NEBRASKA MANUFACTURERS Where Shall the Next Exposition beHeld Hold ? MANUFACTURERS WHO NEED MORE ROOM < \ctlvo MrmliPM of the Amnrlittlon ynlotly / UlnrmnhiKlliol'rnrtlcBblllljrnl ' , / < Izinffnn i : jioMllnn Company nn rutting Up n Iliiildliitr. "Whore shall wo hold our next exposi tion I" Is the question that Is golnc the rounds among tbo members of the Manu facturers. nd Consumers Association of Nebraska. The last oxpoiltlon was largely In tbo nature ol nn experiment , and a good many manufacturers were afraid that it would bo n failure , nnd would take no part In It Many of these who did exhibit made a very small allowing of goods , this occupy ing llttlo space , ns tboy did not realize the Importance of bringing their product to the attention of the consumers. In splto of these circumstances , the coliseum building where tbo exposition wns hold , was crowded full and not a vacant space for exhibits loft. After it wns seen what a great success had been made of the exposition , these who re mained oiit , vowed that they would bo in it next time. These who made small exhibits of goods declared that next tlrao they would have machinery lu operation nnd carry on tbo actual work of manufacture , the sauio as was done by the manufacturers of overalls , shirts , shoes , barbed wire , etc. Tboso who made largo exhibits declared that they nnd received an immense amount of benefit 111 the way of advertising and that ttioy would muko n still greater effort next tlmo. Then too the association ba boon growing nnd the proipccts are that It will have on its rolls doiiolo the number of members by the tlmo the next exposition is hold. This behiF in brief the situation the nc- tlvo members nro asking themselves how they nro irolmj to accommodate almost double the number of exhibitors that they had last tlmo , , uud give cacli ouo of thorn larger space , and still got them oil Into tbo Coliseum building. An addition might bo built to the Coliseum building If the owners saw lit to go to that expense , but oven then it would fall far snort ot what Is required , in the first place It Is claimed that It is Inaccessible , being located to ono side and out of roach of all the street cur lines excepting tbo cablo. As the .street car company docs not Issue transfers it makes It too expensive for monet ot moderate means nud largo families to at tend. Tbeso nnd otbcr reasons bavo led to the suggestion that Omaha can never acquire any great prominence ns nn exposition or convention city until she has a larger build ing located In n moro omissible part of the olty nnd one tbat can bo used for expositions or largo assemblies of any kind. It has been suggested that that part ot the inS bounded by Ninth and Seventeenth nnd Howard and Davenport streets would bo the most desirable location , as it would bring tbo building within easy walk ing distance of all the car lines of tbo city , including tbo Council Bluffs lino. Thrli1'laiis. . .While no doflnlto plans have been formu lated , the subject has boon quietly dis cussed among the members , nnd some sot them have gone so far as to look up the expo sition building question in other "cities. 0It Is generally agreed that the building should not bo a giftuntornrlsa Ida and that no dona tions should bo asked for from citizens. The usual method is to organize a stock com pany , placing the shares at say $ ' 2. > each , and thoii Boll enough stock to put tip tbo build ing. Each share of stock entitles tbo lighter to a vote , and bonco a share in tbo mafaigo- inont of the exposition building. A board roof management would bo cioatcd , and the manu facturers or ethers who might bavo use for iho building would lease it from thorn. Those who hnvo been giving Iho subject attention are of tbo opinion that $30,000 to $50,000 would put up a suitable building ad tbat it could bo inudo to pay the stockholders a fnlr.prodtoc tboir investments. So far the talk has been of leasing bono ground for the building Instead of attempt ing to raise tbo money to buy it outright. A manufacturer remarks that if some party having suitable property which bo was willing to lease on reasonable terms was to como.to the front with a good proposition it might help to get tbo thing started. Lincoln .Miinnr Mr. Stewart of Lincoln , vice president of tbo Manufacturers association , is creating considerable interest In the homo patronage gene movement in that city. Ho has induced some of the newspapers to take up tlio subject and has strong hopes of bringing the consumers into lino. It has boon suld that Lincoln is ono of the hardest cities in hole state in whiob to sell goods of Ne braska mauulacturo. Lincoln manufacturers irs have Homotlmcs observed that It was lor for them to soil their goods In Omaha an it was to soli them to their own people. The elegant trade which some of the Lincoln manufacturers have obtained In Omaha as u direct result of tbo homo patronage move ment has convinced them of the value of ogitntmcr the subject and they uroposo to make strong efforts to Interest tlfoir people in tbo question. They are asking consumers to buy not only the goods mndo in Lincoln > but such as are mudo in Omnlm and other cities of the state that huvo bcon buying liberally of Lincoln. ng ructory I'McIs , The Now York Hat Review , n paper pub lished In tbo interest nf the hat trade and n recognized authority In that line , reproduces & paragraph from Tun 11 uc to the effect that Omaha should have n lint factory and then ndus : "Wo command this to tho' attention of our rcudow , knowing that the people of Omaha nro extremely enterprising and ready to advance the interests of any manufac turer wto may locate in that city. " The Re view might have added that thoroisavory ctrong bontiment in Nebraska In favor of buying of homo manufacturers and that n bat factory located at Omaha would have almost the entire trade of tlio state to start with. The people of Omaha do net bcliova very much in the plan of attracting manu facturers by offering a bonus but they make n strong point of furnishing a market for the output of the factories that do come. iThoW.

