In Urn connection wo would again call the
Bttontlon of theatrical pcoplo to the fact that
the owner ot the opera house hero ( who Is
oursclf ) U also mayor ( who is oursolt ) of the
town , nni' hos tlio granting or refusal of
licenses. The editor of the Kicker ( who Is
out-self ) would therefore suggest a liberal
dUplay ot fraternal courtesy In the matter
of leaving complimentary tickets at the
ifllco. Wo Uo not seek to dlclato ; wo simply
throw out a suggestion which I * all clear

In sending out our annual prospectus It Is
moot that wo should add a few moro words
for the benefit of the public. Thrco years

Today wo are not only owner and editor of

Our esteemed contemporary down the
ttroot made another exhibition of the small
ness of his soul last week in publishing a list
of those present at MM. Major Uarpor's nn-
- nlvorsary party and leaving out our cogno
men. The contemptible spirit thus displayed
has resulted , not to our Injury , but In win
ning us new friends. Ho . Hugh Smith ,
for instance , who threatened only two weeks
ago to shoot us on sight , came around yester
day and a ked for a reconciliation nnd do
'
cla'rod that n meaner and moro contompUb'o '
exhibition of the littleness of western Jour
nalism hud never been recorded.
BOMB ONE BUT TtlE DOO OV nilf.
The editor of tbo Kicker ( who Is ourself )
and the major ( who is oursclf of course )
wore not only thoto , but they nad on the only
Prince Albert coat and doeskin trousers in
the vast assemblage ) . Thov were al o con
suited by the host and hostess as to tbo way
things should bo run. They took tbo load in
everything and wore tbo big gun of the
evening , while that wretched man of tbo
dlshrag publication down the street was not
even Invited. At 10 o'clocic ba was seen
itaridlog at the gate , doubtless hoping to bo
Invited In , but some ono set the dog on him
and run nliu Into Pawnee ravine.
It ro < ic8 Tlmt U'uy.
While Major Catlahan was going up the
alloy in the i oar of the postofllco the other
day ho discovered abundlo containing twolvu
copies of the Kicker , which had boon mailed
to a town In Nevada , but. which Mr. Wana-
makor's postmaster In this town had no
doubt deliberately thrown out to spite us.
Thu isn't the ilr.it Instance by ilfty , as our
roadora are wall aware. Tun .najor bit the
nail on the head when ho came Into the oillco
with the bundle and remarked that wo
would have to "remove" tbo postmaster
before \\o could ox poet anything llko decent
treatment.
It looks that way. Wo have had four sep
arate encounters with him , in every ono of
which wo came oft flrat best. Ho is now
carrying two of our bullets In his body , and
the doctor succeeded in digging out ono or
two otlicra. Wo are not u quarroiaomo mau ,
but tbe editor of thn Kicker ( who Is ourscir )
and the mayor of this town ( who Is also our-
1.0f ! ) have a certain dignity to maintain , and
are also guaranteed certain rights under the
acred constitution. They will muko ono
moro olTort toward a raitorallon of harmony
t tbo poitofllcn , and falling to secure It will
fool It their duty to glvo Mr. VVauamakor's
man a chanca to draw nnd then arrange for
hit wiokod soul to wlug Its lllght to other
lands.
JONAS HILL.
There were about thirtr pasiangors of us
mon , wooion and uhlldron In u r-oaeh on a
Missouri railroad , whin the numoor was
kddod to by ono at a small station. TUe
newcomer was a man of about 30 , and bis
bearing was rocklods and hU breath smellud
of liquor. Evoryoody saw that he was In an
ugly mood us he took a seat aud glared
i round , and no ono carjil to take a second
( Unco for tear of offending him. It wasn't
tea minutes before ho balled ever and bogau
to bluff and bulldoze the llttlo baUboadoil
man who was his soatmato. The latter bad
nothing to say , and by and by tbo other tlrod
of ttio ono sldod row and looked for a better
man. Ho got up and passed dawn the alslo ,
tiling every muu up , und presently ho came
to an individual who was not only roJhaadoa
but cross eyed to boot. His hair was the
reddest of rods , and his eyes vrero so badly
out of gear as to attract general attention.
Ho was eating popcorn out of a papar bag
whoa iho bulldozer stopped before him and
growled :
"Drop that or1 co'ii I"
"YV-wlmt for I" sUmtnerod the other.
' "Cause 1 say so , and will lot daylight
through yer If ycr don't. "
Ho dropped the corn and the bulldozer
looked him over and continued ;
' I've sometimes lot a redheaded man git
by me without sbootln' , but a orosse.vod ono
uovorl You are boll ) , and if I should lot
yer git out o' Mlssoury uono o * iny friends
would ever sueak to mo acln I"
"You ain't ain't golu * to hurt mo , uro
you I" protostiHl tbo unfortunate.
