PLEASANT DINNER AT THE OMAHA CLUB rrninliiriit People from Ilie Umpire JIiiJoj- Function 13\ionl- | tlon ConifN In for ln ( S of 1'rnlNC. "Here Is to our distinguished guests ; It Is Rood that they ore hero. Hero Is to their families and their trends ; may they live long and prosper. " To the music of tinkling , clinking glafisos find In sparkling ambrosial champagne or pure limpid water a hundred or more of natlvo New Yorkers , gathered together In reunion from the Umpire state of the coun try and the Date City of the west , responded to thin tease proposed by the venerable Judge EleazcrVukcloyi und In sucli friendly , fra- < ernal fashion brought to a close the banquet that was tendered by the Now York State club of this city to the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew and the parfy of distinguished New York citizens who accompanied him to the Transmlsslsslppl Exposition to take part In the celebration of New York day. Itarcly In the history of the Imposition city has such n gathering como together as was assembled about the boards la the Bumptuous dining rooms of the Omaha club on this occasion. The committee In charge seemed to bavo delved Into depths of the wealthy , social , political , professional , com mercial circles of the city to extract the Bold from each , for the assemblage was widely reprcscnlutlvo and Included the best Omaha citizens. The- most prominent men claimed the Empire state as a birthplace and the honor of a scat at the banquet table with the distinguished visitors to the Ant'elopo Etatc. The entertainment was In keeping with the character of the guests. Amid the soft ) music of an excellent stringed orchestra , rich viands and rare wines wcro offered for their delectation. And as a contrast Co the Bumptuousness of the affair the guests wcro yet reminded that they were not far distant from a savage past. In front of each plate nnd'ln t'ho bed of roses that filled the center of the table was planted n miniature Indian tepee. Hand painted , with realistic rude hieroglyphics upon Its sides and with oven the poles protruding from the top , this tiny tepco silently told the tnlo of the rise and growth of Omaha. It was the menu card , for within and underneath the flap was dis closed the program of the feast. In addi tion tt > this an appropriate and interesting couvenlr was presented to each guest In the shape of a copy of Oo-Mah-IIa Ta-Wa-Tha , n tiny publication by Fannie Heed Glffen , a Nebraska woman , and illustrated by Busotto La Fiescho Tibbies , "Bright Eyes , " nn Indian woman. This llvtlo book told In words the history that the miniature tepee ( silently related. Depew the fiiit'Ht of Honor. Hon. Chauncey M. Depew was the guest Of the evening. Ho sat to the right hand of the toastmaster of the evening , E. M. Ilartlett , and the rest of the visiting Now Yorkers sat near the head of the table. To the right of Sir. Depow were Senator War ner Miller and Captain J. M. Ilrlnker , pres ident of the Panamerlcaii congress , Francis 1J. Thurbcr and Major Crelghton Webb were on the inoro Immediate left of the toastmas ter. Of the other visiting Now Yorkers pres ent were : F. C. Lautz and R. C. Hicl , re spectively treasurer and secretary of the 1'anamerlcan congress , E. W. Curtis , Jr. , Judge Metcalf , nil of Buffalo ; Charles A. Schlerrcn , ex-mayor of Brooklyn ; Francis 11.

