A k Bar-Ben XVI, with his royal train has
arrived. Ha came In kingly splendor and
remains to feast, to play, to dance, to hold
court and to give bis most powerful aid
to make happy all the people who have
fathered to greet him.
Preparations extensive and elaborate had
been taken to make clear the way and Il
luminate It quite gorgeously for the royal
entry, which was all that loyal subjects
could wish. In chariots electrically pro
pelled and shining like huge meteors low
ered from the kindly skies, the king and
his queen and court came through the wide
swung gatea and made a glad progress be
tween massed multitudes of cheering, ex
uberant subjects.
No monarch of ancient barbaric days, or
ruler of the present prosaic age, ever had
such triumphal entry to a capitol city. Ak-Sar-Ben's
own loving people gave him
right royal welcome and made his majesty
and hla entourage their own, with hand and
heart.
Inspired by the thrilling acclaim of the
delighted populace, the court bard burst
forth in song, when he had first caught
his breath: ,
Court Bard Makes Rhyme.
"Beneath the lights In Omaha proud
knights discoursing stood, not of warlike
work to come or former fields of blood, nor
of the joy that tyrants feel when fear
some serfs do bow: they waxed right gay
for Ak-slxteen, a right good king, I trow;
and ' ladles fair In throng's lines on his
royal state did gaxe while he showered
smilaa to right and left as In the storied
days; the monarch was bereft of speech.
but we saw hi fond eye thrill as he viewed
the hosts so thickly massed where the bee
hive crowns the hill; and tu rough the bias
ing lanes of light, where dark was made
like day, he moved anon and held his
courae along the dazzling way; eke was he
lad, and likewise stirred, and hla soul
was elevated by the spectacle that caught
hla view where hla playground la located.
'Horn by my beard, this Is quite rich,'
whispered he to the royal ostrich; never
king of ancient time or kinglet o'er the
ocean 'saw half so grand a sight as this
and it gives me deep emotion; of all the
cities In my realm this Omaha Is first
despite its reputation for encouraging
thirst, and proclamation soon I'll make
that all my knights shall marry merry
maidens such as these who tempt me
aoie to tarry; but first I'll tear the fences
down that split it, mores the pity; for
here's the place, by my own good grace,
to hold the royal city.' "
Parade la Monster Play.
Small . wonder the bard was moved to
woo ' the muae ere yet ha o,uenchtd his
hunger, for each one of .Uie twenty floats
that passed through the living lines of Ak-
Sar-tttn'a devotees. In Its glow of electric
light and (splendor, was a complete play
In itself. The monster crowds, looking on
aaw on each the story of some great
economic subject, or of some big national
topic clearly symbolised.
Tha parade was designed In its entirety
to represent the nat.onal administration
Kvery department of government and every
phase of politics had a pun In the spec

Tha string of floats were equally divided

light, fixed at the front of this float lighted
the way ahead for the procession.
The tltla of tha leading float of the sec

and those wiicb. followed It carried scenes
of a humorous character. '
The tecond flout was that of "Agricul

Surety Company
Must Pay Bond
Supreme Court of South Dakota
Decides Against Corporation that
Tried to Escape Liability.
PIERRE, S. D., Oct. B. (Special.) The
supreme court today affirmed the lower
court In the case of State against Western
Surety company, which was up on appeal
from Minnehaha county. It appears that
one John Magnus was indicted on a charge
of Illegal celling of liquor, and that he gave
a "Western Surety company" bond for his
appearance In circuit court to answer to
the Indictment. When court convened Mag
nut had evidently decided that the surety
company was better able to stand the
strain than he waa and he failed
to show up In court, or anywhere else
where he was known. The bond was de
clared forfeited, and the company declined
to pay on several ground, all of them
more or less technical. The court holds
that none of the technicalities can waive
the provision of the bond, which said It
waa given for the appearance of Magnus
In court, and that the company must pay.

"Waffles" Caught in Trap
Trying to Steal Corn
V'Waffles" Is a pup who has lived four
months In the north part of Omaha. He
has a sate retreat under the kitchen porch
used only for dire emergencies, but every
time he sees a coffe pot he beats it for
the back porch and shudders with sheer
fright far ten minutes. "Waffles' " mis
tress keeps chickens and feeds them shelled
corn. She was disagreeably surprised a
few days ago to find that Waffles, who.
with utter disregard of all the precedents
of pupdom likes corn himself, was driving
the chickens away and eating up their din
ner. Beating merely grieved him and had
no effect on his appelate, so bis niistra
decided to put the com in an old coffee
pot and then ladle it out to the chantlrleei
and cleareaaea by the handful.

Administration has Its 'glories and

and the men who do this part of the busi
ness are regarded, necessarily, as quite
important" personages. In fact, to them
the active field officers and the men give
a confidence' that signifies they feel sure
of the men attending to the details.
To look at Captain W. L. Clarke of the
signal corps, in his office, one would not
pick him out as at all concerned with very
large affairs. Yet he Is carrying quite
some responsibility, and he holds as many
offices as the Pooh Bah of the old opera.
First, he is property officer, and then he
Is constructing quartermaster. likewise,
he Is post quartermaster, post commissary,
post ordnance officer, and, lastly, post
police officer Thus he Is a sort of general
director, overseer and executive, all In
one. j ' tA.

