J. Ashley of Colorade from Mary Ashley of California, ‘was a forgery. Ashley, a veteran, disappeared and hi wife, later on, obtained a widow's pension on supposed proofs of her husband's death. Subgequently the pension department lo- cated Ashley living with another woman, to whom he claimed to be married, pro- ducing a decree of divorce from the Laporte county circult court as proof. The pension of the widow was stopped and she protested, claiming to have no knowledge of the divorce.

Vision of Marvelous Changes. “Omaha was fortunate,” said Dr. Miller, n having at the very beginning of its existence & number of men who had & high conception of the true foundations of a prosperous and well-governed common- wealth. They seemed to have a vision of the marvelous changes the future would bring about and they had the principles of high persomal charaoter and sound moral coupled with splendid energy and deter- mination, to hold them steady in the many exclting periods attending the building up of Omaha from & few dugout residences to the time when rivalries were overcome, and Omaha began her latter-day prosperous It was the work of these men who made the Omaha of today possible, and, in- deed, they had much to do with the de- velopment of the state at large, mot only in politics and commerce, but in the estab- lishment of public schools and churches. “But the men were able to take care of themselves.

The Bowen-Merrill Compeany, [ijishers, Above Books BIG FACTORY FOR THIS CITY Omaba Practioally Secures Location of Leather Manufacturing Plant. ONLY A QUESTION OF PAYING FOR SITE New Plant W Occupy Five Big Bulldings and Employ About Two Hundred People at the Beginning. The tannery, glove factory and wool- pulling establishment of Wil now situated at Johnstown, N. Y. ploying 176 hands, wil be moved to Omaha within the present year, provided a fund of $16,000 for the purchase of a site can be raised by subscription. Mr. Topp, who has been in the city for some days, has signified his readiness to make the move i a free site s furnished for his factory in Omaha, and a committee of the Commercial elub has taken up the task of raising the neces- sary money. For some time Mr. Topp has realized that the successtul continuation of his business could be best assured by a removal to the west, the territory from which he has for years drawn the raw material used in the products of his factory. It has been his custom to make frequent trips to western cities for the purpose of purchasing raw material, and on a recent visit to 8t. Joseph he Intimated to business, men his contemplation of the west place for his manufacturing plant. 8t Joseph men seized the opportunity at oncs and offered Mr. Topp a free site and a cash bonus if he would locate in their city. The manufacturer also received a liberal propo- sition for the location of his plant at To- peka, Kan. Comes to Omaha. While considering the St. Joseph and To- peka propositions, Mr. Topp came to Omaha for the purpose of buying pelts from the packers, and to some of them he suggested. his probable removal to some western city. The matter was immediately brought to the attention of the Commercial club and a committee of that organization lost no time in taking Mr. Topp into its confidence. The advantages of Omaha as a place for the manufacture of leather goods were quickly and distinctly pointed out to the easterner. It was shown that Omaha was not only a primary market for hides and pelts, but that more jobbers in leather goods could be veached from this point within a day's ride than from any other city. Being convinced that Omaha was the best place in the west for the location of his factory, Mr. Topp told the local committs that he would not ask a cash bonus as a consideration for his removal to this point, but, In view of the offers that had been made to him by St. Joseph and Topeka, he thought this city ought to furnish a site free of cost to him. In this the Omaha men agreed with him and at a meeting of the Commercial club executive committee on Thursday it was decided to undertake the task of ralsing by subscription a fund suffi- clent to purchase a suitable site for thé buildings proposed to be erected by Mr. After looking about the city, Mr. Topp selected a tract of two acres just south of the Metz brewery as a suitable location. ‘This property belongs to P. E. Iler and his price for it is understood to be $15,000. Mr. Iler has already subscribed $1,000 for the purchase of the site for the new factory and the subscription holds good even if Mr. Topp should finally decide not to take the Iler land. Mr. Topp says that as soon the site 1s furnished he will begin work upon the bulldings and will first open the tanmery, removing the wool-pulling business later and finally starting the manufacture of gloves, as he does not desire to abandom the Johmstown plant until the Omaha plant is completely equipped for work. In addition to making gioves he will prepare hides for the manufacture of fur garments and this branch of the trade will be developed as rapidly as possible. The experienced tan- ners and glove makers now n the employ of the houst in New York will be brought to Omaha, but employment will be given to about 160 men and women of the city as soon as the business is well under way.