Dougherty , Daniel T. Wade , S. G. Graff , S. C. Mead , AV. R. Corwln. It was 7 o'clock when the guests took their seats about the tables and It was a full two hours Inter when Toastmaster IJartlett sum moned the gathering to order and Introduced the first speaker of the evening. The post prandial section of the evening was ap parently as much to the liking of the guests as the moro substantial portion that preceded - ceded it. The speakers wcro listened to with attention and were rewarded with hearty applause. Especial honor was done to Mr. Depow In that all rose when he was Introduced by Chairman Bartlett as a "man who , although the people consider all cor porations and men connected with them soulless , yet rests secure In the hearts and nffectlons of the entire country. " In re- eponso to his toast Mr. Depow eald in part , uftor Indulging In his usual after dinner pleasantries : "Tho first time that I met Nebraska was In 1888 when I attended the republican na tional convention. Now York had carried mete to this session as Its unanimous choice for the presidency. It was a fact well known that no nomination could bo inado In view of the peculiar situation without New York und Now York seemed to have an excellent ohanco to capture the nomination. But the Granger states looked with acute hyskvles upon my connection with a monopoly. TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA , To finln Flf h , to Sleep Well , to KIUMT Wliut Appetite ami Goiit Menu , Make u Vent of Stuurt'H Tahletn. Intcre tIiiK Experience of nn Iiullan- niiollu Uentleniiin. No trouble is moro common or moro mis understood than nervous dyspepsia. People ple having it think that their nerves ore to bTame , are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicines nnd spring rem edies ; tbo real scat of mischief is lest sight of ; the stomach Is tbo origin to bo looked after. Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever In the stomach , nor per haps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows Itself not In the stomach so much ns In nearly every other organ ; in some capes the heart palpitates and Is Irregular ; In others , the Itldnoys are affected ; In others the bowels u ro constipated , with headaches ; still others are trouble with loss of tlesh and appetite , with the accumulation of gas , hour risings and heartburn. Mr. A. W. Sharper of No. 01 Prospect St. , Indianapolis , Ind. , writes as follows. "A motive of pure gratitude prompts mo to write these few lines regarding the now and valuable medicine , Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- lots. I have been a sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for the last four years ; have used various patent medicines and other remedies without any favorable result. They some- tlnirit gave temporary relief until the effect ) of tbo medicine wore off. I attributed this to my sedentary habits , being n bookkeeper with little physical exercise , but I am glad to state that the tablets have overcome all thMo obstacles , for I have gained in llesb , Bleep better , nnd am better In every way. The above U written not for notoriety , but te biued on actual facts. " Kespcctfully yours , A. W. Sharper. 61 Prospect St , Indianapolis , Ind. It Is safe to say that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any stomach weakness 01 disease except cancer of the stomach.

Finally the Nebraska delegation came tome mo nnd told me that I would be elected , but gald that If I was Nebraska would certainly become popullstic or democratic. They stated that If I was not elected , Nebraska would be republican for a hundred years. I enld that If Nebraska would bo republican for that length of time I would retire. So I retired and Nebraska has voted all sorts of politics since then. Probably If I had re mained In the race It would hove been re publican yet. "Two years ago 1 passed through Ne braska. Then every face glowered and the people wrro angry. They said they could not live , could not sell their produce. Why ? llccauso of the oppression of the railroads , they said. Two years have passid and how great is the difference ! There has been a resurrection. Why ? The railroads aio nu better nor no worse than they were then. They are Just ns bad , Just as oppressive. Why Is It ? llecausc It Is In human nature to use its energies to solve Ita problems , and that Is what Nebraska has done. It has set to work and redeemed Itself. What It needs now is more universities , moro col leges. The tlmo Is