PATRIOTIC PA
RADE OF THOUS
ANDS IN OMAHA
America's Song of Songs and Old
Glory Thrilled Thousands In
the Metropolis.
ALL BUSINESS HALTS
DURING THE PROCESSION
Omaha, June 16. One of the great
est parades in the history of this city
took place yesterday, Flag day, and
the Star Spangled Banner waved from
every house-top.
"My Country! Tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty,
Of Thee I sing:"
From the throats of the greatest
multitude of people ever assembled in
the streets of Omaha, these thrilling
words of America's song of songs
swelled to the sparkling blue skies as
the gigantic Flag day parade swung
swiftly into history yesterday after
noon.
For two long and intensely patri
otic hours the principal thorough
fares of the business section of Omaha
became vast canyons filled with dan
cing, fluttering flags of the United
States streaming swiftly oriward to
the lilt of music that has carried
Uncle Sam's children to victory on
many a bloody field of battle and to
an ever-lasting pride in the land of
the free and the home of the brave.
It was something more than a Flag
day parade, this remarkable, demon
stration of yesterday, for in these
fierce and lowering times abroad the
inborn spirit of true Americans would
seem to have been smouldering be
neath the surface of a careful doubt,
only to bud and blossom in one tre
mendous, colorful burst of fervor, the
like of which had never been seen
here before.
There was nothing of the jingo in
the Omaha patriotic parade and yet
it appeared that the- souls of many
men and women and children had
been hungering in silence for these
scenes and songs. The good citizens
who marched and the throng which
choked the streets were living and
breathing and half sobbing the senti
ments that had been imprisoned in
their bosomss .for -a long:,, long -time.
There were cheers in wonderful vol
ume, and there were tears, too! Old
Glory had come back into its own!
A. 0. U. W. OF THIS CITY
OBSERVES THIRTIETH ANNI
VERSARY SATURDAY NIGHT
From Tuesday's Dally.
The A. O. U. W. of this city en
joyed a very pleasant time in observ
ing the thirtieth anniversary of the
order in the state of Nebraska last
Saturday evening at the hall on Chi
cago avenue, in which the members
of the order and their families joined
in the very pleasant occasion. The
meeting was a joint one of the four
lodges and was filled with marked
enthusiasm from start to finish.
Harry Johnson, one of the old-time
members of Xo. 8, presided over the
gathering as chairman, and in a few
well chosen words introduced Mayor
John P. Sattler, who spoke of the city
of Plattsmouth as a garden spot of
the state and welcomed to the city
Grand Foreman Frank G. Simmons
of Seward, as the representative of
the grand lodge of the state.
Mr. Simmons spoke on "Fraternity"
and illustrated its magnificence with
a description of the great column of
elect! icity at the world's fair at Chi
cago, it having Edison's name blazing
on all four sides at the top, and sud
denly the whole column sprang into
light with a row at a time, and so
it was with fraternal orders, with
Upjohn Church at the top of the col
umn like Edison, the wizard of elec
tricity. He then told of the great
work done by the order, having paid
out for death losses and otherwise
812,000,000, almost as much as the
entire valuation of Cass county.
D. C. Morgan gave a short address
on the good of the order and in his
remarks bore out the statements of
the grand foreman as to the work of
the A: O. U. W. Following a short
reading by E. F. Grybsky, which was
very much enjoyed, the guests were
treated to a splendid two-course
luncheon by. the young men of the
order, and this came as the climax
of a very pleasant evening. During
the evening a large number of mem
bers and their wives were entertained
very pleasantly at cards.
Philip H. Meisinger, Jr., residing
west of Mynard, droe to this city
this morning to attend to some busi
ness' matters, and was a pleasant
cailer at this office. - ,
THE CELEBRATED LUXUS
TEAM HERE SUNDAY
From Tuesday's Dally.
The redoutable Luxus baseball team
of Omaha will be here next Sunday
afternoon to take on the Red Sox of
this city and the occasion is one that
has long been looked forward to with
the greatest of pleasure by the fans
as it will give the locals a chance to
line up with one of the teams that is
supposed to represent the fastest line
of baseball in the metropolis. The
team will put the Sox on their mettle
to see what they can do with the
champion amateur baseball team of
Omaha and a record-breaking crowd
is looked for. Those who have seen
both teams in action are of the opin
ion that the locals will be able to give
a good account of themselves in the
contest and if they play the class of
ball they are capable of should prove
a winner over the Omaha organiza
tion. RAISES FINE STRAWBERRIES
From Tuesday's Dally.
Attorney A. L. Tidd presented the
Journal publisher with a box of fine
strawberries Saturday that he raised
himself and it is apparent from the
lucius fruit that Mr. Tidd is as good
in this line as in the legal profession
and should he ever give up the law
he ought to take up fruit raising.
NARROW ESCAPE
FROM A GENUINE FIRST
CLASS BLAZE
From Wednesday's Dally.
The home of County Treasurer W.
K. Fox came near being made the
scene of a very serious fire yesterday
morning and but for the fortunate
fact that the young lad who delivers
milk, Paul Winscot, was able to de
tect the odor of burning wood, the
entire building must certainly have
been destroyed. Mr. and Mrs. Fox
had departed on the early Durlington
train yesterday morning for Omaha
and in the hurry to leave the house
an electric iron that had been in use
was left sitting on the ironing board
with the current turnsd on. Shortly
after this the boy who delivers the
milk called at the Fox home and while
knocking at the door detected the
odor of burning rags and wood, and
glancing through the window was
surprised to see the ironing board
smoldering away while a portion of
the charred board had fallen to the
floor and burned a hole in the rug on
the floor in very bad shape. The boy
at once called .Mr. M. E. Manspeaker
from the livery barn and they got
busy and secured entrance to the
house and put the fire out before it
could do any further damage. It was"
certainly a most fortunate occurrence
that the boy visited the Fox home at
the time he did or there would have
been a very serious fire resulted.
BAD, SIR
The drooping of leaves of plants,
behind closed windows, in winter, is
a sign of bad air, which destructively
affects the delicate organism of the
plants. The impure air also affects
the people living in such badly venti
lated rooms and they become pale,
tired and cross, their stomach and
bowels are out of order. This condi
tion demands immediate attention.
The first thing to do is to get plenty
of fresh air and to use at once Trin
er's American Elixir of Bitter Wine
in order to clean out the bowels. This
reliable remedy will restore the appe
tite and improve digestion, the circu
lation of blood will be stimulated and
the body will regain strength, health
and energy. Price 1.00. At drug
stores. Jos. Triner, Manufacturing
Chemist, 1333-1339 S. Ashland Ave.,
Chicago, 111.
If you have pain in the joints,
shoulders or legs, whether rheumatic
or neuralgic, apply hot flannels over
the painful area, and then rub Trin
er's Liniment well into the skin.
Price, 25 and 50 cents; postpaid, 35
and 60 cents.
WOODMAN CIRCLE
HOLDS MEETING
From Wednesdays Dally.
The Woodman Circle met last even
ing in a most interesting session at
the rooms in the Modern Woodman

