to the fnct tlttxt there was n strong feeling
miiong the Jobbers of this city In favor of the
locution here of another wholesale dry Rood *
house , and that the right partial would no
doubt be able to secure additional capital In
this city. A few days Inter S. S Curtis re
ceived a letter from nn eastern dry goods
house , unclosing the above mentioned article
und asking what truth there might bo in the
statement.
It is learned that this jobbing house , the
name of which is withhold for the prosout , Is
very doilrous of locating in Omaha. They
have nlrondy a trade which roaches out into
lown and they believe that by coming to
Omnba thov can hold considerable of their
old trade and at the same tlmo odd to it very
materially.
The house In question has a splendid repu
tation among the trade. It is reported by 11.
G. Dun ft , Co. ns having n paid up capital
of < 3.W.OOO and rntlnrf of $ . -.00.000 to $1,000-
000. It is understood that their Idea in mov-
i , , IngtoOmuha is to secure a location more
| i lilted to the Jobbing trade aud at Iho sumo
lime Increase their capital.
' i Mr. Curtis , who has a personal acquaint-
< | unco with the members of the llrm , speaks of
them in the highest terms and of the house
as ono that Omaha can afford to put forth
\ \ great efforts to secure. "Tlu-ro is , " said the
L gentleman , "a great deal of idle capital In
If Omaha at the present time seeking invest
ment. It would scorn as if there ought to bo
notroubio ' .o secure all that might bo required -
quired to incroauo the capital stock of on old
and reliable house llko the ono In ques
tion. "

Mr. Smith of M. K. Smith & Co. , dry
goods Jobbers , said : "Thero IB room In
Omaha for another good dry goods Jobbing
houso. Omaha has a coed toirilory for
a Jobbing business. Ilosldes Nebraska
and Iowa wo have a splen
did field to the west mid north
west , reaching to Oregon nnd
Washington. The trade Is constantly im
proving In quality , wo nro selling to the
larger retail stores more than ever and each
year the retail merchants are becoming more
reluctant to go farther east for their goods
than Omaha. The growth of Omaha'a Job
bing business is phenomenal. Lust mouth
wo aid ! iyf : ( per cent more business than for
the corresponding month last year. Tbo
coming seiuon looks blighter than over.
Yes , there is plentv ot room for another dry
goods house In Omaha , mid a rood house
it would make money from the very start.Vo
would welcome such n house , ns it would
, i help our trade and would bo a good thing for
the entire Jobbing trade of the city. "
1 The name of the llrm in question boinf
mentioned , Mr. Smith continued : "I know
them well ; they nro bright business men
and their house lias a good reputation in the
dry goods trade. They would hnvo no
trouble In increasing tholr capital If they
should so desire. "
Mr. Ulbbou of W. A. L. Gibbon & Co. ,
Jobbers of hais , caps , etc. , said : "It has been
, a source of disappointment to mo that
Omaha's dry goods market Is i-o dollclont.
St. Joseph hns four diy goods bouses that
hnvo ? 1,000)00 ( ) each behind them , and they
each do a yearly business amounting to from
81,500,000 to $ ' , ' ,000,000. Minneapolis has ono
house that does fO.000,000 n year.
"At Chicago Marshall Field & Co. do
about * UO,000,000 n year , J. V. Far-
well & Co.20,000,000 , and there
are three ether houses that do in the neigh
borhood of $10,000,000 each.
"The Minneapolis house was started by
four young men with $100,000 and they now
have $1,000.000.
"Consldoiinghow prominent Omaha is ns
n jobbing point for groceries and boots nnd
shoes It is easy to bo neon that there Is room
for another dry goods house.
"Tho boused which we already have nro
good ones , but there is too much trade for
them to take care of. There was a time
when the Mississippi river towns did a good
I Jobbing business , but the trade bus moved
' westward and 1 do not bcllovo that there is
any point , north or south , that presents as
good opportunities for building up a large
jobbing Business as Omaha.
"I would like to sco a good dry
goods house come hero with a good capital
that coulu bo rapidly increased to
$1,000,000. It would bo hard work to find
any investment for monov that would pay
better than stock In such a house. "
Kxcvllrnt Opening Hurt ! .
7 . T. Lindboy , wholesale rubber boots ,
shoes , clothing , otc. : "If i had money to In
vest I would sooner place It In thu wholesale
dry goods business In Omaha than in any
thing else that I know of. Omaha dr > goods
houses are not able to take care of all the
business that comes hero. I spend consider
able time on the road and frequently hoar
merchants say that If Omaha hud a larger
dry goods market they would buy every
thing here. Omaha is the best place in the
country for n Jobbing business. My business
has Increased 50 per com over last year ; it >
growth astonishes us.
'Omaha jobbers have 1,500 miles of terri
tory to the west of them nnd L'OO
miles oast. I have no tioublo In
l | selling goods in Washington and
1 Montana. As showing how eastern Jobbers
and manufacturer ! ) look upon Omaha , I can
say that the American Kubbor Clothing
company huvo just completed arrangements
lo make thla the distributing point for their
western trade , which was forrueily handled
from Chicago. "
The name of the dry goods house which is
talking of moving to Omaha being mentioned ,
Mr. Lindsoy continued :
"I am personally acquainted with the
house In question and they are the pcoplo wo
want. They are tine gentlemen nnd able
business men. If the property owners of
lower Fiirnum btrcet would subscribe stock
and locate Unit house it would advance tholr
property enough to more than make up the
cost nf the stock and the stock would pay
well in addition. If tbo house puts in $ , ' 50-
000 capital Omaha can well afford to double
the nmount. "
ItH Ni-ml Well Knonn.
IV'r. Stone of the Dewey & Stone Furniture
Co. , who was hoard to say , not long ago ,
thai ho would give toCOO to n good house
that woula locate on lower Fanmin direct
said : "I was talking with some business
men the ether evening about the benolit to
tbo city of another dry roods bouse. The
right pcoplo would have no trouble In secur
ing plenty of capital to enlarge tholr mini
ness. Almost any line of business that you
might mention is bolter represented In
Omuba than the wholesale dry goods busl
ness. A good house would certainly do wel
to move hero and it would de the city goot
to have them como. "
Mr. Woller of the Hichardson Urup com
puny said ; "If there Is any ono thing that
Omaha especially needs U la another good
dry goods Jobbing house. Such n house
would bnnotlt the Jobbing trade of this city
more than ono can easily realize , Omaha Is
a splendid point for a jobbing business as wo
know from experience. I have uuch confi

