The Hartman Furniture and Carpet com pany sets aside one day each season on which they give more thought to enter taining people than to selling goods. On these "at home" days the Hartman con cern prepares certain unique entertain ing featurea which have in the paat so In terested the home folks of Omaha and vicinity and drawn such crowds as to causa this enterprising firm to make pre parations for this season's event on a mora elaborate scale than formerly.

Ona of the most Important decorative achemes is that carried out In the electrical Illumination, which la un questionably the most attractive to be seen In Omaha. Falrbrother's full band of fifteen pieces has been engaged and this well known com pany of music makers will do Its best to make the musical part of the autumnal festival one of the moat Important and the most plecsing part of the celebration.

Their Im mense store, located at 1414-1416-1418 Doug las street, and their big warehouse, lo cated at Thirteenth and Jones streets, gives them the greatest amount of floor space used by any houaefuralahing concern, per haps In the state.

A wreck occurred In the Burlington yards Wednesday night which came near being fatal to the train crew.

In London, I u troubled by a severe itching and , ary, sounr skin on my ankles and feet. The same, Id a few days, waa tbe case with my arms and seal p. I could hardly keep from scratching, which, 1 I need hardly jsay, made it 'worse. Then large red patches appeared, with inflammation and soreness. After tn ' Han thousands of small red pimples formed. On becoming dry, these caused intense itching. 1 waa advised to go to tbe hospital for diseases of the skin. I did so and waa an out-patient for a month or more, the chief aurgecn saying: 'I never saw such a bad case of x-xema.' But I got little or no relief. Then I tried many so-called remedies, but I be came so bad that 1 almost gave up in despair. Oa coming to this country I heard so many accounts of cures by Cuti cura Remedies that I resolved, as a last resource, to give them a trial. This was after suffering agonies for twelve months, and right glad am I that 1 did so, for I waa relieved of the almost un bearable itching after two or three applications of Cutioura Ointment. 1 continued iu use, combined with a liberal use of Cutioura Soap and Cuti oura Resolvent Pills and am more than thankful to say that after using three set of the Remedies, I waa completely cured. I can only add that, should any one be suffering as I did. I hope that they will do as 1 did. and I am sure of the results Henry Bearle, 3023 Croes fit.. Little Rock. Ark., Oct. and 10.

TARVIA FOR DODGE STREET Repairs to Six Thousand Feet of Pav ing West of Fifty. Second is Ordered. With Brunlng and I're voting against It, the county board yesterday afternoon de cided to repair .0o0 feet of Dodge street west of Fifty-second. Brunlng and Ure both opposed the resolution, asserting It would cripple "the road fund and that the work could be done cheaper by the county under the direction of the county engineer. The contract was let to K. D. Van Court at a cost of 45 cents a yard for cleaning the pavement and applying tarvia and $1.80 a ton for the stone used. Ure declared the county could do the work for 45 per cent of this price, but the other members declared the county was not equipped to do the work properly. The county comptroller presented a re. port, showing the road fund contains an available balance of $2.5til, but Mr. Ken nard. who fought for the resolution, said this would be increased 2,uOO by ac cumulations and (600 by the fact the actual cost of grading would be lower than the estimated cost. He held there would be sufficient money In the fund to do the work. The board In order to help provide funds. passed a resolution providing the cost of grading Military avenue be t.iken from the permanent road fund instead of the reg ular fund. This will amount to about $1,900. wawnwrimiiiit-itiMV IS yore N The biggest sale of the present generation is getting bigger and more popular every day. The store is packed with bargain buyers.

Maxwell if the New York City schools is a valiant fighter for the rights of neglected children, says the October Housekeeper. Where you see good things in New York srhools you see Dr. Maxwell a kindly hand. The recrea tion centers and roof playgrounds In New York ure Hie result of Dr. Maxwell's untir ing and determined effort. Humane provi sions for the physical needs of the children Is his continual earnest endeavor. But the political controllers are busy feathering their own nests; tliey must be well housed snd well clothed and well fed; end what Is left? Thousands of Illy nourished. Illy clad children come dally to the schools. The question of free lunches still hangs In the balance. Epaamodic experiments are tried by philanthropic organisations and aban doned. An overwhelming majority of the children are suffering from adenoid growths, defective sight or hearing and neglected teeth. Medical Inspection dis covers these things, it Is true, but this provision for following up these cases is utterly Inadequate. The school of all others In New York that needs a well equipped gymnasium and cheerful outlook Is the most gloomy and unhygienic school that I have ever seen in my life famous 130, for so-ialled incorrigible boys, where, as one of the teachrra expressed it, "the human riff-raff of the tough neighborhood la sent." T.irse boys ore not allowed to leave the school building at noon. If they want lunch (!) they must bring it with them. Curious thing that these boys may hare some pride most curious that even these little wretched oues may have sunie feeling about eatinft before school-mates the piti fully meager fare that Is the best they can bring 'from home and so rather go with out. Only until I o'clock. It in true; but these are not well breakfasted boys. Many have been up all night. Hunger and con. flnement for five hours a day for lawless boys doesn't seem Ilk giving them a fair start, does It?
