CUTICURA REMEDIES -'.
, . WORK WONDERS
Mr. A. C. Barnett, proprietor of a
general etore in Avard, Oklahoma,
'tells in Ui following grateful letter
how Cuticura cured him and his son
of terriUa eczemas:
"My little boy had. iectema. Ilia
head was one solid sore, all over-his
acalp; hit hair all caine out, and he
uHcred very inu h. 1 had a physician
treat him, but at the end of three
months he was no better. I remem
bered that the Cuticura Remedies
had cured me, and after giving him
two bottles of Cuticura Kesolvent,
according to directions, and using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment on him
daily, his etiema left him, his hair
grew again, and neither he nor myself
have had any eciema since.
As to his own ease, Mr. Barnett says:'
I ! suJered with eczema, a burning,
itching, breaking out on my face for
more than a year. I took treatment
from physicians (or several months,
which did no good. 1 was then
advised to try Cuticura. I took
aix bottles of Cuticura Kesolvent, and
used Cuticura Soap and Ointment
freely every day. 1 began to improve
soon after starting to use them, and
when I had taken the six bottles ot '
the Resolvent my face had become
clear, 1 had good eclor, and all erup
tions had left me.
We two the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment in our family now for
general use, and it keei our skin
)ft and healthy. I cheerfully recom
mend the Cuticura Remedies for all
cases of eczema, (signed) A. C Har

BEATING THE DRUM HIS HOBBY!

What small boy Is . there who ha 4 not
envied the pompous person who beats the
bass drum in the band and who has not
hoped to become as great as he? To few
do the cherished dreams of boyhood become
realities. An exception is Simon E. Bern
helrrer of this city, known to his friends
as ".the millionaire drummer," who not only
beats .the baas drum, but actually wna
the band. , .
With vast wealth at hlo command, Bern
helmer is content rf he can get Into an
obscure comer and solemn! boom out the
noisy notes at the wave of the leader's
baton. It is his only hobby, and It oosts
him about $20,000 a year. As his estimated
wealth is about 115,000,000, this Is a mere
bagatelle to the "angel" of the Amlcltla.
amateur ' band, which Is the organisation
Bernhelmer owns and in which Is a humble
drummer. The man with the strange
amusement is also official bass drummer
of the orchestra of the exclusive German
Liederkrans club In East Fifty-eighth

from his own band.
Bernhelmer is of the firm of Bernhelmer
A Schwarts, brewers at 12Sth street and
Amsterdam avenue. He Is also the owner
of high-class apartment buildings on Wash.
Ington Heights, as In the Harlem district.
He Is the son of the late Emanuel Bern
helmer, was born In New York, and Is now
57 years old. Bernhelmer Is a bachelor and
lives at No. 107 West Fifty-seventh street.
When 17 years old, after a public school
education, he went In a brewery as a
laborer, and after twelve years entered
Into partnership with August Schmld, bill d.
lng up the great business which he now
controls.
Although musical In his tastes, Bern
helmer never had a musical tducatlon.
He did not get an opportunity to Indulge
his passion fully until twenty years ago.
He found that although he was the proud
owner of a bass drum, he could not play
it very well at home without exciting re
monstrances from neighbors. There was
also some slight objection in his own
household. No one seemed to appreciate
as did he the delights of a bass drum solo,
In 1884, when the Amlcltla orchestra, a
private organisation of music lovers was
formed, the brewer offered to play the
drum. Those unfamiliar with his accom
plishment laughed. However, Bernhelmer
was unanimously selected when he showed
his friends how skillful he thumps the .big
Instrument. For years the wealthy man
pounded away In the orchestra, happy and
contented. ,

clear. It Is endeavoring to establish one
of the United Cigar stores In this city.
Several previous attempts have been made
to get a good location, but each time the i
action of the trust has been blocked by .
the concerted efforts of the cigar dealers
of the city, who could see no benefit to
t their business by letting the trust get a
stronghold In Omaha.
The location the trust Is now after Is the

the Board of Trade building at Sixteenth .

