OPERATES OMAHA'S ' OIL MILL

Since the location of the Armour packing
plant at South Omaha the most Impo.-tant
event In a business way 1 the decision of
the company controlling the linseed oil fac
tories of the west to ccntrall/o Its western
business at Omaha. For some time the com
pany has had such a move under considera
tion , the only question being as to the point
to bo selected for carrying out the enter
prise. Recently ex-State Senator Hirst of
Lcavenworth was Pent to Omaha to look Into
the situation , and as a result of his Investi
gations this city was the point decided upon.
Mr. Hirst Is now hero , In charge of the
Woodman Linseed Oil mills , as president and
treasurer , with Miles M. Anderson a secre
tary , and the mills at St. Joseph , Topcka ,
Atchlson and Leavcnworth will be closed.
Th ! will necessitate a largo increase in
the capacity of the Omaha plant , and It Is
proposed to move the machinery of the Leav-
enwcrth mill here for that purpose.
Arrangements arc already being made with
the railroads which will permit of the out
put of the Woodman Linseed Oil mill being
shipped to the soulh , which was not possible.
In the past. Another feature of great Impor
tance connected with Iho change will be the
revival of flax growing In the state , as Mr.
Hlrft says a plan will bo adopted lo supply
farmers in all sections of the < Uati- with seed
at a very low prlco and contract to take their
crop , so that the growers will know just
what they are doing In advance. The grow
ing o ? flax for the seed was at one tlmo a
large and Important Industry In this stale ,
but thu difficulty of marketing the crop and
other causes resulted In its gradual abandon
ment by the farmers , until It has fallen tea
a very low point.
Mr. Hirst has evidently heard of the Ne
braska slogan , "Patronize Homo Induatrles , "
for almost the first thing he said was to the
effect that as he had located hero he hoped
Ihe pcoplo of Omaha and vlclnlly would not
forget to patronise an enterprise thai with
their help ho hopes lo transform Into one
of the most Important In the we&l , and In
return ho would promise them that they need
never have reason to bo ashamed of the
product of their oil mill. Mr. Hirst Is a
practical linseed oil man , having been man
ager of the Lravenworth mill for nine years ,
and In addition to his dutlea In that direc
tion ho found tlmo to take a prominent part
In the politics of his stato. Ho expresses
hlmeelf as very much pleased with Omaha.

The men now employed by the Nashville
exposition In the capacity of guards and
watchmen have written to Secretary Wake-
fleH of the TransralsslsslppI Exposition atone
ono time or another during the past six
months and have made application for em
ployment as guard * .
The latest communication from this source
was received Wednesday and Indicates thai a
portion of the Nashville exposition guard Is
about lo make a descenl upon Omaha for
Ihe purpose of capturing all Ihe nice , sod
bcrlhs as watchmen.
Tlio communication referred lo was signed
"J. H. McCoy , Secretary , " and conveyed the
Information thai several of Ihe members of
Iho Nashville guard have made prtparallons
to travel overland In wagons lo Omaha during
Iho coming winter. It was stated that the
party would occupy at least four wagons and
nould leave Nashville Immediately after the
close of the exposition , arriving In Omaha
some time In March ,
Tlio writer was not actuated by a dealre to
satisfy any suppoic'd' ' longing on the part
o ! Secretary Wakcflofd to keep posted on
the doings of the expert -watchmen , but It
developed that the u-whole party wanted to
fasten Its tentacles on the exposition
treasury as soon as possible. It was
suggested In- the letter that such a party
traveling through the country would como
across great numbers of people who are
miles from any railway or other means of
communicating with the outer world and the
aforesaid party could be made a valuable
moans of advertising to these benighted
people the fact that Omaha would have an
exposition in 1898. The writer said the
party would distribute a limited amount of
printed matter all along the route and would
talk exposition at all times , spreading the
H.SWB . everywhere. It was delicately sug
gested that this would be a most valuable
means of advertising the exposition and the
writer evinced some anxiety to learn at once
how many shekels the exposition would pay
for this service. The whole subject matter
was turned over to the Department of
Publicity.
AMUSEMENTS ,
A fair sized audience greeted Clay Clement
yesterday afternoon at the presentation of
that delightful play , "The New Dominion. "
The supporting company gives an even more
perfect presentation of the piece than the
one which accompanied him on his previous
visits and Mr. Clement has through repe
tition lost none of the charm which so cap
tivated those who heard him on other occa
sions , \ \ bile the audience \\as not so
numerous as the merits of the performance
deserved , neither Mr. Clement nor the com
pany can complain that It was not thor
oughly responsive to their efforts to please ,
and while soft words nor applause "butter
no parenlps" to one who Is Imbued with
his art It brings Its gratification , and with
each recurring visit It Is apparent that his
friends and admirers are on tbo increase.
"Tho White Klondike"
Crook In opened
a two nights' engagement at the Crclghton
last evening and the fairies who figured In
the bill were certainly scantily clad for so
cold a climate. The performance bears no
resemblance to Iho ono from which It ap
propriated a portion of Its name , hut con
sists entirely of songs , dancra and character
sketches , not oven the pretense of plot or
story being carried through it. It Is in fact
a typical variety performance , not worse
than some which have been hero nor yet HO
good as others.

