I PROSPERITY RETURNING. A Million Dollar Packing Mouse to d Erected at South Omaha at Once. While several of the great packers bae bouses in South Omaha, one of the largest and wealthiest firms in the United States has heretofore confined his operations to Chicago and Kansas City, that of P. D. Armour & Co. Armour is called king of the packers. He purchased nineteen acres of ground, and it is said will build a plant at once at a cost of one million dollars, which will furnish employ ment to 2,000 men. The bringing of so much capital to Nebraska is a great event for western people. The location of this plant, however. will be of greatest good on account of the improvement it will make on the market, with the increased demand for Nebraska hogs and cattle. Preliminary work has already be gun, and ere long the McKinley wave of prosperity will be so strong; that the voice of the croaker ana malcon tent will be hushed. . The sugar factory, to cost with ma chinery, a full half million dollars, is also an assured fact for South Omaha, which seems just now to be at' the head of the procession. Aa Excellent Hong Recital.
