JoBBERS HAVE BIG HOPES
Omaha Men Return from Chicago
Meeting Encouraged for
Better Rates.

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 were
Charles II. Pickens, w. S. Wright, ].
Clarke Colt John s. Brady, A. c. Smith.
T. G. Byrne and f. j. McVann, commits
sioner Of the Commercial club. Thirty
five johbers of Omaha, Council Bluffs,
Kansas City. St. Joseph and Sioux City
were present at the 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.
II am confident that our arguments will
do some good" said Charles II. Pickens
Several of the traffic managers admitted
after we had stated our case, that Missouri
river jobbers ought TO. be afforded some
relief. Whether our suggestions were
practicable or noLs, they said they were
not able to- determines on short notice, but
they promised to take the matter under
serious consideration and try to formulate
some good plan for0 affording relief.
Glass 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 inn
portance as compared with the newer bust
ness along the Missouri, and of course the
western towns were not entitled to so
much consideration then. Things have
changed, and the cities 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,
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 over
their eastern competitors"

MORRIS MAKES A DISCOVERY
superintendent of Associated Chari-
ties Learns that Organization
ia IncOrnOrRted BODY.

Although having worked for years under
the direction of the International Christian
Institute, the committee of Associated
Charities has just discovered that il is an
Incorporated body entirely independent of
the institute, and has Teorganlzed its
forces.
The discovery was made by Superintend-
ent Stephen Morris of the Associated Char
tiles in looking over the records at the
court house. He found a record of the
filing OF articles of incorporation for the
organization in 1892 and by these articles
the Associated Charities was empowered
to carry on its work for thirty years. 1t
is supposed that during period Of a
few years ago, when the institution was
not very active in charity work. the provi-
sions of the articles were entirely forgotten
by the members of the board, so that it
was an easy matter for the International
Christian Institute later to take the organi-
zation under its wing The members of
the old board confess they thought the
articles had mentioned short term of
years and .b'.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, lin
order to make the organization cooperative
with all charities in the development of
the work and to maintain an equal rela-
ton to all charities, the need of indepen-
dence was felt" Mr.. Morris was working
on this idea when he went to look at the
records.
A meeting was called of the members of
the old board. such of them were living
and in Omaha, and the Associated Chari-
ties was declared independent of the in
stitute, members of the committee under
the late regime being elected to fill va
cancies on the board. Thomas Fitzpatrick
is president. Rev. r. J. Mackay chairman
Of the executive committee, and the other
members of the board are: Moritz Meyer,
C. w. Lyman, w. w. Slabaugh, f, II.
Packard. Rev T. V. Moore and 7. F.

OMAHA DISCOVERED 1906.

(From an Eastern Journal)
The development Of the west seems to
have been 80 rapid that eastern men. who
nave always kept inside their own little
shops, have not until lately realized that
the country west OF Chicago vs. really civil
lied, with progressive people and enter
prising cities
The country between Chicago and San
Francisco to most fasteners has been but
a space on the map, but Omaha, dot in
that space, gives evidence Of being re-
markably live city. II Is sufficiently alive,
anyway, to have awakened fasteners to
the possibilities of the west I'm other lines
than cattle raising and mining.
The eastern clothing trade has been edu-
Gated by one man, Mr.. A. V. Dresher OF the
Dresher Tailoring company, Omaha. For a
number OF years Mr. Dresher has been COM
ing cast twice a year. purcha sing materials,
making a minute study OF styles etcetera
These persistent visits of Mir. Dresner his
large purchases, to secure the lowest prices,
have finally brought the biggest men I'm
the trade to realization Of Omaha's up
to-dateness.
And MFR. Dresher assures them that
although 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. In fact" he says. the most
fastidious man in the city need not leave
town to secure satisfactory apparel at the
right prices"
