For a numlier of yeara Mr. Dresrier ha been com ing east twice a year, purchasing materials, making a minute study of style, etcetera. These persistent visits of Mr. Lreiier, his large purrhagrs, to secure the lowest prices, have finally brought the biggest men In the trade to a reallxation of Omaha's up-to-dateness. And. Mr. Dresher assures them that slthough Omaha may sometimes be a little behind In the matter of popular songs, the men of the city need not be even a necktie behind the east In nobby fabrics and stylish shapes.

Omaha's delegation to the meeting of Missouri river Jobbers In Chicago and to the conference of traffic managers of west ern railroads in that city Tuesday has returned. The members of the party wore Charles II. Pickens, W. 8. Wright, J. Clarke Colt. John S. Brady, A. C. Smith, T. C. Byrne and E. J. McVann, commis sioner of the Commercial club. Thirty five Jobbers of "Omaha, Council Bluffs, Kansas City, St. Joseph and 8loux City were present at t,he conference, their pur pose being to convince the traffic managers of the Justice of a reduction in class rates from the seaboard to Missouri river points. "I am confident that our arguments will do some good," said Charles II. Pickens. "Several of the traffic managers admitted, after we bad stated our case, that Missouri river Jobbers ought , tp be afforded some relief. Whether .."our" suggestions were practicable or not,,- they said they were not able to1 dotersilne on short notloe, but they , promisod '16 take the matter under erloua consideration , and try to formulate some good plan for-affording relief. "Class rates from the seaboard to this section of . the country are without doubt too high. The present basis was estab lished years ago. when the Jobbing points along the Mississippi were of great lm. portance as compared with the newer busi ness along the Missouri, and of course the western towns were not entitled to so much Consideration then. Things have changed, and the, Titles along the Missouri are larger Jobbing points than the Missis sippi towns, except St. Louis. We think the roads ought to change the rates. "Beside allowing us to make lower prices on merchandise to the retail trade, a decrease In tariffs would put us on a moro equal basis with St. Paul and Minneapolis, and put us in -a position to bid for the trade of South , Dakota.. Under existing conditions the Twin cities have all the ad vantage there. , . "The dry goods, shoe, millinery and drug houses are more interested In a reduction of .class rates than the grocers and hard ware men, for the . reason that the latter enjoy commodity rates on carloads, allow ing them to ship at less, than class rates, and thus giving them an advantage ovei their eastern competitors." 3., In case of sickness, noD but the best should be accepted, 4.

MORRIS MAKES A DISCOVERY Superintendent of Associated Chari ties Learns that Organisation Is Incorporated Body. Although having worked for years under the direction of the International Christian Institute, the committee of Associated Charities has Just discovered that it is an Incorporated body, entirely Independent of the institute, and has reorganized its forces. . The discovery was made by Superintend ent Stephen Morris of tho Associated Char ities in looking ovtsr the records at the court house. He found a record of the filing of articles of Incorporation for the organization in 1S93 and by these articles the Associated Charities was empowered to carry on Its work for thirty years. It Is supposed that during d period of a few years ago, when the institution was hot very active In charity work, the provi sions of the articles were entirely forgotten by the members' of the tioard, so that It was an easy matter for the International Christian Institute later to take the organi sation under Its wing. The members of the old board confess they thought the articles had mentioned a short term of years and ib'.t the Associated Charities had lived Its allotted time. Recently there has been considerable talk of getting away from the control of the Institute, for, as Mr. Morris says, "in order to make the organization co-operative with all charities In the development of the work and to maintain an equal rela tion to all charities, the need of indepen dence was felt." Mr. Morris was working on this Idea wh.cn he went to look at the records. A meeting was called of the members of the old board, such of them as were living and tn Omaha, and the .Associated Chari ties was declared Independent of the In stitute, members of the committee tinder the late regime being elected to fill va cancies on the board. Thomas Kilpatrlck Is president. Rev. T. J. Mackay chairman of the executive committee, and the other members of the board sre: Morltx Meyer. C. W. Lyman, W. W. 81abaugh. K. H. Packard, Rev. T. V.