dry goods business In this city thai I would

TOM MURRAY'S ' PROPOSITION
Ho Answers n Puzzling Question Which
Bothered tbo Pnrk Oommissionors.
GIVES LAND FOR A SOUTH SIDE PARK
( Iroitnil > rnlril In Itriulrr the Clark Trart
A\allnliln Donated by Mr. .Murray South
Hcnllnirnt In Clmnglni ; from Hyndl.
rate The Situation.
Thomas Murray , osq. , of Omaha has taken
stops that may make his n.tmo immorlnl.
Uvor since the park commissioners under
took the task , some months ngo , of selecting
lands for n south sldo purk there has been n
struggle going on between the people who
favoiod the purchase of Syndicate park and
those who favored what is known as Iho
Clark tract , oust of Tenth street and south
of Volley street , or about three-quarters of.
n mile cast of Syndicate park. The tide of
sentiment has vibrated back nnd forth
among members of the board as the enthusi
astic supporters of each proposition rallied
the citizens of the south sldo ono way
or Iho other. Of into the sentiment
has boon tending toward Syndicate park
with Increasing momentum. Several meet
ings recently hold by south sidors had almost
convinced the board that the thing to tie waste
to purchase Syndicate pnrlc and mnko the
pcoplo of the south sldo happy.
Murray TuUnn thu I.uiul.
But n sudden change hns come upon the
scone. One very potent objection to the
Clark silo tins boon ro.novod , nnd the park
commissioners now loon upon the selection
of that tract in a much moro favor.iblo light
than over boforo.
The Clark tract lies east of Tenth street
nnd nlmost directly east of the north end of
Syndicate park. The commissioners wanted
u park that should come ns far west ns Thir
teenth street nt lenst.
ftlr. Thomas Murray owns the lund that ,
lies between Tenth and olu Thirteenth
streets nnd Immediately west of thu Clark
tract. Property owners In that part of the
city have been laboring with Mr. Murray
for weeks 10 tndueo him to donate a strip of
grouud reaching from Tenth to Thirteenth
streets , but Mr. Murray contended that ho
could uot afford to part with his property
without a cash remuneration. After ponder
ing the matter carefully , however , nud con
templating the probable purchase by the
park commissioners of Syndicate park , Mr.
Murray decided to play a winning card. Ho
sent a proposition to the commissioners
yesterday offering to donaio a tract of four
acres , auo a strip of ground 120 foot wide
from IClovciith to old Thirteenth srroots ,
virtually bringing the park up to old Tulr-
lotmih street. Mr. Murray proposes to donate
nato this six acres of land provided that the
commissioners will purchase the Clark tract
and wilt call it the Murray park.
Wliat the I.nwjoni Can't Toll ,
The commissioners were favorably im
pressed with thu proposition. Between old
Thirtcotilh nnd now Thirteenth street there
is n strip of ground ninety feet wide not
owned by Mr. Murray. The commissioner *
desire to have the right of way for the 120
foot boulevard on entrance secured free of
charge through that strip. If that Is scoured
the proposition will bo given a very carolul
consideration.
Ur. Miller said that there was ono matter
the park commissioners would like to have
settled , but it was a question ever which
lawyers disagreed.
"If the commissioners know positively , "
said Dr. Miller , "lhat the owners of Syndi
cate park would not dispose of these lands in
small quantities , so as lo destroy Iho p.irk ,
but on the other hand were obliged to retain
those lands as a park , then wo eould decide
in a moment whether to recommend the pur
chase of lhat parir with public funds. Hilt
wo are told by good lawyers that
tha owners can , if they so
desire , parcel out these lands and
utlerly obliterate the park , and wo ore told
by other lawyers , equally able , that the
owners cannot dlspo&o of those lands in that
manner. Wo are anxious to do that
which is best lor the people. I believe wo
ought to have both Syndicate park and tbo
