Pleasant Recollections Bronght to Mind by the Mention of a Name. Of all fruits grown there is none which appeals go strongly to popular interest as the strawberry, or which brings to mind so many pleasant recollections. The mere mention of the name turns the thoughts of the active man of business away from his work and worry back to the time when as a boy he gathered the luscious fruit in the meadow on his father’s farm, and he can see tho straw- berries as they used to appear on his mother’s table covered with rich country cream, unadulterated by the milkman's villainous pump. The grandmother in lace cap and gold-bowed spectacles lives over again the strawber:y festivals of her youth and listens once more to the pretty little nothings thatset the maiden heart all a-fluttor fifty years ago. The strawberry is pre-cminently the favorite fruit of America, and people never grow tired of it. A fow the strawborry was only to ing a brief period in the spring time, but the improvement in transportation facil- ities has lengthened out the season until the popular appetite for strawberries can be indulged during at least six months of the vear. While winter still holds sway in this section the southern states commence their shipments of strawborries, and long after the mid- summer sun has withered the vines in Nebrash the north sends down her surp'us of the favorite fruit. Last week Branch & Co. received the first shipment of Texas berries from near Galveston, which woro quickly snapped up, Tennesseo and Arkansas berries will come t, and after them southern Missouri and southern Illinc berries The latter will reach this market the last of April or first of May. These southern Illinois berr have become famous in this market dur the past year or two owing to their ex- cellence and the (ine condition in which they arrive. The finest of these be come from Villa Ridge. 1L J. Aldr manager of the Fruit Shippers tion of that place, was in th week and made Branch general western agents Villa Ridge fruit. der this ar- rapgement the berries will be shipped direct from the gavdens to Branch & Co., and be distributed them in Omaha and the tributary te tory. This was tried on a smaller sc last yeur and worked so well that Mr. Aldrich sa that his association will place a fresh car of berries in Omaha every day during the season. This will keep Omuha supplied with the cheicest and freshest fruit t can be had. Branch & Co. have so arranged with growers in the different states that Omaha will receive a steady supply of b from spring to full. ~After the Southern Illinois berries have disap- peared they will receive the St. I beretes and follow the crop as it goes north to the end of the season. s can bo ascertained at the present time the strawberry crop in the southern states will amount to only about twc-thirds of the phenominal crop year but at the samo time thero a fair supply. last Co. the city & for it NFAL'S BARBER BILL. %he County Asked to Pay Liberally for Murderers’ Tonsorial Indebtedness, The bills that wero contracted by the late Ed Neal while he was temporarily residing at the county jail continue to Le as numerous as the sands of the sca.

The public has « sort of vague notion that newspaper men ave ‘“dead heads,” and yet most people do not know actly how, or why it shouid boso. It is perhaps due tho public that some light be thrown upon the matter. The newspaper is both respactod and foared Dy the raiivoad corporation. And it has every reason to both fear and respect it. The press is a power which these ¢ porations regard it necessary to conci ate and as fav as possible control. It is their aim to secure the influence of the press in their favor. and so far as possi- bie deprive the public of the benefiv of it. Above and beyond all, the railronds cone as vitally necessary the good will, at least,of the press. In the gate it is a power that molds public sen- timent, a factor that nothing can su ully contend against, and the man- ipulation of which ie a part of the policy of railroad ma ment. It has there fore from time immemorial almost, been customa; for the railroads to secure tho good will of the press formulate public seatiment i ion by a method le and compensating to s it is humiliating if not degrading, though slightly remun- to the newspaper proprieto; the guise und flimsy pretext of is known as an advertising con- tract these corporations profl country paper the ‘‘courte transportation in ? of free way, He ry count matter how insigni As fully 100 per cent of the country newspapers are uncomfortably, even horribly poor, and the average neyw: paper mun and his wife, like othe ple, have frequent occasion to tr rail, for profit o pleasure, the proffered pas nccepted not only with avidity but frequently, if not ge ally solicited with pertinucity. In other words, ever newspaper, bigand little, strong or pu rile, procurcs and has the benefit of these *‘courtesies,” of more or less value, according the proprictor has f to use them much or little. It is a species of discrimination which other people en- gaged in lines of business that co not affect, influence or control public senti- ment do not i nd and the new: ble *courtes) much. The expre: volved in this ‘‘cc ct” is that the newspaper shall advertise the business and facilities of the railroad corporation, So the contract is perfectly legiti- mate. But the implied obligation of the contract as understood by the rail- road company. is thut the newspaper either refrain from discussin Les in which the rights and benefits of the public are involved to the detriment of those of the railroad, or if they ave dis- cussed, it is to be done from the stand- point of advantage to the railronds. ‘Phat is to say, thoughk ostensibly the newspaper in return for the discriminat- ing *courtesy” referred 10 is e to make compensation by legitimate ad- yertising, it in fact, by accepting the terms of the contract, hasgif it does it as it is contemplated by the corporation it shall do, bartered