An Early Flower Grower.
A. Donahue, tha pioneer florist of Omaha.
now located at No. M25 North Twenty
fourth atreet, engaged In the gardening
business m Omaha In 186a. This ha con
tinued up to 187. when he established
his floral business and greenhouses at
th corner of Sixteenth and Douglas
Streets, where the, Boston store now
standk. "I sold this property In 1880," he
said, "and removed to my present loca
tion. There were one or two other florists
hera when I first went In tha business.
but they have long since been gathered to
their fathers. My business has kept pace
with the city's growth, and I still adhere
aa I did thirty-four yeara and more ego,
to tha belief that Omaha is to be one of
the greatest cities of the wet."
The growth of the Bennett company
Store from a small grocery, established at
113-115 North Fifteenth street, during 1878,
to . th present magnificent department
atora at Sixteenth and Harney streets, has
been the result of enterprise, closely Iden
tided with the steady expansion of the
city. The little store on Fifteenth was en
larged until It soon outgrew tha business.
so a three-story structure was obtained
nearby on Capitol avenpe. Thla place soon
waa enlarged with an annex In which to
place the increasing stock. It waa while
In tha Capitol avenue location that the
Bennett company conceived the depart
ment store Idea and carried It to a sue-
cessful Issue. In March, 1902, It opened Its
present large establishment, which Is on
of the largest department atores and t-
tall merchandise concerns west of Chicago.
From a few clerks and ona wagon, the
business has been built up until tod.ty it
requires 660 persons, twenty-five delivery
wagons and sixty horses to accommodate
the trade.
T. J. Beard of the painting and wall paper
rm of T. J. Beard at Bro., at No. 1410
Douglas street, came to Omaha in 1866, and
in 1899 founded his present business estab
lishment, locating first at the corner of
Tenth nnd Farnam. "I had the greatest
faith In Omnha and Its geographical loca
tion. Our business has continued uninter
ruptedly and successfully since Its first
establish men1. I well remember the days
of Omaha's muddy streets and Ita fine
paved condition of these modern days Is a
great contrast with Its boyhood days."

Reliable 'Wagon Makers.
Tha carriage and wagon making firm of
P. J. Karbach & Sons was originally es
tablished by P. J. Karbach in 1864 on Fif
teenth street between Farnam and Douglas
streets, it remained there two years and
then removed to Fifteenth between Farnam
and Harney. In 1894 Mr Karbach took his
three aona Into partnership with him, the

tha surviving sons Arthur P. and Oeorgo
W. The establishment wna moved subse
quently to No. 1313 Howard street, and in
1899 to Its present location at Thirteenth
and Howard streets.
Among the oldest drug firms of the city
is that of Kuhn Co.. at tha corner of
Fifteenth and Douglas streets, where it has
been located since 1879. N. A. Kuhn. senior
member of the firm, says: "I concluded to
locate In Omaha after visiting twenty-six
states of the west after leaving my old
home In Salem, O. I preferred Omaha over
Kansaa City and other western towns. I
bought this establishment of C. H. Roberts,
who waa tha suocessor to Allen & Jensen,
tha founders of the business, and of which
firm Dr. H. P. Jensen is atlll a practicing
physician of Omaha. Since occupying this
location in 1879 wa have seen Omaha grow
from a straggling, struggling city of 26,000
to be ona of tha great metropolitan cities
of the country. I have never regretted lo
cating In Omaha, and -believe it haa even a
greater future before It."
Joseph Bck ma n is to be counted a pio
neer cigar manufacturer and dealer oi
Omaha, having first engaged In business
her In 1876. His first location waa at Thir
teenth and Farnam. He remained thero

