Two hundred mllea or thereabouts to the
north of Kansas City lies Omaha, another
progressive elty, which, like the more
southern town, Is the hub of a great agri
cultural and trade area, The site of the
city was recognised very early aa a strata
eglc one. Within a few mtlee of the city
aa important trading post -stood aa long
ago aa the Lewis and Clark expedition,
and so progressive had the town become
In 1 that the Union Pacific railroad made
Its terminus for the "overlsnd lines."
Prom the building of the Union Pacific
the rapid growth of the city began. The
expenditure of large sums of money by
the latter road, the seal with which other
roads aourht to Share In the carrying trade
to and from the Missouri river, resulting
in the centering of thirteen large systems
here. Its geographical and agricultural lo
cation In the heart of an almost limitless
expanse of fertile prairie and the conac
auentlal growth of the Jobbing trade to
aupply the needa of the country, all com
bined to Bend ita population and industry
forward with great acceleration. In 1M0
the population waa but 1.861, ia 1870, 18,081,
while today it la claimed to have about 133,
000 people.
In all the cities I visited, especially In
the central west, I was struck with the
fact that the "boom" and depression pe
riods coincided exactly.' In Kansas City
the great ewssatlon of commercial and In
dustrial activity came about 1836-88 and
lasted until shout 1S9T. The same Is true
of Omaha. With all the various railroads
struggling to enter the city and with the
great development of the country about
it the real estate and commercial move
ments In the city became out of proportion
almost to reason. About 1886-88 almost all
of the present largo office buildings of
Omaha were built. Many of these are five,
six and seven stories in height, with almost
as many hundred rooms, and whan ths
boom died, aa It did In the late 80"s, these
large buildings and real estate In general
died.
The Foolish Boons Days.
I suppose the statement so often, made
Is true that nowhere In the cities of the
central west waa the depression felt more
severely than In the city of Omaha. In
no other cltlea were values inflated and
commercial conditions so strained as there,
In ths "boom" period everybody spoke of
their strategic location, etc.,, which would
Inevitably make It the largest city west of
Chicago and commercial values were based
upon such hopes and aspirations. I was
told that in the midst of the "boom," sur
veyors had staked out a great part of east
ern Nebraska in town lots and that every
one anticipated a great metropolitan cen
ter In a few yeara. When the crash did
Come, lta causes were not hard to find.
As in all the neighboring states, Nebraska
farm values were greatly inflated and
mortgaged and when a single year's crop
even slightly failed, the great superstruc
ture built upon crop successes came down
like a house of cards. The railroads
ceased building1 and began a general re
trenchment policy, the Jobbing Intereata be
gan to slacken their operations and build
ing? game to a standstill. And right in the
midst of the great industrial depression
and panto of 1S93, and Just when the con
ditions seemed to be brightening, came the
terrible crop failure of 1894.
It will be much more interesting, how
ever, to speak of conditions ss they are
than as they have been. There are few
cities In the country where the resuscita
tion or industry is more noticeaDie man
In Omaha. In a year almost. It seemed
to me. the entire spirit of the people had
changed and where there was once
lethargy and Industrial despair, now all Is
hope and enterprise. The best Indications
too show that the renewed activity In
Industry la but an attempt to adjust Itself
to business conditions that have for Ave
years been growing with a steady gain
year by year and that the new development
Is far sway from a "boom."
Now a Real Jnhhlna- renter.
The first Index of thle revival of Industry
and commercial activity Is seen in the
wholesale or Jobbing section of the city.
