A Power Beside the Throne of State Capable of Great Deeds, ‘Wholesale Houses Multiplying in Lincoln.-Annual Moeting of the Grand Lodge, I. 0. O. F\ Correspondence of the Bee. Lixcory, October 21.—T fine finished in “‘brown ston noticed a building on Eleventh street front” style, Leighton & Brown, wholesale druggists. Tt is 50x b6 feet front on stories high and contains about $75,- 000 worth of drugs. Messrs. L. & B have two traveling salesmen and re bearing the name of the ground, three port an incroase of trade of 40 por cent. over last y cognized fact that that the day at hand when the WHOLESALE TRADE of Lincoln will be worthy of note. There ever had a better record than she has are few cities of her age that now even. 1 was unable to seo the secrotary of the board of trade, but I gained the following figures which are approxi- mately correct. The total amount of goods sold for the past twelve months will agaregate upwards of a million and a half of dollars, About twenty-five traveling sales- men are represented by Lincoln, and being centrally located a great deal of trade comes without solicitation. There are now two grocery, two fancy groceries and fruit, one drug, two iron and hardware, one furniture, and a dry goods houses will be opened in March next, doing a wholesale busi- ness. The city has been developed until she has got to that pitch when wholesale trade and manufacturing usually begins, and considering the advantages 1t has by way of quick ac- coss by rail to il points adjacent, Lincoln must have a reputation of be. ing a good distributing point. MANUFACTURING industries are sure to develope wher- ever theve 18 a demand for them, and T can see no reason, looking from an unbiased standpoint, why there is not now the best of argument in favor of making a success at manufacturing some of the staple goods now in a great and growing demand throughout our prosperous country. To be sure there is no water power here, but at places where there is it 18 for the streams on the prairies are 8o treacherous that no dependence can be put in them. The dam is washed away causing sometimes serious delays, and the owner feels himself in luck if the factory does not go with it. Some of the most extensive manufactories we have are run by steam, in_preference to water K power, even where water could just as well be had, Fuel is the most serious drawback in the advancement of manufacturing in the west, but a supply will turn up a8 soon as somebody really wants 1t. There is always a supply where there isa demand, and as a good rule works both ways, it is evident that a de- mand for domestic goods has been created throbghout the west and a home supply will follow, and Lincoln happens to possess the accommoda- tions necessary to attract the atten- tion of the parties who wish to take advantage of a good opening. Waool is raised here and shipped way east, made up, shipped back again and finally consumed by the grower at a taviff for cartage that would give a factory a nice margin, for extra ex- penses over her eastern compeitors Soap 1s used extensively every- where, and could be made in Lincoln as well as anywhere else, Sugar from the cane or glucose from corn or beet roots could be used if made st home just as well as if made 1,000 miles away. All of these pro- ducts are naturally adapted to Ne- braska soil. There are flowing springs along the Salt creek that are strongly impreg- nated with saline properties which signify that EVAPORATING SALT WATER will be the order of the day as soon.as some device can be introduced to keep the dust from the vats, It is needless for me to make further com- ments on this subject, as the manipu- lator can bes! decide for himself where these advantages are to be found, and while he may be looking around I earnestly invite him this way. I learn that ten years ago there were only three brick buildings in town, and that a yoke of oxen drew the entire outlit of the State Journal company from Nebraska City in one load when they came here twelye years since. Is it possible that the events of a decade can be so brilliant- ly illustrated? It would take the whole of your paper for a week to note the improve- ments in detail that have been wrought in that space of time, and the casual observer sees plainly that prosperity is the word. from the observatory of the government building 1 took a bird's eye view of the city that stands where less than a score of years ago there was nothing but a lone and deso- in, but now is eagerly sought after, and T asked myself why this sudden revolution was brought about and what lad T been doing in the mean time.

And so the people of Lincoln have combined their efforts and are a strong and pro gressive union OF THE LODGE.

A new electric revolving light, to be placed on South Head, Macquarie Harbor, Sydney, Australia, was re- cently exhibited by the makers, Messrs, Chance Brothers, of Birming- ham. It is called a first order, dioj tric, revolving light, with the electri- cal arc. The lamp has a special ar- rangement of prisms for securing verti- cal divergence of the beam. It isover six feev in diameter, and the height is about nine feet, and it is said to be the first time such dimensions have been applied to illamination by the electric arc, The lamp or regulator has a power of about 12,000 candles in the focus of light, and the merging beam has a luminous intensity ex- ceeding 12,000,000 candles. The light will give flashes around half the horizon at intervals of a minute, and will make a complete revolution every sixteen minutes. On an average the light will be visible a distance of forty or fifty miles. Its makers claim that i be the largest and most power- ful light in the world. ) The Country.
