How Old Is Ann7"

The price of oil and electric light
bills have advanced since this prob
lem was sprung two or three weeks
ago by the Times Democrat and here
in Hattiesburg two or three profess
sional oalculators have grown gray in
an effort to properly figure it out.
And in other parts of the country
there is figuring being done as will be
seen from the following from the
Magnolia Gazette:
MARY is twenty-tour years old.
Mary il twice AZ old as Ann was when
Mary was a. old as Ann is now. How
old is Ann?
Such is the apparently simple
problem which is engaging the atten-
ton Of and has practically convulsed
the mathematical world at the end Of
this year Of grace OF 1908. The great
metropolitan journals are working
their Merganthalers and perfecting
presses overtime in order to publish
the views Of correspondents upon this
momentous problem. Hoary headed

STRAWBERRY SEASON IN SWING
Berries of Superior Quality Come
from the south Earlier
Than Usual.

The strawberry season in Omaha Is now
In full swing. People who have been on the
Omaha market ever since 1t was started
say that the season this year is three
weeks earlier than ever before. This is
owing to favorable weather in the south
and also to the healthy condition of the
plants. The berries that ave arrived so
far are said to be better thar usual for 30
early in the year and present prospects are
considered favorable for a big yield OF a
good quality of Berries In all sections Of the
.country. ~,
The Season really opened Friday. when
the first full Jcarload Of Missouri berries
that, was ever received here direct was
put on the market. 1t vas II o'clock
Thursday night when the car arrived and
they were all sold and disposed of before
z o'clock the next morning. Wholesalers
consider this a good indication Of the big
demand that will be experienced here this
season. They sold at wholesale for $3.50
per enty-four-quart case, which enables
grocers to retail them at TN cents a box.
Friday a car OF berries arrived from
Texas, but they were also quickly dis
posed Of at the same price as the Missouri
berries and there was very little difference
in the quality ef the stock.
1t is thought that the market will be
we'll supplied from this time on and, of
course, as the season advances prices will
naturally decline A retail Of 17h cents.
though, in the middle Of April is consid-
cred very reasonable and consundsrs so far
have been buying freely.
Cuban ~pineapples is another line which
is growing in popularity in this market.
A carload is now being offered on the mar
ket and is selling rapidly. Two or three
years ago Cuban pines were considered
very inferior and in fact Omaha Wholesale
fruit men had q hard time to find a market
for the stock that was shipped here. A
wonderful Improvement has taken place in
the last year, so that now the CUBAN pine
is considered the closest rival OF the
Florida pine:

CLOSING IN ABOUT KNIGHT
Police Hope to Have Alleged Murderer
Behind the Bars Soon.
CHIEF DoNAHUE HAS PLANS UNDER COVER
Authorities Say that Recovery of Mrs.
Knights Body f. Not Necessary
to Secure Conviction
of the Husband.

''You may say that the lines are closing
in about Knight and we expect to have him
in a cell before many days." said Chief
Donahue yesterday. This man I'M
doubtedly is watching the newspapers and
It would spoil the capture to let our plans
become known. However, 1 feel more than
hopeful that the murderer will be In Gus
tody shortly. Once that Is accomplished,
I am satisfied the remainder Of the story
will be worked out. While It is important
we should have the body in order to secure
conviction, Il is by no means necessary.
without the body we should be driven to
the necessity Of producing more and
stronger evidence than we now possess,
but / am sure this could be accomplished"
The search for the body Of Mrs. Knight
has been practically abandoned by the po-
lice. 1t is still the general opinion among
the detectives that the woman was buried
and not thrown in the river, but they
reason along metaphysical lines, arguing
tina the man wished to dispose Of his wife
for once and for ali and would prefer to
put the corpse under ground rather than to
thrust It into the Missouri. They are
borne out in this by the still missing spade.
Men and Boys Searching.
Idle men and boys are conducting a cur
sorry hunt for the body along the river OPP
posite North Omaha and morbid crowds
have ransacked the knight cottage for
souvenirs. repeatedly breaking the padlocks
with which the police secured the doors.
Public interest remains strong in the case,
but there appears to be a lull in the devel-
opments and the Omaha police apparently
are waiting for something-and that Is the
arrest Of Frank r. Knight.
without betraying any Of the inner work
ings Of the front ONCE" 1t may be said
that the police Of Cheyenne and other west
ern cities are not entirely alone In watch
ing for the murderer. In more than one
city representatives Of the Omaha police
are re- enforcing the local sleuths. The
impotency Of the Cheyenne police to take
charge of a much wanted and much adver-
tised man when he walked under their
noses is responsible for these extra efforts
on the part Of the ~omaha+force.

FOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
Illinois House Committed FRvOrs Pas
sage of Bill in Interest
of Chicago.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 1.-THE house
committee on municipal corporations have
agreed upon a bill authorizing every city
in the state to own, construct, purchase,
mortgage and lease street railways,
1t provides for leasing not longer than
twenty years to any company incorporated
under the general corporation act Of Illi-
nois, but no city can do anything toward
the construction Of a railway without the
sanction of a three-ffths vote of the cleo
tors. Bonds can be issued, or in lieu Of
them, certificates of indebtedness, but not
unless authorized by a majority vote Of tho
people.
Fundamentally, the bill is intended to
permit the city Of Chicago to own the
present system Of street railways.
When the bill was reported to the house
Gutenberg presented a minority report
signed by himself, McElvain. Erickson and
Patterson. On motion Of Lindsey the mi
nority report was tabled.
The committee bill was then read for the
first time and made a special order on Sec
ond reading for next Wednesday.
