The president began his day's tour of Nebraska 'at Grand' Island under most favorable ausplcoa Grand Island and the whole surrounding country turned out almost en masse to greet hla and cheers upon cheers rang out as he passed through the streets In his carriage. At 8 o'clock he received the traveling men at his car, shaking hands with them. A special train brought in the veterans from the Soldier's home, who matched along as an escort. Long rows bf school children were also drawn up to catch a glimpse of the guest, the president paying special attention to the smallest ones. He stopped a moment to turn the first earth at the site of the new library building, and In his short address before a sea of faces at the high school (rounds referred not .only to the evidenoes of marital prosperity he had observed on his ride the previous day, but also to the schools, .the church and. the library as the elements of strength In providing people of the moral' character that is sure to win. He was Introduced by Mayor James Cleary of Grand Uland. The reception committee included in addition T. O. Harrison, C. O. Ryan, C. F. Bcntley, W. H. Thompson and Louis Velt. The president wore on bis coat lapel a White rose presented by the Infant child of Mr. Ryan. On return to the train the party 'was Joined by Governor Mickey, Senators Mil lard and ' Dietrich and Congressmen Hlnshaw and Norrls. Nebraska's. Trees. The Grand Island speech, which was char acteristic of the day's talks, was as fol lows: Mr. Mayor, and you, men and women of Nebraska; my fellow-Americans, my fel-low-citlsens: It Is Indeed a pleasure to come Into your great and beautiful state. Yesterday afternoon, for my good fortune, 1 had a ride and as I went through your country I was struck not merely with its natural fertility, but with the way In which that fertility has been .$nhflQ.ced and varied by your own efforts . In the first place let ma say hpw glad I am to sen' so much alfalfa, as well as corn. If von haw aot two etaDles you do not nave as much misery whe,n one staple hap pens to fall. In the next place I was more struck thu.n I can say by the amount of timber I saw, the groves and rows of trees. I knew, of course,' that over 200, (HO, acres of foreBt land had been planted In Nebraska, but to know a thing la one thing and to See it Is another. And It was a matter of good augury for all the state to see as I dl.i at Mr. Stalley's place, where a saw mill has been started to saw logs from timber planted and grown by our own people. Nebraska was originally a well nigh tretless state. The great bulk of the trees here have been planted by Its own people. I am klad to say that through tha wisdom ..of your senators and representa tives In helping to establish forest re serves In' the nand bills, now Hie national government will be able to co-operate with your own spirit of private enterprise. What Nebraske has done in tree planting has ex tended beyond Its own limits. The founder of Arbor Day wns that upright and able public servant, the late ex-8ecretary Ster ling Morton. (Applause.) Arbor Day has extended fwr beyond the limits of the state and all over the union. Now millions of children as well as millions of grown peo ple learn -practically on Arbor Day the wisdom of trying to plant trees where they The World's Greatest Skin Torture Many infants are Born with Eczema - - It's the Only Thing Some Folks Have left When They Die TIIK ONLY INFALLIBLE CUKE IS CUTICUUA It la In the treatment of this most dis tressing of torturing; and disfiguring kin and scalp humoufs, with loss of hair, that the Cutlcura remedies have achieved their greatest succc.

