r It having been noised about for some
lime past that there would bo some
changes In connection with the largo
establishment of the People's Mammoth
Installment house , which for years has
boon known as ono of the largest house
furnishing concerns in the west , a re
porter of Tim HKU called yesterday
afternoon at Nos. 1:115-1317 : Farnam
ttroot seeking information.
Mr. U. Hosenthal , president nnd general -
oral manager of this house , when ques
tioned , very crlndly staled the facts of
the ease. Said ho : "While it Is true
on January 1st wo propose to Incorporate
under the name of the People's Furni
ture & Cnrpct conwny , there will bo no
Other changes , excepting all our dopnrt-
immts will bo enlarged , numerous now
departments will bo added nnd alto
gether wo propose to carry on the busi
ness in the future on a much more ex
tensive ccalo than over before.
"Tlio expected early awakening of
trade in tlio near future aud our pros
perous business in the i.past. notwith
standing the financial depression of the
last six months , induced the directors at
a mooting recently called , to lake "Timo
by the Forelock , " add new capital nnd
enlarge the business. H addition to
this , it was decided that all of our in
terests wona ! be best promoted by a
change of title , which would better
represent the more extensive business
plans proposed , consequently 'our linn
immo wan changed to take effect January
1. Ills simply tllis aminothing more1 , '
added Mr. Kosontlml. v
The People's Mammoth Installment
house began business about 1880 at No.
013 North 10th St. , nnd their manner of
doing business met with such public
approval,1 that each year they increased
their quarters by the addition of an
other building , until in 181)1 ) , they oc
cupied the entire block on 10th street be
tween California and Webster streets.
In May , 1891 , their building was do-
Btroycd by fire and about three months
later they removed to their present
quarters , which in addition to their
warehouse in the rear , running through
to Hartley street , gives them the pres
tige of being the largest establishment
of its kind-in the city.
Their trade , which is wholesale and
. retail , extends not only in Nebraska ,
but all through western Iowa , North
nnd South Dakota , Wyoming and Cole
rado.

A liooil .Move ,
In conversation with a well known
farmer of northern Nebraska the other
day , it was incidentally learned that his
success was duo to a good move made by
him several years ago when ho loft a
rented farm in an eastern state and cnmo
to Nebraska with iv determination to get
a farm of his own. This ho succeeded
in doing In the northern portion of the
etato at a very low price per acre , and
by careful methods ho has accumulated
a property which yields lilm a coniform-
bio income ,
Ills example has been followed by
many of his eastern friends and all are
pleased with the success mot with on
Nebraska farms. IIo further stated that
thcro was still much cheap deeded land
for sale along tlio line of the Fremont ,
Elitliorn & Missouri Valley railroad , and
also considerable free government land
tributary to the land olllcos located at
Nollgh , O'Neill ' , Valentino and Clmdron ,
Nob. , on the Kaino road. Experience is
the best teacher and wlthsnon examples
libforo him , any farmer who means busi
ness cannot make a mistake by follow
ing this nuin'B example. Ono can pro
cure absolute ownership to a good farm
there for what it costs to rent a farm in
Illinois or Iowa fo > - about two years.
Before selecting a location , write J.
E. Huchnnau , Omaha , Nob. , for a guide
pivlng valuable statistics which nro
helpful in selecting.
Perhaps you can trade your preeont
possessions for ono of thcee farms.

immense amounts of money. And just

This paper has surely touched a re

art portfolio olTuriiijtr. Men nnd women ,
youths and maidens , nnd even children ,
visit this olllcovith tholr coupons and
secure the portfolio. They do not come
by ones and twos , but by the dozens and
scores. They don't seoin to be able to
got them quickly enough , and nn ox-
clamatlon lo satisfaction generally fol
lows the handing over of the coveted
views. In fact , there doesn't bcoin lo bo
much of anything insight at present ex
cept the tiri portfolios. Other cheap ex
position pictures may be olTorcd , but the
people don't ' want them at any price since
they know that the views in the art port
folios from the United States govern
ment photographs are the authentic and
proper thing.
The main point is to got those as fast
ns they tire issued and to got them all.
Nothing is easier than this. It costs but
a little trouble. It is indeed but a labor
of love , which can bo divided up among
the entire household. for instance ,
the father subscribes for and brings
homo the paper , the children clip the

sary dime , and the daughter , when out
shopping , drops Into the art portfolio
department and this paper ( iocs tfto

just enough to add /.est to the enjoy
ment of the superb views and endear
them to the entire family circle , where
they will remain for inspection many
times over , the portfolios forming a

Yesterday afternoon tlio county com
missioners were culighcanod to some extent
with regard to the wants of tlio poor of the
county , ami from the report of County A cnt
Burr , they gleaned ilia fact that the number
of applicants forcharitv was much greater
than at the sumo date last season.
In subniittiu ; ; iisurcs , tlio agent stated
that durini ! the mouth ot December , 1SUJ ,
groceries aggregating S-14'.79 ) were furnished

sixteen ilays of D-ic-cmber of this year the
amount roac'ieil WHO.00. During the month
of December , ISiU , the county gave out
8'J'J3.f)0 ) worth of coal , while during the llrs > t
sixteen days of December , IS'JI ! , the aggre
gate ivaohcd 782. Burr concluded "that
during the present month it would require
from $2K'J ( ) to § -Jf , > OJ to supply the neces
saries , and that next month the amount
would have to bo doubled.
The whole matter was referred to the
committee on charity ror investigation anil
action.
A committee reported that in the collec
tion of city and village taxes the treasurer
had exacted the sum of $100.H5 moro than
the legal amount from the cities and towns
in the county. By resolution the amount
was ordered refunded to the respective
municipalities.
Dr. K. M. Parr asltcd that ho be appointed
to the position of county physician. His re
quest was placed with a lot of other applica
tions to be considered nt a later date.

