Kvcrythlng that looked like a dining
room at tho Commercial club was filled
to overflowing last night at the big good

tho dozen smaller dining rooms along tho

one end of tho big dining room to tlio
other. Thfa waa the now members' table.
When all the older members had found
their places tho new members wefo ush
erod In In doublo tile headed by a scat
tered brass band.
It was a night of tun nnd frolic. Uvory
thing that would entertain from song,
dancing and music; to a speech by Colonel
William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) was
staged. Tho popular little booklet ot still
more popular songs was distributed at
tho tables and everyone caught tho spirit
of song.
Not a little of tho amusement ot the
evening was furnished by the "St. Pat
rick's Walters' Union." an army of a
dozen bcwhlskcrcd Paddles who had ap
parently gono on a strike to celebrate
St. Pa'trlck's day. All were dressed In
white Jumpers, and smoked short-cut clay
pipes, tho kind that used to build the
railroads years ago. They carried ban
ners containing every kind ot slogan from

Cabaret and various kinds ot entertain
ment were Jiut on. tho stage built for tho
purposo at tho west end ot tho larger
room. Comic songs and music wero fur
nished here, and even tho "Cowboy Quar
tet" from the Empress entertained with
song and shooting.
Old Scont Tnlks.
Buffalo .Bill, being In Omaha with his
moving picture show, was Invited in to
give a talk. He was roundly cheered by
the crowd. He said he little thought when
first ho roamed tho plains ot Nebraska
as a scout, that eighteen-story buildings
wodld soon rlso on the west bank ot the
Missouri rhci I'm reWewed some of the
Indian fights in which he participated,
and spoke ot the great advantage In
Omaba'a location commercially. He pre
dicted that the great granaries ot tho
northwest ahd the great cattle country
of the northwest would pour Its products
Into Omaha for years, until Omaha would
be as large as Chicago,
But even Buffalo Bill could not mo-
nopollxe the evening for a bunch ot boost-
iri v.io are out fiT an eenlng of good
time Tu a motiifnt a hundred green
balloons wjnre liberated In the room.
"When do you commence rhootln' 'cm?"
shouted Buffalo Bill.
"Hang," went ono on someone's head,
and pepping became general at once. Col
onel Cody Joined the rest In breaking tho
balloons. With the little flagstaff on
which lie was holding an Umerald flag,
ho began to Jab nnd punch at tho balloons
with the same unerring aim that b?
acterlied his shooting In the tented arena
a few years, age, and on the plain!? on the
trail ot Tall Bull a quarter ot a century
ago.
The entertainment was one great cycle
ot Joy, and although It started at 6:30 lit
the evening It did not break up till 10
o'clock.
