cj , Nob. , Oct. 10. ( Special to TUB
] The llrst republican rally of this
year' * campaign was held this afternoon In
thin city , the homo of Judge Post , The
meeting was hold In the opera house , wnlch
bad been appropriately decanted for the oc
casion. There was an attentive nudlonco ,
composed of roprcscntntivo residents of
Platte county , among thorn being several
members of the farmers alliance , Mr.
Edward Itosowator , Colonel C. H. Scott ,
ox-Congtoistnan Council of Omaha , Judge
1'ost , ex-Senator McAllister and others.
The meeting was called to order by Mr.
McAllister , who Introduced Mr. Hosewator
as tUo spcakcrof the occasion.
Mr. Itosowator plunged at once Into his
subject , speaking first of the discontent
among Nebraska farmers and the origin of
the alliance movement. The growth and
gradual rolnpso of the nlllunco movement
were dwelt upon and the attempt of ambi
tious leaders , mostly old grccnbacKors , to ro-
vlvo the old party for their own ends
touched upon. Ho followed this by an ac
count of tbu iccent movements of the party
in this state and proceeded to show by facts
and Qgures from cfllclal reports that tbo last
legislature , although In the hands of the In
dependent * , was the most reckless and ex
travagant In the blstorv of the state.
The highhanded methods of the leaders of
the Independent party was shown In their
true light. The national platform of the in
dependent uarty was then taken up
end the speaker showed , by num
erous documents , the many fallacious
ntatemcnts iniulo In that Instrument.
Tbo national bank question , the silver Issue
nnd other topics of lluo nature were taken up
and discussed at length , the speaker using
numerous statistics to substantiate state
ments made by nun. Coming to the question
of the stiito campaign , Mr. Hosowator spono
oi the well known honesty and excellent rec
ord made by Judgn Post and the necessity
for electing a competent man to the supro no
bench. The methods pursued by Edgerton
In his efforts to bo oicctd to some ofllco , wore
exposed fully. The doubto dealing Pnul
Vundervoort , who Is stumping the state for
Kdgerton and endeavoring to turn the soldier
vote to the Independent ticket , was shown
up and somn savory Incidents connected with
that worthy's record were substantiated by
ample proof.

ley welcomed the delegates in behalf of the
people of Pittsburg and Allcghany.
Tbo president of tbo association , ex-Prosi-
dent H. B. Hayes , was then Introduced and
delivered hb > annual address.
Mr. lluyoi said that a largo majority of the
prisoners accused or convicted of crlm'o in the
United States were dealt with in deiianco of
Justice and wise principle * in these four vital
particulars.
Klrst The beginners In
these only suspected of enllt are detnlnud ( or
trlul. nudillod together with old and burdened
oiUincUirs.
Second Professional crlmlnnls at the end of
tholr terms are sent forth to prey agtihi upon
society a ml to Inltiionco other * to lead crimi
nal lives.
Third Discharged prisoners , with all the
cimnurs ngulnst them , am rmupulled to nmUo
a llvlni ; by n return to their orll ways.
I'ourth 1'rUonors aru under wardens and
other prison olllcera appointed without regard
to t heir iiunlltlcutlonii or experience.
These four fnotn ( said the ipoAkorl , without
considering others , would bo siiniclont t-jux-
plnln the increase of crime In thu United
fetnttiti , Thu remedy for the tlrst cause was the
mamiKinnunt of Jails so us to keep separate
their Inmates. Until that were dona It would
ba far better to cut down Urgoly the number
of arrests of thu younc.
The rx'inedy for the second causa | s the con-
flnmeiit of thu professional criminal until ho
Is cured of his cr-mlnal habits , If It krut him
n convict until tlio end of nU Ufa. The pro
fessional criminal belonged In prison , where
he. should be Uenl ounilnu un honest living.
