Coronado In Quivera" to Be
Mot Klalorate Spectacle
of Kiml Ever Presented
in Omaha.
Omaha it promised an enifruirv
iv.rnt and l-.ilonrl trut in the prc
rnution ol the Alc-Sar-Hfn pageant
"Coronado in Quivers." uhich will
h offrtrd the evening! ol September
IH and 19 at the Ak-Sar-Hen expou-
tiun itroumli. I his will le the mo!
elaborate and beautiful pageant ever
presented n Omaha, according to
the promoters.
The lir.t evening: of the pageant
will depict the departure o( the army
of t oronatlo from the ainre rmnen
and ahamloned village of I'ueblo of
Prroi, .10 milrs east of Santa Ke.
Thia piirblo a the l.irgtt in New
Mexico at the time of the conquest.
The rulrr, hearing of the prowe of
, the Spaniard, thought dissimulation
better than remittance. Accorouigiy,
with crrat allow of friendhip, he in
vited Coronado to hii town; there
the Spaniard were fcaiied and there
thev were told tales of the goldrn
land of Ouivera, far to the east. The
device wa one used by Indiana in
North and South America to get rid
uf unwelcome rucsu.
Spaniards Take Bait
At Vrca there were two plain In
diana known a "The Turk," and
Yopete, who inflamed the imagina
tion of the Spaniards by displaying
gold trinket and relating talcs 01
the wonderful land of (Juivera. The
Spaniards, full of credulity, took the
bait and net forth. Ilricfly, that is
the plot of the pageant for the first
tvening.
Vfhe rene. 31K1 feet across the
front and 30 foet high, will represent
the l'licblo of Prcos, flanked on
ctiher side by the Spanish camp and
camp of tepees representing visit
ing Indians from the great plains.
There will be an Indian dance, typi
fying the native life of the red men.
. There will be gorgeous dances of en
tertainment, Spaniard and Indian
vying with the other in the splendor
of the scene.
Opens With Dance.
- The second evening of the pageant
will represent the army of Coronado
in the Missouri valley, in the fabu
lous realm of Quivera. The pageant
again opens with an Indian dance,
followed by an imaginative repre
sentation of Tatarrax and his peo
ple, not as actuality was to disclose
them, but as visioncd in the dreams
of the Spaniards.
The scene will represent the danc
ing women of Quivera, waving boughs
from the fabled tree with its pendul
ous bells of silver and gold. It will
show the ornate symbolled barge of
the monarch, bearing Tatarrax,
"monarch of dreams," and his
prophet, who will foretell the near
' approach of the new order of things.
Then it will fade, as a dream fades,
and in the distance the army of Cor
onado will be seen approaching.
Burning of Village.
The bur.ning of a village, alter a
brief combat, will be emblematic of
the journey. The Spaniards will en
ter, led by "The Turk.',' Then will
follow the drama of the revealment,
when Coronado and his followers dis
covered that they have been deliber
ately misled, the purpose of their
leader being to see them perish in
the wilds. For this treachery "The
Turk" is executed, ere the disil
lusioned Spaniards turn back on their
course.
The pageant closes with the vision
of the future as foreseen by Coronado,
in a kvid of apocalypse. Trappers
and traders pass in review, with their
packs and dogs and ponies; then the
cowboy days and the farming set
tlers with ox teams , and prairie
schooners. The Indian wars re
indicated by soldiers and India.n
warriors. A chorus, "Hail to the
City," greets a symbolic representa
tion of the city of Omaha, "The
' Gate to the Prairies."
Kind of Realization.
Coronado's quest was a disappoint
ment in its actual Tatarrax, but if it
lis viewed as a quest of the ideal
through the centuries, it is coming
to a kind of realization in such
pageant fostering organizations as
Ak-Sar-Ben itself, with King Ak-Sar-Bcn
as the monarch of the new
dynasty. The pageant, therefore,
will show, before the grand finale,
the emissaries of this new "mon
arch of dreams," come to receive
their commissions from,, the past,

"You had plenty of fun out of it.

"I guess I did," answered the
negro.
"If you were in my place how
much would you fine yourself?" he
was asked.
"About $5. 1 guess, judge."
"Good enough, Hob. Just pay the
station sergeant the five, add a dol
lar for costs and you may then be
rele'ascd," was the final decree of the
court.

To the DRY VOTERS
Of Nebraska
The voters, who believe in the perpetuation and en
forcement of prohibition should support candidates, who
are not only promising enforcement, but who by their
record of performances have demonstrated that they are
heart and soul for prohibition.
Such a candidate is Attorney General Clarence A.
Davis, candidate for United States Senator.
During the past four years Mr. Davis has borne a
large 'share of the burden of prohibition enforcement in
this state; he has successfully prosecuted more than two
thousand prohibition cases.
He drafted the present prohibition law of Nebraska,
increasing penalties for law violators, urged its passage
through the legislature and successfully defended it from
attack in the courts.
He has removed sheriffs, county attorneys, police
magistrates and other local officials, who were not en
forcing prohibition. He has stood steadfastly for law
enforcement and clean government. He is the only can
didate who has actually gone into the courts of Nebraska
and fought and won for the cause of Prohibition, Clean
Business and Law Enforcement.
Prohibition enforcement can never succeed unless dry
voters steadfastly support with all their energy those pub
lic officers, who fight for prohibition.
As a candidate for United States Senator Mr. Davis
opposes any amendment weakening the Volstead Act.
He favors adequate appropriations to make federal law
enforcement possible. .His wide experience as a law
enforcement officer will be a factor in the drafting of
further legislation to make prohibition effective. ,
. Knowing Mr. Davis to be dry, not only by political
promise but by personal habit and official record, know
ing his splendid service to the people of this state for four
years, we urge all dry voters to unite in the support of
Clarence A. Davis for United State Senator.
