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. In the cast in "Boys and UirlsJ1
are those great favorites , the Trvvin sisters ;
that prince of dialect story tellers , George F.
Marion ; the versatile dancer , Ignulio Mnr-
tlnettl , who , t.s a French chef , in act two , Is

At the Parnam street theater Monday
night Mr. N. S. Wood begins mi engagement

and Is from tbo pan of Con T. Murphy , who
lias heretofore confined himself to writing
Irish comedies. This latest oltort of his has
oeon accorded high praise hy eastern critics ,
and will bo presented hero with all the
special scenery and Intricate mechanical de
vices so necessary to a successful production
of the modern melodrama. The sots Include
views of "Battery Park1' ' at sunset , a "Water
Street Tenement " nnd "Tho