In Its essence Omaha's chief Industry al
ways has been and probably always will be
Its Jobbing business. Within the limits of
Kansas City and St. Joseph on the south
and the Twin Cltlea on the north there la
no large Jobbing center nearer than Des
Moines on ths east and Denver on the
west, and all this area, comprising the
entire state of Nebraska, northern Kan
sas and the greater parf of South Dakota,
Wyoming and Iowa, is all within the pos
sible trade area of the city. Aa one goea
down through the. large area devoted to
the Jobbing or wholesale businesses here
he Is immediately struck with signs of new
life and progress everywhere. As an Illus
tration, one of the large dry goods firms,
M. E: Smith A Co., doing probably several
million dollars' worth of business a year,
will shortly go Into a new building costing
about tCOO.000. This doubling of their ca
pacity was but to meet a need due to the
doubling of their business. Another lsrgs
maohlnery and Implement house Is also
about to go Into additional buildings, thus
doubling and even trebling their capacity,
in order to meet changed business de
mands. In the city there are about ISO
Wholesale, Jobbing houses which in 1906 sold
$l36,0CO.flC0 worth of goods, and the moat
conservative business men in the city esti
mate that this year the figures should be
from nao.non.coo to Ii76.ooo.ooo.
In the retail lines also the same new
activity naturally is seen. Upon one cor
ner there Is being erected a large modern
building that Is to be occupied by a large
department store now doing business tn
cramped quarters. The retail section has
been compelled to move farther and far
ther out In erder to give room to the Job
bing interests, and today many of the once
residential sections are occupied by de
partment and other retail stores.'
Maaafartarlnar aad Parkin.
In manufacturing, Omaha's progress
has also been remarkable. They have now
an Investment of about ttO.MO.OnO and the
output of which. In 1905, was about 8830,
0U,000. In this connection we cannot fall
to speak ef Omaha's growth aa a packing
and. live atock center. In these lines it
now occupies third place In the country and
I have been told by cattle men throughout
the west that it Is In quality and enter
prise equal to the beet Of course. I am
now liiciuamg eouin umsna, which Is a
separate municipality, but a part of the
Industrial sdne of which Omaha proper Is
the bead! In 18M the live stock market at
Omaha was first opened and Its receipts
that year were 88,603 cattle, 8.689 hogs, 1.503
sheep aad t9 horses and mules. Ia 14
these figures hsd grown to rattle-1,03. 38,
hoga J.2PJ.966, sheep 1,70.S02 , and horses
and mules 48.422, and It Is now exceeded In
receipts by only Chicago and Kansas City.
This great growth Is due to two causes,
first, the location of the packing Interests
here, giving for the seller of his stock a
ready market, and, secondly, with the large
Increase In the corn acreage in the sur
rounding country, a large demand has
arisen for what are called "feeders," that
Is, lean cattle from the stock ranches which
can be fattened for market upon the corn
which the farmers think more profitable to
feed than to sell. Ths farmers throughout
the country place their orders with a cer
tain stock firm for so many cattle, hogs
and sheep of a certain breed and when
these come into ths yards the broker wilt
buy and send them out to his client, who In
turn wilt feed them for a season and then
return them to the packing houses.
Fight for a Grala Market.
As a grain center also Omaha has taken
high rank. The grain market here ia only
two and one-half years old, and yet Its
receipts were In the first eleven months of
Its existence In 1904 16,433,36 buahela. In
1906 over 85,000,000 and for the first six
months of the present year almost 10,000,000
bushels. When one considers that ths
Ity has Chicago, St. Louis and Minneapolis
fighting for their lives to move ths grain
from the country about Omaha direct
to tbe east, and Kansss City itself com
peting to carry the bulk of the grain from
Nebraska, Kansns, etc, to ths gulf, ws
can appreciate the struggle It took for
Omaha to get its "wedge In" as a grain
market- That It did. hpwsver, is but an
other Indication of Its complete rehabilita
tion of business And. enterprise.
With this short sketch of the progress
of the city in Industry and commerce let
us turn to real estate and banking. I
have spoken of the great amount of build
ing in the business sections of the city
In 1101 the reoords show that tbe real
estate transfers amounted to IT, 085, 174,
and for ths first Ave months of this year
the transfara have amounted to 11.018,
111, as agalnat I3.T59.S1T for the corre
sponding period last year. In building
ths permits last year amounted to 84,187
484 and this year for ths first six months
are already 81,171,005, as against 11,471,-
698 for the same period of last yesr.
