Special Correspondence of Tix Iine, Crestox, lowa, April 1.—Tn my rambles this week, along the line of the C. B. & Q. T have met the usual amount ot business activity, sensational happiness, police news, political war training and good weath- or, the latter of which has heen for a day or two like the ‘‘balmy days” of early June, MALVERN is all ajog over a new packing house, that is to cost £50,000, with capacity for packing a hundred thousand hogs a year, and is trying to get the new college away from Shenanboah. The Judkins has changed its name and hereafter will be labeled the Wilkinson House, while brother An- derson continues to hold the fort at the Central with a ‘‘full house,” and ‘‘the boards” are making it fashiona- ble to call for buttermilk, since the creamery has begun to dc business. AT HASTINGS, Bacchus,” during the last hours of the ‘“‘license system” were appropriate and of an interesting nature, as we heard it from the car window. EMERSON * has fed stock in large quantities this winter. Its schools are closed, and the professor wandering in the Black Hills, while the Emerson house con- tinues to wait on its patrons in the same quiet way. The Chronicle is published with its load of good sense, and Tur Ber is read every day. RED OAK seems to have been quite :esthetic in taste, orelse to have had an over dose of theatricals, for we found J. W. Carner, playing Rap Van Winkle to an empty house, when anything Carner would play, in the eastern or middle states would always draw full houses. Antimonopoly seems to be very strong here, and is often spoken of in connection with the names of Chas. Van Wyck and Col. Sap, and a state alliance was here and organized a farmers alliance, and an anti-mo- nopoly league. The Secretary, Mr. L. E. Williams, a practical farmer from Montrose, Lee county, Iowa, is state lecturer for the order in this state, 18 a nephew of Judge Williams, of Chicago, 8o noted for pluck, and he set forth in clear and forcable, man- ner the needs and aims of the alliance which is being organized all over the state. I deem him the right man in the right place, and thought he had very clear ideas of his busi- ness. Brother killets, of The Express, has drepped the daily, and has plenuy of job work in addition to his weekly issue. The Telephone, published by R D. Sperry, hasa good circulation also, and wear a ‘‘green back” label, while The Record will hereafter be “‘worked off” from a new Campbell press. Red Oak has an intelligent and genal class of quill drivers, VILLISCA seems not to have been effected by the dry season and poor crops. The Western house has a fine new porch ornamenting its two fronts, and Mr. H. 8. Lott has secured the old ‘“Southern” and reorganized its in- wardness and changed its sign to Cottage hotel, where he will be ready to attend to the traveling public day or night, while the Commercial house is full, full all the time, and the genial landlord and his cheerful lady know how to “‘kecp a hotel,” and the boys have found it out. There is a good deal of real estate changing hands. W. A, Woodward, the C. B. & Q. land agent, who has just changed to new and very grand quarters on the corner opposite his old stand, says ho has plenty to do, and W. R, Minert, is selling land and lo:ning money every day. Two bus- iness houses here are doing a very large business and it may be interestiug to the readers of THr Bee to compare some of their facts and figures with those in other towns or in other States. The hardware house of Barnes & Watterman are doing a business that will compare with the business ina large city. In looking at their books I saw the cash sales of last Saturday were almost a thousand dollars, and a few days before the cash received in one day was twenty-two hundred. As I'wandered up the street to the north- west corner of the square, the mam- moth store of A, Harney, is the at- traction. The numerous signs and bulletins make anncuncements of new goods, and prices and kinds of pro- duct bought, but the large ‘“‘bee hive” painted on the outer wall is the most expressive. emblem end correct label, I entered from the front fac- ing the public park to find a building 120 feet long, with ware- house and refrigerator at the rear. This monster room is divided by a partial partitirn, or diaphragm, near which the oftice desk is located in the center of the building. KFrom the front entrance we are introduced to the departments of dry goods, silks and' dress goods, housekeeping and linen, woolen and domestics, hosiery and underwear for ladies and gentle- men, cloak and shawl devartment, millinery, notions, and the Demorest pattern department, Passing the diaphragm to the west we find a full line of groceries and provisions, with the exit on to Third street, conven- iently located near the main entrance to the butter and egg department in the cellar, An idea of this egy irade, which is only a few months ‘old, may be shown by the statement thatduring the first three days of this week he shipped a thousand dozen, and sells to the largest dealers in the west. ‘The butter and egg traflic is a very large item, and is fast becoming an | important feature ot the business of the town. Mr. Harvey came here less than a vyear ago from Monmouth, I1., and late in the sum- in butter and eggs, and he has already established a reputation in prices, that brings him the good butter from many of the smaller towns for twenty nules around, and he has no_trouble t sell all he can get, although he has