For several clays the happy home of
Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Harkness has been
under a shadow caused by the illness of
their infant daughter , who about n week
ago was taken with membraneous croup ,
and has been gradually grxnung worse
despite the combined skill of physicians
and tcndcrcst care of parents. Yester
day morning the white ribbon on the
door told to friends that the worst fear
had been rcali/.ed. Little Blossom , as
Kite was fumiliarly known in the house
hold .and the circle of friends , was
a beautiful child , a favorite witii all. She
would have been three years old had she
lived till March. The sorrow is a heavy
ono to the household in which the little
ono was almost idolized , and the lender-
cst sympathy is felt by the many friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Harkness have ever been
ready to bring cheer and comfort into
the homes of others , and in this great
sorrow of their own the heart ot the very
community seems to pulsate with sym
pathy for them. The funeral hervices
will bo held at the residence Fiiday after

The bright future of Council Blufts ,
dazzling as it Is , is by no means confined
to this city. Owing to all of Douglas
county's farms being platted as additions
to Omaha , stock men and horse men are
now looking up good farms within reach
of Council Ulufls. Mr. W. H. Green , a
noted real cstato man of Omaha , was
hero yesterday interviewing the real
estate men as to location , prices and
terms of good farms within an hour's
drive of this eity , Mr. Walker drove Mr.
Green out to several farms cast of the
city , and expects to close deals for Home
of them soon. It is predicted that good
farms will soon be as good as gold at
prices ranging from $100 to $200 per aero
within ten miles from this city. Conn
ell mulls' boom has just begun.

Wanted The whereabouts of Smith.
Any information concerning him will bo
thankfully received by Wright , Huldwin
& llsiUlenc , or by the shoriir.
The above is the syllabus of a case be
fore Judge A losworlh ycstcrtiay. The
story of the case is about as follows : At
torney Sims , on behalf of the prohibition
alliance , recently filed petitions asking
for injunctions against about forty saloon
men. Accompanying thcso petitions
were affidavits signed by A. 11. Smith and
John llarmsen , stating that they had
purchased liquors , both whi ky and beer ,
in these places , Wright , Baldwin As Hal-
done , who are attorneys for the saloon
men , began examining into tlm matter.
The petitions for injunctions are to
come up before Judge Tliornoll
to-morrow. It is claimed that
Smith mill llarmsi'ti , as shown by
thicr affidavits , visited twenty-four
saloons , and got beer and whisky .it each ,
drank it. or tasted it , all in forty-eight
hours , or , as it is figured out , averaged a
drink everv hour for two days. It is esti
mated that they must have been too full
to have known what they were up to. or
that they must nave been pretty good
liars themselves , One affidavit is to the
ell'ect that thev purchased drinks of
Charles liarghalisen , while , as claimed ,
llarghauscn has not been in the business
for several months. Another affidavit is
to the ellect that they bought also of John
Cramer , No. 72 ! ) Broadway , when in fact
that is a vacant lot. and Cramer , who
used to keep a saloon at No. 7'21 Broad
way , has been out of the state for a year
past , and now lives in Lincoln.
These circumstances have led to the
filing of an information in Justice
Sclimv.'s court charging these two men
with perjury. The trouble now seems to
bo to find who these men are , anil where
they are. In order to got this informa
tion proceedings worn commenced to
compel Air. Sims , L. W. Tulloys ami O.
O. St. John to ijivo up any information
they might possess concerning the where
abouts of these two men. Special inquiry
was directed about Smith. Alter trying
in Justieo Biggs' court in > ain , and also
in Justice bchur/'s court , yesterday
Judge Aylesworth , of the superior court ,
was petitioned. He crantcd the request ,
and these three were subpiunaid and ex
amined. There was very little to bo
learned. It appeared that Mr. Sims
knew how ho could got the men here
when they were wanted , and assured Mr.
Ilaldeno that they would be hero
in duo time , but he did not know their
present whereabouts. These men had
been the rounds of the saloons and had
used various devices to get a taste of
liquors without getting drunk. In most
cases they watched their chance while
the bartender was busy making change ,
or otherwise engaged , and would pour
into the c.ispidorea the surplus , after
tasting it and making sure what it was.
The men wore paid their expenses and
a a day. the total bill being about $ l0. !
Beyond this information , given under
protest , there was little to bo had. The
assurance is given that the mysterious
Smith and his equally mysterious com
panion will he hero at the time the cases
come up for hearing.

A Union Depot.
For some time past there have Dcen
numerous reports of a scheme on foot for
the buildincof the long desired union
depot m this city. Such an cntei prise
has been much discussed. It has been
hoped for by all , but there has been some
obstacles in the way , and some practical
indifference despite the theoretical en
thusiasm. The first real move to secure
the enterprise was made a matter of rec
ord yesterday. Articles of incorpora
tion wore filed of a company to bo known
as the Union Depot and Railway com
pany. The inconorators are John T.
Stewart , Samuel Haas , J. J. Brown , K ,
II. Merriam , Thomas Officer , Thomas
J. Evnns , George V. Wright and Horace
Everett.
Those witli G. M. Dodge form the board
of directors. The capital stock is fixed
at $000,000. This much of u start is
shown by the papers on record.
It Is understood that quite u portion of
stock has been subscribed , und that there
is every indication of a successful carryIng -
Ing on of the enterprise. It is reported
that the railways entering the city are all
favorable to the enterprise , and that all
but one have expressed themselves as
willincr to enter heartily Into the plan.
The proposed location of such it depot is
not yet announced , but it is understood
that the plan now is for its location near
the gas works , and possibly fronting on
Main street. If located anywhere in that
part of the city It will bo of great advan
tage to the cify at largo , and allbrd ac
commodation which the city now needs
badly.
Foster's Now Catalogue.
W. II. Foster & Son have just issued
from the HKB office their now illustrated
annual catalogue of greenhouse and bed