South Omaha News .
I The South Omaha hospital Is badly In need
; of financial assistance , and unless donations
are freely made within a short tlmo It will
i bo necessary to close the dooors. Within the
i last few months nearly all of the wonit'ii In-
j tcrebted In Ihe Inslltutlon , with the exception
i of Mrs. William Berry and Mrs. John Carroll ,
J have resigned.
| At the present tlmo the hospital owes lltlle
or nothing , but money must be had to carry
on the work and pay running expenses. H
Is estimated by 'Mrs. Berry that the hospital
can bo kept going on $100 a month. Of this
amount the city now pays $25 every month ,
this donation just paying the rent of the
building occupied. In order to revive Inter
est In the hospital It has been suggested by
Mrs. Berry and others Intereslcd that a pub
lic meeting bo held at some tlmo In the near
' future at which the needs of the Institution
will bo made known. It Is thought that in
I this way enough money would bo pledged to
i keep the doors open during the winter. A
I committee will most likely be appointed io
I visit the managers of the packing houses and
! the stock yards and endeavor to induce UICEO
i corporations to pledge a certain sum each
! month. As It will be necessary to ralbe only
' $73 a month It Is thought that enough money
can bo raised in this way to meet all ox-
1 penses.
The physicians hero have and are doing all
they can. Their services are given free and
In addition to this there la a free dispensary
every day , which takes considerable time to
look after. During the last 'three ' months the
hospital has cared for twenty-seven patients ,
only two of this number paying anything for
the treatment received.
In a few days the present nurse leaves to
contlnuo her studies at a medical college nnd
it will bo necessary to employ anolher , There
Is no money on"hand lo pay a nurse and nn-
lci > s the running oxpenson are pledged at ouco
another nurse will not bo engaged. Nearly
every day some ono Is Injured at ono of the
packing houses and as the majority of pack
ing house employes are single men they are
taken to the 'hospital. ' Every packing house
hero Insures its employes in an accident In
surance company and for this reason It Is
thought by 'those ' carrying oa this work that
the packers could well a fiord to pny a certain
iiiim each month toward the support of the
Institution.
Donations from private Individuals and
buslncts houses are received every- month ,
which help a great deal , but what la niQ&t
needed at the ijro ent time Is an assured
cash Income.
One of Iho doctors who gives a good share
of his time to the borpltal said last evenin ; ;
that It would be a great hardfahlp to have no
hospital during the winter months , and tint
as so much building was going on more or
less accidents would eurely happen. With no
place nearer than Omaha to lake an Injured
person , the city would -certainly bo In u
aid plight. A meeting of physicians Is to ,
bo hold soon to see 'what united action on '
their fait can do for the Institution.

September was tha banner month for build
ing permits. The fees derived from permits
Issued amounted lo $55 , which Is moro than
double the average. Under the existing ar
rangements all of the money received for
building permits and house moving permits
goes Into the clly treasury. The city engi
neer attends to the laMiIng of permltt ) arid
also fcUpervIscH the erection of the buildings.
In ordt-r that he may get about the city the
engineer Is allowed $10 each month for livery
hire , An Increased number of permits ro-
HUlts from this expenditure , as formerly
many persons living In the suburbs were
backward about taking out thu necessary

vote bonds for say $ . > 0,000 and erect a city
hall and electric light plant. Ily creetlns
a city hall an annual rental of $1,500 would
be saved the city. This councilman further
claims that if the city owned a plant the
lighting could be done much cheaper than
It is now.
Kor a number of years South Omaha paid
$14 per month for every are light in use at
street 'intersections ' , but a couple of years
ago when the new contract was entered Into
the light company voluntarily reduced Its
rate to $12 per light and that Is the price
now paid.
Others arc noS so sanguine about the city
being able to save much by municipal owner
ship of a lighting plant. Ono olllclal said
that a lighting plant was an expomlve
luxury , especially In the summer time , when
lightning often destro > cd dynamos , con
verters and other valuable machinery. Some
thing may come of all the talk and possibly
a bond proposition may be submitted to the
people next spring.

Avi-i-y School DlNtrli-t TroiililrN.
It appears that the troubles In the Avcry
school district wcro not entirely settled
when ono of the judges of the district court
ph'cod the recently-elected board In control.
Mrs. Anna Smith was employed by Iho old
board and was given recognition by the now
board when It assumed control of affairs.
In making the assignment of tcac.her.-i the
now board assigned Mrs. Smith to the
Chandler school. This was dlsta.itc-ful to
Mrs. Smith and she refused to change from
the Avcry school where she had been teach
ing. Jn splto of nil the efforts of the board.
Mrs. Smith refused to budge and continued
to hold forth at the school of her choice.
On account of dlsobodlenro of orders In
reapoct to the school she should teah tlie
board 1ield a iim-llnR 'and ' summarily dis
missed the obstinate teacher.
Further than this , another teacher wai
employed to take charge of the Avery whonl ,
n Mixs Hettle Stoorz. Every day for about
a work Miss Stoorz has gone to the Avtry
school for Iho purpose of teaching , but has
not been allowed to do much In that line
by Mrx. Smith , who refused to recognlzo the
discharge she received from the school trus
tees.

bert was engaged In preparing an Injunc
tion , and the district court will bo asked to
day to issue an order restraining Mrs. Smith
from Interfering In any way with the schools
In the district.
