Their ine of shafting, 138 feet in gth, is flriven by a twenty horse power motor, which puts in motion thirty-five ma- @hines, costing the company over twenty thousand dollars, and all of the most in- tricate construction. As ench machine performs an espec- fal part of the work, shoes may be seen to pass on from one machine to the other, gradually shaping toward com- pletion, until finally laid by pairs into protty cartons, ready to give comfort 2RI I s OF THE NEBRASKA MANUFACTURER'S EXPOSITION, and grace to western foet. It is evident that the overwhelming success, which met the ‘‘Nebraska Manufacturer's and Consumer’s Associa- tion’s” efforts in opening this collosal xhibition of diversified industry, is 1n a me undertaking of the Morse-Coe company, whose exhibit, it may be said, to see it. In order to show clearly Lo visitors the phenomenal progress, in the art of shooe- made during the past thirty- the north end of their exhibit commences with a bench shosmaker of a most ancient type, who by the aid of his hammwer, lap-stone, nwls and thread and almost midnight hours, completes at the end of the week, four pairs of shoes. As the space at the Coliscum would not begin to accommodate the Morse- Coe Shoe Co. in ropresenting every de- partment of their factory, those who wish may visit the factory and there see hundreds of kid, goat und calf skins piled on tables at the cutters’ backs which one by one are spread upon the cutting bourds covered with brassedge patterns skillfully manipulated, the cut- ter’s knife pussing dexterously around the patterns and by this process the piles of skins soon disappear and stacks sure, largely due to the immense ' Shoo | isnlone worthy of a trip from Colorado | | of shoo uppers ali cut out grow high at | hisside all prepared to be shipped to | the Coliseun and pass into the hanls of | the rows of girls at their sewing mu- chines to be seamed Gp by one,the lining i seamed up by another, the lining stitch- ed into the outside by another, and so on from turning the lining and upper !inside out, stitching around the edge and scallops at the marvelous speed of | 1500 stitches a minute, then to the but- tonhole machines where the button- holes are cut and worked by one girl to the number of 8500 button holes a day; again the upper of the shoe makes its journey on to the button sewing ms ichines where buttons are sewed on at the rate of 225 per minute; then passing into the hands of the vampers, who with two-needle machine, [stitching tworows at once] stitch on the vamp, or forepart of the uppers, and render it complete to be put into the hands of the lasters. To this point the upper of the shoe will have passed through over twenty hands. Again tor want of space the sole leath- er cutting is being carried on av their factory, where rolls of leather are opened and side after side dipped into a |large tankof water and put through ponderous steel rollors, thereby giving firmness to the leather, which process has superceded the bench shoemaker’s hammer and lapstons; then on two | splitting machines to give them large tables, by the use of steel dies and a ponderous steam-power hammer, the sides of leather are cut into soles, inner- soles, heel iifts, counters, ete. While the heel lifts pass hands of one who nails them together, to the height the hesl should be, an- other passing the soles through large uni- form thickness, and still another com- pleting the soles by plucing them in a machine over iron plates for knives to travel around and shape to whatever style may be called for, at the same time cutting a channel in the surfaco of the sole to accommodats the scwing | on of thesole when the sole and upper are brought together. Thus the soles, inmersoles, heels and | counters being completed, are shipped | to the Coliseum to meet the uppers in the hands of the lasters, who draw tho upper over the last and tack the same to the innersole, this being done by the rapid handling of pinchers and the small tacks which ths lasters take from their mouths as fast ;as it is possible for him to raise his hand to his lips and stick the gharp pointed tacks into the ' sole of the shoo always manipulating the tacks in his mouth with his tongue to bring them head first to his lips. This done, the laster passes the shoo to a machine in front of him, whers the into the | being in the shoo, the outersole is tacked on and the last drawn out; then pissed to the sowing machine, whero the soles are sewed on with waxed thread at the rate of 600 pairs per day, or if the order for the shoes may so direct, they may instead pass to the standard screw machine, where tho soles are screwed on with brass wire, a coil of wire being placed into the machine, the end of which passing through the throat of the wa- chine isscrewed intothe sole of the shoe. When the serew has passed through the sole and into the innersole, a set of knives on the machine coming togother, cut off the brass serew at the surfacs of the sole and feed the shoe along the ex- act distance for the next screw, at a speed of 100 serews per minute, Tho sole of the shoe having been sewed on or screwed on without tho last hape of it has been somewhat destroyed, and, there- fore, must pass on to a levelling ma- chine, having iron feet and forms, tho same shape as the last, and with heavy pressure will restore to the shoo its or- iginal shape. This done, the racks of shoes pass to the heeling machine; one shoe after an- other to be placed on iron feet; the heel, which proper height, is laid on the shoe in its place, and with one movement of the | chine, which, with its set of rotar, has already been built to the | trendle uset of awls descend through, rapidly withdeawing aguin, o block on tho back of the machine filled with nails is now brought over the heel, the nails drop into the holss made by the awls, and another movement of treadlo the head of the machine again makes the descending stroke, and firmly so- cures the entire heel to the shoo in the time of ono minute to the pair. At this point tho shoes edinto cases, placed into a wagon, which is ys awaiting at the door of the Coli- seum, and despatched to tho factory, corner 11th and Douglas streets, where again wooden lasls put into the shoes, repacked in the cases and Apidly returned to the Coliseum. ro pac! ar As the space allotted at the Ixposi- tion would not begin to accommodate the thousands of pairs of lasts necessary to the quantity of shoos to be made, this change becomes necessary. The cases of shoes having again re- turned to the Coliseum, are placed on racks alongside the heel trimming ma- knives making eleven thousand revolu- tions a minuto, trims or concaves the heels, a ease, 60 pairs, in forty minutes.

