business which eventually benefited every
man In the community. In some cities
taxes on large manufacturing establish
ments were RENTED as an lnducement for
their location. In this connection he read
the proposed constitutional amendment reg
stating donations by cities towns and coun-
ties Of financial inducements to such enter
prises. lie urged that II was important
that the people should sec that this amend
ment was approved at the coming election.
Such law would afford means OF develop
ing the beet sugar, Chicory, glucose and
other Industries which utilize the products
OF our soil. The increase In the value OF
the land near Norfolk since the location OF
thc bee, sugar factory was cited as an IL
lustiatiun OF the benefits that would accrue.
w. x. Bennett called attention TO the fact
that the executive committee had acquired
habit of lending its moral support to the
committees who were endeavoring to bring
conventions here In 1898 and then send them
out to obtain financial assistance from the
merchants. He urged that the latter were
having about all they could attend to, and
II would be a good idea for the members OF
the committee to back up their moral sup
port with a subscription. He urged the
members OF the club to talk Omaha more
enthusiastically. There was much to boast
Of in the successes of the Knights of Ak
Sar-Ben and in the prospects for the big
exposition, and that sort Of talk was what
gave a city good reputation.
HAVE FAITH IN THE FUTURE.
p. f. Her declared that much of the hard
times existed in imagination. When he
started up his distillery recently he had been
advised that he was taking a big risk, but
now he had n bigger trade than he had ever
had before, and the demand was outgrowing
his capacity. He spoke at some length in re-
gard to the cheapness with which power
could be obtained in Omaha as compared
with other points. He was a month behind
on his orders. and didn't have n dollar on
his books. That was not an indication of
hard times, and there was no better manu-
featuring center than Omaha for the prod
ucts that were found in this climate.
Rev. s. Wright Butler was introduced to
discuss the somewhat secular subject OF
Crops" He treated his subject in his
usual witty fashion, lapsing finally into
glowing picture of the agricultural resources
OF the state. Here were 5000 900 acres of
fertile soil of which 900 were still un
cultivated. If the fraction of IL, 600, 900 acres
had inundated us with such bountiful prod
uct what promise was left in the vast terri
tory yet to be cultivated. In his opinion
there was too much politics and too much
professionalism. Men were too anxious to
educate their sons to be lawyers or physi-
clans and lead them away from the clean
and healthful life of the farms. If some of
| the men who could now be seen on the street
corners telling how to save the country were
out cultivating some OF the unoccupied acres
of Nebraska 1t would go far towards bring
ing back prosperity.

WABASH CUTS HARD COAL RATE.
Another Disturbance Created i'm Local
Freight Circles.

Another Disturbance Created in Local
Freight Circles.
Local freight circles were again disturbed
Yesterday morning by the news that
the Wabash had cut the rate on
hard coal from Toledo to Missouri
river points to 81 ton. 1t had
been thought that freight rates had been
settled, and that all that was needed to
make them permanent was Wednesdays
meeting of the presidents in Chicago. But
the Wabash has been regarded as an uncer-
tain quantity regarding general freight
agreement ever since General Manager Ram
sey said that he was through with agree
ments when the death of the Western
Freight association was announced. This view
was strengthened yesterday morning when
IL became kI own that the road had made
cut while freight rates were only waiting
for the Chicago meeting to make them ef-
fective.
The rate on hard coal from Toledo to Mis-
souri, river points has been S2.67 a ton.
Where the route has been partly by water
the rate bas been II cents less, or $3.50 a
ton. The new rate is reported to be ST.
As soon as the rumor got around. CONNER
cial Agent George NJ. Entrikin OF the local
office OF the Wabash telegraphed to Toledo
asking the rate on hard coal to this point
At o'clock he received a reDly stating
that the rate was 81 60 and that there had
been no change. 1t Is thought by some
freight men that the rate of 81 has been
made to Kansas City, and that as the
Omaha & st. Louis has declined to agree
to II the reduced rate will not be effective
for Omaha.
The report Of the reduction comes from
st. Louis headquarters, and is generally be
lieved. The other roads have already PEE
titioned Chairman Mdgeley for permission
to meet the rate So far he has declined to
authorize a general reduction. Further de-
moralzation of the present unsatisfactory
condition of freight matters seems more
than likely

LINCOLN, Oct. 13-(Special Telegram. y
The opening session of the Nebraska branch
w. b. NJ. l., was well attended tonight at
the Congregational church, the chief feature
being an address by Rev. DR.. Parmalee a re-
turned Turkish missionary. DR.. Parmalee
told of the death of the educated women in
the foreign field in 1893 when he first en-
tered the service abroad and recalled the
names Of noble men and women sent from
Nebraska and Lincoln, among them Miss
Nicholson of this city, who succumbed to
the fever after the siege of Erzeroum; Miss
Brooks of Omaha, not now in the work and
Mr.. and Mrs. Peet, sent from Lincoln Mr.
Peet has been treasurer of all the Turkish
missions, handling S15O00O year and $780,
600 besides sent for Armenian relief The
missionaries have relieved 10 900 people since
October 8 last the date of the massacre of
Trebizond. Their work is carried on as
yet chiefly among the Greeks along the
coast, and Armenians at Erzeroum and
Khartoum; but these are only the gateways
through which they hope eventually to work
on the Mohammedlns. Trebizond was in
the year 1900, A. D., the seat of Turkish
government. and there a flourishing Chris
uln church has been founded at the very
heart of Mohammedanism. DR.. Parmalee
has worked thirty-three years among the Ar
menians, and has high hopes for the COM
plete evangeization Of the nation.
Chancellor MacLean occupied a chair on
the platform during the lecture.

broken boxes. Seventy pairs OF medium
grade shoes were missing. The balance of

the reason they thought II best to waste
no time on it, 1t cortained between SIC
