Special Correspondence of t\a \ liar. CIIKSTOX , lown , April 1. In my rambles this week , along the line of the C. B it Q. , I have mot the usual amount ot business activity , sensational happiness , police news , political war training and good weath er , the latter of which has been for a day or two like the "balmy days" of early June. MAU LHN is all ajog over a now packing house , that is to cost 850,000 , with capacity for packing n hundred thousand hogs a year , and is trying to got the now college away from Shennnboah. The Judkins has changed its name and hereafter will bo labeled the Wilkinson House , while brother An derson continues to hold the fort at the Central with n "full house , " and "tho boards" arc making it fashiona ble to call for buttermilk , ninco the creamery has begun to dc business. AT HASTINGS , iho closing scenes at the "Temple of liacchus , " during the last hours of the "license system" were appropriate and nf nn interesting nature , as wo lieard it from the car window. EMEII.SON * lias fed stock in largo quantities this winter. Its schools are closed , and ' iho professor wandering in th'o Black tTills , while the Emerson house con tinues to wait on its patrons in the same quiet way. The Chronicle is published with its load of good sense , and Tin ; BKE is road every day. RED OAK seems to have boon quite lojthetic in taste , or else to have had an over dose of theatricals , for we found J. W. Garner , playing Rap Van Winkle tn an empty house , when anything Garner would play , in the eastern or middle states would always draw full houses. Antimonopoly seems to bo very strong here , and is often spoken of in connection with the names of Chas. Van Wyck and Vol. Sap , and a Tow days ago the the secretary of the state alliance was hero and organized a farmers alliance , nnd an antimonopoly nopoly league. The Secretary , Mr. L. E. Williams , a practical farmer from Montrosc , Leo county , Iowa , is state lecturer for the order in this state , Is a nephew of Judge Williams , of Chicago , so noted for pluck , and ho ict forth in clear and forcablo , man ner the needs and aims of the alliance which is being organized nil over the state. I deem him the right man in the right place , and thought he had very clear ideas of his busi ness. ness.Brother Brother killots , of The Express , lias dropped the daily , and has plenty of job work in addition to his weekly issue. The Telephone , published by R D. Sperry , has a good circulation also , and wear n "green back" label , while The Record will hereafter bo "worked off" from a now Campbell press. Red Oak has an intelligent and genial class of quill drivers. VILLISOA seems not to have been effected by the dry season and poor crops. The Western house has n fine new porch ornamenting its two fronts , and Mr. H. S. Lott has secured the old "Southern" and reorganized its in wardness and cha'ngcd its sign to Cottage hotel , whore ho will bn"ready to attend to the traveling public day or night , while the Commercial house is full , full all the time , and the genial landlord and his cheerful lady know how to "keep a hotel , " and the boys have found it out. There is a good deal of real estate changing hands. W. A. Woodward , the C. B. it Q. land ngent , who has just changed to now and very grand quarters on the corner opposite his old stand , says ho has plenty to do , and W. R. Minert , is selling land and joining money every day. Two bus iness houses hero are doing a very largo business and it may bo intcrestiug to the readers of TIIK BEE to compare some of their facts and figures with those in other towns or in other States. The hardware house of Barnes & Watterman are doing a business that will compare with the business in a large city. In looking at their books I saw the cash sales nf last Saturday were almost a thousand dollars , and a few days before the cash received in one day was twenty-two hundred. As 1 wandered up the street to the north west corner of the square , the mammoth - moth store of A. Harnoy , is the at traction. The numerous signs and bulletins make announcements of now goods , and prices and kinds of pro duct bought , but the large "boo hive" painted on the outer wall is the most expressive , emblem end correct label. I entered from the front fac ing the public park to find a building 120 feet Ion ; ; , with ware house and refrigerator at the rear. This monster room is divided by a partial partitirn , or diaphragm , near which the office desk is loratod in the center of the building. From llio front entrance wo are introduced to the departments of dry goods , silks and1 dress goods , housekeeping and linen , woolen and domestics , hosiery and underwear tor ladies nnd gentle men , cloak and shawl department , millinery , notions , and the Demorcst pattern department. Passing the diaphragm to the west wo find a full line of groceries and provisions , with the exit on to Third street , conven iently located near the main entrance to the butter and egg department in the cellar. An idea of this og- , ' trade , which is only a few months 'old , may bo shown by the statement thatduring the first three days of this week he shipped a thousand doznn , and sells to the largest dealers in the vest. The butter and i > gg trnllio is a very largo item , and is fast becoming an important feature ot the business of the town. Mr. Harvey cumo here less than a year ago from Monmouth , 111 , , and late in the sum mer began to prepare for a trade in butter and eggs , and ho has already established a reputation in prices , that brings him the good butter from many of the smaller towns for twenty miles around , nnd ho has no trouble tw sell all ho can get , although ho lias ship ped 15,000 or i.0,000 pounds during the winter season , and was some times a ton or more behind in ftllini ; his "rders. * Ho has all the machinery and appliancas for working and picking , which is under his personal supervi sion , and is putting up butter , worked and packed in his butter department , in 5 nnd 10 pound Voxcs. 