" PACKING INTERESTS LARGELY INVOLVED Af the Bonds Are Voted it Means Addi- tionul Business in Many Lines—Iown's Live Stock Should Come This Way. The stock yards management and the puckers of South Omaha are enthusiastic ad- wocates of tho Nebraska Central bond propo- sition. They rogard it as the most important Jocal measuro that the voters of Douglas county have ever considered and one that will, if successful, bo the lever that will raise Omaha to second place as a packing coiter. “There is probably no one in Nobraska who is better acaumnted with the stock interests and the difliculties 10 the matter of rutes and railway facitities that have beon encountered than W. M. Babcock, the manager of the AUnion stock yards. He regards the Nebraska Central proposition as a satis- Tactory solution to the problems with which tho picking industries have bad to contend. “Lam in favor of the proposition,” said Mr. Babeock yesterday, “because I think it 1s for tho benetit of Omaba.

Michael Cudaby of the Cudahy company considored the passage of the bond proposi- tion of vital unportance to the live stock in- terests and every other commercial interest of the city. It would open now flelds for Omaha enterprise and huve a tendency to provide botter railroad facilities aud cheaper rates. ©"You can say anything you want to in favor of the bonds and sign my namo to it,” snid Superintendent Taliaferro of the Omaha Packing compauy. “You can't make it too strong. 17 the voople of Omaha should fail 10 pass theso bonds they wouid neglect tho greatest opportumty that has over been offercd to advance the interests and insure the commercial future of the city.” Chureh Serviees, Methodist Episcopal Church third and N Strects—Sunday school at 0 a.m. Prouching at Il o'clock.

B LIKES THE TICKET. Editor Hill Says Colorado Will Vote for Hurrlson. Ex-Senator N. P. Hill, proprietor of the Denvor Republican, and his managing ed- itor, Willlam Stapleton, who are on their way home from the Minneupolis conveation, were at the Miliard hotel yesterday. Mr. Hillis very much pleased with the repub- lican ticket and believes that President Har- rison is tho strongest man that tho party could have selected. Iu regard to Senator Wolcott's position that Harrison cannot Colorado and the wostern states on account of the president’s views on silver, Mr, Hill said toa BEg rep- resentative: “Our peovle in Colorado have heen inten: tionally misled as to President Harrison's position on the silver question.

The fact is Presideut Harrison has more liberal views on the silver question than any of the men who have been named as candidatos against bim. President Harrison's views on silver are, indeed, very liberal, and I think e will carry Colorado by a majority of from 10,000 to 15,000. “Mr. Blaino has always been a strong anti- silver mun, He never would have signed the bill for an increased purchase of silver from §2,000,000 & monjh to four and one-half million ounc *“The objections of the Colorado senators to President Harrison are based upon the pretenso that ho has stated in advunce that be would veto a froe coinage bill.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE, Plans Which Dealers Are Building—Somo of the Wonderful Facts Connected With the Growth of South Omaha During Eight Years, A review of the roal estate situation dur- ing the past weok would not bring out any important features that could be strictly classed as new. Thero has boen consider- able business aoing, but for the most part limited to the salo of property wauted for improvement or occupation. Whilo this sort of business is of the slow but suro order, and to that extent highly satisfactory, it does not create the life and activity of speculative buying. Buying for improve- ment bas ono great advantage—it takes the property entirely out of the market, thus re- ducing the amount of the offerings, while speculauve buying, usually on_ a larger scale, contemplates the reiisting of the Pproperty for sule. “Tue extent to which home buying is being carried on is much greater than is usually supposed. Asan example, one real estate owner is building six houses in a single ad- dition, all of which have been contraciod for and purchased on the small puyment plan and will be occupied as soon as completed by tho purchasers, ‘Ihis bespeaks good, steady growth for the city and cannot bo viewed as any other thun i most satisfactory indication.