' This morning I have turned the sod In preparation for the building of the new library; and I passed between great rows of school children on my way here, and I see some children here and there in the crowd. Now I am proud as an American of what Nebraska has done with its pro ducts of the field and range; I am proud of your material development. But after all what really counts in the end In any state Is the character of the men and women whom the state produces. That Is the essential thing. (Applause.) The school, the library, the church, the hun dred Instruments for moral and Intellectual betterment, those are what count more than aught elan in developing the type of citizenship In which as Americans, we have a right to feel satisfaction. I was glad to see the children. ,1 believe in your stock and I want to See It kept up. In closing let me thank you all for your greeting. The rest of you will not grudge my thanking especially the men- of the Grand Army, the men who in the times that tried men's souls proved their worth by their endeavor; but beyond that I wish to thank you all, and to congratulate you upon what I see about me. The material prosperity which we now all so abundantly enjoy, that prosperity which must stand at the base of our national welfare, and that over and above that you have reared on that Indispensable foundation what la absolutely necessary if the build ing Is to be worthy of the architect the superstructure of Intellect anfc moral well being and righteousness; the superstruc ture of which the cornerstones are the li brary, the school, the church. I believe In the men and women of Nebraska, of the west because I feel that you are In a sense typical Americans. Your forefathers came Into this country and as pioneers carved the prairie Into fertile farms. You have had In the past to face hardships and dis aster. The work of taming the new coun try is a rough one. You not only have to tame It, but you have to find out. what can be done with It, and the penalty of trying to do the wrong thing is sometimes heavy. You have succeeded. You have put this state on a permanent plane of prosperity. That prosperity has been helped by wise laws snd the administration of the laws; but after all has been said and done, while something can be done by law, and while we must demand honest and Upright ad ministration of the law, yet in the last re sort each man must rely as the chief factor In working out his own salvation upon the Bum of-the qualities that go to make his Individual character, upon his honesty, his courage and his common sense.

Here in the true west, there are nocds to be met of a special" kind. I spoke this morning a word of ap preciation of the remarkable work done by Nebraska In tree planting;, and of the Just tribute of regard that must be paid by all of our people, not only heie In Nebraska but throughout the country, to the memory in me late sterling Morton, whose Interest In tree culture was so great. More than that, it Is through the aid of man anlt as your senators and representatives In Ne- nrasaa mat we have made a permanent be ginning at last of the Irrigation system." unci steps not on the schedule were made at Donlphnn, Fairmont and Crete, the president appearing on the rear plat form.

Lincoln more than any of the other points visited was profuse in.red, white and blue; every window flew the American flag. Tha postomce, the university, 'the state houuo, the commercial buildings, the residences, each waved a welcome from a hundred flags to the hero of the people. Across tho street on O, between Twelfth and Thir teenth, was suspended a large picture of the president. , The poetofflce was a waving mass. Hundreds of flags flying in the wind from many windows gave this building a most beautiful appearance. At the state house the most artistic work was done. In every window on the north and west was the president's picture framed In the na tional colors. The long corridors radiating from the center to the north, south, east and west were arched in flags and red, white and blue. Bunting tapering from the staffs of which were smaller flags, like red, white and blue lace. Every office-door' was covered with portions of red, white and blue. The walls of every office on the first floor were resplendent with color. Congressman Burket, T. C. Munge, chair man of the. congressional 'committee; Past Master Ed. Sizes were at the head of ;ho committee that arranged the details of the reception. The speech at Lincoln dwelt more espe cially upon the duties of citizenship. What He Said. The president spoke from a stand on the capltol grounds. He said! Coming through the state of Nebraska' today I have rejoiced in your great pros perity; I rejoiced in your fertile soil; I rejoice in the crops you raise and, after all, the best product of any 'soil Is the product of the men and women. (Laughter and applause.) I was mighty glad to see your children, they seemed to be all right In quality and In quantity. (laughter.) I think ypu have a mighty good stock. I want to see it go on. (LaQghter.) And now, my friends and fellow citizens, I have -but a word to say to you. I wish to speak. one word only upon government good government. There Is nothing pe culiar r Wonderful in getting a good gov ernment any more than, there is anything peculiar or wonderful in a. man's, making a success In private life. The same quail ties that make a man a gdod man in his family, a good husband and. father a go,od, nelghbol, a "man with wham-yen -like to work or to deal with, those same qualities make him -a good citizen,; good man fa 4he state' when applied in his rela tions tq ' the state'. We need honesty, we need courage, we need common sense. We need to show In civic life the same spirit, that you shpwed in the civil war -in battle; what you Cared to Know about as to the man on your right . hand or your left was not the. way In which ho worshiped His Maker; not his social standing or wealth; you cared nothing whether he were a farmer or mechanic, lawyer bf business man, bricklayer or banker; what you wanted to know was whether he would do his duty like a man. (Voices: Right, right!) This is what you cared for, whether he would stay "put- when the time came (laughter). It la the same thing in civil life now. Before the visit to Lincoln was ended It had begun to sprinkle and when Wahoo was reached the rain tell In continuous downpour, but that did not prevent the president from addressing the assembled crowd of adults and children from the rea oar platform. ). ; - . i; Fremont Give Greeting?. -: '' ' By. the time Fremont was reached.

