The mcnBiiro of advantago to accruo to
Omaha from tlio establishment of tho pro
posed Indian supply depot at this point
U at present Boniowhat problematical, de
pending wholly upon tho favor In which
tho city may ho regarded by the eomrals
loner of Indlnn affairs as a supply point.
It appears thnt tho government spends
very year about 17,000,000 In thu pur
chnso of supplies for Its Indian wards.
Before congress recently designated Omaha
tho location of a supply depot thero
woro but thrco such stutlons In tho United
States, tho chief of which was located
at New York City. Thoro was another In
Chicago and n third in Kan Franiisro, and
among thoso three tho J7.000.00O In an
nual purchases was distributed.
Supplies arc purchased usually in May
of each year, through competitive bids.
Bomo tlmo prior to tho month of May
each year the commissioner of Indian af
fairs advertises for bids for all of the
supplies needed, and designated tin- point at
which such bids shall be opened. Tho
opening of bids at any specllled plaro car
ries with It a great advantago to the
merchants of that locality In tho coinpo-
tltlon. It has never been Impossible for
Omaha merchants to bid on this largo busi
ness, for several Omaha firms have secured
Inrp.c contracts with the government for
Indian supplies, but they were hampered
by tho necessity of submitting their bids
and samples In distant cities. For In
stance, a local wholesale drug hoti.M ob
tained a contract ono year for supplies,
but In order to get It, In making Us bid.
It had to pro pure about 2.000 sample pack
ages, ship them to New York, accompany
them thither ami later deliver the goods
at New York, to be again shipped west to
points of consumption.
(Viiiiiit'i'i'liil Clui,' (iooil Wiirl,,
In urging congress lo establish an In
illftti supply depot In Omaha the Nebraska
representatives In congress were aided
materially by the arguments prepared by
tho Commercial club. The advantages en
joyed by this city as the renter of supply
for most of tho goods which are furnished
the Indians, together with Its advantages
ns n distributing center, were pointed out
nt considerable length, showing that the
location of such a depot hero was n mean
uro of substantial economy to the gov
eminent. It was shown that the Indians
of tho northwest were of a higher order
than those of tho southern climes, that
they needed larger (inutilities of supplies
for climatic and other reasons, ami that
Omaha had direct rollwi.y connections with
every section Inhabited by them, while
It also enoys two lines nf railway direct to
tho reservations in the Indian territory
It Is believed that the commissioner of
Indian affairs will be prompted by occm
omlc considerations to allot lo the Omaha
depot tho opening of bids for a fair pro
portion of tho Indian supply trade, say
$2,000,000 annually. This supposition Is
based on tho logical location of tho do
pot. Tho government pays the freight
from tho depot to the points of consump
tion, of courso tho commissioner may dl
rcct tho bids to be opened nt any place
ho may soo lit. but It would bo u distinct
economy for tho government were ho to
havo most of them opened nt Omaha.
All Indian agencies where largo amounts
of supplies are furnished .re west of
the Missouri river, anil tho largest con
sumers are In the northwest part of tho
United States and reached by railways
running direct from Omaha, so that In
buying goods based on Omaha, as com
pared with Chicago or New York, tho gov
eminent will have tlmo In transit and
freight charges that would accruo between
those cities and the Missouri river.

For the supply of bacon, lard and mos.1
pork, Omaha's big packing houses ofler
special advantages. Hog products aro
cheaper In Omaha than In Chicago or Now
York, bocauso It is nearer the base of
supply. Tho samo can bo said of prices
on barley, oats and corn. Rolled barley,
corn meal, feed, Hour, hominy, rolled oats
and hard bread are manufactured In
Omaha and at various Nebraska points.
The basis of their cost Is tho price of
grain, so that they can bo bought cheaper
hero than at nny other supply depot.
Tho beef supply is In tho samo situation
s other packing house products.
