'A curious old relic of pioneer days In Ne
braska has been put at the deposition of the
exposition management by S. II. Park * of
Bcrlbner , one of Uic earliest settlers In Ne-
branka. It IB a corn and cob crusher , which
did noble ijcrvlce during the severe wlntcni
Which marked the early history of the strug
gling territory. Mr. Parks wrote to Secre
tary II. W. Furnas of the Nebraska His
torical society and offered to allow the old
mill to be exhibited among the precious
relics whltti the society has gathered from
all quarters. He aeked that transportation
bo furnished for the old mill , which Is still
Intact. Secretary Furna forwarded the
letter to Secretary Wakefleld and the latter
bos turned It over to Secretary 0. C. Holmes
of the Nebraska Mlllcro' association , with
the suggestion that the mill be Installed as a
part of tlie exhibit of milling machinery and
products to bo made under the auspices of
the association. Secretary Holmeo will lay
the matter before the executive committee
of Ills association at an early day and It Is
highly probable that the historic old relic
will be given a prominent place In the ex
hibit of modern milling machinery.
The letter of Mr. Parks to Secretary Furnan
contains n pathetic story In a few words.
Aside from questions regarding shipment the
body of the letter was as follows :
I hnve i cast Iron corn and cob crusher
whlrh I think Is the llrst grist mill In Ne
braska territory. It was brougYit from
Qulncy. III. , to Fontnnelle , Neb. , In 1&53 by
a Mr. Richardson. I bought It of his
widow In 1TO ) . It furnished the meal nml
"nnmp" that kept the people of Fontnnclle
from starving the terrible winter of 1S5C-7.
It also furnished the principal food for all
the ploncor settlers of Fremont. West
Point , DeWItt anil vicinity and Klkhorn
vulloy us far ns settled. It did good
service In thu winter of 1SB1-2. There was
ftbaut two feet of snow on the level t'nat
winter and we hail to grind corn anil wheat
In the old mill or starve. The grinding
process was very simple hitch a. yoke of
cattle on the end of the sweep , put your
corn or wheat In the hopper and pound
your oxen on the Imck. With n sieve you
sifted the ground material. TVio course
product was ground acaln. You could grind
nbout ten bushels a day If you attended to
business. Yet I must give the old mill
credit for being Industrious , for Just as
soon as It nnlshcd grinding one grain It
commenced on anofner. Yet It was a
great Improvement on a coffee mill that
wo ground sod corn In In the winter of
38T.S. The hopper and sweep of the old
mill arc gone and the stump on which It
rests Is about two and one-half Inches In
diameter.
CltlTICAI. SITUATION J.V MISSOUUI.
BtnliCnminlKKliin IMHIICM a Public
Drrlnrntloii of Intention.
Exposition matters have reached a crisis
In Missouri. A meeting of the state com
mission was held In St. Louis Friday of last
wee ! : at which the treasurer reported that
$11,000 had been subecrlbed , although all of
this had not been turned over to him. After
a protracted session the commission Issued
a general notice to the public that unless
$7,500 additional Is subscribed by the date of
the next meeting , April 22 , the Idea of hav
ing a state exhibit will be abandoned.
During the meeting the situation was thor-
ouelily canvassed , and the members of the
commission expressed themselves very freely
regarding the apathy of several sections of
the state. The "enterprising and rich town
of St. Joseph , " as one of the commissioners
ceiled It , wea credited with exactly $7 , and
Its gencroolty furnished a text for several
"complimentary" remarks.
Each commissioner reported on the condi
tion In his district , and It was the consensus
of opinion that the state will bo saved the
humiliation of being counted among the Ab
sentees at the exposition , but It was agreed
that whatever Is done must be done quickly
and public announcement was made that un
ices at least $7GOO additional Is In hand by
the next meeting every member of the com-
mlsslcn will Vrslcn.
It developed at this meeting that there are
a number of localities which have raised
money for a local exhibit , and none of this
money appears In the money collected by the
commission. Individuals all over the state
ore also making preparations for exhlbltlag
and activity In stock circles Is especially no
ticeable. St. Loulo firm- * have notified the com
mission that their exhibit of live stock will
bo four times as large as at the World's fair
and the exhibit of horticulture will bo one
of the finest ever seen In the country. From
the reports of the heads of the various de
partments Itwas evident that the space re-
crvcd by the commission will be entirely
too small. Every department has asked for
Additional trace.
Plans for the Missouri building have been
.drawn by L. C. Buckley & Dro. , of St. Louis.
It Is to bo 60x90 , and is a very handsome
looking structure. It will cost about $10,000.

tion to stand behind these premiums and
make them good. These conditions will bo

tco by President Wattles and as soon as they
have been ratified the flreracji will Issue a
call for a tournament.

