utilities.
Considerable disappointment was ex
pressed over the Insblllty of President W.
R Thomas of the National Manufacturers'
association to be present at the meeting.
However there was a very material In
crease In attendance during the afternoon,
and by the time the meeting was called to
order the.-e were approximately 100 mem
bers at the Auditorium. There was some
delay In calling the afternoon session to
order owing to the noise In the Auditorium
caused by the placing of exhibits In posi
tion. An announcement was finally made
by a stentorian-lunged member that the
business meeting would assemble ahortly
before t o'clock on the stage.
Welcomed by Judge Estelle.
The formal business session opened on
the Auditorium stage at 2:E8. with President
H. If. Freehand of Onawa, la.. In the chair.
He briefly announced that Judge I-ee Es
telle had kindly consented to deliver1 the
address of welcome owing to the unavoid
able absence of Mayor Frank K. Moorcs
and Act'rg Mayor Zlmman.
Judge Estelle said that It had been the
ambition of his life to get his name on a
program either at a reception or a ban
quet, but this had always been denied htm
for some reason, but he was Invariably
drawn upon as a substitute for someone
else. He was, however, particularly glnd to
do this for his more than friend, Mayor
Moores, knowing that Illness prevented him
from being here at this time. Continuing,
he said:
It was only an hour ago thnt I was noti
fied thnt I was expected to welcome you
to the city. Knowing thnt you were Imple
ment men and nil machinists of more or
less ability, I telephoned to the acting
mayor as to what I should say nbnut turn
ing over the keys of the city. He answered
me bv saying that he knew he city was up
against it Hnd that there would be no line
for keys as the hinges hod been taken off
all the doors of the city Just to save the
locks while the Implement men were here.
The Judge concluded hlsj remarks by ex
tending the visitors a most cordial welcome
to the city and wished for them every en
joyment and happiness during their stay.
Arthur P. Karbach of Omaha responded
briefly on behalf of the association. He
said that tlra spirit of the day Is organiza
tion. Orgsnixatlon la a leveling process and
the distribution or wealth will be the re
sult. President's Annual Address.
President B. H. Frecland then delivered
his annual address. The address stated
In part that this was practically the first
annual convention of tho association. He
was pleoscd to note that the membership
was' Increasing. He hoped that much' good
would come from this meetln. as he knew
It would. It was a meeting for discussion
and consideration of mutters pertaining to
the Interest!! of the retail dealer, the Job
ber and manufacturer. KaeJi had the right
to present his Ideas and views to the con
vention. The general purpose of the as
sociation was to place the Implement busi
ness In the hands of retail dealers. A ma
jority of the wholesalers grant this right.
The trouble Is to tell who Is and who Is
not a regular dealer. It Is the further
purpose of the association to keep the
wholesaler Informed as to who are the
regular dealers. Wholesalers who sell di
rect to consumers are not entitled to the
support of the retailers. It waa true that
the wholesaler had much to contend with.
He believed that the Federation of Asso
ciations and Dealers would remedy the
evil. This being the first year under the
local orgy. nlxat ion plan, the actual results
were yet to be determined.
Ed It. Culver of South Omaha, secretary
treasurer, read his report, which treated
largely on the work of the association
during the year and the varying results.
The report statea. in part:
We have had no association In the past,
but have one today. We started out with
a membership of fifty-nine and now have
&L'l. I believe the jobber and manufac
turer have a right to sell where and to
whom they please. No association bus the
right to say who they shall or shall not
ell to. The only Interest the association
lias Is when the dealer cuts Into prices.
I do not object to curbstone dealers, If
they maintain prices. My Idea Is that we
should get closer to the jobber and manu
facturer and have a Itetter mutual under
standing. In order to maintain our or
ganisation money is needed. The prompt
payment of due and ussestnents can only
assure us of success, and I want to urge
upon all members promptness and willing-

Lively Aronnd the Hotels.
The hotels are rapidly filling with rep
resentatives of the agricultural Implement
houses from all parta of the country. The
lobbies are elaborately decorated with
placards certifying to the superior charac
ter of all manufacturers and the special
attractiveness and usefulness of individual
products of the Implement houses. The
Omaha dealers are strictly In evidence in
this line of advertising, and most
of the Omaha houses have estab
lished headquarters In the different
hotels. There la scarcely a prominent Im
plement manufacturing firm In the country,
but what Is represented by one or more of
their most wide awake agents In the city
at this time. The big agriculture Imple
ment Industries of Springfield, O.; Molln,
111.; South Bend, Indiana, and a great many
of the Chicago manufacturers are all rep
resented here as are most of the leading
carriage manufacturers of the country.
The Nebraska manufacturing companies
outside of Omaha are also on the ground
with exhibits and hustling representatives,
including the big Dempster plant of
Beatrice. The creamery companies are also
represented with their preferred line of
separators. Several of the hotel lobbies are
utilized as repositories for carriage and
buggy exhibits, and, In brief, all of them
bear distinctive evidence that the agricul
tural implement dealers and manufacturers
are here.

STATEHOOD BILL AGAIN UP
Senate Eiacuitui an Amendmtat Btsignd
to Protect Sight of Indiana.