WiltT IU f/O/MJ O.V iff KhKClHlVlTl't The employment of vibrations ot varying frequency IIRS Dooomo rccogolzod ns n vnlu * ublo lhorapoutla ngont. Ono of the first ( effects noted In the early development of this treatment was n local nniuitliciln suf ficiently pronounced to render the pnttont insensible to the prick of a noodle. That this ntnuuhosla Is not confined to the sur- fnco Is proved by the pairtlois dental oper ations that have been performed under Its Influence. M. .1. P. Michaels relates that when experimenting with tbo electric rod dlupason , which Involves the principle of mechanical vibration , ho was able to produce local niiioithosln by applying Iho button of tbo apparatus to the gums halfway up the roots of the tooth , ana to perform one of the most painful of dental operations , that of extracting tbo lh'6 norvoa from the tooth , without the patient fooling any pain. This principle bos now bean further applied in Paris by Prof. Charcot. Finding that me chanical vibration had a inaruea effect In soothing the nerves Prof. Cbarcot con structed a now helmet for the transmission of vibrations to the bend. This device re sembles an undent helmet and U raadoof sbuots'of stool which permit the top of the bead to bo thoroughly Inclosed , Mounted upon this helmet Is a ninull alternating current motor , making about 000 revolutions per mlnutiAt each revolution n uniform vibration U transmitted to metallic springs insldo tlio helmet and thus communicated to the skull against which the springs press. Tbo walls of the skull are thus vibrated In their entirety , mitt the vibrations , naturally , aictruimmiucd to tne cerebral structure. The number and intensity of tbo vibrations can bo varied according to the p.itlont treated , nnd the sensation is said lo bo not disagree able , especially ns the machlno produces n rumbling sound which tends to benumb tbo locality. At the end ot some minutes the patient oxptrloiico3 general lussltudo uud nn Inclination to raposo and tlio immediate effect Is to throw nervous people nud tnoso allllcied with insomnia Into u peaceful and refreshing slumber. * * An Ingouius grocer who had In vain tried all mnnncrof methods for clearing his store from the nuisance of Hies , has shown him- soli" to bn well up with the time1 ? by starting nu electrical lly trap. This Is iirlvon by an electric motor and consists of a band smeared with some sweet substance on which the Hies alight , and on which they are carried along nud swept Into a wire trap. Prof. Kllliu Thomson's now telephone sys tem has excited much interest. Instead of a continuous dynamo or battery power , the alternating current ti used with alterna tions of very low periods thirty-two per second , or thereabouts. Alt local batteries nro dispensed with , the system having n closed circuit of great lloxibillty , und It need not bo grounded at all if desired. The an nunciators nt the oxchaiigo are worked by the simple act of lifting off the telephone , wbich momentarily opens the circuit. This system does not nppoar to have been prac tically applied to any exchange , but any now system tbat promises to obviate the neces sity for the costly and elaborate plant now in use In tolbphoiin exchanges Is lint liltoly to remain long untested , A now form of windmill for electrical purposes has boon invented by Prof. J. Blyth. Prof. Blytb , who has devoted much attention to tbo subject of the utilization of wind power for olcctrlo storage , tound that tuo ordinary form of windmill would nn- swor very well for this purpose so long ns the wind had a moderate spoad , but , like all ether windmills , it had either to bo self- reeling or stopped altogether when the heavy brcczs came. This was obviously very "unsatisfactory , as tbo beat of the wind for storage purposes was thus lost , and tuo problem tbat then presented Itself was to construct a windmill that would satisfy the following requisites : First , it must always be ready to go. Second , It must go without attendance for lengthened periods. Third , it must go through the wildest gale and ba able to take full advantuco of it. Tboso re quirements were met by tbo machlno linallv devised by Prof. Blytb , In which semi-cyl indrical boxes are attached to four strong arms , each about 20 feet long , the open ing of each , box being 10 foot by (5 ( feet , nnd tbo vertical shaft i ? a long rod of iron , flvo Inches in diameter. At Its lower end It carries n massive pit wheel , which actuates the train of gearing and drives the lly wheol.slx feet m diameter , with the rcauisilo speed for driving the dy name , connected with it bv a bolt in