"Him at the Threshold Met and Well Did Enterprise. TO HIS EXCELLENCY , GROVER CLEVELAND , PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES , While prominent citizens of all shades of political opinion unite in receiving and entertaining you , showing you the many attractive features of the most enterprising city in the west , and pouring into your ears its merited laudations , we have taken the trouble to collate a few statistics , which we hope you will-find of material use to you in * t your future reflections upon the prosperity of this part of our country. No matter whnt you examine yon will bo amazed nt the marvelous growth of our city. We can only nope to present to your notice a few of the miuiy fncts which benr upon upon the subject. The growth of the Live Stock bus iness is one of the most important. The favorable location as a collecting , distributing and packing point led to the establishment of the Omaha Stock Yards at South Omaha in the year 1884.

THE HANKS. There are eight national panics , five private banks and two pavings banks in the city , besides two national banks 3 nt South Omaha.

Thus without a failure our banks have grown from small in stitutions till they are bulwarks of strength to the commerce and manu factures of the city. The best indication of the extent and activity of business is the rep ort of the clearinghouse.

THE JOHIIIXO TRADE Is growing in volume year by year and the number of firms rapidly in creasing. There are now 227 whole sale houses and with the linn hold that Omaha now has upon the trade of the vast territory tribut ary-to her , it cannot but continue to prosper.

This thousand closely. year thirty-five and cars of corn have been received and other grains in proportion. The trade is yet in its infcncy , but is cer tain to increase. THE MJM1IEH TRADE Is growing rapidly , and has assumed gigantic proportions , This is but a natural sequence to the rapid growth , of the city in buildings. The following table indicates the growth in the past year : Capital. Employes. Sales , issn ifooooo ; 4.v ) t.r > ,2uoXo ( ) Ibb7 I.UOO.OOO 025 B.&OO.OUO THE MANUFACTURING Interests of Omaha are growing in importance as rapidly as other inter ests , which is indicated by the fact that there arc six thousand men cm- ployed in manufacturing interests , with a monthly pay roll of § 270,800. The wonderful increase in the whole sale trade of Omaha will certainly in crease the manufacturing establish ments. Such has already bee n our experience and with the continued growth of the city in other avenues we may confidently expect to assume our proper place as n manufacturing center. OUR SCHOOLS. We are justly proud of thsni. There are now twenty-three school buildings in the city which cost 1800,000. , There are 170 teachers and O.OGO children in attendance. THE IMMENSE POSTOFF1CE Is worthy attention. The business of the city postofiice ns a natural se quence of the remarkable growth of the city , has arrived at formidable , proportions.t The total number of carriers cm- ployed ten years ago was six. This year there are four times as many , while the total letter delivery is more than sixteen times as great as it then was. The following table furnishes an interesting comparison : 1877. 1887.

The United States probably makes a larger profit out of the Omaha post- office than in any other. But we need a large postofiice building , and when the authorities at Washington are convinced of its necessity it will surely be given us. The improvements in buildings shows for itself. Immense _ struc tures are goiii up on every hand. Remember this , that IT HAS DOUIILKD ITSELF. The population in four years. The wholesale trade in two years. The brick btm'ness in two years. The grocery business i n four years. The hardware trade in two years. The lumber business in three years. The hat and cap business in three years. The dry goods business in two years. The boot and shoe business in thrco ye ars. The live stock trade in one year. The bank deposits in four years. INTEBNAL REVENUE COLLECTIONS.

