OMAHA JA 1892—SIXTEEN DAILY 10, CAPITAL BEE: SUNDAY, GIVEN UP TO DIE. One of the Most Remarkable Cures Ever Accomplished.--When all }I—{I'opf.fl-lad Gone, Dr. C. Gee Wo, the Famous Chinese Physician. Saved is Life. ‘I desire to state for the benefit of all who may be afflicted with sickness or disease that Dr C. Gee Wo, the Chinese physician, of Omaha, is possessed of the most wonderful curing abilities I have ever heard of in my life, and [ am not possessed of language adequate to express my thanks for the great benefit 1 have recieved from his medical servic I was reduced to the lowest possible extremity, and was given up for death,as other doctors had exhausted all theirskill,and could do nothing to relieve me. 1 was reduced to that point when death was momentarily expected; in fact friends and relatives had congregated around my bedside to watch the final moments. As a last resort, 1 sent for Dr. Chang Gee Wo, in the hope that, having heard of his great skill, he might bs able to relieve me, at least, for I had no 1dea of ever getting cured after my physician and others had concluded that there was no help for me. The Chinese Doctor was called 1n, no one thinking of any possible good to come from his visit, but I had eonfidence in his ability, and conc!uded to put my ease,my life I might say, in his hands. I knew my condition was hopeless. An abcess had formed on my lung and quick consumption had greatly increased my suffering. I kept declining rapidly, and it was declared that I could not live over night, Dr. Gee Wo arrived late in the evening and after a hasty examination he concluded to try if possible to save my life—and he did, after [ was given up to die. Dr. C. Gee Wo, through his skill and untiring efforts, succeeded where all others had failed. He pronouncsd my case very serious though by no means a hopeiess one, he said my condition required the promptest and most decisive treatment and put about to relieve me in the most energetic manner. Hesaid if [ could survive until morning he could cure me. After giving me warm applications and strengthening restoratives, I soon began to perceive my condition becoming more comfortable and the disease relaxing its death like hold upon me. Isoon quieted down and rested until morning. In the raean time many of my friends had retired for the night little expecting that I would be able to greet them in the morning Butthey were surpris- ed by finding me greatly improved and resting comfortably when they came to my bedside to inquire into my condition. Dr. Gee Wo, my newly formed friend, remained at my bedside all night, and felt greatly encouraged by the marked improvement I had made since his arrival, He said I was better and would live, which surprised even my closest friends. After I got better and in a condition to talk and consult with my family, the doctor advised me to come to Omaha, as, on account of his many pa- tients in Omaha, he could not remain any longer at my home, but volunteered to send a trained nurse to take care of me until I was able to make the trip to Omaha, and after three weeks 1 was able to come to Omaha, and took rooms at 1703 Cass street, at Mrs. Camp’s boarding house. When 1 left home my neighbors concluded I could not live until I reached Omaha, but I arrived all right with- out serious injury. My friends in Omaha said 1 could not recover, but under the doctor’s personal cave I continued to 1improve, and alter two months was able to be about, when I removed to 1808 N, 19th street, where I at present reside, and will give any information desired. The doctor promised to cure me, and has fulfilled his promise. I was cured and freely and cheerfully give the creditto Dr. C. Gee Wo for curing me. Iam convinced of his wonderful skill and superior judgment in treating Lhé sick. I have been cured by him, and owe my very life to his skill and efforts atthe last moments. I take pleasure in recommending Dr. C. Gee Wo to all suffering humanity, and am satisfied that one tl-}nl wil[ convince the most skeptical of his wouderful curing abilities and his superior method of trzatment.