WHAT THE LOCAL IIACKME.V WAST.
PrcNldcnt of the Union Explain * Itn
Grievance * nnd Ohectn.
OMAHA , April 9. To the Editor of The
Bee : In the l. ue of March 31 of The Bee
Is an article censuring our union because of
a petition to the city council praying that
ho license fee for passenger vehicles ie In-
xcased to $30 a year. Amongst other re
marks The Bee says : As a matter of fact ,
't springs from a desire to monopolize the
uslness by shutting out competitors. Now ,
rant that The Bee to fomeextent as to
hat part of Its Item Is correct. I have
iecn driving a hack lure In Omaha for
omethlng like twenty years , and I have
icen reading The Bee , the Herald , later the
Vorld-Herald , In all these years , but I have
ever jet seen such honest words In any of
he papers In opposition to monopolizing by
hutting out competitors In the hack busl-
CM of Omaha. Mr. Editor , If you would
se your powerful and valuable paper In
.dvocatlne this good principle against the
nflucntlal Md wealthy as unr.'tlntediy as you
ave done against us hackmcn It would be a
'odsend , not only to us hackmcn , but to
he public at large.
Just look back upon the past and see the
nconvenlence , Injustice and wrong perpe-
rated against men. women and children of
.11 classes , who have been compelled to
> < ilk through rain , mud an. ! slime before
hey can obtain the service of a hack. Docs
hat not spring from a desire to
monopolize the business by shutting
- > ut the hacks ? We have Implored
he powers that bo for years and years to
lermlt one hack to stand down at the dapnt
nd when he gets a load for another to drive
n. Oh , no , not much. They know well
nough that a person who knows enough to
; et out of the rain would take a hack In
reference to an onwilbus when they could
ave the hack for the same price or even
ess.
People arc kept In Ignorance of the real
'aete. ' People who arrive hero In Omaha and
' .eslre . the nervlce of a hack will walk around
round and look around until finally they
get their eyes on Officer Fiommlng or .loo
"Ilk or the city police. They will ark what
Ind of a place Is this with no hacks here ,
hose gentlemen will call hacks for ull these
vho desire their service. But how does a
tranger kaow that he must first go and
Ind a policeman before he can obtain the
ervlce of a hack ? When the trains were
unnlng Into the old depot the Union Pacific
Railroad company raid to the transfer com-
jany the three first stands for $2,000 a year.
Did they not sell something which they had
10 lawful right to sell ? Yet the railroad
tompany hired acid paid a man and the city
f Omaha Invested him with police power to
nforco their Illegal act. The three first
lands the transfer company bought were
: overed with planks , but where our hacks
. -ere standing there was nothing but deep
mud. And after the transfer hacks had
been loaded and went away and the stands
ivero vacant they would not let us occupy
hem , though wo agreed to move out as soon
is their hacks came back. Men , women and
ihlldren had to crawl In between our hacks
md In the mud nnd slime before they cou'.d
get Into them. Does not that spring much
"rom a desire to monopolize ?
We have a still more serious matter to
contend with. This Is alsp a matter that
prlngs from a desire to monopolize the
business by shutting out competitors , only
that It goes Q good deal further. Mr. J. B.
Kitchen has for years either dlrectljP or In
directly ured his Influence and power with
'he city officials In excluding hacks from
his hotel , so that he could sell space In
front of the same to some firm and USB the
police power to enforce the act. Mr. J. B.
Kitchen has failed In this. Now he has
nvoked the court to aid him In Imposing on
ho people. We have done hm no wrong ,
we have been useful to him ; the people who
patronize htm ore also useful to him , yet
he cither wants the people to walk to and
"rom hla hotel or ho wants to extort money
'rom them by depriving them of hick com
petition. Hacks are cs nuuti ot a public
necessity as the street cars , yet Mr. Kitchen
.vants . the court to move all the backs
rom the strosti. ' cf Omaha which stand there
or hire , because , as ho sajs In his affidavit ,
he horsrs smell bad.
As to the reason of our petition , I would
say that It does not In any sense of the
word mean to shut out competitors , be
cause the amount of the license is not pro
hibitive. It sprlnjo from a desire to as
much as possible curtail the number of
vehicles who may come here , that the bu.st-
nees be so divided that there may bo but a
small portion for each of us. They may not
necessarily all be hacks or cabs , they may
be carryalls and omnibuses , and any kinds ot
vehicles suitable for conveying pascngcrs. .
Of the principles our union advocates , I
would like to state a few. Amongst them
la honesty and equal right , klndnees to
women and children , and politeness In gen
eral. It strictly prohibits intemperance and
overcharging. A member Is not at liberty
o cbarge anything above the established
rates , but he Is at full liberty to charge as
much below the eotabllshed rate as he , In
his Judgment , considers that he can do the
work for. Our aim 1s to render prompt
and good service , making rates to suit the
public , and gala the confidence and good
will of the public at large. I am , very
respectfully yours , JOHN LAHSON ,
President Omaha Hackmen's Unlcn.

Every oncp in a great while somebody buys some f
thing at The Nebraska that doesn't wear satisfac
torily , and instead of bringing it back and letting
us know , they say nothing about it because they im
agine The Nebraska is like some other stores. It
aint. If you buy anything poor hero and keep i
its entirely your own fault. Wo take niore pleasiiro
in replacing a faulty article , than we do in soiling it
in the first place , because we are constantly preach
ing the doctorino of wear , and the lirst condition on
which wo sell you a thing , is that you must get the
worth of your money in wear. Speaking of wear
we call attention this morning to three new lines of
Men's stylish suits , at $7.50 , § 8.50 and $10.00 , and
we want to say for them , that never have better val
ues been put into suits at any price. No handsomer
patterns and no honester cloth has ever been cut up
into Spring Suits. The ten dollar lines are in round
and square cut sacks , in cassimeres , worsteds and
fine serges , and for style , finish and wear , you will
got fully fifteen dollars worth of Suit. The other
two lines at $8.50 and $7.50 are examples of "good
pickin" which you can find at The Nebraska only
and if you think you can match them elsewhere for
the money , your thinker is out of order and you'll
find it expensive to leave it that way very long.
