Trans Mississippi Ex position at Omaha the largest number of animals ever gathered together for show purposes at any one time in the United States The quality also is exceptionally fine Tn this respect even the wonderful display of the Worlds Fair is entirely out classed Almost all of the exhibitors are owners of large stock farms and the entries they have made are the pick of their pets

variety shown by S A Converse J W Martin and McElvey Son There area few exhibits from Canada in sheep and swine that are somewhat different from the varieties that aie so commor with exhibitors from

twelve varieties of cattle on exhibit The display of Ilerefords is especially line comprising nearly 200 head mostly of a very high grade The ex cellence of the display of Herefords is due to two

this breed All the principal show herds are lepresented and nearly every breeder of prominence In addition large numbers of Holsteins Jerseys and Shorthorns are shown Fine specimens of the Poland

Mr McKinley and Party Arrive in the Exposition City and Are Greeted by an Enormous Crowd Tlie Trir Through Western States Two hundred thousand citizens of the transmissouri region welcomed President McKinley to the Omaha peace jubilee The enthusiasm of the greeting was wor thy of the great West and the President of the republic President McKinley was profoundly impressed with the magnitude of the demonstration He said as much in words and more in actions for he made no effort to conceal his pleasure From the time the special bearing the distinguished guest passed into the city until the Presi denf entered his quarters for repose an hour later he received a continual ovation All ideas of confining the delighted peo ple to the curbstones was abandoned be fore the presidential party entered and as it proceeded through the streets in ve hicles the acclaiming multitude touched the very wheels of the carriages and good naturedly elbowed for room in which to raise and wave flags and other emblems of a national nature It was a few minutes past 9 oclock when the lieadlight of the presidential spe cial glistened on the great bridge separat ing Nebraska and Iowa The thousands surrounding the station greeted the ap pearance of the locomotive with shouts prolonged The steam whistles and bells of the city took up the acclaim and for a few minutes the whole city resounded with a perfect medley of discordant sounds President McKinley was ready to alight almost as the train came to a halt and before the platoon of police could press back the crowd which closed around the presidential special The members of the reception committee boarded the train in Council Bluffs and to them the Presi dent remarked upon the ease of the jour ney adding Such a welcome would make any one forget the fatigue of a thousand such journeys Second Train Arrives Scarcely had greetings been exchanged when the army and navy special arrived The two trains had crossed the State practically as two sections running the last 100 miles almost in sight of each oth er As the occupants of the two trains mingled on the platform the reception committee assigned the visitors to car riages and the procession moved toward the center of the city President McKin ley Mayor Frank E Moores of Omaha and President Wattles of the exposition occupied the front carriages and others spread out for a distance of several hun dred yards King and 500 of his knights composing the secret enter tainment organization of Omaha acted as escorts to the President They formed a cavalcade that added much to the beauty of the procession The knights formed into platoons as outriders escorting each carriage in fours Thus the procession passed north on Tenth street to Farnain and west on Far nam to the city hall where the distin guished guests alighted to witness the fes tivities of the evening Every turn of the wheels gave the President new surprises as to the magnitude and enthusiasm of Omahas peace jubilee crowd The caval cade only tried to keep the jubilant crowds back six feet from the carriages of the chief executive and his party but even this was futile and the vehicles were im peded in their progress by the weight of human bodies When the army chiefs vehicle passed the shouts and wild ac claim of the crowd was scarcely less than that with which the President was greet ed CROWDS ALONG THE WAY Ovation Given the President by Peo ple of Illinois and Iowa Wherever the presidential train stopped In Illinois and Iowa the demonstrations were enthusiastic beyond precedent At the stations through which the trains rushed at full speed the enthusiasm was not less evident but the people were com pelled to content themselves with a cheer and were rewarded by a wave of the hand The presidential train arrived in Chi cago about 7 oclock in the morning ovei the Pennsylvania road and was swung around to the Chicago and Northwestern by the belt line The engine which pulled the presidential train out of Chicago was one of the most powerful ever made and was bedecked with flags and bunting un til it looked like a triumphal car The Presidents journey through Illi nois and Iowa was a continuous ovation The first stop was made at Dekalb and here the President spoke a few words in response to the crowds enthusiastic wel come At Clinton Iowa a great crowd wns at the station when President Mc Kinleys train rolled in Senator Allison joined the presidential party here The President appeared on the rear platform and was received with tremendous cheers The President left the train for the first time at
