No ono thing pees farther toward
establishing the commercial value of n
city than the success of its business
houses. Omalm is to ho congratulated
in this regard. Notwithstanding the
great number of largo business firms
located in her midst , disasters in the
line of commercial ventures are rare and
of minor consequence. Among the larger
business houses which have opened their
doors to the public may ho mentioned
the dry goods establishment of
Hnydcn Bros. , corner .of 10th and
Dodge streets. Thcso gentlemen began
business in Oinnlm about four years ngo
in it small double store building which
soon pro veil too small. A fine brick nnd
Btono structure with hnlf a block of
frontngo nnd four stories in bight was
erected for the accommodation of their
fine department storo. This , too , has
proven too small in which to transact
the Immense volume uf trade enjoyed by
them. A now building is now in process
of erection which will join on to the
present structure and bo ono and ono-
Iialf times its Bixe and two stories
higher. Tlio present building will
bo raised two stories , ranking
the completed structure six stories high
and basement , and having a floor area ,
equal to three and ono-olglith acres.
A building which if reduced to onostory
would cover nearly three entire blocks.
Many of the articles sold in this great
commercial bec-hivo are imported di
rect from foreign countries , and all
goods nro purchased in original pack
ages nnd from llrst hands , thus avoiding
the costly middle men and giving their
customers the bonollta of well bought
goods. Besides their largo retail trade ,
which , embraces every requisite and
many of the luxuries necessary to the
needs nnd comforts of the family ,
They do an extensive wholesales busi
ness , embracing goods from every line
carried by thorn. This department , like
nil others in their big etoro , is growing
rapidly in popularity and business trans-
noted. It can bo fairly said without dis
paragement to any business house in the
city that the great department house , of
llaydcn Bros. , is the most successful
business enterprises in Omaha. This
great store is a monument of what cor
rect business methods , coupled with
strictly honorable dealing , will do.

A liberal education is necessary in this
nfjo of progress to the nccomplishmont
of success in any work of life. But in
the mad race for place and power it re
quires special prenarntion to insure a
plnco upon the upper rounds of the
ladder. In no calling is this moro ap
parent than In the practice ol medicine.
That mcdicnl men nro nwnro of this
fnct is attested by the largo number
of bright physicians who nro devoting -
voting their entire attention to the
treatment and euro of discuses peculiar
to certain portions of the human mint-
oray. By thus limiting their practice
they are enabled to devote their entire
attention to the mastery of specific disu
eases nnd to select romedics best
adapted to their nllovititlon nnd euro.
Many of the most valuable discoveries
known to the urofosslpn liavo been made
by these snmo specialists. They are the
hope of the hopeless , for from them must
come euro , if i t comes at all. They ob
tain results ; they euro. Among the
most successful medical exports
nnd specialists in the west
is Dr. J. K. McGrew of this
city. His reputation extends from Nor
way to Alaska nnd thousands of patients
all over the country rise up to call him
blessed. His specialty ib diseases of a
private nature nnd nervous disorders.
This gentleman is a thoroughly read ,

Fine Jlorscs in Omaha.
Some of the finest btoppors in the west
nro owned by Omaha gentlemen , who ,
while laying no claim to being turfmen ,
delight in a good horso. The proper
care of this noble animal is commanding '
more attention than used to bo bestowed
upon it. Good warm blankets now form
nn essential part of a stable outfit , and
the best informed are adding specially l
prepared foods to their list of necessi
ties. The equine anatomy is just as sus
ceptible to derangement as the human
organism. To counteract these , alter
natives , laxatives , ' etc. , are necessary.
To meet this want The P. E. Sanborn