passed when a man can get along by the rule of the thumb. Thirty years ago , for example , almost every railroad man graduated from the track. These days are no more. With our tech nical schools and colleges no man without a technical education can compete with the man who has It. It Is the same with the merchant , with the farmer. Thcro will ho seasons of failure In crops until the colleges teach the farmer how to do his work ; then the places that can bo made Into ranges will bo ranges and the places that can bo used to ralso corn -will ralso corn. Them Nebraska will bo what Nebraska should be. "Wo of New York did not come here with any great expectations and wo have been astonished. I have seen two great things the Ak-Sar-13cn ball and the exposition. The ball differed In no way from a ball In Bos ton or Now York or any center of culture. That suffices for the ball , but the transform ation of that old barn-like structure in which It occurred Impressed me. lly means of electric lights and bunting it was changed into a palace of delight. It was an exem plification of that distinctively American trait and feature that win transform with few cheap prints the little cottage Into a poem that will outrank the most sumptu ous palace where thcro Is nothing but money. "Tho exposition Is a marvel. No more cauttful combination of utility and art as ever been created In the world. Ono aturo of It can never be repeated. That the living Illustration of the civilization hat Is dying and dead. As I looked upon lose Indians nnd comprehended what they rcro fifty years ago , I felt I stood In the ircscnco of a dying race. No one can ap- ireclato such a sight. I have read of the Ise , the growth , the prime , the decline and 10 ruin of the Orcek and Roman empires , have read of civilizations and empires asslng away , but I never thought that I ; ould stand In the presence of the greatest atlon of the past because of what they held nd of the greatest nation of nil time that as created from what they lost. " Speech 1 > > - Wnriier .Miller. Another of the visiting New York delega- lon to bo called upon for remarks was cx- enator Warner Miller , who was asked to espond to the toast , "Tho Waterways of Our Country. " Ho confined himself to a dls- : usslon of the Nicaragua canal scheme and aturally drifted Into a discussion of the xisslblo future colonization policy of this lountry after paying the following tribute o the exposition : "When I looked upon ho exposition , was Informed that it is the growth of but a few mont'hs , saw its beautl- ul sights and the products of nature which t displays , I was glad that I was a part of ho country that ) can make so grand an ex position In such a short time. " Senator Miller stated that people have bo- omo so well Informed of the advantages hat would result from the Nlcauragua canal hat ill Is useless to enumerate them. The most Important are that it will glvo this : ountry control of the commerce of the Pa cific nnd reduce the sailing distance around ho world one-third. The long trip of the Oregon proved what ! a great benefit It can become to this country and this fact Is ngaln emphasized by the long trip the Ore- son and fowa will have to make to reach Dowcy at Manila. "Of course the primary object of the canal ivlll not bo of warlike character , " continued Senator Miller. "Wo are not seeking ag grandizement. But aggrandizement has been thrust upon us , and wo will accept the trust. Wo will finally hold Cuba as sure as the world exists. It closes up the Gulf of Mexico and guards the mouth of the Mississippi river. It Is said that wo secured the Island for humanitarian mo tives. It was not that at all. Do you sup pose that wo will over let an Independent power hold the island ? Never. We have taken It and wo will annex It , as we have already annexed Honolulu. This business of governing colonies Is no longer a theory , but a condition. It therefore becomes us to prepare for it , and In no better way can wo do so than by building the canal. " Senator Miller , however , insisted that the canal will bo utilized more to promote com merce llian war. Ho maintained that It Is sure to bo built and the only question now Is whether It shall bo built by American or foreign capital and asserted that it must be with the former for this country to reap the full benefits. Judge Metcalf of Buffalo responded to the toast of the "Panamerlcan exposition. " Ho stated that this exposition Is to bo held in the year 1901 , not moro than four miles from Niagara