True to Its promise and Its well know
liuatllrig ability Chicago came to the ex
position yesterday and made its visit th
biggest , liveliest and most enthusiastic mu
nlclpal celebration In the history of the ci
position. And Incidentally Chicago day wl
be remembered as the date on which th
TrannmlsslHslppl Exposition made good II
promise that It would bo the biggest en
position since the World's fair. Last nlgt
the total attendance paused the record of th
total attendance of the Nashville cxpc
eltlon with several thousands to spare. I
its six months of exlstonco 1,703.328 peopl
pasted through the gates of the Nashvlll
show. At the end of the fourth month th
Omaha record was within 15,000 of tbo tot :
Nashville attendance , and yesterday adde
thin and thousands more. The total al
tendance at the Atlanta exposition , whtc
VOB also a six months' show , was 1,2S7,8G
nnd that at the Midwinter fair was ale
decidedly less than that at Nashville.
The radiant sunshine tnat welcomed tt
reprc entatlves of the Sunny South was pel
tlncntly succeeded by lowering skies ar
damp , misty winds when Chlcag
came to pay her respects to the enl
exposition that has rivaled her own ma ;
veious achievement. It was as nearly a com
terpart of the brand of weather for whU
the Windy City Is famed as nature cou
suggest , and the visitors unpacked the
mackintoshes and umbrellas and felt entire !
nt home. Tha clouds were draped In th ;
slaty sbado of gray that distinguishes tt
heavy canopy of mist that a stiff east wlr
blows up from Lake Michigan. The ra !
drizzled at Intervals , with the same chll
persistence that it falls on Michigan avcnt
on several dajs of the 361 , the southea
wind was damply suggestive of a Jourm
over miles of angry water , and the Chlw
gonna had only to close their eyes at
Imoglno that they could hear tt
muffled pounding ot the Insistent blllov
on the sturdy rlprapplng of the Lake Kron
Theyi hud every reason to feel at homo an
they did. They showed their npprcclatlc
of the cordial sincerity of their wolcon
by simply taking possession of the groum
and lavishing their admiration on the she
ns enthusiastically as though they had ni
had a slightly bigger ono of their own. Thi
had como with the announced Intention
making Chicago day ono of the great even
of the transmlsslsslppl show nnd the a
tnosphcrle Inconveniences of the mornlr
did not prevent them from carrying It In
execution.

various railroads Included some of the mo
notable figures In Chicago cltlzenshl
Many of them were accompanied by the
families and together they formed the bli

They swarmed Into the Illlno
building nil through the morning and kc
the pretty rotunda full of animation ai
pretty costumes. As the cxcurslonls
nhoso trains had been switched directly
the grounds Joined those who came up fro
their down town quarters the pretty n
badges wore conspicuous all over tl
giounda and by 11 o'clock there were enoui
of them to fairly fill the Auditorium ai
Btlll leave a representation In every oth
quarter.
During the afternoon the clouds sea
tcrcd and the drizzling rain of the mor
ing was succeeded by occasional bursts
Eunshlno that were Mggestlvo of real N
braska weather. This gave the visitors :
opportunity to see the show under the me
favorable conditions , and they made t
most of It , They furnished a big crowd
the sham battle , and the Cook county dem
crats were so thoroughly enthused with t
scrappy tactics ot the aboriginal contestar.
that they wanted to colonize them for del
gntcn to the next county convention. T
band concert and the special fireworks dl

the visitors , and then they proceeded

OlllcInU Finally ArrUr.
The official party was belated but In t
<
meantime the crowd was pleasantly cnti
tatncd by the Omaha Concert band and w
not perceptibly restless. The speakcm a
olllclal guests arrived nt 11:30 : and were <
cortcd to the stage by President Wattles a
Mayor Moores and accompanied by ncai
nil the Omaha city officials. After an ear
cst Invocation by Rev. T. J. Mackay , Cha
man William II. Harper of the executl
committee ot the Illlonls commission call
the mooting to order and Introduced Pre
dent Clark U. Carr ot the Illlni
commlalon as the presiding officer. Pre
dent Carr said to his Chicago hearers tb
t1 t- proud as they are of the splendor of th
Imperial city , they were now In the mli
ot that which had made that splendor , t
great northwest. He Introduced Ma ]
Tranlj U. Moores , who welcomed the v
itors In behalf of the city of Omaha ,
declared that every citizen of the west
proud of Chicago. He regards It as the c <
tor , around which the universe revolves a
ti feels a personal Interest In Its trlump
Hut Omaha Is to the transmlsslsal ;
weet what Chicago Is to I
whole country , and ho expressed the I
llcf that when his hearers had Inspec
the magnificent enterprise that they i
hero to vlelt they would bo us proud
Omaha as Omaha U ot Chicago. In cc
elusion he presented Mayor Harrison w
the keys to the city and Invited the v
itors to take the fullest advantage of i
liberties afforded.
In bchulf of the exposition managers
Frraldent Wattles said that the imp Ira t
and ambition of our people to build thl
exposition on the banks ot the Mlssoui
had been received from Chicago's gret
World's Fair , nnd , whllo this was but
shadow of the Ideal , the west Is proud c
ts child and Is glad to welcome Its dli
Llngulshed visitors. Ho referred to the Ir
Lltnata commercial relations that exist be
.ween the Mississippi and Missouri vnl
eys. Chicago U the great clearing bout
for the Immense products ot this fertile tei
rltory. Its business Interests are so closcl
connected with the transmlsslsslppl terrl
tory that It Is practically the great hcai
of the west. He spoke of Its wondcrft
growth and transcendent enterprise an
laid a high tribute to the progressive splr
of its citizens.