From tl.s figures given by the building
inspector I find that during the entire
year there were erected T18 buildings, of
which 841 wers residences and of the
latter S01 were frame and thirty-nine
brick, and both together cost $l,:98,-
848. The Increase In building in the city
can be fairly well realised when we com
pare the building permits for the last
three years. In 1908 ths figures were
81,071,857; tn 1904, 12.051,980, and in
1905, 84,387,464 eiowlng that In so short
a period there has bean a doubling of
building every year.
Local Capital Swlaarlaar Enterprises.
A peculiar feature of ths building opera
tions here Is that they ars being carried
on largely by local capital. In the retail
and wholesale aectlona the large, now
buildings are being constructed either by
the firms out of their own surplus earn
ings or by private Individuals of the
city as an Investment through leases to
the large Jobbing houses.. And I was toH
that even the largest buildings ars not
heavily mortgaged, and in case of heavy
mortgagee the loana were made by local
companies at low rates of Interest.
Both In the business and residential sec
tions the demand is far greater than the
supply. I was shown by six or seven, real
estate men, upon whom I called, lists of ap
plications from people outside of the city
seeking locations for their businesses and
homes for themselves and family, and I
was told that hundreds of such applications
could not be filled for .months ahead. .
In financial circles the same healthy con
dition of affairs la shown. In bank clear
ings the figures show that in 1905 they
amounted to 841857,685.15, while v for the
first six months of this year the figures
were 8248,807,537.04, as against 8211.965,696.60
for the corresponding period of last year,
thus showing an increase of 838,871,840.35. In
bank deposits the figures) on June 18 of this
year were 837,447,824.1, as against $32,408,
5S6.5J, showing an Increase of nearly 35.000,
000, which for a town the else of Omaha Is
a very creditable showing Indeed.
Balldlaa- and Loss Associations.
The reports of the building and loan as.
soclations are of the same color. In the
city there are several such organisations
with total assets of 83,500,000, and I was In
formed by several of the officials In them
that the business within the last six months
alone has increased about 80 per cent. The
investments of such companies Is very
largely concerned with the building of
homes for ths people of the city, and no
doubt the large proportion of the building
of residences In the city, 641 out of a total
number of 885 buildings of all kinds erected
last year, is directly attributable to the
facility with which money can be borrowed
at reasonable rates from such organiza
tions. The officers of both the banks and
of the loan associations told me that the
condition of the farmers has been so pros
perous within the last few years that their
former good security In first mortgage on
farm landa had entirely disappeared, with
the result that they have had to seek In
the cities a security, and upon this their
rates of profit were much lower.
The Coaatry Behind It
The great cause of the prosperous condi
tions within the city of Omaha Is of course
the remarkable prosperity which abounds
in the country about It, and particularly In
rhe stats of Nebraska. The agricultural
territory o( the state naturally divides It
self Into three parts the eastern, or corn
belt, which extends about 150 or 175 miles
westward to the country around Grand
Island; the middle, a strut ch of country
running the whole length of the stitev
north snd south, about 100 miles In width,
which, under modern methods of farming,
Is already. In a high state of cultivation;
and the extreme western third of the tat".
which will probably never be lit for any.
thing but the graslng of cattle.
In the eastern and middle sections, con
ditions are moot prosperous. Indeed. Land
about 200 miles west of Omaha which ton
years ago could' be bought for 310 an acre
tanMsJ than In the best farming districts
of New Tork state.
Ia closing thee observation upon the
city of Omaha, due credit must be given
for the present high state of prosperity to
Its commercial organisations. In the Com
mercial club are over S of Omaha's most
progressive business men, who are giving
freely their time snd money to advance the
Interests of ths city, both ss a place to
live In and as a place in which to do busl-
That Ceasas.
The (act that In ths census of 1800 ths
population of Omaha showed an actual
loss over that of 1890 has cause much
comment throughout the country. Ths
facta are, Omaha never receded in popula
tion. Both there and everywhere tn the
central west the compilations of the cen
sus of 1890 were outrageously Inaccurate,
with ths result that In that census Omaha's
population was greatly "padded." Thus
Hthen ths census of 1900 waa taken, and
honestly taken, so great had been ths In
flation In the previous ons that even the
very creditable Increase in population dur
ing the decade could not prevent a negative
showing.