Local Manufacturers Deeply Interested in the New Movement, MANUFACTURERS' ASSOCIATION GROWING A Brief Review of Some of the Most Import- ant Manufacturing Industries of Beatrico and the Goods Manufactured, The home patronage movement inaugurated by Tue Bee in Omsha bas arpused a great amount of interest among manufacturers in all purts of the stato. This fact is especially noticeable in Boatrice, where all the manu- facturers, with only oue exception, arc readers of Tur Beg, and hence familiar with every step taken in this great move to de- velop the manufacturing resources of the state, A Bee reporter, in company with Secre- tary Bradloy of the Manufacturers and Con- sumers Association of Nabraska, made a tour of the Beatrice factories during the early part of the week, the latter for the purpose of enrolling the manufacturers in the home patronago movoment, and the former to discover what progress had beon made by the manufacturing ndustries of the city, The majority of the manufacturers in the city—that is, all whose business interosts extend beyond the city limits—joined the movement and Mr, Bradley left there with the applications for ten new mem- be in his pocket. This entitles Be- atrico to two dlfectors, and after the applications for membership have been acceptcd by the present board, the members in Beatrico will meet and soloct two of their pumber to represeat them in the manage- ment of the association. THE FEELING IN DEATRICE, As noted above, the manufasturers of Be atrice ave very much interested in the home patrorage movement, because they beliove with Tuk BEE that it 1s the practical way of deveoloping the manufacturing industries of the state, As one of thelr number remarked ¢ “t doos no ood to locate factories in any oty it they are allowed to stand idle for want of paironage. An ldle factory is a poor advertisoment." One of the noticeable results of this move me it is a broadening out of the ideas of busi- ness men. They feol that after all tho pros- perity of every city is dependent upon the rosperity ot the whole state. There s room n Nebraska for a good many large cities, but in order that these cities may grow the whole state must increase iv wealth and prosperity, It is reahized that Omaba is a large city, but that ber growth must be limited by the growth o the citios around her to whom she must look for trade. Beatrice 1s a fine city but the development of her resources are to a grout oxtent dopendent. upon the prospority of other cities that furnish a market for her products. Business men in Beatrice appear to fully realizo this dependence of oue city uvon an- othor and there 1s accordingly & very kindly feeling among the manufacturers towards other cities of the state. ‘Said one manufacturer: “We mako goods bere which are not made in Omaha, why should not Omaha buy of us in preference to eastern munufacturers! In the same way, Omaha turns out goods which are not made bere, we should buy of them. That would ba a falr exohange and the money would be kept in the state.” Said another; *‘Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of goods are bought of jobbers outside of Nebraska which would be better kopt within tho state, but Nebraska jobbers have not always shown themselves friendly to Nebraska made goods, d until they do 80 they canuot with good grace ask for all Nebraska's trade.” A fow days ago a factory in Beatrice sold very large bill of good 16 & Kansas Oity job- bor, When this jobber comes lato Nebraske 1o sell goods this fact will be a great help to him, as he can demonstrate to business men that he is friendly to Nebraska manufactured goods, and they will feel like returning the compliment. This is a pointer that the Ne- braska jobbers would do well to remember. Some complaint is heard out in the state that Omaha wholesale grocery houses do not give us wmuch consideration to Nebraska made goods as they might. However, they do handle a cousiderable quantity of some kinds of Nebraska goods, as canned corn and tomatoes and beet sugar. One house has given orders for a consicerable number of Nobraska made cigars. The question is could they not handle more? The manufac- ture of starch in Neoraska furnishes them a good opportunity to enlarge their line of home made goods and there are a number of good Nebraska flour mills that would not ob- jeet to seeing their product go through the hands of Omaba jobbers. BEATRICE FACTORIES. fvery manufacturer in the state, and peo- plo generally, will be interested in knowing what kind of fac:ories are located 1n Beatrico and something about what they are doing. The Dempster Mill manufacturing com- pany is the style of a firm engaged in the muuufacture of tubular well machinery and supplies, wind mills, pumps, ete. They have on their pay roll