BERLIN. Nov 3.--Germany is rap
idly approaching one OF the greatest
economical and political crises she

policy are not the most serious that
the Fatherland has TO face at the pres

hungry and the wherewithal 20 APP
pease this hunger Is growing more
and more difficult TO Obtain. The un.
paralleled droughts. the excessive
taxation. the high custom barriers and
the railway rates have all tended to-
ward forcing the cost OF food UP TO
unheard-of prices
Meat is already out of the question
for a great number of Germans Green
vegetables are so expensive that only
the middle and upper classes can in
dulge in them Potatoes have risen
enormously in price. The sugar crop
has proved an entire failure. MILK is
rare Colonial produce has become
scarcer and dearer. due 10 the in
creased customs duties.
In short. everything that the poor
man requires in order To live has risen
in price. so that he can no longer

He Flies at NeIiuh.

Neigh, Neb., Sept. Especial to
The News: Aviator Walsh of the Cur
tiss Exhibition Co., made two of the
best flights at Riverside park yester-
day afternoon ever witnessed in Ne
braska.
Shortly after 2. o'clock the first
fight was made. Mr.. Walsh attained
the height of LOO feet, travelling four
teen miles in fifteen minutes, and be-
ing in sight of the immense crowd all
the time. He went up the second
time about two hours later, travelling
twenty miles, was LOO feet in the
air and was absent from the earth
about twenty-five minutes. He twice
circled the city and Riverside park,
went east within two miles of Oak
dale, returning to the park and max
ing the descent perfectly.
Much has been said about c. F.
Walsh as an aviator, but his demon
stration in Neigh yesterday without
doubt gives him first place as an op-
orator of the Curtiss machine. He
had absolute control of the biplane at
Oil IlmCSI anu IlS llSo III lut
park in the remarkable short distance
of 200 yards.
If it can be stated that the people
of Neigh caused any ill feeling by
the failure of the flight during the
race meet and baseball tournament,
they certainly made good yesterday
in giving this free and successful exhi-
bition. The business men of this city
and members of the Commercial club
paid $500 for the entertainment of the
many visitors here yesterday after
noon.
Within thirty minutes after the sec.
ond fight had been made Secretary C.
L. Wattles of the Commercial club
made the announcement that two
flights and a baseball game would
take place at Riverside park this af-
ternoon. In an interview with Mr..
Walsh last evening he stated that Ne
ligh was the only city in the west that
has given the public free entertain
ment of biplane flight.

Fremont lineman Beaten over Head
With an Umbrella.
Fremont, Neb., Sept. 9.-There was
an interesting little scene bordering
on the sensational enacted at the mu-
nicipal light station at the hour when
the linemen, electricians and other
employees had assembled in the office
for their assignments OF work An
attractive young woman entered and,
singing out Lineman M. T. Sankey,
confronted that young gentleman with
an apology before all present for an
alleged defamatory statement he had
made. Sankey denied that he had
made the statement and blushed furi-
ously. There were at least a dozen
men in the room. Some of these COM
menced to laugh and Sankey. in his
embarrassment, permitted a smile to
play over his face. The next instant
a shower Of blows from an umbrella
commenced descending upon his head.
Sankey turned and fed, and the young
woman pursued him to the stairs
which descend into the engine room.
The flaying did not cease until the
unlucky lineman had disappeared.
Sankey escaped without serious in
jury, Notwithstanding the fact that the
umbrella was stuck full of pins for the
purpose of making it effective for q
lasting impression.
Immediately following her inter.
view with Sankey, the young woman
turned to the others.

MED that he said it," she said, between
gasps. "He told you boys that he saw
me sitting on a mans lap and it isn't
so and he's a coward or he would have

she fled, taking a badly damaged UNI

Misrepresent Norfolk House.

The Evans Fruit company, the only
Wholesale fruit house in Norfolk, is
being done an injustice by represen-
tatives OF some Omaha fruit house
who are disappearing themselves
to fruit dealers in towns tributary to
Norfolk.
From good authority II is learned
that these representatives of the
Omaha house tell fruit dealers in
outside towns that they have estab-
lished a fruit house in Norfolk and
that they keep supply of fresh fruit
in this city.
An order for fifty crates of peaches
yesterday was taken from the Evans
Fruit company by these representa-.
tives who, over the telephone, told a
| fruit dealer in another town that they
were "the new Norfolk fruit house"
and the dealer, believing them to be
the Evans Fruit company, ordered
| fifty crates Of peaches. When the
fruit arrived, he found the misrepre.
sentation and Immediately notified the
| Evans Fruit company who believe the
injustice Of such acts should not be
countenanced by fair dealers.
Evans Only Fruit House Here.
| There is but one wholesale fruit
Evans company who are receiving
great support from Norfolk business
men who believe in patronizing home
industry. At no time since the es.
Establishment of the Evans Fruit com
pany in this city have the merchants
who have been dealing with Mr.
Evans found anything unsatisfactory
Mr. Evans is a good business man and
has been dealing fairly with his Gus
toners. His fruit comes to Norfolk
direct from California, Colorado and
other states where fruit is grown, in
carload lots. No crate of fruit has
yet left this new Wholesale house
without being inspected and the re-
suits are that fruit retailers in this
section of the country are finding out
that they are getting better varieties
of fruit at lower prices. Incidentally
the establishment of the Evans Fruit
company in Norfolk has had a ten
dency in lowering prices, Norfolk bust
ness men say.
Circulate Vicious Falsehoods.
While misleading reports have
been circulated by Omaha competi
tors of the Evans Fruit company, that
the Norfolk fruit house is going tC

business men who are closely &C
quainted with the new business here
declare this is talk to steal trade
from the local house."

ter since We established here" sale
Mr.. Evans today, when asked about
the fruit business. Il know that the
Omaha firm is trying hard to take
the trade from us but the people o.
northeast Nebraska and southern
South Dakota will recognize that We
