And it was all a dream. The commissioner was on his road to Ogallala and had gone to sleep early in his berth. Suddenly he heard an awful roar and at once there flashed through his mind thoughts of a twister. He raised the curtain and, seeing a passing train with Its lighted, windows, he Imagined he was seeing lighted houses being rushed past his home in Lincoln! "I was not the least bit scared," said the commissioner, "but my thoughts were perfectly clear, I knew it was a terrible tornado as soon as I heard the roar and so raised the curtain and looked out the window. There I saw a parade of lights rushing by a mile a minute It seemed. I Instantly dropped the curtain and then thought of how to get my wife to the base ment and safety. It came to me that the bnly safe place In the house was In the northeast corner of the basement where the coal was stored. Just then the house rocked and I thougnt It was going over. That changed my thoughts and I wondered if we would be overcome with gas for felt that when the house went over tho gas plots would burst end then I wondered how we would get past the broken electric light wires. But having figured out how to get down into the cellar, I reached over to wake my wife and found 1 was alone in a berth in the car. "The dream was most renllstlo and believe now that In a tornado, I would act Just as I did on the train. I thought of dozens of things In that short space of time and I seemed to have been perfectly calm." What?" 'Yes I did get on the train at Omnha, and It left there at 11 o'clock, but I got In my berth early and did not even know when It pulled out" First Round for Company.

LINCOLN, June 20 (Special.) Some thing of a row Is being kicked up by the local musician's union over the employ ment by the Commercial club of the Heh- roa band for the trade trip that left hero this morning. Thursday last, a committee of the local union appeared before the Jobbers' and manufacturers' section of the club to protest. They re old by Chair man Joyce the hiring ol thr Hebron band was part of an agreement with that town for reciprocal relat-.ons, and that the Lin coln musicians wanted more money than the club could afford to pay. O. F. Thornburg. of the local musicians' union, thus explains the position of his organization: "The Commercial club ex cursion, to boost trade for Lincoln, taken the Hebron band to head them and gives the band $100 for twenty men, six days. This is less than 95 cents per man per day. Can union labor, or any other labor or profession compete with that? "They say It Is a strictly business prop osition with them. Isn't it also a business proposition with the man who buys of the catalogue house and wants quantity in stead pf quality? "The Lincoln Commercial club makes a trip twice a year over the state with a special train and band, to advertise and boost for Lincoln. The business men talk against catalogue houses, and at the same time" they patronize the catalogue house proposition in the band business?, simply because it is cheaper. The great majority of the local musicians earn their living solely by their playing, and they cannot afford to give their service for $1 a day and expenses."
