This morning: the trade extension committee of the Omaha Commercial club, numbering in the neighborhood of 100 of the representatives of the large wholesale houses of the metrop olis, arrived in this city on their one day automobile trade trip through Cass and Otoe counties. The party, in some twenty-five automobiles, ar rived in the city shortly before 9 o'clock and each car was gayly deco rated with the famous Ak-Sar-Ben colors red, green and yellow mak ing a handsome appearance as they came into the city, and while it had been expected to stop only twenty minutes it was nearly an hour before the Omaha wholesalers could get through with their visit here with their friends and patrons and be on their way. The officers of the local Commercial club assisted in showing the Omaha gentlemen as much of the city as was possible during their short stay, and on their way southward they drove past the Burlington shops to view this great institution of in dustry that is always a hive of activ ity. The members of the party seemed well pleased with their im pression of the city and it is to be regretted that they could not see more of the residence section of the city. The route of the party from this city south was through Murray, Nehawka, Union, Wyoming, Nebraska City (where luncheon was had), Dun bar, Berlin, Avoca, Weeping Water, Manley, Louisville, Springfield, Pa pillion, and thence back to Omaha. The fact that Plattsmouth is so near Omaha brings a feeling of common interest between the larger city and our's that the visit here further pro moted. DRILL TEAM OF K. & L OF S.

Yesterday afternoon as the day was drawing to a close the young ladies comprising the drill team of the Knights and Ladies of Security, lodge gathered at the beautiful 'Wil liam Hunter home on North Eighth street to enjoy the pleasures of a fine picnic supper. The picnic was ar ranged in honor of A. L. Fatton, deputy of the order, who has been assisting in promoting the interests of the lodge in this city and who has. ler;n one of the chief organizers of the drill team, and the event was one that was thoroughly enjoyed by every me in the jolly party. The rooms of the spacious home were very prettily arranged with decorations of peonies which gave a pleasing touch to the scene. Owing to the coolness of the weather the picnic supper was en joyed in the handsome dining room of the Hunter home, and here the sixteen members of the party soon made quick work of the dainties pre pared for them. During the evening delightful music on the Grafanola served to assist to pass the .time, while Miss Opal Fitzgerald gave sev eral most pleasing vocal numbers. It was with much regret that the mem bers of the party wended their way homeward, expressing their apprecia tion of the delightful time afforded them. Bowel Complaints in India.

One of the busiest places in the city right at the present time is the tailoring shop of Fred P. Bush in the Hotel Riley block, as the work is stacked up on Mr. Bush and his force so as to keep them on the go all the time to fill the orders that they are daily receiving. A new tailor, Mr. Sunderland, of Kansas City, has been placed in the establishment to assist Mr. Bush and Mr. Gustine in caring for the orders for tailor-made clothes. The cleaning and pressing department is also rushed to its utmcst capacity, and, although they have the advan tage of the latest and best machinery to do the work, still it is hard to keep the needs of the patrons supplied as the excellent results of the Hoffman steam pressing machine in turning out the highest class of work is meet ing the approval of the public in every way. Those who have visited the shop of Mr. Bush are at once impressed with the excellent facili ties possessed there and it is a credit to a city much larger than Platts mouth. In the ladies' read-to-wear garments Mr. Bush is making a great success and is disposing of a large amount of wash suits and skirts each week, and this new addition to his line of business is finding much favor with the ladies of the city.

Chief Game Warden Ruttenbock announces that beaver is not the only fur-bearing' animal protected by the Nebraska jrame laws. Concealed in Mr. Ruttenbeck's compilation of the .'late frame laws and attached with out heading to a summary of federal regulation governing the killing: of water fowl and migratory birds, is that portion of the state law protect ing muskrats, mink and others be tween the fifteenth day of April and the fifteenth day of February follow ir.jr on the lands of another. These r.nimals may be killed or trapped by one on one's own land at any time, and the protection does not apply to such animals where there-is danger of their doinp: injury to property, either public or private. The original jrame law of Nebraska provided that beaver should not be killed any time durinj? the year, but later it was amended so as to authorize the chief prame warden to issue a permit for one to kill beaver on. one's own land when the animals are destroying trees and otherwise damaging prop erty.

The soft, smooth grain saves time and labor, doesn't dull your tools and assures a satisfying job every time. But here's the best thing about White Pine : it's the most enduring of all structural woods and this longer wear means lower cost. Even though you pay a little more for White Pine "in the rough," you save money in the end because you build "once and for all" when you build with White Pine. We carry a large stock of this justly famous wood and are glad to recommend it. If you want any items we haven't got, we will quickly get them for you. It will pay you to see us on lumber.

Propst at Mynard -Avas the scene of a most delightful gathering, when they en tertained some 150 of their friend and neighbors, and the event was one most pleasureable in every way to the members of the jolly party. These gatherings are held once each week at the homes of the residents through out the precinct and each occasion has proven most enjoyable, but none more so than that held at the Propst home and in their visits and social gather ings the members of the party have found a great deal of pleasure. The lawn of the Propst home was very prettily decorated with colored lan terns and made a scene of beauty as the young people as well as the older ones passed the hours in visiting and listening to the delightful musica program furnished by a numbec of the talented members of the party on the piano, as well as several very charming violin numbers by Mrs Arthur Troop.

' Our neighboring town of Pacific Junction was visited by a very seri ous fire this morning that laid in waste, four of the main buildings in the town and for a few minutes threatened the entire business section with destruction from the onrushing flames as there is no fire protection in the town and the efforts of the volunteer bucket brigade was unable to cope with the fire. The fire started in the general merchandise store of Anderson's on the north side of Main street and is supposed to have started from a match being dropped on the floor, near the kerosene tank, and the floor, being well soaked with oil, soon blazed up and rapidly increased .in volume, despite the efforts, jofthose who were in the .store and who en deavored to xheck the blaze by throw ing on fresh dirt, but this did not do the work and soon the whole building was filled with tne roaring flames that swept all before them, and in a few minutes had spread to the adjoin ing buildings occupied by the post office, the Johnson restaurant and the offices of Dr. Bacon, and for a few minutes it seemed as though the bank building near the scene of the fire was doomed, but the strong north wind kept the flames from spreading to the bank and other buildings near by. The officials of the bank had their books and valuables moved out of the building for fear that it would be claimed by the onrushing flames, but fortunately this structure escaped the fate of the other four frame buildings. A part of the contents of the burned buildings were removed before the fire became too fierce to stand, and this will cause the loss to be a little les.s but it will mount into several thousand dollars as the Anderson store was the largest in the town and carried quite an exten sive stock of groceries and dry goods. The smoke in huge clouds was plainly visible from this city shortly after the starting of the fire, which was close to li:30. 'The buildings were all 'totally destroyed. P. E. RUFFNER IMPROVING from Saturday's Dallv. Reports from Omaha state that P. E.