Clark tract. "
South Slilo Sentiment.
Mr. Tbotnns L. KimDall was present at the
mooting yostorduy afternoon and addressed
the board briefly. Ho said there was danger
of underestimating the necessity for public
paries. Ho favored larger parks than had
boon contemplated by the board. Ho also
favored tha purchase of a rlvo.'sido park for
the South Sldo people and thought the Clark
tract suitable.
Mr. Charles Elguttcr also addressed the
boara. Ho spoke earnestly In favor of the
riverside purk ns contemplated In the pur
chase of the W. E. Clark tract. The dona
tion by Mr. Murray , ho thought , made this a
very desirable tract of ground for park pur
poses.
The matter was discussed at length and
the board requested Mr. Clark to find out if
a right of way for the boulevard could bo
socuted through the ninety-foot strip be
tween the Murry land and Thirteenth street ,
as It Is now laid out.
Mr. John Hush , Dr. Hnnchott nnd other
South Sldn citi/.ens were prcscntto urge upon
the board to purchase the Clark and Murray
lands for a South Side park. Mr. Hush said
that after looking the ground all over the
citizens of the South Sldo hau como to the
conclusion that the Clark and Murray
lands wcro the most feasible
and practicable for park purposes.
Dr. Hanchott spoke earnestly In favor of
the Clark-Murray lands. He snid that from
thosu lands an excellent view of the city nnd
tbo rlvor valley could bo obtained. The do
nation of six acres by Thomas Murray would
bring this park right up to Thlrtnonth street
and tbo street car lino. The fact that the
Burlington road skirted the Clark tract
would mnko it an easy matter to huvo a rail
road depot at the foot of tbo purk. This
would make it doubly convenient , especially
for parties from surrounding towns who
might wish to visit , the park.
The commissioners promised thcso croatlo-
mon that they would weigh carefully all
these considerations.
thn l.ciuc.
On motion of Mr. Millard the right to con
duct a refreshment resort In the Hanscom
park pavilion , free of charge , wus granted to
Mr. W. S. Bnlduff.
Mr. Llmngar objected to letting the pavil
ion free of charge , oocauso , ho said , there
were responsible parties in the city who
would pav at least tl ,000 for the privilogo.
All members of the board , excepting Mr ,
LI nl utter , voted to grant Mr , llalduft a free
lease of tno paMlion for the coining year , '
The proposition to donate aboulovard ; run
ning from Ambler Place around past Huscr't
park , Elmwood park and up through Dundee
to Hamilton street was submitted und the
commissioners decided to go nut some day
soon and traverse the route of the proposed
boulevard before accepting it.
A proposition was received from Mr. A , J ,
Poppletnn and Mr , J. M. Woolworth olforlnj ;
to sell nine acres of land at Sulpher Spnngt
lor tr)0,000. The commissioners were not
favorably impressed with the proposition.
Some other lands wcro oflerou for pat k pur
poses ut various prices , but , inasmuch us they
were farther from the heart of the city than
tbo lands alrcnuy recommended by the
board the Parkorana Dlstln tracts no au
tlon was taken upon the propositions rccontl' '

commissioners that tbocouncll dld'uot wish

Indifference *
The indifference and willing
ness on the part of consum
ers to purchase adulterated
articles because they arc
offered at a lower price , lias
become so general that many
grocers find it difficult to han
dle pure products. If cus
tomers will understand that
the cheap arc always the
adulterated , aqd will pay the
fair cost of a ; genuine article ,
they will Icnfl the only help
ing hand tl\at \ will secure a
radical reformation. It is a
fact that tharc is no class of
articles used In the prepara
tion of food , tjiat is so com
monly and systematically
debased as flavoring extracts.
The manufacturers of Dr.
Price's Delicious Flavoring
Extracts invpkc the cooper
ation of consumers to stay
the tide of evil now sweeping
over the market.
