It might have been n real cay week , but
the horrid rain came along nnd spoiled
several affairs and a few dresses. The event
to which most of the young toclcty women
were looking forwaid with some glee was
the lawn fete which was announced for
Friday evening On account of the un
toward wtuthcr It hud to bo postponed , anil
the fair ones put away their gipsy costumes
until the weather gods should be more
kindly disposed.
The silver fining to the rain clouds was
discovered in a scacon of more enjoyable
dancing than has been known here during
previous exposition weeks Witn the fallIng -
Ing of the temperature the windows could
be dropped , and indoor dancing supcrctded
outdoor strolls. Among the dances of the
week those of Miss Bessie Yatcs and Miss
Lydla Moore were perhaps the most not
able.
Omaha society during the summer season
Is enlivened by the presence of a number
of collegians of the masculine and of the
feminine gender. There is always manifest
a show of pride in the various Institutions
of learning they attend. This Is noticeably
true among the Harvard students , and only
those who know the wearers of the Crimson
can appreciate how utterly chagrined they
are whenever mistaken for representatives
of another institution.
Imagine then how one of the tons of fair
Harvard felt recently when he had this deal
handed out to him at an Omaha party He
was visiting hero from one of the most
effete localltlis of New England , and was In
troduced as Mr. lllank of Harvaid. As he
was presented to the non-collcglato scion of
one of Omaha'H leading families ho was
greeted like this "From Harvard eh'
Harvard , Neb ? Well , that's quite a place. "
The autumnal zephyrs of the last week
have brought out a variety of costumes To
stand on Farnam street and note the differ
ences In dress among cltI/ens and visitor -
alike , has been a pleasing pastime Otf ?
gaudies nnd fur vviaps , duck skirts
mackintoshes , crash suits and light -
coats have helped to make up a gassing
show of amusing features and eoualdciable
dimensions. The street lias had nj > 5''nionopoly
on this variety of dress At nj'recent party-
hero It was observed Hiat/'the youngest
dancers of the mascullmpersuasion wore
cluck trousers nnd snpu c6ats A set n bit
older were light strUped tiouters and rut-
away coats. Then 'there were a number
with dress suits , land the change bill was
complete with tlje presentation of a. pair ot
frock coats wlh light tiouscn. Although
the young imi.ii with a dress suit nnd a pair
of tan shoas has been seen nt beveial events
this seas/tin , and ono of our prominent rall-
roadcrs/lns appeared wearing the striking
combination of a sack coat and a high silk
haJt , our exposition has passed more than
hifilf Us existence without any of the dignl-
/"tailcs wearing a dress suit to lueakfast , the
/ little Incident that made Chicago famous.

At the last meeting of the Doaid of Edu

the matter of presenting a proposition to
the people to vote bonds for a new High
school building or buildings and was

Your special committee , to which was 10-
ferred the matter of the advisability of ask
ing the voters for an Issue of bonds to pro
vide additional room for the High school
grades , desires to report that wo have had
the matter under consideration. We believe
the present crowded condition of the High

should bo provided and this board should
ask the voters at the next election to ap
prove an issue of bonds for that purpose

