Something At'out the Mont Popular
or All Small lYullH.
While tlio strawberry is u small fruit
nnd perishable , It is so generally es
teemed as a most desirable luxury that
the growing and marketing of this fruit
has como to be a very important indus
try , giving employment to many thou
sands of people. Tno popular appetite
has bccomo so strong for the luscious
Irult that strawberries , like lemons , are
to bo found on the market almost the
whole year round. In December
California sent her berries hereto
to delight the eye and tickle
the palate of the oplcure and It was not
many weeks later when Georgia and
Florida berries found their way to Oma-
lia. Then came the Louisiana and
Texas crop and wo are now getting
Tennessee nnd Arkansas berries. A lit
tle later will come southern Missouri
fruit , but the finest of all strawberries
are these grown In St. Louis county ,
Misslourl , which will bo on the market
In about ton days or two weeks' . No
other berries have over been found
equal to thorn In color , flavor or keeping
qualities , and in a very few years an
enormous demand for them has sprung
up all over the country. W. J. Shaw
or St. Louis may almost bo said to have
originated the business of shipping
strawberries from that city , and it is
through Shaw it Richmond's "Star
Hrand" that these berries have
become famous from the Rocky
mountains to New Vork. Omaha
has already become familiar with
these berries through Hranch & Co. ,
who have the exclusive handling of
them in this city. Mr. Shaw was hero
last week and made arrangements for
an enlarged business this season and
promised his local representative ,
Hranch & Co. , to give his personal at
tention to the selection of stock for ship
ment to Omaha and that this city should
have the very best Shipments from St.
Louis arrive in Omaha in so few hours
that parties from outside towns can ob
tain tlio very best ft nil in the very best
condition by placing their orders hero.
Thisuit.yatul'tributary country are fortu
nate and the public appetite for the most
delicious of all fruits will bo satisfied.
OW TO CINCINNATI.
Independent DclcK.itcu Talk ol * Their
AimHiind l'ro-i | > fts.
Congressman ICoin of Brokou Bow , with
the following independent delegates to the
Cincinnati conference , registered at the
Barker last night : J. H. Powers , independ
ent candidate for governor in the last cam
paign ; Senator Dysnrt of Superior ; J. W.
Coulter. Hastings ; D. IX Remington , Scward ;
O. J. Blandln , Franklin county ; A. J. Scott ,
Kearney ; O. Nelson. Schuyler ; H. J. Hall ,
Greeloy Center ; S. E. Thornton of the Inde
pendent , Lincoln.
Mr. Kom said that the independent party
of the state would bo represented in the con
ference by about one hundred mid llfty dele
gates. These would bo appointed by 'the
partv nt largo and by Individual alliances.
This number , however , would not Include
these who might bo appointed by the Knights
of Labor. The conference would Lo repre
sentative of n largo number of organizations ,
and m It would , of course , bo a largo number
of ideas. It was not unlikely that some
of the delegates would go there
with hobbies , but ho did not think
that these would in any manner engross the
attention of the body of the conference. The
result of the assembling would doubtless bo
the nomination of a national ticket in the
campaign of IS'J'J. He could not state who
would bo the nominees of the party. So far
as ho was concerned his choice for president
would bo Mr. Weaver of lown.
The recent decision of the snpromn rourt
ousting Boyd , did not , ho thought , liavo to
much effect upon the democrats who wore
joining the alliance us did Boyd's veto of the
Newberry inilroad bill.
Kegardlng his sentiments on the question
of Thavpr's succeeding Boyd , the congress
man said it was a case of dog cat dog while
somebody else stood by nnd cried "seek "em. "
The independents In the next election would
poll from twenty to thirty thousand more
votes than they did last year and ho thought
that that was about all they needed. J'eoplo
would not believe this estimate. Neither
would they believe him when ho prophesied
the number ol votes which the party would
poll in tlio campaign of Ib'JO ' , nor yet when ho
told them ho was going to bo elected. Gov
ernor Thayer was endeavoring to throw u
sop to the independents when offering as ho
did a few days ngo to John Powers , late In
dependent candidate for governor , the po
sition of deputy labor inspector. But Mr.
Powers , ho claimed , would not think of ac
cepting the ofllco.
Senator Dysnrt of Superior , who was onn
of the most uncompromising Independents in
the Into legislature , said :
"The coming meeting In Cincinnati will bo
simply n conference. Independents , alliance
people , the grange , Knights of Labor , and
all Independent labororganlzatlons , will sim
ply confer and nyrhnrs adopt n common plat
form on which they may stand together In
IS'JU. There Is no talk of nominating a
national ticket now. 1 can hardly say what
principle the conference will adopt , but I
apprehend ihoy will bo more or
less like these of our own party.
There are two points , 1 think , will
ho covered , namely : Money nnd railroads.
Wha1 action will bo taken on the money
question I cannot say , but the move which 1
shall advocate will bo the issue of money on
the greenback plan for the needs of the
peoplo.
"i do not think that the ousting of Boyd
has had the effect of driving democrats into
our party. It was Boyd's own action in ve
toing the railroad bill which is sending them
over to us.
"I don't think Thnyor wants to call n spe
cial session of the legislature any more than
Boyd did. Ho wouldn't bring us together
for the purpose of passing n railroad bill bo-
cnusn I don't think ho wants a bill any more
than Boyd did , and It would hardly pay to
liavo ui Drought together to pass an appor
tionment bill. Even it the law does sav nn
apportionment bill shall be passed alter the
enumeration has been made , the fuel that no
such bill was passed ought to cause the matter
tor to bo hold over till the next session "
Hard Ijiiok Indeed.
William Scott , n South Omaha cook , waste
to have been married last evening , but the
strong arm of the law wound Itself around
him and spoiled his fun.
For some time past William has boon finan
cially embarrassed. After recolvintr his
week's pay yesterday ho found it was not
enough to liquidate the expenses necessary at
n marriage ceremony.
Scott was not the man to bo balked by such
trlllas and so commenced to look around for
means to raise the wind. A suit of clothes
belonging to Phelps , a South Omaha commis
sion man , caught his eye and ho appropriated
them.

At this season when so many contom-

in foreign countries.
If the traveler carries actual money
ho runs mi undue risk of losing it by
theft or accident. If ho carries drafts
ho has not the freedom to draw in each
place and country just the amount ho
needs there , but is bound to col
lect their full amount In the particular
places drawn upon , which will
bo especially aggravating If ho changes
his place of travel. To obviate all this
the Omaha National bank Is prepared
to Issue circular letters of credit avail
able In all parts of the world. Hy moans
of those letters of credit just the amount
the traveler requires can be obtained
anywhere in the currency of the country
until the amount of the letter is ox-
hnustoil. These letters servo at once to
Introduce , the tourist to ar eminently
respectable bank in .vhats-oovor city ho

ANOTHER SYSTEM.
The Omaha National bank i.s also nn
agent for the Cheque bank of London
cheques. The.so cheques are sold singly
or in books. They can bo filled out by
the holder the same as the ordinary
cheque. The cheques are cashed by the
principal banks and most of the
steamship lines and hotels receive them
in payment of passage , freight or ho
tel bills. Travelers purchas-lng cheques
tire supplied with special letters of
identification. Tlio security is tlio best
in tlio world for the reason that the
bank's capital nnd guarantee fund are
invested in Hrili h government securi
ties , and securities of an unqucntioimblo
character. They have tlio hiirhost In
dorsement of leading banks nnd all who
have used them. For full information