SPEECHES BY STEWART AND NEWLANBS
BUI Aatnarlslng the Construction of
Pablle Bnlldlnar at Rawlins, nc,
Is Passed Bill to Amend
Postal Laws.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 10,-The senate
today continued consideration of the Joint
statehood bill, the chief accomplishment
being the acceptance of most of the amend
ments suggested by the committee on In
dian affairs. Speeches were made by Messrs.
Stewart and Newlands, the former advo
cating an amendment for the protection of
the Interests of the Indians In the Indian
Territory and the latter favoring limitation
of the area of lands to be sxld to In
dlvlduals.
The bill for the reimbursement of Amer
lean sealers for losses under the seizures
In Bering sea also was considered, but a
vote was not reached.
At the beginning of today's session of the
senate Mr.. Cullom, from the committee on
appropriations, reported the executive,
legislative and judicial appropriation bill
and gave notice that he would call It up for
action at the first opportunity.
In presenting a number of petitions for
the expulsion of Senator 8moot from the
senate Mr. Daniels said:
The petition concern the right of a sena
tor to his seat. Nothing Is officially known
to the senate concerning this case, which
Is In committee, and I don't know how the
signers of these petitions could psss upon
me case witnotit Knowledge, or tne lemi-
mony. I present the petitions because the
people have the right to send them, but not
because I recognize the propriety of them.
The following bills were passed:
Authorizing the erection of a public build
ing at Rawlins. Wyo.. to cost IWft.nno.
Amending the postal laws relative to the
bonds of postmasters and other employes ot
the Postoffict department.
The senate accepted the amendments to
the resolution authorizing the use of the
pension building for the Inaugural ball,
which passed the measure.
Mr. Fulton called up the bill authorizing
the payment of damages to American seal
fishermen In the Bering sea for Injuries
sustained prior to the arbitration of 1IW1,
and the measure was debated at some
length. Mr. Foraker expressed the utmost
sympathy with all tlie efforts to suppress
pelagic sealing. He added thnt this prac
tice was still followed and It must be
epeedlly stopped If the seals were not to
be destroyed entirely.
At 2 .o'clock the bill was displaced by the
statehood bill, and Mr. Stewart addressed
the senate on the latter measure. Mr.
Stewar. presented an amendment to the
bill providing for the control of affairs In
the Indian territory by a superintendent
to be appointed by the president and paid
a salary of $1,500 a year. He said the
secretary of the Interior has drafted a
similar measure and read a letter from
that official saying legislation of this char
acter Is necessary to protect the Indians.
Mr. Stewart spoke In support of the amend
ment.
The committee amendments to the state
hood bill, to which there was no objec
tion, were accepted, but many were passed
over with the understanding they should
have further consideration.
Mr. Gorman gave notice of an amend
ment limiting the provision for the pay
ment of 3 per cent Interest on the $5,000,000
loan proposed for the benefit of tho Okla
homa school fund. Mr. Newlands urged
the amendment of the bill so as to prevent
the monopoly of desirable lands. He said
no purchaser should be permitted to pur
chase more land than was necessary to
support a family.
The senate at S p. m. went Into executive
session and at 5:08 adjourned.
PROCEEDINGS
OP THE
HOt SE
Dmj Spent In Discussing the Bill to
Improve Currency Conditions.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. The session of
the house today waa given over almost en
tirely to discusalon of the bill reported by
the committee on bunking and currency
"to Improve currency conditions." A sud
den Interest In tho measure seemed to de
velop as evidence by the large membership
present throughout the day. Democratic
opposition was dissipated by the acceptance
of an amendment by Mr. Williams (Miss.)
providing that government deposits shall be
made only on competitive bids. Final ac
tion on the bill was not taken.
The Impeachment charges on which
Judge Charles Swayne will be tried were
presented Just before adjournment and
notice was given by Mr. Palmer (Pa.),
chairmen of the committee of seven, which
prepared them, that he would call the mat
ter up on Thursday next.
In the house today the army and Indian
appropriation bills were reported.
A resolution waa adopted directing tha
secretary of the Interior to Inform the
house whether or not any of the principal
or Interest of any Indian trust funds or
other moneys of any Indian tribe are being
expended for support of any Indian con
tract schools other than government
schools, and If so, what authority he had
for ao doing.
The house then went Into committee of
the whole to further consider the bill to
improve currency conditions.
Mr. Bartlett (Ga.), who waa the sole
member of the banking and currency com
mittee, opposed to the bill and who filed
the minority report upon It, In a brief, but
vigorous speech declared that he had
no apology to make to the house or to the
people of the country for his position re
garding the bill. He affirmed his adherence
to domestic principles and said he could
not favor a bill de did not believe In. In
sarcastlo vein he spoke of the alleged
anxiety of the republicans to reform cur
rency conditions, when he said, they knew
Stomach Paralysis
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, properly
named, Is Paralysis of the Stomach.