The remedy for the third cause of the In-
creufceof crime devolved upon sooluty , there
Is nn humane obligation , u Christian duty ,
which devolved upon society tosoo to It that
meritorious ex-convicts should be glren a fair
opportunity to earn an honest llrlnic.
Lastly , the remedy tor the fourth cause U

Cincuio. III. , Oct. 10. Dlscovenoi bavo
boon niddo which loavd llttlo doubt that at
least ono road has decided to cut the rate on
corn botucen Chicago nnd the Atlantic sea
board. (5111 t FUhor of Baltimore , who uro
the most oxtcnslvo exporters of the grain In
the United States , are said to be up to their
old Irlcm again. Two years ago , when thcra
was n heavy corn cron , thh firm lent agents
Into Kansas and Nebraska and nude con
tracts for Immense quantities of corn on
the basis of a 'JO cant rate from Chicago
cage to the seaboard , although the rate
then In effect was S3 cents per 100 pounds.
When the corn was ready to be shipped the
Baltimore & Ohio reduced the rate to SO
cants , and , of coutno , the Inference was that
it did so by previous agreement with the
shippers. That tbo samu gama is to bo
played this voar seems almost certain. It
has been discovered that GUI & Fisher are
again contracting for corn , and at prlcos
that ether dealers cannot touch. Tbo lowest
price at which competing limn can agreoto
deliver now corn In Baltimore U .VJ.Oct rents
per bushel , while Gill & Fisher have booked
It at )1 cents. It is claimed that this could
not be douo without assurances of an ad
vantage In rates , nnd Ills believed that when
the now corn begins to move the Baltimore &
Ohio will reduce tbo rate cither openly or
otherwise. Pjrhapi the Indiana , Illinois &
lowa line will bo called upon to stand a por-
tlon of the reduction The contracts provide
that the property shall bo delivered at , Balti
more prior to Jumiary 1 , and It is said that
enough corn has been bought up by GUI &
Fisher alone to keep the Baltimore & Ohio
busy up to that date. The general freight
agents of some of the Chicago lines are
wearing long faces In consequence of this
state of affairs. Such manipulations are , of
course , calculated to injure Chicago as nprain
market , and many roads that have been ex
pecting an enormous tonnage us soon as the
corn begins to move will find they have been
badly "scooped. "
The Board of Uullngs of the Trunk ino
and Central Trafllc associations have ad
journed. The following statomcr t was given
out today. The Board of Htilinirs investigated
'
gated at'Clucago the charge that the Wubosh
company had authorized a return to the pay
ment of commissions , and the explanation of
its general manager was received to the
effect that the circulars to the party who
Insucd It were intended only to apply to
Canadian and colonial tratllc. upon which
the Canadian Paclllc and the Grand Trunk
companies bavo continued to pay uoniinis

arrangement contemplates putting the Ohio

sibly over Jx',000,000 on tbo line and reducing
the rate of interest upon the bonds , tbo Bal

Rev. Llo\d Jones of Wales said It was not
a question of whether God created the world
but how bo did It.
Bishop Fowler of San Francisco , hold that
unless Methodists could defend their ground
they must surrender. Therefore , ho wel
comed criticism. Ho had shipped for an
eternal voyage and If ho was on a raft that
would go to pieces in tbo llrst storm ho

A few years ngo tbero wen ) almost no
factories in Omaha outside of the smelling
work * , Unseed oil worlu , white lead works
nnd ono or two others , and people wore
forced to buy almost all manufactured iroods
In the cast. As the city grow In population
tbo factories commenced coming , many of
thorn being located by cntnrprlstug real
estate owners who believed that a factory
at a certain uolnt would bclp to sell adjoin
ing lots.