Coloriulo'n Fruit H
The Colorado fruit In the Horticulture
building Is completely Installed nnd is prov
ing to bo one of the most attractive vet
seen. Th * en lid exhibit that Is made Is
largely duo to the efforts of Mrs. M A.
Shute , secretary of the state horticulture
society. After the legislature of the state
ailed to make an appropriation for an ex
hibit , Mrs. Shuto took the matter up with
ho fruit growers of Colorado and as a result
n , number of the best counties in the state
are represented.
Otcro and Garfleld counties have the larg
est exhibits nnd also the largest number
of varieties of fruit , though there are sev
eral counties that are making a good shovv-
ng.
Speaking of the fruit exhibit , George II
Yavert of Glcnvvood Springs said : "Our
crop this jear Is the best In the history of
: ho state and wo wanted to get here earllet
n tha season , but there were so many things
o contend with that wo found It impossible
N'o\v that wo are here , however , wo Intend
o make up for lost time and put up the
) cst exhibit possible. Wo have the fruit to
show and our growers will send It on so that
hero will be nothing stale or wilted on
our tables. Wo are right In the valley of
the Grand river , which Is conceded to be
ho finest fruit producing section In the
world. There are thousands of acres of land
n fruit nnd thousands more just as good
that are not Improved. During the last
year J H. Hurlburt of Parachute and A. J.
3lcklnson of Glenwood Springs have located
lundreds of men upon fruit farms and If the
; oed work goes on for five jcars every val-
ey In that section of the state will be
; rcat fruit farms. The beauty of the coun
ty Is that in the valleys wo do not have
! rest until late In October , thus allowing the
most tender fruit to mature. Of course wo
can't raise tropical fruits In Colorado , but
we can raise the best that grows la any
northern latitude. "
"vVcntlirr AffoclN Attendance.
Owing to the extiemely unfavorable con
ditions that prevented a normal attendance
during the last two days of the week the
record falls behind that of the preceding
week bv 15,927 admissions. The first four
days of the week aggregated almost ex
actly the same as the corresponding days of
the previous week. Monday showed a gain
of nearly 2,000 , which was offset by a
slight falling off Tuesday. Thursday was
somewhat lighter than I'he preceding Thurs
day , as thousands of people were waiting
for the next dav which was generally an
ticipated as the big day of the week. Then
came the deluge and the consequent de
crease In attendance. The following Is the
total attendance of the week , as compared
with that of the week before :

A sort of love feast was cnloved by the
Sixth Ward Republican club In Idlewlld
mil on Twenty-fourth street last night.
Various members Just got up and talked
good republicanism , and as perfect harmony
seemed to prevail , there wasn't much else
o do
A motion was carried to the effect that
Miles D Houck and Jim Tnlbott should
joth have their names on the primary
Ickcta. the one recclvlnu the highest num-
) cr of votes to bp the legislative candidate
of the ward In next Saturday's convention

Yntes , who has bien In San Francisco , is
also n candidate for the senate. A motion
jy A. W. Johnson prevailed that 0 W. Mo-
Coy bo considered the cholco of the club
or assessor for the Sixth ward , as the

voolng the democrats too successfully In

Tnlbott made clear their positions as can
didates for the lower house , each saving

ms received the unanimous endorsement of
he club for the county nttorncyshlp , was
also called upon for a speech. He predicted
success for the cnttro county ticket this
fall.
Other speakers were Secretary J. M Gil-

And what amazes 1110 most is that this

I have used 1'e-ru-na in my family
Mrs , LIZZIE
for over four years. I find it a euro
cure for all catarrhal affections so common in this part of the country. It
cure's a cold at once ; there is no cough medicine that can at all equal 1'e-ru-nn ;
as for la grippe there is no other remedy that can at all compare with 1'e-ru-na.
I notice in medical journals and from the testimony of my neighbors that the
doctors seem quite unsuccessful in treating la grippe , especially in removing
the after effects of la grippe , From personal observation in many cases 1 know
thnt Pc-rtt-im is a sure specific for thcr.c caves. I tun among the bick n great
deal in our city , and have supplied many invalids with Pe-ru-na , himply because
I am enthusiastic in my faith as to its results. I have never known it to fail to
quickly and permanently remove that demoralized btatc of the huuiaii system
which follows la grippe.
i" In panes of weaknesses peculiar to my hex I am sure that no other rcmocly can
approach in good lesults the action of Pe ru-na , It meets all the bad symptoms
to which females me subject. The ii regularities and nervousness , the debility
and misery , which afllict more or less the women from girlhood to change of
life , arc cine and all mjt and oveieome by your excellent Pc-ru-na. I wish
