Employers throughout the country

RALST0N COMPLAINT COMES UP

tFrom starr Correspondent.J
Lincoln, Jun l0.-(Special. )-Secre-
tary Thorne Brown OF the State Rail-
way commission laid aside the labor
ious duties OF his office short time
this morning and gave the newspapers
few things which his hired men had
turned over to his care and disposal.
Being newspaper man of long
standing and more or less national
repute Colonel Browne delights in
helping his iess-favored brothers who
have hopes that sometime they too
may fall into job where the salary
is more than $40 a week and gives
them the DOPE SO that il has an Off
cial' standing. ..... Il.
There will be hearing at Antioch
i'll which Commissioner Hall will have
the supervision on June %, il no
other dare is made, and Mr. Hall will
then proceed 90 Irwin, both on the
Burlington railroad, where the prop
osition is up for the building OF a
depot TO take the place of the box
cars now used, which are somewhat
out Of date as modern structures of
depot design.
Commissioner Henry Clarke viii
hold hearing at Raslston, near
Omaha. on June %. This is also a
matter covering depotp roblems, The
people OF that town are objecting to
the present station and its location on
the Missouri Pacific, because it is
out OF date and also out of town. They
desire that the railroad company
change the depot to more conven-
tent location OIL the main street. The
railroad company claims that most Of
the people Of Ralston use the street
car line III going to Omaha and that
there is not sufficient traffic to war
rant the change.
Several large companies handling
dairy products have notified the COM
mission that they intend to intervene
in the complaint made by the Nebras-
ka State Railway commission to the
Interstate Commerce commission on

wherein the roads are contemplating
a raise in rates. Among the Nebraska
companies so notifying the commis-
sion are the York Produce company,
fairmont Creamery company OF
Omaha, Beatrice Gold Storage COM
pany, S. Z. Halkman & Co. Of Hold
regc and the Beatrice Commercial
clnb.
Farmer subscribers OF the Cedar
County Telephone company have re-
sisted raise in rates made by that
company, which covers farm phones,
to the amount OF rs cents. The COM
pany is located at Harrington and at
a recent meeting there the stockhold-
ers took up the matter. 1t is alleged
that the farmers do not so much OBJ
ject to the raise as they do to the
fact that the resident phones in town
were not raised 1t Is saic that they
will be satisfied II the town phones
are raised to the same price as the
farm phones.

MATINEE EXCURSIONS 2. TO PORT JEFFERSON

The announcement of the matinee excursions upon the steamer Park City which begin Monday, June 18th for the season, will be good news to many people who delight in a short water trip and an opportunity to visit the quaint, old Long Island village and there is no more delightful trip at any time.
 These matinee excursions have prov en immensely popular in past seasons, and undoubtedly will be more so this season, as it has been decided to give an excursion on every weekday and Sunday afternoon The steamer leaves Fairfield avenue wharf, Bridgeport at 1880 p. n- making a run to Port Jeff ferson in one and one-haff hours, and leaves upon the return trip at 4:3O D. m-, reaching Bridgeport again at 6 o'clock One and one-ha1f hours are allowed on shore at Port Jefferson and the time can be prohtably spent in visiting many points of interest.

UNRELIABLE
 ADVERTISING

There has been great change of | sentiment in regard to the reliability r or advertising The writer can re- member how as a boy he used to hear people der1de statements made by advertisers There was a wide spread feeling that you couldn't be- Heve the things you saw in print.
 It is now realized that a. merchant would better not advertise at all rather than put lying or even exag- gerated statements into black and and If they find they are given shams, they feel they are double crossed' and they take it to heart
 Advertising solicitors used to be met with the excuse from some mer- chants that they would not advertise, their statements That excuse is rare 1y given today.
 Having produced this strong feel ing in the public mind of business good faith, it is the part of wisdo dom for every merchant to see that it is Justified In certain classes of ad- vertising, such as Get Rich Quick schemes, medical notices, etc, there is still a good deal of exaggeration It hurts the whole newspaper and re- tail trade business, because it does foster the lingering feeling in the
 minds of some that publicly made statements can't be depended on
 But no matter how many fakes are still printed by the newspapers, (the reputable home paper rarely gets caught, but metropolitan papers are careless in this matter), any indivfd- ua1 merchant can build up public con- fidence in the accuracy of his state ments. Let him take pains to display prominent every article he has ad- vertised. After people have visited the store a few times, and have reg ular1y found the goods as announc- ed, the reputation for fulfilling prom ises is created and is easily main tained

EVENING.

The red-gold glory of departing day Lies like a sea of sp1endor in the
 West, And Nature to her children all doth A soft goodnight, and hushes them
 to rest. The Earth her form in pearl-gray mist
 enshrouds, While silence hovers in the glimmer-
 ing light; Across the sky sail little f1eecy clouds, Kissed by the rosy lips of coming
 night. I stand quite still, and by the deepen
 ing hush, know the supreme moment draw
 eth near When, from the whisp'ring shade of
 wonder bush The nightingale pours forth his
 music clear, He sings; and floods of broken melody, Like showers of angels tears falling
 from heaven, Pour from his swelling throat. In ec-
 stacy,
 thus given, He sings of all the good that ever was, Of all the joys that have been, and
 will be; Tears spring unbidden to my eyes be- I long ohave you lissening here
 with me.
