Btill Another Proof of the Trite Say- ing That Energy and Fair Deal- ing Will Win Against all Opposition. many large manufacturers hive established a great demand for Wwatres in the w which has been of mutual interest to both sections of the country. Among them may be promi nently mentioned the Union Manufac- turing company ot Toledo, O. About three years ago this company opencd o smiall ‘office in Omaha. It was done uletly and without ostentation. Know- the intrinsic mevit of their ma- chines, and having faith that worth must win, they began oy Their busin: can truly be have had a phenominal growth. A great little 10x12 office they have incres uhtil they now occupy two hand- gothe store rooms and a basement all full to running over with handsome fhachines or occupied by the offices and desrooms of the different departments. hieir busincss extends all over the west. They employ five traveling men n the rond and have ten wagons, with as many men, operating in Omaha alone. Their city office and salesroom i located at 1609 Howard street. This foom is large, airy and pleasant, and fitted up in first-class style. The ban- ners, drapery and wall decorations which are elegant, are all done in the i office and upon the Union sewing ma- § chines. The ladies will please bear | thisin mind. They do not impor ¢ thing, but positively make right here % in Omaha every article 0 be ¢ found in their beautiful sales parlor and art room. My, Smith the manager intends making this department one of especial interest to the ladies. It is * présided over by a lady whose duty it Will be to show visitors their machines ahd explain the work. Any lady wait- ™. in for a car or at a 10ss to puss an hour lcome to call in and visit this de- pnr{manz whether she wishes to buy a Bewing machine or not. They do all Kkihds of chenille, arrasine luul silk em- broidery and it is the intention to make & permanent exhibit of work done in the ufliw in this room. Mr. C. P. Hefltey who for twenty years was con- neeted with the Singér” company, five years of which he was their city man- et of their Omaha office, i has charge of the city de- ttinent. The general manager f, G. S. Smith and Mr. Heflly have each cozy offices in the rear of the tlor. The room 1607 is the stor usting and repairing room. This as well as the large basement is largely vecupied with other large stock of machines for their wholesale and retail trade. The ml;umnu department is in charge of Mr. Clarence Harmon, an ex- gert who can not only adjust a machine ut can make one entire, having been employed for years in the largest fact- ories in the United States, dies are . oftenataloss to know where to find needles, oil, ete., for their sewing ma- chines. You can find at the Union office a complete variety suituble for any machine. Those things have combining to secure the success of the Union. The first of which is the real merit of the machine itself, which has more good points than uny sewing ma- chine made, being the lightest running, the quictest and the simplest in con- struction of any machine in existance. Third, they have positively the hest equipped office ever opened in the west, one which reflects credit upon the com- ny, the city and the management. Phis office is a company’s office, run in the interest of the manufactu selves, who will notallcw the in a machine to cease as soon as th ismade. The Union Manufacturing compuny guarantoe their machines for five years and this office ures to all western buyers, and especially those of the city all that a positive guarantee implies. Under thi guarantee will be respected by this fice whether you bought your Union sewing machine of this particular office or not. This office is just as permanent a8 the company. Everybody in Omaha is cordially invited to call at their cozy arlor, 1609 Howard st., and see theiv | autiful display of 1 uhrc-luilw. ban- ners, children’s dre ete., all made upon the Union sewing machine. It will surprise you, please you, piy you. Bronze and gold frames at Hospes. — CHUROI NOTES.

