Hastings and Kearney Join the Manufac turers Association. BRIEF REVIEW OF NEBRASKA FACTORIES. The Ilcntrlco Starch Compiiny Captures Onmlui Tlirojigli the Homo I'utrou- ugo Jlovoiuunt An imposi tion Proposed. The homo patronage movement has boon Inaugurated In Hastings. The people there have been taking a very considerable Inter cut in the movement , and are fully allvo to tbo fact thnt Nebraska can never become a great manufacturing state unless the people of the state give the preference to Nebraska made goods. Still some of the manufactur ers are a littl'j skeptical about the success of tbo movement , but they are mon who ara not fully informed as to results already I accomplished. \ Five manufacturers have joined the Manu \ facturers and Consumers' association of Nebraska , and bavo pledged thomrolvos to work for the furtherance of tbo homo pat ronage movement. * HOMi ; I'ATItOXAOE WOUKERS. Humphrey & Edgorton are enthusiastic over the movement , and wore among the first to Join the association at Hastings. They huvo a very good flour and food mill , mid like the majority of Nebraska mills are turning out a very satisfactory article. As showing what such a plant can do for a city , it may bo added that they employ eight people with a pay roll of ? 1,570 per your. Their mill furnishes a market for 100,000 bushels of wheat , 8,000 bushels of oats , and 8,000 bushels ot coru per year. The consumption of so much wheat raise * the prices on that grain from 2@8o per bushel nbovo what would bo the shipping prieo based on eastern markets. This is the usual case wherever a mill is located , and It fur- nlsbcs ono of the best arguments in fnvor of too establishment ot mills in Nebraska , as they will , in addition to tbo employment of labor raise the prlco ot grain and thus in crease the prosperity of tbo agricultural in terests of the state. Air. Edgorton of the above linn remarked i "Slnco Tin ; Bur. and our homo papers bavo taken up tbo homo patronage question wo bavo noted an im provement in our local business. People who never used a sack of Nebraska flour ask for it now. After they have tried It and fauna that it is good they keep on using It. Neoraska manufactured goods were neglected by the pcoplo largely because they wore not brought to their attention. " J. II. Hanoy & Co. , manufacturers of har ness , saddles and collars , is auotbor Hastings llrm that has Joined the Manufacturers association. Thov have Just complete I a line brick building GJxl20 ( feet , throe stories and basement , and will move into it in the couwo of about two weeks. They arc giving employment to twenty mon and are paying out In wages about .100 weekly. They ex pect to Increase tbolr force to thirty men In a very short tliuo. They manufacture a flno ) ino of goods and carry a largo and complete Block , Tbuy sell tholr goods mostly In Ne braska , though they snip some to neighbor ing states. Air. Dutton , a member of the firm , tald : "It has always boon harder work for a Nebraska manufacturer to sell to , the people of their own state than for an out- ildor who comes from some distant state. This movement , however , U bound to mauo n grant change la this respect. Tin : BBK has done a grand thing for the state in starting this horao patronage movement , and h s shown that It has a widespread Influence as It baa nrousod tbo people all over the state. < The state papers are lending their In fluence to tbo movement and the result must bo a great Doom In Nebraska manufacturing industries. " MoTagcart & McICoohan Is the stvlo of llrin engaged In tbo manufacture of cigars , The two Macs , ns they are fr.mlliarly called. are Interested In homo patroungo and bavo applied for membership In tbo association. U'heliftYO ft fine builutss and arc tmploylog ton pcoplo with a nav roll of $100 per week. It it claimed that the clgarmakors of Hast ings employ about thirty pcoplo , which is about the same number ns was employed in Omaha at the commencement of the homo patronage movement. It Is estimated that It would keep ilfty men busy to make all the cigars smoked there. It seems strange that smokers care so little for the prosporlty of the state that they will not go to the trouble of looking up some homo made brand of cigars thuj , will suit their * taste , but "continue to send their hundreds of thousands of dollars out of the state every year and then complain about dull times. Another firm to Interest itself in the homo patronage movement is the Hastings Marble and Granlto works , John Fecny & Son , proprietorAs Indicated by tbo stj lo of the llrm they do all kinds of marble and granilo work. . The business is not limited to Hast ings' , but extends to the neighboring towns as well. William Morltz is the proprietor of the Hastings Iron works and'a man who sees very plainly the necessity of doing something to build up the manufactur- mg-lntoroits of 'Nebraska. The present Is the dull season in his line of business , but bo usually employs about fourteen men with a pay-roll running at about $000 per month. Other Factories. The above mentioned are by no means ill the manufacturing establishments of Hast ings , but they are the only ones that have so far Joined the manufacturers association. Hastings has a number of other important enterprises , among which there Is a canning factory , planing mill , several cigar factories , a largo food and corn mill , oto. They have commenced paving their streets but , unfortunately for the good ot the city , they are buying the brick in St. Louis and tone In Colorado. Some 518,000 was appro priated for paving , but as the material is nil bought from distant states Hastings will receive - coivo the bouotlt of only what little money is paid out for the laving down of the pavn- mont. Tbo most of the $18,000 will go to St. Louis and bo lost to Hastings and Nebraska. It is understood that a Hastlng's company will bo In fihapo to manufacture paving brlclt next spring uad summer. Kearney Tor Home I'litroimgo. The manufacturers of Kearney are aroused on the subject of homo patronage and pro pose to take a hand In the movement inau gurated by TUB Bun. „ Kearney presents live nnmos of firms for moraoershlp in tbo manufacturers associat ion. Tboy are II. (3. Cook , cigars ; Hub Printing