political possimists.
1ildcn Citizen. \ million dollar packing
house is to be built by Phil Armour thiG
season at South Om1 ha. How does this
strike the cruakers as a sample OF rostora-
ton of confidence and a harbiuEur Of tc-
turning prosperity? The investment of 60
large an amount of money In a permanent
Industry by such a keen capitalist will do
more to advertise the stltc Tor good than
can be Offset by all the waiting, whining
pop editors OF Nebraska in a month Of sun
days.
Sidney Telegraph; Phil Armour, the ma
TONS biggest butcher, has decided to build
a 100000 packing house at South Omaha.
The site, which is to cover fifteen acres "
ground. has nearly all been purchased, ami
the surveyors are now at work laying tho
ground plans. The erection of the plant viii
give immediate employment to hundreds Of
laboring men, and after it is completed 1000
men Will be regularly employed. This in
formation will undoubtedly make the cold
chills run up and down the back of the aver
age Nebraska calamity bowler.
Schuyler Herald: South Omaha is TO
have another gigantic packing house to be
built at once by p. II. Armour OF Chicago.
The new plant is to cost a round million
of dollars and will he one of the tmost COM
plete packing houses in the country. This
new enterprise means much for South
Omaha, including steady work for upwards
Of 1000 men. That city is destined to be
come the greatest live stock market on this
continent. If not in the world. All this is

gives him a near and good market for his
stock.
Tekamah Herald: The p. ID. Armour pack
ing house that is now under way at South
Omaha is the best thing that has struck
Omaha for many "A day. Omaha is destined
in the near future to be the largest pack
ing house center and live stock market in
the world. Tokamah is fortunate enough to
be within forty-two miles of it and will
reap some of the benefits. When such
shrewd and experienced business men as Z.
ID. Armour give such evidence Of their con-
fidence in Omaha and Nebraska II is time
for the calamity howlers to take a back
seat.
Ashland Gazette: Phil Armour. the big
Chicago packer, is almost as mean a man as
Mark Hanna. In total disregard of the canons
Of calamity. he has planned to erect a
milliOn-dollar packing house in South Omaha.
The bringing Of that amount of capital into
the state is a dog-gasted insult to every pop
editor in II under any circumstances. but 1t
makes it doubly aggravating to start such
an enterprise in the face of the walls of
calamity that have been emitted and tho
predictions of gloom that have been made.
The new plant will be the largest in Nebraska
and will give employment to 1000 men. It's
an awful outrage to thus discommode our dear
brethren. the prophets of calamity, and to
show the utter foolishness of their pretensions
In the prophet business.

ing house soon to be erected by +. ID. Armour

by a Mr.. FleIehman OF Philadelphia with $780,

facture of sugar and glucose, and backed also
by p. d. Armour of ChiCagp >, Herman kountze,
