HEAVY SHIPMENT OF BERRIES t Trade that IB Now Occupying the Attention I of Railroad Men , SPIRITED COMPETITION FOR THE BUSINESS Movement of Cn Ie from Tp\nn nnd the South tiinrlli Ctinirn floincMlint 1liter Til In Vrnr Tliuii ( Jniutl. Strawberry shipments arc temporarily oc cupying the attention of railroad men ami there is a spirited competition ( or the hus- lues * . The berries reaching this market now are Irora Arkansas and from four to nix cars nrrlvo every morning. Similar ship ments are received at Lincoln , .Sioux City nnd St. 1'nul , making It an important bus iness just at this time. Haltroad men who nro handling thin traffic say that the crop of berrlos In Arkansas la largo nnd the fruit about as flno as any over shipped north. It Mill continue ! for nbont four weeks , when the beds In Missouri will begin to give up their jlold. It Is said that the berries this year nro nearly nil handled by associations of the growers. They auporlntcnd the picking and Helllns. while the refrigerator companies look after the packing of the fruit. The cattle movement from Texas nnd the Bojith has begun. It la said to bo later than , usual for this business to bo on , but It will Iirobably bo lively whllo It lasts. From four to six weeks , with ordinary luck , the move ment will ba out of the way. Tficre will bo thousands of cattle brought from the plains of Texas to the northern ranges , with aomo shipments to Iowa points. Fho stock bus iness of the railroads so far this year has been light and the little boom which will jio\v bo on will bo appreciated. DHCIIH2S AOAIAHT THIS HAIIillOAIlS. .

Judge Kohlsaat of the United States dis trict court at Chicago has decided that the railroads delivering Block to the stock yards company In that city cannot charge n $2 mvItching leo. The Interstate Commerce commission nmdo a similar" ruling several years ago , but the railroads fought off Its enforcement until now , when the present de cision Is against them. The stock yards company has been chars- Ing the railroads a switching fee , varying f from 3ij cents to 75 cents , depending upon * whore the cars were to bo , placed. To estab lish'a uniform scale the railroads In turn t charged the shippers ? 2. This was so much \ In advance of the charge made by the stock yards company that It gave the shippers a i good cause for complaint nnd made one of the strong points In their argument before ! the court. Western Hvo stock associations | have waged the battle In the courts and liavo f won out. The case Is not applicable to the s South Omaha stock yards , as It Is undor- ! etnod that the roads delivering stock there I absorb the switching charges. Mi'cOiiK > ' niillroiul Cliilni ApreniK.

Ono of the principal grievances of the 3raln handlers now on n strli-o at Buffalo , \ . Y. , is the control excrcfsed by saloon keepers over their work and wngcs. It Is n strange fact that this evil Influence has continued without material change for forty years. An Omaha man , now well along In Lhe SOs , who worked In the elevators of Buffalo during thd civil war rerl'od , relates Instances of the power of saloon keepers , showing that the passing of nearly half a century has not loosened their grip ma terially. During war times every elevator 1)083 owned or had an Interest in n combina tion saloon and boarding house. Grain shovelors were paid liy the bushel. In that period the men went Into the ship's hold : iud shoveled the grain up to the elevator lag. It was extremely hard , suffocating work , especially so when'the grain was dirty , the men being obliged to w'car pieces of fipongo over their nostrils to prevent suffocation. Wages were high , averaging $20 n week during the season , but the work was not steady during summer and winter was a period of Idleness. "Tho clovntor bosses , " said the Omaha man , "had complete control of the men and llielr wages. They know exactly the amount of grain taken out of the ship , whllo the men had only the captain's word ns to the amount. Wo know \\c were being fleeced right along , but we also know that If any of us kicked we would bo out of a Job. Thcj , boss' saloon was the pay olllce , nnd when wo went there If each man did not Imvo a good account on the slate ho was treated lo a significant scowl. Many a time the boss would fix up the slate , even for men who did not drink , and they were obliged to pay or look elsewhere for work. Wo did not care much for the saloon account , butte to that was added n crooked account of grain handled , so that the bosses caught us , like the darky , 'n-icomln' and a-goln' . ' On ono occasion I was selected by the shovclers to keep tab on the amount of grain han dled , in order to determine how much wo were robbed of. That week's work , an un usually hard ono , should have netted each man ? 31.SO ; wo got $19.30 , leaving the boss a rakeoff of $11.50 from ca h man. That particular scoundrel grew rich , built blocks of stores along Ohio street , near the ele vators , and quit the saloon business to enJoy - Joy his Ill-gotten gains. After the death of his first wife a woman sharper trapped him Into marriage , got control of his property and cash nnd skipped with a younger man. " Ho died , ns ho deserved to die , n pauper. " With the passing years that typo of boss passert away , but the power of the saloon over the men on the docks remained. In stead of several bosses there is now ono grand boss William J. Connors , million aire , owner of two newspapers , political "Influential" citizen In manipulator and a word , the Crokor of Buffalo. Connors seems to have formed a combine with certain saloon keepers , by which they were to net as paymasters for his without expense to him. It was understood that the saloon men were not to do the work for their health. They were to recoup themselves by tbo usual method of "bleeding" the shovelors. Through this savory coniblno a species of slavery was maintained , by means of which Connors was able to underbid competitors for the contract with the shipowners. LONG WALK FOR YOUNGSTER Hey , Vivo Yt-iirM mill 11 Half Old , Wun- ilerH from Home wltli Jllti Faithful 1)0) ; . Ono of the longest walks recorded as hav ing been taken by a little fellow of 2 % years of ago occurred yesterday , when a child in short dress wandered from 1023 South Twenty-third street to the Harmon vinegar works at Fortieth and Center streets. The boy started out at 9 o'clock , accompanied by his Irish setter. The dog frisked and jumped ahead of him , chasing other dogs along tbo strcetsland coming hack occasion ally to bo patted on the head by his llttlo master. Tha boy endeavored to keep close to his pet and In doing so lost his way. His disappearance was noticed at homo and his parents looked In vain for some trace of him. Finally atiout 11 o'clock an employe from the vinegar works % telephoned the station to learn if a llttlo boy had been reported lost. The officers took his description and sent It to the parents. They went to the place and found their son , tired nnd fagged out , with his arm around the neck of his pet as if ho had followed him ns long as possible and did not propose to bo left behind.

Ulshop McCnbo of the Methodist Episcopal church , who Is now In the city , called a meeting of the olllclal board of the First Methodist church Thursday. Ho In formed the members that at the recent bish ops' meeting nt Syracuse , N. Y. , the sub ject of the vacancy in the church hero was under consideration nnd Rev. M. M. Chase of Oswego , N. Y. , was selected to fill the pulpit. Upon conferring with the board , however , the bishop learned that it had several ministers In view us possible candi dates for the position , nnd had arranged to Iwvo Huv. FranU Brush of Otlnmwa , In , , occupy the pulpit next Sunday morning and evening. The bishop then said ho had no desire to force anyone upon the church who was distasteful to the congregation , hut ar rangements were made whereby 'Mr. Chase will preach In the First church on Sunday , May 21.