tha corner of Sixteenth and Howard streets
and three yeara later located on Farnam
street between Sixteenth and Seventeenth
streets, and has sine a remained on that
block, being now located at. 1615 Farnam.
Mf. Beokman Bays: "Oh, yes, I believe
firmly In Omaha and If the -people will stay
by me for another twenty-five years I will
stay by them. I am a great believer In
patronising horn Industry."
olid In Real Estate.
Th Byron Re4 company, real estate
dealers, abstracters, etc., was founded In
1857 by Byroa Reed. His firs, office was
in tha old Pioneer block, but he removed
lo the present location on Fourteenth
street between Farnafn and Douglaa In
1566. In 1887 the firm of tha Byron Reed
company waa incorporated, Abraham I
Reed, an only son, becoming a member of
the corporation. Byron Reed died In 1891,
and the business haa sine been continued
with Abraham t Reed aa president. The
company does a general real eatato, rental,
abstract and loan business, and is ona of
th most substantial firms of its kind In
tha west.
Oeorgo P. Bemls, tha real estate man,
la one of Omaha's most widely known
pioneers, and .still is at hla desk during
business hours at hla office in th Paxton
building. He waa born In 1838 of dis
tinguished New England parents. In 1861
he Joined his cousin, George Francis Train,
In England, aa aecretary and took charge
of his street railway Interests. In 1861
Mr. Bemls was closely Identified with Mr.
Train's connection with th Union Paoiflo
railway, and aa an outgrowth of which In
1868 he became largely interested In Omaha
real estate, and his transactions still con
tinue. He presented Bemla park to th
city In 188.' He waa elected mayor In 1891
and 1898.
Tha Festner Printing company at 1901 and
1811 Howard atreet ia tha pioneer printing
housa of Omaha. Of Its history Its presi
dent, Mr. Paul Qetschman, says: "Tha
establishment waa Instituted by F, C.
fVatner, who cam to Omaha In U6S or
IStW. In 1871 or 1871 ha added a Job printing
plant to hla bindery, which waa tha first
exclusive Job printing housa In Omaha. Ua
first equipment waa a single Gordon Jobber,
with a amall quantity of printing material.
Th establishment haa grown with Omaha,
and w think It la now one of tha finest
apd most modern printing concerns in tha
west. Wa own our own building, having
moved In her In 1803, The present officers
of th concern are myself aa president and
Mrs. Qetschman as secretary and treasurer,
Our old sample books hera furnish an
unlqu Index of th growth of th city,
Many of th old firms have long sine gone
out of business and others from very small
beginnings hav grown Into great estab
lishments known throughout th continent,1
A continuance of high water at Kansaa
City haa caused packers to take precautions
this year which they did not a year ago.
Now livestock Is being bought on the Kan
sas City market and shipped to South
Omaha for slaughter. Testerday packers
received several large shipments of stock
and the report was given out at the yards
here that more were to follow. Not only
will cattle be Bent to this market, but sheep
and hogs aa well.
Naturally the increase in shipment' will
call for more men at the packing houses
here. Live stock dealers look forward to
quit an Increase In business at the yards
and packing houses while the high water
at Kansas City continues.
No definite information regarding the
intention of the packers could be obtained
last evening, but it is known that atock
la to be diverted from the Kansaa City mar
ket to Omaha until conditions Improve on
th Kaw.
Last year when tha high waters came
tha coolers In tha packing houses were
filled with dressed meats and the loss wss
enormous. Representatives of th packers
hera assert that when the danger of flood
was first noticed enormous quantities of
dressed meats were shipped out of Kansaa
City to Chicago and to points In th east.
This was done to prevent loss.
Now that the high waters continue th
packers say they will divert what stock
they can to this market for slaughter. Gen
eral Manager Kenyon of the Stock Yards
company Is prepared to handle heavy re
ceipts, as he has a large force working and
his motive power department is In excel
lent shape.
Will Not Move Boxes.
Chairman Masson of the Fire and Police
board is authority for th statement that
the patrol box at Twenty-fourth and A
streets will not be moved. Policemen com
' plained about the long distance to travel
after the cars stopped at night. After In
vestigating, Mr. Masson said: "I do not
think the board should move the box from
Twenty-fourth and A streets, as the people
in that section of the city certainly are
entitled to the presence of an officer once
an hour." In connection with the talk of
moving the box from the end of the car
line In Albright to a point near Jefferson
street, Mr. Masson declared this would not
be done, either. Before leaving the city
yesterday Chairman Masson said patrol
men would be expected to obey lnstruo
tlons in connection with the pulling of
boxes or else be suspended pending in
vestigation.
Business Men's Clnb.
For some weeks the business men of
the city have been conferring with a view
to ' organizing a live club to look after
home Industries. Such an organization
now appeara to be. a reality, as W. W,
Fisher has been selected chairman and C,
M. Schneider secretary. A meeting of the
business men Interested will be held
Thursday evening of this week for the
purpose of perfecting the organization and
talking over matters pertaining to the in
terests of the members. The object of the
club is to try to Induce people to trade
in South Omaha Instead of going elsewhere,
Rains Delay Gradlnar.
. About month ago Dan Hahnon began
grading for additional tracks at the Stock
Yards round house at C street. Tha wet
weather haa delayed the work to such an
oxtent that the grading is scarcely half
completed. F. L. Corwln, superintendent
of the Stock Tarda Railroad company,
said yesterday that with about ten days
of good weather the grading could be fin
ished. The company Is anxious to get tha
new tracks laid so aa to be In shape to
handle the big runs of stock expected a
little later on. Material for the new tracks
has arrived and men are at hand to lay tha
steel Just aa Boon aa the grading la fin
ished. Short Change Men.
Two well dressed, smooth appearing
young men mode a call on several mer
chants yesterday atfernoon and tried to
work the "short, change" trick. Stores
where women were employed aa cashiers
were tried. It was th same old plan of
making a small purchase and presenting a,
bill of large denomination and then en
deavoring 10 confuse the cashier. Only
two cases have been reported where th
sharpers succeeded in getting away with
tha additional change given through error.
Conference This Week.
Soma time this week the representatives
of tha Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen, Association of North
America will take up the matter of wage
acales with the packers. Meetings are to
be arranged for m Chicago and negotia
tions will be carried on there. Tha uni
versal scale which waa adopted at the
amalgamated association convention held
in Cincinnati In May will be presented to
the packers. Stephen Vail, second vice
president of the association, v who maintains