has had to get to camp and In shape. to
issue wjth precise expedition 250,000 pounds
of hay, aiO.OW) pounds of oatM, 100 cords of
wood and a hundred ana one other neces
saries for a big herd of horses. As the
men are cautioned not to drink the
hydrant water on tap throughout the
grounds, Clarke keeps three water wagons
going all the time, from daylight to dark,
bringing barrels of drinking water from
the artesian well In Miller park. The
troops like this water, and It eases the
pressure on the doctors, as well aa avoid
ing many a call on the medicine cheat.
All the manure and garbage of the an
must be kept cleaned' up and removed, and
to this duty Captain Clarke also gives his
attention. The City Garbage company does
most of the hauling, but army auaistanc
Is necessary where so large a body of
troops and so many animals are concerned.
Vast quantities of manure and garbage
go to the city dumps from the camp each
day, and the ramp Is clean always.
To feed the thousands of men is some
thing of a trick, but the army system en
ables this tremendous chore to be handled
without a hitch,
For the number of troops i
now at Fort Omaha, during a ten-day
stay, 24,000 pounds of beef is required, a
like quantity of flour and potatoes and 6,000
pounds of onions. Of tomatoes 1,600 cans
are used, of sugar 5,000 pounds and of cof
fee 2,000 pounds. Salt is consumed to the
extent of 1,000 pounds and sixty pounds of
pepper. The bakers use up 240 pounds of
baking powder and SOtr cans of condensed
milk are consumed. Of butter between 800
and 1,000 pounds Is required, supplied In
tubs holding sixty to sixty-five pounds
each, besides which the men of the various
commands buy a great many pound pack
ages. Bacon used runs to the weight of
5,000 pounds, and besides all this provender
of the basic kind the men get beana, rice,
prunes. Jam, apples and peaches fresh and
evaporated, pickles, lard, syrup and every
thing in fact that appetite craves or taste

stores, either for ready cash
or in ex-

announced today that If he should find
himself unable at the last minute to visit
the canal In November he will visit the
canal Immediately after the adjournment
of congress on March 4 nextf
The recent slide Is taken by the presi
dent as another good argument against
the sea level type of canal, which would
have required an eight-foot deeper cut at
Culebra than the present one.

In the throes of a violent revolution.
Al. of the Portuguese navy and a part of

Uprising expected.
Though a revolution, peaceful or accom
plished with violence, waa not expected.
It la generally believed the Immediate '
oauao was the assassination in the capltU ,
of Prof. Bombards, the republican deputy '
and chief of (Ue Liberal league, by a lieu
tenant of the army, bo intense waa the'
feeling agalnm the throne that thja Inci
dent, comparatively trivial . .in -lUeU, , was
sufficient to start the outbreak. :.
Portugal, following the example of Spain.
has been imbued iu recent years with a
strong ontl-olurlcal sentiment aud the gov- N
ernmental proarain included a revision of
the statutes of the religious ordors.
President-elect Fonseca of Brazil recently
arrived at Lisbon and last night a grand
banquet was to have been given him by
King Manuel. Accordingly the Braxilian
president must have been a witness of
scenes similar to those of 189 In Brasll,
when the Portugese empire In that country
was overthrown and the father of tht
present presldent-eluct waa elected presi
dent Evidences of the activity of those wh
aimed at the throne have been found fre
quently of late. On September 2U the poUot
raided a bomb factory and arrested ten.
This action was said to have followed thi
discovery of ,a widespread anll-inonurchy
plot with ramifications throughout thi
kingdom.
El Imparcial, an official organ at thai
time declared the government was pre
pared to mercilessly crush the revolt
Following the discovery of, the bomb fac
tories there have been arrests made daily
among medical students who were mem
bers of a secret revolutionary society with
branches in the Unrion medical school and
the University of Colmbra.
Clerical Feature of Situation.
The government's aoilon against tht
clericals also complicated the situation. .
Following tne expuleiou of the Jesuits from
the monastery Aideu Polite many Upanian
priests known us "Aiarlunuua," who had
settled In various parts of Uie country and
opening convents and monasteries were or
dered out of Uie kingdom and their estab- '
lisliments closed by authority of the law of
IJ02. which peruiiiie.d the establishment of
religious orders only tor' charitable and
educational purposes.
The Portuguese unrest which had grad
ually increased since the discovery of plots
to overthrow the monarchy and aet u, a
military die tatoi ship or repubilo was ag
gravated by serious strikes fcniong the cork
cutters and coopeis. More tnan 20,000 men
slopped work at Barteiro and rlot!:ig fol
lowed. 1 he strikers seised railroad trains
and threw, out of the freight cars and
burned thousand of bales of cork.
Municipal guaids and regiments of in
fantry and cavalry were dispatched to
liarreiro and a collision between the strik
ers and the soldiers ensued. Fifty strik
ers were Injured.
Urievaae of Cork (.'alters.
Tho grievance of the cork cutters was ths
exportation of uncut cork, which the work
men claimed should be treated In Portugal.
The coopers demanded a cesjatlon of the
Importation of foreign made barrels. The
government revognUed that the strikes
were taking a revolutionary turn and, to
appease the strikers, discontinued tiieiex
portatlon of uncut eoik and placed pronibt
tlve duties upon foieign bartels imported.
Ovation far Brnalllan.
Preside::! -Elect Fonaeca of Brasll re
ceived a great ovation when he arrived at

him lo Beletn palace, from the balcony of
which he addreased a large crowd, felici
tating the Portuguese psople as the "source
from which tprun my fatherland and the
Brazilian nation." The crowd cried, "Long
live the republic of Brazil."