WHO INVENTED HORSESHOES
Early Footgear fer the Nobis Brate
and Its Irogress ts Preseat
tyle.
Horseshoes were not known to ths an
olents and there is much doubt as to what
nation and ags first used them. An author
ity on the subject says: "Ths first kind of
shoe known was not a shoe at all, it was
a species of sock, often made with woven
or plaited hemp. Camels In ancient war
fare were thus shod, and so were mules and
horses when their hoofs were hurt. In
time of heavy snow these socks were neces
sary to prevent the horses from sinking
up to their girths In the snow, according
to an old writer; similar socks ars used
by ths Russians In Kamtehatka for their
sledge dogs, and this kind ts provided with
little holes for the claws. Horse soles were
also roads of woven broom, reeds and bast
strapped on, such as are still used In Japan,
where they ars made by the children who
wait about ths roads offering them for sals
at a low figure. Ths next atsp mads by the
old Romans and Oreeks seems to have been
the manufacture of leather soles snd shoe a
but the great drawback to all these hoof
protectors was the galling of ths straps,
and they wore really only of substantial
use in ths ease of baggage animals, or
when the road was rough and dangerous.
Delays were often occasioned by the shoes
sticking In the mud and letting the horse
go on In front.
'80 the old 'mule doctors' had to devise
means of hardening horses' hoofs. Ons ad
vised stone slabs fastened with Iron clamps
to the ground which formed the stable;
another recommended oak flooring, while
yet another prescribed the smearing of the
bottom of the feet of draft animals with
pitch. The exact date when metal ahoea
wars first brought out ts not known, but
It la said that Nero had ths mules attached
to 1,000 carriages shod with silver sandals,
while Poppaea's mules were gold-shod.
These may be tbe hlpposandals which have
been found wherever the Romans settled
in Germany, Trance and England. The
form of the hlpposandal varies; the com
monest shape Is an oval plate of metal
drawn out backward on both sides, and in
some cases fitted with a curved hoof. There
are wings to the sides, and In front they
are furnished with eyes and rings. Another
kind Is distinguished by the bending up
ward of, the sides in front and behind,
suggesting to ths eye the form of an an
cient galley. They were fixed to the hoofs
by straps passed through clips and rings.
"French horseshoeologlsts think that the
Celts were the first to use the nalled-on
hoes before the Christian era snd that thsy
popularised their use . throughout Gaul,
Germany and England. . Many shoes have
been found In graves, the favorite horses
having been slain and burled with thsir
masters In accordance with primitive be
liefs as to the hereafter. Between the
French town of Langres and Dijon, near
ths spot where Caesar encamped his army
at the siege of AleMa (B. C. 88), small
fullered shoes have been found at a depth
of two or three feet in the ground. Some
have nails In the shape of a Roman T
and are provided with clinches. Othera
ascribed by geologists to the sixth cen
tury have been found in the Bnrneso Jura.
All these had six large, round nail holes,
and opposite to each hole the border of the
shoe Is scalloped. Some shoes had heels
and soma had not; but the heels were
hardly of any size, and. moreover, lacked
strength."
Gowns Should Be Distinctive.
It Is a mistake to attempt to combine in
one gown a costume suitable for too many
occasions, for the result In most cases Is a
dreau that, while in itself attractive, is not
especially suited to any one purpose, and
particularly Is this so with the high gown
of chiffon, crepe de chine or light cloth.
The theater gown must be distinct, and the
high dinner dress for the restaurant, while
quite unlike these costumes, although per
haps fashioned from the aame material, is
the gown for the day at home and after
noon reception, not for the guest, of course,
but the hostess and those who are helpjng
to receive. This house dress Is generally
more elaborately made and Is of more del
icate fabrics, than the evening gown, al
though there are exceptions to every rule,
and it is difficult to draw a sharp line of
contrast between costumes which have so
many points In common, although designed
for such different ends. Ons feature of all
house gowns now Is that they are very
long.
Once more we have the graceful train
which Is becoming to all figures, whether
tall or short, slight or Inclined to be stout.