of the meeting was the initiation of
two new members into the order.

ably in the discussion of the business
of the lodge and the ladies felt well
pleased at, the advancement shown by
their order in the city in the past few
months.

THE MIDGET WED
DING AT THE PRES
BYTERIAN CHURCH
One of the most enjoyable enter
tainments that has been given in this
city in a long time was that which
was held last evening at the First
Presbyterian church when the "Tom
Thumb Wedding" was given by a
large number of the little folks of the
city, ranging in age from 3 to 5, and
to those attending the occasion will
long be very pleasantly remembered
as one of the rarest pleasure.
The members of the wedding party
numbered in the neighborhood of
seventy of the little folks and every
one looked very sweet and winsome
as they were seated to await the com
ing of the bridal couple and attend
ants. The little misses taking part
were attired in a most fitting manner
with dainty wedding dresses, and the
bride, Jane Fricke, made a most
charming picture in her white bridal
dress with long, flowing veil. The
boys were all attired in the regulation
evening dress suits and bore their
parts with dignity. The part of the
groom was taken by Bobbie Living
ston with much effectiveness and dig
nity and he was assisted by Charles
Jay as the best man, who was a very
clever appearing little man. The
father of the bride was Paul Grass
man, who greatly appreciated the
dignity of his position, while the part
of the mother was taken by Gretchen
Warner in a most charming manner.
Little Miss Edith Craig was selected
as maid or honor and looked very
sweet in her costume. The wedding
ceremony was performed by Norris
Cummins, who made a most pleasing
minister, and Margaret Baurcr took
the part of the minister's wife. The
two little ushers, Chris Bulin and Lin
ville Wiles, were two of the most
pleasing members of the . wedding
party.
Taken as a whole, the entertain
ment was of the rarest enjoyment and
those in attendance felt well repaid
for their presence. The wedding was
given under the auspices of the Q. Z
society of the Presbyterian church.

THE PAVING ON THE
STREETS IS PRO
GRESSING NICELY
The operations on the new street
paving on Third, Fourth and Fifth
streets are progressing as rapidly as
possible, with the frequent rains of
the last Sew days to interfere with
the preliminary stages of the work.
Contractor J. II. McMaken has the
paving brick on the ground, all ready
to be put down as soon as the grading
can be completed to put the street at
the proper depth for the laying of
the pavement. The curbing on Third
street has been put in, and that on
Fourth street will be started at once
in order that iJiere will not be any
unnecessary delay in the work. On
Third street the paving will extend
south " past the Western Machine
Foundry company building, which will
be one of the biggest improvements
made in that section of the city and
one that will add greatly to the value
of property in that section of the city
On Fourth and Fifth streets the pav
ing will only extend back to the alley
way, but will do away with a great
nuisance in the way of mudholes
which have formed after every rain
on these streets. A large number of
men are employed on the paving work
and they are all "hopping to it" in
fine shape.
NEBRASKA PROGRESS
IVES SEEM TO BE DO
ING SOME THINKING
Lincoln, Neb.. June 14. Lincoln
progressives do not take so kindly to
the suggestion of republican papers
in Nebraska to return to the camp.
One of the most prominent mem
bers of the party in. this state said
upon his return from Chicago today:
"The small coterie of fellows who
seemed to be running the republican
convention proposed to show our
crowd where to head in and they cer
trainly did. Now, just howmany will
head in is another question; a good
many will and a goodly number will
not.
"I have always affiliated with the
republican party, but never have be
lieved very much of the hot air talk
about the country going to the dogs
if the other fellow is elected, and I
imagine there arp hundreds of thou
sands-of former republicans in the
progressive party who feel the same
way I do."

THE PARKING ALONG
THE STREETS IS
PROGRESSING
The parkings along the streets
which are being added to each year
are being looked after in fine shape
by members of the park commission,
who are seeing that obstructions
along the streets in the shape of
weeds and the like are being kept
down, as well as having the trees
trimmed up. The work is being
looked after by C. C. Despain and he
is busy all the time looking after this
part of the plan, for making a city
beautiful. There is nothing that adds
more to the appearance of a street
than a neat and attractive appearing
parking, and this city is forging to
the front in this direction, and the
citizens are taking a greater pride in
the appearances of the surroundings
of their homes, all of which tends to
boost along the plans for a city beau
tiful. " Many ills come from impure blood.