All the world knows that tlio entire
aldermanic body of the town of Cottou-
wood Falls is fominino.
The saino is true of Oskaloosa. At
this place two elements were fighting for
supremacy. The party known ns the
"anti-prohibition" party on the very eve
of olcution got out a ticket composed entirely -
tiroly of women , intending it merely as
a demoralizing ngoncy in overthrowing
the plnns of the "law and order" faction.
But the "law and order" workers elected
"tho woman ticket , much to the chagrin
of the perpetrators of the joko.
Mrs , Salter , the mayor of Argonla , is
administering the allnirs of that town

to have attended to her public and Social

and cooking , for a family of five , nnd to
have Increased her family from flvo to
six , all in ono your.
She Is a nervous little thing and her
managers were evidently afraid that her
personal nppoanmco might not ho all

for a bevy of women took her of ! in ono
corner and adjusted her drapery , picked
out her frizzes and generally looked her
over before she mounted the platform.

Kansas is said to bo the banner state
for organizations of womon. Every town
has its equal suffrage local society , and
there nro ever a hundred woman's clubs
in the state.
Ono of the most prominent nnd suc
cessful clubs in the stnto is the Hypattn
at Wichita. It is now in its fifth year
and numbers llfty mombors. Ilypatia
was organized after the pattern of Soro-
sis. It has handsome club rooms of its
own and meets fortnightly. It is a part
of the general federation of woman's
clubs , mooting every two years , and
which will moot in Chicago in 1893. Hy-
patia frequently entertains other clubs
from sister towns , and is very popular iu
consequonco.
The equal suffrage women are concen
trating their forces nnd expect nt the
next constitutional convention to strike a
blow at the word "male" In the suffrage
clause of the constitution.
Mrs. Laura Jolitu , the state president ,
is a sweet-faced , quiet-looking womun
whoso personality is anything else than
thnt of the typical female suffragist.
The farmers' nllianco of Kansas , the
body that has inaugurated such a polit-
icaf revolution nt the recent elections ,
swears by the name of Mrs. M. E. Lease ,
who slumped the state nllsunitnor in the
interest of its candidates. This lady has
blazed up in the public sky with the ve
locity nnd brilliancy of n rockot. She is
a magnetic speaker with a tongue that
can lend itself to eloquence and patriotic
fervor , or scathing sa'ti o and vindictive
almso of her opponents.
Mrs. Lease is a palo , dolicato-looking
woman and rather prepossessing in ap
pearance , notwithstanding tlio fact that
an ungnllant Texas editor called her " ita
lantorn-jnwod , gogglo-oyed nightmare. D
She is a lawyer , nnd enjoyed a lucrative
practice before her alliance with the
farmers.
Mrs. Lease is not popular with her
own sox , but she has a linn hold on the
affections of her party.
Speaking of the fnrmors' party brings
up the thought of fanners' wives.

The average Kansas farmer lives ns well
as , if not bolter than , hia Pennsylvania
brother.
The pi osont prosperous condition has
boon nchioved by hard work , however.
The motto of the stnto , "Ad Astra per

cessful farmer. It depends on the mar
ket now whether the Kansas farmer
burns Kansas coal or Kansas corn in his
furnnco.
The women on Kansas farms aro.many

condition which requires if woman toof

Can AVomon Keep n Secret.
"Every woman is not trusty nny moro
than is every man , but quite as many
women ns nioti are so , writes Junias
Henri Browne in the Ladies' Homo
Journal. In truth it may bo doubted if
there are not moro trusty women than
there are men. Secrets are seldom im
parted to persons who do not inspire
confldonco ; they who toll what they call
secrets to dozens of persons , without
knowing much about the persons , with
out forming nny positive opinion of their
discrimination or reticence , are not apt
to have nny secrets from the entire
circle of their acquaintances. They are
moro babblers , gossips , tattlers , who try
to bstow some importance on their com
munications by declaring . .them to bo
Bccrots. Such communications are
usually commonplace , or of so little consequence -
sequence as to make no distinct im
pression on the mind ; needing to bo
labelled private , lost they bo thought to
belong to the the public. Besides , the
communicators are prone to the habit of
repeating their stories to over ono they
can uorsuado to listen to them and then
pronouncing them confidential. To any
to whom they nro thus disclosed the
stories nro already familiar , nnd polite
ness alone prevents the recipient from
immediately saying us much. Candor
nnd delicacy compel thcso , when in
formed of their confidential character , to
acknowledge that they are by no means
now. But the babblers men for the
most part take notice of this. They go
their babbling round , and when they
Hoar their currant tnlo , they like to as
sume an iujurddnir and to assort that
some confounded woman has betrayed
their confldonco ; that women never can
kcop a secret. That women should owe ,
in any measure , their false reputation to
such a dunce , is the best evidence of its
falsity.

