thought to have boon thn product of u par

CITV , Mo. , Aug. 13. The city coun
cil hns passed nn ordinance which the mayor
stgnca today , appropriating a goodly sum for
the Illumination of tlio city during the
Knights of Pythias encampment. The
Priests of Pallas Illuminating plant has boon
offered to the city , and the illuminations
promise to bo very flno. The principal busi
ness streets will bo decorated with arches of
Incandescent lletits and trees nnd nrchos of
gns lights. Everything Is progrosMng rapidly
to a close nnd by next Saturday the prepara
tions will nil bo completed.
TLo committee on accommodations has al
ready secured lodctng for n larger number
than are cxpeetod , nnd the wont continues
every day.
The commlttco on program will soon bo
rcndy to multo n report. The tnombers of the
supreme lodco are to bo In session In Scottish
Kite hull every day for two weens nnd pro
visions for their onturtatnnnnt will not bo

The PythLin Slstors nro making elaborate )
preparations for the otitcrtahiinont uf lady
visitors to tha encampment , but tbo commit
tea has not yet decided to Include their plans
in the ofllclal program of the encampment.
Very llttlo work remains to bo dor.o nt the
camp to In.vo everything In rondlnoss for the
encampment.
The merchants have agreed to plnco bar
rels contain Ing ice water all along the routoto
bo gene over by the parado. the water to be
supplied to the marching knights by car
riers. The citizens will bo provided with
distinctive badges so that visitors may dis
tinguish them for information should tlioy
require it.
TliomniMls Will Ho Ktitortiitncd.
The last wnok before thu encampment will
bo a busy ono for everybody concerned. The
finishing touches will bo put on all prelimi
naries , and there will bo hurry nnd bustlu
nil along the line to got everything in shape
for the invasion of tbo mighty host. It Is
now certain that the influx of strangers 'to
the city will greatly exceed original esti
mates on account of the great rate war being
waged by the railroads , making it possible to
como to the city from all ever tha countrj
for n ridiculously low faro. With nil our
packing houses and commission houses there
Is no doubt of the city's ability to feed all the
people who can be brought within her gates.
The only question Is where all the people nro
to bo fed.
The committee appointed for the purpose
of Inducing the owners ol tbe various vacant
storerooms to rent them during the encamp
ment ut n reasonable llguro made n favor
able report last night , nnd they bavo been
offered Iho u.o of many vacant storerooms
at n low llu'uro , which can bo utilized by
church societies nrd others for tbo purpose
of serving meals. Several vacailt bulluiuirs
have ulsu been secured. In which cots can bo
placed ana rented at the rate of $1 each per
uizlit.
If the crowd coming to the encampment
should bo lee ble for tbo city to take care of ,
which is doubtful , recourse can bo had to
tbo hospitality of our sister cities , which nro
In close proxirulty. ICnnsns City , Kan. , Wy-
nndotto and Armourdalo are only twenty
minutes distant by cable cars , 'and they
could undoubtedly care for several thousands
of tbo overflow.
ICitllroud Accommodations ,
The oxcosslvo switching charge estab
lished by tha Bolt line hns awakened the
Alton to the necessity of action and It has
mudo arrangement * by which all its passen
gers with tboir baggage will bo landed at
"
the camp ground at"a nominal rate. En
campment passengers on the Alton will bo
unloaded at the Grand nveuuo depot and
will bo transferred directly to Grand avenue
cublo cars and taken out to tno camp.
Trailers will bo attached , to tlio train to
carry baggage.
All tbo professional decorators who made
Denver so handsome during the templar
conclave will pack up oil their effects and
corao to this city Monday , prepared to take
n hand In the Pythian decoraliona. The ad
vent of these rivals is not feared in the
least by local decorators , ns tbev nntlcipato
there will bo plenty uf work for all. Kansas
City Is to bo decorated us she never has been
buforc , and ono prominent decorating firm
announces that areadv ] it has made as many
contracts as itc.iu fulfill.
The work of preparing the camp for the
reception of thn army of knights proceeds
steadily nnd incessantly. Day bv day new
rowa of tents roar their white walls and
penkud roofs In unvarying similitude nnd tbo
question presents itself , it belated Sir
Knights will not occasionally mistakethen -
proper quarters. Some will have straw
ticks to Ilo upon and others will repose in
luxury on cots , so mistakes will bo of llttlo
moment unless intruders pro-ompt the cots.

The notion of the cb'ti/mlssloiiers / of the

reasons in being that Iho price of hogs U

Omaha , notwithstanding the difference in
distance of GOO miles. On the other hand ,
however , a car of packing house product
from Omnha connot bo shipped tJ the At
lantic coast us cheap ns from Chicago , be
cause of thn differential rate , and the dlllor-
cnco in distance is no greater n 5'JO miles
than it is from Cblcaeo to Omnlia. Out an
association commissioner docs not see It In
tliat Ilk-lit , and ngaln the Chicago p.ickors
must have the best of It.
If Omaha could receive the snma benefits
In cnstbound business ns Chicago docs in
westbound by the continuation ot the present
rato.s , the discrimination would not bo KO
glaringly apparent. The South Omaha
packers will keep poirglng nwuy , however ,
nnd ono of thcso days will secure a fair ad
justment of freight rates.
Minneapolis has scored n point for Its
packers and the rate on packing Uouso pro
ducts to that city will bo raised 5 cents.
That town desires to build up nu extensive
packing Industry with nothing In fact to
build it on. Six months of the year tlioy are
compelled lo go lo the Missouri river stocK

thu other six months they rccolvo a small

M. Thurston of this city would soon take the

crctitcil n ripple of surprise nud considerable

Know Mr. Tburston , but the moro credulous
appeared to think there might bo some truth
In it.
it.Mr. . Thurston wns seen by n Ben reporter
last ovonlnir with reforoncc to the rumor. ' 'I
never heard of the tnnltcr until n very fuw
inumto3 ngo , " said Mr. Thurston. "You
wish to know , I suppose , whether or not it Is
truo. I will nnswor vour Inquiry by simply
stntmg tbixt t huvo two dates In the neiir fit-
turo upon which 1 nm to deliver republican

league will meet. I will. If I huvo my health ,
mnko several republican speeches this fall ,
nnd 1 don't expect to maKe any otbor kind.
1 have always boon In the habit or doing my
poht'cnl ' cussingbofor'otho nominations wcro

what I thought It ought to be , and after the

buckle up my bolt n few notclics nnd oat it
quietly nnd In nrlvnto. The success of the
republican party to mo Is of much
greater tmportnnco than the nltnln-
menl of any personal dtsiros cither
of myself or anybody clso. I nm
convinced through nnd through that the
principles of the reoubllcnn party are right
nnd tnat they oucht to triumph , nnd I be-
llovo that they will triumph at tlio coining
election. It seems to mo that wo hnvcAi
vorv fair chnnco to carry Noxv Yorlt , nnd
that will , I think , win the day for the re
publican party. In Nebraska our only
danger Is the possibility that the democrats
may vote for the people's party electors , but
I hardly think thov will ilo that. In a
straight" , threo-cornered fight I believe the
republican ticket In Nebraska will wlu wlln
a t'ond round Majority. "
As the ronortor xv'os taking his lenvo Mr.
Tbuwton suid : "I only hope that the rumor
which Is floating about to the effect that
Judge Gresham Is going to tnko tne stump