the Ordinary way. This machine is found to work most satisfactorily , and with a fair wind speed gave about two electrical horse power. Prof. Blyth maintains that electri I- cal windmills , ut least for 'small installa tions are likely to assume this form , us there is no limit to the si/o utid strength with which they may ba constructed , and , if nec essary , several could bo placed in any well exposed position , each having its own dynamo nnd set of accumulators. Windmills are found to present special advantages when applied to the lighting of lighthouses , which ara always in exposed situations whore wind is plentiful , and often in such remote plncos that stores and conl for gener ating electrio llgh In any otbor way could only be sent with diflicutty. To tbo lighting of country houses the use of accumulators IS conjunction with windmills ISpd Is spiclally ap plicable , ns t.iu ) system is very cleanly and , can bo adopted without tbo trouble of much attendance.

To the tidltorof Tun BEK : In Sunday's ' DEI : of October 2 an nrticlo ap peared In the secret society column giving the facts regarding a concerted effort among the rank and Hie of the Southern jurisdiction Scottish Ulto Alisons to bring about n much desired change in form of government In their jurisdiction. It bo'.ng monarchical their desire Is to make It conform to tbo govern ment ! n which they live. Ttiis Is as It should bo and cannot full to re ceive the endorsement of all who bollova that sovereign power should bo exercised by rep resentatives elected by the nooplo. Free America is not tbo place to propagate to uny considerable extent the principles of an aris tocratic government. I taico exceptions , however , to the historical part of the article in question us erroneous and misleading. Tlio writer , evidently n member of the Southern jurisdiction , says : "In the United States there are two jurisdictions of Scottish Uito Masonry , the Northern and the South ern , " nnd fails to moiuion the United Stales of America , their Territories and Dspendun- cios , a jurisdiction wh.jh has fully three times the membership of the Southern juris diction and Is a purjly representative body , all the officers , from the highest to tuo low est , being elected mutually. There Is at present represented In the gov ernment of Scottish Kite Masonry in the United States three systems of government monarchical , represented by the Southern jurisdiction ; autocratic , represented by the .Northern jurisdiction and democratic , repre sented by tbo United State ? jurisdiction. The writer is also In error regarding tbo graudcastof the Northern jurisdiction. He says "thn Northern jurisdiction has head quarters : itNow York. " while Now York Is the grand east for the United States of Amorica.thclr Territorips and Dependencies , and Boston is the grand east for the North ern jurisdiction and Washington , D. C. , is the grand east for the Southern jurisdiction. Tbo writer's reference to a division of ter ritory between tbo Northern nnd Southern jurisdictions in nowise uffocls.tua torritorynf the United States of America , their Territo ries und Dependencies , which is no loss than tnelr name indicates ; nor could they make a division of territory if so inclined , as they rigidly adhere to the old original constitu tion of 1702 for their govorninont in this particular and that document prohibits moro than ono central head of Scottish Ulto Ma sonry In any one government , while the Northern and Southern Jurisdic tions are both working under tha forged constitution of ITStl which is made for con- u vontenco to allow two central heads in the United States nnd herein Is the cause nf Scottish Ulto Masonry in the United States existing In factions at the preseut time. General Albert Pike , while llvinc , could not locognizo the United States juris diction working under the constitution of 1702 , as , using bis own language , it meant for blmubdicatlon , therefore those conditions word made absolute , out it woud | now seem ' that there la no longer any nocessty for this state of affairs to exist In the Auciont.and . j Accepted Scottish Kite in the United States , and it i to bo hoped that for tbo good of the Kilo and Masonry in general that such legis lation will bo effected in the near future as to bring the factions together under ono cen tral head in tbo United States , according to the original plan and as It exists In otbor countries. The adoption of a representative form of govorninont will have a tendency to muko rapU .strides In this direction. AI.BXANIIKII ATKIS OS , 'S33. Deputy for Nebraska , U. S. A. T. nnd D. A.