When you have water-brash, feel
sick at the stomach, have gas or wind
on It, or feel as though you had a ball
or heavy weight in the pit of the
stomach after eating, and the nerves
and muscles of that organ cease to
act and digest your food, that stop
page in the process of digestion, to
call it properly, is Paralysis of the
Stomach, and should be treated as
such. It in perfect folly to asElst the
stomach with dyspepsia remedies and
stimulants to dissolve the undigested
food. You may get relief, but at the
next meal you suffer again. The
proper treatment is to build up the
worn out muscles and nerves of the
stomach so that it can do its own
work without assistance, and not only
digest the food you eat to-day but to
morrow and forever after; as Is done,
by the use of Dr. Chase's Blood and
Nerve Food and Liver Food, which
have an Immediate action on the
nerves and muscles, that control di

they were adepts and past masters In the
art of being ostensibly for something they
did not Intend to psss.
Mr. Bartlett criticised' the manner In
which the bill had been kept to the front
and Inquired whether or not It was In
preference to all legislation looking to the
reform of the tariff or to "aiding the peo
ple to relieve themselves from the choking
and grasping fingers of a combination of
railroad extortionists,"
The Williams amendment offered some
time ago providing for loans to national
banks only on competitive bids, was op
posed by Mr. Smith (Iowa) and favored by
Mr. Cockran (New York).
Mr. Fowler spoke In advocacy of hln own
am"ndment which provides for government
deposits up to 23 per cent of the bank's
capitalization and 2 per cent Interest, the
government to have first lien on the bank's
securities.
The Williams amendment was adopted
114 to 90.
Mr. Thayer (Mass.), referring to the
Fowler amendment, said he "had an Inkling
In some way" that If the bill became law
most of the money would go to New York.
Mr. Williams thought that action on the
Fowler amendment was unnecessary In
view of the adoption of his own amend
ment. An amendment to the Fowler
amendment was offered by Mr. Bowie
(Ala.), designed to meet the suggestion of
Mr. Thayer, providing that all moneys so
deposited shall be equitably distributed be
tween the banks in the several states of
this union," but Mr. Thayer contended
that the Bowie amendment did not go far
enough.
On a rising vote of 138 to 14 the com
mlttee agreed to Incorporate the Bowie
amendment as a part of the Fowler amend
ment. The Fowler amendment as amended
on a vote by tellers was lost. 101 to 125.
An amendment was agreed to striking
out section 2 of the bill repealing the law
prohibiting deposits of more than $3,000,000
during any calendar month for the pur
pose of withdrawing circulating notes and
substituting therefor a provision permitting
national banks to retire their outstanding
notes In the discretion of the secretary of
tne treasury, not exceeding 2 per cent of
their circulation. The committee amend
ment striking out section 4 of the bill,
which authorized the secretary of the
treasury to withdraw any denominations of
silver certificates from circulation and to
substitute therefor certificates of other de
nominations, was agreed to. Section 7 of
the bill, which waa stricken out by the
committee and which provided for a tax of
one-fourth of 1 per cent each half year on
the average amount of national bnnk notes
n circulation, on motion of Mr. Hill of the
banking and currency committee, waa re
stored, with the proviso that Its provi
sions should not apply to circulating notes
secured by bonds of the loan of 1898-1918
authorized by act of June 13, 1898, refunding
certificates authorized by the act of Feb
ruary 26, 18T9, and the loan of 1925 author-
zed by the act of January 14. 1875. or any
reissues of such bonds bearing the same
dates of Interest.
An amendment by Mr. Thftyer (Mass.) to
section 3, restricting the amount of silver
to be rccolned into subsidiary coin to $16.-
000,000 in any one year, was adopted. The
committee by 131 to 154 rejected the amend
ment of the committee on banking and cur
rency providing for the recotnage of stand
ard silver dollars "from cash in the gen
eral fund In the treasury."
Mr. Palmer, chairman of the committee
of seven to prepare charges against Judge
Swayne reported- twelve articles of Im
peachment and gave notice that on Thurs
day next he would call the charges up for
the action of the house. Mr. Glllett (Cal.)
aubmltted a minority report on the Swayne
case. '
At 6:04 p.(m. the house adjourned until
tomorrow.

BAN J0HNS0NHAS A PLAN
Wonld Modify Demand of Minor Rase
Ball l.easraea Before fSrant.
ins: Any Concession.
CINCINNATI. Jan. in. The National
Base Ball commission at Its meetli g today
considered the changes In the national
agreement desired by the National Associa-
I tlon of Minor League Clubs. President
Powers of the Eastern league, Judge Kava
naugh, president of the Southern league;
President Murnnne of the New England
league, Managers Hanlon of Baltimore and
Stalling of Buffalo and others made
speeches, most of them urging greater con
sideration for the minor leagues. The first
point to come up was the Increase In the
price to be paid for drafting minor lcscue
players and the discussing of the number
of players to thus be taken from one t' .nil.
Ban Johnson, president of the American
league, declared that he was opposed to the
request of the minor leagues regarding
drafted players. Instead of the plan for
changing the national agreement suggested
by the minor league men, Johnson offered
a substitute, which has been taken under
advisement by the representatives of the
National Association of Minor Lesigues.
Johnson proposes that each club In the
National and American leagues be limited
to the drafting of not more than four or
five players each year. He favored a maxi
mum price of $1,000 for drafted men.
