Tlio doctors pronounced my case Bright's disease and hopeless. I sulTerod a greatdoal and got no relief until , at the advice of a friend I went to BCC Dr. C. Goo Wo. the Chinese doctor of Omaha.

A llrlcf Kovleiv of Seine of tlio 3Iost Import ant MunuliiuturliiK ImliiHtrlcs of lluiitrluo mill tlio Good * . Mtiiiurncturod. The homo patronage movement Inaugurated by Tin : Br.r. in Omaha has arpused a grout amount of interest among manufacturers in all purls of the stato. This fact Is especially noticeable in Boatrlco , where all the manu facturers , with only ono exception , nro readers of TUB Br.E , and banco familiar with every stop taken In this great move to de velop the > manufacturing resources of the tnto. A Bnu reporter , In company with Secre tary Bradley of the Manufacturers and Con sumers Association of Nnbraska , made a tour ot the Boatrlco factories during the early part of the week , the latter for the purpose of enrolling the manufacturers in the homo patrouago movement , nnd the former to discover wtyit progress had boon made by the manufacturing industries of the city , The majority of the manufacturers in the city that is , all whoso business interests extend beyond the city limits joined the movement aud Mr. Bradley loft there with the applications for ton now mem bers In his pocket. This entitles Be atrice to two directors , and after the applications for membership havo' been accepted by the present board , tbo members In Bcatrico will meet nnd select two of their number to represent them In the manage ment of the association. TUB FliiaiNO IN' IlIUTIilCB. As noted above , tbo manufnturcrs of Bo. atrico are very much Interested in the homo patronage movement , bocnuso they believe with Tin : HER tint it is tbo practical way of developing the manufacturing industries of the state. As one of their number remarked C "It does no coed to locate factories In any city if they are allowed to stand Idle for want of patronage. An idle factory Is a poor advertisement. " Ono of the noticeable results of this move- mo it U a broadening out of the Ideas of busi ness men. Tauy feel that after all the pros perity of every city Is dependent upon the prosperity ot the whole state. There is room in Nebraska for a good many largo cities , but in order that these cities may grow the whole atnta must Increase In wealth and prosperity. It U realized that Omaha Is a largo city , but that her growth must be limited by the growth ot tbo cities around liar to whom she must look for trado. Beatrice is a line city but the development of her resources are * to a great extent dependent upon the prosperity ol other cities that furnish a market for her products , Business men In Boatrlco appear to fullv roallzo this dependence of ono city upon an other aud there is accordingly a very kindly feeling among the manufacturers towards ether cities of tbo state. Said otio manufacturer ; "Wo make goods hero which are not made in Omaha , why should not Omaha buy of us In preference to eastern raunulacturcrsl In the same way , Omaha turns out good * which are not made here , wo should buy ot them. That would bo a fair exchange and tbo money would bo kept in the state. " Said another ; 'Hundreds of thousands ot dollars worth of Roods are bought of jobbers outside of Nebraska which would bo hotter kept within the state , but Nebraska jobbers have no } always shown tbomiolvo * friendly to Nebraska uiado goods , mid until they uo BO they cannot with good grace ask for all Nebraska's trade.1 ' A few d y § ago a factory " Beatrice icld a very largo bill of good to a Karas City Job ber. When this Jobber cornea Into Nebraska Dr. GcoVo has , for the benefit of thobo who live in the country and can not afford to eomo to Oinnh i an.l treat , put up in bottles cipht different medi cines , each ono for a certain discaso. They are as follows : Price per bottle , $1.OO ; six for $8. Send for question blank. Many jealous competitors are offering so cnlloA Chinese remedies as a substi tute for my preparations. Do not bo misled , see that the label reads Dr" C. Goo Wo , and you have my original preparation. to sell goods this fact will bo a great help to him , as Uo can demonstrate to business mon that ho is friendly to Nebraska manufactured goods , and they will feel lll.'J returning tno compliment. This Is a pointer that tha Ne braska jobbers would do well to remember. Some complaint Is beard out In the state that Omaha wholesale grocery houses do not give us much consideration to Nebraska made gooas as thoy' might. However , they do handle u considerable quantity ot seine kinds of Nebraska goods , as canned corn nnd tomatoes and beet sugar. Ono house has clvon orders for a considerable number of Nebraska made cigars. The question is could they not handle morel The manufac ture of starch in Nooraika furni hes thorn a good opportunity to enlarge their line of homo made goods and there are a number of good Nebraska flour mills that would not ob ject to seeing their product go tbrough the bands of Omaha jobbors. 