AU3 skirts are today not so full ss last
year, and many of the new French models
have the flare only at the hem, and hers
are added the numberless little ruchings
and flounces that go to trim the skirt. The
empire waist still Is In the foreground, but
encounters many difficulties, for there are
so few women to whom It Is reallv huriun.
Is today soiling for ISO and 1. and many ; lng, evan in Its most moderate form, while
are renting land in that section for 83. 50
an acre and yot are making a good living.
I was very careful to inquire as to what
effect another crop failure would neve upon
the country. The universal reply was that
the chances of its reappearance now are
very remote In such a severe form as In
1894-96, and even if it did, so prosperous
has the country become under the ' long
continued prosperity that a single crop fail
ure could be easily borne. The planting
f trees throughout the country and -the
use of machinery by which not only the
sod. but the subsoils are completely turned
ovrr, has done wonders in conserving the
moisture tn the soli, while the planting
of better snd more hardy seeds and the
diversification of farming has rendered the
country entirely Independent Of a alngls
crorj. With an annual wheat crop of SO.
000,009 buahela, corn about 8uO,Oor,nu9 bush
els, oats about 68,000,000 bushels, which
crops alone gave a farm -valuo for the
year 19U6 of over 8138,000,000, one cannot
be surprised at the marvelous prosperity
of the farmers of this state. As one travels
westward over the state it is not an un.
common sight to see a farmer traveling for
recreation, after his day's work Is done,
tn a-lanee automobile at a (rent hurst of
speed over the .well-kept country road,
while their homes ars large.' well built
and well kept, with modern Improvements,
such as telephones and often electric llghta,
and tin tuns and outhouses ars mors sub-
also there are so fsw modistes who can
give Just the correct lines to this empire
dress. Princess gowns are far from being
out of vogue, and. Indeed, while wide bells
and narrow are quite correct, the dress
that Is all in one piece is most In favor.
If a collarless yoke is peculiarly becom
ing It Is permissible on this style of dressy
but a high collar Is the more fashlonab'e,
and collars continue to be every bit as high
aa they were two or three months ago.
Among the light-weight houee gowns
striped chiffon and gauze of all descrip
tions bid fair to outclass all other thin tex
tures. Extremely pretty effects are ob
tained In the striped dress by a clever com
bination of striped taffeta chiffon worked In
In little ruchlnss snd ruffles through the
lace flounce Ribbon for such purpose is
better than ruchlngs .made of the gauze.
Cloth will be worn for house gowns, but
In most oases only when It Is necessary for
the one gown to act as theater and lunch
eon dress aa well as reception gown. The
many grades of right-weight silk are almrat
as serviceable as cloth for an all-aroui.d
useful dress, and slk Is slwsys mors com
fortable for the house than cloth, no mat
ter how fine and thin ths quality.
Readwork and ribbon embroidery trim the
handmest reception gowns and ths head
ing has rather taken the place of spangled
and paillette trimming, although these last
are stut fashionable.

It seems sarly for talk of furs, but ths
busy aeason of ths furriers Is slready un
der way and the New Tork Importere are
showing their new models to the early
blrda among their patrons.
Unluckily for the buyers who must eco
nomise, buying good furs this season means
expending more money than would have
been demanded by a similar purchase last
winter. Fine furs have been steadily ad
vancing In price for years past, and thla
year ths advance has been a radical one.
Sable, sealskin, chinchilla, mink, broad
tall; In fact, all furs of that class are mora
than sver costly luxurlea, but despite all
that woman ars briskly buying. In the
province of the low grade furs indications
are that the sales will be tremendous.
Astrakan, for Instance, Is being forced
upon the notice of women who cannot af
ford coats of high-class furs, and the shops
ars full of coats In this fur very smart
coats, too, many of them, though it is
clear that such garments will bs worn to
a distressing extent, and that fact repels
the fastidious woman.
The shaggy, shiny black fur la warm and
becoming and the coats are cut upon all
the modish lines, ranging from the long,
loose motor coat, with collar of contrast
ing fur, to the little square Jacket which
suggests a lengthened Eton, and Is very
popular.
