These who nftoct ulondo hair may rejoice-
that they nro not only in the fashion , hut are
followers of color ns old as the raca mid up
hold by a Ion ; line of royal and noted mem
bers of thu sax , MM. Million , a writer In
LndlcV Homo Journal , revives the story that
J5vovai a blonde , whllo the hair of Venus
was , 10 it is told , a perfect golden. Lucrotla
Borgln , Lady Macbeth , Queen Elizabeth.
Anne of Austria , Marie Antoinette , were all
light hnircd. However , this docs not rnako
loss marvelous tlio beauty of black liulr.
Which from the Jol black , which shines llko
ebony , to the dark brown , with its glints of
Cold'cannot bo surpassed. The explanation
ns to the difference In the hair is told very
funnily in an old book. H is said : "That
hewn sent upon uarth many women with
coldcn hair so that they might charm the
other half of humanity. Seeing this the
dovll. who hates men , sent cooks. Tnoso ,
with their sauces and ruirouts , disordered the
human liver nnd produced the desired result
dark skin nnd hair. " However , the color
most oslecmcd Just now Is an ashy blonde , n
shade that no dye will produce , and which ,
as It must have a clear whlto complexion no-
companvlng it , ns well as black brows and
lushes , ( s counted by nrtws nt once the most
peculiar and artistic contrast.
A married man offered to give his wife SI
for every kiss she iravo him. This fulfil
ment of'thelr bargain she exacted to the ut
termost farthing. Years after the man
failed in business , utterly , irrotrlnvably.
Whereupon his wlfo naid : "Choor up. 1
hnva another fortune for you , " and brought ,
to him the proceeds of nor kisses , dollar for
dollar , that she hadJiiwod. U li tho'legal
aspects of this case that nro Interesting r < ml
important. The point is , could his creditors
claim this money In pavmunt of their dues ?
Different states Uiko dilTorent views of such
transfers of tnoiioy. In thH case the cred
itors dnimcd that'll was illegal , the woman
having given no consideration In return.
For , argue the lawyers for the complain
ants , n kiss is no consideration , a married
woman is bound to kiss hnr husband , that
brlngonaof his rights , the precedent for
this view being found in 112 Pennsylvania.
This case , it appears , l that of a married
man who transferred certain properties to
Ills wife on her agreeing to perform certain
nets which her Husband Uoilrcd. Attor his
failure thu creditors brought , suit to recover
this property. This suit they gained ,
the Judga deciding that the hus
band's rcqurst was within his rights , and
nli desire to peaceably settle them by the
payment of money gavq the transaction no
Rtundtng In court , The ofTnnso was , more
over , aggravated by the tact that ho was in
debt at tno lime , in the llrst case it was
pleaded that the dollars for the klssos being
extended over a long period of time the
question of indebtedness to creditors at the
time of payment coiild not hold. This was
granted , but did not overrule iho previous
decision that the woman , under the law , had
given no consideration , therefore the trans
fer of moneys was illegal and could bo
claimed by creditors.

: t,000 votes were cast ns ncalnst 800

proirrosslvo and Intelligent people , and the
immense region of fertile country , and the
vast minlnp roglon that is and may bo kept ,
In n great measure , tributniy to It.
Omaha Is now n eroat commercial city ,
with some manufacturing Industries , but
moro of them will increase iho coiniuorco
the city now bos , and will help to keep It all.
If factories uro extensively located within a
radius of 200 tnlloj Irom Omaha , they will
draw to thorn trndo and comtnorco which
Omahn would othorwlso havo. Omaha has
Innuendo slaughtering and moat packing es
tablishments. In order to rotaln and onlareo
them the young city must maintain Its pros-
tlgo aud ascendency , and this can only bo
donu by lidding factories , enlarging com
merce and drawing to it Iho tralllo und re
sources that llo around It , particularly norl.li
and west , reaching out Into Iho mining reg-
lutu in South Dakota , Wyoming , otc.
Cincinnati was once called "I'orkonolis"
because of its immense pork-padilng estab
lishments , and "Cincinnati haras" were
famous all over Iho world. That city has
been nbloto keep and increase its factories ,
butit Is no nonger known -PorUopolIs ; "
tbat business has departed. If Omaha will
increase her factories they will almost in-
uvltably become pcrmaiiout ; the capital once
largely invested in manufacturing plants
cannot bo removed , oven if meat-packing
should do so.