Fine and coarse salt in tho west is
mostly produced In central Kansas, and
direct lines of railway bring it to Omaha
at tho samo rates ns to other Missouri
river points. Furniture and woodonwaro
are handled extensively by several
factories and Jobbing houses In Omnha,
the supply coming from the west,
ami an they aro shipped In small
lots and at high rates, the Omaha
depot would enable a material saving
lo bo made. There aro several largo es

tltion from points east of the Missouri
river, which demonstrates their ability to
make lower prices when the freight Is
taken Into consideration from Chicago and
other points.
Another material Item of Indian annul v
Is agricultural implements. Tho cities of
Council Hluffs and Omaha have upwards
of twenty-five large Jobbing houses hand
ling this lino of goods and some factories
making them. Tho annual aggregate busi
ness Is $25,000,000. Jobbers east of them
do not compcto with them for western
trade. Implements enn bo purchased ns
cheap In Omaha as in Chicago, and a
Bating made on their shipment to west
ern points In distribution. The same ap
plies to wagons and wagon fixtures. Tho
basis of the hardwood supply used In mak
ing wagon fixtures Is Missouri. Arkansas
and Louisiana, which are nearer Omaha
than Chicago or New York.
fllaas, another urtlclo supplied. Is re
ceived In Omaha In car lots at tho rates
for heavy shipments, and In shipments to
agencies in small lots tho government
would bo a gainer by utilizing the Omaha
depot rather than one nt Chicago.
Sin Inn In I'iiIiiIm nml (HI.
Linseed oil Is used in making paints,
and for other purposes. Ono of tho larg
er t linseed oil works In the United States
Is In Omnha and uses Nebraska flaxseed.
Other oils am shipped to Omaha In tank
cars, and as oils would bo sent to the
agencies in small quantities, there would
be u saving on freights. Tho Carter white
lead works Is ono of tho largest In the
world, find ships largely to nil eastern
points. The basis of their product Is pig
lead, obtained from the largest smelting
works In tho world, located In Omahn.
Iron ami ochro paints aro made cheaper In
tho west than east of the Missouri river,
because of tho lurgo deposits of crude ma
terial In Nebraska anil the mountains Just
west of us. These facilities guarantee cheap
paints. Thero are two paint mixing estab
lishments in Omaha and ono of thu largest
In the United States Is at Lincoln. They
ship cast extensively. Oils, white lead and
palms can bo placed In an Omaha depot
cheaper than at Chicago without consider
ing the saving In freights from Chicago to
tho Missouri river.
Tho advantages enjoyed by Omahn ns a
supply and distributing center apply equally
to the economy that would ensue to the
government In the distribution of stoves,
brass nml Iron kettles and general hardware.
Tho four largo Jobbing hardwnro houses of
Omaha control tho trade throughout the
west, completely shutting off Chicago anil
eastern competition, so that It Is quite
certain thnt nn Indian depot distributing
from Omnha would enjoy advantages in
freight rates over one distributing from
Chicago. The War department supplied the
Department of tho IMatte from Omaha hc
caufe It was to its advantago to do so. and
tho same conditions would undoubtedly
apply to purchases and shipments for tho
Interior department.
An to Mecllc'iil Supplies,
As to medical supplies, some years ago
tho Richardson Drug company, one of
Omaha's three wholesale drug houses,
secured the contract for supplying
medicines for the Indians, but the dluiculty
nttcndlng tho shipment of samples to
Chicago and later In Bhlpplng 100,000 pounds
of drugs and paying heavy freight chnrges
to that city was such that further bids wcro
abandoned. With a delivery p isslblo nt
nil Omaha depot l he local houues would bo
nctlvo compel iters and tho government
would be tho benellclnry.
Henna can bo bought cheaper In Omaha
than in Chicago or New York. Coffee would
bo brought to Omahn In big lots, while now
It must bo shipped fiom New York In small
lots at high rates. Htco comes from (lulf
nml Pacific ports and can ho had here about
as cheaply ns in Chicago. Tea is imported
to Omnha in large quantities via the Pa title
coast nnd Is as cheap hero ns at Chicago.
Western sugars come from California and
tho south, except 20 per cent manufactured
In Nebraska. There Is ground to hopo that
In tho not far-distant future Nebraska will
lie recognized us one of tho main points of
sugar supply. Sugar is about as cheap In
Omaha ns lu New York.
