A Brief Review of the Work Already Accomplished, BUSINESS NOW SHOWS SOME IMPROVEMENT A Better Feeling Prevails in Man facturing Circles Than Ever Be- fore and New Enterprises are on Koot The middle of last August Tur Bee took up the subjoct of home industries and pointed out that the way to promoto the prosperity of tho city and state was o ncreaso tho manufacturing intorests and that the most practical way to mccomplish this desirable result was to extond to the local manufac- turers the benefits of home putronage. The series of articles on this subject struck @ responsive cord in the minds of all citizen: consumers as well as manufacturers, and when a fow weoks later Tie Ber suggested tnat the manufacturers ought to organizo and help carry on the work they came to tho front immediately and organized the Man- ufacturers' and Cousumers’ Association of Nebraska. Tho object of the association was to pro- mote howo patronage or as stated in their articles, “to promote home industry by en- couraging tho purchase of Nebraska products and manufacture It was evideut from the outset that no im- portant work could be done by the association until the majority of the mauufacturers had joined. Accordingly the first fow weeks of the existence of the organization has been largely spent in soliciting membership and gaining strength to undertake the reul work before it They have, howover, done a great deul of very good und effective work in & general way. Thoy bave adopted a trade mark, by meauns of which the consumers can identify home made goods, They have created general good feeling among the manufact- urers themselves, who are practicing what they preach,und are buying all their supply and raw material within the state, so far as possibie. They huve created a feeling of coafidenco amung the wakufacturers that nover existed befor) in the history of tho state, and from every direction como revorts of old manufacturers increasing their plants, und new ones coming in. A good many firms have increased the number of their employes, giving support to several hundred people just_ut the commencement of winter, Columns might be filled with the details of the work accomplished by the manufacturers' associution, and the agitation of home pat- ronage in Tuk Bek, I'he ussocintion vow numbers over 100 ae tive memuers, representing s many manu- facturing firms, and they will undertake at once the work of spreading the home patron age sentiment among the people. It is hoped to accomplish this by porsonal appeal to th people and by inducing them to join the nssociation under the head of tho general mombership. © According to the articles of the association there aro two classes of membership: First, tho aotive momhernuy. which is made up of the manufacturers who alone bear the ox- expeuses of the organization; socond, the gevoral membership which shall consist of such oitizens of the stato usshall sign an agreement to give & preference to goods manufactured in the state. No expense is sttached to tho general membership. The object is 10w Lo swell the general mem- bership of the association until it shall in cludo the name of every public spirited eiti- zen in the state. The association wiil have printed Flanks for the signatures of the peoplo with the fol- lowing hoading: “We, the undersigned consumers ana eiti- zous of Nebrasks, respectfully request that Yyou enroll us as members ou the general merm rship of your associution, with the unde: standing that this wembership will be free to Vs from any expense whatever, but that we wili, at all times, ondeavor to purcha ucts manufacturved in that what is an advantaze to the Nebraska, manufacturers will in timo prove an advin: tage to us as citizens of Nebrasku." Each biank wilt have a wido margin at the left of the street, which will admit of their being bound togethor i letter files or in tho form of books, in_which shape they can be preserved in tho office of the association. 1t is argued by the manufacturers that these lists will bo of westimablo value to tho city and state. Eastern manuracturers are watch- 1ng every movement made in_the Nebraska home patronage campaign, and as these lists of people promising to use Nebraska-made £00ds grow into the thousands, they will feel that Nobraska 15 the place of all others in which to start aew manufacturmng indus- tries. When they come here they can bo taken up 10 the rooms of the Manufacturers’ and Con- sumers’ association and shown the names of the peoplo who will buy their goods if they will locate within the state. This will be a fur more potont argument 1 favor of moving to Nobraska than any bonus of a fow thou- sand dollars, “The different mombers of the association Dpropose to pass these lists around amonyg cheir frionds and employes and obtain as many sig- natures in that way as possible. The assoc ation will ulso_employ @ few canvassers who vill call from house to house throughout tho city with theso blanks and oxplain the ob- jects und aims of the home patronage move- ment, “Tho association has another matter under advisement ana though the details are not yet arranged enough has_beon decidod upon to warrant the matter being made public. 