SOCIETY HAS A BUSY WEEK
Several Notable Events Occur to Mark the
Passing Autumn Days.
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE KING'S BALL
V In Alrcndr
Lcicc at Ak-Snr-llcii
Anticipated by Kiilxlidi nnd La
dle * nnd Jinny 1'lnna Are
limed on that Invent.
Thft remarkable Influx of strangers Into
the city last week did not prevent the
devotees of Omaha society from having a
tolerably good tlmo themselves. This mu
nicipality may have been crowded , but It
was not too crowded for the beaux and
belles to break through and seek out pleas
ing tmcnltlcs. The Donnelly-Kean nuptials
and the partite of Miss Crclghton and Miss
Nash were among the notable events of the
week. The latter was conspicuous on ac
count of Its originality. One would not
uspect the smelting works of forming the
most delightful surroundings for a party ,
but those who wcro favored with Invita
tions declare It was ono of the most en
joyable , as well as .rare , events of the
season.
In the near future the one affair that
spreads Its brilliant rays before It Is the
grand coronation ball of the Knights of Ak-
Bar-Den. The elaborate preparations that
are being made for the event Justify the
prediction that It will bo the most elegant
dance ever given by the worthy knights.
It Irf to take place at the Den of the knlghU
on the evening of Friday , October 7. Those
who have undergone the trials and Jars of
dancing at the Ak-Sar-Ben balls , regretting
their pains and tribulation the following
day , in > cars gone by , will welcome the
announcement that the dancing floor Is to
be rebuilt , and that delightful pastlmo this
year made possible. The decorations will
bo novel and elaborate , an extensive use
of electric lights being planned. The work
of preparing the big den for the ball will
begin Immediately after the last Initiatory
proceedings of the year , tomorrow evening ,
end'the immense hall will bo completely
transformed Into a beautiful garden with
waterfalls and grottos within the next fort
night
Numbered amone the lair leaders of
Omaha society are several young women
whoso enthusiasm over athletic sports is
well known. Golf may not bo so popular
hero as In other cities , but then no city
of Its size can equal Omaha In number and
ability of horsewomen. One of these .re
cently went to Chicago. She was there for
n. good tlmo and did not decline an Invita
tion to erf to the races. The races wore
very excitlnc and when her escort volun
teered the information that ho had ft
Btralght tip on the next race she concluded
to risk a bit of her spending money on It.
After a hasty reckoning of her probable
expenditures before reaching homo she de
cided to ploy no less than $175 pn the sure
thing. Why shouldn't she ? Her father
had given her $200 and she had only used
a small part of It. So she passed over the
$175 lo Jack and told him to play It. He
was dazed at the boldness of the girl , but
Btlll ho couldn't go back on his tip. The
i Omaha girl played her $175 , Jack played
less , and both lost. The sure winner
I finished third.
It eaulred some courage for the girl to
! relate the sad tale of her loss to her
i father after returning home. But when he
i asked her for n financial statement what
could the poor girl do ? She frankly 'fcsscd
up the whole thing. Instead of delivering
a severe lecture on the subject of gambling
on horse races the head of the house comforted -
, forted the poor girl In tears In this fashion :
| "Chcor up. I'll give you back the money
> you lost. This family Is nothing If not
I sporty. Only the next time you play the
I races Just let your daddy In the game with
\ you and wo won't bet on the favorites. "

1 The exposition climbers of the Salvation
k 'Army were outdone one afternoon last week.
| Several adventurous spirits from society
! ranks concluded that It would bo a prime
Joke and almost equal to ascending Mount
' Blanc , to climb to the dome of the Government -
. ment building. Ladders were procured nnd
1 they started on their perilous Journey. It
? was like the children's game of "follow your
\ leader. " Outside , on ladders , and Inside , on
! any projection a foothold could bo obtained ,
t until at last , breathless but exultant over
? tbo success of their daring deed , they sat
' on the pinnacle of the dome , and from this
5 point of vantage viewed tbo llfo saving cx-

Woman's Mysterious Ills.
Explanation of their nature by Dr. Hartman , who tells how to cure them.
women arc constantly puz
zled about their health. In
deed female troubles puzzle all
women. Older women have
cxpedence- but fcw p ° sscss
knowledge of the subject. The
periodical suffering is painful.
It is accompanied by many
varying sensations that distress.
IIovv much of this is necessary
is a matter of guesswork. The
whole question is shrouded in
professional mystery.
Dr. Hartman's book for women ,
called " Health and Ucauty , " treats
, these matters with delicacy , and at
the hamo time with clearness. Write
to the Pe-ni-na Medicine Company , Columbus , O. , for it : it ib mailed free. It
is iv practical printed talk to women. Dr. Uartman defines women's diseases as
catarrh and tells how I'e-ru-na cures them.
Mrs. 0. C. Naeve , 330 Morrison St. , Portland , Ore. , writes as follows :
Pe-ru-na Medicine Co. , Columbus , O.
DKAJI SHIS : "I began to take Pe-ru-na when I lived in Columbus , O. , in 1887 ,
and have used it and the Man-a-lin ever since whenever 1 needed medicine. I
have never found an equal to Pc-ru-na for regulating the menses , and before I
began to take it I w as never regular and always had more or less pain. I had
tried many different medicines before I saw Pc-ru-na but without success. "
There is nothing mysterious about the action of Pe-ru-na. It ii not a
"cure-all , " but it cures catarrh wherever located , and there may be , catarrh in
any organ of the body , as all are lined with mucous membrane.
Mrs. M. C. Mehl , 501 Walnut St. , Columbia , Pa , says : 'vl have been troubled
w ith catarrh and a soreness in ray bowels for beveral years. 1 tried everything
that was recommended. I tried Pe-ru-na and am happy to say that I am now
entirely well. "
Dr. Hartman's advice may be had without charge by any woman who will
write for it. His book on Chronic Catarrh is also mailed free. It explains the
dancer of local treatment. All druggists sell Pe-ru-na.
