What llu Sees, Ileum, Tliliiki itml lin
hkIiics. t nm qulto surprised nt tlio manner in
which my entwine! friond of Iho DeuwcrtU
handles tho Observer, nnd It seems that In
thlsciibo truth did hurt the brilliant quill
driver. Howover, my friend, it wns entirely
uniifevasiiry for such personalities, nsniy few
remarks wero entirely w itli tlio Democrat, nnd
not directed toils able editor, whom 1 think
nllowcd his jkjii to run away before cool judg
ment wut considered. Neither i'HK CouitlKii
or tho Observer has any ilehlro to enter Into a
lloVFinHT quarrel, nnd when reiimrkH re
gurdlng tho Alma wrecks were made In this
column lust week, nnd tlio course of the
Democrat taken before and since the strike,
they woro dimply to show facts, to express tho
imbllu comment, why tho change in tlio
DciiwchiVk course, and not to open an argu
ment which, if tho evening eonteiniK)rary de
sires to coutinuo, it may do so at its pleasure
and toatnuso itself, not it.t readerM or the Ob-
server.
On tho dead walls of tho city I notice ad
vertising innttcr calling rlio attention of the
multitude to tho advantages nnd Inducements
oirered by tlio great northwest, Portland,
Oregon, uud tho country thorenlout. I am
pleased to note that this celebrated part of
(Judo Barn's domain is being introduced to
tho nation, nnd know that by consistent en
terprise and continued elTorts tho biggest
boom over enjoyed nnywhero will bo wit
nessed by the jieoplo of that now and glo
rious quarter within tlio next fow years. It
has everything i make n prosperous coni
inon wealth, nnd there Is no reason w hy Its
resources can not bo developed and material
ized to tho beuellt of all comers. Iron, coal,
timlier, agricultural pursuits, lino climntu,
excellent trnusiMirtnllou facilities and every
thing necessary to enrich mankind is there in
abundance, and in order to settle up the
country tho railroads nro offering sjioeinlly
low rntes to prospectors and land seekers.
Tho Omnhii and Lincoln milkmen at pres
ent can now soliloquize over the situation of
the water question. Kor n long time Omiiha
has tried, and tried hard, to purify its muddy
water, but with no entire successful result,
and as ii consequence tho glass or milk after
standing u few moments shows tho settling
and gives tho milkman's auxiliary dead away,
while the Lincoln milk denier is trying to
solve tho problem of what sort of nryiirr to
to uso in place of our salt water.

A N'olalile llnti'i-prlsc.
Hut few of our jieoplo know what n largo
concern we havo In Lincoln that makes tlio
manufactory or trunks n business. Some
fow years ago Dr. Dorris opened what was
termed the Lincoln trunk factory, on
Klovcuth street, near O, nnd from the start
business wns good and u foundation for u sub
stantial trade was lalU. Dr. Dorris not find
ing siilllcleut time to devote to both his prac
tice nnd this Important industry, nlmiit two
years later sold tho trunk Interims to 0. A.
Wirlck and Charles Hopjicr, two young
gentlemen who had at that time just located
hi this city and engaged in tho real estate and
loan business, jloth energetic nnd enterprls-
lug, they took to their new calling liko n duck
I to tho water, and from tho time they liecnmo
I nrniiiietnrs of tho Lincoln trunk faetorv.
now Just thll teen months, the trade has in
creased materially, uud their products hnvo
become well nnd favorably known every
where. It is not generally known, but a fact
nevertheless, that all trunks handled at their
establishment, '.MS South Kl-venth street, ex
cept the very finest goods, are made at homo
and in their own factory, where u largo force
of coniietent workmen tiro engaged In build
ing all kinds of trunks, from tho cheap iwipor
covcrcd trunk to the lietter qualities In can
vas, jrlnc, leather uud other materials, with
Mulshing from the ordinary to tho strongest
made, 11 specialty Ijelng tho iiMiitifncturc of
sample trunks uud cases of any size and di
mensions. Just at this season of the year Is when tho
demand for ladles' traveling trunks aro
greatest, nud before going to tho mountains,
lakes or seashore, It would lie advlsnblo to
call at this establishment to see what they
havo In stock, or If you havo any peculiar
Idea of your own, anything you may suggest
will be put into reality as desired. Altera
tions and repairs aro neatly made 011 any nud
