REAL ESTATE HARPIES. Omahs, in common with many other citles in the west, has suffsred from the selfishness and greed of real estate owners. These land ahatksare one of the worst ourses which afflict the young and growing citles of the west. When times are dull and real eatate is depressed theso harples sweep down upon the most desirable Joca- tions and hold them tor » future ad- vance. They will neither improve thelr property themselves nor sell itat reasonable figures for others to im- prove. By their selfish dog-in-the- manger policy they obstruc the de- velopment of the city and drive away intending investors to other snd more generous locations, Thousands of men have come to Omaha In the last fifteen yoars with <spital to invest in merchandizing and manufacturing fn- terests. They have bargained for property owned by real estate grab- bers and taken these harples at their word, only to see the price at once advanced - beyend all reason. Such men have indignantly shaken the dust of Omsha from off their feet and left never to return. These land sharks are persistently opposed to all pub- lic improvements, because they would then be forced to contribute to the general good in the shape of tax- e, They refuse to en- gage In business enterprises of public wmtility, will ‘eontribute nothing to schemes requiring aid, and block the wheels of progress as they stand with their hands in their pock- ete complacently watching the In- crease of value which is given to their lsnd by the labors and capital and enterprise and publis spirit of the busy workers who make up the mass of the community around them. Cities are not alone in the Infliction of these land sharks. In the country large tracts of valusble Jand, which should furnish homes for hundreds of thrifty settlers, are held by absen- tee speculators who hold them at pricés‘which no one can afford to psy for them.

It was its duty as an enterprising newspaper to give the ' news from across the river, and It did #0 graphically but faithfally just as itdatly gave reports of the state of affatrs in Omaha and in towns for- ther pp the river. It exaggerated nothing and 1t comcealed mothing.

The opinion of the rallroad compa- nies which were prevented from passiug through that town to reash Omsha, would SIl whole volumes, while the wreck of the stock yards, the departed sidewalks, the empty houses, and the thousands of acres of mud which now cover the town speak louder than words.

The National Educational associa- tion will meet at Atlanta this year on July 19. The Illinols state university has now 380 students and a newly-elected regent, Dr. Peabody. The Massachusette house of repre- sontatives has rejected the bill giving to teachers a more settled tenure of office. Presidents Porter and McCosh are to give lectures at the Concord echool of philosophy during the coming sum- mer. The Tilinols state normal univerrity has s usefol summer session for teach- ers lasting four weeks, and providing free instruction and discussion. The brothers Vassar are about to establish in Poughkeepsie an Inatitu- tion which is to resemble the Cooper Tustitate, and which will be called the Vassar Tustitute. The German Universitles during the past winter term instructed 21,- 164 students. Borlin had the largest number—4,107. Heidelburg and Strasburg had the greatest number of foreigaers. The Michigan leglslatvre 1s consid- ering s bill providing for uniform and cheaper text booxs, the books to be chosen by a superintendent of in- straction and four commissioners ap- polated by the government. There are eight girls’ schools in Ita- Iy directly under government control, and there are also an infinfte number of private schools for which the gov- ernment regards as a regular system of inspectton as essential. A minorlty report to the Milwau- kee school board declares that our stems of education bave long been sulty in deyoting too much time to language acd too little to those things which have direct bearing upon the common work avd duties of life. A petition to the government for shortening the school hours is belng circulsted in Berne, Switzerland. Two other desirable things are in- cluded in this petition for the tanita- tlon of the schools—the erection of school workshops and & more stiingent insistancs upon personal cleanliness. The school funds provided Georgia during the past year amounted to £315,748; this was 73 cents per capita of the school populatior, $2.39 of the sverage attendauce. Commissioner Ozr urges the making of larger ap- propristions, pointing out the dangers of illiteracy. He recommends an ad- ditional property tax and also one on dogs. He especially asks the people to authoriza local levies. IMPIETIES. They say Rev. Joseph Cook recent- ly tried to speak through a telephone, snd the firss word broke the wire in three places. Raveas fed the prophet Elijsh in ancient days, but golden eagles feed the propbets of the present day. — Whitel Times.

The Onelda community, at Niagara Falls, is golng to build a spoon fac- tory. There s so much » by bridal couples at Niagara Falls, that such a factory may be necessary there. The Catholic Bishop ef Detroit has issued a pastoral letter forbidding the holding of any plenic excursions by water or rail. This could hardly be improved upon, unless a ukase against carrying custard pies aloog was also ‘promulgated. A lecturer recently invited the street gamins of Cleveland me and hear the story of the prodigal son. In that pact of the story where the father ex- claims, *‘This, my son, was desd and is" alive sgain,” the speaker acked, “Was his son really dead!” One of the urchins replied, **Not by a mill site— ‘only dead brok The young man who hammers his thumbnail this spriog while putting down carpets, or who is violently caught under the chin by a clothes-line when he goes out In the yard after dusk, should remember that in the re- vised edition of the New Testament the words have been changed to “hades” and ‘‘condemnation.” A small boy attended church the other evening. Just before the con- gregation was dismissed the pastor gave notice that there would be ser- vice at seven o'clock the following ovening, and requested the people to attend.

Wi of delicate roses, ending fine sprays of rose leaves and moss Dbuds, are worn under the oddly curved brims of the stylish and picturesque ish round hats, There is no evidence of any waning in popularity of the short drees; on the contrary, it is more firmly estab- lished than ever it has been, because it is more sensible in its style, and more exact in proportioas. The tunic jacket in foulard Sursh, with stending frill, jabot and flowing sleeves of lace, will be much worn in the morning at watering places over a round skirt made entirely of plain silk and lace plaitings. The Mother Hubbard cloak Is still a very fashionable wrap, aud is made this spring of very light and fine lady’s cloth in delicate colors. It is lined with colored silk, and the hood is trimmed with rioh cords snd tassels.