It wast not necessary for the rcprcsenta- Uvcs of tha jxjoplo of Omaha to assure the Knights- Pythias that they wore heartily urclromo to the Gate City. Actions speak 'oudcr than words , and the hearty greetings iccordod the visiting members on all hands linco their arrival has been enough to con- rincethcm of the appreciation with which Uio order and its proceedings nro regarded. But in accordance with nn established cus- iom it was necessary to open the gates und Jellver the keys to every nook of the city in l formal manner , and right royally was this duty i > erforincd by those upon whom it was lini > osod. Exposition hall was comfortably filled by 8 t'clock last night , when the reception took place.Governor Thayer was escorted to the ball by a detail of oftlccrs , and Major-General Carnahan entered later , accompanied by his Hides and the officers of the Second regiment. Adjutant General J. E. Smith acted as chair man , nnd in a few words introduced Acting Mayor Ucchol , who , on bchulf of the citizens Bf Omaha , welcomed the members within its Bates und assured them of the best of treat ment from the neoplo of the city they hud honored by their presence. Governor John M. Thaycr was nest intro- fluced and tendered a cordial welcome to the knights of other jurisdictions within the bor ders of Nebraska. The governor sjwko briefly of the progress of the order since its organization and expressed the hope , entertained by nil who hud occasion to ob serve its achievements , that the good work of the society might continue with renewed vigor. At some length the governor siwko of the principles of the Knights of Pythias , "Friendship , Charity and Ueucvolcnce , " and with u tribute to the uniform rank for its grand corner stone loyalty to the govern ment ho closcd.with u hearty welcome iu the name of the people of Nebraska. Colonel John J. Monell wus the next speaker. The colonel referred to the recog nition by the highest authorities of the state nnd municipality paid to the order as ovl denco that the Knights of Pythias was recog. nlzcd in nn ainircciutivo manner by the IKSO- plo. The gold lace and bright swords glitter ing in the sun were not , the speaker said , tin entire object of the uniform rank. On tlu contrary , these were the slightest. Hehiiu the glitter und pomp of public dlsplu ] there were principles of which ho could no fully speak , not the least among which wai fealty to the American flag. The lesson : taught on the path through Pythiunism wen such , if strictly adhered to , us would wel nnd completely fit the knight for the life ti come. Ho then welcomed the visitors t < Omaha in behalf of the knights of this city General Curnahan being introduced , spok ; nt length uK ] > n the benefl.ts of the order am especially the unlff nn rank. His nddres was replete with interesting statements o t : the principles of the uniform rank and h wa frequently interrupted with bursts o applause.

With thisth Pythian festivities in Omaha arc formal ! opened and with the next three days will b completed events to bo long nnd favorabl remembered by the citizen and visitor i Ornuha.