plants. The catalogue Is very complete ,
well arranged for reference , and those
desiring it can secure it by addressing W.
II. Foster & Son , Council Hind's. Mr. Fos
ter's greenhouses wore established hero
in 187U , and his name has become a famil
iar one in this line , The proprietors give
their entire time and attention to the
business , and are yearly enlarging their
facilities , their stock and their business.
The shipping advantages arc such that
for a largo extent of the western country
the plants can be received on the same
day they leave the greenhouse horo.
Those desiring llowcrs should send for
one of these illustrated catalogues , /rom
which they can readily make choice selec
tions , and customers at a distance can
root assured of as prompt attention and
satisfactory dealings as if hero in person.

IN A TELEPHONE EXCHANGE.
Troubles and Annoyances to Which
the Girls Are Subject ,
I visited the telephone exchange , says
n writer in the Boston Post , for the first
time yesterday. 1 beheld , as the door
was opened.twenlyuomolyyoung women
sitting in a long row in easy arm-chairs ,
before tables with endless apparatus be
fore them. That was the first fact that I
grasped. The next one was that these
girln wcro not shouting at all. There was
a low distinct murmur , and that was all.
As I approached nearer i could hear , in
tones not much above a whisper , the
over-monotonous "Hollo ! hello ! " "No ,
128. " "Hello ! hello ! " "Yo-osl" "Good-
by I" but ono clear voice , in a good
speaking tone , might have been heard
plainly across that whole room above
all the business of maKing the connec
tions for over two thousand people.
Every girl had strapped upon her head ,
or rather hold there by its own grip , an
apparatus composed of crossed steel
bands , which held a small telephone re
ceiver to her car. Before her.dangling by
a long wire in just such a position as to
hang exactly in front of her mouth , was
the transmitter. Each girl loaned back
in a comfortable attitude , and seemed en
tirely oool and unconcerned , while both
hands were occupied in inserting wires
with metal plugs at their ondsiutn certain
holes before her and pulling them out
again. There were rows upon rows of
these little apertures , and every one of
them represented somebody's telephone
number. Each girl takes care of a
limited number of calls , which are
signaled to her by the dropping of a little
metallic tablet with the number of the
caller'h instrument upon it , but she has
within her reach , in those Jittlo aper
tures that I have mentioned , every one
of the telephone numbers within the
radius of the exchange.

have found that girls of good physique ,
healthv young women , are much less
liable to irritation nml impatience , mueli
less likely to'get rattled , ' than those who
are a little weak or ill. It is not that the
work wears upon them so that only
women of unusual physique can stand it ,
but that wo must have operators who are
likely to keep their tempers and main
tain coolness of demeanor. Does it
deafen them ? 1 know of hut one case of
an operative's hearing being affectedand
that might easily have been from some
other cause. They do not scorn to suffer
much nervously , though there was ono
ca o of hysteria hero last week. Ono
of the girls that ono with the slender
figure and dark hair , war the end of the
line got confused and 'rattled , ' as wo
call it , over a series of vexations , and
asked to have a substitute placed in her
chair. You see. that we keep live
substitutes m the room to relieve
these who desire to be relieved at
any time. Well , this .young woman went
into the girls' waiting room and had an
attac'k of hysteria thoro. Not infre
quently something occurs on the lino-
somebody gets impatient and loses his
temper which troubles the girls. They
generally go into their room and have a
good cry and come back tceling better.
They certainly seem to like the work ,
though the pay is only $7 a week. The
hours are not long , they sit all day , they
are relieved when needful , and the actual
work seems to be agreeable to them. "
There was a strumming bound under
the superintendent's table. He held a
telephone receiver to his ear and talked
through a movable transmitter on the
table , "Certainly , " he said , in a low
tone , " 1 will relieve you. " Ho _ sum
moned a young woman from the window
and motioned to her to take the chair of
one of the operators , lie hail been talk
ing with one of the girls not fifteen feet
away over the telephone. She could have
spoken to him through the air by turning
her head , but it would have made a little
noise and confusion in the room , and this
modern tower of Babel , this vocal con-
sorium of a whole citj.isas quiet as a
public library reading-room. The sub
stitute girl took the other's ' place , two
"calls1' came tumbling clown at the same
instant , and somebody was undoubtedly
vexed because ho was not answered for
an instant while she was making the
other connection. But it takes but an
instant.
" We like to have people who have tel
ephones coint ! up here1 said the super
intendent. "Itgives them an idea how
the thing is done , and we notice that they
seldom get impatient in the use of their
telephones afterward. " Certainly these
girls wcro not trilling with their work.
The superintendent by merely putting an
instrument to his ear can hear every
word that passes between any operator
and the people with whom she talks , and
that seems an almost unnecessary re
straint. Vexation makes the work
harder for the operator , and she avoids
it. Women are found to be better oper
ators then men , though boys must be em
ployed at night , and that is why the day
srrTico is better than that of night.