1IEATU1CR FACTORIES. Kvory manufacturer in tha state , and people ple generally , will bo interested In knowing what kind of fauoriosnro located in Boatrlco and something about what they are doing. The Dempster Mill manufacturing com pany is the style of a llrm engaged In the manufacture of tubular well machinery and supplies , wind mills , pumps , etc. They have on their pay roll sixty-live poopla and dis tribute in wages about $33,000 yearly. An additional story will bo placed on their factory in the sphng and their working force will bo Increased by at least ton mon. A grant 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 u consid erable quantity of the goods made by this linn and the pleasant relations existing be tween these two houses uo doubt helps to promote a kinaly reeling between the two cities. The Dempster wind mills arc having quito a large sale and Nebraska farmers , who are moro interested than any ono also in the growth of the manufacturing population of the atato as furnishing a market for their produce , would do well to think twice before going outsldn of the state to buy a mill. The lumber for thcso mills is bought in thorough rough und nil the work of manufacturing U douo hero. Even tbo iron work is made In their foundry. As iron wheels are qulto popular the company will commence their manufacture the coming season nnd will then bo prepared to supply anything wanted In this lino. CVNNBP GOODS. An institution that is doing a good deal for the city and for the farmers is the Beatrice Canning company. They put up corn and tomatoes and last season a few peaches. Some Idea of tha Importance of such a fac tory to a city may 'bo gained from the fact that during the cnnuiiiR season they employ as high as ! ! 00 poopIO. They employed o very man , woman and child fa Boatrlco last season that wanted work. The ousy season comes at a tlmo when the children uro out of school nnd many of them take advantage of the opportunity to earn some money them selves. A great many woman with families leave some of the children at homo to look after the house and work In the factory themselves , and hi this way add materially to the income of the family. The factory paid out in round numbers $15,000 for help during the canning season , They also paid out to tbo farmers tbo same amount for corn and tomatoes. About 100 farmers are ou paged In supplying the fac tory and , so far oa could bo learned , fool that green corn und tomatoes , at factory prices , are protltablo crops to raise. This $30OOJ paid out to tbo farmers and to the laboring people eventually llnds Its way Into the hands of tbo retail trudo and helps to improve every line of business. If the re tail dealers handle Nebraska goods the money will llnds Its way back into the hands of Ne braska manufacturers , and will again bo paid out for Intjor and produce. The output of this factory was sold to Job bers at far east as Chicago and gave good satisfaction. The manager remarked : "It our canned goods are of a quality that en ables them to bo sold la Chicago , where they coma In competition with the best eastern Roods , they certainly ought to re- colvo friendly consideration from Nebraska people. " Canning factories as a rule have not boon a very paving Investment for the stock holders ; In fact previous to last son on n coed many ot thorn were run at a loss , but they are ot 10 great value to the people la tha One of the Most Remarkable Cures Ever Accomplished. When all Hope Had Gone , Dn C. Gee Wo , the Famous Chinese Physician. Saved His Life. "I desire to stnte Tor the benefit of nil 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 1 have over heard of In my lifo , and I am not possessed of language adequate to express my thanks for the great benefit I have reoleved from his medical services. I was reduced to the lowest possible extremity , and was given up for denthas other doctors had exhausted all thelrskill.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 , I sent for Dr. Chang Gee Wo , in the hope that , having heard of his great skill , he might be able to relieve me , at least , for I had no idea of over getting cured after my physician and others had concluded that there was no help for me. The Chinese Doctor was called in , no one thinking of any possible good to come from his visit , but I had confidence in his ability , and concluded to put my casemy 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 I 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 hopeless one , he said my condition required the promptest and most decisive treatment and put about to relieve me in the most energetic manner. He said if 1 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. I soon quieted down and rested until morning. In tne mean time many of my friends had retired for the night little expecting that I would be able to greet them in the morning But they 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 , und 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 bet'.er 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 17O3 Cass street , at Mrs. Camp's boarding house. When I 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 oa-e I continued to improve , and alter two months was able to be about , when I removed to 