Large quantities of blankets, woollen and
knit goods, hats and caps, notions, crockery
and lamps are made in the west. Kearney
has cotton mills, Fremont makes blankets
and buttons aro made In Omnha Tho prices
In Omnha aro but little above those In New
York nnd local Jobbing houses handle nil of
theso goods largely. Low grade clothing,
such ns Indians are supplied with, Is almost
entirely made In western fuctorles, as west
ern wholesalers now make their own sup
plies nnd there aro several large factories
making such goods In Omalia. Hoots and
shoes could he bought delivered nt a dept
lu Omnhn as cheaply as at one In New
York, ns boots and shoes are mndo largely
lu the west nnd Omaha has fuctorles that
could moot any demand.
School supplies could be delivered nt an
Omaha dcrot at as favorable prices for the
government ns nt any other point, ns theio
aro largo western factories more directly
available to Omnha than New York and
especially so with Chicago. Dried apples,
prunes and peaches come from California
and could bo had heru cheaper than at
Chicago or New York. Two factories nre
making baking powder extensively In
Omaha: corn starch Is made In this state
nnd shipped to New York and thrco of tho
largest Btnrrh factories in tho world nro
located at Des Moines, Sioux City nnd Ne
braska City, with many smaller factories
near Omahn nnd one Just being established
hero for the manufacture of cereal foodf.
SmccI 1'ood for l.o,
Omaha has one of tho largest factories for
tho making of syrups, pioservcs nnd Jollies
In the country, with many others In
neighboring cities. Tho basis of corn
syrups Is glucone, nnd in making cane
syrups matcrl.il la obtained from New
Orleans on low freight rates. Syrups are
cheaper in Omaha than In New York.
Vluegnr is made from Nebraska products
and can bo made hero cheaper than In nny
city in tho United Stales. It Is manufactured
here extensively.
It Is u fuel, although mnny people have
manifested somo skepticism on that sub
ject, that the government supplies largo
quantities of soap to the Indians. Soaps nt
all kinds are made extensively in Omaha.
Tho bads of the cost Is labor and tallow.
Ono company makes upwards of 100,000
pounds dally and ships It east, as well at
west. With the packing houses to draw
upon for raw material Omnha soap factories
can place In n depot at Omnha unlimited
1 quuouiies in Euaji m u iiuiu nun i-uuuul
no duplicated in now vorK ami mat can
compare) with nny afforded In Chicago.
Tho basis of making rates to points In
territory west of Omaha is tho Missouri
rler. so thnt tho rate on merchandise from
New York or Chicago to railway points lu
Nebraska, Wyoming. South Dakota, Colo-
' rndr and Utah Is the rates from thoso points
to Omaha plus tho rates from Omnha west.
This gives this city a marked advantage In
cxpidit'.ug shipments and on rates applied
in making them.
There is no question that tho comnils
'otior nf Indian affairs could, by opening
the larger share of bids for Indian supplies
at Omaha, effect large suvlngs for the gov
ernment, and should he lind it advisable to
do ho. the trade thus gained, amounting to
from $i,000,euo to $1,000,000 per year, would
afford a decided stimulus to local Jobbing
nnd manufacturing enterprises.

FARMER, MECHANIC AND MERCHANT TALK
Willi I MrK lilies 'o IMrellon llrounlit to
Tliciu nml Wlmt the Trltintpli
uf llr mi Win Would
Likely ItrliiK.
In the corner of the reading room at the
Omaha Commercial club Thursday three
gentlemen, representing varied Interests,
talked significantly on thu political situation.
The conversationalists were C. S. Huywnrd
of the Williams & I lay ward Shoe company,
O. It. Williams, a farmer well known
throughout Douglas county, nnd H. A. Wil
lis, president of tho Omnha Pressmen's
union, nnd tho conversation ran llko this:
Mr. Williams Mr. Hayward, In your
opinion, would tho election of Mr. Hryan
have any effect upon the manufacturing nnd
Jobbing Interests?