Falls , the great power of which wll bo utilized In It. Exhibits from the grea Paris exposition of 1900 will be seen within Its gates. The most prominent men In the Empire etato ore banded together to bring i to a successful consummation. In responding to the toast of "Commercial Relations Between the East and West , " Secretary - rotary W. R. Corwln of the Merchants' as soclatlon of Now York made a plea for the consolidation of the commercial Interests o the country for the promotion of foreign trade. Ho pointed out that the country Is manufacturing products for 110,000,000 people plo while the demand in this country cornea but from 75,000,000. The surprus Is disposed of by Individual companies and corporations , but the business Interests have never become concentrated for the purpose. These of Russia , Franco and Germany are doing so and ara cutting deeply Into the trade of England. This Is the particular tlmo when the United States should take similar steps , In the opinion of tbo speaker , because ho believed that the government will retain Cuba and Porto Rico and possibly the Phil ippines. These possessions will cnabFo tbo commercial Interests to como Into competi tion with other countries In foreign ports more easily. Mr. Thurber of the Produce exchange of Now York spoke much on the same lines In response to the toast , "Our Foreign Commercial Relations. " Ho declared that the manufacturing Interests of the country have grown to such proportions that they must look for widened markets. In order to secure them concerted action Is neces sary. Ho spoke strongly In support of the Introduction In the schools and colleges of a more extensive course In commercial edu cation. 1'otter of the Edward Rosewater was called upon In re sponse to "Tho Press. " He said that at nc time In the world's history was the powei of the press so extensive. The axiom thai tbo pen Is mightier than the sword has been fully proved recently , for Just as tht press forced the war upon the country , sc It U still fighting. It knows better than the generals and the strategists how tbowai ( Continued on Sixth PogcJ MARES THE GOVERNOR MAD Washington Revokes Order Putting Troops at His DisposaL PROPOSES 10 CALL AND ARM VOLUNTEERS Some Itrpnrln from In ill an Country Indicate Mori- Trouble mill Thoiu From Oilier Sources MINNEAPOLIS , Oct. S. The government has notified Governor Clough that it has revoked the order putting the companies of the Fourteenth Minnesota volunteers at Duluth and at St. Paul under his orders. He had all preparations made to send the Duluth companies to the front at once to protect the Bottlers and was arranging to mobilize the remaining companies at St. Paul. Ho supposes that the revocation Is duo to General Bacon's message saying that the trouble was over and that there was no danger. Ho adds : "I shall pay no moro attention to the War department. If neces sary I will issue a call for volunteers , arm them with such guns as I can pick up and lot the government go to the devil. I am tired of doing business with Washington , Th rp is ( oo r"Uh rKl iaj > . . not an alarmist , but It Is the * ' > to be prepared. It will reassure the settlers and perhaps prevent an outbreak. " The following telegram was sent by Gov ernor dough today : H. C. Corbin , Washington : No one claims that reinforcements were needed at Walker. I have not been asked for assistance from that quarter , though I do n < t think .h.t General Uncou has won * hj vl 'lory ho claims. The people generally say so. The Indians claim that they have won and that la my opinion. The people all along the Fosston branch of the Great Northern railroad are very much alarmed and are asking for assistance and protection from the War department. The soldiers are hero and are willing and ready to go , but as you have revoke. ! your order of yesterday you can do what you llko with your soldiers. The state of Minnesota seta will try and get along without any as- Istanco from the department In the future. ( Signed ) M. CLOUGH. Governor. The governor has received a message ! rom Mayor John II. Nevers of Bralnerd , saying : "I have Just returned from Walker. Indians concentrating at Leech lake In argo numbers. Think they held council ast night. Situation loons grave. " W. F. Street wires the governor from Bcmldjl , west of Cass lake : "While I do not regard situation hero as alarming , our people are much disturbed. If you could send vlllago authorities 200 stands of arms they would bo gratefully received. Red lake