18OB 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 credit to Dr. C Gee Wo for curing me. I am convinced of his wonderful skill and superior judgment in treating the sick. I have been cured by him , and owe my very life to his skill and efforts at the last moments I take pleasure in recommending Dr. C. Gee Wo to all suffering humanity , and am satisfied that one trial will convince the most skeptical of his wouderful curing abilities and his superior method of tr atment JOHN 1NBODY , 18OB North 19th St. , Om aha , Nek Hours , " 9 a. m. to 9 p , m.f Every Day , 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 citizons. HE\THICI ! STAIlCtl COMl'ANT. The manufacture of starch is p compara tively new industry for the stale and , like the cunning factories , of great Value to the community. The Beatrice company employs thirty-flvo people with a yearly pay roll of $15.0 3. They will consume in the course of the voar 9J.OOO bushels ot corn which improves the local corn market to a very considerable extent. The output of the factory is pronounced by good judges to bo equal to tbo output of tbo best eastern factories. In addition to that it is put up in very neat and attractive pack ages. ages.The starch has boon sold largely west , the sales on the Pacific coast being especially largo. Kansas City jobbers have placed largo orders at tbo factory. A representa tive of the factorv is now in Omaha and it is to ho hoped for "tho rfood credit of the city that some one of the jobbers here will con sent , not only to handle Its starch , but to push its sale. The full benefit of the abundant crops of corn raised in Nebraska will not bo felt until the bnlk of it can bo consumed , near at homo. The shipping of corn to the far cast , and the paying of heavy railroad freights have kept the farmers down. Starch factories furnish one moans of building up homo markets for corn. HE VTllICB FLOUll MIU.S. Black Brothers have a largo flour mill at Beatrice , and ono at IHuo Springs. Tnoy employ about twelve men , and pay out in wages" $3,400 yearly. Their mills furnish a homo market for 200,000 bushels of Nebraska wheat in a year. They sell their output largely in the - surrounding rounding cities and towns. At ono time Omaha consumed considerable of their Hour , but of late they have found moro convenient markets for it , and have abandoned this litold. Tboy are now using Hour sacks of Omaha manufacture. The arguments in favor of encouraging flouring mills within the state are the same ns in the case of canning factories and starch factories ; they employ labor and fur nish a market for farm products. iiBvriticK PIANINO MII.U A. J. Petnoud & Co. are ongncod In the manufacture uf sash , doors , blinds , Inside Hulsh , etc. This firm has to contend against the same disadvantages as the Omaha llrms in tbo same business , that is the custom of so ninny contractors ot buy ing from eastern mills instead of at homo. The prices are the same and the quality the same , but in spite of that fact a good many Boatrlco dollars find their way into the pockets of the mill owners of Wisconsin or some other distant state when they might bo uopt at Homo to the great advantage of the whole stato. Many times this Is the fault of the lumber dealer ) , who , in soiling a contractor n bill of lumber , are anxious to malto it 'as largo as possible and Induce him to include ihollnlsh- ings. They then till the order with stock goods made by some distant manufacturer. This Is the dull sea-son in this line of busi ness and they are only employing eleven men with a weekly pay roll of $115. During the busy season the force is doubled. 1IUATIUCB NOYCLTV WO11KS. F. D.

CAHIlUfii ; FACTOUT. Louis Wehn is the proprietor of the car riage factory and daring the busy season runs quito a large force of mon. Boatrlco , however , like Omaha , is uslnc moro eastern carriuges than homo mudn and for this rea son this branch of manufacturing is much smaller than it might bo if there was a moro extensive homo patronage sentiment among the peoplo. Every ono admits that tno homo made wagons are all right , but for some reason they cannot got out of tbo habit of sanding east. This does cot include all the industries of Boatrlco and is only intended to cover tbo most important nnd such as are taking a special Interest in the homo patronage move ment. PAVISO BRICK. In speaking of Boatrlco ono can hardly refrain - frain from mentioning her splendidly paved streets. The material used is homo made brick nnd on the principal street where they have been aown for throe years scarcely any wear is noticeable. Even thu iron plates over the gutters are of homo manufacture. The streets ore kept reasonably clean and the contrast between them nnd tbo dirty and poorly paved streets of seine ether larger cities is certainly groat. Omaha wont farther away for her paving material and evidently fared ivnrto. A few days ago a Hock Island dining car jumped the track nnd ran across the street on the pavement without leaving hardly n mark on tbo hard surface of the brlcic , though the curb stones on both sides of the strcot were smashed aud the sidewalks broken lute Till !

