To the Public.
As I have noticed that galvanized
iron cornices and other galvanized iron
work was blown from a doion or moro
buildings about the city , I therefore ( ns
a matter to protect my business ) inform
the public that I was not the contractor
who put up any of said work. I further
will state that if any galvanized iron
work for which I had the contract would
have been blown off the building by the

of charge , as I know that the Into storm
could not affect any work properly made

THE ROMANCE OF FEUIT.
Flcnsnnt Kccolloctlon * Hronglit to Ml ml by
the Mention of. Nunie.
Of Ml fruits grown there Is none which
appeals so strongly to popular interest
ns the strawberry , or which brings to
mind so many plens-uit recollections.
The moro mention of the nnmo turns the
thoughts of the active man of business
away from his work nnd worry back to
the time when ns a boy ho gathered the
luscious fruit In the meadow on his
father's farm , and ho can see the straw
berries ns they used to appear on his
mother's tab'lo covered with rich
country cream , unadulterated by
the mllkmnn'd villainous pump.
The grandmother in lace cap
and gold-bowed spectacles lives ever
ngnln the strawberry festivals of her
J'outh and listens once moro to the pretty
little nothings that sot the innldon heart
all a-lluUor llfty years ago.
The strawberry is pro-oininontly the
favorlto fruit ot America , and people
never grow tired of It. A few years ago
the strawberry was only to bo had dur
ing a brief period in the spring time , but
the Improvement In transportation facil
ities has lengthened out tlio season until
the popular appetite for strawberries
can bo indulged during nt least six
months of the vanr. While winter still
holds sway in this section the southern
states commence their .shipments of
strawberries , and long after the mid
summer sun has withered the vines in
Nebraska the north sends down her
surp'us ' of the favorlto fruit.
Last week Branch & Co. rocolvod the
First shipment of Texas berries from
near Galvcston , which wore quickly
snapped up , Tennessee and Arkansas
berries will como next , tint ! after them
southern Missouri and southern Illinois
berries. The latter will reach this
market the last of April or first of May.
Thcso southern Illinois berries have
become famous in this market during
tlio past year or two owing to their ex
cellence and the line condition In which
they arrive. The finest of these berries
como from Villa Ridge , li. J. Aid rich ,
manager of tlio Fruit Shippers' associa
tion of that place , was in the city last
week and mndo Branch & Co.
general western agents for the
Villa Ridge fruit. Under this ar
rangement the berries will bo
shipped direct from the gardens to
Branch & Co. , and bo distributed by
them in Omaha and the tributary terri
tory. This was tried on a smaller scale
last year nnd worked so well that Mr.
Aldrich says that his association will
place a fresh car of harries in Omaha
every day during the season. Tills will
keep Omaha supplied with the choicest
and freshest fruit that can bo had.
Branch & Co. have so arranged with
growers in tlio different states that
Omaha will receive a steady supply of
borrws from spring to fall. After the
Southern Illinois berries have disap
peared they will receive the St. Louis
berries and follow the crop as it goes
north to the end of the season.
So far as c.in bo ascertained at the
present time the strawberry crop in the
southern states will amount to only
about twc-lhirds of the phonominal crop
of labt year but at the same time there
promises to bo a fair supply.
NEAI/S BARBER BILL.

The bills that wcro contracted D.v the late
Ed Neal while ho was temporarily residing
at the county jail continue to bo as numerous

Although Neal departed this world of
trials and tribulations some nvo months ago ,
his creditors walk up and demand money
from the public with surprising regularity.
The latest bill was presented to 'County '
Clerk SacUett this morning by a barber
named Ed Morrell , who claims that from
August 1,1890 , till February 27 , he furnished
Neal with thirty-ono shaves and bix hair
cuts. For this ho iwks the county to pay
him S2G.3.J , which Is at the rate of Tj cents