1H brand of "Boo Ilivo Creamery Hut- ier , " with the stamp of the "Boo Hive , " in the butter , is already known in the mountains , ton or fifteen then- sand feet above the sea level , m Col orado , Missouri , nnd Illinois , and in many of the cities in Iowa , Nebraska , and Kansas. The enterprise and suc cess of this trade here , is working up other dealers to the idea , that there is a right mid n wrong way to do busi ness , and the general public all along the ilopo are beginning to rcalio that the dairy is far more reliable nnd profitable than the grain crops , nnd that good butter always finds a ready market. The evidences show that Homo and Pompeii excelled in gladitatorial plays , nnd most of those theaters and games were open to the sun ; but in this land of improvements , most of the strifes in "deadly combat * are attended to in "suitable buildings" and in the night time , and wo pass by those "incidents" of which every town is ashamed , to one which should interest ovcrv citizen of Omaha. It was in the early part of last Jan- Mary , that THE BEE called attention to n very important invention , just being patented by Hoxio and Patterson - son of Corning , Iowa , which was anew now process of manufacturing stone. THE Ui'.E was the first to call atten tion to this stone and.its great variety of ueos , and now ngain , after months of careful inquiry , and watching it during the most critical tests by prac tical stone men nnd builders , ns well as the skilled in chomcstry and geological logical experience ; I say to the poole - lo "you want this. " It is the only manufactured atone that is made by n real perfect crystallization of the sand , which is the basis of the now rock. It is harder than granite , beautiful in finish , will bear the severest tests of fire and water , and in cost can bo placed in competition with brick. For weeks have studied and counseled with able mon as to the practicability of using this stone to pave the streets of Omaha. It can bo secured nnd the sand ot tno Missouri can bo made into a beautiful solid road bed , or laid in sections , nt the pleasure of the contractor , making n road harder than granite , clean and perfect , that can bo repaired ns easily as a house wall can bo patched with lime mortar , and that will not cost more than the cheap wooden pave ments. The great Napoleon , filled with prejudice and led by popular clamor against the practical use of the steam engine , lost one of the golden momenta when ho said : "There are a sot of men , adventurers , charlatans , at every court in Europe , whb try to irrposo inventions noon the authori ties for money , which have no exhist- once save in their own imaginations ; and this American Fulton is ono of thorn. Do not mention the subject to mo again ; " and wo insist that if the business men of Omaha do not look well to this now paving stone be fore going much further , and before souio speculator purchases the right of Douglas county , it will bo a. terri ble mistake. 1 Col. W. W. Patterson , for years identified with many of the impor tant business interests of Kearney. Nebraska , and now a resident of Corn ing , Iowa , is the inventor. The colonel nel has been for many years engaged in manufacturing the many stones used at present , and is well known all over this country , nnd will bo remem bered particularly ns associated with Col. Thorp four or five years ago at Lincoln and Omaha. 1 may have boon looked up as one who is very easily talked into some new thing , and so 1 put n few others onto the stand by saying that wo fear Omaha will overlook this , while heavy capitalists in Now York City are forming n stock company with u hundred thousand dollars to control five counties , in eluding that city. The superintend ent of the Inter Ocean mining com pan } ' of Colorado , and the heaviest stockholder in the company , cainu hero to secure territory , as thoheaviost stone dealers and largest contractors and builders in the nation , who all join with the scientists in pronounc ing this tlio stone of to-day , and any body who investigates will see that it is , without a shadow of doubt , what it claims to bo. The notorious Rivcrton bank rob ber , Poke Wells , passed along this line Friday evening in charge of Sheriff Chandler and Sheriff Dan Far rell for the State's prison n\ Fort Mad ison. They were assisted by G , T. Hatton , of Sidney , who has nuised him since his confinement in that jail. Poke Wells refused to be carried to the court house but insisted on walk ing , and in court plead guilty to the larceny of a horse and the money taken from the bank , and was sen tenced to five years for each ; and many think ho will never live the ton years to bo tried for any other charges. At Red Oak while transferring to the main line , ho hud a very poor spell , and suffered much from his lame leg and from the ball Furroll loft in his right'bi-east , and from Homo of the other twenty-eight pistol and gun shots ho has received , nnd seemed to have u chill , and the sheriff tele graphed to Creston for n surgeon to join the train , but ho Boon revived irom the chill and icstcd easily wliilo chatting with the attendants who gathered around his bed , BUCKEYI ! , Jcwi MTAULKK , taoim nouur , IWdcnt , Vko 1'rcn't , \V. fa.
