Chicago Herald: The question of financing

Philadelphia Ledger: The postmaster
general, who is figuring out a surplus for

the people expect from the postoffice is not
profit, but efficient service.
Louisville Courier journal: It is charged
that the cost of leather has stimulated the
breeding of goats in America and that goat
meat is being sold in eastern cities as NUT

goat Is another's mutton.
New York World: General Oregon is
disturbed because the code duelo does not
apply to the relations of the United States

says, the contestants first take the meas
ure Of their arms. in order that they may be
able to fight on equal terms. If the United
States desires to defend its honor, unques-

Why a Favored Drinking Resort?

why a aVOfeo drinking NebOrt1
Omaha, June 27.-To the Editor of The
Bee: Regarding the sale of liquor at the
hotels after hours, If l am not misinformed
the law is supposed to prohibit the sale in
hotels, bars and other place after o'clock.
This law seems to be a dead letter SO far
as Omaha Is concerned and in this connec-
ton rather funny incident happened Satur-
day night at the Henshaw. The cafe. at II
o'clock Saturday night. was crowded almost
to suffocation, every table in the room being
filled to its utmost capacity and drinks of
all kinds and characters were being served
without limit.
About IL o'clock quite lot Of excitement
was caused by the walters rushing around
to the different tables and hurriedly picking
up the milk colored glasses in which drinks
were served, regardless whether the con-
tents had been imbibed or not. The whole
cafe became agog, and upon asking some
questions l was told it had been tipped off
that the moral squad of the police depart
ment was expected to pay visit to the
Henshaw and that Safety First" and pre-
paredness" being the order of the day, the
management thought it would be a very
wise move to clean up.
A little later on the dance music, during
one of the dances, was changed suddenly
from an overture to national anthem and
all the dancers Joined in the grand chorus,
singing the patriotic air, after which the
musicians carefully stored their instruments
in their cases and went on their way. This.
regardless of the fact that it has been Gus
tomary for the Henshaw to continue dancing
until l o'clock or later.
What I would like to know is why the
Henshaw was tipped off and why are the
hotels permitted to sell booze in defiance of
the law II you can in any way enlighten
me in regard to these matters / will rest
under lasting obligation to you.

1.-THE Girl l Left Behind Me-"

I'm lonesome since, crossed the hills.
And DER the moor that's sedgy;
With heavy thoughts my mind is filled
Since l have patted Macy.
Whenever / turn to view the place
The tears doth fall and blind me.
When l think on the charming grace
OF the girl left behind me.
The hours / remember well.
When next to see doth move me,
The burning flames my heart doth feel
Since first she owned she loved me-
In search OF some one fair and gay,
Several doth remind me;
l know my darling loves me well,
Though l left her behind me.
Each mutual promise faithfully made,
BY her whom tears doth blind me,
And bless the hours I pass away
With the girl left behind me.
My mind her image full retains,
Whether asleep or awakened;
hope to see my jewel again,
For her my heart is breaking.
But II ever chance to go that way,
And that she has not resigned me,
I'll reconcile my mind and stay
With the girl l left behind me.

Kearney Hub: A woman school teacher in
Omaha is being sharply criticised for telling her
students that the flag is merely piece of bunt-

Gering Courier: man at Omaha filed
claim for services as pallbearer against an estate

but to the credit of the great American people be
it said that this is the first time we ever heard
OF man wanting pay for it.
Farbury News: We see by the advertise

that firm in Omaha is making beer without
any alcohol in it. Well it might make hit in
Fairbury, York. Beatrice and a few smaller

printed by the Redhelds, job printers, in little
frame building, near the southeast corner of
Dodge and Twelfth streets and later in another
frame building just south of Red6elds, scantily
equipped with printing material by Mr.. Rose
water, who comprised the entire editorial staff
OF the paper news, editorial and local writer
Subsequently the Office was removed to Farnam
street, near Tenth, new equipment added and AL
Sorenson was employed to assist in editorial and
reportoral work. The history Of The Bees
struggles for existence in its early career, if it
could have been preserved in manuscript from
the pen OF its founder, would be valuable con-
tribution to Omahas public library.

the political fasco of 1872, there is touch OF

building to City Hall park. The last act of the

to smash plate glass window in the building.
Thus kindly fate, aided by inefficient workmen,
enabled the statue to register farewell kick.
