Across the street John L. Kennedy is to
erect a business block. The big buildings
Of the Nebraska Telephone company are
next in line on the south side OF the street.
Charles L. Saunders owns the vacant lots
at Eighteenth and Douglas and It is said
plans are under consideration for a big
hotel on the corner. The Brandeis theater
and office building goes on Seventeenth
and Douglas streets. Opposite the Bran
deis building on the north side of the street
five houses are crumbllng under age. The
lots are valuable. But one Of the residences
can be said to be more than comfortable.
The houses cannot pay interest on the in
vestment nor the taxes on the property
much longer. They will go and a new line
of buildings will be erected. The outlook
Is for a continuous line OF business houses
from Sixteenth to Twentieth street within
a few years. d
Omaha is short on business property ac-
cording to some OF the most farseeing
dealers. The breaking Of the blockade on
Douglas street means much to Omaha"
said A.. L. Reed, when told of the sale.
While Mr.. Hansoom did much for Omaha,
he had the idea that the property would
be worth much more and he was always
a high priced land owner and never cared
much for Improvement. Mr.. Hanscom held
much property on Douglas street and It is
a good thing Mr.. Cudahy has secured the
big vacant spot. If a line OF stores are
erected on the property, any number OF
business houses will follow and Douglas
will be a business street to Twentieth in
a short time"
M. T. Martin Of the Payne Investment
company, has sold his bungalow cottage on
West Dodge street. Dundee, for $3.50, to
v. II. Nichols, sales manager for the
Omaha Rubber company, who will occupy
II for a home.

The Commercial club has been refuting
the idea that the real estate dealers were
building and influencing others to build
faster than business conditions warrant
and that soon people will have homes on
their hands and no employment. The real
estate dealers who ave advanced the idea
are met with the record of last year, when
the Commercial club secured directly or
indirectly fifty-seven new business houses
or industries. and also the club answers
that, so far as known. the real estate deal
ers are doing nothing to bring new indus
tries to Omaha, the Sinner & Chase COM
pany being the one firm which has given
sites for industries and secured a large
stove factory and foundry. The car repair
shops at Ralston were secured directly by
the Commercial club. The opinion among
business men is hat building is not too
rapid for the growth of industries, and that
men and women who are building homes
will be assured Of plenty Of work, Many
of the homes are replacing old ones and
never before have so large a percentage
of the population OF Omaha owned their
own homes.

III they had just cut Farnam street down
where we wanted II cut. there would be a
better opportunity for It to grow and the
business district push westward" said
Judge Lee Estelle, as he stood at Seven
teenth street trying 10 look over the top Of
the hill to Twentieth street. w wanted
to cut fifteen feet more down. or enough
to make It possible TO stand at Fifteenth
street and see Twenty-fourth street. But
Andrew Rosewater was said to be crazy
when we cut off the small slice which left
the street in as good condition as 1t is"
Now the tendency Is 10 go up Douglas
street, the Farnam street hill doubtless pre-
venting investors and builders rushing up
buildings west Of Eighteenth street Doug
las street promises to become a business
street OF the first magnitude. Harvey street
has stopped with the Young Mems Chris
tian association and public library build
ings on one side and the court house on
the other. The court house and city hall
seems TO have a tendency 20 hold back
on Farnam street, while nothing IL in the

The deal made by ]. H. Dumont & Son
for w. A. Weidenhaft, when the firm Sc
cured $40. $50 for a farm just outside of
Omaha, is typical of the land deals which
are attracting attention. Mr., W~eidenhaft
bought the farm for $4,000, there being 800
acres of 1t. Sons Improvements were
made, but the price for which It was sold
this week represents an increase in its
value from $40 per acre to SO per acre.
All over eastern Nebraska this advance
has been noted and few farms are listed
with dealers for a price under $5 per acre.
Mr.. Dumont is of the opinion that the
Weidenhaft farm, which was sold to B.
N. Jensen, is really worth on an average
$95 per acre, and that If Mr.. Jensen de-
cides to sell 1t within a few years, 1t will
bring nearer 500 per acre than the so paid
for 1t.

THOUSANDS MADE ON FARMS

Farm and city property have been pitted
against each other in and around Omaha
the last week TO see which would be most
in demand and make investors the most
handsome profits, There Is scarcely a deal
recorded by an Omaha agent which does
not carry with it a story of increasing
values and almost every piece of city prop
erty is sold at a profit. Even two or three
years time has added hundreds OF dollars
to some property and dealers are advising
all Corners to buy for another advance In

The Pain Made Her Faint.

For almost four years I had
a sore on my leg, "says Mrs. Olive
Hurd of Madison, N. H., land
this spring a doctor healed it up.
| felt fine for about a month but
had to be on my feet a good deal
and above my knee came a SWELL
ing as big as my fist. It hung
down and was as red as if it had
been blistered and so sore that
| could hardly get around. The
cords of my leg seemed to be stiff
and the pain was so bad at times
that it made me faint.
One of the neighbors told me
about Sloan Leniment so l got
a bottle and put some right on.
Next morning I could walk ever
so much better and I kept right
on using the Liniment night and
morning. 1t took down all the
swelling, and the redness and
soreness have gone too. / shall
never be without Sloan's Llni-
ment in the house again and will
recommend it to all suffering
friends"

Pope Drug Store to Install Fine
Fountain.

DR.. w. A.. McPhaul purchased
last week for the Pope Drug
Store, which he bought recently,
a soda fountain which for beauty
Of finish and material is said to
be ahead of anything not only in
Lumberton but in this part of
the State in fact, there are very
few in the State that can COM
pare with it. 1t was purchased
through Mr.. ]. H. Spillman, of
Charlotte, from the Liquid Car
bonic Co. of Chicago and is known
as a Liquid iceless" fountain. It
is to be constructed according to
special plans and specifications
and it will be several weeks be-
fore it is installed. The fountain
is to be of solid onyx, with no
wood about it at all, IL feet long,
and will weigh over 6, 600 pounds.
The store will be fixed up to'be
in keeping with this fine foun-
tain and will be made an exceed
ingly attractive place.

About Train Schedules and Dis.
patching Mail.

With the new schedule which
went into effect on the Seaboard
yesterday the mail for No. As
morning train from Wilmington,
Which arrives here at $50, will
be closed at Z o'clock the eve
ming before. The mail fer "a
night train to Wilmington, due
by the new schedule at 9:55, will
be made up at the same time. It
will be well to bearin mind the
fact that mail dropped il the
postoffice after z p.frn. will not
be dispatched untii 1910 a. M.
when No. 40 will leave for Will
mington, or 5:5I p. M, when
80, evening train from AViIming-
ton, leaves.
Also beginning yesterday the
Raleigh & Charleston schedules
changed to conform with the
new Seaboard schedules. The
morning train to Marion, S. c.,
leaves at 10:45 a. M, arriving
Marion at 1850 p. M; leave
Marion $3.50 and arrive here at
$40. This will do away with
the connection at Proctorville.
Number As now goes through
to johnson City, Tenn, and
there is Pullman service from
Wilmington to Hamlet, which
will add much to the comfort of
travel over the road.
