MRS. JAMES RICHARDS

Mrs. James Richards of this city died
on Sunday night having been confined
to her bed few weeks, though the sick
ness which terminated her life was of
much longer standing She was born in
London England in 1849, and came to
this country when a child. She was mar
ried to James Richards in 1869, eleven
children being the Issue. She was a
woman who was held in high esteem for
her many excellent qualities. The fun
eral took place yesterday, appropriate
services being held in the NJ. E. church
Charles Keene, the well-known Eng
lish artist, used to tell story about a
farmer who once travelled with him on
board a steamer. The sea was rather
rough, and so he suffered good deal from
the rolling. The farmer exclaimed to a
friend This cap'n don't understand his
business. Why doesn't he keep III the
furrows?'

PAVING,

The desire to pave streets, since the al
most unanimous expression in favor of
paving Eighth street, has led to what is
almost an epidemic for paving. The
purpose has not assumed tangible
shape so far as the other streets where
paving is under consideration is concern
ed. There have been fugitive suggestions
regarding the paving of Commercial
street from Eighth to the Goodrich
docks. But these will hardly develope
into serious purpose. Next to Eighth
street there is no other in the city more
in need of paving. 1t is ragged, sloppy
street and one extremely difficult to keep
in shape. There is heavy teaming on it
and there j. no street in the city which
is travelled more by tourists as it leads to
the Goodrich docks. 1t makes bad i'm
preston of the city on strangers as it is
by no means true index of the city. 1t
is quite probable that the street will be
macadamized.
There has also materialized an indefin-
tie purpose to put in asphalt on Wash
ington street. street which has been
growing into business prominence lately.
There was a report that petition had
been circulated for this purpose but the
has not yet attained that stage
of progress. II is quite possible that Jay
street between Sth and 9th may be paved.
There are some difficulties arising regard
ing Eighth street which may delay,
though not defeat its paving

Who have scrofula tsints in
their blood, and who has not ?
Scrofula in all its forms is cured
by Hoods Sarssparilla which
thoroughly purifies the blood.
This disease, which frequently ap
pears in children is greatly to be
dreaded. 1t is most likely to affect
the glands of neck, which become
enlarged, eruptions appear on the
head and face, and the eyes are
frequently affected. Upon it's first
appearance, perhaps in slight
eruptions or pimples, scrofula
should be entirely eradicated from
the system by a thorough course
Of Hoods Sarsaparilla to prevent
all the painful and sickening con-
sequences of running scrofula
sores which drain the system, sap
the strength and make existence
utterly wrenched. y

Many a Mother,s wish.

Many a mother of peevish,
restless sickly child has wished
that her little one was as strong
and rugged as an Indian babe.
Such mothers can make their chill
dren strong and we'll, if they rid
the cbild's system Of worms, which
cause nine-tenths of children's
troubles. ,Kickapoo Indian Worm
Killer will do it. For centuries
he Indians used it to make their
babies rugged, powerful, fearless.
What it has done for the child OF
the forest it will do for the child
of the civilized-cure. That is
what it has been doing for years.
You can get it of your druggist
for 25 cents. Be sure to get the
genuine. The child's life is too
precious to trife with worthless
substitutes.

"BEST" CLEANING MIXTURE.
How to Make Fluid That Restores Cloth
TO Its Pristine Color and Freshness.


