" OMAHA CITYJWARKET PLACE Mcllioil of liH'Mnu ! of the SlnlU I * CrHlelioil by n ( iiirilpnrr Wants n Mcttrr I'liin. OMAHA , Feb. 12. To the Editor of The Ilee : It Is a mystery to me v hy there could not bo a better way piovldsd for the market gardeners In the vicinity of Omaha to dis pose of their produce than havlug the mar ket down by the river , and the stalls marked oft" on the ? ! dc\\.ilts ! with red paint. The gardontiM walk up to the city hall and pay bun Ircds of dollars Into the city treasury as premium for Its choice of stalls for the season , besides paying a rental ol 10 centa n. day while the stall Is occupied. If the place was not designated as a mar ket , no one under the sun eould tell It from any other dirty street In Omaha. With the amount of money that the city has received In the last few year * , or at least a small percentage of It , could It not aftord to build n raoro substantial one than It does , b'y sending a man around every year to paint market stalls oa the side walk ? Of course this building needs no repairs. I am not In a position to know how some cities nro supplied with market houses , but I do know that there is no city that has had one built with no belter foundation than promises. 1 the gardener benefited to any great ex tent for the amount of money which ht pays for the privilege of backing his wagon up to the sidewalk ? Would it not be moro beneficial to the majority concerned If the market was more centrally located ? And for what reason Is the market located where It now is ? And 1 : not the fact evident that some one else's wishes were consulted other than tb < producers and consumers ? There Is another thing I think would beai a little light , and that Is the condemning ol spaces , or stalls , for the benefit of propertj 1 owners or lessees , and gardeners who wist to get the best spaces cheaper than some o : the adjacent ones. ; If the property owners who have propertj on the market street had these stalls con dcii'ned and left it rest there , none of th < ' gardeners would kick , but when they sel | these stalls to the gardeners it Is rank tti < justice to the ones who have to buy theli stalls by auction. I Now It eeeras to me the money which tht 1 owners receive for the condemned space be longs either to the city or the property-own era. They both do not own the right to sel this space. I If It la this year a It was last year , am I1 have every reason to think that it will bo what is to hinder all the property ownen | along the market having their stalls con detuned and let the city hold the bag whei the auction comes off ? Some say that the city receives a smal | premium for the condemned stalls It the ; ! are occupied , but even so , the choice o I stalls Is advertised to be auctioned off ti the highest bidder. 1 If a gardener pays a good premium fo what he considers the- beet stall on the max ket , and then finds out when the marke opens that several have better stalls tha : he. and paid less , he naturally comes to th < I conclusion that ho paid his money for some thing ho did not receive , and I think the clt ; should protect him in his purchase , which , hovevcr , It did not do last year.

SOCIAL NEEDS. y JBI Whatever questions of Social Needs may exist and however much we may rack our brains to discover satisfactory solutions of them , there is at least one and certainly not the least import ant province , in which the solution has been found. For is not the question " What is our best daily beverage ? ' ' of importance to all class es of society ? Ana ia any other answer to that question possible , from disinterested persons , than "Van floutcn's Ocoa" ? It is more whole some than any other drin' ; , it is nourishing and easy to digest ; refreshing without acting injur iously on the ncr.'ous sy&U-t.i , in the way that Tea , Coffee , and other drinks do ; and its delic ious llavor in no way palls on the taste after continually using the cocoa. As regards its price , it is , as thousands can testify from practical ex perience , not at all dear to use. What a pity all social questions cannot be answered as easily as the above one ; but their answers require a great deal of thinking about. Those who are busy funking about them , cannot do better than take a cup of Van Houtcn's Cocoa daily , as for helping the brain-worker it is without equal.

He wasted time and energy In do mollshlnB people who were not worthy o his attention and this often led to rldlculou scenes In I'arlament. Ho also was pron to fits of concentration In which ho forgo the main business In hand and spent his Urn In discussion of some Incidental subject. 11 once made an Important political appoint mcnt , but KOIIIO ono mentioned Helen o Troy as a myth and Mr. Gladstone plunge nt once Into Homeric debate , which con slimed the whole time allotted to the confer once. Despite his weakness , Sir Algcruo evidently regards Gladstone as the greatcs man of his time.

Once h burst out with the oath when Disraeli , 1 the spirit of raillery , defended the Kpoll doctrine and another tlmo was when Glad stone was lamenting the fact that Latl quotations no longer Interested the Hous of Commons.