Mr. llaywani Yes; It would undoubtedly
havo u bad effect. It would take us hack
to tho conditions of ISOti. when the sta
bility of our currency was seriously threat
ened and money tightened up. Four years
ago, It will be remembered, manufacturing
concerns: throughout tho country were in a
bad way. Somo of tho mills were shut
down completely nnd the others were
greatly curtailed In operation. That condi
tion was biought about by bad tariff legis
lation and the free sliver agitation, and
both of these evils would be upon us again
lu tho event of democratic success this year.
Wm-kei-N lime Much ill MuLe.
Mr. Willis The woiklngmen of the titles
have as much at stako lu this campaign as
do tho manufacturers, for they uro the tint
nnd greatest BUffcrcrs when the mills close
down. Thousands of men were out of work
four years ago and now many of tho big
factories nre unable lo git as many operators
ns they desire. Night hero In Omnha from
M lt CO per cent of the members of the
different labor unions were employed in
lsriO, while this year every union reports Its
full membership at work. 1 should think
that the enforced Idleness of a Inrgo number
of workliigmen In tho cities would have
somo olfcct upon the farmers. What do
jou tiilnk of It, Mr. Williams?
Mr. Williams Well, of course, the farmer's
prosperity depends very largely upon a
fntorablo market, and you can't hnve a
very good market when thousands of men
In Hie cities nre unemployed. During tho
four years of hunt times, from isf2 to lSDil,
there was an Immense falling off In tho do
mestic consumption of farm products. The
government statistics show that the averag.i
decreased consumption of wheat in tho
United States was over 60,000,000 bushels a
year for the four years and tho per capita
consumption of corn dropped from thirty
bushels In 1S9U to fourteen In isnfi. This
gieat slump In the domestic market had Its
effect upon the foreign market, of course.
No matter how bountiful the crops may be
tho fnrmer can havo no good times when
the markets aro poor.
(Itienllnii it roiiMiinpllon.
Mr. Willis Tho decreased consumption of
wheat and corn In the United States during
tho four years of lSt'2-C was undoubtedly
duo to tho Inability of tho unemployed work
lngmeii of tho cities to provide a comfort
able living for their families. Thero must
havo bcon even a greater decrease In tho
consumption of meats.
Mr. Williams Undoubtedly so At South
Omaha stock yards tho cattle receipts for
tho seven monthe of 1000 ending July 31
was 121.230, ns against 220..12I for a llko
period In IRftC a gain of nearly 100 per cent.
Tho hog receipts for the first seven months
of this year wcro 1,121,171, as against "17,1'70
for tho corresponding period of lS'.'G.
Mr. Hayward No one will deny that wo
nre having general prosprrlty at this tlmo.
FnrmcrH are having good crops and good
mnrkets; workliigmen In the titles aro hav
ing steady employment nt good wages nnd
tho manufacturers nnd Jobbers ure enjoy
Irg a constantly Increasing business. ')o
we owo nny measure of praise to the re
publican party for all this?
Mr. AVlllln 1 think wo do. I know that
hundreds of big mills In the east that were
closed by democratic tariff tinkering havo
been reopened by wise republican tariff
legislation. Without these mills In opera
tion thousands of men would ho out of
work, and to that extent our general
prosperity would be Impaired. ,
If II - ii Were llleeteil,
Mr. Hayward Wo must thank tho re
publican party, ulso, for sound financial
legislation, which has restored confidence
and returned money to circulation. It this
government should undertake the unlimited
coinage of silver nt a ilxed ratio of 16 to
1 wo rould hnve nothing llko stability for
our currency, and without a stablo circula
tion medium thero could be no confidence.
The election of Mr. Urynn would drive
capital into Its hiding-place again nnd tho
farmer, tho worklngmun and the ninnu
fnctuier and Jobber wculd suffer tho con
sequences. Mr. Willis I think tho worklngman would
suffer first, because a cessation of In
dustrial activities must necessarily and Im
mediately follow the withdrawal of capital
from Its natural channels of usefulness.
When capital nvolds permanent Investment
and temporary employment, Improvements
of nil kinds cense, factories nil over the
country nro hampered In tholr operations
nnd worklngincn are thrown o.it of their
Jobs by the hundreds.