ship- ped 15,000 or 20,000 pounds during the winter season, and was some times a ton or more behind in filling his srders.” He has all the machinery and appliancas for working and packing, which is under his personal supervi- sion, and is putting up butter, worked and packed in his butter department, in » and 10 pound boxes. His brand of *‘Bee Hive Creamery But ter,” with the stamp of the “Bee Hive,” in the butter, is already known in the mountains, ten or fifteen thou. sand feet above the sea level, in Col- orado, Missouri, and_Illin and in many of the cities in Towa, Nebraska, and Kansas. The enterprise and suc- cess of this trade here, 18 working up other dealers to the idea, that there is aright and a wrong way to do busi- ness, and the general public all along the slope are beginning to realize that the dairy is far more reliable and profitable than the grain crops, and that good butter always finds a ready market. The evidences show that Rome and Pompeii excelled in gladitatorial plays, and most of these theaters and games were open to the sun; but in this land of improvements, most of the strifes in ‘‘deadly combat’ are attended to mm ‘‘suitable buildings” and in the might time, and we pass by these ‘‘incidents” of which every town is ashamed, to one which should interest everv citizen of Omaha, 1t was in the early part of last Jan- wary, that Tug Bee called attention to a very important invention, just oy being patented by Hoxie and Patter- son of Corning, ITowa, which wasa new process of manutacturing stone. Trr Bee was the firat to call atten- tion to this stone and its great variety of uses, and now again, after months of careful inquiry, and watching it during the most critical tests by prac- tical stone men and builders, as well as the skilled in chemestry and geo- logical experience, I say to the peo- ‘e “you want this.” Itis the only manufactured stone that is made by a real perfect crystallization of the sand, which is the basis of the new rock, It is harder than granite, beautiful in finish, will bear the severest tests of fire and water, and in cost can be placed in competition with brick. For weeks have studied and counseled with able men as to the practicability of using this stone to pave the streets of Omaha. It can be secured and the sand ot tne Missouri can be made into a beautiful solid road bed, or laid in sections, at the pleasure of the contractor, making a road harder than granite, clean and perfoct, that can be repaired as easily as a house wall can be patched with lime mortar, and that will not cost more than the cheap wooden pave- ments. The great Napoleon, filled with prejudice and lad by popular clamor against the practical vse of the steam engine, lost one of the golden moments when he said: *‘There are a set of men, adventurers, charlatans, at every court in Europe, whb try to i pose inventions upon the authori- ties for money, which have no exhist- ence save in their own imaginations; and this American Fulton is one of them. Do not mention the subject to me again;”’ and we insist that if the business men of Omaha do not look well to this new paving stone be- fore going much further, and before some speculator purchases the right of Douglas county, it will be a terri- ble mistake, Col. W. W, Patterson, for years identified with many of the impor- tant business interests of Kearney. Nebraska, and now a resident of Corn- ing, Towa, is the inventor. The colo- nel has been for many years engaged in manufacturing the many stones used at present, and is well known all over this country, and will be remem- bered particularly as associated with Col. Thorp four or five years ago at Lincoln and Omaha. I may have been looked uj as one who is very easily talked iuto some new thing, and 8o Iputa few others onto the stand by saying that we fear Omaha will overlook this, while heavy capitalists in New York City are forming a stock company with a hundred theusand dollars to control five counties, in- cluding that city. The superintend- ent of the Inter Ocean mining com- pany of Colorado, and the leaviest stockholder in the company, came here to secure territory, as theheaviest stone dealers and largest contractors and builders in the nation, who all join with the scientists in pronounc- ing this the stone of to-day, and any- body who investigates will see that it is, without a shadow of doubt, what it claims to be. T'he notorious Riverton bank rob- ber, Poke Wells, passed along this line Friday evening in charge of Sherift Chandler and Sheriff Dan Far- rell for the State’s prison at Fort Mad- ison. They were assisted by G, T. Hatten, of Sidney, who has nursed him since his confinement in that jail. Poke Wells refused to he carried to the court house but insisted on walk- ing, and in court plead guilty to the larceny of a horse and the money taken from the bank, and was sen- tenced to five years for each;and many think he will never live the ten years to be tried for any other charges. At Red Oak while transferring to the main line, he had a very poor spell, and suffered much from his lame leg and from the ball Farrell left in his right'breast, and from some of the | - other twenty-eight pistol and gun shots he has received, and seemcd to liave a chill, and the sheriff tele- graphed to Creston for a surgeon join the train, but he soon revived from the chill and rested easily while chatting with the attendants who gathered around his bed, Buokeve JOUN BTABLEK, BROME BOHAMP, Piesident, Vico Pres't, W, 8.
