GIRL TAKES POISON
Swallows Bi-chIoride of Mercury and
Probably Will Die.

Some time Saturday a twenty-two-
wear old girl at 51S Quincy street, Civ
ing her name as Nellie Name Jones,
attempted suicide by taking several
bi-chloride of mercury tablets. She
became extremely ill at eleven o'clock
Saturday night and DR.. L. V. Sans
was called. He expressed the opinion
that it is doubtful if she will recover
and she showed no concern over her
fate. Before the physician arrived,
F. c. Farrell, who found her sick, had
given her a bottle of grape juice to
drink.
Antidotes were administered by the
physician but because of the time that
elapsed after taking the poison the girl
has few chances of recovery. She de-
clined to state any cause for the at
tempt to take her life
Nobody but me knows the cause
of it," she said, land it's nobody's bust
ness"
It is said that the taking of the poi
son followed a quarrel with another

Plattner-Yale Mfg.
Company

One Of the important manufactur-
ing industries of Lincoln, and new
one at that, is the Plattner-Y Yale
Manufacturing company, which last
fall erected new building at Twenty
first and Y streets of substantial and
modern architecture. The factory is
built of brick and steel, necessary for
business which manufactures water
supply goods, barn hay tools and a
line of implements, consisting of hay
stackers and hay sweeps.
The plant was moved last year
from Denver. 1t takes six travelling
statesmen to cover the territory, while
wholesale arrangements are main
tanned at Omaha, Kansas City, Dem
yer, Oklahoma City and Salt Lake
City. The business takes care of
about $50 employees and at the pres
ent rate of increase will employ 100
more within a year, The company
will have an exhibit at the state fair
which it will pay fair visitors to look
up.
The officers are John Plattncr,
president; K. Fl. Yale, vice president
and general manager; George Platt-
ner, treasurer, and David Plattner
secretary and superintendent.

Supremacy in agricultural lines has
never been denied the state but some
of the states best business men
have not doubted that while this de-
velopment has been uppermost in the
past, manufacturing industries will
come into their own as the years 60
on.
The extraordinary prosperity which
has greeted all lines during the past
two or three years has fastened the
day, too, and in Lincoln as we'll as at
Omaha and elsewhere in Nebraska
signs Of the long-sleep giant awaken
ing have been frequently noted by the
shrewd observers.
Nebraska has ample railroad facili-
ties to serve it and has resources
from which the manufacturing bust
ness can be developed.
Lincoln is in the heart of a great
buying territory, too-as rich as ever
sun shone upon-and there is no
doubt but that the factories which
will yet come will enjoy the same
great successes as those which pion-
eered the way.
Herbert Bushnell, editor of the
Trade Review of Lincoln, has made
an exhaustive study of present condi-
tons. Upon the facts and figures
which he gathered he made deduc-
tons galore. The whole tale, .as he
Omaha daily bee., 1916-08-31

tells it, is an interesting one. 1t is
calculated to open the eyes of the
unbelievers and to give abundant
cheer to those who believing need en-
thusiasm to carry them to the end
of the road. Here is what he says
among other things in his recital OF
facts:
The same consistent increase in the
volume of manufacturing in Lincoln
that has been maintained for the last
five years, made up the record OF
growth for 1915. The manufacturers
output in Lincoln last year exceeded
the output of the previous year by
ST $4,000. The wide distribution of
this increase was mark of the
general prosperity that has been
maintained in manufacturing institu-
tons in the last year. The growth of
the gasoline engine industry is one
of the marked individual features in
1915. The increase in the output of
flour is another large item going into
the increase, while cream products
made a good percent in volume of
business additional over that of the
year previous.
Naturally, a rev industries showed
a decline in volume of output for the
year. Seasonable conditions had to
do with some of these. The gradual
change from steam to electric power
is noticeable in manufacturing lines
and especially have small manufact-
urers practically abandoned individ-
ual power plants. The feeling is
more and more expressed that with
cheap electrical power coming from

