Moores , and the subsequent overwhelmlni
endorsement of Mr. Moore's candidacy b ;
the Ninth ward republicans , Is conceded t
bo the most Important Incident that hag ye
developed In connection with the city cam

as a tremendous advantage for Moores. I
has strengMicned his candidacy , not alone li
the Ninth ward , but all over the city. Tin
Droatcli pluggcrs do not disguise the fac
that tbslr cause has been hit a severe Jol
and the Moores men nro proportionately en

when he heard of tha action of the Nlntl

all along that his representatives would bi
able to swing him the delegation as soon ni
Evans wis out of the way.
As n matter of fact Hroatch has been tin
victim of a stupendous confidence game fron
tha flrst. He has blindly placed his cam
palgn In the hands of men whose Intcrcs
In him was almost entirely assumed and In
has now been sold out by those whom hi
had supposed vveie his friends. The verj

At a meeting of the German Republlcar
club yesterday afternoon In Germania hali
municipal politics were largely dlseussed. Nt
candidates for any position were endorsed. Nc
policy of the club being to wait until nftei
the prlmaiy elections. It was decided , however -
over , to seek end work by all honorable
means for the nomination of some repre
sentative German cltl/en on the republican
city ticket. Apropos of this movement the
following resolution vvpo adopted :
Whereas , The Gcrm.in Americans nre by
f.ir the largest contingent of foreign-born
citizen i In Omaha ; mul
Whereas , Thov stood steadfast by the re
publican parly iluiliiK the last presidential
election , belni ; for honest and good bovern-
niont ; therefore , be It
Resolved , That we , the members of the
German Republican club In meeting as
sembled , do ask and demand lecognltlon
from our pirty by representation upon the
republic in city ticket In the impending
campaign.
lr. Schweuk picfalded over the meeting ,
and Robert O. Fink acted at , secretary. The
next mooting will bo hsld next Sunday after
noon at 3 o'clock at Twenty-fourth aud Cum-
Ing btieets.
After the political business of the club
had been disputed of there was considerable
discussion of exposition matters. RegardIng -
Ing concerted action of all Gorman societies
In the city relative to the success of the
exposition It was dconud beat to defer ths
pioposod meeting of the officers of such eo
cletles until the dlrectoiy of the exposition
decides Just what Is desired of these
tocletice and what wil > bo done for them at
the uxposlt'on.

Another Droatch boom collided with a snag
yesterday and another endorsement which
was confidently -anticipated failed to ma
terialise. The Danish republicans have a
strong organl-utltm In the city and C. J.
Anderson , who was recently appointed su-
jerliitPiidcnt of markets by Mi. Uroatch , Is
ono ot Its prominent mombcis ,
Anderson , with soveial others , had undei-
taken to piocure an pudoiaument by ( ho club
of Uroatch's candidacy. The matter has been
worked up as thoroughly as possible and
the tlmn to spring the ic.olutlon of endorse-
nent was fixed at a meeting of the club
icld at Washington Inll yesteiday afternoon.
\ndorson and his friends were on hand and
occirilrd their tlmo In getting things fixed
or the adoption of the resolutions nut as
hey mlnglod with the mcmlicia It developed
hat three out of four were for Frank C ,
klooio ° .
The llroatch men soon dlscovcrol that If
heir Idea was pushed It would result In a
Igorous endorsement of Mooies and they
consequently concluded not to spring their
resolutions , It was decided that no action
n the mayoralty question slxrnld be taken by
ho club , thus leaving the members free to
allow thuir own Inclinations ,