In pony coat length these astrakan coats
ars perhaps at their best and for 850 ons
can buy one of these models, straight In
front, seml-fittlng or quite loose In the
back, collarless, doubts breasted, perfectly
plain and well lined with white or brocaded

Many ofthe modajs are braided In wide,

One French coat of Ruaalan pony which
ws have seen was a remarkably well cut
little garment, a trifle shorter than the tra
ditional pony coat, and quite untrlmmed
save for extremely handeome big buttons
of amethyat aet In dull gold. The aatln
lining waa of a pals amethyst tint and at

models from all the good Paris houses.
and excessively chio examples of the
lengthened Eton the model of which we
have already spoken and which seems to
have no speclflo name ars among these
coats. ,
Francis has a particularly delightful
model of this type In breitschwans, and
some of the little coata are elaborated by
the most exquisite of hand embroidered
waistcoats, showing only when the straight
rronts are thrown back or showing merely
In a narrow line between straight alngls
Dreasted rronts.
Embroidered Garments.
One sees embroidered collars and sleeve
finishing, too, on some of the coats, and
the Indian bead embroideries snd steel. Jet
I and gold head embroideries cut consider
able figure In the trimming of some of the
1 fancy breitschwans models. Motifs of em
broldered velvet are often set upon the fur
I In epaulet, girdle or other forms, and oc-
caslonally a coat shows pipings, buttons,
, etc., of velvet, cloth or silk.
1 One Paris model in caracul was of ths
short paletot order and lines of violet cloth
piping ran from , shoulder to bottom and
around the bottom. Similar piping trimmed
the sleeves and there were little simulated
buttonholes and tiny buttons of the cloth
included in the trimming scheme.
The fronts fastened with square bows of
black liberty satin over narrow waistcoat
of violet cloth and the coat was accom
panled by a skirt of violet cloth trimmed
In a waving band of the black caracul.
From the same Rue Royale houae came
an odd but chtc coat whore upper part waa
a bolero of breitschwans reaching to a
point Just below ths bust, whers It rounded
away gracefully In front and ran up to a
slight point in the middle back. This fur
bolero, almost as thin and suppls af cloth
and beautifully cut and moulded, joined a
black velvet lower part, or what one might
call long basque, of. black velvet seml
flttlng at the waist and falling to three
quarter length.
The line, of union between fur and velvet
was covered by an embroidery of black
and gold and the effect waa semi-empire
Black and gold embroidery bordered the
little collar and the cuffs of black and
white Pekln silk.
Ibices aad Dressy Pars.
Handsome lace is used upon very dressy
fur street coats and upon fur evening coats
but Is mora especially associated with chin
chilla than with any other one fur. This
soft gray fur has become so vre that Its
price Is prohibitive for the a -.vine woman,
but It will be much worn 7 ',wt who can
s"ord It durlna; this gray ecfliw, tnd bands
of it appear upon many e'. t.';e exquisite
1 French frocks.
All sorts of fanciful ilttlo tape and
bolero effects are prsente5 J11 this fur, as
In many others, and the chinchilla ahoulder
wrap aketched here la fairly representative
of this type of wrap, though the variations
sre endless.
Mink of the fine, dark qualities Is well
liked, and no longer rests under the ac
cusation of being the elderly woman's fur.
Only the loose coats are practicable for
such long hair fur as mink or sable, but
now that the short, loose paletot la so
smart mink ts being made up Into co
quettish and youthful little costs of this
type, trimmed or untrlmmed and showing
the furrier's skill in the art with which
the lines of the marking are handled. One
of ths cuts pictures a very successful
French coat on this order and others may
be seen in any of ths fashionable fur shops.
Seal Is higher In pries than ever, but
slways drslrable. and some of the short
seal coats trimmed In embroidery aro
among ths most attractive of the new
models.
The conventional neck pieces of sable,
fox and other long-haired furs are always
correct, but the tendency is toward wl lan.

wider stole and pelerine lines seem to be
obtaining favor. Nsw Tork furriers sre