In response to thcso eentlments Mayc

extending to Omaha their sympathy an

Referring more particularly to Chlcag
Mayor Harrison said that on most occasloi
a Chlcagoan could not toll the truth nboi
Ills city without being accused of exaggen
tlon. The truth about Chicago seemed M
an extravagant dream to the citizen ot Ne
York , or Boston or Philadelphia. But Omal
can understand Chicago. Her people had tl
same Inherent spirit and the same pluc
and enterprise had made each city what
Is. In conclusion , ho declared that not on :
on this occasion , but In every achlevemei
ot Its future. Omaha commands all the syn

that Chicago has to give.

"Chicago and Its Relation to the Weal
was the subject of an able address 1
Charles O. Dawes , ex-congressman and a
slstant comptroller of the currency of tl
United States. After an enthusiastic hat
clapping had greeted his Introduction , M
Dawcs said :

minds the great Chicago , the city of the

cntlon night and day during the week and
vhrn the first clues and description of Mrs.
Gullford were given him by a reporter bo

The cabman who convoyed Mrs. Oullford
rom the Midland hotel , Qullford street ,

vcs and from him It was learned that his

'Wo had no Idea that anything was

reporter accost her nt Liverpool. She re
mained much alone on the trip , but once
when a woman was taken 111 sbo suddenly
appeared with a full layout of medlclno
bottles , administered to , the woman t&uA
cured her. No one even knew her name ,
however , and while tny mother conversed
with her more than any ono else , Mrs.
Wilbur was reticent oven with her , On tho.
way to London she busied herself taking
nil sorts of letters from her val'sa ' and
even linen collars and artlclra of thit kind
and cutting them to hits with sharp scis
sors threw them out of tbo window. "
Inspector Kroest said tonight she Is nng
of the coolest criminals lie ever mot. She

PANA , III. , Oct. 1. The striking union
miners returned hero today from Tower Hill
after their exciting experiences In forcibly
turning back the Indiana negroes Imported
by the mine operators to break the coal
strike here. The miners' guns were boxed
tp and smuggled Into town In wagons filled
with hay. Largo crow da congregated on the
streets of Pann , but they were orderly.
Not a negro appeared In the city and the
quietness was only broken by the cheers
accorded the soldiers as they marched
through the streets. Last night Sheriff
Coburn requested the mllltla commander ,
Captain Craig , to go to Tower Hill nnd ar
rest the union miners there , who hod cap
tured the negroes and release the latter.
Craig flatly refused to do BO , eaylng ho was
only hero to protect the lives of citizens
end property. Ho was not hero for the pur
pose of obeying the sheriff's Instructions or
orders. His orders were from Governor
Tanner and that there would bo no foolish
ness In the matter. The mllltla are patron
izing only the union butchers , bakers and
merchants.
Owing to the heavy rain , which has been
Incessant slnco the state troops wont Into
camp hero , the troops left the camp this
afternoon and are now quartered in the
Haywood opera house , where ttioy will ro-
maln during their stay here.
Captain Craig has given out orders for
the closing of all saloons until further no
tice. Lieutenant F. C. Henry of Battery
H said today "Wo will put on a provost
guard of fifty men thla-evenlng , which will
bo continued indefinitely I will have
charge ot the guard. Wo will make a
searching Investigation as to the location ot
the state's guns which nrn said to be In
the hands of blacks , placed there by the
sheriff , nnd wo will take them In charge"
Six members of Battery B , who for some
cause failed to make the train at Galesburg
Thursday night , were arrested nnd brought
hero to camp today by a deputy sheriff.
