Cheer Up, Fruit Lovers.

The st. Louis & San Francisco officers
gave out reports last week stating that
the peach crop in Southern Missouri
and Northern Arkansas this year would
be 20 per cent larger than last year and
that it had not been greatly injured by
frosts. The railroad has received infor.
nation from stations in Oregon, Wright
and Howell counties to the effect that
the outlook there is very promising.
These counties have the largest peach
orchards in the state.
Z Orchard growers near Springfield and
in other counties near here say that
there will be bumper crop of apples if
there are no heavy frosts later.

Poor Time for a Wheat Corner.

The signs Of the times would seem to
indicate that this is not an suspicious
moment or a convenient season" for
grain gamblers to run corner 10
wheat. The people are not exactly in
the humor to enjoy that sort of diver
sion. 1t doesn't fit 10 very well with
their fpeliIg Of rcscGtmnnt against the
plans of the Special Interest statesmen
at Washington to hold the cost If liv-
ing up to an oppressive figure.
Bread is the staff OF life. This may
be "bromide," but it will rot do TO
hold lightly such ! time. honored rpri,y
Gamblers have been abe to fool with
bread because of thu sporadic character
of their operations. With all The Ii
cense that is prac;iced 10 this country
in the name Of freeGt m aud PERSONAL
liberty there is rot a grain rluneer in
the land who would dare Ia hu.I up the
price OF bread hey ond period sufficient
to pull in his profits.
And the people are getting sore and
tired even with the occasional foray S 90
their rights of which the Patten deal is
an examule. They 0re asking them
selves if there is any reason why people
who earn their bread in the 'sweat Of
their face" should be laid under tribute
to pile up or 10 million dollars.
1t is poor time for running wheat
corner-almost az poor as the time se-
lected by the high protectonists to
knock revision and that chosen by the
brewers to fight decent plans of regula.
tion for the liquor traffic.-K. G. Star.

Newspaper Advertising Best.

Lee Haney, advertising manager for
the Colorado Midland Railroad, in re.
cent interview with newspaper man 10
Omaha, said, in reference to newspaper
publicity:
There is no class Of advertising to be
compared with the ad 10 the columns OF
the newspapers SO far as practical results
are concerned.
"We are making no idle statement
when We say this; we havo system Oh
the Midland by which we can tell exact
ly what our different departments Of ad :
vertising are bringing and our inyesti-
cations and calculation has led US to
the knowledge that for tangible results
no line or class of advertising is to be
compared With the newspaper. 1t is a
strange thing thing 10 me that the bill
board patron does not awake to this
fact. The billboard ad may start the
hurrsh, but 1t does not sink 10 and bear

The Last of "Bill, the Dipper."

Do you remember Bill, the Dipper?"
What! MOI You don't remember Will
lam? Well, you're lucky-b but what we
started to say was this. When William
left here last summer after his creditors
had decided that there was very little
blood to be obtained from squeezing a
turnip, he left behind (by request) var
ious and sundry personal belongings in
charge of Will Tabler, the liveryman
There was suit case, full of clothing
and other articles, not to speak of sew
eral items the suit case wouldn't hold.
Mr.. Tabler held the stuff long time to
give Bill chance to redeem them, but
with very little hope that he would do
SO. So, last Saturday he engaged the
services Of "Cotten" File as auctiopeer
and sold Bills belongings under the
hammer The auction brought SO cents
all told. Bills livery bill was $3.50,
but as MIR. Tabler didn't expect to get
any of it the SO cents was just like
money from home. We didn't learn
what per cent Cotton got for his Services

WASHINGTON, o. c., April 6.

OF the present tariff bill he will
tourney to Panama in the interest
Of his bill, which provides for the
establishment of the line of gov
ernment steamships on the Pacific
between the canal zone and west
coast ports.
Flint is determined upon the
passage of his bill and will make
every effort in its behalf. Aside
from the fact that he believes
! the Pacific ports are entitled to
I euch line in view of a similar
one now operating from Eastern
ports, he maintains that its estab-
1ishment would be of inestimable
financial benefit to the national
treasury.

AT THE PANTAGES.

Although nothing more than a
refined circus clown act, the little
reminders of happy days that
"Hee-Haw" Maud hands out at
each performance at the Pan
tages, is about the best laugh
producer that has been seen here
in many a day.
Maud is an ordinary little
bright-eyed stubborn mule, and
she looks like easy money. Be-
cause, you know, II you ride her
for one minute you get 81 and the
appreciation of everybody In the
audience. But, If you don't ride
her, you are liable to get some
swift solar plexus bumps from
padded pedal souvenirs. One
plucky youth managed to sit on
Maud's head last night for the
greater part of a minute, and it
must be said that he earned a
great deal more than dollar.
Two other acts at the Pantages
deserve mention. They are the
Orpheus quartette, decidedly clev-
er entertainers, and Christine Hill