OMAHA'S ' IDLE MSN.
Urgnnl/.cil-l.iil ) r Rir.nij Itrttcr Tlrxn Un-
nrviinlxcil Some StutlstU" * .
It is very hard to secure raliablo statistics
regarding the unemployed of the organized
trades In the city ns thcro are several of the
unions and assemblies which have no regu
larly delegated statistician , and part of
those which have might as well have none
for all the work they do in the line of keep
ing a register of the unemployed. This is a
part of the work which they have not been
required to do heretofore , as usually the
organized trades wore nearly , If not all ,
working.
It Is found now , by close observation , that
the organized worklngmsn are generally
faring better than unorganized men , there
fore the statements following may bo con
sidered as the very brightest side of the
question of the unemployed In Omaha ,
which is now becoming a very serious ques
tion.
tion.Out
Out of about HOD hodcarrlers twenty-five
are working. Ono-hn4f of the tin. sheet iron
and cornice workers of union No. Hare idle.
Two-thirds of the pattern makers are work
ing. Ono hundred printers arc idle , about
llftv of whom got from ono to two days'
work each week through the kindness of
those who have steady work. Printers
have a rule which prevents a man working
more than six days each week , and a man is
considered hoggish who will not lay on" ono
of the six days to give an Idle member a
chance to earn something to buy bread '
with.
Thirty-two stationary firemen are idle.
Throc-fourt.ns of the coopers are at work.
All cigar makers are working but throo.
This speaks well of the Increased patronage
of Omaha made cigars. The bricklayers are
doing as well this winter as common , the
worlt at the fort having helped the local
bricklayers out considerably.
Most of the tailors are working this weak ,
but they have b3en oj > about half time dur
ing the entire year. They are not expecting
much worlc through January and February.
The rooks' assembly has about twelve idle
members. The electrical workers arc doing
reasonably we'll. Joe workers have very
little to do. Several of the saddle and har
ness makers have goao to dolug odd Jobs ,
work in their trade being so meager. One-
third of the plumbers and gaslHtcrS'.hnvo
nothing to do. Out of the " ,5 painters and
decorators , llfty are working. Forty bar
bers are idlo. About twenty of them get to
work on Saturday and Sunday. Fivd hun
dred girls and women wno usually work in
stores , offices , factories , etc. , are doing
nothing. Out of about 700 carpenters , less
than ISO are working. Boiler makers
are doing reasonably well although abort
time has affected them somo. The1 clerks
union has no idle mcmbors. Tlio union
horseshnors are nearly all at work. Out of
sixty-four upholsterers and mattress makers
of Knights of ijtibpr assembly No. 37-1 ;
thirty-one are working , and that on shortoi
time than usuil. The machine wood workers
arc practically all idle who have not gene to
doing something else. Knights ot Labor as
sembly No. 4.5W has about two-fifths of its
membership idlo. Seven hundred men who
usually work for railroads tjiro idle. Some
estimates are higher. This is a conserva
tive estimate. Three-fourths of the carriage
and wagon workers are woi king. There are
about 100 idle waiters. The plasterers have
nearly all gone south. The brewery workers
are nearly all working. Generally speaking
the prospects are not very bright for the
idle workers. Several are expecting to se
cure worlt at putting up ice. Many of the
men who have been making from $ - to $11
pnr day heretofore are now catching odd
jobs at anything to earn a little money.
A general meeting of the Knights of
Labor of Omaha will.bo held next week to
eonsidefmcasures to provide some kind of
substantial relief for the unemployed. The
date and place of meeting has not yet been
fixed.
Knights of Labor assembly , No. .1141. held
a very Interesting meeting Friday night
which was wellattcndcd. Tlio nextiiieotingof
assembly , which will bo held next Friday
evening , will be the mooting for the election
of nulcers , and the full membership is ex
pected to turn out , an the contests for onlces
In this assembly Is always heated. The
assembly decided to renew its membership
in the Nebraska State Labor congress nnd
will elect ono delegate ut their next regular
meeting.
If any ono in Omaha believes yet that the
Knights of Labor discriminate against color
they can have tlielr minds disabused of that
belief by visiting the cook's Knights of
Labor assembly , whU'h moots In Knights of
Labor hall every Monday evening. Any
person of good moral character unking n
living at cooking and luirly proficient in
that art ia entitled to moinuorship in this
assembly , whether they bo white or black ,
green or yellow. The muster workman of
this assembly is n colored man and the
worthy foreman a whlto man. The record
ing secretary is colored and the treasurer
white. In fact , In the selection of olllcers
and committees every man stands
upon his own merits , race having
nothing whatever to do with
his chances for promotion. They hold Inter
esting meetings and a pleasant ovonlng is
guaranteed to visiting members every Mon
day evening. This assembly will glvo a
southern banquet at Knights of Labor hall ,