Thesto factories many of them commenced
operations when people wore too busy
building up homes and pushing indi
vidual business schemes to give much
thought to nn.vtnlnir else and accordingly the
factories were lost sight of In the general
prosperity of the city ,
The factories failed to attract attention
and the people having once formed the habit
of buying eastern goods never stopped to
Inquire if tbu same goods were not made In
| | Oiiiuhu. It was uphill work for the inanu-
I fui'turers , some gate up the liirht. others
Just nimuiL-ei ] to hold their own while a few
I by untiring energy and a liberal expenditure
. of money succeeded In building up a big
business ,
, All this time I bo people were saying wo
must have factories but when ono was
located they let It starve for want of patron
age. Through a luclt of Information on the
subject , the people of the city In
tholr travels over tno country niid In
meeting strangers gave the impression
that Omaha was not a manufacturing citv.
They were ail aware of the existence of two
or three of the oldest and largest plants and
never failed to call tno attention of strangers
to thorn , out they were not nwi.ro of the
dozens of line plants that bad been located
during the past three or four years along the
Belt line in the outlying additions of the
city , nnd in fuel all over the city from North
to South Omaha.
Few t-itles In the country could prosper as
Omaha has dona under such adverse adver
tising from Its citizens.
This city of Omaha has grown so rapidly
during the past few years that it has been n
difticult task for even the most \\idu-awake
citizen to keep un with the develop
ment of homo Industries. Tin : Uii' :
articles on local manufacturing intercuts
bavo been u great surprise to most people
who had no Ide'a that such a lariro variety of
good * were made m Omaha and that 'the
factories were doing so much to help the
city by giving employment to labor. When
tlioy reall/o how much more these factories
might do for the city If only patroni/od bv
the people of Omiliu tiqy ) recognize at once
the folly of sending cast for ovoivthlng.
The dull times of the [ last few months have
given thn people a chance to pause and study
the true siluation , ana the moro tbu subject
is thought about and talked about the more
evident It becomes thalTho practical av of
increasing the city's prosperity is to build up
manufacturing intcre > U ,
The only wav to norompliih this end Is by
patronizing tnoso factories already locatc'd

plants nnd to increase the number of their

would bo certain of rewivlns their share of
patronage.
The realization of tbdsn facts by the people
of Omaha accounts forlho rapid development
of tbo homo patronatrq sentiment , which bids
fair to give a now imuelus to local manu
facturing nnd put , nowlife into every kind of
business. "
While the people hav.e/communccd in good
earnest to purchase homo made goods , they
nave limited their pjti'onugo laigoly to suoh
lilies of business as have been specially
brought to notice by Tin : BKI : . There arc ,
however , a great many other branches of
industry which nro equally deserving and
which could bo mido of far creator use to the
city it home patronage were extended to
them.
haiindrles of Omnhii.
Ono branch of industry which has crown
beyond the 'cnowlcdgoot the irenerai public is
the laundr.riiitr business. A few years ago
steam laundries iii'Olnahn were few in num
ber and small in size , but they have improved
until no city in the union can show , liner
plants. They bavo the very latest and
best machinery to bu had , and nro conducted
by wide nwako and energetic business men.
In spue of this faet there nra still people
hero who send goods toMroy , N. Y. , to bo
laundried acd even o western cities , rivals
ot Omaha. Some ot the people doing this
are prominent business men whodopeud upon
Omaha patronage for a living.
The employment of child labor in these
outside laundries enables them to do worlcat
a loss price than the Omaha laundries , which
helps to make up the cost of. shipping tbo
goods.
It is barely nosslhlo that some of the
Omaha people whoso laundry goes out to
other cities are notawaroof the fact , butaro
simply giving it out to wnoinovor calls for it
without asking where the work is done.
In order to better inform the people of
Omaha ns to the Importance of the local
laundries and of thcJr worthiness of home
patronage , I recently visited a num
ber of th3m and made a caro-
fui investigation , Among those ex
amined were : the Model at 111U Dndgo
street ; City Steam , 211 South Eleventh ; the
Frontier , l.lia Howard ; the Nebraska , l.VM
Howard ; Jackson Street laundry , DlSJackson
street ; tbo Empire , North Twenty-fourth
street ; tbo Boston , .Mil South Eighteenth ;
tbo Northwestern , lOlb Saunders and the
Gate City , Seventeenth near Capital avenue.