One important new industry was
secured for Lincoln last year in the
removal of the Plattner-Yale COM
pany from Denver to Lincoln. This
firm manufactures large line of
farm and well machinery and water
supply machinery and the firm has
come to Lincoln for the purpose of
securing the larger distribution in a
strictly agricultural territory which
Lincoln offers them. The firm on
half block OF ground is erecting a
new. modern plant of several large
buildings and they hope to occupy
them and be actively in business
early in the year.
The Cushman Motor works has
made during the year, extensive i'm
provements to their big manufactur-
ing plant that is moving forward rap
idly and extending its territory wide
ly over the country. The Cushman
Motor company has become one of
the big institutions of Lincoln. As a
central point for the manufacture of
butter and cream products, Lincoln
holds its former high record. Its
three plants did above normal bust
ness in 1915. Omaha and Lincoln are
two of the largest creamery head
quarters in the entire. country and
they give to Nebraska first place
among all states in the manufacture
of creamery butter

of Lincoln is now making arrange
ments for a new distributing plant in
Chicago that will be one of the larg-
est distributing and storage buildings
in the creamery line in the country.

under reorganization, has regained all
lost grounds and is making an ex-
cellent busin SIS record for both the
present and the future. The milling
industry of Lincoln has had a most
prosperous year and one of the big
gest milling plants in the state is To-
Gated in this city. 1t has been an
unusually good year for milling bust
ness and local mills have been run
practically to full capacity all the
twelve months.

ments in the business district of the

ment appears elsewhere in this issue
As distributing point for manuiac-
tured confectionery and ice cream
Lincoln occupies front place. But
it is not with simply the large manu-
featuring institutions that a good
measure of prosperity has come in
1915; it has been a most successful
year with many of the smaller plants
and this is one of the promising things
for the future, because from the small
beginnings, some of the largest insti-
buttons in Lincoln have grown, and
those now we'll founded can antici-
pate an equally satisfactory future.

chimes is taking on new and en-
larged proportions; in foundry and
machine work, there are number Of
old established plants, such as the
Hedges Iron Works and the r. l..
Smith company that furnish work in
their line for large territory.
Automobile repairing, which is a
branch of manufacturing, has grown
extensively in the last few years; in
the manufacture of paints, the United
Paint Manufacturing company opened
their manufacturing plant early in the
year and they have a splendid initial
business for 1915. With the begin
ming Of the new year, the Martin
Senour company. in their new and
enlarged location, will install COM
plete paint grinding machinery, so
that this house, with its large houses
in four other cities, will have a plant
in Lincoln both for manufacturing and
distribution, that will be an important
addition to the paint industry.

average city with a jobbing business
even far in excess of Lincoln bust
ness, The ease and facility with which
territory can be reached from Lin
coin as center brings hundreds of
travelling men to this city to live,
who travel for houses in other places,
and this in addition to the large army
of men employed by Lincoln houses,
makes the city a travelling mems
center, During the last year, thirty
1--WE more travelling men were en-
ploycd by Lincoln houses than dur
ing the year previous. Some of the
new territory is only in process OF
cultivation, and the sales do not yet
increase the total volume of business
10 the extent that they will when
the men in the new fields have their
grounds more thoroughly worked.
Railroad extensions in Wyoming
promise to play an important part in
the increase of Lincoln travelling
men, because territory is being de-
vcloped there through railroads that
will be like much of the entire terri
tory of Lincoln, more tributary to
this city than to any other.
There are some features in the
jobbing trade that are unusually
noticeable. The development of job
bling in automobile lines as mentioned
before, the remarkable development
OF the business OF the Cushman
Motor company-are only two of
many examples of unusual progress
made by the jobbing trade. Lincoln
has long been noted as one of the
greatest cut flower markets in the
west, and its shipments in this line
go into all the states between Ne
braska and the Pacific coast. That
