Norman Mrck was a member of a rarty consisting of Secretary Wood son, Roger Pulllvan, Governor Osborne, Mayor Dahlman and ethers going to Denver to put a few finishing touches on the convention arrangements. The train stopped at the Rock Island depot about fifteen minutes and Mr. Bryan. Mayor Brown, c. W. Bryn and others were ut the depot to see the visitors. Mr. Bryan talked for a considerable time with Norman Mack, merely passing the time of day with the other members of the party. '"I have nothing left to say for publica tion In The Bee," said Secretary Woodson. A Bee reporter met us at Council Bluffs and pumped every one of us d If there was anything we didn't tell him I can't think what It is now." Mr. Bryan rode in from Fairvit-w on a horse which was the admiration of numer ous citizens, who were at the station anxi ous to ee how the Commoner rode a horse other than a hobby.

HEAVY FIRE LOSS AT PILGER I a ma are Will Asaownt to Thirty Thon. aansl Dollar, with Iosaraare for Half. riLJER, Neb.. Miy 8 (Special.) Fir started last night about iniJO In C. A. Tin ney's grocery "re and In a few minutes the bulldiig was a mass of ruins. The Pilger Mercantile company's store, ona of the largest In town, a fine brick building adjoining; C. A. Tirvney's building on the south, also burned. There. Is no theory as to how the fire started, as Mr. Tinney locked up his store and had only been home half an hour. Some young men on going home saw smoke issuing from the hack of the building, kicked In the back door and found the back room of the building, which was used to keep oil. ablase. They gave the alarm and then ran up the back stairs of the Pilger Mercantile company building and aroused Mrs. Pilger, who was sick in bed with a baby only i days old. Mr. Pilger was In Stanton on business. They had Just carried Mrs. Pilger and the baby down when the stairs fell. The night was perfectly still, otherwise heavy loss would have resulted. Mr. Tinney lost everything that he had. which was partly covered by Insurance. The Pilger Mercantile company succeeded In saving part of their goods. Mr. Pilger used pari of the upstairs as living rooms and therefore his loss is doubly heavy. His stock was heavily insured. The Norfolk fire department was notified and came down on a special train, but Its help was rjot needed, as the fire was under control when It got here. OMAHA'S MAYOR IS DISTANCED Hast In sis Banker anal Roller .slake a. Record on Bear. HASTINGS, Neb.. May -Speclal Tele gram.) Mavor Dahlman and hla twenty five companions, who came bearlesa from their much exploited expedition In the mountainous wilds of the Big Horn coun try, will do well to take a few elementary lessons from former Senator Dietrich and Editor Breede of the Tribune before they again penetrate the Jungle. Today Messrs. Dietrich and Breede returned from the con quest of three bears In southwestern Colo rado, and tomorrow night the mastication of the hindquarters of the aforesaid bruin will be accomplished at a "bear feed" t. be given by the huntsmen to the members of the Elks' lodge. One of the bears was an unusually large cinnamon, with beauti ful fur, whose hue Is an excellent match for Mr. Breede's hair. Besides the bears they lowered one of the largest wild cats ever killed In that section. Both hunters arrived home Intact. They were not so much as scratched and they aver with solemnity that not one of their shots went wild. All this despite their de parture on April 1J. A numerical combina tion which they Insist Is reliable talis man. While no definite word has gone forth, it is understood that Messrs. Dietrich and Beede contemplate challenging Mayor Dahlman and his twenty-five companions to engage In a bear hunt anywhere south of the north pole. Qnantlty of ?koe Stolen. CAIRO. Neb.. May S (Special.)-A rather amooth piece of bur-' try came to light here late yesterday afternoon In the store of A. L. Barenbey. .A customer for shoes came in, and on going to wait on him Mr. Barnebey took an empty box from the shelf. Farther investigation discovered thirty boxes empty. The store was In good shape in the morning, the "burglar apparently having a key that would unlock the build ing, and locking II after his departure, thereby gaining a few hours' start. The police in neighboring towns have been asked to look out for a suspicious looking stranger who was In the store on the previous aft ernoon, and became soloud and obnoxious in his talk that he was ordered out by the proprietor.