There am several other laundries scattered
over the city but there was not time to visit
them nil.
On entering an Omaha laundry the llrst
thing that strikes the visitor is the general
appearance of cleanliness every where appar
ent. This Is especially the case if the visitor
has never been through tbolaundries of other
cities. There Is a total absence of sloppy
floors and that general untidy apnearauco so
characteristic ; of the laundries of most cities.
Thcro is also a total absence of another oven
moro objectionable feature , child labor.
Much of tbo work In a laundry can bo done
by girls 13 to 14 years of ago whoso services
can be obtained nt from f..JH ) to $1.00 per
week nnd this kind of labor is employed
largely lu other cities which gives , them un
ndvantago when It comes to turning out low-
priced work. IhoOqifllia laundries employ
girls from 10 years of ngo up and nt
wages ranging from ffltofS per week. I saw
several that are receiving flu per week and
that bavo held their positions for years.
Work In an Omaha laundry limit bo desir
able Judging from thersw > arent contentment
of the employes and tUa > langth of tlmo that
the majority or them hold their places.
A few boys and mon&ra emploved but the
number is comparatively small. They receive -
ceivo nil tbo way from tlU to $100per months.
So much for tno general appearance of the
laundries aim the character of tbo help.
When It comes to the machinery
in use some slight , differences will
bo noted but , ( ho. general meth
od employed Is ' tbo some In
nil and a description oi ouo would answer for
the whole number. " " '
first comes the Wfteb room where the
garments are placed' ' In largo perforated
cylinders with a certain amount of soap and
water and tbo stoatn turned on aud the
cylinders revolved un',11 the last partlclo of
dirt Is washed away. The next step
is to wring out ttto water which in
band laundries Is usually done bv passing
the garments between two rollers. This may
tauo tbo water out. but U also takes off the
buttons , so that tbo Omaba laundries have )
put In a machine kno\\u as a centrifugal extractor -
tractor , a rather htch sounding narno for a
clothes wringor.
Briefly described this machine consists of
a kattle-ibaned copper tank full of boles , and
placed Insldu an iron casing in such shape
that It can bo revolved at tuo rate of about
2,000 revolutions a minute. This tank , tilled
with the wet garment * , Is set In motion onu
according to tbo law of centrifugal force the
water tiles out through the holes aud U
caught by tbo urroumiitig casing of Iron
ana conducted into thu sewer. In four or
live minutes the garments are drier
than they could bo made by any old fash-
lono'l wriugor.
Colored goods , flannels. silUi , otc. , are
washed by band In distilled water , that Is ,
condensed steam , which being frco from .Into
and ether Impurities Is bettor for tbU pi < r-
It might bo added hero that all the water
used has to bo tilted and the Illtcru In use in
the larger laundries nro very extensive
affaire. They usually consist of two Iron
tanks , onu placed on top of tbo other. Tbo
lower ono is loiidml with sat id and pillvei'Ucd
coke. Tbo water enters nt the topof this tank
and comes out ut the bottom. No one would
rccognt/o this Illtored water as having como
from the Missouri river , us It is rendered ns
pure and sparkling as the purest of sprlug
water.
Such a Illter , from the amount of muddy
river water passed through it , soon fills y-ith
mud and has to bo ( loaned and It is then that
tbu upper tank comes into play. The plpo
running Into the top of the lower tank Is
turued off and a plpo connected nt the bottom
turned on and the water forces Us way up
through thu llltcr carrying the mud nnd sand
with It Into the upper tank. The mud rising
in the water llowa off through n vent at thn
ton , whllo the sand settles to the bottom.
After tbu dirt has nil been washed away a
valve In the bottom of the tank Is opened and
the sai.U drops back Into its original place In
thu Illtor.
In cities wbcro tbo water is pure , laundrymen -
men are saved the trouble and expense of
filtering. But to return to the description of
laundrylng garments , broken off above.