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.
Hi llt-latloiti to Iho Iliillroiuts I'nmKly nnil
IlonuHtly DUcmsril.
In n recent issue of the Grant county
Tribune appeared the following editor
ial on tlio subjecs if the relations of Iho
country press to the railroads :
A railroad pass is a very convenient
thing to have in tlio family , and ono
t.iat every newspaper is supposed to
havo. The public lias a sort ot vague
notion that newspaper men are "iloa.l
heads , " and yet most people do not know
exactly how , or why it should bo so. It
is perhaps duo Iho public that some
light bo thrown upon the matter. The
newspaper is both raspoctod and feared
by the railroad corporation. And it has
every reason to both fear and robpocl it.
The press is a power which these cor
porations regard it necessary to concili
ate and as far as possible control. It is
llioir aim to bocitro the inlluenco of the
press in their f.ivor. and .so far as possi
ble deprive the public ot tlio benefit of
it. Above and beyond all , the railroads
conceive as vitally neces.-ary the good
will , at leastof the proas. In the aggre
gate it is a power that molds public sen
timent , u factor that nothing can suc
cessfully contctid against , and the man
ipulation of which is a part of the policy
of railroad management. It has there
fore from time immnmorial almost ,
been customary for the railroads to
secure the good will of the press
and so formulate public sentiment
or prevent its expression by a method
that is as profitable and compensating to
the corporations as it is luimiliating if
not Uotrrading , though slightly remun
erative to tlio newspaper proprietor.
Under the guise and Ilimsy pretext of
what is known ns sin advertising con
tract these corporations proffer to every
country paper the "courtesy" of free
transportation in consideration , as ox-
probse'J , of advertising ( which , by the
way , the railroads do not care a fig for ) .
Tlence every country newspaper , no
matter how insignificant , dead heads.
As fully 100 per cent of the country
newspapers ate uncomfortably , oven
horribly poor , ' and the average news
paper man and his wife , like other people
ple , hive frequent occasion to travel by
rail , for profit or pleasure , the proffered
is accepted not only with avidity
Cass frequently , if not generally solicited
with pertinacity. Jn other words , every
newspaper , big and little , strong or pue
rile , procures and lias the benefit of
these "courtesies , " of moro or leas value ,
accordingly as the proprietor
has occasion to use them
much or little. It is a species
of discrimination which other people en
gaged in lines of business that uo not
affect , influence or control public senti
ment do not receive , and cannot procure ,
and the newspaper receives this valua
ble "courtesy" for advertising : Not
'
much. The' expressed obligation in
volved in this "contract" is Unit the
newspaper shall advertise the business
and facilities of tlio railroad corporation.
So far the contract is perfectly legiti
mate. But the implied obligation of
the contract as understood by the rail
road company , is that the newspaper
either refrain from dibcussing issues in
which the rights and benefits of the
public are involved to the detriment of
these of the railroad , or if they are dis
cussed , it is to bo done from the stand
point of advantage to the railroads.
That is to say , thotiglt ostensibly the
newspaper in return for the discriminat
ing "courtesy" referred to is expected
to make compensation by legitimate ad
vertising , it in fact , by accepting the
terms of the contract , has if it does it
as it is contemplated by the corporation
it shall do , bartered away its independ
ence , bold itself to Iho corporation , and
actually committed the crime Of forsak
ing the interests of the public whom
it is always under an implied if
not expressed oath to servo scrupu
lously to the boat of its ability.
And this is the reason why you see belittle
little manly , independent , and unintelli
gent comment in Iho country press upon
the issues in which are involved the
several interests of the public on one
side and railroads on the other. These
conservators of thu public interests , gen
erally bo it said to tholr credit , uninten
tionally or thoughtlessly , boll them
selves , their power , their mnnlioou fora
mess of potttigo.
All this looks very bad. It is bad.
But there is another sldo to it. There
nro things In this world called dema
gogues. Some of them are in the news
paper business , as they are to bo found
in every other kind of business , in
business an in politics they are garrotors.
They grapple for the lifo-blood. Hos
tility to railroads affords the most ex
cellent theme for the demagogue and
enables him to display all his powers to
full advantage. Then there h u sort of
undefined feeling of hostility on tlio
part of the people nt largo against rail
roads. Pcoplo only know that they en
tertain it , though they cannot explain
why. The deeper tholr feelings of
hostility and the lens informed they
nro , the less ublo though moro con
vinced they are of their ability to define
it. It therefore amounts just simply to
antagonism against railroads on general
principles. Crusades against railroads
simply because they are railroads is as
unreasonable as it is unjust. Against
this public hostility aim from thcso
demagogues the railroads are driven by
necessity to protect themselves and
their interests. The railroads are rich
and powerful , yet poor and weak when
they como in contact with nubile senti
ment. The country prcEB is poor but
powerful almost beyond comprehension
when In line with public sentiment. Thu
railroads therefore , through the strate
gic medium of the "advertising con
tract , " courteously strike Iho
country press in its , weakest
point , and by assuming the BCIU
bianco of certain "rules and regula
tions" restrain editors from becoming
too profuse in tholr roqucbts for truna-
portation , nnd nt the snmo time rotrUn
the good will of the newspapers , obtain
immunity from criticism of their im
proper practices nnd in ix majority of
cneoS soc'ttra ' the really nfllrmativo
though tacit support of the roclplontsot
their "cotirloslos. " The Bnndn.ig ele
ment in journalism compels the rail
roads to trout the proprietors of the
press , as a rule , as demagogues , nnd
they do it. They do It upon the cheap
est nnd most economical terms to them
selves they can devise , and for this no
ono should blame them. There are none
of us but that would protect ourselves
and our business Interest's In the snmo
way if the necessity existed nnd wo had
the moans. No other business Interests ,
however , finds it necessarv to subsidize
the press in this niannor. The
railroads do not care n farthing for
advertising facllltloHof the country ptess
nml they ox tend the "courtesy" of tholr
patronage In the manner Indicated onlv
nnd solely for the purpose of regulating
public sentiment. If the ontlro press of
Ihu country wcro frco to express Itself
as public sentiment dictates upon many
ot tlio issues in which railroad Interests
nro involved , these interests would suiter
Incomparable injury und none know nor
appreciate that fact so well ns the rail
roads themselves. And It will bo n sorry
day for railroad interests when by law
or by force of circumstances , they are
compelled to disrupt their present re
lations with the press and the latter
is frco to discuss the great corporation
question as it mast and will sooner or
later , bo discussed. Tlio public is got-
ing tired ,
The present method by which the
press is subsidized nnd brought into sub
jugation to railroad interests nt the ex
pense of his own honor nud manhood , is
simply one of the forms of discrimina
tion against which tlmro is much and * o
pronounced public protest. Disci imina-
tion is the bane of railroad management ,
is n curse to the country and an evil that
must nnd will bo suppressed. And the
press is going to be the moans of accom
plishing tills great consummation.
There is an element of manhood , integ
rity and proper conception of duty to its
constituency in the country press Unit
will before many years manifest and as
sort itself. It is to bo hoped and ex
pected when that time comes that it
will ho as regardful of the just rights
and interests of railroads , as It has been
regardless in many aspects , of the rights
and interests of the public in times
past.
MAKING THE BOOMERANG.
The Australian Coillph'trH This WriiMin | l > y
I.lfUInt ; It With Illn Tonkin- .
Three years ago I lived close to an ab
original camp in Now South Wales ,
writes Arthur Ilowlolt Co.ites in St.
Nicholas. This camp was only about
200 yards from our settlement and it
was my daily custom to walk ever to
the moorong , ns they call it. and study
the habits of the blackfollows , as the
original natives ot Australia are called.
1 was naturally inoro interested in the
boomerang than in any other of their
n capons , and with u little practice soon
learned to throw it. In the language ot
this tribe , the Wong-oi-bong , which is
situated in the Uogan river region , tlio
boomerang is called a womora.
1 shall therefore call it u womora.
The womcra is made from what is tech
nically known as an "elbow" from the
kurrawung tree , and sometimes from tlio
varran and myall trees. All of these
trees belong to the acacia tribe and have
s wool-seen ted wood.
The blackfellow , having found a suit
able elbow , chops it out of the tree and ,
as it is generally too heavy to carry
homo , trims it on the spot _ into the rough
outline of the forthcoming weapon.
After about two hours' labor the worn-
em will bo rcductcd to three or four
pounds weight , but it is still a long way
from being a finished weapon. As it
now appears it is a fiat , heavy club ,
longer and thinner at one arm than at
the other. The black is a decidely lazy
specimen of the human species , and ho
will as often as not lay aside his un
completed weapon for a week or per
haps a longer period. When ho resumes
worlt the wood will have become hard
and dry , and consequently dillicult to
work upon , but it never once occurs to
him that ho is now paying 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 ,
no one part being moro burned'thun an
other. The charcoal is chipped olT and
the black fellow then licks the weapon
all over with his tongue and places it in
a smoky lire of green boughs , which
warms it and makes it quite pliable.