1t is proposed to give a free cotertuinment at the opora house to consist in part of stort speoches by the most prominent speakers and business men of the state on questions affect- ing the material welfaro of tho state and people. Auother featuro will bo the tusic: part of the eatertainment to be furnished by tho best local talent. It is proposed to muako up @ program tbav will be most interesting and ono that no ono can afford to miss seeing and hearing, The dotail will probably bo completed and givon to the public sometime the coming week. Business among the manufacturers is im- proviug, and as their business has such a direct intluence npon everything else there is bound o be general improvement all nlong tho line. Tho mauufacturers themselves ascribo this improvement to the fact that cousumers are giving home made goods the preference over all others, and that this 18 an inducement to the dealors to buy und keep in stock such goods. T'ho result is thut when the dealers get into the habit of carrying Roods of local manufacture they soll them to those customers who do ot ask cspeclally for home goods, as woll as 10 thoso who dd and the consumbtion of such goods is large increased in this wa ‘The pearl button industry has boen wen tioned several times iu thesé columns, but as it is the direct outgrowth of the home pa- tronage movement and has boen mado a suc- cess by that means alone, 1t may ot bo out of place to speak of it again. Tho business has been placed on 1ts feet and the number of workmen in tho Western Button Manufac turing company’s factory on South Thir teonth street has boen increased to seven- teen, and Mr. Kaspar says that orders have come in so fast that he will put on five more men this weok, making a total of twenty. throe men in this factory. The wages in this lino ave good, ranging as high as 81 per day for the skilled operators. ~Mr Kaspar has just returnod from tho east, where he iuspectod the button factories in Brooklyu, Now York, and in Now versey, and ho is very entbusiastic over the possi- bilities of the business. Ho can $00 no reason why Omaha cannot compote both in quality and prico with the output of theso factories, and no is engaged in fitting up bis establish mont with all tho latest machinery and will substitute stoam for the foot Power now used. Ho estimates that 1f Omaha factories can command the trade that would naturally bolong to them there would be enough work to keep 150 people steadily employed. Oue wholesale firm in Omaha paia out last year for poarl buttons over §20,000, und they bave made u contract with the Omaba factory to give them all this work from now on. The large retal stores will bo glaa to do the same if their lady patrons will only go to the trouble of asking for Omaha buttons. Besides making the ordinary pearl button in common use, the large and fancy cloak buttons 5o stylish now are being turned out sa prod- | in O Nebraska, belioving | | large orders with maha, as well as collar buttons, cuff bot- tons, et. As snowing how manufacturing industries help other lines of buswess, it may e added that the above factory has just placed an order with a local brinting house for 200,000 button cards. “As the cards, when filled, avo put in paper boxes, this necessitates tho placing of the local paper box fuc- torics. All this gives employmont to more working people, puts more money mto circu lation and contributes toward the general improvement of business, It must bo borne ia mind that thore 1s an- other button factory in the city employing somo eight peopie, o that this week over thirty people will 'be employed in Omahw's new industry. Another line of business which has already mado long strides under the fostoring care of home patronuge and which promises to grow into sometniug of great importance to the city is the munufacturing of men’s hats. ‘The business thus far, as was described in a recent article of Tue Bre, has consisted only m the finishing up of hats, the forms or bodies for which are made in the cast Bu- couraged by the awakeaing interest in facto- ries and by the promise of the local hat dealers to buy their output, Itamser & Co. are taking steps to putup a large nat tactory in tho “spring, whicn will necessitate the cmployment — of at least forty peoplo at the commencement of businass. “They havo drawn up plans for the buiidigs, to consist of a main buitding, 125x4) feot, with an ol 50x40, both threo storics in height, Also a brick boiler house, 40x40, with drying room on second floo colov- ing and make sbop, 103x30, aud story in height. While it is esumated that forty poonte can run sucha plant on a paying basis, the num- ber of employes can be increased to 200 with- out any incrause in the plant should the business be suflicient to justify it. ‘They have drawn up articles for a co-opera- tive company so that a large sharo of tho stock may bo hetd by the cmployes. Quite a number of eastorn hat makers have already signified a desiro to take stock in the com- pany iud come to Omaha. This will brinz them the very best class of belp iu the eastern factories, the industrious, steady aud outerprising workmen, who aro anxious to try thoir fortunes in a now and growing coun- ry. The men at tho head of the movement aro practical hat makers and with a littlo en couragoment they will be ablo to bring to Omail another yery important industry that will ada materiully to tho city’s wealth and popuiation. ““Let the home patronge movement o on,” savs the presidentof the Manufacturers and Consimors association, *“and vou will see new industries cowiug into the state from very divection,” gineers, There is hurdly any class of men to whom the public'is more indebted than 10 locomotive engineers says the New York Ledgar.

When an acoei- dent does oceur, it is seldom that a loco- motive engineer is found blameworth, It not infrequently huppens, however, that in a desperate emergency, he sacri- fices his own life to avert destruction from the passongers, whose safoty de- ponds upon his skill and faithfulness, e e No gripping, no nausea, no pain whon De- Wite's Little Barly Risers aro taken.