A little over four years ago the Nebraska Clothing Company threw open its doors to the
public. Beginning at the sams locatiion it still occupies , at the cor. of uj-th and Douglas Sts ,

Gorman Girls Hcfool.
The German phis nro beginning to
complain with considerable bitterness
that American and English girls are en
croaching upon their preserves , writes a
correspondent of the Chicago Mows.
Very many Americans and English send
their daughters to Germany to bo edu
cated ; the pretty dears not only master
the language iu a short time quite as
quickly and as easily they make a con
quest of the hearts of the susceptible
Gorman omcor. The number of army
olllcors in Germany with American nnd
English wives is very larco , and the fad
appears to bo increasing. In Dresden
particularly the English and Americans
are in great demand ; the native madchon
( bo she over so pretty ) seems to have no
chance at all. In Berlin there is a fancy
for a peculiar style of feminine beauty ;
the Berliner admires brown eyes and
hair and a dark , clear complexion ; thcso
features nrguo amiabilty , fidelity nnd
gentle breeding , they claim , The Gor
man girls complain that the American
girls tire natural adopts in affairs of the
heart that they scorn endowed by na
ture with all tlio arts , the audacity , and
the confidence of the average young
widow.
By the way , the wife of Count Wahlor-
see is an American , and she is the only
person at the Gorman court who de
clines invitations to dnncos on Sundays
and who is permitted to do so without
oilonso.
As Bravo as Joan of Arc.
The administration of posts nnd tele
graphs of Franco has decided to add a
grant to the subscription opened for the
purpose of erecting a modest memorial
to Marie Blard , who saved her country
during /Franco-Gorman war in a
manner which the most unsentimental
person can hardly refuse to. regard as
heroic.
When the Prussians invaded the de
partment of the Soino-Infoiiouro during
the campaign of 1870-71 , Marie Clomon-
tine Binrd , then aged twenty , noted/is
an assistant to her aunt , who was chief
postmistress nt AufTray. Postal com
munication was interrupted in the dis
trict by the invasion , whereupon Marie
Binrd carried the letters herself every
night during a period of two months
over a distance of about twenty-live
mlles , delivering' them at various vil-
Inges hotwoon Dionpo and Ilouon.
The enterprise was full of pain an
peril. The snow lay thickly on the
roads and Holds ; the Gorman patrols
were every where , and In order to avoid
them the girl was frequently obliged
either to make long circuits or to Ho hid
for hours in a wood. Slio was arrested
three times by the enemy , but succeeded
in escaping on each occasion. After tlio
war the government offered to promote
Marie Binrd , but she preferred to re
main with her aunt. She died from
rheumatism , contracted during her per
ilous nocturnal expeditions at the time
of the war.
Tlio Origin orllriincttcs ,
The children playing round ths cradle
of our race wcro all fair. The ancient
Jews oven they were almost to a man
fair haired. The old Greeks and Romans
sprung from the gods , were sunny-
halrod , as were also the Venetians , us
Rusklns tells us. Why have nil these
pcoplo changed ? Why have wo , in
those Islands changed ? I'll toll you sir-
it's all the llvor. That's what's the mat-
tor. I once asked a physician why it
was that dark-halrod people had such
weak livers , while fair people never know
whether or not they had a llvor. Ills
answer was , "I cannot toll you why , but
you are right dark-hnlrod people imisl
bo always careful of what they cat.
There Is the whole thing in a nuUholl.