Ho Suiruruil All tlid Tortures of the Aiulm- goiuillc Hull llrviiuso Another 1'rlM- oner UMJ < | His Xiiino uud Wan On one of tbo last mornings of Police Judge Holsloy's ' administration the usual array of "drunks" was mailo radiant by anew now faco. Its owner was a stranger to the pollco and the jailor's record simply disclosed " closed that wlulo intoxicated ho had" boon found asleep ou the sidewalk. Opposite his name , James King , was the further state ment that ho was n printer by occupation. King filed , into the court room with the common herd of unfortunates and took his place In the dock like one not unaccustomed to the surroundings. Although his hoao. was bald and his black hair vim plentifully min gled with ( 'ray , his darkayo was not dimmed by ago nna through the windows of his soul a bravo and courageous spirit was plainly visi ble. vVhon his natno was called ICing took his place before the Judijo with u soldierly bearing nnd to the charge road to him by the court responded , "Guilty. " Judge Helsloy plainly suw that King was only unfortunate and not a criminal and ho wits discharged after being admonished not to appear there again. IIo promised to hood the warning , thanked the ofllcors for their kindness , gave n parting salute to the court nnd loft the room. As Is usual in such cases the promise win not kept uud King was in the dock next morning confronted by the siunu old charge. Penltenco mantled bis face and ho ambled painfully up to the desk to receive his sen tence. "Judge , I ntn guilty , " ho almost cried out before the charge was read , "but I think you ought to give mo another trial. I will leave your beautiful city within the next hour and agree to never return if you will only glvo mo my lluorty. You can make nothing by incarcerating mo : I have committed no urluie , I have only disgraced myself. My clothes nro in tatters and my restraint hero would only add to my sorrow. " The judge was inexorable , and King , After- being given ton days In which to sober up , with a sorrowful tread took his pUce among the convicted in the dock. King shed tears of genuine sorrow , but his fnco lighted up when ho saw an old friend , a prominent member of tho" Douglas countv bar , conio into the court room. Dissipation , exposure und privation hail so changed his form and features that King was not recognized. Ho asked permission to see his old friend , and tbo favor was granted. Then followed n recognition , a shaking of hands by friends lone parted and a prayer to the court for mercy. The ton-duys1 sentence was sus pended , and King , after again effusively ex pressing his than us , hurried into the btroet. "That man King , " said the attorney to a reporter , "I have not soou for six years , Prior to that tlmo lie was my low partner in an Iowa city , and at ono tlmo for him success In liii profession Boomed assured , IIo In a man with ugrlovapco.and for six years ho ha * striven to have It righted , but I KUOSS jusllco will never bo dona him In this world. There can bo no atonement abort of a heavenly tribunal for the wrongs ho has suffered in this llfn. "Whon war wo declared In 1601 , King was following the pursuits of peace In an eastern Iowa village. Thrilled with patriotism ho enlisted in tha Sixteenth Iowa under tbo redoubtable Colonel Bandars. Only tbo ordinary hardships of war at first foil to his lot , and bo endured them without a murmur.

Kin ? and his unfortunate com rades wcro taken to Andorjonvllle to endure the horrors of a rebel prison. Their suffer ings tliera hnvo often boon told. In those prison pens the unfortunates lived only in the hope that in the near future they would bo paroled. Tboy constantly looked for ward to the tlmo when it should bo announced from the prison walls that they would bo exchanged and allowed to pass into the Union linos. To King nnd eom- r.wos this dav was very slow In coming. D.i.vs ran Into w oaks"nnd weeks lengthened into months nn ! still there were no signs of nn exchange of his regiment. In their half starved anu desperate condition the men forgot their relations to ono another. Discipline wes lost , order and system no longer prevailed nua cliaos was supremo. Quarrels between ofllcurs and men were of frequent occurrence and for so IMP reason tome mo unknown King fell into disgrace. Ills superiors compelled him to do the most menial labor about the prison and ho lost caste even In that horrible placo. "Finally ono morning ashoutwont up from the Sixteenth Iowa quarters and upon In quiry King learned that his regiment woul 1 bo paroled tun following afternoon. All was now hurry and bustle and when the long looked for hour arrived the Sixteenth Iowa in single Die was standing In front of the gate with King at the roar end of the lino. "Tho men wcro counted und the order to 'forward ' march1 was glvon. The head of the column passed through the gate und so King's liberty was in sight. Ju t as bo reached thn opening some deapornto federal soldier , unnoticed by the guard , stopped in front of King , took his plnco In the line , passed out completing the number to bo paroled and the gate was closed with my friend on the inside.

"About this tlmo bis wife died nnd shortly after his only son followed her to tbo grave. These numerous dlfUcultlos al most unbalanced bis mind.

After an absonao ot nearly thir teen months ho returned homo nnd then I learned from him that ho had been in pur suit ot the man who haa taken King's plaoq in the line in the rebel prison. For the lust six yearn King has done nothing but follow this Ignis fatuus , this Will o' the Wisp. Under the the direction of this vagary ho has boon in every stntu In the union , visited England and traveled through Mexico , but the nbjout of bli soaroh Is never overtaken and It now looks as If the wrong perpetrated upon King would never bo rlghtod.
