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

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

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.

THAT CHINESE SPECULATION.
Everything Hccius to Bo Favorable
For the Syndicate.
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.

to the BBK. I Congressman Hanilall , like
Speaker Carlisle , denies thnt ho Is hero for
the purpose of attending any tarltf confer-
eitce. It Is learned on the best 'authority-
that the president and. Speaker Carlisle nave
formulated the outlines of a tariff bill which
Is now being Inspected by Secretary Fair-
child. The main features of tlio proposed
administration bill are the abolition of the
tax on tobacco and fruit hiandy , and a
largo addition to the fieo list. There Is also
a considerable reduction proposed In tarlll
duties. Mr. .Randall , it is known ,
will bo asked some very pointed questions by

Ho practicallv commands tlio election of the

elected without icpublican votes , he can de
feat with the balance of per that he con
trols any measure put forward by tlio tr.rifl

meeting ot the state campaign of the demo-

was very larjo and enthusiastic. The first

candidate for governor. Ho devoted nearly
one-third of his time to Foraker and his ad
ministration. Speaklne of what was de
manded of a governor of Ohio , the third
state In the union , ho said that Foraker's
attack upon President Cleveland In his
speech of acceptance was unworthy of ono
aspiring to such a high ollleo and for It ho
had received condemnation at the
hands of private cltl/ens and from the
public press throughout the coun
try. Ho claimed also that Gmcinor
Foraker had publicly Insulted JOO.OOO demo
cratic voters ot Ohio by reteirlug to them In
Ills speech as the "rebel brigade1 and as
"coiiledciates" and "dirty democrats. "
Speaking ot the matter of the rebel flag ho
hald the governor , by his conduct at the sol
diers reunions , and especiall at Wheeling ,
had disgusted the beit men In his own party
and they had called a halt on him. He said
the people wantiM a governor ulio would
Hive less attention to tlio war that ended
twenty years ago and moio to the peaceful
problems of the present ami liitnie. He also
gave facts upon which he based his claim
that Cleveland's administration had done
more for the soldiers and their dependent
lelatives than any lepitbllran administra
tion. Ho closed Ills speech with a tribute to
President Cleveland aud his work.
