It is particularly gratifying to bo able
to record so many changes in Lincoln's
business circles that mean additional
recognition of Lincoln's iuiortnuco and
appreciation of Lincoln's advantages by
Lincoln's business men, Within the
past mouth there havo been many
changes In conctviis that wore branches
of other houses or that had outsldo con
nections, by which the control of the
same has passed into tho hands of Lin
coln parties, to tho manifest advuntngo
of this city. Tho most recent of theso
affects tho Whltebreast Coal and Llmo
company, which now becomes a distinct
ively local concern. The Whltebreast
Coal and Lime company was organized
in 1885, succeeding tho WhltchroaatCoal
and Mining company, of Ottumwa, Iowa.
It Ib the ugont of tho Whltebreast Fuel
company of Chicago, and tho Colorado
Fuel it Iron Co of Donvor, with both of
which it has maintained close connec
tions. , John T. Dorgan, tho munagor,
has held a considerable block of stock,
but tho controlling interest, formerly
owned by J. C, Osgood, has been hold
by tho Colorudo Fuel A Iron Co. Tho
Lincoln compuny, since its inception,
has done a largo retail and wholesale
coal business, tho annual business run
ning away up in tho hundred thousands.
Tho treasurer of tho company hits resi

posit of tho company has of necessity
boon largely, keptoiu. Chicago. Within
tho past fow days John L. Dorgan,1 and
Finney nnd , havo purchased tho
Osgood stock In the White

ing interest. Mr. John T. Dorgan, tho
present secretary and manager, bocomos
a largo 'holder und is mado treasurer
so that hereafter tho business of the
compuny will bo transacted in thiB city.
Tho wholesulo business, which wub
bundled direct from tho mines will bo
dono from Lincoln, and this branch of
tho business will be rapidly extended
and developed. At a special mooting
hold in Donvor Monday E. Finnoy
wbb added to tho board of drectors.
Mr. Finnoy ono of Lincoln's most promi
nent business men proves to bo a valu
ublo addition to tho company. At tho
nnnual mooting to bo hold in May somo
further changes may bo mado. Tho
WhitobrcaBt company, undor Mr. Dor
gan's munugementh Iiub been slngirlarly
successful, and a very rapid future ad
vancement Is assured. Mr. A. C. Cuss of
Donvor, it should bo stilted, will romuin
president of the company.
Within tho past weok or ton days
thoro has boon a noticeable movement
of grain, and thcro is a marked increaso
in the railroad tonnage.
There is reason for congratulation in
the fact that tho number of foreclose
ura and sheriff's sales Iiub not been so
small in years ub at tho present timo.

It is tho goneral feeling that thero will
bo a lively spring trado in all lines.

Thoro havo boon no local failures of

paratively fow in tho state. Opinions
aro that fall and wintor purchases, woro
so much smaller than ordinary as to
mako much loss trouble from bills ma
turing in January and February, than
was anticipated by many. Tho record
of failures thus far would Boom to boar
out this supposition. Purchases for
Bpring business aro vory light and tho
talk is all economy, Thero will bo no
