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 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 lo some week-end shopping with the merchants.

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. To Give Old-Fashioned Dance.