\Vlmt Omaha Should Do.
Omaha should ralso $100,000 and w.ith it
erect woolen fuc\oriesandlhon raise another
$11)0,000 ) uml invest , il m cotton factories. Of
course , this can not be done by taxation , but
itcnnbodouo by private subscription in
vested in stock In manufacturing corpora
tions. Muncie , a town of 12,000 people in In
diana , recently raisud in this way and in
vented in manufacturing corporations of
various kinds 200,000 , and that enterprising
city bus grown in dimensions and into an importance -
portanco which hits more than renald the
enterprising mon wiio made the investments.
Why should Omaha establish itnmoasa
woolen factories ) Theca Is no really great
woolen factory west ot the Allegheny moun
tains. Wool 1 * shipped from all the western
states and territories -jo Philadelphia and
the Now England slates , there to bo manu
factured into goods , which are to a largo extent -
tent shipped west and sold. A woolen fac
tory at Oinuaa can borinudo moro profitable
than in Now England , , It costs an average
of moro than 3 cents par , pound to ship wool
oast. Factories atOmaha could save
this , and nave the cost of shipping
tbo manufactured goods west. Those sav
ings would of themselves bo a largo pro lit ,
Why should wool bo shipped east to bo
manufactured ] Why not manufacture in the
west ) If woolen factories bo established at
Omaha , it will bo nu. inducement to every
farmer in Nebraska with 100 acres , of laud to
do what all should do , keep at least 100 sheep ,
which could , In part , Do kept on grass and
winter feed , that would othorwlso bo lost or
not produced at all. TUB valleys and other
lands in South Dakota , Wyoming and other
stales , 'uud of the territories , should bo cov
ered over with Hocks of sheep and herds of
cattle , the former producing wool for west-
orii woolen factories and sbcop and cattle
both producing moat to bo shipped from
Omahu all over the south , and cast also , Just
us Armour & Co. of Chicago supply moat for
many of our great cities.
It Is a strange fact that many of the cltlos
in tno southern stulos receive thuir supplies
of f rosh beef , mutton , etc. , as well as salted
beef uud pork from Chicago. The southern
people would soon prefer that mutton should
be tboir chief fresh moat if they had .somo
great , slaughtering center from whloi they
could receive it. Omaha should "tako time
by Iho forelock" and erect wcolon factories ,
slaughter mutton sheep and "supply a loag
felt want" in woolen poods , made in the
west , and mutton from Omaha.
Country Tributary to Omuhn.
The Black Hills region of South Dakota
aud Wyoming has immense minorai re
sources in gold and tin , and gypsum and
building stone and coal in abundance , sufll-
ciont to supply several states line Nebraska.
Railroads now r-in through the center and
along both sldos and across the southern
base of the B ack Hills , all reaching lute
Omaha. An enterprising citizen of Omaha ,
Air. Francis C. Grahlo , has located and is ar
ranging to lay out into lots n do/.on or moro
town sites along the railroad which runs
north und south through Iho center of tbo
liluck Hills und along the railroad which
skirts their western border.
The enterprising mon who built those rail
roads wisely looked forward to the great de
velopment of the rich mines in the Blaci ;
UillB und to Iho building of towns , or the
roads would not have been made. Those
now towns and cities can bo made tributary
to Omaha and open line Holds for the Invest
ment of capital. They wfll nialio a demand
lor woolen goods und for merchandise to
supply those engaged In mining , In agricul
ture , in raising sheep and cattlo. And now
is tbo time for the people of Omahu to make
their city the great center of manufactures ,
trade and commerce for that rapid developing
region.
Ono advantage of wool manufacturing to a
cly over most other kinds of factories is that
mou of thu work can ho done by woman and
children. In every large city there are mul
titudes of those who are idle or without
sulllciout employment. Woolen factories
would bo nsolul to Omaha in this as in other
respects. Ono of the great advantages of a
protective tarilT is tbat it builds up factories
in this country , and thus gives employment
to not only women and 'children ' , but to men
who would otherwise be idle. Carpenters
and masons Had employment to erect new
buildings for factories , 'and houses for per
sons employed thoioln. Farmers llnd
an Increased demand for their farm
pioduct.8 , including 'wool ' , ana this
demand extends to pardon vegetables , small
fruits , orchard products ; poultry , etc. , which
can not bo exported to foreign countries , aud
for which there would bo no adequate do-
muim 'without the stimulus which protection
gives to American Industries ,
And In addition to all'thU ' , with our own
ability under protection' ' 'to supply all 'tlio
manufactured articles our people- need , wo