When the coeds leave the wash-room they go
III different , directions.
Table linen and other .straight articles go
Into an ironing room ttttcd up with machinery
especially for that class ofvorK The goods
nro passed through largo Ironing machines ,
consisting of u scries of hot rollers , which
smooth and dry thorn. Girls feed the goods
Into ono sldo of the machines whllo other
girls receive and fold them on tholr oxlt.
Snmo of these machines cost ns high as ? ) , ( XK )
each. As to the .speed with which the work
Is done , ono of the lauudiics , which makes a
specialty of hotel and restaurant work , col
lects table linen on Sunday afternoon and on
Monday morning washes , Irons nnd delivers
it in time for orcakfast.
Tlio ironing of men's shirts is n far more
complicated operation , and n hu'go number of
different machines nro required. From the
wash-room the shirts nro hung on racks
\\lilch slide into the drying roo.ii , where tbo
temperature Is kept very high by moans of
steam pipes , and the remaining dampness on
the garments is soon evaporated. The starch
ing of the besoms Is done by passing them
under a roller over which starch Is poured.
Another machine called tbo datnpener per
forms what Is known ns "sprinkling" the
garments , after which they are ready for the
ironur. The operation of Ironing Is performed
by a number of different operators on as
many different machines. One girl irons the
bosom , another the neckband , still another
the slcevoband and so It passes on down the
line through other hands who irou the sleeves
and tbo body. The rollers , in these Ironing
machines nro heated by eas.
Collars aud cuffs nro also Ironed by ma
chinery , but the operation Is loss complicated
than is the ease with shirts.
So much for the methods employed in the
Omaha steam laundries.
The laundries of Omaha are at the present
tlmo giving employment to Ull people nnd
are paring out in wages Jltil,700 per year.
As near ns can bu llgurod tliu capital invested
in machinery , etc , , amounts to $ . ! * . " > , 500.
-in rely , no ono will deny that a branch of
business trivmg employment to such n num
ber of people nnd and distributing so much
money in wages is worthy the patronage of
evcrv citizen. But the money paid out for
wages is not the only bonclH derived by the
city from the laundries , as they nro large con
sumers of water , fuel , gas , starch , paper , soap
and soap material , alt ot which aru purchased
from local dealers and companies. The work
for the laundries is collected -and distributed
by about thirty-five wagons of Omaha manu
facture.
It miiiht bo added that the work turned out
by these laundries is first class in every re
spect and cannot bo surpassed in any city.
' 1 ho people of Omaha have reason to bo nroud
of these establishments aud can well afford
to give them every encouragement In tholr
power.
Men oi Iron.
Omaha is bcatad a long distance from the
mines of Iron and coal and it is not to be ex
pected that this city can ever have great
rolling mills or bccomo celebrated for the
manufacture of pig ; iron , but it can have and
already has lareo manufacturing establish
"
ments" engaged m turning out the moro
llinsbc'l productions of Iron nnd steel.
Just nt the present tlmo business in this
branch is ox'romely dull , owing to the limited
amount of building and to other apparent
causes. Many of the machine shops have re
duced their force nearly ono-half and some
even more , but taere are still .T.I4 men om-
plovod by the foundries , machine shops ,
boiler shops , wire woiks , etc.
These men nro receiving wages at the
rate of SJTli.HO per vcar , and there
have brcn times when business was es
pecially nctlvo that the amount paid out in
wages would reach a half million.
It must bo borne iu mind that the above
ilgurcs do not include tbo amount of tnuiioy
paid out by the Union Paclllc to its iron
workers , nor are the blacksmiths , horse-
shocrs or similar lines of business included ,
although they are really iron workers ,
Jt U to bo doubted It one citizen in a hun
dred , not engaged in the business , has iiny
idea of the size nnd completeness of the dif
ferent Iron plants of the city. If they know
more about them thov would take more inter
est In them and not send so much
inonoy out of the city for articles that can bo
made Just as well and Just as cheaply at
home.