sixty-five people and dis- ribute 1n wages about $33,000 yearly. An additional story will be placed on their factory in the spring and their working force will ba increased by at loast ten men. A greav demand has sprung up for their well machinery, especially in California, Texas, Now Mexico and other southwestern territories, where artesian wells are wanted. An Omaha house has disposed of a consid- erable quantity of the goods made by th firm and the pleasaut relations existing be- tween these two houses no doubt helps to promote a kindly feeling between the two cities, The Dempster wind mills are havinz quito a largo sale and Nebraska farmers, who uro more 1uterested than any ono else in the growth of the manufacturing population of the state as furnishing a market for their produce, would do well Lo tnink twice before zoing outsido of the state to buy a mill, T'he lumber for these milis is bought in tho rough and all the work of manufacturing is douo here, en the iron work1s made in their foundry. As iron wheels ure quite popular the company will commence their manufacture the coming season and will then be prepared to supply anything wanted in this line, CANNED GOODS, An institution that is doiog a good deal for the city and for the farmers is the Beatrice Canning company. They put up corn and tomatoes and ast season a fow peaches. Sowe idea of the importance of such & fac- tory to a city way be gained from the fact that during the mm*lu): season they employ as high as 300 peop®. They employed every man, woman and child {n Beatrico last season that wanted work. The busy season comes ata time when the children are out of school and many of them take advantage of the opportunity 1o earn some money them- selves. A great many womsn with families leave some of the children at home to look after the bouse aud workin the faotory themselves, and iu this way add materially to the income of the faily. The factory paid outin round numbers 5,000 for belp during the canning season. hoy also paid out to the farmers the same amount for corn and tomatoes. About 100 farmers avo engaged in lurplylnu the fac- tory and, 5o far as could be learned, feel thav gréen cora and tomatoss, at factory prices, are profitable crops to raise. This §30,000 paid out to the farmers and to the laboring people eventually finds its way into the hands of the retail trade and helps to improve every line of business. Lf the re- twil dealers bandle Nobraska goods the money will finds its way back into the hands of Ne- brasks manufacturers, and will again be paid out for lakor and produc ‘The output of this factory was sold to job- bers as far oast as Chicago and gave good satisfaction. The manager remarked: *“If our canned goods ars of a ctmuy that en ables them to be sold in Chicago, where they come in compelition with the best eastern goods, they certalnly ought to re- oeive friendly oconsideration from Nebraska people.’” Canning factories ss a rule have not been @ very paving investment for the stock- holders; in fact, previous to last season & good maoy of them were run s los but they @ere of value to the people In great the way of furnishing a market for farm pro- duce and employment for labor that they ought to receive the cordial support of all public spirited citizens. BEATRICE STARCH COMPANY. The manufacture of starch is » compara- tively new industry for the state aud, like the canning factories, of great value to the community. ‘I'he Beatrice company employs thirty-five people with a yearly pay rollof $15.000. They will consume iu the course of the year 90,000 bushels of corn which improves the local corn market to a very considerable extent. | The output of the factory is pronounced by good judges to be equal to the output of the best eastern factories. Iu addition to that it 18 put up in very neat and attractive pack- ages. The starch has been sold largely west, the sales on the Pacific coast being especially large. Kunsas City Jjobbors have placed large orders at the factory. ‘A representa- tive of the factory is now in Omaha and it is to he hoped for the good oredit of the city that some one of the jobbers here will con- sent, not ouly to hanale its starch, but to push its sale, The full benefit of the abundant crops of corn raised in Nebraska will not be felt fintil the bnlk of it can be consumed near at home. Theshipping of corn to the far cast, and the paying of heavy railroad freights have kept the farmors down. Starch factories furnish one means of building up home markets for corn. BEATRICE FLOUR MILLS, Black Brothers have a large flour mill at Beatrice, and one at Blue Springs. Tney employ about twelve men, and pay out in wages $3,400 yearly. Their mills furnish a home market for 200,000 bushoals of Nebraska wheat in a year, They