OCCURRED LAST
THURSDAY

Bruising nearly forty instruments.
This happened in the Omaha switch
ing yards. The train backed into
idle cars and detached the pianos
from their fastenings, and thereby
marring the finish on the edges.
The railroad company has ad-
justed our claims satisfactorily and to
the extent that we can offer this en-
tire lot at such a reduction as will
quickly sell every piano on sight.
AS the injury to the instruments in
this accident have been carefully re-
moved in our piano repair shop they
are as perfect as new and will have

company deducted from the already
low price made by the Hospe Co.

prices far i'm the shade.

We have decided to offer extraor-
dinarny easy terms on this lot Of
pianos in addition to allowing the
amount paid us by the railroad. so

This is the time of the year when
the breezy clubhouse porches are filled with
people who are merely going on from week
to week enjoying the things that happen
and are not the least surprised If nothing
at all happens. There is a lot to talk
about. at least people have a lot of time
which seems to loosen the tongue and
sharpen the imagination. who do you
suppose will be the queen of Ak-Sar-Ben
this year?" who the most attractive de-
butantes?" and various other like questions
are always under discussion. Rumor also
travels rapidly these summer days. Within
the last few weeks she has carried the news
of several engagements about, and while
one or two are temporarily denied, there
are others which have some little certainty.

Primal Instinct Dormant.

I'VE have been trying for some time 70
| get young man of sufficient attachments
| and the right temperament to instruct the
| children in games and to lead them. The
girls and boys seem unable to play together
and get fun and enjoyment out of it as
popular thoughts Of child life have 1t they
| should. 1t seems that the simple old games
like tag and pullaway and prisoners base
have lost their power to amuse More in
trtcate and modern games like basket ball
are sealed books to the children unless they
| have instruction. The wooden bars are
about as useful to the youngsters as
| white elephant and not nearly so interest
| ing.
I'VE have been trying for weeks to get
young man to take up the work and get
| these children interested in active games
long enough to forget themselves and what
| they don't know. We want to break up
! these quiet. gaping groups that seem abso-
| lutely devoid of esprit de corps. They
! have no mobility or organization. They
| won't try anything It would seem unless
they have a master going through the per-
Torrance under their eyes.
our attempt to get an instructor and
! leader has failed. 1t was thought that a
| young college man could be got for about
| $40 a week, but we soon found that college
! athletes would violate a rule of the colleges
concerning amateurism and forbidding the
acceptance of money not only for partici-
patton in. athletics. but coaching as well.
So far as I know every other available
source has been exhausted An effort was
| even made to get Truant Of1cer Parker for
| the work, as he is very popular with
| children Mr.. Parker, however. has athletic
and swimming classes Of his own and had

Summer. ever popular for It's utter lack OF
formality and unconventional laws of free
dom given to all pleasure seekers is be-
ginning to be spoken Of as though it were
already gone.
A few Of those anxious to make plans for
the new season have returned from sum-
mer trips, while many who have taken
country or mountain places are debating
just now as to whether it shall be a late
lingering out OF town or an early return
home. 1t is a hard choice to make, too,
for no matter how cool and comfortable
one may be out of town, Omaha has its
attractions and ever alluring places Of
amusement. Then there is the horse show,
which is not so far in the future but that
the beautiful gowns which distinguished
OInaha's smart set last year must be con-
sidered and ordered for just as brilliant a
display this season

CAUSE OF HAY FEVER.
Hyomei the Only cure-Gives Change Of
Climate in Your Own Home.

Fifty years ago hay fever had not
been named, but undoubtedly people suf-
fered then as now with sneezing, watery
eyes and excessive running at the nose.
The direct causes appear to be heat,
dust and the pollen of flowers, and the
only treatment that physicians recon-
mended prior to the discovery Of Hyo-
mel was a change Of climate.
Now by using Hyomei you can save
an expensive trip to the mountains and
escape weeks Of suffering. This re-
markable treatment kills the germs Of
the disease and soothes and heals the
irritated mucous membrane. it really
gives You in your own home change OF
climate and hay fever sufferers know
from past experience that this is the
only thing that has afforded them relief.
BY breathing Hyomei few times daily
you can save the expense Of a trip to
the mountains and avoid the dangerous
hay fever.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
ST. extra bottles so cents, and consists
Of a neat pocket inhaler, through which
Hyomei is breathed and which win last
lifetime, medicine dropper and
bottle Of Hyomei Rickert & Wells Of
the Red Cross Pharmacy offer to refund
the money if Hyomei does not do all
that is claimed for it.

The board of health of the city of
New Orleans has officially reported
yellow fever in that city for the past
ten days. In all there have been
about two hundred cases located, and
thirty deaths from the fever reported.
Six deaths were reported for the "a
hours ending at noon July 9th, WITH
twelve new cases developed in the
same tine.
The city health authorities, after
study of the situation, express the
opinion that there's hope OF eradicat-
ing the disease, and say that in any
event u serious epidemic is not APP
pretended.
An Italian who contracted yellow
fever in the city died at Bunkie. and
as consequence widespread panic
has swept over the country, and rigid
ouarantines have been established at
many places.
Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi are
proposing to quarantine against
Louisiana, if the interior towns dc
not quarantine against New Orleans
Memphis and Shreveport have sci
d good example 10y arresting igno
rant and excited individuals who
spread unfounded reports aboutfever
The yellow fever joker is fraud, ant
the man who starts q malicious re
port is a scoundrel that needs to b
suppressed. Then there is the fool
also beware of him, as he is as harm
full as either of the other two.

President Harvie Jordan. OF the

sued the following statement:
Heavy and continuous rains

the past week have seriously affected
growing cotton. The plants are TAX
ing on too much growth and too
little fruit where well-cultivated and
inability to pillow is making many
fields grassy. Present conditions In
dictate u shorter crop each day they
continue.
"If an IL ZOO, 900 bale crop should be
grown. which now appears an I'm
possibility, it should easily bring to
| the planter II cents apound. II only
| 10. OOO, 900 bales are harvested, which
present conditions indicate, then 1t
Is hard to predict just where the prices

delivery of their cotton at present
prices. A minimum of ID cents pei

to meet the needs of consumption.
