a Successful Business.

Ten years ago, when houses
of any kind were scarce, a little
Jewelry store found shelter in a
small space with one common
sized window in what was then
known as the Indiana House and
on east Pine street opposite
where ]. Graves now lives. That
little business grew slowly but
surely until the proprietor and
owner now occupies one of the
pre,teist Jeweler stores On
Grant street in the handsome
brick block of F. J. Hansen. We
refer to E. P. Wightman, the
Jeweler, who is we'll stocked up
with a fine assortment of Jewel
cry including watches and rings
and beautiful silverware. 1t is
by square dealing and faithful
attention to business that Mr..
Wightman has attained his pres
ent business success.

One Of the Pioneers.

The we'll known Central Meat
Market on Pine street with F.
Beauchamp proprietor, is sam
pie Of what energy and thrift
will do in Fitzgerald. Mr.. Beau
champ and family CO me here in
the fall of 1895, during the sur
vey Of the colony and opened up
a meat shop in the little building
on Pine street. now occupied by
Heefner's barber-shop and which
is still owned by Mr.. Beauchamp.
At that time his place of business
was in the country but he soon
found himself ia the heart of the
city which rapidly built up arond
hun and his trade demanding
more space because of which he
added the little room in the rear.
And now the capacity in the two
story building in which he I'll rs
bis meat market is crowded.
What next We are unable to tell
but of one thing we are con.
yinced-and that is that people

Russell's Articles.

against. ! have found conclusive evi-
dence that one of the larger Chicago
commission firms at least is securing
advantageous rates. For instance. it
has purchased large amount of grain
at Madrid and ordered the person from
whom 1t was purchased there to bill
the grain locally to Council Bluffs and
to have 1t rebilled from that point to
Chicago. The rate from Madrid is 16
cents. BY billing it this way l find that
the firm gets rate equivalent to half
the rate from Madrid plus / cent or 9
cents to Chicago, and that it is getting
this rate from other points, the sugges-
ton being that the grain shipment
originates west of the Missouri.
Il have not had the opportunity as
yet to investigate otksr complaints
but am advised that the e~commodities
into the state are invariably>r low
er than when shipped out. AM going
to make thorough investigation of
the charges before leaving the state"
