Perhaps the chief topic of comment In
society circles Just now is thn Dornhardt
engagement. Everybody wants to see
Harnh Ilernlinnlt and hfr nppcarnnco here
will ho distinctly a society event. 8lnce
tho rush for seats has not been so great
as was expected, and slnco tho greater
number of purchasers wore bona fide
patrons Instead of speculators, It Is evident
that tho house will bo filled with n repre
sentative Omaha audience, typical of Ak-Bar-Ilen
wealth. Intelligence and culture.
Mindful of the fact that February 20
marks the opening of tho Lenten season,
Ottn'ia society will make tho most of tho
Interval and some lively doings nrc prom
ised for tho next two weeks. Thero will
bo balls, box parties and maybo o wedding
or two, not to speak of several minor
functions. Tho usual attention will be
given to Lent, thus giving ample tlmo In
which milady may rcciiperato from the
effect of ballroom fatlguo and lato din
ners. Talking of weddings, there haven't been
so very many In Omaha hero of late, but
then that Is no Index to tho future. There
may bo n half dozen or more Inside of tho
next week, for In Omaha, Cupid sometimes
moves In n mysterious way and thero may
Lc somo surprises.

Of all seasons of the year this is the worst for the kidneys.
It is from now on for three or four mouths that those with weak
kidneys are sufferers from these complaints. It is at this time
after a cold., the grip, or changes in the system as the spring- ap
proaches, that kidney troubles manifest themselves. It, is now
that the old time victims realize more than ever from their suf
ferings what it is to be afllicted with this dangerous and painful
trouble. Words cannot picture the distressing appeals of tho
man or woman to receive relief from the pangs of any kidney
trouble. Those Avho have this disease, or who have an intuition
that they are threatened, should take immediate action to stop
its ravages before too late in the one case, and to cure up and
make the kidneys well in the other, thereby preventing it. Kill
the germ and you will have no more kidney troubles.
Kidney troubles are cureable, and kidney troubles can be
slopped. Forewarned is forearmed. There are thousands of
persons today who have had kidney disorders and who are just
as well as any one who has never had kidney trouble. Do not
despair. Cramer's Kidney Uemedy has cured thousands as com
plctely as if they never had it. Whether you are threatened or
whether you are now sick, gel this harmless vegetable compound,
ruder its wonderful inlluence you will not only ward off an at
tack, but obtain a cure. If your urine is high colored, if you
have sediment in it after standing; any pains in the bade or
across the loins, feverish, indigestion, sleeplessness, the chances
are that you have or soon will be added to kidney victims. The
quickest and best, tiling to do is to get Cramer's speedy and safe
cure. It will act upon the whole system, upon the mucous lining
of the kidneys, destroy the germs, build up and restore your vi
tality. At this time care should be taken to keep up the tone of
the system. Those who lead a natural, wholesome life, shunning
all indulgences and excesses that disturb functions, will more
readily obtain a cure.
