The attention of the Com
mercial club has been called
by Postmaster Palmer to the
desirability of a revision of the
train schedule on the North
western road, so as to be less
discriminating against the busi-
ness interests of Omaha. Oma-
ha is more poorly accommodate
ed by the train schedules of the
railroads radiating from this
point than any other city in it's
class. The railroads would not
hurt themselves any by con-
sulting the convenience of the
business houses here that de-
pend on them for their mails
and reciprocate with their
traffic Bee.

the payment Of a big bill pre-

1t always affords US pleasure
to hear Of the success of any
OF the citizens of Missouri Val
ley. We note the fact, as re-
ported in "The Underwriters
Review" published at Des
Moines, that our former citizen
p. N. Coleman, who once was
the principal Of our city schools
for several years, has been Sc
lected Actuary in the Insurance
Company Of which he has long
been an active member. He
will continue to have the gen.
eral supervision of field work in
the company. He discontinued
teaching and adopted that Of
Insurance, moving to Daven-
port, Iowa, where he makes his
headquarters, where he has, as
his promotion shows, made a
success of his business, and his
course is onward and upward.
AS a school teacher, he stood at
the head Of his profession, and
it was natural that he should be
a success in his new position,
and we congratulate him on the
success of his new profession,
and we hope he may continue
to climb until he has reached
the topmost round of honor in
his business.

Trier Sisters Quintette

Trier Sisters Quintette
Last Saturday evening oc-
cured the last number on the
knights and Ladies of Security
course, which was the Trier
Sisters Quintette of musical
entertainers. A good sized
audience listened to them for
several hours and encored them
repeatedly. Many of their
songs were good, especially
their quartette work, but their
closing number, "The Star
spangled Banner" should never
have been undertaken. AS a
whole, the evening was very
pleasantly spent and we are of
the opinion that all were sat-
isfed.
The course just completed
was an excellent one and we
are glad that the Knights and
Ladies of Security put it on
this winter. While the peonle
did not patronize them as lib
orally as expected, at the same
time, the house was we'll filled
at several different times. Per-
haps the best entertainment on
the course was the Midland
Concert company, who played
here sometime ago. They were
pleasing artists and we should
be more than glad to have them
again. Several of the lectures
were exceedingly good also.
Why not put forth an effort to
give another course next win

AGED WOMAN FELL
 THROUGH WINDOW
Tried to Pass Two Hurrying Pedes- trians on Second Avenue When Her Ankle Turned and She Fell Against Costly Plate
 Glass.

Mrs, Wilson, an aged woman and aunt of Chris Hanley, well known young man of this city, had a mar row escape from being seriously in- jured yesterday afternoon when she fell against a large plate glass show window in the front of Dreyfus' Sec ond avenue dry goods store entrance. The window was shattered to a mi; lion pieces, but luckily, Mrs Wilson did not sustain any cuts or bruises Aside from a bad fright she was un- injured.
 Mrs. Wilson said she was trying to pass two men who were walking rather fast and who apparently did not see her coming toward them. AS she did so, her ankle turned and she fell against the glass, crashing it. Mrs. Wilson fell to the sidewalk in the heap of broken glass, but was lifted to her feet by Clem Farrar and taken into the store. She WAS not hurt and soon left the place. The furs and other costly articles dis played in the window had to be re- moved until new plate glass is put In. The window is now boarded up.
