ASKS PAY FOR SEASICKNESS
Omaha Woman, After Uncomfortable
Trip, Sues Company for $1,000
Damages to Health
Special to The Herald.

Special TO Ihe deraiu,
OMAHA. Neb., Jan. "a reasonable
compensation for the discomfort of sea-
sickness is reckoned by Mrs. Riwka
Schein at $1,000. She has sued the
North German Lloyd Steamship COM
pany for that amount, alleging that the
ship in which she was brought from
Bremen to New York a year ago be-
haved so badly that she was made sea-
sick and has not been well since.
Mrs. Schein's petition alleges that her
husband engaged passage for her on
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, paying
$61 25 for transportation from Bremen
to ST. Louis. The steamship company,
however, failed to get notice to her at
her home in Russia in time for her to
catch the ship before 1t sailed. She
was given passage on the Chemnitz, a
much slower and inferior ship.

EGG QUOTATIONS
ARE ADVANCED
FRESH LOCAL RANCH PLACED
AT "a CENTS
Produce Dealers Stand Pat in Fixing
Quotations in Butter-Free
Offerings Of Eastern
Potatoes

Members of the produce exchange
were all i'm fine fettle Wednesday, and
when butter was called liberal offerings
were made on the basis of the cut
prices, independent of the butter board
which is now out of il as to price dtcta-
tion in the local market. The exchange
members say they have cut loose for
good. and that hereafter the produce
dealers will fix the quotations
The call session resulted in the sale
of two lots of case count eggs, one car
load of fancy oregon onions and hve
sacks of sweet potatoes
The manifest firmness of the egg
market caused the quotation committee
to advance the price of fresh local ranch
eggs from 32c to 34c, and northern eggs
from 30c to 32c a dozen.
Potatoes appeared to be plentiful. as
the offerings of eastern stock We're I'D
eral and persistent. There was a tend
ency toward weakness but there were
no changes in jobbing prices; SLOW
sales to the trade in the market may
have caused brokers to become uneasy.
Sweet potatoes are firmer, sales being
made at close to the jobbing. Fuller
tons are preferred.
Business is all shot to pieces. said a
dealer in the market. I'VE are just
standing around keeping out of the wet,
little coming in and but slight demand
for stock except in staple lines.
Drcariness has prevailed in the mar.
ket for several days, all on account OF
the rain and the mud.

licly treats the bruce claim as good
Joke; but the fact that he has employed
some of the ablest lawyers of England
to defend his title is sufficient evidence
.that he looks upon the matter serious
ly. In 1879, when he inherited the
Portland title and estates, he was
petty officer in the Coldstream guards
and had an income of only $4,000 a
year beyond his pay. Later he came
into the title and estate of Baron Bols-
over, with an income of $4,000 a year,
so that in the event that bruce is sue
cessful he will still be a peer, although
comparatively poor one.
Popular sympathy is all with bruce,
the Australian bushman who is con-
testing for the rich prize. Even the
members of the British nobility would
waste scant sympathy Oh the present
duke and duchess if they should lose
their title, since the high and mighty
air with which they have sought to
rule English society has not endeared
them to the majority of the peers.
bruce declares that he cares nothing
for the title involved and that in the
event of winning his suit he will re-
turn to Australia with his fortune, aft
er making liberal division with the
members of the syndicate who have
supplied the funds for carrying on the
legal proceedings.

Poetry Of Hash.


But do not think that the function
of hash is low down in life's expert
ence. Like everything else that seems
common, it is susceptible of the high
est development There are hashes
that the occupants of the sly would
sDurn, and there are hashes again that
would make queens mouth water.
And here we must remind the gentle
reader of the lesson running through
all these articles on good things to
eat-that 1t is not the egg, the berries.
the cream, the meat, the flour, that
constitute the excellence or glory of
a viand-it is the delicate fancy, the
graceful touch, the loving purpose.
the scintillating brain, the smiling
presence of the woman who does the
cooking. 1t is these qualities that can
take a little cold meat, a little cold
potatoes, little cold onion, and mix
ing them together and sprinkling a
little of this and that with a few
delicate firts Of the fingers, and then
singing a song into the simmering
mixture, turn out dish of hash that
Olympus might crave.
