BRIEF CITY NEWS
The fact that Douglas county will not
b represented by an exhibit at the
Omaha Land fhow, to be held at the Ak-Sar-I3en
coliseum. October W to 28. has
come to the attention of membera of the
Heal. Etale exchange, who expect to
hunt the matter before the exchange nt
In ineeting Wednesday of this week.
They rallxe that It la getting late to
arrange for an exhibit thia year, but they
want to start a movement which will In
sure an exhibit next year. At there Is no
real estate, concern with a tract of land
In Douglas county big enough to warrant
Its securing space at the land show, the
realty men suggest that It would be well
for tha county to appropriate money for
an exhibit, or for the Douglas County
Agricultural society to make an exhibit.
Nebraska will be represented this year
at the Land show with several times as
much space as last year, but moxt of the
exhibits will be from the western portion

Whatever dullness In the real estate
trade there may have rp-n In the sum
mer. It has panned away, according to E.
T. Heyden of Hastini; 4 Heyden. He
says his firm has made more sales In
the last ten daya than In any other like
period this year.
"There seems to be :i k'reat demand for
acreage property," mid Mr. Heyden to
The Bee. "Many penrle want a tract of
five to ten acres anil in order to get It
are willing to go from one to three
miles from the car line. They want It
for raising chickens. vegetables and
fruits.
"Even a flnslo acre, which can be
bought close to a car line, will go far
toward solving the problem of the high
cost of living for the man who has to
work for wages. One acre will keep him
busy during the hours that he Is not at
work downtown."
C. C. George returned last week from
an extended trip In the Faclflc coast
states and Canada, amazed at the rapidity
of development In the Canadian provinces
of Manitoba, Alberta, and British Colum
bia, but feeling certain that the United
States, and Omaha particularly, Is the
safest place to have money invented.
Western Canada, he sas, is passing
through that period of development which
Nebraska knew in the boom days which
preceded the great depression In realty
values.
"Calgary, which ten years ago had S.000
people." said Mr. George, "now - claims
a population of Efl.ono, and building per
mits have been averaging $1,000,000 a
month since the first of the year. Tbey
can't build houses fajtt enough to keep up
with the growth In population. They have
just built a municipal street railway sys
tem costing $1,000,000.
"Vancouver has grown from nothing to
110.000 in twenty-five years, and with the
suburbs, has a population of 140.000.
Building permits have been running $1,000,
000 a month since January 1.
"Winnipeg, which ten years ago had
40.000 people, now has 140,000, and build
ing .permits for the. first eight months of
this year aggregated llfi.OOO.OOO.' The pub
lic service corporations find it Wn possible
to expand as fast as the" city grows.
"Realty value's, however, are very hlgH,
compared ,wlth Omaha, Kansas, City and
Minneapolis. '. Outside residence property
In .Calgary is selling much higher than
similar property in Omaha. A house
that would rent in Omaha for $40 a month
rents in Vancouver for $75."
San Francisco Is erecting more build
ings' that actually needed, at present, In
anticipation of the Influx that will come
with the Panama exposition, said Mr.
George- Business la not as lively in San
Francisco, Portland, Tacoma and Seattle
as ft was four or five years ago, he said,
but it Is. healthy, substantial and encour
aging. Seattle is promised by Mr. Smith
of the. Smith Premier Typewriter com
pany a forty-two story building, includ
ing a tower of eighteen stories.
Mr. George returned with ten pounds
more flesh than he left. He was ac
companied by Mrs. George.
Ak-Sar-Ben Visitors
to Be Assisted by
theLocalY.M.O.A.
Ak-Sar-Een visitors will be well taken
care of this fall through the efforts of
the Young Men's Christian association.
At the request of the board of governors
that organization will re-eftablish Its
rooming directory, which was a success
last year. All visitors to the city can
apply at the Young Men's Christian As
sociation building. Seventeenth and liar
ney. and get all the Information possi
ble on prices and locations of. rooms with
out cost. The keepers of lodging hounes,
hotels and rooming houses are aske'd by
the Young Men's Christian association to
send in this Information at the earliest
pOBBible moment, so that the directory
will be efficient and convenient and give
as greet a variety of places to choose
from as Is possible.