Tbe word was quickly,, spread and a large crowd gath ered. Ig ao Incredibly short time to catch a. glimpse of the nation's honored sxecu tlye. ' He was enthusiastically greeted and his words were listened to with great pleasure by all. He said in part that the people of Nebraska aud of the nation were to be congratulated upon, tbe prosperity of all. Wtse laws were partly responsible for this condition; that the hand of tha Lord was manifest to our. success, hut that af ter ail 11 was the character of tbe individ ual whlrfe must count most.

The Swedish Lutheran academy was rep resented with over 160 students. The en thusiasm was Intense and the president's few minutes' talk was very much appreciated. WELCOMES THE PRESIDENT (Continued from First Page.) president, of tbe United States heard and fairly 'pivoted on his heel to neglect no one.. . . Salutes a Veteran. As the carriage turned off Sixteenth and west on Harney an' aged veteran hobbled to tbe edge of tho crowd and gave a cheer that was all his own. The president of the United States, who had seated himself for the moment, arose and doffed his hat to that poor shadow of a fading glory. As the pageant, swinging back onto Farnam street from. Seventeenth, reached Nineteenth and turned , northward, a dust-covered young farmer raised his baby above his head and shouted: VHere's my starter, Mr. Presi dent." The president of the United States saw the father and the child and laughed outright, whereupon the sire of promise sold: "He notioed baby. He noticed her. didn't he?" and fell back Into the crowd, supremely proud. At Twentieth and Doug las, about the Omaha olub house, the cav alry, the police and, the cadets all ranged about In a square. As the president stepped from his carriage and walked briskly up tha south steps he saw thsm all, and turning with bared head he waved them his thanks for the honor shown then passed In and from sight. The crowd melted away reluc tantly, and not until the last of the car riages had deposited its burden. : At '.the Omaha Clnb. Hundreds of persons trampled the lawns and lined the curbstones at Twentieth and Douglas streets when the president's car riage drew up before the Omaha club. Amid cheers and the waving of many hand kerchiefs he left the carriage, the band which was drawn up to. the right of the club playing' "The Star Spangled Banner." The"-president, Secretary Loeb, Senator Millard and Mr. Thomas A. Fry proceeded up the steps, Mr. Fry walking before the distinguished guest. President Roosevelt and Secretary- Loeb were shown to apart ments where traces ' 6f the day's Journey by rail were removed. The Omaha evening papers occupied the attention of Mr. Roose velt unm he was brought down for dinner at 6:40. Aa he stood at the entrance to the dining hall on the second floor, Kauffman's or chestra, behind a screen of palms at the south end of ;the room, played Sousa's In spiring "Stars, and Stripes Forever."

There was no restraint nor seml-allence at the dinner. A more democratic repast was never enjoyed In Omaha with or without a president to lend it dignity. The spirit was ons of pleasurs and delight and good cheer. The banquet was ended at 8:05. General Manderson asked for quiet and said: "Gentlemen, the hour of 8 o'clock has arrived and, as you know, the president will spesk at the Coliseum.

Without further ceremony the banquet party left the hall, preceded by tbe presi dent and Mr. Fry. In a few minutes thj president and party came down Into the reception room of the club, where- William Cannon and John W. Long were watting to present President Roosevelt with the fol lowing resolution, embossed on leather and signed by thirty representative colored cit izens of Omaha: , Whereas, Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States, has by word and deed Rhown himself to be the president of the whole people of the United States and has decided that character ami ability shall determine the eligibility of American It ixens for political advancement and that race or color shall not debar them from such; and whereus, bis put.

