The election will come off next
Tuesday, and the next day there
is going to be a great deal of dis
appointment; but the world is
going to wag right along in the
same old way, to the same old
tune, no matter whether Bryan or
Taft is elected. To be sure it is
going to seem like a funeral for
some fellows, but they will get
over it. The election will either
be very close, or it will be a land
slide, and it is hard to forecast
the result. Both sides are claim
ing a victory. but neither side
feels sanguine. The politicians
are not sleeping well, and down
under the surface there is a feel
ing of unrest.

Big Furniture store TO Hold Autumn
Festival.

Festival.
The Hartman Furniture and Carpet COM
pany sets aside one day each season on
which they give more thought to enter
tanning people than to selling goods. On
these lat home days the Hartman con-
Germ repares certain unique entertain
ing features which have in the past so In
terested the home folks of OMAN and
vicinity and drawn such crowds as to
cause this enterprising firm to make pre-
parations for this seasons event on a
more elaborate scale than formerly.
These days set apart for the entertain
ment OF the people are designated as
opening days" for the want Of a better
, term. The fall opening Of the Hartman
store is set for today and Hartman's
local manager confidently believes that
$4,000 people will accept the invitation OF
his firm to call on them on this special oc-
casion.
The entire store has been ~reGrranged
and decorated for today's opening. The
establishment presents a most attractive
appearance through the magnificent dis
plays OF furniture and the special decora-
ions being used. The first floor contains
a great number OF potted plants, cut flow
ers, palms. ferns and other foliage. while
the upper floors receive their share OF at
tention in unique decorative features Of
various kinds. One OF the most important
decorative schemes is that carried out in
the electrical illumination, which is I'M
questionably the most attractive to be
seen in Omaha.
Fairbrother'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 most important and the
most pleasing part OF the celebration. In
order that their tuneful melodies may be
enjoyed by the greatest number OF people
the Hartman concern has erected a huge
bandstand in front OF their store and
those who find themselves in the business
district today will undoubtedly be re-
minded hat It is the day set apart by the
Hartman store for the entertainment OF
the public.
The handsome souvenir which the Hart
man store has so generously provided for
this store is a large imitation cut-glass
preserve dish. II is OF a beautiful cut
glass pattern and stands on four feet which
makes it very attractive and will prove an
ornament to the dining table Of any home.
Every lady who calls is to receive one OF
these splendid souvenirs as an expression
OF good wishes and OF appreciation for the
lady's kindness In calling.
The Hartman firm feels particularly
grateful to the people of Omaha and vicin-
ity for having given them the patronage
which has made the Omaha store one OF
the most successful in the Hartman chain
OF twenty-five retail establishments. In
stead OF finding IL necessary to patiently
wait for their business TO become estab-
lished here this enterprise has experienced
phenomenal success from the very day Of
their opening on March II. 1905. Their i'm
mense store. located at 1n4-14i6-1ls Doug

Gated at Thirteenth and Jones streets. gives

OLD CHUMS MEET IN OMAHA
JOhn l.. sinnOtt of ewar and Rev,
Il. y. Mccarthy Have
Reunion.

A pleasant incident of the gathering in
Omaha of representative officers of the
cities of the country was the meeting Of
John l. Sinnott of Newark, N. j.. and
Very Rev. Z. F.. Mccarthy. dean of st.
Patrick's church, Jackson, Neb. Mr.. Sin
mott and Father Mccarthy are natives Of
Newark and were chums and schoolmates
way back before the war, and had not met
each other for forty years. Their paths di-
verged about 1868, when the young McCar-
thy began his studies for tho priesthood,
and later choosing Nebraska as the field
of his life's labors. Mr.. Sinnott stuck to
his birthplace and became a prosperous
insurance broker and politician. When
chosen to represent Newark in the conven-
ton of the League OF American Munlcipali-
ties, memories of his old s~choolmate were
revived and knowing him 10 be in. this
vicinity determined to locate him. Father
Mccarthy happened to be in the city,
paying his respects to King Ak-Sar-Ben.
He was quickly located by Mr.. Sinnott,
and both clasped hands with the affection
and ardor of renewed youth.
Such memories as these old boys re-
called-memories treasured by all live
e~lders-they exchanged before a group OF
sympathetic friends, who laughed as they
laughed over adventures and experiences,
fights, games, swimming matches and
thrilling contests in the base ball field.
Mr.. Sinnott is president of the Newark
City council, and his associate delegate
DR.. j. C. Froelich, a member of the city
council.

TARvIA FOR DODGE STREET
Repairs 10 Six Thousand Feet of Paw
ing West of ~Fifty-Second
is Ordered.

With Bruning and IRE voting against It,
the county board yesterday afternoon de-
cided to repair 5000 feet of Dodge street
west of Fifty-second. Bruning and IRE
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 Z. d. Van Court
at a cost of IS cents a yard for cleaning the
pavement and applying tarvla and $3.50 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 2,56s, but Mr.. Ken
nard. who fought for the resolution. said
this would be increased $1,000 by ac-
c~umulations and $500 by the fact the actual
cost of grading would be lower than the
estimated cost. lie held there would be
sufficient money in the fund to do the
work.

political controllers are busy feathering
their own nests; they must be well housed
and well clothed and well fed; and what Is
left? Thousands OF lily nourished, lily clad
children come daily TO the schools. The
question OF free lunches still hangs in the

The HIGH SCHOOL
LOOKED LIKE A
NURSERY
IBy Associated Press. I

Pueblo. Colo. oct. 16.-The Cen
trail high school resembled kinder
sarten yesterday when the pupils. to
show their contempt and ridieule for
the orders of the high school board
that the school shall not have a foot
ball team. came TO school dressed as
little children and bringing toys.
Large boys, in short trousers. shirt
waists and big bow ties. carried tops
and marbles; and the girls, with
their hair arranged in pigtails
adorned with big ribbons, nursed
dolls and teddy bears and played with
jacks.
Immediately upon the assembling
of the school the boys commenced
spinning their tops and rolling mar
bles on the floor.
All efforts to restore order were
unavailing, and the senior and jun
ior classes were dismissed
Eventually the pupils agreed to re-
turn to school and behave, but the
members of the school board say that
they remain firm in the decision
against foot ball.
