Bennett & dote , Occupy a Four ' Story Building. BIG STORE ON CAPITAL AVENUE. AH KxtciiHivo Grocery , Provisions * uiid General House Furnishing Establishment. Tliuro are so many now business blocks being built in Omaha thu present year that to mention all of them in an extend ed review would leave space in the newspapers - papers for othlng else. JJut the Samuel It , Brown building on Capitol avenue , between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets , wliloh is now very nearly completed , calls for special attention , more particu larly on account of the crcat popularity of the linn that is to occupy it. Tula building is 60x80 feet on the ground and four stories in height , facing Houth on Capitol avenue. The lirst lloor and basement will bo occupied by the well known grocers and general house furnishers , VV. H. Bennett & Co. , who will vacate their present quarters on Fif teenth street about October 15th. In this connection a short history of this firm will not bo out of placo. It was in December of 187dtnat W. 11. Bennett & Co. lirst opened their business in a room 18x00 foot in size. At this time that space was ample , but In a few months more room was needed and from year to year , as other stores adjoining could bo se cured , they added to their space until ttioir store to-day is 01x00 feet , with enough goods' in It to 1111 a room three times its si/i ! . As Itis they are actually lammed. The business wnich they have Dullt up is truly wonderful. From a email beginning their trade has grown to a cash business of over ? iiOOOOl ) ii yearTho secret of their success is duo in a great moasuru to the untiring efforts of .H Sir. William H. Bennett , who is a young man of extraordinary abilities in the mercantile line , having a clear head , being - ing a shrewd buyer , ocomonieal and practical. Ho is the head and front of the concern and never lets an opportun ity pass to secure a startling bargain for his firm. Always buying for strictly cash and selling to ono and all for rash only , they are enabled to place their wares before the customers at such prices ; that to-day they have not a single coin s' petitor in their lino. If there over was a man or sot of men who is a friend to the poor man , W. U. Bennett ' & Co. surely . , deserve the chromo , for ono man , bo ho , poor or rich , can buy of them as 1 cheap as another , and a child k is as .sure of gottting proper attention i and as good goods at low prices , whether E bought in largo or small quantities , as the father. This fact is best attested by , . . ; going to their store any day and sco the f largo number of children that do the L'r shopping for the family. As to what they f carry in stock , it is easier to state what n tliny do not carry , for nearly everything ' -will bo found there but dry goods and I furniture. When Bennett & Co. tret into their i now quarters , although they will not add f any now departments , they will make / each department more complete , and f will otherwise pursue tha same con servative policy for which they have , always been noted. It is the ini- prcssiou that when a linn adds to 4 its expends , Umt the profits on the busi ness must increase proportionately. This is true in many instances , but in this cnso the move will tend rather to reduce proilts than to increase thorn , as tjioy liavo leased the entire building and havu Already sublet the greater portion o : wliat tatty oitnmotRuso , aud before tunny I , ; ' k- * . . , days the light and airy rooms above , so suitable for clubs or private purpose , will ill bo rented , and at sueh a liguro that Uonnett iSs Co. will really bo paid some thing to occupy the building , rent free , while now they pay a good rental for a space entirely too small. There is surely not u man , woman or child in this city , and not many dealers throughout the state with whom Lhoy do a largo jobbing business , but knows ofV. . H. Bennett & Co. , and of their wonderful faculty of selling to the retail trade at oven less than wholesale prices. Their grocery and tea trade is simply enormous' and will bo greatly en hanced during the next few weeks , while disposing of their wares at lower prices than over rather than bo at an additional expense of moving it to their now quar ters , which they hope to occupy bj Octo ber 15. A Caret From Mr. Grimtts. OMAHA , Sopt. 7. To the Editor of the Bin : : lleforrlng to the statement made by yonr Lincoln correspondent In yesterday's Issue 1 would say , I neither wrote or son * any communication to the Lincoln Fiolght bureau. Tlio letter In question was written to the board of transportation , enveloped and plainly directed to them. The copy re tained in my ollleo Is clearly addressed to the board ot transportation , and it Is diflicult to believe the Lincoln Freight bureau would re tain for thirty days a letter addressed on the insldo to other parties. The customary usage among gentlemen In cases of error in outsldo addresses would lead one to suppose the Lin coln Frelcht bureau , on opening the com munication would have turned it over at once to the board of transportation. * 'llmt tiie Lincoln Freight bureau has never acknowledged receipt of the letter to mo is Mitliclent evidence to my mind that they never iccelved It. nad that your correspond ent has been misled. Very truly yours. W. F. ( JnU'KlTTS , Commissioner.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 7. | Special Telegram to the UEE.I At the Chinese legation there \\asa conference last night between the MItklewIci-Uarker syndicate , the Chinese minister and the mandarins who accompanied Mitkiewici to this country. This conference lasted until a very late hour aud the icsult was that a cablegram was sent to China to-day In which the names of the gentlemen who have subscribed for the stock of the syn dicate were given. It seems that the amount of money to bo subscribed has been over rated. It Is ST .000,000 instead of S50.0JO.OOO. Of this sum 812,000,000 have been subscribed by the Chinese. The secietary of Iho legation said to-day that the Chinese DKovnrnmont would take $5,000,000 ot the a stock and that the other 87,000,000 would have to bo subset Ibed t > y merchants in the Chinese empire. There were a number of men with more or less capital at their disposal at the Mannlne house to-day , who were anxious to get it 'on the ground floor , but they were too late. It Is said that Drexel. Morgan & Co. , of Philadel phia , have agreed to take upwards of S2C60- 000 of the stock , which will bo sold In the United States , and that every share Is spoken for. Mr. Ching Yen lloon , the Chinese min ister , is said to be tullv sailslied with the re sponsibility of the gentlemen who terra the syndicate , and there is excellent authority for saying that the concessions were com pleted to-day by the addition of his signature to the papers which weio brought from China by Mitklewici aud his fellow traveleis. The amount at which the scheme Is capitalized will seem rather small tor the enterprise which are to be undertaken , but it is said by Mr. Barker's representative that the suui will bo ample for the present , as the empire of China is not developed up to the point of grldlroning the country as yet. Besides this , the cost ot labor is so low In China that the work will bo accomplished at an expen diture tar less than similar enterprises would require In this country. While the financial record of Mltklowicz In the United States may not have been alwaj s just what Itshould ha\e been , the Chinese mandarins who ac company him seem to have the highest re gard lor his ability as a financier. They praise his shrewdness and consider him a sort of saviour. They assert that this entei- prbo will bo the making of the cmplio. A Congressman's Son Whips an Um pire. WASHINGTON , Sept. 7. [ Special Tele gram to tlio BEK.I Mr. Itogcr O.
