SOUTH OMAHA'S FINE SHOESTORE SOLD The Entire Stock of Hogle's Fashlonable Shoe Store at 2503 N ~t South Omuha, SOLD TO BOSTON STORE, OMAHA Commniencing Wednesday morning, Aug. 15, Boston Store, at the corner of 15th and Dedge strects, Omaha, will put this stock on sale making It at once the most sensational bar- gain shce sale that even Biston Store,’ it self, ever attempted Notwithstanding that during the last four or five weeks Boston Store has bought and #old no less than four distinct and differ- ent shoe stocks, we belfeve that the putting on sale of this Hogle shoe stock will create @ new era In shoe buying. Mr. Hogle ca- tored to the very best city trade. He had been in business in Scuth Omaha for fully six years, and his stock has been recognized as not only the cholcest and best selected stock of shoes in that town, but that his stock wias a much finer one In proportion than any shoe store in Omaha itself. H's motto, as everybdy in South Omaha Knows, has always been: “NOT HOW CHEAP, BUT HOW GOOD,” and his shoes were bought on that principle jthing was too fine, and the fact that his stock was so fine was really the only cause thit cbliged him to sell out His stock was 8o fine and times were o hard in South Omaha that p could not buy his high-grade shoes any more, and criel necessity alone forced him to part with the entire stock at much less than half its value. Watch any of the Om:ha papers from day to day until Wednesday for further in- formation concerning the wonderful /bar- gains in these high-grade shoes which Bos- ton Store will offer Remember that there Is not a lady or gentleman in Omaha today for whom thesc shoes are not good enough It will be Beston Store's plessure to put them within reach of everybody next Wednesday.

Reasons for the Organization of the High- lund Park Association. A mecting of the organizers of the High- nd Perk assoclation was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. Gilchrist, on Twenty- sixth street, near F street, on Friday even- ing. The meeting was large and enthusiastic. Arrangements were made for another re- ception to take place in the park on next Thursday evening, August 16, to which all aro most cordislly invited. In ccnnection with the invitation, the membars of the association desire it made known what thelr object in organizng and giving the reception s It is not gencrally known that a park well laid out, with trces and shrubs, grass “as green as griss can be all fenced in, occupies the space between A and D streets north and south, and Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth streets cast and west, in South Omaha. Such a spot was formed nine' or ten years ago by the promcters of the land syndicate, since which time the material interests of the city have heen so great very littlo attention or care has been paid to any of those places or things in this truly named Magic City which tend to round out the mere acts cf keeping the body and soul intact or accumulating dollars. The ladies and gentlemen residing in the vicinity of the park, in looking over the now crowded city and condoning day by day the loss of the use of Syndicate park, decided to band together fo raise funds, thereby assisting the city, for beautifying and making plensant, as Rev. Robert L. Wheeler so aptly sald, “a spot where tired men, weary women and penned-up children can go, and there find quiet and rest for both mind and body,” a place which would take neither time nor mon2y to rezen. Already quite a sum has been raised and the improvements begun, and will go steadily on till Highland park shall be all that its friends desire.