Foundries nnd Machine ShopH.
To consider the subject moro In detail tbero
are a number of plants in tbo city that would
como under the above hcadlni ; , but it will bu
a difllcult matter to glvo n very clear Idea of
their sbo nnd completeness to ono who has
never visited any of them , and it will bu im
possible to go Into any lengthy description.
The Paxton .t Vierllng iron works. In ad
ditlon to machinery , make a specialty of
architectural and ornamental iron works.
This necessitates the employment of a nurr-
ber of pattern makers , who carve out in
wood a pattern , which is used in making the
mould in sand for the casting. To see the
Interior of thu pattern department alone Is
well' worth u trip to the works. Then there
are the large steam hammers , so wnll
regulated that the operator can make
them strike blows of several tons
force or only a light tap. The
operation of easting Is bighly interesting to
the novice nnd every corner of tbo works
contains surprises for the uninitiated.
Davis & Cowglll and tbo Omaha macblno
works devote their energies to making and
repairing machinery. Tbo latter linn Is
making preparations to put In n plant for the
manufacture of all Kinds of shovels and
expects to employ a large unmoor of men ,
but that will depend entirely upon the en
couragement received lu the way of patron
ago.
ago.Woarno Bros , do castlntrand machine work
and Just at present are making a specialty of
turning out wbceU for the motors.
T. M. Trevott also conducts n machine
shop and ills specialty is the manufacture of
elevators.
Tno PhiPiilx foundry as the name would
Indicate do n general foundry business and
they bavo a line plant out on the belt lino.
The Martin Steam Feed Cooker company
have boon mentioned In a previous article ,
but In addition to tbo manufacture of cookers
they are doing a general foundry business.
ItollerVorkH. .
Omaha uses any number of bolters made at
eastern cities which are bought without the
local mauors boinir given tbo opportunity of
i-voii bidding on thorn , Tbo buyers , take it
for granted that they cannot bo made as
cheaply in Omaha , when In reality the local
Dollermakors would be glad of the chance to
duplicate the work at eastern prices. Some
buyers send cast and got Ilgurcs on a poiler
anil then want the local maker to put up the
same boiler and furnish thu extras ut tbo
price asked ( or the boiler alouo by thn east
ern inakar. In other words they will buy
east unless tbo Omnha manufacturer will
undersell all eastern competitors.
That Is the kind of homo patronage that is
well calculated to break down the bast city
lu tbo country.
Another thing which works against
the bollortnakers Is the fact that
Omaha has to look to thu cast for engines
and tbo eastern manufacturer frequently re
fuses to gurrantco the working of his ma-
chiuo unless bo is allowed to furnish tbo
boiler with It , This U only a moans of workIng -
Ing up boiler sales as every one knows that
it maKc.s no difference to tbo worulng of the
engine what make of boiler Is used so loni ; as
It is of the required capacity. Nevertheless
this argument sells u good many eastern
boilers In Omaha.
A large company whlch-asks for tno patronage
tronago of Omaha people recently ordered a
bailer In the oust on the excuse that U could
not bo made quickly enough iu Omaha , but
if they had taken thu trouble even to inquire
thov would have found that parts of the
bolter which they \\antcd wcrdnlrcadrupAnd
the whole could havn been completed and set
up long before it couM bo brought from the
oast.
Boilermakers only ask that they bo given
a fair show and they will employ men and
help build up the city
There are in Omaha three llrnm ongaccd In
this line of manufacture , Wilson & Drake.
Carter & Son a.ul Kltinoy A t.owroy , and
tholr work would bo n credit to any city.
Just at lircsnut business Is dull In this
branch of manufacture as well ns In other
lines of iron work and the people ot Omaha
ought to give thorn all the benefits of homo
patronage. Owing to the small amount of
work being done hero boiler makers have
boon forced to lay off a largo number of
skilled mechanics , men with largo families
on tbolr bauds Hint their only alternative Is
to leave the cltr or starve.