Company ; Charles Hornlg , brewer ; Kearney Milting and Elevator company , and Kearney Cotton Mill. Tbo people ot Koar- uoy are very proud of tholr cotton mill and if they succeed in turning out as good goods as they ftxpcct they can count upon a ready sale for their product in Neoraska. The main building ot tbo mill Is 408x104 foot , two stories In height with a wheel room Ittx'JO , engine room 00x73 , and boiler room 00x40 feet. The onglno , boilers and water power facilities are constructed on an im mense scale. They expect to commence manufacturing in March with a capacity of 20,000 yards per day of line sheeting , UGQOO inches in width. With the people thoroughly aroused on the subject of home patronage there will bo no trouble in marketing the product of the mill within the stato. Not having any statistics at hand regardIng - Ing the ICparnoy factories It is impossible to glvo them a more extended notice. Onuilm llirjg Nclmis'lm Starch. As noted earlier in the week the Beatrice Starch company has had n representative In tbo city. During the tbrco days that bo was hero bo received orders for four and a half car loads of starch frpra Omaha doalerj.lt being the largest Business over done by tbo company In any ono city. Beatrice starch was entirely unknown In this city and few people were aware that there was a starch factory In Nebraska until they road the fact In TUB DEB. Omaha dealers bought Beatrice starch without knowing anything about It only that It was made in Nebraska. The success of this Beatrlco company In Omaha proves that the people of Omaha are In earnest In their efforts to builtl up Ne braska factories by purchasing their pro duct. Besides the retail dealers who gave liberal offers , two Omaha Jobbers , Paxton & Gallagher and McCord. Brady tt Co. , made to baualo Nebraska and introduce it to their trade nil over the wo t. .iriinufiicturor-r Kxpositloii. President Page of the Manufacturers and Consumers association suggests that the association got up nn exposition next fait of Nebraska manufactured products. Ho further suggests tnat it bo held In Omaha , which would afford the manufacturers of the state a splendid opportunity of getting their goods ooforo the consumers of this city. There are enough manufacturers in the state to make a splendid exhibit and ono that ivould attract thousands , ot visitors , provided of course , that they would all take hold of the scho.no. The expense to the association would bo nothing , us the charge for admittance would more than defray all expenses. The exhibit would consist not only of the finished products of Nebraska factories , but of the raw material ns well , the different steps In the manufacture being shown by samples of the article at the uiiroront stages of manufacture. Such an exhibit properly conducted would do a great deal to bring tbo people over to the side of homo patronage aod It would uxvaka in the people of the state a now in terest In manufacturing industries. It is still early in the season , but none too early to commence discussing the subject and laying plans for carry Ing out the scheme The corn palace of Sioux City , the blue grass palace of Creston and tbo sugar palace of Grund Island tiavo all served to call atten tion to the products of western soil. An ex hibit of Nebraska manufactured products would in the same way advertise the manu facturing industries of the state and by showing the success of those Inuustrics in- auco other manufacturers to locate within tbo stato. A I'osslhlo Industry. OMAHA , Jan. . 10. To the Editor of THE BEE : Hoading-uii article in your paper in regard to Omaha's prosperity and manufac turing , oto. , I would like to say a word. Among nil tbo establishments in this city there are none that manufacture stationary and portable engines. Having coma from the east last spring and there being engaged for the last flvo years in tbo manufacture of tbo above , I know whereof I write and consider I bavo been here a sufficient length of time to look the ground over carefully. I should Judge that this city would bo a suitable and protltablo location for a company to ongngo [ n the above business. There is an extensive use for engines of small power and no donbt n fair demand. Tbo abundant crops that this state produces required a great number of threshing engines. Printing onicos , laundries , butcher shops croamaries , cheese factories and other now enterprises make the demand for onclr.os good. At present engines In this city mostly coma from tbo oast. The locution of this city Is good and the surrounding states should warrant an extensive demand and sulo of tbo above class ot engines , and I think , without a doubt , that'the name can bo manufactured at as low a llguro bore ns In the oast. Such a factory would give employment to a largo number of men who would live hero with their families and spend their earnings with tbo merchants of this city. In my opinion there is nothing that will build up n city so quickly and substantially ns manufacturing industries. Yours respect fully , J , II. MAI.MNROM.

Manager Boyd has been very fortur.nto in securing llich & Harris1 "Boys and Girls" company for one night on tholr return from a remarkably successful engagement on the Pacific coast. "Boys nnd Girls" will bo tbo attraction at Boyd's Now Theater for this ( Sunday ) ovcming only. Tuo piece was writ ten by John J. McNally , a Boston dramatist , who wrote "A Straight Tip" and several ether farce comedies. Mr. McNully has a plot In his latest creation , and his dialogue is said to bo very bright. The motif of "Boys and GirU" is , to bay the least , unique. A will has been loft which conditions the heir suull spend $30,000 In six weeks. If ho falls to do so , the sum reverts to others of his family , and now comes a pretty family squab- bio and numerous and ludicrous situations. To got rid of the money the heir purchases a bankrupt restaurant , bur even this moans of squandering the $50,000 is prevented by his relatives , who are still hankering after the monoy. Tbo flrstiact In "Boys and Girls" Is also original In conception. It takes the form of u dressmaker's establishment whero- iu there are plenty of pretty girls busy with the nccdlo and adding to tbo brightness of the comedy.