Crager was born in Philadel phia , April , 1837. In 1857 ho took a prom inent part in the laying of the first Atlantic cable , on board the Friguto Niagara. During the war Colonel Cruger served in the Penn sylvania bucktails. In the year 18G7 ho be came a Knight of Pythias , being initiated into Crystal Fount .lodge , Philadel phia , and afterwards instituting the ledge known as Rising Sun ol that city. In March , IbtiS , Colonel Crapor came to Omaha and was nmdo D. G. C. for Nebraska , and instituted the lirst live lodges of the order in the state. Ho was made venerable patriarch of the flrst grand lodge in the state , was representative to the hupremo ledge for thrco terms , and iu June , 18S7. was made utdc-dc-camii on the stall of the major- general with the rank of colonel. That posi tion ho holds to-day. To his untiring efforts is duo much of the progress and prosperity ol the order in the stuto to-day. In the hearts of his fellow knights Colonel Cr'iger occupies an unusually warm place ; for him they en tcrtuin gratitude and esteem of the highest order and his jwsition in the pythiun ranks to-day is ono of decided importance and re sponslbility. Colonel John J. Monoll , aide-de-camp or the stuff of the major general , was born October tobor 3 , lt > 37 , in New York city. There IK lived until the ago of twenty. In 1S57 hi came west and settled in Omaha , where hi remained until ISM , then with others ho lef for the gold regions , where ho rcmnliict until 1804 when ho moved to Council Uluffi and engaged in the book and stationary bus ! ness. On October ' . ' 0,1871 , ho was married t < Miss Ella Lawrence , a daughter of Dr. M. U Lawrence , of Council BlulTa. In 1S73 hi cumo to Omaha , where ho has lived eve since. Colonel Monell became a knight In th autumn of 1S71 , Joining St. Alban's ledge No 15 , of Council Ulufls , and was the flrst C. C of that lodge. In Omaha ho united with th Nebraska ledge No. 1 , und is yet u uicmbc of that lodge. Iu 1875 ho was elected grand chancellor o Nebraska and was ono of the representative to the supreme ledge until ISb'J. .In 18S1 h was made an aide on General Carnahan' staff and had command of the division of th uniform rank In the state of Nebraska up t Ouly when the brigade was organized. A genial gentleman and an enthusiast ! Pythian , John J. Monull has by his zeulou labors in the cause of Pythianlsm , won th gratitude and esteem of the knights of thl us well as those of other jurisdictions. As a cxGinpUllor of the unwritten work and a authority upon all Pythian matters it is n < too much to say ho is rated among the be : in the order Universal. Among the pioneers'of Nebraska Pythlai ism is li. E. French , the present G. K. of I & .S. or this state. U.ls but a fitting tribute 1 the zeal and worth of this knight that lie should have held the oflico of G. K. of H. & S. for n continuous term of eighteen years without doubt the lorigest term of service by any person in a position in the order. Mr. French was born in Oswego , N. Y. . Septem ber ua , 1841 , where ho lived until twenty years of ago , when ho moved to the oil re gions of Pennsylvania. In 1808 ho came to Omaha , and for nine years followe.d the in surance business. Since 1883 ho has been en gaged in the real estate business in this city. In December , 18CS , Mr. French became u knight , joining Nebraska lodge , No. 1. At the first session of the first grand ledge of this state ho represented Damon ledge ( now defunct ) and was ut that time elected to his present position. On October 27 , 18G7. ho was married in Union CityPenn.to Miss Eli/abcth McLean. Mr. French has attended every session of the supreme ledge since 1808 except the session held in St. Louis. As u slight recognition of his valuable services to the order the Pythians of this section contem plate presenting his name in connection with the oflico of supreme keeper of records and seals before the supreme ledge next June. His endorsement for this position will bo strong and his election will be a worthy honor to u worthy man. Colonel E. S.Mtadcliffo , of St. Paul , Minn. , is un uido on the stuff of General Carnahun. Colonel Uadcliffo was born Juno 2 , 1854 , in New York city und in 1801 went with his parents to St. Paul. In 1875 ho became. a knight and in 1881 a member of the Uniform rank. In October 18M1 ho was appointed aide to the major general for the state of Minne sota. Colonel Uadcljfl'e is an architect. In early life the taste for military honors developed itself in this young Pythian , us will bo seen by u story related by his Minnesota friends. In 1804 , ut the ago of ten years , ho left , clandestinely , the parental roof , and arriving at Fort Snclling applied for a position us drummer boy. Ho wus refused permission , to go out with the troops , but so earnest were his appeals for an opportunity to display his chivalry that the commander of the post per mitted him to do service nt the post in the capacity of drummer. There ho remained for two months , laying plans for a trip to the front when ho was captured by the enemy ( his father ) and returned to his homo. The love of military tactics still exists in the young drummer and ho is. regarded as nn excellent disciplinarian and u successful ofllccr. _ 1UUKF Ijin Frank Jones HreatliR Free Air For Only Twenty Mlnnt < > H. Frank Jones yesterday finished u sentence of forty-five days in the county Jail. It will bo remembered that Just before ho was sen tenced ho broke into the Southern hotel and stole a largo amount of clothing. Detective Horrigan made the arrest for that offense and while doing it ho was assaulted by Jones and seriously pounded. When Jones was re leased yesterday ho found Horrigan waiting for him. Horrigan took him to the city jail nnd recorded a charge of assault and battery on the books. Jones is ono of the hardest characters in this section of the country nnd is well known to the iwlico. He was recently released from the Minnesota state prison nt Stillwater , where ho served three years for housebrcaking. Tills offense was committed ut Minneapolis nnd ho was sent up under the name of Frank Norton. Ilricf Council Meeting. The democratic state convention , the Knights of Pythias' demonstration and the preparations for the rcrcptlqu of President Cleveland , caused the members of the city council to lose interest in city mat ters last evening.

A Woman Saves Her Bnbc , Hut It ) Killed Herself. Yesterday afternoon at ! iW : ! o'clock n woman named Mrs. Mary Murtz was run over by B. & M. curs In the yards ut the foot of Leaven worth street and killed. She was near her sister's residence nt the time and to shorlca the distance she attempted to crawl under an ciupty cur , with several others , which had for sevcrn-l days past been stand ing on u side track. A Hying train was backed on the same track to push the ob structing cars out of the way just HS Mrs. Murtz wus crawling across the track. { The cars knocked her down and passed over her body at the hips , mangling her horribly , and ditching the first cur that passed over her. She hod her eightcon-months-old child with her at the time , and with n touching maternal instinct , she looked flrst to the safety of her offspring throwing the little girl several feet from the track out of danger's way just after the car struck her. Mrs. Murtz' sister , who was a horrified spectator of the accident , rushed to the scene and drew her sister from the track , but she was beyond all earthly help , nnd in less than ten minutes was dead. Her husband , a manly young fellow of twenty-five , reached the spot too latfe to see his wife alive , und the young husband , with the little child in his arms , looking in mute agony at the mangled body of his wife , wus n sight that touched the sympathies of all who witnessed It. The body was placed on u shutter and car ried to her home just recently finished , about ! iX ( ) yards distant from the scene of the acci dent. A jury was impaneled by the coroner nnd a verdict rendered blaming nobody but the deceased for the accident. She wus about twenty-two years old and has been married less tlnm three years.
