Never in the history of the Ne braska metropolis has such a crowd visited the city. The annual Ak-Sar-Uen festivities were in progress and the visit of the nation's chief execu tive was a wonderful drawing card. It Is estimated on good authority there were 150,000 visitors in Oma ha Thursday which together with the city's population, made a vast throng indeed. A great crowd was at the I'nion station to greet the nation's execu tive. The people began to gather two hours before time for his special train to arrive. By 11:30 t' e viaduct and the approaches to the track hevel were tilled with people. A large platoon of police had charge of the interior of the station, and all visitors were excluded. Many travelers leaving or arriving secured positions inside the station,, but these even were hold back by the po lice, and a wide aisle was kept entire ly free from the train Bhed to the side entrance of the station. Four members of the reception ....nimiltan CI. tl t 1 1 1 1 1 Cll tllOSe W'llO went to the station to meet the presi- dent and his wire. 1 ney were u. w. Watles. John L.

The procession to the Commercial club was headed by a rqu.id of mo torcycle policemen and an automobile containing Chief of Police Dunn and other officers. The presidential au'omobile was drapped with a big tlag and on the hood was the presi 'ent s Hag. Through the street J lined with cheering crowds the proeobsion went directly to the Commercial club. Members of the rece ption commit tee met at the Fontenelle hotel in the morning and there received their in structions from Mr. Wattles. It was at the express wish of the president ellethat only four met him at the sta tion. The others went from the Fontenelle hotel to the Commercial club. President Wilson looks extremely well. He sat in his automobile with the Wilson smile on while the camera men took their pictures. Mrs. Wil son wore her favorite flowers, orchids and beaned on the multitude. The president's train was an all steel train made up of baggage car, businesn car. diner, Pullman for the newspaper men and other members of the party ann , ne .pre - ; ' ate car.

President Wilson made his fir.il address of tne day to Commercial club members at the luncheon a noon, win n 600 crowded the limited capacity of the house, and some f.On more stood in the corridors and in the aisles bnwien the rows of tables after the luncheon had been served. Mrs. Wilson was with the presi dent, directly across the t.'.ble from him. Mrs. II. H. P.aldiige sat at her right and Mrs. Janns C. Dahlman at her left. J. A. Sunderland introduced the president. Governor Morehead was at the president's right during the luncheon. 'America has been pi Hating other peoples too long," said the president, w hereas America has a store of na tive genius that is amply adequate to all her needs." He spoke of the newer American ideals, and sail, "1 venture most of the business men at first spoke of the anti-trust law with curses under their breath. There was much talk of big business getting no sympathy. The fact Is, big business had plenty of sympathy, but bad business ought not to have had any sympathy. "Some of the days when the tide of business runs free, you'll look back and say, "that is when the chan nels were dug for this tide.' " The executive talked briefly of Ne braska's history, and declared that the people out here are people who are accustomed to looking after themselves, and are self-reliant. "Ioveliness ersonitied! " was the thought in everyone's mind, as Mrs. Wilson passed regally into the din ing room at the banquet tendered ut the Pontem-lle. (Tall ami stately of carriage, tin- president's wife was ex quisitely gowned in a creation-of white Lucile tulle, girdled with op alescent sequins and embroidered in silver. The skirt was fashioned of three flounces of the white tulle over a white foundation, while the shim mering girdle extended a little above the waistline and a little below, scal loped to produce the effect of rose petals. The bodice was of white tulle ami the tiny sleeves of tulle were embroidered with narrow rows of sequins. Over her shoulders Mrs. Wilson wore a filmy chiffon drape. Mrs. Wilson was wearing a cors age bouquet of pink roses sent by l'ine Uidge Indians, through Don II. Foster, as a token of appreciation of Mrs. Wilson's descent from the In dian Princess I'ocohontas, when she entered the (lining room, but a3 she took her place at the table, her eyes lit on a beautiful corsage of her fav orite (lower, orchids and when she left to go to the auditorium, she add ed the orchids to the houqu-t of roses she was already wearing. Mrs. Wilson ate but little, toying daintily with her food, and talking in an animated manner to John l-.ee - - - Webster, who sat at her right, and -kurdon W. Wattles, who sat at her Ir-ft. She laughed frequently, her smile exhibiting a row of perfect , teeth. Diamonds were the only jewels worn by the president's wife. Mrs Wilson wore a diamond bar pin, a il iu iiiniiil hnu'itlpt uti 1 h. ritht iirm. and a tiny wrist watch, studded with ! diamonds, on a narrow black band .mi tlw li.ft uriKl : while u hiriie dia- - . worn on the engage- t hnger.

The balcony of the dining room was tilled with a few who were able to get admission cards that carried them nasi the secret service men on ilntv :it t!ip I'nnrs It was noted by the observant that the president had a splendid appe tite. He consunnd ever) thing inat was set before him with neatness and dispatch and in a manner com- nliiiieiitarv to the chef. Between courses he ale rolls. With it all he kent un a lively conversation with those seated near him.

Now according to the same source of information there are but sixty-four. This is a great slump in the num ber of canines in this commonwealth. There may be fewer dogs and it might be possible that owners of these animals failed to give an ac counting when the assessor called. Anyhow, it is whispered there are riore dogs in this town than there are tax receipts for the said dogs. I'fiiu t'.n'i tnuk.'ki I hi. tii.u.'t.rR that he inclinde toward an investigation as . .1...

This game will be played, if there is no hitch in the arrangements, at North Platte November 17. The North Platte aggregation is said to be something formidable and a game with that bunch means hard and fast playing with the possibility of defeat always present and a victory within the range of reason. Last season the North Platte team played championship football and if the organization Is as strong this season, there will bo plenty of glory in winning a victory over them and no disgrace in going down to defeat. Alliance has done well so far tins season, getting an easy victory over Scottsbluff and coming out of the terrlllc Children scrimmage with tin; score a tie.
