C. McHugh, formerly of the firm of Me- Hugh & Mockby, tolda Bee reporter that about six weeks ago, during his absence, his partuer gave Alex McIntosh aaumber of billsto collect. Among them was abill of #12.9, which McIntosh. collected and pock- eted the proceeds. £ “It was a bill,”” said Mr. McHugh, “that should not have been given out for collection, as either of the firm could have collected it easily. Before Mclntosh went away I got the uncollected bills from him andhe ad- mitted to having collected one and spent the moncy. He promised to leave $3.45, one-half the amount, at a lawyer's office for me, re- taining the baunce for ms services, He failed to do this, however.

A Silverware Manafactory. Has it ever occurred to those of our readers engaged in the manufacture of jewelryor silverwar that Omaha, Neb., offers excellent facilities for their line of business! asks the Jewelers’ Review. If it has it could not have struck their fancy very forcibly judging from the entire absence in that city of any manufacturing concern (in that ling] worth speaking of. But why this should be 50 iSOt very wasy to explain, Certain it is thata great future lies before the enterpris- ing individual who is farsighted enough and has the hardilood to plant himself, asit wer, in Nebraska's great ‘“f‘ stake off his claim, as the saying goes, and grow nght up with the countr; But perhaps we cannot better emphasize this fact or make it more impressive than to quote the words of our regular weekly contributor, who said recently: “‘It i & surprise to those who give the subject athought that Omaha has notsecured manufactories of the precious metals, Here is located the largest old aud silver reduction works in the world. It draws jts raw material from the leading mining districts of the west and yields an annual product averaging £10,000,000. It supplies the government with about one- fourth of its monthly purchases of silver, turas out consid able 1, and yields tons upon tons of Lead, copper and kindved metals. With an wstitution of this _character sup- plying the virgin metal, it would seem that Omuha affords excelient ovportunities for the manufacture of solid silver and silyer ware, gold and silver watch cases and inaustries. It may be argued that stoo far distant from the market, but the rapid trend of population westward, as shown by the census proves that within de the f population will be in the Mississipni valley. Omaba is des- tined to become promiuent as the moutder of tho precious metals, and the enterprising maniger who pioncers the industry will hawest o fortune” There 1s really more in this than _ what appears on the surface, and those who are inclined to belittle the whole thing will do well to recon- sider their has judgment.