Mr. Wllllnmn Aro you gentlemen of tho
opinion thnt Mr. Ilryan is nny morn re
liable lu prophecy today than ho was In
16?
Mr. Hayward Mr. Hryan may be a gifted
man, hut foresight Is a quality that he lacks.
In IfcOG ho predicted all torts of dire results
from n McKlnley victory. According to his
vlowa, tho election of McKlnley meant a
contraction of currency, lower prices for
products of the soil, less work and less
wages for tho laboring man, more debt nnd
higher Interest for the farmer and a con
tinuation of tho hard times generally.
Mr. Willis As far as the laboring classes
are concerned Mr. llrynn's prophecies of
1S18 hnvo not materialized, workliigmen
havo not only found tho demand for their
services enlarged, but their hours shortened
nnd their wages Increased. In Omaha, In
lsi'7, tho Pressmen's union scale was $1C
to $18 a week for ten hours' work, today the
pay lo tho same for nine hours' work; the
Plasterers'. Hricklayers' nnd Stonemnsons'
Tenders' union had in IMiG n scale of 1 ,
cents to 1T3 cents per hour, today their
scale is 21 cents per hour nnd they havo an
eight-hour iinu-tid of n ten-hour day, tho
I'luinbcrs' union scalo was 15 cents per
hour lu lSOC. now It Is SO cents; tho Hrick
layers' union wnge scalo In t SOO wHis f,0
cents per hour, now It Is fir cents; the
Carpenters' union scalo was 30 cents per
hour, now It Is 10 cents; tho Painters' nnd
Decorators' union has advanced Its scale
from 30 cents to 35 cents nnd tho Shcot
Metal workers' wages havo been Increased
from 27'.- cents to 3Si cents per hour. 1
might go on and show similar Increases In
all tho trades, but I have given siilllticnt
facts to demonstrate that Mr. llrynn's
prophecy of lower wages has not been ful
filled. Mr. Williams And as to ihe farmers Mr
Hryan was also mistaken. The prices paid
fur all kinds of farm products have ad
vrnced from 10 to 200 per cent. Money Is
easier to get and Interest rates are lower
by from 2 to 3 per rent

The startling fulfillment of tho predic
tion of Mrs, i:llabeth Ilnrstmnn of MIs
hawaka, Ind., mndo last July, when sho
was apparently In tho best of health, that
she would die 011 August 15, has set the
press once more to discussing the prob
ability of premonition nf death. Mrs.
Iloititmnn, who was related by mnrrlago
to Bishop Horntman nt Cleveland, Is Mild
lo have been a person of great piety. It
Is not known that she was of a melan
choly or a superstitious disposition. Neither
is nnything known as to tho motive that
prompted her to maUo tho gloomy pro
diction. It Is known, positively, however,
that sho made It and that It was fulfllled
to tho letter.
Thoro nre. of course, numerous interpreta
tions of this event, toys tho Chicago Inter
Occnn. Ono cf tho commonest is thnt
founded on the fatalist theory. Her day
had been appointed and sho was Informed
of thu time by tome occult or supernatural
agency. Tho spiritualist view, In Its
broadest sense, is hardly Ires comlnon.
She was rulvifcd by some departed near
and dear one as to the time wtien sho should
die. Tho rational belief is that which Is
advanced by tho Pittsburg Dispatch: Her
death Is clearly an example, of the re
markable power which tho mind exorcises
over tho body.
It Is known that fatal results followed
the experiment of making n man bollovo
that ho had been lanced and was slowly
bleeding to death. , Tho story of tho
practical Joke played by a lot of young
French medical Htudonts ou the Janitor of
tholr college Is familiar. They accused him
of some fictitious offense, gave him n mock
trial, and sentenced him to death by do
capitation. He was led to a block. Do
uble It was nn ax. Ills upper body was
bared and IiIb eyes wcro bandaged. Ills
head was forced down to tho block. One
of die students tmote him across tho neck
with a wot towel and bp was dead. It Is
hold that it was not the ill-usago or the
shock that killed him. but IiIh firm con
viction that his time had come.
