NEBRASKA WELCOMES PRESIDENT
WITH UNPRECEDENTED ENTHUSIASM
Chief Executive and Wife Given Most Cordial Welcome to Largest
Nebraska City President Makes Several Able
Addresses Reviews Parade
President and Mrs. Wilson visited
Omaha Thursday and were given a
great reception.
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

The newt-paper men and secret ser

of the automobiles.

on the running board, rtanding be
side the president.
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 - ; '

Several railroad officials

engines
were placed along tne nne uei.-.ii

trains were required to slop while

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

DOGS IN ALLIANCE
NOT SO PLENTIFUL
Iast year there were 180 dogs, ac
cording to official reports, in the city
of Alliance. 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.

Strong Aggregation nt North
Platte, Novemlier 17
The football fans of Alliance are
greatly Interested In the announce
ment that a game has been arranged
between the Alliance high school
eleven and the famous North Platte
team.
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.