Indians reported irritable. " A Journal Walker special says : There are now about 250 soldiers encamped at the agency. Troops landed about noon , but met with no opposition. The soldiers have gene Into camp in a square overlooking the lake , which they have named Camp Wilkin son. A number of friendly Indians came In canoes from Bear Island this morning They refused to talk of the hostlles and disclaimed any knowledge of their where abouts. It is difficult to see how this mat ter Is any nearer a solution than It was a week ago. All the men but two for whom warrants are out are still at largo on Bear Island , where dancing still continues. These men Marshal O'Connor Is determined to have and the soldiers must get them for him. Start with Prisoners. ST. PAUL , Oct. 8. A Walker , Minn. , special to the Dispatch says : Mauk-Wauk and Bap-Dway-We-Dung , the two Indians captured nt Sugar Point on Wednesday , were taken to Duluth today In charge of Deputy United States Marshals Morrison and Tollman to appear before the United States court commissioner. The marshals were Instructed In case of nn attempt to rescue the prisoners anywhere along the line of the Bralnerd & Northern railway to shoot them. Agent Sutherland has received a telegram from White Earth agency stating the In dians had held a council and would not go on the warpath. DEMAND SimilEMHHl OF IIOSTILKS. Ofllccrn IIolil n Council with the In- ( IlniiN lit the AKency. WALKER , Minn. , Oct. 8. At the Indian council held at the reservation a demand was made by the government , through In dian Agent Sutherland , that the men concerned - corned In the killing of soldiers near Bear Island bo given up to answer the charge of murder. Marshal O'Connor and 230 troops com manded by General Bacon will move to the agency on the reservation at 10 o'clock this morning. Boats were chartered last even ing and another effort will bo made to ap prehend the twenty Indians for whom the marshal has bench warrants. When the troops arrive at the egency runners will be sent out and the men ordered in. In case they do not respond Marshal O'Connor , backed by the troops , will go after them. Information given out by one of the Indians nt the council yesterday was that nineteen young bucks composed the force which en gaged General Bacon's command near Bear Island. Gny-Sho-Gwon-Ay-Yosh , or as the English version would be , Strong-Volce-of- the-WInd , was the leader nnd directed the plan of battle. The band , excepting the killed , are now on Bear Island and refuse to come in or take part In the council. It is likely that such renegades as they can Induce to Join them will uiako things lively for several months , confining themselves to depredations on small settlements. The re port that Bog-Ah-Mah-Ga-Shlk was killed by one of the sharpshooters Is denied , the chief refusing to take part In the attack. Thirty-five Indians put in an appearance at the town of IiOthrop , nine miles south of here , last evening. Tbo women and children were gathered In a building and the citizens are guarding the town. J. H. Becbe , a squawman , while walking along the Bralnerd & Northern track from Walker to Lothrop , was shot at near Loth rop. The shots , Bcobo asserted , were fired by Indians who were in ambush along the track. MINNEAPOLIS , Oct. 8. Deputy Marshal Ed Warden , who knows the Chlppowas like a book , says there Is special significance to be attached to the dance held by the Indians on Bear Island last night. As he interprets | it , the meaning Is victory and defiance. Had | the Indians been defeated the dance would not have been held. Mr. Warren is confident that the withdrawal of the troops will en courage the Indians to further mischief. AMj TI1R IlI.AMi : ON WHISKY.

The Post's Washington special says : Bishop Whlpplo of Minnesota , who Is In Washington In attendance upon the Episcopal council , places the blame for the Indian uprising at Bear Island upon whisky. Ho says there are 0,000 Chlppewa Indians in Minnesota ; that their average morality Is good and that they are friendly to the whites , all except a small band at Bear island , who have kept outside the pale of civilization and who ara hopelessly given over to Indcgcnco and Indulgences in whisky and other vices. "The great body of Chlppewa Indians , " be continued , "aro Christians. As a rule they are connected with the Episcopal and Roman Catholic churches. With few ex ceptions they are. honest and law-abiding. We have seven full-blooded Chlppewa cler gymen and ten Indian churches.