CHICAGO , March 29. The Times-Herald'
Washington special says' The World's whoa
crop for 1S9G Is 2,425,393,000 bushels. Thl
fact will be officially announced by the secrc
tary ot agriculture In a report to bo Issue
this week.
This Important report will also cover th
quality and distribution of the corn , vvhea
and oats growth In the United Statra durln
the past year.
Although the total wheat crop Is 118,000 ,
000 bushels less than In 1SD5 , It Is large
than earlier estimates Indicated. This I
largely due to an Increase of 5D,000,00
bt'shcls In European Russia , as shown In th
final estimate of the central statlstlca
bureau over the November estimate of th
minister ot agriculture of that country. Th
crop for 1SDC Is the smallest for six years
The figure * given by the Agricultural depart
mcnt In thcoo tnbles are ofilclal vvhcrevo
available. Regarding the distribution of th
wheat crop of the United States for 1SDO , th
report will state :
"The Increase in prlco which began In th
fall ot 1896 so stimulated sales that man
parts of the country are now left with enl
aufilclont for teed All sections' report at
exceptionally small percentage on hand , th
general average being 20 C , against 2C.3 las
year , and showing but 88,000,000 bushels li
farmers' hands March 1. Unusually little o
the crcr of 1895 remains but 3 per cent
against 4.7 per cent of the 1891 crop so belt
n year ago. A larger proportion than usua
must be retained for homo consumption
The average percentage so retained Is 4S
against 41.5 last year , when the Inducement !
to export were weaker. " . , ; ,

appeared In the western sky "a blood rc <
light different from anything before seen In
the heavens. " It was visible for over three
quarters of an hour and appeared to be trav
cling In a northeasterly direction. The nigh
was very dark and the ship appeared so far
oft that nothing but the light wad to be
made out. The light , however , waa plainly
SCOT by hundreds of people , and created the
greatest excitement. Many people who wen
on ths streets hurried to their cellars , fear
Ing that a great calamity was impending
From the west steps of the state caplto
fully 200 people watched the strange light
Govprrrcr Leedy saw the visitor and said
"I don't know what that thing Is , but I hope
It may yet solve the railroad probl ° m. "
Similar repoits were received by the Tlinor
from Atchlson , Holton and Hiawatha , and
In all of these places a grcit commotion was
created. For two weeks past such exparl-
crceo have been reported from country dis
tricts Belleville , for Instance , reporta that
ou Wednesuav tight thlito n residents of the

watched the mysterious light for fully hal

It went north against the wind and disap

TACOMA , Wash. , March 28 Tlio North
ern Pacific steamer Bramar has nnlved
bringing oriental advices to March S. Yokohama
hama advices stated that the Nippon Yuzan
Kasha , or Japan Mall Steamship company
In opening lines to London and Seattle , has
been prepared to sustain more or less loss
but the losses have been heavier than waa
expected. Two of the chief stockholder , on
hearing that the company had been losing
100,000 yen on each voyage , recently Inter
viewed Mr. Kondo , president of the company
to learn the actual state of affairs. They
then demanded that an extraordinary meetIng - *
Ing of the stockholders bo called to decide
whether It Is advisable to continue the lines
or abolish them altogether , because , althougl
they might be considered a sort of natlona
enterprise , they do not think It right for the
company to continue running steamers
abroad at a heavy loss. President Kondo
replied that an application had been sent to
the government asking that the deficit be
made up and although It has not been taken
up by the government It will be laid before
the Diet duilng the present session. The
stockholder accordingly agreed to wait a
little before convening an extraordinary
meeting. Some of the government ofilciala
favor granting an annual subsidy ot 3,100-
000 yen to the Nippon Yuzan Kasha and a
bill to that effect will soon lie Introduced.

KANSAS CITY , Mo , March 28 James
McKinney , a produce dealer of this city , Is
credited with having cornered the onion market -
kot ot the country. Within the past month
the prices ot onions has moved up fiom CC
and SO cents per bushel to $1 50 and $1.75 , and
the person reaping thelion's share of the
profit Is said to bo McKinney. The Indica
tions are that the rise In prlco will con
tinue until some time In June , when tLs now
southern crcip is duo on the market.
As early as December list McKinney be
gan gathering In the onions ot the country.
The states of Iowa , Wisconsin and Minnesota
seta , which usually supply the western mar
kets during the late winter months , pro
duced only a moderate crop last year , anel
this crop kept very poorly. Seeing a prob
able shortage In the near future , McKinney
sent his agents Into the south , west and cast ,
but practically the only stock to be found
In quantities was In Ohio In December and
January the speculator contracted for 27,000
barrels of kiln drledi onions , and on this In
vestment ho Is now reaping handsome
profits. Of this stock , 16,000 barrels vvcro
moved to Kansas City In March. The balance -
anco Is gradually moving to other markets.