The president was being hurried away In order that he might reach the Coliseum early, but ho paused and, lifting his hat, shook hands with the colored men, who presented the resolution, and said: "This Is a gift that I appreciate most deeply." He read a part of the text and continued: "I assure you, gentlemen, this gift touches me mos( deeply. I shall Veep It for good you may depend on that." Then he was told that an elaborate bridle In a suit case wrapped In the colors was also a gift from the colored people, and he thanked them again and extended his hand In parting. Outside people had filled every foot of space from which they might observe the steps from the club snd as the president stepped forth they cheered loudly. Wind Prevents Street Decoration. A capricious wind god forbade Omaha's decorating as It wished for the president. The wind god arose before daylight and was busy with its meanest tricks until long after Its usual evening retiring hour. Flags were almost blown from their staffs and It would have been quite Impossible to have fastened fragile bunting on store fronts so securely es to make It stay. In consequence the willing business men had to content themselves with window por traits framed In national colors and with photographed flags nailed up In sheltered corners. Of these there was an abundance and at night some of the establishments, notably the Boston Store, gave an extra touch by elaborate electrical Illumination. But It was at the Omaha club's home that most was demanded and that most was provided. It is very certain that Omaha has never seen a prettier dinner plan and It Is doubtful If the president of the United States has. The three large rooms on the east side of the second floor were thrown together and three tables united In an open oblong with a fourth slightly to the south, but In direct linn with the principal guest. Steward Pryor bad abandoned the customary flag scheme arid used, -instead diminutive Incandescent elec tric globes, red, white and blue. Beauties of the Banquet Hall. These he fastened to cables, bound In green. The cables were hung diagonally across the rooms, from corner to corner, the globes glowing high above the guests' heads, with tho wires bound with smilrx. Similar strands extended the full length of tho center of each table, the incandes cent protruding above a tiny bank of asparagus sprlngrii given color by white and pink carnations. Directly In front of the president was a mirror lake In which rode a diminutive schooner given the club by General Manderson and modeled after the Zampa, owned by Emperor William II. Tho rigging was bung with asparagus plu mosus and the tiny lake was hedged about with gp.llax leaves, the bronze of which contrasted most beautifully with the dark, green of the aBparagus pluniosus with wht,:h they were interwoven. In the center of each of the long tables was a cannon, its carriage of pink carnations and its barrel of white, thus giving the army as well as tbe marine a representation. The side boards were surmounted by varea of white carnations and were banked with farlyenses and maiden hair ferna. Tha chandelie were bung with srailax and the side lights with the rare asparagus plumosus ferns that predominated In the other decorations. Over the president's head was a handsome portrait of McKlnley and facing bim, at the opposite end of tbe room his own por trait, of similar size and similarly deco rated. Potted palms occupied all space spared by tbe table and chairs. At the Coliseum. ! The people began to arrive at the Coli seum about 7 o'clock and when the doors were opened It was all that a detachment of police and the ushers could do to keep the people from filling the seats and boxes reserved for the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben. By 8 o'clock tbe crowd was so densely packed In the aisles that the managers gave up the attempt to keep the seats reserved and ths congestion was relieved by throw ing all unoccupied seats open to the public. It waa 8:33 when tbe presidential party arrived. The party entered with General Manderson at the head, closely followed by Prealdent Roosevelt. The general had Just passed through the door when the president passed him and came to the center of the stage ahead of tbe party amid deaf ening cheers. Ths crowd cheered until it waa tired and then General Manderson said: "My fellow citizens: We hsve a high regard for the great office of tbe chief ex ecutlve of the greatest nation on earth. We are here to do more than to honor the of fice; we are here to honor the man who honors It Theodore Roosevelt. (Cheers.) When our respect for the office la Joined to the admiration for the man our emotion Is intensified. I now propose that we all stand and give three cheers for President Roosevelt." These were given with a will and Gen eral Manderson continued: "Now, every mother's son and daughter of you sit down. It is my Intention to turn this unruly mob over to the man who took ths coal strike In the grip of bis hand and settled It. I think our honored guest an command silence by his august pres ence aa well as by reason of being tbe president of a great republic." Tbe , President's Speech. There was an ovation long and loud ac corded the president, as hs stepped to tho front of the platform. There was quiet In an instant as the president began his ad dress. Hs said: Mr. Chairman. and you, my fellow citlsenn: It is a great pleasure to come before you this evening. Since Saturday I have been traveling through your great and beautiful state. I know your people; 1 have been with them; I have worked with them and It is Indeed a Joy to come bere now and see from one end of your state to tho other tha signs of your abounding prosperity. ( Applauee.) And I feel that the future of Nebraska is secure. There wiU be tern- A TIME OF DANGER! Thousands in Peril from Blood Diseases and Nerve Tnubles Developed Durinfc the Winter Months.

