OMAHA.-The first show OF vic.

Council Bluffs Sunday afternoon. when

marchers were literally applauded by
thousands of spectators who lined the
streets
At the time the strikers were parad
ing crowd of probably 1000 of whom
not an inconsiderable number were
women, had gathered at the corner of
Fourteenth and Farnam streets. for
an hour or more every car which
passed on either street had to run the
gauntlet of jibes and ieers. At first
the trolleys were pullel off and the
ropes cut so that the conductors were
compelled to climb on top of the cars
TO replace the trolleys.
There was one particularly exciting
moment when loose trolley pole
caught the trolley wire and broke out,
allowing the ends. carrying a heavy
current to drop. Fortunately the
crowd saw The danger and quickly
scattered so that no one was touched
by the live wire.
Finally two patrol wagons brought
twenty-five or thirty policemen to the
scene and they succeeded i'm parting
the crowd so as TO permit the passing
of cars without further physical moles-
tatlon. Five of those most active in
the disturbance were arrested, but for
the most part the crowd was good ma.

ficulty in controlling it. OF the fifty
four men brought in from Chicago a
few were put to work Sunday after
noon. but no great effort was made to
get the service up to the normal. 1t
is understood, however, that with the
new men expected to arrive the com

After the rioting at Council Bluffs

BIG YIELD OF APPLES
FARMERS COMPLAIN OF SMALL
PRICE FOR THEIR CROP.
HAPPENINGS OVER THE STATE
What is Going on Here and There
That is Of Interest to the Read
ers Throughout Nebraska
and Vicinity.

Arlington, Neb.--The apple crop in
his vicinity is the largest this season
that 1t has been for years, but the
market Is far from satisfactory
prices being comparatively low with
no local demand, owing to the fact
perhaps that there Is no one at this
point making business OF buying
and shipping.
There are few orchards near here
whose owners ship their own apples
but they are not buying the crops of
other orchards. The best market
found so far by these shippers has
been northwestern Kansas. with a
lighter demand from western Ne
braska than has been the case for a
good many years. Wealthy and Ut.
tiers have been bringing from So to
1925 per standard three.bushel barrel
for cookers. Eating apples have been
In good demand mt 81 per bushel box.
Sweet apples 81 per barrel. These
are fall apples and not what are
classed as good keepers.
There are a large number OF farm.
ers in this locality owning etensive
orchards and they are the ones who
make the most complaint, many of
them being unable to make any dis.
position OF their apples. with the re-
suit that there are thousands of bush
els going to waste or being fed to
cattle and hogs. Some OF thees farm
ers have sold windfall Wealthy and
Utter, delivered in town, at from 20
cents to 20 cents per bushel. while
the best offer they can get from out.
side buyers for hand picked fruit is
80 cents to 40 cents per bushel.
Just what will be offered for winter
varieties is a matter of conjecture
but it is probable that the price will
range around so cents per bushel for
hand picked apples closely graded.
There has been decided drop in the
market on fall apples the last ten
days, so there is poor prospect OF the
farmer realizing great deal on his
crop, though even at present prices
the apples from an acre of fruiting
orchard are still worth many times
an acre of any other crop.

From His Diseases

OAKLAND. March s.--An old head
injury and growth of adenoids at the
back of the throat have unbalanced the
mind of Benjamin R. Blotchky. a Il
year old boy living with his parents at
Alameda. From morbid curiosity
over the details of grewsome crimes
the boy has gradually grown worse
until he is now confined at the receiv-
ing hospital awaiting committal to a
state hospital for the insane.
The discovery that tae injury to the
head. located on the left =~-Srow, had
disturbed the boys mind was followed
by considerable Improvement by the
use of eyeglasses. Another la3se led
to an operation for the removal OF the
adenoids, which also temporarily re-
iieved him. OF late the boys mind has
given way completely Young Blotch-
ky was examined before Judge Harris.
but the jurist declined to commit him
and thought that good nursing and
open air life would restore his mental
faculties. That was eight months ago.