sent for. It la thought there will be little
if any trouble in putting in force the uni
versal seal adopted at the convention.

Tha library fund atlll remains Intact, but
will soon be drawn upon. There Is almost

JUDGE WAKELEY'S KEEN WIT
Excellent Example of the Humor of
th Patriarch of the Douglas
County Bar,
Few if any of the pioneers In the prac
tice of law in Nebraska have come to the
evening of their lives more universally
respected and filled with honors of an
energetlo and upright career than has
Judge Eleaser Wakoley, whp, in spite of
tho fact that his hair is white with the
snows of many, winters, still maintains
his office In one of the big downtown build
ings and goes to It every day as he ha.-sV
tor nrty years. His mind is as clear and
hla wit Is as keen aa It waa when he was
one of the more notable figures at the
Douglas county bar, and .upon the district
bench fifteen years ago. 'Jn thoea days he
was noted for a fund of .humor that would
frequently "cut loose" and convulso tho
bench aad bar alike with Ita sclntlllant
ahafts, even while he waa administering
justice from the equity bench. Many and
sharp were the passage that he and Judge
John L Redick were wont to have when
they met, aa they often did In contested
cases. The following correspondence well
illustrates the wit that would frequently
crop out during Judge Wakaley'a career
of long ago. The auecdott Is recited In
Savage's "History of Omaha:"
OMAHA, Sept 18. 1875.-Hon. E. Wake
ley, City: Dear Judge I hold your receipt
for Abbott's Third National digest which
waa token by you some four months ago.
If you have no further use for the book
"noma nice it. 1 often wish to con
sult it, but still, if you are not through
reading It, I can get along without It. Yours
"r'ft., j vi. W. AMBROSE.
OMAHA. Sent. 14. 1)176 Tteir Amhrr., f
herewith comply, under protest, with your
untimely request that I should return your
vuuk. iuu romar mai you nave nela my
receipt for it for some tour months. This
Is probably true. But if you will read
the statute of limitations of Nebraska you
will observe that it does not bar a claim
under any written instrument until the
lapse of five years, leaving you about four
years and eight months still to reclaim
your book. Why then this undue precipi
tancy! Will you permit me as a searcher arter
legal knowledge, respectfully to Inquire if
you can refer to any respectable authority
requiring the borrower of a book to return
It within four months? I have read a
large number of cases in my time and I
ao not remember one m which such a
piopositlon is advanced, thouvh there may
bo an occasional dictum to the effect that
tne borrower is under a moral obligation
to return the book as soon aa he is able
to but' ona for himself.
Considered upon the principle and without
reference to authority, how would the
piopositlon stand T is it reasonable to sui
pose that a man engaged in a somewhat
active practice can find time In four
months to read through all the books he
borrows besides perusing the dally papers,
answering dunning letters and keeping up
with the Beecher-TUton literature? That
case, you will remember, was going on
for some two months of the time after
I a-ot your volume,
you remark that you often wish to con
sult the book. I highly commend that
resolution. You would certainly find it
beneficial to occasionally read some law,
and, If you should become accustomed to
It. you would nna i comparatively easy
only don't overdo It at first
The only thing I object to In that para
graph Is an implication that I would not
allow you to consult the book at my
office, his is unjust. I nave never re.
fused the owner of a book that privilege,
even when It has occasioned some incun
v nlence to myself,
In conclusion, permit ma to suggest mat
ou really cannot arrora to Keep law
for other practitioners to use, it