\ \ Ire Works.
The Omaha Barbed Fence end Nail com
pany bavo a plant that would surprise the
average cltlron If ho were to visit It. At tbo
present tlmo they have fortv-threo men em
ployed and havn n capacity for turning out
nlno or ton million pounds of the barbed wire
used for fences. They also muutifiicttiro iron
staples , woven plckot fences , oto. They have
machinery for making naflt , but are not
niatiulacturlnp any at tno present time. The
manufacture of barbed wire , which consists
of twisting two wires together end fastening
the barbs into It is n most Interesting opera
tion , but It Is all machine work. The opera
tor starts tlio machine running and then sits
down nnd calmly smokes while the machine
does the work. A machine will put on 'J3.1
barbs a minute , twists the wire and
winds It onto a spindle. When ono
spindle Is full the operator stops his machine
and puts In another and then resumes his
seat. This Is n manufacturing establishment
that the ocoplo of Omaha ought to lane pndo
in , and they would If they Know moro about
It.
Thcro are several firms in the city engaged
In the manufacture of Iron , wlro and brass
work , such as ofllco railings nnd fixtures ,
roof crustings , wire mats , Mower pot stands ,
cto. They nro the Acme Iron and Wlro
works , Reliable Iron nnd Wlro works nnd
Leo Bnroch. This is anothcrlinc of business
which should receive the benefits of homo
patronage , but which is too often neglected
for some eastern manufacture- ! . Ono of tbo
largest buildings put up in Ointha this year
went east for oftlco fixtures that might nave
been made In Omaha , but Omaha manu
facturers did not get on opportunity to bid
on it.
Cornice AVorks.
The manufacture of iron cornices , window
caps , iron rooting , etc. , is another industry
that Is carried on vcrv extensively In Omaha
The firms making this class of work are the
Eagle Cornice works , C. Spccht , P. Bcrger ,
MuBrien & Carter and F. Kuomrlng. These
linns not only do a good deal of work In
Omaha , but they also receive a considerable
patronage from other cities ,
Oinalin Sal'o Workf.
Gustavo Androon has nn extensive plant
for the turning out of safes and vault works ,
Jail work , Iron shutters , wire work , oto. At
tbo present time quito a number men are
employed lu the works and the pay roll runs
up into the thousands.
Iron Fences. ,
Tbo Omaha Manufacturing companv Is anew
now establishment for Omaha , and ono that
promises well for the city if the proper en
couragement is extended. Thay are making
nnd putting up a superior class of durable
, iml ornamental iron fences. It is an estab

The reunion of an lowan with bis brother
whom ho had not scon for thirty years tcoK
place at the Palmer house" under the most
oxtraordlnarj circumstances. H occurred
during the roeont reunion of tlio Army of tbo
Tennessee , nnd the Iowa man told thu story
today. Owing to the crowded condition of
the house it was necessary in many instances
to give a man a room in which there wort )
two beds , with the understanding that someone
ono else should occupy the room with him.
C. I , Pock of Kockford , 111. , icgis-
tercd nt'd was assigned by Clerk
Cunningham to room a.B. Later in
the day C. O. Peck of Cedar Rapids , la. ,
came in and Mr. Cunningham , remembering
there was n vacant bed. sent him also to No.
! - ! . > . Shortly afterward Mr. Peck from Cedar
Rapias olbo-ved his way through the crowd
up to the counter , holding Mr. Peck of Hock-
ford by tlio arm as If I'e wore nlrald of losing
him , and with tears in his eyes and a broad
smile on bis face called out to tbo clerk
"How the uovll did you know this man was
my brother. Both of us thought the other
wns dead , and wo haven't scon each other for
thirty years. "
He then told how they had gone to tbo war
together and bad fought sldo by side beloro
Vlcksburg in the army of the Tennessee.
During the engagement they became separ
ated and each supposed that thu other was
