It has been possible for Hons nnd daughters
of men to stroll and drive In tho twilight,
careless of destination. Tired men of bus
iness have stretrhed their rugs on their
lawns and enjoyed their pipes In the cool
of the evening.

Fow thero be who understand the mys
terious powers and possibilities of electric
ity. Since the days of Henjamln Franklin
men have tested and experimented with
I... j iuH m-Kirai ui success, nut never with a I
thorough understanding of this subtle force.
ut into years many new truths hnvo been
uisrovorou. and among these perhaps the
most important Is that tho proper applica
tion of electricity is it permanent specltic for
many ills. Along this line the new Itens-
trom Hygiene Hath company has experi
mented for several years and the results
finally obtained and put Into practical force
and effect by means of the Ilenstrom treat
ment have been a revelation to scientists
and physicians. That mysterious force is as
mysterious as ever, hut somo wonderful
things have been learned and the treatment
now being so successfully given at the
i.aiucs- uauiery seems to provo beyond a
doubt that electricity Is in truth the vital
force of all nature. The treatment Is given
in connection with hygiene bathing and mas
sage nnd tho nppllcntlon Is entirely differ
ent from the old-fashioned shocks or strong
currents administered through belts or from
batteries. I'nder the new plan a gentle glow
Is felt lu nil parts of the body, every nerve,
tissue, muscle and organ of the entire sys
tem being permeated with new Ufa and
vigor. Itheumatlsm and nervous troubles
tire nulckly nnd permanently cured, u healthy
circulation Is Imliicrd nnd a lease nf new
life und health results. For reducing ex
cessive weight or developing tho figure, for
clearing the complexion and eliminating tho
lines of worry or III health, this treatment
Is uncqunled.

hlle little stir Is being made In the
building trndes of Omaha that brunch of
Industry is responding to the prospctous'
conditions of tho city, state and country In,
common with all other lines of business.
Improvement In this Industry means morel
for thU'dty this year than It hns over meant
before, for it larger part of the money spent
goes Into tho pockets of the mechanics of th
city. Wages In nil of the building trades
have been advanced In the last two .vearp
and many of the worklngmen have receiver
advances this spring. While the price o?
building material has advanced to n iou
sldcrnblo extent nnd tho advance has caused
tho erection of many houies to be pottponcii,
yet tho figures for the term fiom January 1
to August HI show Hint tho value of the
buildings and Improvements now under wny
Is largor than for the sumo timo In any
year slnco 1S95, with tho exception of lyjs,
tho year of tho Transmlsslsslppl exposition.
Tho figures nro tnken from the record of the
building Inspector of the city nnd do not
show many Improvements mado without
being reported. Neither do they Include the
cost of the federal building annex, coHinp,
M 10,000. The totals for the seven nnd one
half months of the last six years are ns
follows: 189.1, $.172.12; IS9H. $205,147; 1S97,
$101,922; 1S9S. $882.rr.7: IS99. JMti.r.f.l; l!Ki.

Three thousand wnter-soaked letters for
Omaha and South Omaha wero received at
the Omaha postolllce yesterday afternoon.
Tho packages of mnll wero untied nnd tho
letters wero spread out In the olllco of
tho superintendent of mull and will be
distributed as soon ns they aro dry ennugh
to handle. Most of tho letters nre from
Now York nnd Hoston nnd were mnlled In
these cities August 15. A wreck enst of
Chicago Is responsible for their condition.
Tho damaged pouch contained many bus
iness letters, a largo amount of railroad
correspondence being ruined. Nearly every
firm In Omaha Is represented In the mass
of soggy letters. There were severnl pnek
ages of foreign lotters, but these wero tied
together so tightly that they wero but
llttlo damaged beyond losing thoir stamps
nnd being soaked open. The addrossos nre
legible on all but a fow pieces of tho mnll.
No dnmaged second-class mnll has been
received ns yet, but the postmaster thinks
It Is likely thnt pouches of soaked papers
will arrive on later trains.