time. They report many projects on foot ,
which are simply waiting till the exposition

when these pi-ins will bo made permanent
and active. They also report a number ol
plans developing which are not far enough

In this connection It Is well to call atten-
: lon to the fact that the rental agencies have
lotlced a scarcity of desirable residence
> roperty and some aie Inclined to ascribe It
to an influx of population The more proh-
iblo cause Is to bo found in the fact that
depreciated rents have made It possible for
many people to move Into bettor houses.
At the presort time It Is no easy matter
: o find a well-built and thoroughly modern
louse that Is Vacant. Theie are any num-
> or of houses for rent In some localities in
the city , as , for example , In North Omaha ,
vest of Twenty-fourth street , but almost
vlthout exception they arc moro shells , that
vore barely tolerated a few jears ago when
iny kind of a house was at a premium.
I hero Is some objectionable feature to every
3no , some are totally without modern Im
provements , some have no water nearer than
ho hvdiant In the > ard or neighboring jard ,
ind others have bath rooma with no piovl-
lon for heating then Most of them are EO
poorly constructed as to make thjlr occu-
lancy a serious matter in cold weather , while
ho arrangement of the rooms In many is a
ilfrhtmaro to a housekeeper.
These poorly constructed dwellings were
i product of the boom da > a nnd were built
o meet the requirements of the time. At
iroscnt they are out of d-ito and It Is hardly
0 be expected that the tlmo will over come
vhen It will again bo possible to find tenants
or them. Now and better houses are In de-
naml and as the city grows such will bo
milt , while the old shells will have to be
orn down or remain vacant.
A trip over the city Is liable to give ono
ho Idea that many houses are vaeant , but
1 close examination of the piomlses will con-
rtnco most any ono that they ought to ro-
naln so.

"People little ariireclato the amount o
care required to make the parks beautlfu
each year. Last summer the big 'flguio' bei
on the west driveway ot the park contalnei
over 6,000 foliage plants , not counting tin
blooming shrubs and palms In the center
Such beds as these require clipping at leas

border figures for this year have not beer
designed as > et , but I expect to have a vn-
rlety ot foliage exhibits which will take UK
usual forms of the heait , triangle and cir
cular beds.
"Tho skill of the designer , where ho !
gl\en full range to his Ideas , Is frequent ! }
productive ot work beautiful and fantastic
It Is the highest art within the scope of the
florist's profession. All the beds are bulll
upon ; plans whlcb are followed out with tin
nicety of a contractor using the pen and Inli
drawings of an architect. The names ol
public places are a favorite method ot ills-
pla > lng this art ; sun dials , bells , harps ,
lyres and sometimes animals are used
"A proper blending .of the colors of the
alternanthera and coleus always pleasea the
public. We have six \arietles of the first
named and seventeen of the second. The
main colors are a dark purple , red , yellow ,
brown , green and white , with several mix-
tuies. Geraniums , with their lustrous red ,
are frequently used , but as they grow very
fast they must bivc constant attention In
ordei that the main flguro of the design Is
not lost. Designs with tropical plants are
b > far the richest In effect. The long taperIng -
Ing leaf of the palm , the banana and the
croton lend a luxuriant effect to n park
ivhich is exceedingly pleasing In these north-
srn latitudes These plains are used mostlj
is 'centers' for the 'border * plants and look
much better In three combinations thau when
placed In solitary groups
"In the case of our planta we usually plan
to take them Into the greenhouses the latter
part of Octobci , although it Is frequently
ilelayed until the middle of November. The
largo center plants and shrubs are In all
cases removed with a covering of earth about
their loots to big tubs In the houses , while
