"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

spectively treasurer and secretary of the
1'anamerlcan congress , E. W. Curtis , Jr. ,

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.

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

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

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.

CHICAGO , Oct. 8. The Post's Washington
special says : Bishop Whlpplo of Minnesota ,

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

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

victor on many a bloody field. His answer

When Nebraska shall have reached 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. He was not at Santiago , but
ho was In active service at Washington dur
ing the recent war and there bad charge of
all of the balloons that were sent south.
He Is a young man , 23 years of age , and has

TWIN CITV DAY IS > OT A SUCCKSS.
ThouminilB of Ylxltorn I'roiulHcil Full
to Show Up.
While yesterday was designated as Twin
City day it lacked most of the essential
features required of a day In order to make
It a success. It has been stated , and the In
formation had been glren out , that thou
sands of the residents of Minneapolis and
St. Paul would be hero for the purpose of
seeing the exposition and joining the thou
sands from other cities and towns In the
United States. But Instead of the great
crowds coming down from the two big
towns of 'Minnesota ' , only a couple of bun-
dred of visitors arrived. These who did
come , however , had a good tlmo and felt
amply repaid for the trip. They visited the
Minnesota building , where they checked
their parcels , after which they started out
to do the exposition. They did not get half
way around when the gates closed for th4
night , finding It a much bigger show than
they had anticipated.
The Mlnnesotlans will remain over today
and Monday , and some of them will bo back
again , coming to participate In the exorcises
of Jubilee week. The advices from Minnesota
seta are to the effect that during Jubilee
week several excursion trains will run from
St. Paul and 'Minneapolis ' , and that thou
sands of the residents of the state will bo
here upon that occasion.
Last night the visitors from St. Paul and
Minneapolis had something of a reunion nt
the Minnesota building. They spent the
early part of the evening along the Midway
and at the fireworks. Soon after 10 o'clock
the entire party , together with a number of
invited guests , gathered at the Minnesota
building , where an Informal reception was
held , Secretary Danforth and Commissioner ,
Field doing the honors for the occasion. :
Thcro was music during the evening. Upstairs - ,
stairs light refreshments and cigars were
served to all who called. By these who
were In attendance It was voted ono of the
most delightful "at homes" held on the
grounds since the opening of tbo exposition.

There was a big and thoroughly animated
crowd on the grounds last night and every
feature was liberally patronized. The band
concert was enjoyed by an audience that
filled the plaza and when the crowd turned
toward the other end of the grounds to see
the fireworks It pretty nearly occupied the
entire north tract.
The concert was so enthusiastically en