NEW YORK'S ' FAIR DAY ( Continued from First Pago. ) that even a railroad president may be a . I public-spirited citizen without betraying the I ! interests or lessening the business of his company ; that the money power is the , concentration of the capital of the many j 1 1 at convenient centers of financial operations and contact with the world , where it lies Idle and useless In times of distrust , but is easily drawn to the beneficent purposes and productive energies of the community which i can glvo It profitable employment. Those from large cities learn that New York and Boston , Philadelphia and Chicago are marts , of trade , not places of power. The country feeda and recruits them. They reflect and do not originate the conditions and opinions of the republic. The untraveled city man Is the most provincial of mortals. His local prldo paralyzes his powers of observation , and the rest of the universe exists only for his benefit and by his per mission. The west Is an unknown land of grazing plains , mining camps and big game. But ho finds here the broadest culture of the schools and colleges , a vigor ous and healthy public sentiment , the cour age to try and the ability to utilize every Invention which will Increase the productive power and decrease the cost of operating the farm , the forest , the manufactory and the mine. Thus the broader education brings Into contact and activity all the ele ments of our strength and growth. Self- ccntered satisfaction is an Insurmountable harrier to mental , moral or material growth. \\\K \ \ RnoiiKh for Our Dcntlny. Foreign critics say Americans boast of the bigness of their country. There Is no use denying the fact ; wo are big. We are not too large for a destiny never so manifest as today. Cuba IB under our protection and certain to come under our flag by the vote of her people ; Porto Rico is ours ; our foot hold in the Philippines will never be ( sur rendered , and the markets o ! the far east are inviting us to compete with the nations of Europe for their trade. Big as wo ore , the future is bigger with duties , responsi bilities and opportunities for our citizens. The sentimentalist declares that such a re view as has occupied our hour today is the grossest materialism. After years of ex periment and observation I have found that sentiment has less alloy , Is purer and at tains loftier ideals under a well thatched roof than on the sod , under storms as well ao sunshine , and with drenching clouds as well ns stars above. "What makes a hero In battle ? " I inquired of a veteran , the victor on many a bloody field. His answer was : "Plenty of good beef or mutton and hot coffee. " When Nebraska shall have reached the ago of New York there will be a popula tion of over 200.000.000 In the United States , Our domain will bo sufficient for tholr sup port and our Institutions clastic enough for their orderly government and their liberty. Intelligence will bo keen and high and the state will bo very close to the dally life and Industrial activities of the people. Co operation will bo working to an extent now thought chimerical. There will always be differences of conditions , as God has endowed his children with degrees of gifts , but the much abused doctrine that the world owes every man a living will bo In general vogue and practice. The lazy , the shiftless and the improvident will grumble and suffer then ns now , but there will be a place for all according to the talents bestowed upon them , and wisely perfected plans for the care and comfort of the aged and the help less. less.The The war with Sooln has unified our coun try. The eons of the south and the north ; fighting Eldo by sldo and under the old flag | has effaced the last vestige of the passions of the civil war. The young men of the farthest west and its primitive conditions lying with their comrades from the circles of the clubs and fashion in the east in the trenches of El Coney und charging up the bill and over the defenses of San Juan have made the men of the west and the east ono by the baptism of blood. Whether from the plains of Arizona or the palaces of Now York , and whether dressed In broadcloth - ! cloth or In buckskin , the Rough Rider Is ; the same American. I Venerable New York sends hall and cor dial cousratulations to young Nebraska. Our settlement Is 240 and our sovereignty ninety years older than yours. Three centuries of development under original conditions and free institutions greet this half century of the west from the painted savage to the Industrious citizen with a past and present full of cheer and hope. First among the states of the republic In population , pros perity , educational Institutions , churches , productive power and wealth , and commandIng - Ing the resources of the continent through her metropolis , the second city of the world , Now York , owes it nil to American liberty and opportunity. H is her prldo and pleas ure to attract and welcome the citizens of nil the sister states. The people of the south , the west and the Pacific have found hospitable homes in the Empire state In numbers greater than the population of many cities In those sections. These frater nal tics intertwining with the bonds of pa triotism and common interest bind our states together In ono Indissoluble union , nnd make us all ono people , of ono country and under one