' Golu' to stool yor plump through the
head I" replied the bulldozer a * be drew his
rovolvor.
"T\KB THAT BACK. "
There was Instant excitement , but no ono
dared Interfere. No ono pared to oven risk
leaving the coach In search of the coBduqtor.
The red-headed man turned palo nnd trom-
blcd and began to plead ,
"No nso a-talKin'l" growled the other.
"It's a combtnasnun I can't lot pass. Kvun
If I did seine of tno boys down thoroad would
'
pick yo up. I ain't In'no great rush , though ,
nnd yo ran have a couplaof minutes In which
to pray or talk.Vhar d'yo belong ! "
"Now Jersey. "
"Way un thar , oh ? What's vor biziicssl"
"Farmin. "
"Wharyogoln ! "
"Down to Sednlla to son If I can't hear
sunthin about my sor. Dill. "
"What's Bill bin clolnl" carelessly quoded
the bulldozer as bo caressed the barrel of his
revolver.
"Horanawny f torn homo over a dozen years
ngo and came down hero , und I'm a-trln' to
locate him. "
"What's yor numo ! "
"Jonas Hill.1
"Wnutl Is that vor rog'larnamol"
"His. "
The bulldozer looked at aim for half a
mlnuto and tlicn said :
"It's powerful funny I'd forgotten about
them eyes , though I thought the hair looked
sorter familiar. Sav , old man , I'm that son
Bill , and yer my old daul"
"Is It possible ! And you'ro my own boy ,
Bill , and Ivo found vou at last ! "
' That's the trick , but don't git excited
ever It. I was givin1 yo two minlts , yo
know I"
"But you nro mv own boy , you see. "
"Yos , I reckon I he , out biit"
Ho stopped and scratched hU head and re-
fleeted half n mlnuto , and then put up his
gun und grudgingly anlo :
"Wull , undpr the circamstaucos , I reckon 1
must lot yo off , but 1 Jest want to say to yo ,
old man , thatyo'vo had one of the narrowest
escapes of yer hull llfo , and yc'd better con
tinue to be thankful fur tbo next fifteen
years I"
Then , having saved his dignity , as ho
thought , ho sat down beside ht lather , and
the two were soon visiting away and having
a real gooa time.
OAKL DUNDEB.
"Well , how are you getting on now ! "
asked the fat police sergeant , as Carl Dun-

PATRONIZE- HOME INDUSTRY
All Glasses of People Interested in the Em
ployment of Labor ,
OUTSIDE MANUFACTURERS ADVERTISING
Nonintlitng About the ( Irimth nnd Present
Condition of tliu Herd Iliinltu-fls In
Nobraxhn A I'rnlllulilu Crop
fur 1'nrincrs.
All clajscs of pcoplo are Interested In these
industries uhlchshlp raw material Into tho'
state nnd employ largo numbers of workers
In manufacturing It Into u finished product.
They are Interested bcrauso such industries
employ htbor , make money moro plentiful ,
enhahuo the value of city property , nnd by
increasing the manufacturing class , Increase
the demand for nil food products grown In
the state. Iho most direct benefit from such
Industries is felt In the cities nnd towns , but
farm property nnd farming Industrie * nro
helped by the growth nnd prosperity of the
cities , as the moro people there nro to con-
sumn farm products , the bettor prices fann
ers can obtain for whut they huvo to noil.
Such benefits coming to the farmers In
directly , It is only natural that the crcat ma
jority of them should not fully appreciate
the importance of encouraging these Indus
tries In the state.
There Is however , another class of Indus
tries which not only help the cltios to the
same extent as the above , but by consuming
raw material grown In Nebraska nro of
direct bencllt to tbo farmers , and they will
If they am allvo to their own Interests , ilo
all thov can to encourage manufacturing en
terprises of this class. Under this bend
como Such Industries as the manufacture of
binding twine , starch , paper , beet sugar ,
cereal products , as oat meal , Hour , corn
meal , otc , which huvo already boon com
mented upon to a considerable extent in
these columns. There Is however , another
Industry which is of direct Interest to the
f aimers , and that Is
Sccil OrowliiR liiNcliraxIcii.
This business naturally divides itself into
two brain-lies , the first Is the growing of the
seeds and the .second the commercial branch.
Under the latter Ucad attention may bo called
to tbo fact that there ate in Nebraska tlirco
houses which make a specialty of handling
Nebraska grown needs In bulk low. The ag-
greimto sales of thesnthroo houses , made in a
jobbing and retail way , amount to $350,000
annually.