expires In February and as the Board of
Trade, In following its policy of raising all -rents
In (he building, has notified the rail
road company that .the rent would be In- I
creased at the expiration of the present
lease, the Wabash officials are looking for j
a new location. Other locations are hard i
to get, but the officials are still looking
around. The officials say they do not know
at present whether they will stand the
raise In rent or move, as no good location
seems to be available unless at an almost
prohibitive price.
It Is understood the United Cigar Stores
company has the first option on the prop

move because of the raise of the rent,
among them being the Omaha Grain ex

FAMOUS OLD TAVERN GONE
Abraham Llncola and Other Clronlt
Riders Swapped Stories
There.
With the demolition of the old Keller
tavern at Urbana there passed one of the
famous old hoeteliies of Illinois. Built In
1S39, the old tavern became the stopping
place of all westbound travelers, It bellig
the only hotel between Danville and
Crbana on the state road.
For years It enjoyed great popularity.
especially during Its ownership by Joseph
Kelley, who operated It from 1849 until
1864. During the '60's It was the regular
stopping place of the old-time circuit rid
ing lawyers, among1 whom were Abraham
Lincoln and Judge David Davis. Both Lin
coln arid Davis Were warm friends of Kel
ley, whose ready wit and great fund ot
stories made him a favorite with boi:h men.
Kelley was a great story teller, and during
the months intervening between trie April
and September terms of court he searched
assiduously for "new stories to tell Abe.'
When Lincoln and the retinue of circuit-
riding lawyers and Judge arrived Kelley
was In his glory. - Out on the long porch
of the hotel or before the Immense nreplaco
he hrrd Lincoln would sit for hours "swap-.
ping stories" to the delight of the other
lawyers.
Often Lincoln's coming, being heralded
about the surrounding country, drew scores
of farmers to the hotel,, and not Infre
quently residents of Urbana drqve down
to enjoy the contest between the two great
story tellers. However well equipped with
new material was Mr. Kelley, he always
found himself' vanquished by Mr. Lincoln,
whose fund of anecdotes seemed Inex
haustible. Old residents say that the two
champions frequently told stories almost
all night, Lincoln sitting In an Immense
armchair, with wide rockers and a buffalo
robe cushion, known to the household as
Abe's chair." The old chair la still In
the possession of the Kelley family, one of
Its most cherished heirlooms.
During the latter days of his circuit rid
ing, and while traveling from town to
town on his campaigning tours, the visits
of Mr. Lincoln became famous for Im
promptu political gatherings. Often Lin
coln would sit for hours In the barroom
of the tavern, expounding his views to
the crowds assembled to hear him. Mr.
Kelley frequently asserted that Lincoln
was one of the few guests of the place
Who never patronised the bar. This was
rare, for "good" whisky, brought from the
Wabash country by an Itinerant preacher.
sold over the bar for S7V4 cents a gallon,
and practically every man, Including the
ministers and school teachers, "took his
dram."
The old tavern played an Important part
In the social life of the community, Here
during the winter months assembled all
the young people for miles around to dance
and enjoy themselves. In the yard were
held tl turkey shoots on Thanksgiving
and Christmas, when the pioneers assem
bled to prove their wonderful skill w th
their old muxsle-loading firearms. Whisky
on these occasions flowed freely, and some
famous fights have occurred about the old
building, but for the moat part the early
settler -was good-natured, even In his cups,
and no serious damage was done In these
encounters.
With the coming of the railroads and
the passing of the stage coach the eld
tavern suffered a lamentable falling off In
business, and after a precarious existence
It was closed and the building became the
home of a tenant farmer. Later It was
used for the storage of grain and farm
implements. Falling Into decay, it has a'
last been torn down, after an existence
of seventy-five years, many of Its timbers
going Into the new barn. St. Louis Globe

slower of movement and quail can some
