It has been found that among tho small consumers and tho worklngmen tho homo patronngo Idea has met with no opposition. but somo of tho men who are prhnnrlly to be benefited have not seen it to their In- torost to reciprocate. The chief complaint of the patronizing of outside houses to tlio Injury of local manufacturers comes from i ho Printers' union, which eliims that a largo proportion of tho work dono for somn of tho largest manufacturers In the city Is sent to outside towns where the scale of wages ls lower than In Omaha and where uon-unlon men are employed.

With William IV died nbetlnncy anil the absolute power which had characterized thc rulers of England. Victoria was essentially a democrat. She recognized tho rlphts of her subjects ami was Instrumental In giving to tho English constitution the democratic aspect which It has nBsumed under her rolgn. In the queen Englishmen had a monarch who was constantly consulting the wishes ot her subjects. Although she lucked the brilliancy of Queen Elizabeth or tho tremendous per sonality of Catherine of Hus3la, she had a well-balanced mind and wus n woman of excellent Judgment. She was never mis. tnken In the men whom eho chose as her advisors. Her ability to discern tho genlun of such leaders ns Disraeli, Sallsbur, and Gladstone stamped her ns a remarkable woman and explained ln a measure her wonderfully successful reign. She established a new code of morality TRADE IX JACK RABBITS Thoutandu of Them Are Frozen Here tad Shipped to rastern Oitiei.

At the ISIkhorn station of one of the local dairy companies a scries of tests was cemmenced Sunday to perfect n method for preserving tho freshness and purity of milk without tho use of deleterious nth stances. If a successful method is evolved It will undoubtedly revolutionize the bbsl ness of the transportation and sale of milk In the United States. Much trouble It ex perienced by the dairy companies In keep ing milk In a salable condition. It being nrfected hy changes In temperature and by the shaking it receives in transit. For yenra tho dealers havo been trying to dis cover some method of reducing loss In all of the germs of dlseaso were killed and tho milk preserved fresh for a longer period than formerly. This method Is used by at least one of tho Omaha eouipnnles. but It has been found defective In that when milk Is thus treated tho cream Is so Incorporated Into the mass that It re quires a loug tltno for It to separate and a smaller proportion of butter fat Is oh- tallied after treatment than could have I been gotten before. This method makes an Ideal milk for ue as such, but where patrons desire cream from tho mil' they express dissatisfaction with tho "Pasteur izctl" 11 it id . The manager of ouc of the Omaha dalrj companies has been attempting for somo time to solve the problem of annihilating the germs lu the milk and at the same time preserving Its original character. He believes that ho has discovered n method by which tho heated milk can be kept "fresh" for all purposes. This method he Is now experimenting upon nt tilkhom. The process nt present Is secret, but con sists lu treating the milk nt varying de grees of heat nt different periods of time nnd of depart.ting tho cream by an Im proved proress. When the plan Is fully developed it will bo made public nnd then the area of the dairy trado around largo cities will be practically limitless, no tho liquid can bo shipped nny distance, and a day's difference lu Its age will make no perceptible difference in Its condition.

It seems strange that somo clergymen should resist any attempt to compare ChrlHtlniilty with any other sys tems of belief, while they themselves do not scruple to uttack other religions, in other words, thoy do Just what they do not wnnt others to do. Since my address w;ih delivered I have seen Confucianism condemned right nnd left.

Mayor Kelly has announced to his friends that ho will not under nny consideration be a candidate for re-election. Wesley P.
