n.atu-r As has lieem noted for wrnie time
past tbo movement of poods from tills iKtlnt
In a lobum ? way It not very active. In some
lines there is a fuir business doing but that
is about the most that can bo ( tatd of ani
line vvhilr some are iwsitirol.v qulut. It is
not a MTuasy nutter to explain Just why
busim ss should be In the present condition
ns the c 'nnil situation throughout the ter-
morv mbuttir } to Omaha dods not appear
to present unj features that would lead one
to , inii < i pate a dullness In business. There
\ no en at scarcity of monov , as farm crops
havebfcn bringing peed prices and the
farmers , have had something to sell that has
boon biiiitrins ; in tnone.v all the sea ton
In M.IIIC sections of the state bad roads nre
undoubtedly outline a ver } important lipure
Hi.iv.v roads in Mine sections have made it
am fist impossible1 for the farmers to pet Into

a pte-at disad tintueo to the local retail
dcurs With the continuance of peed
vf.it her the mads will soon improve so as to

tin ground will be in shape so that the
J.uiiH-rs will be able to commence their

Oiniibn Coiniiieirlul Club.
Business men hare boon discussincr to a
ver.v consiilcrablp extent the now Commer
cial club that is bctnp orpanired in the city
While there appears to be a wide difference
of opinion as to Just ttie line of work that
such an orpanization should map out foi
itself and as to Just how the organization
hhoulO he managed there appears to bo nc
difference as to the neccsbitj of some organ
ization of the kind
Business men v ho have taken the tiaid tc
become Informed as to the plan of organiza
tion do not hesitate to pronounce it as bcmc
the best plan ever culled to their attention.
At the present time there are about ! IOO mem-
hois who have signed the roll , and as soon
us the membership reaches 500 one of the
first moves will be to cmplov a commissioner
to look after transportation matters of all
kinds as uffectitifr the citj of Omaha.
Business men. professional men , salaried
men. atul in fact all citizens that me inter
ested in the w elfare of Omaha are eligible
to mombuship. Some of the jobbing houses
arc lalUmsr about havinp thcirtravelmp men
nil Join The club is controlled by a board ol
directors numbctinp 100 and leprcscutinp all
the dlffei cut business interests of thecitj.
The direi tois elect an executive committee
which is the working both of the club The
plnn of organization contemplates the forma-
tlon of buieaus to represent the most im
portant branches of business in the sity. As
for example the mauufactui : > ill probably
hnvo a bureau that vvill give its special at
tention to the nmmilacturinp interests
o : the city and the jobbers will
have a huieati that will devote its
energies to watchinir over the Jobbing
interests of the cit.v. Other important
interests 'vill bo represented in the saint
vvaj "Wlun n question comes up it tan hi
referred to the bureau that is especially in
terested in it and be settled there , or if it it
of bufllt lent importance it can be referred t <
the whole club
It is proposed to flt up the upper storj o :
the Board of Trade buildinp. if the same cat
bo leased , for club rooms. The.v propose tt
have u lunch counter where either a chcai
lunch or tin expensive dinner can be ot >
tained and then induce as many of the bus !
IILSS men of the cit.v as possible to takeluncl
there This w ill bring the business men to
pother and create a closer footing amour
them that will tend to make them a unit 01
all matters pertaiuinp to the advaucemeu
of the citj
A part of the floor can be divided up inti
Email committee rooms wheie diffcrcn
committees can meet during the lunch hou
and discuss anj matter that thej uiav haM
in hand
There - \ \ ill also be a reading or w iiltiui
room vv hei e business men can meet on a ]
] iointiiK'iit or where salesmen can take thei
customers when thej come to town
Those w ho are working up the member
Bhip of the club have had an architect ex
fktmno the upi > er floor of the Board of Trad
building and ] t has been pronounced to b
well calculated for the purpose.
On Monday luntti will ho served at th
Board of Trade rooms to which n larg
number of business mci. will bo iuvited , fo

A dose observer remarks that if the

" 1 was in a grocery store that h.is just been
opened up w ith a new stock of goods. ' said
the speaker "The stock was put in by one
of Omaha's leading vvholesale grocers There
were two kinds of soap and two kinds of
laundrj starch , but none of them of Ne
braska manufacture. There were pickles
put up in a far eastern citj , extracts from
some- other place , two or thiee brands of
roasted coffee , but none bearing a local
name1 , a full HUP of cereals not mace in
Nebraska and cigars , that never saw a
local iactorj In the whole stock of
goods there was just one line that was of
home manufacture , and that was the Hour
which was Mild direct to the merchant bj
the manufactuiur When I asked the gro
cer why he had not put in homemade goods. "
cjintmuod the speaker , "he explained
that he had never been in the busi
ness before and had allowe-d the jobber to flt
him out with a stock of goods It is the
same all over the state , a new merchant haste
to sell out his hrst stock of goods bcfoie a

The last issue of the Paper Trade contains
the particulars of a new mdustr ; that may
lie of considerable interest to Omaha About
the onlj portion of a beef that is not utilized
at a pai king housp is the contents of the
paunch Henry .1 Bird , a former citi/.cn of
Omaha , has patented a method for working
up the so-called paunch manure into straw
paper or straw-board. A compan.v ofi capital
ists has been formed to put the new method
into practice and it is said that GV Simp
son , formerly at the head of the Hammond
Pnckinp company , and who is quite well
known at South Omaha , if one of the interested -
e-sted parties Mr. Bird estimai . that the
mute-rial obtained from each beef will make
tea or twelve pounds of good No. - strawboard -
board Mr Bird writes TUB BEE.It is my
intention to build a mill in South Omaha ,
and we are piepaied to begin work upon the
erection of a mill there at out e , if all the
pae.ters inteiested in this waste material
will make suitable contracts with us. Mr.
Michael Cuduh } , representinp the Cudahj
Packing compan.v , und the officers of the
Hammond company have stated tttit they
are w illmg to co-operate with us , but Messrs.
Swift & Co . as yet , have made no decision
cither way in the matter. There are no
Omaha capitalists interested in the enter
prise We have ample capital to build at
ever.v large be > ef sluuphtering center , and
will not seek for local capital. About $ T > 0-

The Kearney Plowman criticisescry
sharply those jobbcis who go about the
state asking for the business of the retail
merchants on the ground of home patronage ,
but who. at the same time , ship in from the
outside all thengoods. . Attention , is es
pecially called to the recent shipment
of a train load of Hour into the
state from Minneapolis. The Plowman savs
in part : Omaha , as the natural jobbing point
of the state , has set up the claim that couu-
trj merchants owed it to the prosperitj of
the state at large to patronize homo indus
tries In making the ir pun bases from Omaha
factories and jobbers instead of going to St
Tx > uis or Chicago This claim is Jusllj made
bj the Oraiina houses , and the Plowman
urges it on all its friends to CJIIT.V out this
plan in so far us it lies in their power But
while we do this , wouldn't it bo well to stop
a moment and ask what Omaha , as the com
mercial center of the state , is doing for the
balance of Nebraska ? And right now wo
haven point in questionSurclj thp state
of Nebraska has mills cnouph and wheat
enoiiirh to lurnish all the flour consumed in
her borders Slip makes as good flour and ns
cheap as an.v place in the land Why
then instead of shipping our wheat out
of the state and closmcr up one-half out
mills , can't Omaha jobbing houses buy ut
home instead of poinp to Minneapolis' What
inteiest bus Minneapolis in Nebraska' The
balance of the Mate feels a friendly interest
in Omaha and il is natural we should do all
we can to help upburid her , but the least we
could ask would be for Omaha to return the
favor hj helping to build up the balance of
the state
