Tbs rest came from the ootton fields .of India and Asia. This cotton Is very Inferior to that which comes to Japan from the southern states and all the fine work Is made with cotton from tba United States. The other Is found to be too coaree and rots easier. The Japanese realise the superiority of the American article and all nr.t-clasa cotton weavers are coming to use It.

Nineteenth snd Farnam streeta, at l it o'clock Tueaday night furnished entertainment for a crowd of several hundred people and gave the firemen plenty of work for half an hour. The blare was confined entirely to the section of the building in which It started nd at no time waa there any great dan ger of a serious fire, but every floor of the structure from attic to basement waa badly flooded with water befors the traces of burning wood wsa removed. ' A meeting of ths executive committee of the hoys department of ths Toung Men's Christian Association waa being held on the third floor when ths amell of smoke waa discovered and an alarm turned In. Other portions of the three story snd base ment structure are occupied as offices, lodge rooms and dance halls, while It is the home of the Omaha. Commercial col lege and the Lyric theatre, but fortunately there were no large gatherlnga scheduled for Tuesday evening. When discovered the fire was burning principally In the neighborhood of the ele vator shaft, and from this It Is thought a spark from the elevator motor In the attic waa the cause. The flames crept along to other parts of the roof, bresklng out through a cupola and other places, a lurid hue being given to the aurroundlng build ings. The telephone girls in the Nebraaka telepnone offlcea, a few rods from the Rohr. bough building, were badly frightened at the threatening flames and experienced great relief when they saw the fight being won by Chief Salter's men. Next door to the building Is the Dertght automobile garage. In which was stored a number of cars. Fearing a apread of the fire these were removed aa fast as possible out of danger. Ths loss will bs largely from water. Large streams poured through the ceilings and floors. Pools aeveral Inchea in depth stood on every lending. Water trickled In little rivulets Into ths Lyric theater and everything was soaked. The R, C. Peters agency carries a line of $30,000 Insurance on the building. A. G. Rohrbough said he sis) carrlea IS.000 on furniture In the build ing.