Progress in th» Socienca of Railroading Strikingly Illustrated, THE NEW YORK CENTRAL SETS THE PACE, A General Q Looked for on skening of Speed Al First-Class Roads—Progress in Locomo- tive Building—Notes. Whatever doubts existed as to the success of the famous fast express on the New York Central have been banished by the test of tfie, Tho train was put on regularly October 26, and ha ince without much effort maintained its speed —fifty-two and one-half miles per hour. The distance from New York to Buffalo, 440 miles, is covered in ecight hours - and fort, minutes. The railrond world imagined that with this tremendous speed the Central had reached its limiv. But it hasn’t. It hias been working for some time pa w gigantic scheme of a fast long-dis run which will eclipse all the world set the railroad people to thinking mighty hard. This scheme is to vun v hour between New York and Chicago, carrying the mails. But few arrangements lack completion, and s 8001 as everything is in readiness tho wain “will * be sent out and sixty minutes later another will leave. Theso arrangements will be completed about January 1, and then a continuous line of Central railroad trains, one hour apart, will con- nect the two great cities of the continent; an unbroken train will connect the sea and the lake. No road but the Central could attempt this feat, for no rond but the Central has the trucks to work upon. The Central has six tracksbetwoen Chi- cagound New York, its own four and the West Shore’s twd, and it ix tracks botween Bulfalo ynd Chicago—the Michi- gan Central, the Lake Shore and the Nickel-Plate—whieh is fast being gotten in readiness for she great rush of trains. Nor is this all. - It is understood that General Passenger Agent George Il Daniels has in vidlj a speedy train which will make the run botween New York and Chicago in less than twenty hours This teain will be i'solid vestibule treain, and will carry qdly personul baggage When Mr. Danidl§ hears murmurs of smash-ups and hgrrors he smiles, just as old George Tompkins of the Erie ised to smile when passengers refused to ride thirty-five miled | an hour, claiming twenty miles was fast enough ** 'thout a man wanted his sdreass in the ditch.” Tho only train’ that approaches the Empire State Express,’ as the fast wrain is called, is the Flying Scotchman, which was at one time scheduled to run the 400 miies between London and Edin- burg in exactly eight hours. Yet the the time of this truin had to be length- ened one-half hqur, it making the 400 miles now in eight and one-half hours. The distance between New York and Buffalo 1s 440 miies, which the new train is scheduled to make in eight hours and forty minutes. Railway men say that if the schedule is maintained the train will be a ver, pensive one, for there is nothit costly in vailway munagement as these trains run at a high speed. Vice Presi- dent Webb, however does not seem to mind the exponse, and he appears to be rather amused at the comments of his railway friends. That the teain is pon- ular has alveady been demonstratod. The success considerable comment in Buogl papers. The Burmingham Mail say Tt seems to be beyond dispute that the great American nation has done an- other best on record. It has shown that there is nothing to prevent a railway train from running a long distance at the rate of a mile a minute. Such possibility has always been admitted by people who know anything at all about ngineering. The is no reason be- vond considecations of personal safety why a train should not travel at the rate of 100 miles an hour, There are ex- presses at the present mument running in England at the the rate of consider- ably over sixty miles un hour, but only of course for limited distances. “There is a general impression on this side of the Atlantic that we have devel- oped a far more rapid rate of railway traveling than has been attained in Awerica, We naturally pride ourselves upon our splendid tracks, which arve in comparably better than the average American track, aod it is ono of our insular boasts that no nation in the world can show such a service of trains ns avo to be found, say between London and Manchester, London and Edinburgh, or even between Liverpool and Manchester, But the Englishman who has not left the confines of his own country must make some allowanco for the progress which other pations are making in the dir tion of rapid locomotion. Nothing strikes the visitor to the United States moro powerfully than the ex- traordinary improvement which the Americun ~ railway system has undergone during the lasi few years. One has only to travel from Now' Yor to Ningara,n distance of about 500 miles, at the rate of more than forty miles an hour,or to take one of their sumptuously furnished expresses to Chicago and cover more than double 500 miles at a sull faster rate of speed, to be put somowhat out of conceit with the lightning-like qualities of our Knglish trair Ne theiess, the Americans have not dis- puted till this moment that tho finest bit of railway traveling in the wide, wide world has been done on un English line *This distinction was achieved by th London & Northwestern in their rac with the Great Northern from London to Edinburgh. In running from London to Crewe, 146 miles, without u stop, in three hours and live minutes,the North- westorn faiely opened the oves of tho A ns as to what could be done in the shape of speed by the best possible engine on the best possible track. But if we are to believe the New York cor- respondent of the Standurd—he is sup- ported in his statement by Dalziel’s news agency—this smart performance from London o Crewe has been rel gutod to that *back seut” which, sooner or later, is the of all best on records in this age, smoke Conu gine. 