BEST" is the name given to a clean
ing fluid that should be in the posses
sion Of every housewife, be she wife and
mother or only aunt or housekeeper
The proportions are:
-Four ounces alcohol, four ounces
ether, eight ounces ammonia.
Let your druggist mix this for you
and never take it near "a fire. Next take
half pound of bost CASTLE soap, cut
up, add a pint of hot water and dis.
solve. Then add gallon of water and
boil. Put into demijohn with very
tight cork and add when cold pint of
the BEST" mixture. Shake them to.
gether and you have the most efflcacious
cleaning fluid that can be mixed. IL re.
moves grease, stains Except when the
color is already destroyed and it softens
the goods
Fill n washtub with warm water
about four inches deep (not hot water),
add to that about teacupful of your
BEST" mixture and then throw in your
cloth, fous or five breadths, and wash by
squeezing the water through the fabric;
do not rub. The suds will be very thick
and the more the cleaning water is fore.
ed through the meshes of the goods the
better.
From this tub take each piece and
rinse in clear water of the same tenn
perature as that at first used. This keeps
the material from becoming harsh.
Rinse until the water is not discolored,
and then, if the goods be black, throw
into pan Of blue water SO dark that il
is nearly black itself. Take out, fold in
regular way and put through wringer;
do not twist. Then hang in the shade,
but in the open air, if possible, to dry.
Next comes the pressing. If the ma
terial is black, it should be ironed upon
black ironing sheet always; if white
is used, all your trouble is for nothing,
as the lint will enter into it and never
como entirely out
In all cases where cloth is used the
pieces before marked in pairs should be
laid right to right side and pressed to.
gether slowly with heavy irons not hot
enough to leave any mark either of vel.
low or of the shape Of the iron upon the
ironing sheet. A very hot iron kills
the life of wool material and also de.
stroys the new nap effect that is pro-
duced by ironing two pieces face to face,
as before suggested. The pressing of
the cloth is as important as any part of
the work. Do the ironing upon broad
table top, so that tho pieces need not be
ironed until finished, and then lay them,
still together, somewhere where they
may lie smooth until absolutely stone
dry.
AS for the lining, wash it in the wa.
ter used for the stuff and press. If the
material washed is Of light color, it
is best to do only one piece at time
and not allow it to soak. The washing
wator must be changed as soon as dis
colored SO that for economy very little
water should be put in che tub at Il
time. Remember that the whole fiber
of fabric is dyed by the water in
which it is washed or rinsed, and If
light gray is to be washed, or white, the
water must be absolutely pure. A little
of the mixture ON a sponge will clean
spots from coat or waist.

Omaha Turned Out In Force 10 Visit Hastings
Coed NatuT6d Crowds and Their
Happy Ways.

Omaha, Neb,, Sept. 20, $780,
How This Great West enjoys itself
over its immense harvests home
is manifest these days in scores
of large and small towns. earn.
ivals ard street fairs afford the
leading staple of local news in the
papers. Last Saturday l had ex
perience of a good one in the
street fair line, by joining an ex-
cursion of thousand people from
Oma,a to Hastings. The party
was organized by the knights of
Ak-Sar Ben and the Commercial
Club of Omaha. 1t filled two trains
of nine coaches each. The excur-
sion left at 7:20 a. m. by the Bur-
lington route, and was home
again by the Elkhorn route at a
quarter to one o'clock Sunday
morning.
On the outward trip hundreds
of the knights bought pasteboard
horn, some OF which were footing
every minute of the journey of
nearly two hundred miles. The
Omaha party on arrival formed in
procession with two bands, mar
ching through the business streets
to large tent. All along the way
the sidewalks were crowded with
the people of Hastings and the
county for a hundred miles sur.
rounding the city. What with the
horn and special yell by the
Omaha high school football team,
thu people receiving The visitation
could get but sight impressions
of what the bands were playing
"a hot time in the old town" was
of course one piece. This recalls
a stroke of humor perpetrated in
one of his concert programs by
Hermann Bellstedt, leader of the
Cincinnati band bearing his name
now engaged at the Greater
American Exposition. One
number was designated as
the "Tune that Nero fiddled when
Rome was Burning" How the
audience roared when it found the
tune was "a hot time!"
After the speeches OF reception
and reply very clever ones had
been made in the tent, the visitors
went to swell the crowds arong
booths In G both sides Of the
principal business streets. The
Omaha ladies' were marshalad by
their Hastings sisters and con.

booths, some of private owners
and others for churches and
charities, including Hawaiian and
Philippine villages from the
Omaha exposition. The best part
of the Hawaiian troupe had been
at the fair several days, doing
much better business than at their
exposition headquarters. John
Wilson of Honolulu and T. Ii.
Benton of Omaha were in charge.
What was by far the most inter-
esting feature of tho festival to an
outsider was the innocent and
good-natured abandon of young
and old amidst the multitude.

Story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains OF disease is the
worst form OF slavery. George D..
Williams, of Manchester, Mich, tells
how such q slave was made free. He
says: "My wife has been so helpless
for five years that she could not turn
over in bed alone. After using two
bottles OF Electric Bitters, she is
wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work" This supreme rem
edy for female diseases quickly cures
nervousness, sleeplessness, melan-
choly, headache, backache, fainting
and dizzy spells. This miracle work
ing medicine is a godsend to weak,
sickly, run down people. Every bot
tie guaranteed. Only so cents. Sold
