CREDIT MEN TO MEET.
National Association Will Gather in
Kansas City-Its Aims.

Kansas City, June Ask hundred
manufacturers and business men will
meet in Kansas City on June 9, 10 and
IL to discuss proposed improvements in
commercial laws and formulate plans
for great notifications and reforma-
tions in matters of commerce.
The second annual convention of the
National Association of Credit Men is
the occasion of the meeting and the
delegates will determine upon plans for
an active campaign against ObjectiOna-
BILE statutes in the different states and
undesirable laws of the national gov
ernment.
The Credit Mems association has ex-
listed under its present organization on
ly one year. Al the first convention
held in Toledo, o., in 1896, a permanent
national organization was formed, and
since that time the association has
grown until now there are local socie-
ties in more than a score of cities in the
United States. The membership is con-
Stantly increasing.
Credit men-the men who manage the
credit departments of their respective
f1rms-say that appalling abuses have
gradually crept into the credit system
until the burden presses heavily upon
the shoulders of merchants. There are
disSimilaritieS in the various state laws
relative to the relations of debtor and
creditor and in many cases the laws
foster corruption through inability to
deal adequately with the offenders of
justice. These conditions are the cause
OF h6aNy losses TO merchants ana are
conductive to unrest and distrust.
The credit men will try to improve
these conditions by legislation and an
understanding among themselves. By
so doing they say that not only the
manufacturers and wholesale men will
be directly benefited but the honest re-
tail dealer will feel the good effects.
Among other changes which are pro-
posed are restriction in the wholesale
granting of credit; change in the
homestead exemption laws of the states,
which are at present very diSsimiliar;
cases of assignment; a law making it a
penal Offense to secure credit by false
statement in writing made for the pur-
pose of obtaining credit whereby any
handling stocks; the Improvement of
mercantile agency service.
The committees of the local aSSOcia-
ton have been very active in arranging e
the details of the convention. Although
the programme has not been finished
these have accepted invitations to
speak:

nance"

the indulgence of q. false sentimental

disrepute and creates the impression

Mr.. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the
Burton House, Burton, w. Va one Of
the most widely known men in the
state, was cured of rheumatism after
three years of suffering. He says: Il
have not sufficient command of Ian
guage to convey any idea of what I
suffered. My physicians told me that
nothing could be done for me, and my
friends were fully convinced that moth
ing but death would relieve me of my
suffering. In June. 1894, Mr.. Evans
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co., recommended Chamberlain Pain
Balm. At this time my foct and limb
were swollen to more than double their
normal size and it seemed to me my
leg would burst, but soon after I began
using the Pain Balm the swelling be-
gan to decrease, the pain to leave. and
now I consider that am entirely cured.

Mr. Chas. Kuhlmann was q years of
age yesterday and celebrated the oc-
casion befittingly with large party Of
friends at Schilling's garden on Grand

The large garden was well lighted

ed across the water and through the
rustling foliage overhead. The San
Antonio Deutscher Maennerchor was
in attendance and rendered several
songs during the progress of the even
ing's pleasure.
A neat and appropriate speech was
made by Mr.. Frank Arnold, cOngratu-
lating the young gentleman and wish

night. For matinee tomorrow "Boc-