Tboro are also about ton dealers froai other
states sollin ir seeds in Nebraska whoso com
bined sales would run from $75,000 to tlOO-
000 yearly. There Is hardly n grocery store ,
drug store or hardware store In the stutothat
does not handle moro or loss of these eastern
seeds. At the same tluio these eastern puok-
agoorbox seeds , many times , contain lareo
quantities of seeds that were grown in Ne
braska , shipped east and tbero put up into
packages and then shipped back to' Nebraska.
As to the growing of seeds it will bo of In
terest to know that there are many farmers
in tbo state who devote fiom live to ton
acres each to the production of seeds , aggre
gating In all 1:3,000 : to 111,000 acres.
A singlu O m nil a house , doing a strictly
wholesale business , will have 15,000 acres In
.seeds this , season , in the vicinity of Waterloo ,
Douglas country. The rich sandv soil ot the
Elkhnrn and Platte river bottom lands uro
peculiarly adapted to the production of socd
crops.
Nebraska grown vine seeds , such as
cucumber , melon , pumpldn , squash , etc. ,
were an ununown commodity of merchandise
eight or tun years ago , the supply coming
principally from Connecticut and New York
Enterprising and energetic men dlscovcro
that Nebraska oQered n great opportunity fo
this Industry by reason of the early opening1
of spring , the even tcmppraturo of summer
and tbe clear and favorable fall weather , to
gether with the rioh virgin soil requiring no
tertillzer. The trial of a few acres at first
resulted In a still larger acreage being de
voted to this purpose , until Nebraska leads
all other states in tbo production of vine
seeds , both in quantity and quality.
Until six years ago it was not known that
garden sucot corn scod could bo produced in
this state , it never having been tried on an
extensive cale. Seed swcot corn was until
the time mentioned produced largely In Now
York , Connecticut and Ohio When the Ne
braska swcot corn M as first placed on ttio
market , eastern competitors declared that as
the sugar maple tico could not exist on the
nnuries of NebraskaItdcmonstruiea that tno
ctimato und soil was not suitable for the pro
duction of plants containing saccharine mutt -
t r. This usscrtion was the subject of ex
tended discussion at the convention of the
American Seed Trade association held in
Philadelphia in 1887. Today Nebraska is not
only groviiuir enough seed sweet corn to sup
ply the local trade but is shipping tram loads
to eastern states.
In the face of the saccharine theorists Ne
braska is coining to the front as a suir.ir boot
producing state , showing that the wise men
of the cast wore not in It when it camo\.o
figuring on thu productive possibilities of
Nebrasua's soil.
It may bo added tbat Nebraska sweet corn
Is bardler , crows a heultlnor darker green
foliage and a moro stocky plant , and that tbo
seed germl.iatcs bettor. After repeated
trials by exoorts the Nebraska seed has
been admitted to bo superior to that grown
even in Connecticut.
Tncru Is a steadily increasing demand for
Nebraska seed Hold corn which was formerly
obtained in Illinois and Ohio , but these tub
states are now heavy purchasers from Ne
braska.
bmnll grain seedsuch as oats , wheat , rye ,
bnrloy , etc. , are grown largely and shipped
to n considerable extent botti cast and south.
Flsxmillet and sorghum deed are also nn im
portant article of Industry.
While it Is evidently to Iho best Interests
of Nebraska tanners aud gardeners to buy
seeds giown in the wast , as the growth of
this Industry directly bonollts tlie-n , there ia
another most important consideration that
should receive their attention. Nebraska
giown seeds are occllmntoil , and for that
reason better adapted to this soil and
climate.
It is a matter of wonderment to tbo seed
growers of this state as to what becomoa of
all thr seed produced hero. Wo are sending
seeds today to Germany , Mexico and through
California houses to China , South America ,
Australia and other countries.
The system under which largo quantities
of seeds are grown is that adopted by an
Omaha house , which makes a specialty of
the business. Tbo donlor makes a contract
with the grower to put in a certain acraago
und deliver tbo rrop to Him at a spocltlcd
price pei * pound or bushel , Tbo dealer sup
plies the scod for the.croi | without ohiirge.
The grower U thus onnblcj to know before ,
hand Just wnut hit crop will bring and is net
compelled to take the chances of an up and
down market.
During the tlmo of growth the crop is sub
ject to constant and vlallant inspection bv
tbo dealer and all "sports" or untrue speci
mens are thoroughly eradicated. By a sys-
tern of tuo mento.it care In the selection of
tbo planting seed stock there is ordinarily
but lltllo wosto In the crop produced.
farmers who uavo gone Into seed raising
have found It most profitable.
Inuamucb as vines do especially well on
now breaking , requiring no cultivation
whatever and yielding from200 to Ml ) pounds
of scod to ttio ucie , they have been shown to
bo a very profitable crop.