away its independ- ence, sold itselfl to the corporation, and actually committed the crime of forsak- ing the interests of the public whom 1t is always under an implied if not expressed oath to serve scrupu- lously to the best of its ability, And this is the reason why you sce so little manly, independent, and unintelli- gent comment in the country pre:s upon the issues in which ure involved the several interests of the public on one side and railroads on the other. Thes conservators of the publicinterests, gen- erally be it said to J ir eredit, uninten- tionally or thoughtlessly, scll them- selves, their power, their manhood for a mess of pottage. All this looks very bad. It is bad, But there is unother side to it. There are things in this world called dema- gogues, ome of them are in the news- puper business, us they are to bo found i other kind of busine In business as in politics they are garroters, They grapple for the life-blood. Hos- tility to railroads affords the most ex- cellent theme for the demagogue and enables Lim to display all his powers to full advantage. Then there is u s¢ of undefined feeling of hostility on the part of the people at large agninst rail- roads. People only kuow that they en- tertain it, though they ecannot explain why. The deeper their feclings of hostility und the less informed they are, the less uble though more con vinced they are of their ability to deiine it. It therefore amounts just simply to antagonisi against railroads on general principles. Crusades against railrouds sunply because they are railroads is as unreasonable as it is unjust. Against this public hostility and from these demagogues the railroads are driven by necessity to protect themselves and their interests, The railroads are n and powerful, yet poor and weak when they come in contact with public senti- ment. The country prees is poor but powerful almost beyond comprehension when in line with public sentiment. The railroads therefore, through the strate- gic medium of the “advertising con- tract,” courteously strike the country press in its, weakest point, and by assuming the sem lance of certain ‘rules and regula- tions” restrain editors from hecoming in- RS . - . { . “ T e —— ———— ', portation, and at the same time retain the good will of the newspapers, obtain immunity from oriticism of their ims roper practicey and In a majority of caged sdture the really affirmative though tacit support of the recipientsof their ‘“‘courtesies’'* The .u.lfug elo- ment in jouraalism compels the rai roads 1o treat the proprietors of the press, na n rule, ns demagogues, and they do it. They do it upon the cheap- ost and most economical terms to them- solves thoy can devise, and for this no one should blame them. 'I'here are none of us but that would protect ourselves and our business interests in the same way il the necessity existed and we had the menans. No other business intorests, however, finds it necessary to subsidize the press in this manner. The railroads do not care a farthing for advertising facilities of the country piess and they extend the “‘courtesy™ of their patronage in the manner indicated only and solely for the purnose of regulating public sentiment. 1f the entire press of the country were frec to express itself us public sentiment dictates upon many of the issues in which railroad interests are involved, those interests would suffer incomparabls injury and none know nor approcinte that fact so well as the rail- roads themselves, And it will be a sorr) day for railrond interests when by law or'by force of eircumstances, they are compelled to discupt their present lations with the press and the latter is free to discuss the great corporation question as it meist and will soonee or later, be discussed. The public is get- ing tirved, The present method by which the press is subsidizod and brought into sub- Jugation to railvond interests at the ex- pense of his own honor and manhood, is simply one of the forms of discrimina- tion against which there is much and so pronounced public protest. Diserimina- tion is the bine of railrond management, is @ curse to the country and an evil that must and will bo suvpressed. And the s going 1o be the means of aceom- plishing this great consummation. There is an element of manhood, integ- constituency in the countr, will before many years manifest and ns- sert itsell, It 10 be hoped and pected wlien that time comes tha will be as vegardful of the just rights and interosts of vailroads, as it has been regardless in many aspects, of the vights and interests of the public in times past. R MAKING THE BOOMERANG. Australian Co, This Weupon Acking it With His Tongue, ro Ilived close to aa ab- amp in New South Wales, Arthur Howlett Coates in St. ‘hotas. This camp was only about yards from our settlement and it s my daily custom to walk over to the moovong, as they eall it, and study the habits of the blackfellows, as the original natives of Australia are culled. I'was naturally move intorested in the boomerang than in uny other of their weapons, and with a little practice soon learned to throw it. In the language of this tribe, the Wong-ei-bong, which is situated in the Bogan river region, the boomerang is called u womera. I shali therefore call it a womern. The womera is made from what is tech- nically known asan “elbow” from the kurrawung tree, and sometimes from tho yarran and myall tre All of these trees belong to thoe aeacia tribe and havo ented wood, The blackfellow, having found a suit- able elbow, chops it out of thy tree and, as it is lly too heavy to carry home, trims it on the spot into the rough outline of the forthcoming weapon. After about two hours’ labor the wom- era will be ucted to three or four pounds weigiit, but it is still a long wa from being a finished weapon. As it now appears it is a flat, heavy club, longer and thinner at one arm than at the other. The black is a decidely lazy specimen of the human specics, and he will as often us not lay aside his un- completed weapon for i week or per- haps a longer period. When he resumes work the wood will have become hard and dry, and consequently difficult to work upon, but it never once oceurs to him that he is now paving for his former indolence. Time, however, is of little or no consequence to the black. After some further paring down the weapon is charred all over, and this part of the work is quite skillfully done, 10 one purt being more burned than un other. The charcoal is chipped off and the black fellow then licks the wea all over with his tongue and places it in nsmoky fire of green boughs, wh warms it and 1 it quite pliable. e BEAUTY’'S SLUMBER ROBE. Threo years 1 Too Sweet for Anything—Exquisite Model- ing and Stitehing. 