BURLINGTON STILL SELLS
THROUGH COAST TICKETS
in the snaKe-up over tnrough car
service to California coast points It is
announced at the Burlington general or
flees In Omaha that this railroad has not
discontinued selling through tickets to
San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The method now employed, as explained
by General Passenger Agent Wakeley,
this: Passengers having coast points as
their destination, will ride In Burlington
cars to Denver. At the Union station
there they will get out of these cars and
step into sleepers going out over th
Rio Grande, occupying berths that have
been secured in advance, going on from
Salt Lake and Ogden over the San Pedro,
the Western, or the Southern Pacific, as
they may desire.
According to Mr. Wakeley, the only
effect of the closing of the Ogden and
Salt Lake gateway is that a change of
cars la required at Denver.
FATAL DISEASE DEVELOPS
Young Farmer Infected with Bacil
lus Which Carries Death.
HEALTH OFFICERS CALLED IN
Joseph Markln Reessiei Aireetea
Several Days A. Wkll kla
alas; a Cow that Had Dle
f the Dlseaa.
Anthrax, a fatal glandular desease. has
attacked Joseph Msckin. a young farmer,
six miles west of Benson. Macktn la be
lieved to have become Infected with the
germs ten days ago. when he skinned a
row. which died from the disease. II
he Is suffering with anthrax and Dr.
Millard Langfeld. the Omaha authority
on bacteriology, says he believes he Is
there Is no hope for his recovery. An
thrax is uncommon among human
swings, but beasts are often attacked by
It.
After a conference with City Health
Commissioner Ralph Connell and County
Physician J. W. McCrann. Sheriff
Brailey went to the Mackln farm ana
placed It under quarantine at 10:80 Satur
day morning. Quarantine cards were
posted conspicuously about the farm and
the house, and the family, consisting of
Mackln, his wife and their child, was
warned not to leave the place.
By reason of the fact that the anthrax-
Infected hide has been sold by Msckin
fears that the disease may spread are
entertained. The case has been called to
the attention of Dr. A. Bostrom, state
veterinarian, an4 the state health offi
cials, who are expected to take steps to
check the spread of the dire disease. If
the infected hide has not traveled so tar
that It cannot be found It will be secured
and burned.
Had Sklnaed a Caw.
Mackin lost a cow by death ten days
ago, skinned her, and carried the wet
and bloody hide to his barn. Later he
disposed of It. Three days ago sores
appeared on his back In the lumbar
region, but he did not regard them seri
ously. He lofct another cow by the same
disease, skinned her and threw the hide
In the barn. Friday the farmer became
alarmed and called a physician. The in
vestigation and examination of secretions
of the sores followed.
The disease is more fatal than small
pox. It Is Infectious, but not contagious.
There hardly is a case of recovery on
record.
Mackin declared he is not seriously 111
and Is angered over the quarantine.
Another I'renllar Disease.
Another case of disease contracted from
animals is being treated by Dr. R. W.
Bliss. It is that of an Omaha young
man who is infected with sporo trlchosls.
a disease common In cattle and which
much resembles glanders in horses. It is
seldom found in human beings. The
young man in question contracted the
disease while working on a ranch this
summer. He Is expected to recover.
Lock Reducing
of Lace Curtains, Drapery Goods. Curtain Nets, Up
holstery Goods, Couch Covers and Portieres
As we are discontinuing the wholesale curtain and drapery business
we find ourselves greatly overstocked in our drapery department. We have decided to close
out all our surplus stock without reference to quality or quantity so as to make room for other departments which
we now intend to open.
The prices at which these goods are offered are, in many instances, less than half the regular retail figures.
There is not an article which is not quoted at reductions ranging from 25 TO 50 PER CENT. These goods are
all new STYLES and UP-TO-DATE designs, and not anything bought, as is customary, for special sales.
You will find the choicest goods of all descriptions to select from, all offered at prices less than inferior
articles that sell elsewhere. It will pay you to supply your wants now. You will not again have an opportunity
to secure such values as these.
The few prices which we herewith quote indicate the reductions that are made throughout the stock.