sell thor output largely i the “sur- rounding civies and towns, At one time Omaha consumed considerable of their flour, but of late they have found more convenient markets for it, and have abandoned this flield. They are now using flour sacks of Omaha manufacture, Tho arguments in favor of encouraging flouring mills within the state are the same as in the case of canning factories and starch factories; they employ labor and fur- nish a market for farm products. BEATRICE PLAN . A. J. Petnoud & Co. are engazed in the manufacture of sash, doors, blinds, inside finish, ete. This firm has to contend against tho same disadvantages as the Omaha firms in the same business, tkat is the custom of so many contractors of buy- ing from oastern mills instead of at home. The prices are the same and the quality the same, but in spite of that fact a good mauy Beatrice dollars find their way 10to the pockets of the mill owners of Wisconsia or some other distant state when they might be kept at home to the great advantage of tho whole state. Many times this is the fault of the lumber dealers, who, in selling a contractor a bill of lumber, are anxious to make it as large as possible and induce bim to include the finish- ings. They then fill the order with stock goods made by some distant manufacturer, This is the dull season 1n this line of busi- ness and tbey are only employing eleven men with a weekly pay roll of 115, During the busy season the force is doubled. BEATRICE NOVELTY WORKS, F. D. Kees manufactures a line of special- ties such as patent wire flowor stands, calf weaners, ote. His goods bave taken well and he has bad a wide sale for them. An Omaha jobber bas disposed of no small quan- tity of his goods for him, He holps Beatrice by employlng six men with a yearly pay roll of &,000. Mr. Kees takes no small amount of interest in the home patrousge movement. MINT CIGAR FACTORY. A. T, Lewis employs eight people in his cigur factory and has & good trade extending to thoe nelghboring cities. His pay roll runs as high as $,200 in a year, Beatrice smokers,” like those of Omaha, have many of them been inclined to buy east- ern goods in preference to those of Nebraska manufacture, not because they liked them any better, but as a matter of habit or indif- ference. When they came to be induced to lay aside all preforence and try the home made article they fiud them tully as good if not better than those of eastern make, It is estimated that enough oigars are smoked in Beatrice to keep thirty men con- stantly employed. Mouey speat for foreign cigars goes to NG MIL build up the industries of some distant city and cheats. Nebraska out of what properly belongs to her BLANK BOOKS. Cogswell & Springer are doing a joo printing business and are manufacturers of blank vooks, ete. They employ nine people and distribute iu wages about §3,500 vearly. So far as could be learned but little job work for Beatrice is done outside of the state. GRANITE AND MARILE WORK. Charles Neidhart, manufactirer of all kinds of grauite and marble work, has a place in Beatrice and another atTecumseh. His books show that eight men arc em- ployed and $4,740 paid out in wages in the course of the vear, He finds a market for his work in the places where they are made aad in the surrounding towns. CARRIAGE FACTORY. TLouis Wehn is the proprietor of the car- riage factory and daring the busy season runs quite a large force of men. Beutrice, however, like Omaha, is using more eastern carriages than home made and for this rea- son this braach of manufacturing is much smaller than it might be if there was a more oxtensive home patronage sentiment among the people. Every one admits that tne home made wagons are all righy, but for some reason they cannot get out of the habit of sending east. This does tot include all the industries of Beatrico and 1s ouly intended to cover the most important and such as are taking a special interest in the home patronage move- ment. PAVING BRICK. In speaking of Beatrice one can hardly re- frain from montioning her splendidly paved streets. Tho material used is home made brick and on tho principal stroet where they have been down for three years scarcely any wear is noticeable. Even tho iron plates over the gutters are of home mahufacture. The streets are kept reasonably clean ana the contrast between them aud the dirty and poorly paved stroots of some other larger cities 13 cortawly groat. Omana went farther away for her paving material and evidently fared worse. A fow days ago a Rock Islana dining car jumped the track and ran across the street on the pavement without leaving haraly a mark on the hard surface of the brick, though the curb stones on both sides of the street were smashed aud the sidewalks broken iuto splinters. ———— THE TOILERS.