I address you tonight on the anniversary of the birth of the great, silent soldier, lTlysses Grant and I am glad to have the chance of saying a few words to an nudl ence such as this in this great typical city of the west on the occasion of the birthday of the great western general, the great American general. It Is a good thing to pay homage with our Hps to the Illustrious dead. It Is a good thing to keep in mind what we owe to the memories of Wash ington and his followers, who founded this mlnhty republic; to Abraham Lincoln and Grant and their followers, who saved it. (Applause.) There Is a president here to address you this evening because, Gen eral Manderson, you and those like you proved your truth by your endeavor In the years from '61 to '65. (Applause.) . Homage that Counts. Now. gentlemen. I have said that it Is a good thing to pay homage with our Hps to the mighty men of the past, but It Is a far better thing to pay homage that counts, the homage of our Uvea and our deeds. Il lustrious memories ot a nation's past sre but the curses If they serve the men of the nation at present as excuses for shirking the problems of the day. They are bless ings if they serve to spur on the men now to see that the men act as well in their time as the men of yesterday did In theirs. Each generation has its peculiar prob lems; each generation has certain tasks allotted to It to do. Shame to it If It treats the glorious deeds of a generation that went before as an excuse for Its own fail ure to do the peculiar task It finds ready to hand. We have not got such problems as those that bended nigh to crushing the shoulders of sad. patient, mighty Abraham Lincoln. liut we have our problems. A short while ago we had problems of war. Now we have problems of peace, and upon the way in which we solve those problems whl depend whether our children and our children's children shall look back or shall not look buck to us with the veneration which we feel for the men of the mighty years of the civil war. Our task is a lighter one than theirs, but It Is an Import ant one, and do it we must if we wish to rise level to the standart set us by our fore fathers. You, In Nebraska, have passed through periods of terrible privation, of misery and hardship. They were evil times. And yet there is no experience, no evil that out of It good cannot come, If only we look at It right. Things are better now. Things csn be kept better, but only on condition that we face facts with coolness and sanity, with clear-eyed vision that tells us what is true and what Is false. When things go wrong there Is another ten dency in humanity, to wish to blame some of Its fellows, and that Is the natural ten dency and by no means a wholesome ten dency. Where the , Hope Lies. There Is always a tendency to feel that somehow by some legislation, by tbs enact ment of some law, by the trying of some patent scheme things can be mode perma nently better. Now something can be done by law. A good deal can be done by law. Even more can be done by the honest ad ministration of the law; an administration which knows neither fear nor favor, which treats each man exactly aa that man's rec ord entitles him to be treated: the kln.l of enforcement of the law of which I think I may promise that you will have while Mr. Knox remains attorney general. (Applause.) Hut more than the law. far more than the administration of the law, far more depends upon the individual quality of the average citizen. That Is under Providence, the chief factor in working out the salvation of any nation. I say under Providence. If the hand of the Lord is heavy upon us. If the stars war against ua in their courses, if therj (Continued on Seventh Psge.) Kesema No Cure, No Pay.