'he experimental smoke consuming locomotive built by the Chicago & Alton does not differ much in appearance from otners excent in the shape of the smoke stack, which is perforated with hun dreds of small holes, and in beiug lighted at night by electricity. The mechunism is inside, which will veceive the thanks of millions of peoplo if it really does what the inventor, Mr, Cavner, claims, Busides consuming tho smoke, its in- ventor says that the device economizes fuel and reduces the baci pr of the pistons to a minimum. The following description by Mr, Cay will be understood by mechanies and ssure ne engineers “*That portion of the comotive known as the extension front, extending from tho flue sheet 10 the cast divided Into two compurtments tront door, is by & light vertical partition erossing entir ly across the front just forward of the haust pipe, thus confining all the heated gases, exhaust steam, ete., in the com- partment next to the fluo sheet, and having direct communication to the fire b ) change is made in this compartment excopt that the tips of the nozzte of the exhaust pine are taken out. T'he exhaust open- ing isleft full open to the area of opon- ing in the saddle easting, the stack and saddle are taken off, and the stack open- ing increased to twenty inches in dinm- eter. There is placed over the ex- haust and lifting pipe, twelve inches at the bottom and “end, tapsring to fifteen at the top and forty inches long, a sheet iron pipe. This pipe, twenty inches in diameter, sots over that resting on top of the extension front. Over this sets the ordinary dome casting. This casting is perforated with 2,000 seven-sixteenths inch holes oxtending half around the front side of the casting. On the inside of the twenty-inch pipe there is coiled N1fty-two feet of two-inch brass pipe. The forward compartment ot the ex- tension front is used as a receptacle for the mechanism by which the dravght is secured und power furnished to run the dynamo. In this compartment is located ' pressure blower in such position as to admit of freo necess to the flue sheot. The pressure blower is connected by d rect friction to a small sixteen-hand poy or rotary orgine, and is also connected v pipe extending from the front end of the engine back under tho teuck of the locomotive to the ash pan. The ash pan and dumpers, having as- bestos joints and shutting firmly, make the ash pan air tight, The air from the fan, drawn down througn the perfora- tions, is heated to n high temperature by exhaust stean and heated guses. The ult is by this mothod a fire is fanned by a constant blast of pure heat oxygen of seven-ounce peessure, and this v is made hot by the heat that would be otherwise wasted, A portion of this hot air is conducted in pipes from the main air pipe through the ash pan, up through the fuel, and 1s foreed into the flame from the back of the fire box toward the flue sheet. Cireling the fire box door are innumerable small holes orair jets. This hot oxygen uniting with carbon forms a gas, completes the combustion and prevents all smoke, whether the gine is working or shut off, whether there is light or heavy firve, and prevents gases from passing out the fire-box door By means of all this air pipe the fire box is converted into n gas retort, consuming those elements of heat and earbonic oxide gas thut would othor- wise pass off in smo e, " A Monst The Baldwin Locomotive works of Philadelphia has just completed for the freight service of the Erie railway the largest compound locomotive in' the world, The weight of the engine is 135,000 pounds, exclusive of the tender, It has three pairs of driving wheols, sixty-two inches in dinmeter.

A Visit to the O1d Site Recalls a Nun ber of Reminiseonces After an absenco of twenty-five years T ro- coutly paid a visit to the spot whoro the above named land-mark once stood. ©'ho post was abandonod about twenty years ago, and were it not for the few big cottonwood troes still standing avound tho parade ground it would be 1mpossiblo to identify its former site, wire tencos, cocnficlds und groves hav- ing almost obhiterated every traco of w was once an important strategic point on tho plains. Fort Leavenworth, Fort i{earncy, Iort Laramie and Fort Bridger stood for many years as sentinels guarding the great overland mail and emigration route between the Missouri river and Salt Lake. Considoring its tormer prominence una importance I hava ofter: thought the government ought to place & monumen’, to mark thospot in the conter of the parade ground bocause in a few years its very lucation will becoms a matter of con- jecturé aad dispute. T land is now owned by a Mr. W. O. Dungau, an old veteran of the rebeliion, who stopped those balls for tho union, recéiviug therofor the princely pension of &12 a montl.
