PLANS WILL BE MADE EARLY IN SEASON

Three trade excursions will be planned
for the Commercial club this summer. The
two made last summer were eminently
succ assful. and the trade extensiop COM
mittee, in preparing for this summers
campaign. is much encouraged by the sat
isfaction expressed by the jobbers over
the results of the last one.
Detailed plans for all three excursions
will be made early in the season, and the
jobbers will have to pledge before the
first one their representation and payment
OF their share of the expenses for all three
trips. The main reason for this is that
under the old plan OF arranging for each
trip separately, two weeks hard work
was required Of the chairman of the COM
mittee before each excursion. The new
plan will put the bulk of the work at the
beginning of the summer and make the re-
mainder of It comparatively easy.
Another reason is that some OF the Job
bers become tired and do not go on the
last trip unless pledged TO 10 so. The
third trip of last summer, planned for
northern Kansas and eastern Colorado, fell
through on account of the indifference OF
the jobbcrs, or rather, they had planned

City extension of the Great Northern is
talked Of. a stop will be made at each
town and the jobbers will make the ac-
quaintance of the merchants.
None of these plans has been definitely
decided upon by the committee, for it has
not yet been called together for this sum
mer's work, but the talk of the members
of the committee indicates that such a
schedule will be carried out. 1t is the
schedule which Chairman Yetter will rec
ommend to the committee.
Mr. Yetter says it would be good plan
to run a trade excursion over the North
western road to Shoshone, in Wyoming,
when the extension to that place is COM
pleted. All Wyoming is naturally Omaha s
trade territory, he says. and the jobbers
ought not to slight any of their opportuni-
ties.in that state.

Reversal of Form.

KANSAS CITY. Mo. Feb. 23.-(Special
Telegram THE Kansas City athletics
showed a surprising reversal of form to-
night, defeating the basket ball team from
the University of Nebraska 49 TO lS. IL
was the most decisive defeat of the year
for the Cornhuskers. Early last month Ne
braska, by a clean-cut defeat on their own
court. started the Kansas City Athletic
club five on the downward road. which Gull
minated last week in three straight defeats
at the hands of the Schenectady team.
The play on both sides tonight was re-
markably clean, not an intentional foul
being made. From the start the Athletics
were I'm the lead and We're never headed. Al
the end of the first half the score was IL 10
In their favor. Tomorrow night the same

Three states to He Visited.
One trip will be made in Kansas, one in
Nebraska and one in Iowa. In former
years Nebraska has been pretty well COW
cred by the club. but there remains a
southeastern group of counties, from Bea-
trice and Lincoln east. and from: Platts-
mouth south, to which Chairman Yetter
says considerable attention ought to be
given. This is territory where the
strongest of competition is shown Omaha
by Kansas City and ST. Joseph. and the
jobbbers feel that they ought to have a
larger share of the trade. \ trip of about
three days will be taken through these
counties on the Burlington.
On this trip 1t probably will be decided
to visit the four southwestern counties in
Iowa, the Burlington and Wabash.
Another excursion viii be over the Rock
Island in northern Kansas the principal
! towns being Belleville, Mankata, Smith
Center, Norton and Colby. This country
never has been canvassed as it should be
nv the Omaha wholesalers, and conse-
quently Kansas City and ST. Joseph have
the biggest part of the trade. There is
no reason why Omaha cannot have its
| share, says Chairman Yetter, for the Rock
Island gives as good service from this city
as any of the roads do from the Missouri
cities. Last years trip to this section
was planned to include a days outing al
Pixies Peak, but the idea is to attend
strictly to business this summer

when Hart had a very small advantage
Burns outfought the bigger man, out
generated him and beat him at every
point in the game of boxing. At times
Burns, although handicapped I'm weight ana
height made Hart look like a novice.
In the opening round Burns was very
nervous and lacked confidence. After this,
however, he quickly sized Hart up and
began a systematic attacE on his face and
body with straight lefts. in the third
round he started the blood flowing from
Harris nose and kept II running In almost
every round thereafter
In the last few rounds, seeing the tide
of the battle going against him. Hart,
urged by his chief second. Tommy Ryan,
tried desperately ia corner his quick witted
opponent and secure a knockout. Every
attempt failed. however, and every round

manner she read as follows:

Hearty congratulations were show

CAPTAIN MULLER
PRAISES INSTITUTE.
westpoint of New Mexico Visited by
Santa Fean-Some Things
He Saw There.


From the New Mexican.
Captain Frederick Muller, receiver
of the United States Land Office in
this city, was in Roswell, recently and
spent about ten days in the thriving
metropolis of the Pecos Valley. He
took several boys ron this city to
the New Mexico Military Institute,
located there, among them one of his
sons. He remained for the length of
time stated above in Roswell in order
to acquaint himself with the condi-
tions and the scope of the military in
stitute.
To a reporter Of the New Mexican
Captain Muller said, hat he was
more than pleased with what he saw
and what he a~scertained at the insti-
tute. The boys are well treated and
receive the same board as do the off
GERS and officials. While matters are
conducted in very strict military fash
ion, the cadets are well looked after
physically and morally, as well as
mentally and the curriculum leaves
nothing to be desired. Colonel Viii
son, the superintendent. is evidently
the right man in the right place and
the faculty consists Of teachers thor
they have to perform and for the
position which they occupy, by edu-
Naturally, this being a military insti-
tute. the military spirit prevails and
everything is conducted upon a mil
itary basis. As far as he saw, there
is but one drawback to the institute
and that is that its accommodations
are not adequate for the number of
cadets that could be mad and should
be a school there. The number could
be easily increased to 300 were build
ing and other accommodations pro
vided. The institute certainly needs
at least another large barrack build
ing to accommodate from eighty to
one hundred cadets in order to keep
those who are now there together
as the sleeping departments are scat
tered; some are on the institute
grounds while a number of the cadets
sleep in a rented building across the
street. The Territory of New Mexico
could well afford to appropriate the
necessary money at the next session
of the assembly for the purpose Of
erecting another large barrack build
ing. The good tina the school is do.
ing is great and should be thoroughly
appreciated by the people. Its affairs
are very carefully and economically
conducted, but new buildings must be
the better will it be for all concern
ed and all interested. in looking over
the list of cadets Captain Muller
said. Il found that they hailed from
thirteen different states, from the
Territories of New Mexico and Ari-
iona, and some from Mexico. During
recent s~ojourn in Mexico, I as
1certained that the institute has a
very good name in the sister Repub-
die, and was thought to be one of the
best educational institutions in the
Southwest. The Santa Fe boys, wno
are there are doing well and are a
hale and hearty lot"