PONCA, Neb., June 6.—[Editor Omaha BE The recent fioods here have sub- sided; the dove has returned to the ark bearing an olive branch, which shows there is dry land upon which we can tread once more. Our farmers are tak- g heart and while many of them have not their corn planted yet, they hope with an auspicious season the balance of the year to reap a good harvest of corn in the fall. Small grainis doing well and there will be an immense yield of hay. If the season so far has been anything but prosperous, other things have con- spired to keep up the hopes of our peo- ple aud lead them to believe that the future of Ponca and Dawson county will be glorious. For twenty-four years there have been rumors upon rumors that coal in abundance was hidden in our hills and valleys, and from time to time during that period many of the energetic citizens of this place have with limited means and indifferent machinery burrowed and dug, for the mineral into the sides of eliffs and bowels of valleys in_ the vicinity of Ponca. John Slough, T. Welty, William N. Huse and others, some ten years ago, worked in this direction and claimed then to have found coal. At another time our ex-county clerk, 1. M. Beslin, prospected for it and found something like coal,that burned like it, looked like it, and was used as coal by many of our people. In neither ease did the parties godown deep enough and the coal they found lay but some seventy-five or a hundred feet beneath the surface of the earth—an upper vein undoubtedly, indicating, many thought, and still continue to think, a purer and better article still deeper down. Those matters were noised abroad and many came here to look over the ground for themselves, one Massey and one Davenport in particular. They bought north of Ponca. between it and the river, which lies amile north of the town, two years ago about one thousand acres of land at very high ices. Our people were on the qui upon this. Much speculation was indulg d in as to the object of the pur- . The land was poor—not fit for purposes but in a few in- ces—not even good pa ge. Why o much of it? 00 nc ¢ for it such high p n acre? The public gave publicity and extent to thes. and abou sar ago u firm of practical miners camé on her essrs Newman and Pruit. They decided to mine for coal and went to work with a will ploying at times ns many as twent, men at the wor! struck of very fair looking coal, which dug, and sold hundreds of tons (u(lm people who regavded it as good as soft coul for which they had been accus- tomed 1o pay $6 and 7 ton. Newman -from and Pruiv convinced themsel that coal was here, made overtures to our citizens to juiu and aid them in the further prosecution and development of the matter. But for some reason or other, and principally what they re- garded the bad management of these gentlemen, our citizens did not tuke hold of the matter then. They had no reason to doubt the repr tations of Messrs Newman and Pruit---that coal was here and a good quality and in abundance; so entertaining these views, a number of our peopie headed by our popular and. energetic mayor, K. M. Dorsey, formed a company known as the Coal and Waterworks company, chief among whom are Mr. Dorsey, William N. Huse.l5. D: . 3. Slough. John Slough and K. Bittenbender. This company has entered into a con- tract with a diamond prospecting com- pany of Chicago, who are now here and at work, having the prospect hole al- ready down about 150 feet. The forma- tions through which they have. passod s0 far correspond e ¢ with the an- Aughy, of the s 180, t of Stough Bros , s, and to which [ Prof. some ten yen drillings done he under the manageme ‘Wilby, Huse and othe have already referved in this letter. Mr. Augher med then that these last yml'l.iun} ssed in their borings, through a 44 foot vein of good coal ata depth of 500 feet. I this be true the can be no doubt of our being able to find a vein of coal of that thickness at the depth indicated.

M. — Almost Buried Alive, A Memphis (Tenn.) dispatch to the Chicago Herald of a recent date s Ten days ago news was received here ot the death in Hudson county, Tenn., of M th Webb., who had been mar- married about two years., The fatal dis- ease was believed "to be consumption. Mrs. Dicie Webb, the mother-in-law of the young woman, was very much at- tached to her and at the old lady’s earnest request the body was shipped to Memphis f it ar- rived Mrs. Webb, Sr., had the lid of the coffin taken off that she might once more gaze on the features of the dead. and at her command all others left the room. Mrs. Webb was struck by the life-like appearance of the body, but no thougnt of the truth entered her mind. After looking at the still face for a moment she leaned over and kissed it. The flesh was warm to her touch anc she thought the body stirved. Starting back in Affright, she saw the shrouded form rise up in the coffin and stretch out its arms to her. Mrs, Webb sereamed at the top of her voice and sank into o chair. The young woman, for the dead had returned to life, moaned slightly, mnl id in wenk, unnatural ‘where am I¥” By this time a number of people had been attracted to the room by the screams of the elder Mrs. ‘Webb. They found her in a fainting condition and the daughter-in-law mak- ing vain_efforts to crawl outof the coffin, Willing hands extricated her from her hideous quarters and laid her in bed. She began talking in a nat- ural tone and gaid to those about he “Oh, it was awful. 1 remember the oceurrence of a few minutes since,when they said I was dead. 1 tried so hard to speak or move, but_couldn’t. Then they put me in the coffin. In the dark, ible black box I was conscious all ime. Then I remembered looking into mother’s face, and then for the first time became unconscious, and what happened I'don’t know.” Within an hour afterward Mrs. Webb went into a fit of unconsciousness, from which she never recovercd. The body was kept two days, and, unmistakablé evidence of death being apparent, it was buried h the usual ceremonies. The ph sicians who attended the young \\um.m here are undecided as to the explana- tion of her case. ol e A Chinese Paper.
