national head lake his seat, and
that without a doubt a very bright
future lies before the Wilson ad
ministration. Miss Foster states
that the reports of the outrages
towards the suirregettes in their
parade were much exaggerated by
the papers, as outside of a small
demonstration when the parade
was being formed, the women
wore treated with respect during

fortunate in Fire.
The follow ing account 1'rmii I he
Capital News of a disastrous lire
that swepl. one of I lie largest store
buildings in lloise, Idaho, and
among I he heaviest losers was
Noel H. Itawls, formerly of this
cily, who will lose considerable,
jas tlie amount oi ine insurance
will not near cover the loss sus
tained on the stock of sporting
goods and papers. The lire was
the largest that has occurred in
Boise in for a year:
Fire which originated among a
pile of boxes in the basement of
Hernstein's millinery store at i)l!
Main street yesterday afternoon
destroyed the stock of the mil
linery shop and of the Itawl sta
tionery store next door. The
basement of Woolworlh's 15-cent
s ore was Hooded with water and
the stock greatly damaged. The
Hank bullet west o.f I bo place of
I be lire, w as also damaged to a
small extent by smoke and water.
The total loss to the building,
which is owned by F. 11. Collin,
and to the stocks of merchandise
in the four business bouses will
total Kl 7,500. The amount of in
surance carried on I he merchan
dise amounts to 7,0(I0, while Ibe
building is fully covered.
Practically all the damage was
done by smoke and water. The
stock of the ltawl slationery sfore.
valued al ".0I0, is ruined and
eannol be sold for old paper. II

I)
Raw ls. proprielor of I he eslab-
lisbmenl. does not 1 h ink that any
of the stationery, magazines,
books or sporting goods in the
slock will bo of any value. At
the time (lie lire occurred Mr.
Rawls was convalescing in a local
hospital. The company carried
!2,000 insurance.
The business will open Ibis
morning at fll.'H! Main street and
be continued there unlil repairs
are made to the Cotton building.
The Woolvvorlh store carried
insurance snlliciont to cover the
81,000 loss sustained through
the flooding of its basement, and
the Bank buffet is fully insured
against the .$500 loss sustained
by smoke and water and the
blistering of graining upon Ibe
woodwork.
The origin of the tire is a
mystery. A theory has been ad
vanced that it originated from
spontaneous combustion. Frank
It. Collin, owner of the building,
llxes bis loss at $0,000. He car
ried SI 2,000 insurance upon the
building.
Out for a Good Man.
J. G. Wunderlich and John A.
Whitemail, members of the A. 0.
U. V from Nehawka, were in
Plattsmouth last Friday evening
to meet with the Palttsmouth
lodge of that order in Ibe interests
of Bro. Frank P. Sheldon, who is
a candidate for the office- of Grand
Treasurer. If Frank Sheldon was
known all over the state of Ne
braska as well as he is known in
Cass county ho would need no
assistance from the home county
orders in his candidacy. We know
of no man in Hie slate that is hel
ler qualified for the position than
Frank Sheldon, and no doubt
every delegale from Ibis county
lo Ibe Grand Lodge session will
exert every honorable means in
bis behalf. The office of Grand
Treasurer is usually given to the
best men in the order, and if there
i is a heller man m ine entire siaie,
either in or out of the order, for
a position of Ibis kind, we do no
know him.
P. If. Meisinger was in the city
Saturday from his farm lo attend

RYNOTT'S TfiSTEY AND UP-TO-DATE
STORE ROOM
The. store building 'of Mai I hew
Goring, which is occupied by Fd
wanl Rynott, the druggist, has
.just received a thorough over
hauling and remodeling and
placed in first-class shape and is
now one of the neatest and most
up-to-date stores in the city, and
Mr. Rynolt will have an excellent
opportunity lo display his goods
to advantage in the new show
windows that have just been
completed. The new front adds
much to I he appearance of Main
si reel and is one of the nicest in
town. The back of the windows
are paneled half way up wilh
dark oak, and I ho rest of I he
back is of glass, which affords
plenty of light for the store room.
Another big improvement to the
room is the new stool ceiling that
has just boon put in and has been
decorated most artistically by J.
R. Rummorlleld, who has also
done the decorating of the fixtures
of the store, and the job is one
thai he should feel very proud of,
as it is a very artistic one, and
with now electric lights that have
jusl been installed (lie store pre
sents a fine appearance. The new
improvements at the building rep
resent quite an outlay of money
on the part of Mr. Goring, but it
puis his building in nice shape.

The large chimney that has
stood for years at the old brick
and terra col I a works on Wash
ington avenue is about to bo
numbered with the things of the
past, as it has boon purchased
by Chris Mockonhaupt and the -work

of the chimney and a falo work of
wood placed instead, which will
be fired tomorrow afternoon at
