Six o'clock Monday night the last hour Tomorrow the very , very last minute o : the sacrifice of the shoe stock of the 11ANKHUPT GOLDHN ISAOLI3 SHOE STORE , between Iloston store am' ' Hnydcn's. If there Is anything In shoes that yet : want and It Is In the Golden Kkigle shoe store , It Is yours at almost any price you choose to name. Already the walls are belnp taken out. Half of the shelves are gone , $22,000.00 worth of shoes have been sold since the 3d day of the month , when the salt commenced. There arc $1,000 worth left that must be closed out by C o'clock Mon day night. There are men's shoes , women's shoes , boys' shoes , misses' shoes , children's shoes that must and positively shall be closed out , regardless of sacrifice , regard less of cost , regardless of anything and every thing excepting that they must go. Don' I stop to ask why ; don't stop to think of any r thing excepting that you are bound to wan shoes pretty soon , If you don't want then right away , and that being the case , It Is absolutely necessary for you to attend thla last agony of the Golden Eagle Shoe Store nnd lay In enough shoes to last you for years , or at least to buy as many as you can scrapeup the money for. There Is absolutely no use In our quoting prices In this last notice , as wo fully be lieve that the extraordinary sacrifice price which we have marked on every remaining pair of shoes In the Golden Eagle shoe store Is so sensationally low and small that you will not have nerve enough to make us a lower offer than our last closing agony price. Uomotnber that 6 o'clock Monday night Is absolutely the last minute in the life ot the Onnknipt Golden Eagle Shoo Store That settles It. _ ICverylioil } ' * CoinliiKT.

The excursion planned by the local com mltteo for the entertainment of the visit Ing Christian union delegates Saturday af. tornoon was a decided success from cverj point of view. The train left the Wcbstei street depot promptly at the time adver tised , 1:30 , and consisted of eight coaches every seat being filled with a delegate The train was In charge of Conductor C. H , Norton of the Northwestern and the entln run was made without a hitch of any kind The first stop was made at Florence , when the passengers all Inspected the pumping lilant of the Omaha Water Works company , Including the Immense pumping engine , the settling basins ana the commodious build- lug. Thirty minutes were spent here and everybody saw everything there was to see , From Florence the train traveled to Irvington - ton and thence south along the tracks ol the Elkhorn road through the fertile valley 3f the Papplo , with Its rolling meadows anil waving corn stretching as far as the eye could reach. The next stop was made at South Omaha , The stock pens were viewed from the win- ; lows of the train as the train passed slowly through the stock yards and the entire : rowd was piloted to Hammond's pack ing house , where the operation of prepar ing hogs and cattle for the housewife was 'ully inspected. The train waited forty minutes at South Omaha and when the ex- : urslonlsts had seen the complete operation jf a packing house the train pulled outer : or the Tenth street depot where the visitors tvere allowed to survey the place where strangers get their flrst Impression of 3maha. No atop was made here , but the : raln passed Immediately across the MIs- lourl river , over the Union Pacific bridge , a nest excellent view being afforded of thu Ivor valley for miles In either direction ind also of the Industries located along he river banks. The route carried the train through the .vcstern . part of Council Bluffs , giving the nsltors a very good Idea of the Twin City ind of the commanding bluffs from which t takes Its name. The next point of In- .erest was the now bridge of the Omaha Bridge nnd Terminal company , which the : raln passed over en route to East Omaha. Passing through the future manufacturing suburb of Omaha , the train proceeded to : ho Webster street depot and the trip was indcd , The visitors was greatly pleased with heir trip and many of them expressed their hanks to the local committee for providing inch a pleasant outing , which gave them in opportunity of seeing so much In such i short time.

The work of the conven. tlon will continue each evening. The pro. gram provides , however , for a short Inter mission as the parades P.IES the hall. Wednesday , September 2 , will be a bus > day with discussion of surgery and gynae cology , no less than twenty-six papers belnc on the program. This Is the year In which two qulto note worthy centennials occur In the practice ol medicine. Homeopathy was Introduced IOC years ago by Samuel Halinemann and the same year vaccination was given to the world for the prevention of the plague ol smallpox. While this meeting ot homeo pathic physicians Is not especially to cele brate the centennial , yet It will not escape notice In their program. Wednesday evening Dr. A. II. Dorrls ol Lincoln delivers an address upon "The Cen tennial of Homeopathy" and a reception fol lows , in which an orchestra and punch bowls figure as accessories. Thursday , September 3 , will be a crowded day for the work of the association In con sidering the bureau of matcrla medlca , dis eases of the nose and throat , eye and car , mental and nervous diseases , obstetrics , etc. The hall Is well selected for the meetings. H Is commodious and convenient and the evening festivities of fair week will be seen by the professional visitors , as the parades pass twice by the corner of Fifteenth and Douglas streets. The committee ot ar rangements , Drs. Foote , Hanchett. Wood. Connell , Mann of Omaha and Drs.

The general conference of Swedish Hap- tlsts to be held In Omaha about the middle of September Is another gathering of visit ors with which Omaha will be favored this year. Preparations to entertain this assem bly have been In progress some time by members of the local fraternity , whose work Is now nearly complete , and from figures at tainable It Is expected that a full delegation will be In attendance , which , with their friends of neighboring states , will make f big gathering. The churches of the Swedish Haptist denomination In the United States number about 275 and from one to four delegates are expected from each church according to their membership , The coming conference Is one of unusual Importance and the greatest Interest Is be ing manifested by those who have the de tails of the work In charge. Much credit Is due the local committees for the energetic manner In which they have taken up the work of securing the conference for Omaha and preparing a fitting reception for the delegates and their friends. It can he said of the Swedish citizens that their hospitality has been proven In several Instances and the Incoming delegation need have no fear that their stay will not be made as pleasant and enjoyable as they can possibly desire.