Connor , grand bocrntary of the prnnd lodge of Tennessee , 1ms written 10n highly Interesting account of his European trip and visit to Masonic lodges , n ( it-eat Britain and ou the continent. Tlio.articlo referred to Is illustrated tov by diagrams show ing the position of ofllcers nud appointments In the various lodges visited.Alluding LOIn tbo diagram of the Italian lodge , Brotbor Connor says : . ' ' "it will bo observed tbat an altar Ilka as In America is usoa In Italy. Indeed , the general arrangement is quito like tbo American. ro are slight variations in ana ts of other lodgorooms visited , but tboso may bo accepted as the standard. The rooms nro small , few capable of sealing moro than fifty brethren. In England hotels usually build lodeorooms in their upper stories , and t > Idv oral lodges assemble therein without the payment of rental. Tbo hotels are com pensated by tbo brethren dining filter the conclusion of business. And tills dining , In full evening dress and in Masonlo olotul'ig | , and Jewels , maybe set down as the universal ' custom of English Freemasonry , la Ger many the hotel custom does not prevail irto any great extent , and lodges either own or of lease their rooms. Dinner or an always served , as lu Kngland , and oblolly In halls attached to the rodeo- ' rooms. In Italy the custom does not prevail at all. Loagorooiiis are loascd , as a rulo.iuid dining without Masonlo clothing ocours idnt restaurants. Intelligent American Masons nd no dlfllculty In making themselves known in Europe. But no attempt should bo made to visit u ledge without llrat receiving un Invitation to dp so from tbo sec retary. Tbo American wiiy of going to the to recop'tlon room uud sending in your card Is unknown in Europe. English and continen tal Masons own their own aprons and bo sarao along with them when VI . _ .

Thai retiring past master installs bis successor and then presents the remaining oQlcors [ or of investment by the master. The ion ceremony is secret nnd is vastly superior to tbo ceremony wo use in America. The lyler always proposes the last toast ot a Masonlo art dinner. "Tho rituals of tbo continent of Europe and of tbo British Isles are different from of each other , the latter inoro nearly approach ing tboso of the United States.

Is called the electric light bug In Oniuhn , nnd n very common impression Is that It is the product of the light. Of course. it existed before , tout tt had its own haunts remote from these of man nnd It minded its own business until n mysteriously beautiful white gleam lured it out to Its destruction. On n ouo day's round with the employe of the electric llj.ht company who supplies fresh sticks of carbon , an entomologist would bo able to secure a bettor collection than with years of nosing nuout with his not. The trouble is that tbo speci mens are not perfect. The terrible current Iris torn them limb from limb , nnd only now and then is a complete specimen round nmone the masses of porgeouslv colored wings nnd bodies. Almost every well known variot.v of lly and beetle Is found in thn heap brushed out of each glebe In the morning nnd very rare specimens nro fonnd or.ly to bo ground into the dust or blown away by the wind. The great bulk of mass taken from the globes Is made up of the varieties which In former times p'ut a vote on uny such thing as reading by lamp light bcildb un open window.

This is all changed now if them Is an are light some where near. The bugs leave us to our own devices and sail away to get electrocuted. Ono huge beetle which is usually taken from the lamps is now as the haivk moth or sphinx , the adult form of the tomato cater pillar. It is four inches iu length nnd ono of tuo most horrible looking of monsters to any one except an entomological crank who can see beauties in tbo slimiest of crawling things.