BEAUTY'S SLUMBER ROBE.
Too.S I'd lor AnylliliiK K\jnlnlto Moilcl-
iiif ; nnd .MltdiliiK.
It you look in tlio dictionary , says Iho
Now York Sun , you will Und that a
"nightgov/n" is a loose gown worn for a
sleeping garment , " If you look on the
lingerie counters you will discover that
it is a vesture of film frilled with lace ,
fluttering with ribbons , dainty enough
for a fairy's bridal dress , but costly , as
if for a queen's adorning. You will
learn that the frail little garment is
eovorned by a fashion quite as
arbitrary ns that which meas
ures tlio height of a dainty crown
and regulates the roll ot a dress-
coat collar. This season tlio fancy in
those gowns is for a greater elaborate
ness of decoration than over before , but
the profusion of trimming tolerates only
the finest nnd most delicate of laces nml
otnb/oidorlcs. While you wait for seine
obliging sales girl to submit her stoclc
to your inspection you reflect on a lot of
things about the gauxo and frillsbesides
their construction , l-'irst of all , you
think how the thrifty housewife , that
lias always made her own things of this
kind out of unbleached muslin , accord
ing to thu patterns handed down from
her forcnioUicrti , would htaro if you told
her that elegant women could not gut
their undergarments made satisfactorily
in this country ; that the practical Amer
ican mind failed to Interpret the poetry
of petticoats and chemises. Wo are in
too much of a hurry , too lately descend
ed from the butcher shop and grocery ,
to have the inherent artibtic feeling
necessary to create tlio nightgown beau
tiful. Only the Blonder lingers of I'Vonch
woman have retained the womanly art
of fine needlework , It has boon only a
little whllo since wo were nil making
our own coarse unbjonehed garments ,
and besides wo ara under the thraldom
of the busy , whirring , noisy sowing
machine. The French woman has done
her exquisite stitching for centuries.
Wo may wave the ftur-spungled banner
with all loyalty , but there tire things wo
can't do , und needlework is one of them.

ncvono outsiclo of the four mumoors of tlio

so much antagonistic to voting bonds but It
is thu goncr.il opinion that to vote them this
