A resolution was presented which de clares against the practice of dealing in futures, puts and calls, andasksthat stock quotations and such other board of trade matter antagonistic to the farmers be prohibited from the mails and telegraph companies.

It was the first ride on the Mississippi for many of the members, and to say all enjoyed it would be putting it mildly. The congress was the guest of the citizens of Rock Island on the excursion. WERE NOT ON THE PROGRAM Two fire Alarms Gave Visitors Chance to See Department in Action. Two runs of the fire department in the business district last evening pro vided entertainment for the delegates to the Fanners' National congress which was not on the program. Neith er of the fires was of any consequence, though that of the awning on the Mitchell & i.ynde building about 5:45 was spectacular for a few minutes. The awning over a window of Ar thur Burrall's office caught fire, but how the flames started is not known. The crossing watchman's shanty on First avenue and Eighteenth street caught fire last evening about 9:.r5 from a defective electric wire. The de partment extinguished the blaze with out difficulty.

C, for 1907 Gathering OF THE FARMERS' CONGRESS Colonel Beneham Cameron, Vice Pres ident, Boosts for Southern City Madison May Be Candidate. I Either Kansas City, Mo., or Raleigh, N. C. will be the next meeting place of the Farmers National congress judging from the opinions expressed by the delegates at the meeting at the Watch Tower yesterday afternoon. The former is favored because it is almost in the greatest agricultural dis trict and the latter because of the prox imity to the Jamestown exposition which will be held at Norfolk, Va.. next year. The matter of selection lies entirely with the executive com mittee, but Chairman Wickey called for some expression from the delegates to ascertain their desires. Madison, Wis., may also be a candidate for the meeting place. Several members of the executive committee when seen declined to make a definite statement, but were not em phatically opposed to either place, nor enthusiastically in favor of one or the other. car Norfolk. Fair. Colonel Cameron, of North Carolina spoke in favor of Raleigh, stating the delegates could hold their meetin there and after that go to Norfolk to attend the exposition, claiming low rates would be in effect. Until he had invited the congress, Kansas City was the favorite, but after Colonel Camer on had given his opinion, several of the delegates retracted and declared for Norfolk. -A delegate today said he believed that as the congress held its session last year at Richmond. Va., it should not again return to mat territory witn- out giving otner parts ot tne country a chance, and many coincided with him. The question of the selection of a convention city is nowever. prooie matieal, and as one member of the ex ecutive committee said, "It will de pend upon the probability of a big crowd whatever city is chosen."
