Is the fact that every tellow who wants in his
wardrobe the right trouser for these hot evenings
and all outing occasions should have a pair of those
handsome light flannels of which we are showing a
splendid assortment in our west window this week.

puts the wearer in the "well dressed circle."
They come in plain white and cream color, some
with satin pin stripe, interwoven, or of contrast col
or. Price $5 to $7.
Full line of white duck trousers also $1 to $1.50.

Under Their Present Supervision
Many Changes for the Better
Have Been Made.
The policy of improvement I hat
has been carried on since the as
sumption of the ollicc of shop
superintendent by William Baird,
is constantly being pushed and
the simps are continually having
new additions made to them, as
well as machinery and devices to
increase tin; ability of the dilTer

rapidly and with all tint excellence
which tin; 1'lattsruouth shops has
the reputation for all over I he

The brass foundry here, which
is the only one on the lines west
of the Missouri river, has received
a number of improvements lately
and several more are contemplat

facilities of this department to
turn out its work. The interior
of the shop has been thoroughly

was formerly carried to this
building by a large overhead cable
from the plaining mill, and this
has been added to by the addition
of another cable that furnishes
more power to the machinery. In
years past the brass in the
foundry was melted in pots con
taining 300 pounds of metal and
were heated by coal fires, which
caused a great expense, both in
fuel and in tho time taken up in
melting the metal, but now the
brass is melted in crude oil fur
naces, one of which will hold 1,
000 pounds and the larger fur
nace 2,500 pounds, and by the use
of the oil a greater heat can be
produced and the metal reduced
to a melted state in about twenty-
five minutes, where in the former
furnaces it required a greater
time to melt it. This department,
under the management of Fore
man John Ltd, has turned out a
great, amount of work for the
company, and it. is of the uniform
good quality that has charac
terized all the work turned out by
the shops here.
The busiest, department of the
shops in the amount of work fs
the steel car shops, which does
all the repair work on the steel
cars for this part, of the system,
and here the spirit, of improve
ment inaugurated by Mr. Itaird is
seen at its best, as this simp is
being rapidly enlarged to accom
modate the fast i increasing
amotint. of business that is being;
sent in here from all parts of the
system. The shop, which has
been in use for several years, has
had stalls for only thirteen cars
at. a time, but as the new sheds
erected on the west, side of the
shop yards will be used by Ihei
supply department for the stor
ing of material it will' give the
steel car .-hop a chance to secure
the additional stall, making 23
in all that can be used at one
time, and will enabel Mr. Parker
and his men to get out the work
much more rapidly. In addition
to the new stalls secured for use
here several new pieces of ma
chinery will be added, including
a new and improved furnace that
can handle much larger section
of steel and increase greatly the
number of cars turned out of this
shop. It is expected when the
improvements contemplated are
finished that this will be one of
the most, complete and up-to-date
steel car shops west of the Mis
fissippi river and one capable of
handling the rapidily increasing
business in this line. The build
ing to be used for the steel car
shop has recently received a new
roof that makes it water-tight, as
has also a number of other build
ings in the shops.
The plaining mill has also re
ceiving in the last few weeks a
great deal of the improvement
which has been passed around the
shops, and while not entirely
complete, the changes are being
made and in a short time this will
be one of the most up-to-date de
partments. The lloor of the
building has been raised some 1
inches and a new floor of wood
block placed in the building,
which has necessitated the chang
ing of the machines here onto the
new floor, which has been carried
on without any loss of time. A
new system of pipes and fans to
remove the sawdust from the dif
ferent, pieces of machinery have
also been added to the equipment
of the shop and the sawdust is
carried to the boiler house to be
burned up and gotten out of the
way. Mr. Tippens, the foreman
of this lepartment, is constantly
alive to anything that will tend to
the betterment of his shop, and
conditions there has greatly im
proved over that of a few years
ago as far as the facilities are
concerned for getting out, the
work.
The Hurlington shops here
should be a matter of pride to the
citizens of I'lal tsmoul h, and their
improved condition, due to the
untiring efforts of .Mr. Baird, the
superintendent of shops, a source
of much pleasure, for it shows a
disposition on (lie part, of the
Burlington officials to recognize
the value of the shops here, lo
cated as they are in the most, ad
vanlagous place on the system,
and have always turned out the
best class of work, and the men
employed in the shops tike a
pride in having everything J hey
do first-class in every respect.
BANQUET AI IHE
WON C TEMPLE
Last, evening Nebraska Chapter
No. :i, H. A. M., held a largely at
tended meeting at the Masonic
temple, at which time William
Hummel, Nelson Jean and S. O.
Pitman of Murray were given the
Hoyal Arch degree by the lodge.
Following the initiation of tho
candidates the members of tho
lodge adjourned to the banquet
ball, where a sumptuous banquet
had been spread by the ladies of
St. Mary's Guild of St. Luke's
church, and the affair had been
prepared as only these ladies
know how to prepare an event of
this kind, and the members of the
lodge who participated in the en
joyment of the banquet were loud
in their praise of the delicious
dinner served. The table was
ery handsomely decorated in
yellow and white, daisies and
eoryopisis being used in the dec
orating scheme and the room
presented a very beautiful ap
peardance with the snowy linen
ami sparkling silver of the ban
quet board and the lovely Moral
decorations. The occasion was
otic of the most pleasant that the
lodge has enjoyed and the de
licious banquet, served , in four
courses, was nil that anyone
could possibly ask in the way of
templing things to eat.

VERY GOOD CROWDS
MEETINGS
Many Attend Both Day and Night,
and All Seem Deeply
Interested.
The meetings at the big tent
jcslerday were well attended, de-
pile the exceedingly warm
weather, and those who attended
were treated to a service of more
than usual merit. Last, evening
before the regular meeting a twi
light prayer meeting was held,
participated in by a large num
ber, and served as an inspiration
for the services held later in the
evening.
Fvangelisl Smith took for his
subject last evening "The lleason
for Not, Being a Christ ian," and
his address was most forcible and
eloquent and the statements he
gave as to the reasons many give
for not joining with the Chris
tian movement were presented in
a manner that made n very deep
impression on his hearers and
will doubtless produce much good
among those who heard his able
address. Mr. Klingler, one of the
gifled singers with the evangelist,
sang in a very impressive and
pleasing manner "Won't, You
Come Back Home?" and the
sentiment expressed in the song
was one I hat touched deeply every
one present. The evangelist and
his helpers are laboring hard for
Hie advancement of the Christian
teachings and everyone who can
should take advantage of the op
portunity to hear Mr. Smith,
whose sermons are right to the
point and free from all secterian
ism and are sure to reach every
one who attends his meetings.

ment in music and games ami
social conversation, and at an ap
propriate hour a most templing
luncheon was served to the guests
by Mesdaines Joseph Zilka and C.
C. Janda and Miss Lillian Jeliuek,
and it was simply impossible not
to do justice to the tempting
luncheon. Following the lunch
eon the bride was showered with
many handsome and useful gifts
from her friends, accompanied
by their best wishes for her
future happiness. After a short
time spent in enjoying some
music the company departed for