A certain family circle on Gecrgla avenue has recently been augmented by the presence of a servant girl of Swedish extraction who rejoices under the euphonious appellation of Hilda. This product of the Scandinavian peninsula has only sojourned on this side of the big pond for a brief period and her knowledge of American customs is hardly more extensive than her acquaintance with the English language. But Hilda s always trying to learn and her efforts to get in line with American ways are a continual source of woe for her mistress and sometimes of amusement for the entire family. A few days ago the feminine head of the household went into the kitchen and pre- pared some fish for dinner. When the dish was ready to serve she placed a slice of lemon on ‘each plece by way of garnishment. This was a new wrinkle to Hilda and she carefully stowed away the circumstance under her yellow curls for future us Several days passed and then the family had company to dinner. This was the long sought for occasion on which Hilda hoped to display her newly acquired idea and she lost no time in putting it in practice. The meal was _progressing without incident until the supreme moment arrived when it became Hilda’s happy duty to bring in the ple. This she accomplished, and then stood and smiled in turn on each member of the company while she waited for congratulations. Eaci piece of the dessert was surmounted by a big slice of lemon and this in her opinion was a sufficient indication that she knew her business. The guests caught the idea and the joke at the same ume-and Hilda took high umbrago at the laugh which fol- lowed. She could not understand why what was good for fish was not perfectly proper for ple, and retiring to the kitchen she could be heard hurling Swedish exclamations at the pots and Kettles for a half hour after- wards, That there are some things that are a lit- tle too deep for even a councilman to un- derstand was indicated by an incident that occurred in the city hall the other day. It is a matter of history that on a recent occa- sion tha city fathers divided themselves into a couple of base ball nines and sweltered for seven innings at the Charles street park for the benefit of the Assoclated charities. Among the most enthusiastic contestants in that exhibition was Councilman Edwards, who held down the third bag for the repub- licun forces with remarkable success and a pair of No. 10 shoes. A day after, as the gentleman named was dragging his aching limbs through the cily hall, he chanced to spy the reporter who had been unfortunate enough to be assigned to keep cases on the s and misplays of the councilmanic ath- It was immediately apparent that he had a crow to pick. “Say, young man,” roared the rival of Arlle Latham and our own “papa,” “why don't you score a game right whiie you are about it?" “I guess it was all right,” replicd the scribe, edging towards the elevator. “No, it wasn't all right. You gave me the worst of it and you know it. You put down four put-outs against me in the score and by the eternal 1 wasn't put out only once.” And having relieved his mind the councilman tired from the scene. * Within & few days the Commonwealers who have been detamned as prisoners by Uncle Sam at old Fort Sidney will all have been discharged, and the small army of deputles who have been guarding them will return to private and less exciting walks of lite. Marshal White this forenoon mad: an estimate of the expenses that have attended the incarceration of the Wealers, and he found that the figures would mount up to a pretty sum in view of the precarious condi- tion of Uncle Sam’s finances. Without en- tering into details Marshal White stated that the average expense of the military camp would amount to about $300 per day for the entire time that prisoners and d:pu- ties have been at Sidney. The entire ex- pense will foot up to nearly §$14,000. There are many odd characters among the prisoners. A murderous looking slung- shot or sand bag was taken from onme of the more desperate characters by Marshal White and one of his deputies. The sand bag had just been finished, and was doubt- less intended for serious use, against whom could not be ascertained, but from the pock- ets of the same man was taken a piece of letter paper, upon which the following fer- vent petition had been Inscribed. The only Inference was that the sand bag and the prayer were intended to soften, one the head and the other the heart, of the man who served the meals at Fort Sidney:. Now, O Lord, we come before Thee in an humble way to petition Thee to be merci- ful to us in this our hungriest hour. We know that Thou didst feed Thy chil- dren in the wilderness on manna. But, O Lord, Thou knowest that Manna or “‘puni’ is not sufficlent to sustain life in a Coxeyite, Now, we beseech Thee to soften the heart of the stomach robber that has chary of our boarding house. Check him in his money getting career, for Thou knowest that there is more going Into his pockets than is going into our hungry stomach 0, Lord, we beseeci Thee to be merciful to those that are imprisoned here and are starved. Let Thy light so shine upon adamantine heart of our boarding house boss that he may realize that we are really rving. Yea, O, Lord, while this hard- hearted man is rolling in wealth and living in luxury we starving in this land of plenty. Deliver this man into our hands $0 that we may deal with him in a way that will,be pleasing to Thee and to Thy servants, the Coxeyites. Grant this, O Lord, and Thy name shall have all the glory and we will have the grub. Amen. A sharp faced, careworn msn and his equally sharp-faced and careworn looking family passed east through a Nebraska town the other day in a prairle schooner drawn by a couple of decrepit horses which had evi- dently seen better times, and who remem- bered the fact. A coop with half a dozen chickens was lashed behind the wagon and a bony horse and mild mannered cow walked alongside in melancholy company. The sharp faced man halted to water his live stack at the court house fountain “Where do you hail from?” asked the re- porter. “Hayes county, plicd “‘Where are you going?" “Dunno; I guess back to Mizzery to my wife's folks.” “Don’t you want to sell those chickens? They aren't laying anything, and you can get as much for them here as you can in Mis- sourl." “Well, 1 dunno. I've got all my live stock b id all my real estate, 00, he added reflectively. “Those chickens are a leetle too high priced to sell, and I guess I'll keep 'em for a while, anyway “Then, why don't you sell the horse “Well, that horse is a good animal.

At the conclusion Mr. Pohl expressed entire satisfaction with the rendition of “Die Geis terschlact,” to b: given in cholr enmasse at the fest Late reports from Columbus and Grand Is land are sald to make it appear very proba ble that the singing societies from these cities are in a position to participate in the rendition of this beautiful, though difficult song.