flag. The Inspiring peroration which closed Mr. Depow's address was followed by another popular demonstration , and then the crowd pressed forward to the stage , where a short Informal reception occurred. Upon tbo conclusion of the excerlsea at the Auditorium the members of the New York party and the exposition officials pro ceeded to one of the viaduct cafca , where dlnuer was served , the members of the Now York exposition commission being the ' hosts. The dinner was an Informal affair I and was without oratory. Ono remarkable feature was the fact that at the table there was more capital represented In a business way than at any gathering ever before seen in the city. It Is estimated that the men who wcro around the board represented not less than $200,000,000 , nearly all of which is employed in trade or In the operation of railroads and railroad equipment. After their lunch the distinguished Now Yorkers separated into groups and visited the buildings that interested them most. At 3 o'clock they all met at the New York State building an < 6 under the guidance of Major Clarkson proceeded to the Indian congress - gress , where they watched the sham battle from seats that had been reserved for them. To most of the party this was something new , as many of them had never before seen Indians , except the wooden articles In front of cigar stores. The charging of the forces and the retreat , together with the treatment of the captives , Interested them very much and many of them expressed the opinion that if the exposition was without other features , seeing the battle would be well worth the tirno and expense of a Jour ney from New York. TELEI'HOXB DOW.V FUOSI CLOUDS. War Diillnoii Make * Itn Flr t SucceHn- ful Anceiinloii. Yeesterday afternoon the atmospheric conditions were perfect for ballooning , and as a result the war balloon made the only successful ascension slnco its arrival sev eral weeks ago. The day before the big bag got away and shot up Into the air , but the upper currents of air were strong nnd It drifted with tfio wind. Yesterday after noon , however , there was scarcely a breeze when the balloon was cut loose , and the same conditions prevailed up in the strata where it soared. Just after 2 o'clock Sergeant Brlcdo took Sergeants Barton and Lockart into the con fidence and Informed them that ho proposed to give the people an exhibition of fine ballooning. The three men Jumped Into the basket , Brledo standing on the edges and hanging to the guy ropes over his head , with his companions beneath him , signalled the men having charge of the lifting apparatus to cut loose. The bags of ballast were cast oft and the balloon commenced to rise. It went up In an al most perpendicular direction until It reached a height of SOO feet , when it stopped. Bar ton and Lockart threw out some ballast and higher and higher the bag shot until it reached an elevation of 1,000 feet and not 100 feet either sldo of the starting point. From their high perch the men In the basket placed themselves in telephonic con nection with the operator on the ground , informing him that they had a beautiful view of the surrounding country , and that up where they were doing business the weather was even moro perfect than down on tbo earth. From Its elevation the balloon was drawn down by the windlass to which the cable Is attached , and anchored with the bags of ballast until 5 o'clock , when another as cension was made , which was equally as successful as the one of the early after noon. The balloon used yesterday was not one that was In "service during the recent war with Spain. It was made for the purpose and sent south , but before it reached Cuban soil the war was over nnd the bag was sent back to the balloon station at Washington and from thcro sent direct to Omaha. It carries 25,000 cubic feet of gas and la made of the strongest canvas , varnished both in side and out. Speaking of the trips made yesterday Ser geant Brledo Bald ; "It was one of the most delightful ones in my nine years' experience in ballooning. All of the conditions were perfect. Up In the air the wind , what little there was , was as fresh and balmy as iprlng. The atmosphere -was as clear aa a bell and cities and towns thirty nnd forty miles away could bo seen. Off to the southeast wo could BCO the town of Glenwood , over in Iowa. The winding course of the Missouri river could bo followed until lost In the distance. To the south wo could see Plattsbouth and way off to the west the town of Ashland was visible. The fringe of timber along the Platte could bo distinguished , while Fremont was plainly In view. Off toward the north wo could see Blair , nestling In the hills along the bluffs of the Missouri river. The country to the west and north resembled a great chats board , dotted with the farms upon which the 'bouses ' and other buildings might bo taken for chess men. "Peoplo who have never been up In bal loons have no Idea of tbo beauties that are spread out below them. There Is something I about the business that is fascinating. Peo- j pie -who climb to the top of a high mountain nnd look over the landscape think that is a I beautiful eight , but it is nothing to what ' may bo eeen from a balloon that Is 1,000 or more feet In the air. " Sergeant Brlede , whllo not ono of tha old est navigators of the air , la one of the suc cessful ones.