All visitors to the State Fair can have goods packed free of charge r Uy ( or ijjipmeoU - > * J * HAS HELD [ ITS OWN WELL Omaha Realty Compares Favorably will that of O her Cities , VALUES ARE TAKING AN UPWARD TURN Noticeable Donuuul for DcMrnlilc Itviililcncr 1'ropcrty I.HTKC Niini- lier ot SnU-M.ot Thin Clint * uMtunlty. To demonstrate that real estate forma ono of the principal features In the business of this city , one needs only to make a tour of the many offices where these transactions are negotiated. Under the reorganization of the exchange , ou the pay basis , the membership has now Increased to nearly fifty and the attendance Is good ; and In visiting the members the writer Invariably found that each one was doing some busi ness and had a cheerful word for the future. .Many transactions are too small to attract attention , but the aggregate Is good. Three different dealers stated they had bujcrs for good residence lots and are un able to get them at reasonable ) prices. The contrast Is great between prices for good , desirably located property , and that which Is unfavorably situated , with undesirably surrounding ! ! . Without experience It Is hard tii icallzo how high the former Is until you try to imy , or how cheap the latter Is until you try to sell. That no other city In the country can compare with Omaha for stability in real estate values , It Is only necessary to refer to some of the things wo have safely passed through lu addition to the general depres sion throughout the country. Klrst , during 1SS5 to 1SS7 , hundreds of thousands of dollars lars poured Into the city to buy property. People not only brought It In but sent It to friends to invest. The city at the same time wns lavishing money right and left , borrowing on bonds , grading , paving , etc. , at a rate that would be absolutely Incredible - credible these times If it were not for the record and rate of taxation as a reminder. Next came the building craze , which gave employment so generally and poured money into circulation In such quantities that all felt its Influence , and which served to continue the pace already set , the volume of which was only subsequently e.\ccedcd by n perfect avalanche of money loaned by eastern loan companies during a period when the liberality of capitalists In loanIng - Ing money on Omaha property amounted tea a contest as to who was the most reck less In disposing of his money. Now In Ib'JS all these channels for getting money were practically closed , and added to the general hard times , this borrowed money has been sent out of the community as fast as collected. Add to this the loss of crops from drouth , which was the end of the two extremes , and which gave Omaha real cstalo a test that perhaps no othe : city has had. 1'ASSRD THE DAN'GKH POINT. Is It any wonder that times have been iiard and business dull In Omaha since 1VJ3 ; and now slcco we have safely passed all danger It is a remarkable fact that Omaha business and real estate Is In belter condition than mast older cities ; and with It all wo have raised $75,000 for the State fair and will soon have $300,000 for the Exposition. Omaha's experience la only a repetition of the history of all older cities , where our second growth , which is just beginning together with millions of money In circula tlon from good crops , the Exposition and : leturn of real estate speculation , whlcl always comes with cheap property ; cxperl once and rigid economy In city govern ment , will give us a stability that can never be shaken. There was not * a.sheriff's deed on a farm In this ( Douglas ) county for 1SD5. So far the real estate men have sub scribed a little over 515,000 to the Exposi tion. tion.Jloro housco are being painted In Omaha this season tUm ever before. In New York aim many eastern cltlcfa real estate is sold by the bcjuarc foot. In Denver and Chicago lots are twenty- five- feet in width. At the weekly meeting of the Real Estate exchange complaint wcs made that lately the city hydrant water Is not as clear as usual. Heuson & Carmlchael have sold a house and lot In Ik-nsou for all cash. The Byron Heed company says there has been a dccidc-.l Increase In the call for abstracts during the past thirty days. The largest deal of the week was tht purchase by A. J. Hancomb of the propertj Et the northeast corner of Eighteenth and Douglass street for $2iiOUO , Potter & George "This week we have made one offer nl ? 3,000 on a piece of prop erty which lias been accepted , and an offer of $1,700 which we think will beyond both ire for all ca&h. Both cases are results of advertising. " \V. L. Selby "I Just offered $13,000 for i piece of property , nnd $100 per aero for i tract of land , and both were refused. In 3iie of the cases I know the owner was Influenced by the Exposition. In 1S7S , Hoggs & Hill advertised In The Uce a new cottage and full lot at Twenty- sixth nnd Farnam for sale at $575. Nebraska farms are higher In price today than over before , notwithstanding the hard times and low price of form products , Congressman Ilorr said to Governor Saun- : lprs that ho never saw as good corn in tils life as he saw recently In Nebraska. Several agenJs say they are getting bct- ; cr results from advertising than ever bc- tore. In 1878 thirty nice- lots In E. V. Smith's idditlon were advertised for $150 cath , each liy George P. Demi * ' . C. F. Harrison has submitted an offer ol (2,000 ( on a pieceof suburban property , and jutslilo parties have mode an offer on a ) lece In the city which ho says Is suru to . < e accepted. In contrast with the boom days when pur- jhascra paid only 5 to 10 per cent cash , It s a most noticeable feature that nearly all sales now are for all cash , or nearly so. The Fidelity Trust company sold lot 4 , dock 10 , Hanscom Place , to Ellen M. Car- ock. She will build a $3,000 residence m It. The Astoria Homestead company of Long stand , N.