1t you look in the dictionary, snys the New York Sun, you will find thata “nightgovn is'a loose gown worn for n sleeping garment,” 1f you look on the lingevic counters you will discover that it is a vesture of film fritled with lace, fluttering witn ribbons, dainty enough for a fairy’s bridal dress, but costly, ns if for a queen’s adorning., You will learn that the frail little garment is governed by a fashion quite as arbiteary. as that which menas- ures tho height of a dainty crown and regulates the roll of n dress- cout collur, This season the fancy in these gowns is for a greater elaborate- ness of decoration than ever before, but the profusion of trimming tolerates only the finest und most delicate of laces and emb.oideries. While you wait for some obliging sales girl to submit her stock to your inspection you reflect on a lot of things about the guuze and frills,besides their construction. First of all, you think how the thrifty housewife, that has always made her own things of th kind out of unbleached muslin, nccord- ing to the patterns handed down from her foremothers, would stare if you told her that elegant women could not get their undergarments made satisfactorily in this country; that the practical Amer- ican mind failed to Interpret the poetr) of petticoats und chemisc We are in too much of a hurry, too lately descend- ed from the butcher shop and groc to have the inherent artistic feeling necessary to create the nightgown beau- tiful.

WHAT PRESIDENT M'SHANE PROMISEQ W Hurry the Work Until the Tine is by Operation—Citizens Oppo e Vot Ing of Any Additional Sehool Bonds Thiy Vear, The news that the long delayed decision it the N street injunction case had at last been renderod, was roceived with considerabia satisfaction in South Omaha. Tho strect has been torn ub now for over thiree months aud the property ownors had exhausted thoir pi tince some timo ago. The unsightly heaps of half-decayed cedar blocks piled up in the center of the main business street of thecity were an eyesors allke to property ownors and podestrians, and thoir romoval will ba uailed with delight. “Thore seoms to bo no doubt that the Mete ropolitan Strect Railway company will begin tho work of construction at once, now that the Injunction {s removed. Join A Shane, prosident of the company, said yo tordny that work w ould be recommencod agt once. “We have moant business from the start,’” le said, “but wo have been delayed by cire tunces over which we had no control, verything was ready to proceod with the construction ot the road when the injunction stopped us, and wo will try to make up lost time. Tho general sentiment in South Omaha is n favor of another stroet railway line, A few property owners on the course of the new line on N street from Twenty-fourth to “TI'wonty-sixth aro afraid that the prosence of the tracks will be more or loss a detriment to the street, but on goneral principles they favor competition. Tho residents of tha Fourtl ward will be the most benofited by the new line, s it will give them rim access both o the business part of South Omaha and to Omah, AGAINST THE PROPOSITION. Citlzens Very Mueh Opposed to Voting ditionul Sehool o The Board of Education is realize that the resolution to vote &2 bouds for new school houses 1s likely prove a boomerang. There s a strong opposition to the plan amone the largest property owners and most iufluential busi- ness mon of the city and it is difficult to find acyone outside of the four memvors of tho board who voted for the bond proposition who 1sin favor of it. The sentinient is not so much antagonistic to voting bonds but it is the general opinion that to vote them this r iy o piece of usoloss extravagance. Tha oducational department of the city is more liberally supplied with funds than any otber. e funds bave been expended liverally also and continual and extensive improveiuents have boen made during the existenco of the present board, Tho voters are willing that tho generous revenuo from licenses should be expended as the board sees fit, but they ave unwillng to hond the city for any further improvements this year. Mayor Sloano said 3 uy: “The citfgis heavily louded with bonds at tho presert tume. 1f an; more are to be issued there ara places whero the money is more needed than Tor the purposes mentioned by the Bourd of Educatlon. Iam unalterably opposed to the bond proposition.” . C. M. Hunt said when asked tis opinion 1am sure that the school fund is suflicient for nll present necessities and am cpposed 10 adding to it,” George W. Massau said: “I am opposed to voting the bouds because I can sce nd proper reason for such action.” W. B. Berry said: *Iam certain to voting bouds now for what we W a year or two hence.”! 3x Councilman Molcher, fohn McWilliam, J.

It has been! customary for the mayor 1o issuo the pros| clamation calling the election and thus mako, the city liable for tho expeuse. Mavoy Sloane says that he 1s in doubt whether the is obliged 1o pay the piper for the terns, sichorean antics of tho Board of Iducation! and will not issue a proclamation until soma understanding is reached. ut Calico Bal Tho calico ball given by tho Young Bgos plo's Social club in Knights of Phythias b ‘Thursday evening was both uniquo and o joyablo.