Instances are on record in Nobiaska wbero
new farms uavu been fenced and farm build
ings erected from the proceeds of u single
crop of vine needs , und a good many farmers
who cauio into tbo state poor have made n
'steko" from this source.
When the subject of making beet sugar In
Nebraska was first brought up. it was
stated that the seed could not bo grown In
this country , oui would all nave to bo Im
ported. The p-tst year considerable atten
tion was given to iho production of sugar
beet seed in Ncbraka , and with v ery guod
results. P , T. Umerson grew 2,000 pounds
of sugar beat seeds on on acre last year In
Douglas county.
It Is sala tbat the town of Ouedllnburg In
Germany has been built up and U practically
own o-l by two brothers who started
II ft eon to twenty years ago and
who bavo omastod a fortuuo of 3,000,000 in
growing beat seed. It is further claimed that
the growing of sugar beet seed has beeu so
suuceaiful at that place because they gave
special attention to tho' selection of the
parent stocic. Ihey have immense buildings ,
constructed laigoly of Klats , and fitted up
with tbe nocesiary Bcienlltio apparatus for
determining whether boots contain such
properties as ultl enable them to glow good
scsd.
scsd.Nebraska
Nebraska seed houses have advocated the
handling of th&temltntr varieties of seeds by
the retail dealer ? ) | t\ bulk , Instead of In small
paper or piok.igfvi . Customers can then nee
the seeds nnd ktpx ] ) what they nro buvlng.
Seeds put up in paper * are loft with the
retail dealer to soil.on commission , nnd there
must bo nu , qxorbltant profit In them
for the Jobboc. j. . On the ether hand ,
bulk seeds arpi sold outright to the
dealer nnd can bo Handled on a much smaller
margin. This oinles | ! the dealer to glvo his
customer lylarger Quantity as well ns n bet
ter quality of soqd , for the snmo money. A
great many uopyutry merchants are falling
into the customphandling { bulk snods.
The bulk soodntrado in Nnhrnska IM
doubled every year for the past three years ,
on account of ttioiow farms that have bocn
opened up A fqvy1.yoars ago clover nnd tim
othy seed was brought Into the state from
Chicago and ether eastern points ; today wo
not only pioduco sufllclont for our own wants ,
but In some localltlci bavo n surplus , which
Is bandied by the largo scod houses nnd
shipped out of the state.
This Industry , like many others , offers a
splendid opportunity for the farmers nnd ro-
titll merchants of Nebraska to do something
for their state by aiding in the development
of nn important Industry. The rapid ad
vance of scod growing In Nebraska shows
that there nro great possibilities In the busi
ness , nnd the moro it Is encouraged the
greater will its value bo to the stato. A
prominent seedsman of thn east , who traveled
through Nebraska last season , in speaking of
thu possibilities of scod growing , remarked !
"Nebraska Is the pardon spot of the world
for this business. "
Shipping riinir Into Nrlirnskn.
If the manufacturers of Nebraska bnvo an
Idea that outsldo manufacturers nro going to
glvo up the hold which they have had upon
the trndo of this state , for so munv years ,
without a struggle , they nro evidently
doomed to disappointment. Eastern manu
facturers Introduced their goods Into Ne
braska before there wcro uuy factories with
in the state nnd succeeded in impressing
upon the minds of the people the names nnd
vnluo of their d'fforont ' makes of goods. By
continually keeping their names and goods
before the pcoplo thov have prevented local
manufacturers from gaming the attention of
the people. It may seem strange
and yet It is a fact that goods made a thou
sand miles from Oiual.u tire bettor known to
the pcoplo of this rlty than Roods made nt
homo. The reason Is to bo found In the fact
that eastern manufacturers learned long ago
that In order to sell goods they must adver
tise what they had to sell. A Lincoln paper
recently pointed out that ono eastern factory
spent moro monev in advertising Its wnics In
Nebraska titan all the Nebraska manufactur
ers put together.
In the past Nebraska manufacturers
claimed that It did not do them any qood to
advertise because the people weto prejudiced
aciiinst their goods. That oxciuo no longer
holds peed M the public prejudice
Is now on the sldo of the homo
manufacturer , and people all over tbo state
nro asking , "what goods arc mndo In No-
bras RaT"
Outside manufacturers nro aware of the
chance in public sentiment and instead of
allowing the people to forgot thorn nro
advertising themselves inoro extensively
than over before.
Ttepeople of Omaha had a very good evi
dence of this onlv n few days ngo. A largo
Minneapolis Hour mill , the name of which Is
moro familiar to tbe pcoplo of Nebraska than
that of any Nebraska mill , made a great dis
play of shipping a train load of Hour to
Omaha. The people will buv it because they
know mid hoar sol much about it , notwith
standing the fact that It will take $13,000
from Omaha to Minneapolis , a drain which
this city cm ill afford.
