Omaha again donned Us festal nttlro last owning and rejoiced In honor ot the expo sition Enthusiasm that had been pent up for days uspie'Psly for the occasion burst forth In unrestrained carnival. The bin parade and the ofllclal celebration at Jefferson ' son square xvero only features of the show. Moro Inspiring than all xvas the tremendous ciowd that packed the streets from wall to wall and surged and cheered and oxuberatcd as though each man , woman and child nmonj ; Its swelling thousands reallrcil that the ex position meant bread and butter for them selves and prosperity for Nebraska In the days to come And the big delegation that came ncioss the river to Jubilate with No- brnskans vxtis no less enthusiastic and helped to emphasize the object lesson that the river was no longer a dividing line. Properly speaking It xxns the formal cele bration by the business organizations and cltUcns generally of the passigo of the ex position bill. Dut the occasion took on a bioader scope It developed Into not only a. celebration of what had been done but the expression of nn enthusiastic determina tion to accomplish what still remains to do The lejolcing oxei the successful con summation of the legislation that gave the enterprise its Hist substantial Impetus merged Itself Into an Inspiration of future aehlexemcnts The cry that xvas voiced fiom thousands of throats xxas not "Hurrah for the Bill" It xxas "Hurrah for the Ex position " The transparencies that Illumi nated the marching columiiH bore no mention of the past , but poifrayed Inlxtd letters xvhat Omaha would be In 1898 DAME NATURE KIND. And oven then the Divine blessing was not wanting to cheer Nebraska's hopes. Long before the hour of jollification approached huge banks of black menacing clouds began to mount aboxo the southern horizon. They multiplied and closed In ono compact and threatening mass The air was still with that indefinable quietude that heiulds the coming storm The big croxvds in the streets were dumb with disappointment as nature seemed to bo determined to mar or ruin the hopes that centered on a successful climax to Omahe's rejoicing Slowly the clouds closed over the xxholo sky and a foxv scat tered drops of rain seemed the forecast of a steady downpour. But almost at the very moment when the order to march xxas passed down the columns of the big parade a gor geous rainbow liuist across the block ex panse and rested in benlson on Nebraska soil H vxas. a glorious omen and it xxas ac cepted with ringing cheers that echoed all along the line of march The rain ceased , the clouds retic-ated In confusion , and Omaha proceeded to do honor to the exposition. Last night's celt bration xvas un indica tion of xx hat can be done xvlth a fcxx days' preparation when the right sort of spirit Is 111 evidence While the parade did not pretend to the goigeousness of those of last fall It was more than ereditablo to the city and to the men who haxe xxorked faithfully during the past few davs to or ganise its various elements Moreover , it Indicated the general loyalty of the people to the enterprise , for it was almost entirely composed of volunteers xxho ha/ sponta neously contributed tholr set x ices without the spur of a personal application There was a commendable lepicsentatlon of the various secret and benevolent noddles many of them In unlfoim The labor organ izations wore out 111 force and although no compensation xxas promised exery band in the city turned out to add Inspiration to the occasion The decorations along the line of inarch were general and some very artistic effects xveie Improvised at short notice.