MURDER HIS ONE OBJECT IN THIS LIFE. He Suffered All the Tortures of the Ander- sonville Hell Anoth oner U ame and Was nged, On one of tbe last mornings of Folice Judge Holslay's administration the usual arcray of “drunks” was made radiant by a new faco. Its owner wasa stranger to the volice and the jailer's rocord simply dis- closed that while intoxicated ho had been found asleop on the sidewalk. Opposite his name, James King, was the further state- ment that he was & priater by cccupation. King filed into the court room with the common herd of unfortunates and took his place in the dock like one not unaccustomed to tho surroundings. Although his heaa was pald and his black hair was plentifully min- gled with gray, his dark eye was not dimmed by age ana through the windows of kus soul a brave and courageous spirit was plainly visi- ble. When his name was called King took his place before the judge with u soldierly bearing and to the charge read to him by tho court responded, “Guilty.” Judge Helsley plainly suw that King was only unfortunate and not a criminal and he was dischary after being admonished not to appour there again. He promised to heed the warning, thanked the oficers for their kindness, gave a parting salute tothe court and left’ the room. As is usual in such cases tho promise was not kept and King was 1n the dock next morning confronted by the same old charge, Ponitenco mantled his face and he ambled painfully up to the desk to receive his sen- tence, “Judge, I amn guilty,” he almost cried out before tho charge was read, “*but I think you ought to give me anotuer trial. 1 will loave your beautiful city within the next hour aud agree to never return if you will only give me my liverty, You can make nothiug by incarcersting me; I have committed no crime, 1 have only disgraced mysolf. My clothes are in tatters and my restraint here would only add to my sorrow.” The judge was inexorable, and King, after being given ten days in which to sober up, with & sorrowful tréad took his place amoug the convicted In the dock. King shed tears of genuine sorrow, but his faco lighted up when he ' saw _an old frionda, a prominent member of thé Douglas county bar, come into the court room. Dissipation, exposure and privation had so changed his form and features that King was not recognized. Heasked permission tosee his old friend, and the favor was graated, Then followed a recognition, a shaking of hauds by friends long parted and a prayer to the court for mercy. The ton-duys’ sentence was sus- pended, and King, after again effusively ex- pressing his thanks, hurried into the strect, “That man King," said the attorney to a reportor, I have not seeu for six years, Prior to that time he was my law partner in an Iowa city, and at one time for him success in s profession seemed assured. Ho is a man with 8 grievance,and for six yoars ho has striven to have it righted, but I guvss justica will never be done him in this world. “There can be no atonement short of a heavenly tribunal for the wrougs he has suffered in this life, “When war was declared in 1861, King was following the pursuits of peace in an eastorn Towa village. ~ Thrilled with patriotism he enlisted in the Sixteenth lowa under thé redoubtable Colonel Sanders. Only the ordinary hardships of war at first fell to his lot, and he endured them without & murmur, Toward the close of 1864 bis regiment w ordered to the front to take part i the wew- orable siege of Atauta. “Unfortunately for King and his comrades, the day the gallant McPherson was killed, » strong detachment of confederste cavalry, on a foraging expedition,surrounded the Sixteenth lowa and its surrender soon followed. King and his unfortunate com- rades were taken to Andorsonville to_enduro the horrors of a rebol prison, Their suffer- ings thero havo ofton boen told. In those prison pens the unfortunates lived only in tho hopo that in the near future they would be paroled. They constsntly looked for- ward to tho timo when 1t should bo announced from the prison walls that thoy would bo exchanged and allowed to pass 1nio the Union lines. To King and com rages this day was very slow in coming. Days ran into wesks and weeks lengthened 110 months and still there wero 10 signs of an exchange of his regiment. In their half stavved and desperato condition the men foryot their relations to one another. Discipliue was lost, order and systom uo longer prevailed aba chaos was supreme, Quarrels between officers and men were of frequent occurrenco and for some reason to mo unknown King feil into disgraco. His superiors compelled him to do the most menial labor about the prison and ne lost caste even in that horrible place. “Finally one morcing ashout went up from the Sixtoanth Towa quarters and upon in- quiry King learned that his reziment woul i be paroled the following afternoon. All was now hurry and bustle and when' the long looked for hour arrived the Sixteenth Iowa in single filo was standing in front of the gate with King at tho rear end of the line, ““The men were counted und the order to ‘forward march’ was given. Tho head of the column passed through the gate and 80 King’s liberty was in sight. Juw as he roactied tha opening some dosperato fedoral soldier, unnoticed by the guard, stepped in front of King, took his placa in tho line, passed out completing the number to be paroled and the gate wus closed with my riend on the insido. By reason of this mis- fortuno King was kept in prison until the close of tho war, *“I'his 15 the griavance of which 1 made mon- tion. His great object in lito was to ascor- tain the name of the man who so unfairly de- prived bim of bis livorty. Upoa his roturn he entered a law ofice and was adinitted to the bar. He soon after married an ostimable lady and many prophecied for him a glorious future, In time ho bocume my partuor and above his love for his family and bis desire for success, [could seethat ho had but one real motive in life, and that was to shed tho blood of tho man Wwho had defrauded him at Andersonville. Drink, t0o, complicated mat- ters for him. He often lost control of his reason through liquor and nis mind was slowly but surely being weakenod through tho oxcessive use of stimulants. “About this timo his wife died and shortly after his only son followed her to tho grave.
