GATHERING. OF THE MULTITUDES.
The qrowd began to start toward the cen
tral portion .of the city sopn after C o'clock ,
undo from that hour on the anxious ones
swarmed toward the favorite points for
seeing the procession at a rate that caused
the managers of the Street Hallway company
to shake hands with themselves. One wise
man was overheard to remark that the street
rallwjy company could almost afford to pay
for > the Ak-Sur-Hun parade for the increased
receipts accumulating to that institution.
Observation would Indicate that the wise
man , was not far wrong In his frank state
ment. The cars of nil the lines of the city
nuvcr did such n business before In any om1
evening. Some individual lines may have ,
luit last night the travel was general , even
the stub lines from the outlying suburbs
being crowded from 7 o'clock until a. The
travel on the North Twenty-fourth street
line was a fair.sample of that In all parts
of the city , llotwec.ii the hours of 7 o'clock
nnd 8:30 : the CBTH coming southward were
crowded bofrro they reichod Grant street ,
am ] for nearly an hour all the cars on the
line were filled up long before they arrived
at Cumlng street , HO that continuous runs
were made , and the waiting crowds on the
street corners were Informed hy the motormen -
men that there was another ear coming right
behind. It came , but It was filled to the
gna'nls , and did not even hesitate until It
reached the downtown district. Thus It was
throughout the early part of the evening.
Many of the best places , notably points of
vantage about the city hall and the comity
court house , were occupied , before most supper
per- bells rang. The great bulk of the vis
itors' from the state were down town good
and early , aa they supped nt restaurants or
Immediately on coming In from the f lr.
Everyone , It scorned , was on hand. If there
was anyontr absent ho was overlooked In the
crush , and would have difficulty In establish
ing un alibi. The spectators varied In ago ,
dress , color , language and appearances of
servitude. They tanged from Infants In
arms ( because the neighbors wanted to see
the parade , too ) to aged couples who talked
freely about the parades of Centennial year.
They wcro frnm the country and the city ,
they were light and they wote dirk , they
were domestic and they were Imported , but
all looked alike to King Ak-Sar-llen III , for
all wore his happy and loyal subjects.
11EIIALUING THE KINO.
! ( . was JiiBt 0iO : : o'clock when Henry J.
FonYuld , secretary of the Hoard of Govornoro
of the Knights of Ak-Sar-llen , came dashing

charger. { lo drew rein lu front of the city
hall and delivered to the mayor of the city
a communication from his royal majesty.
King Ak-Sar-llen III , which the honored

municipal otllcurs about him. The royal
mcpsago staled that King Ak-Sar-Hcn III
was -without the city's gatcw and desired to
enter. The genial mayor said : "Show him

secretory returned forthwith to his king ,

ing to your royal highness , the king of Ak-
Sar-llen the Third and all of your loyal
subjects. Receiving ns we did an unlimited
amount of pleasure and headache from your
former visitations , wo b ve looked forward
with a keen anticipation to the time when
we could again see your smiling face and
vloiv your magnificent and triumphant entry
Into our city with chariots bedecked with
gold and silver and accompanied by these
beautiful of all beautiful living pictures.
With the bountiful crops and general pros
perity abroad In the land on every hand ,
more than ever have wo awaited your com
ing with great chunks of pleasure , feeling
that well could wo afford to present your
majesty with the great key to the city of
Omaha , even at the risk ot having to Issue
more of the -tVi per cent bonds. We might

mlnuto into the lagoon at the great Trans-
mlsslsslppl Exposition grounds , but this
sccno never the memory of this gilded
splendor red fire and smoke , llko the In

"Omaha may well unbuckle her belt and
swell up with pride upon being favored by
such a royal personage as your majesty.
Never before on the earth has been seen such
a display of wealth , harmony and beauty as
wo see In you and your subjects , even sur
passing the startling effect of the new coat
of paint on the roof of the court house ,
"We will become accustomed to your maids
of honor , but should wo appear rude at first
or possibly turn our faces to the wall and
weep , do not Judge us too harshly , for we ;
are a bashful people and our eyes are un
familiar with such a gorgeous display ot
fascinating lioauty and forms divine.
" \Vo are here tonight partly on account of
our ui anicrican , incontestable desire to bow
before royalty and partly to glvo unto your
majesty the great key to and the freedom ot
our city. The only request wo have to make
Is that you will please return them both hi
good order. And as Nero said when ho sat
on his throne and llddled away while the old
town of Home burned so say I unto you :
'There will be a hot time In the old town
tonight. ' "
AKTBH GETTING THE KEYS.
As sooii as Mayor Moores had pronounced
thesi ) mystic words thcro was n great shout
of glee from the thousands encamped on the
court house lawn , and the Seventh Ward
band , under the leadership of George Greene ,
promptly struck up the familiar air , "There
Will ' 13i ! a Hot Time In thu Old Town. . To- i
night. " It was plain the gallant mayor had
made a hit , and another great shout went up
from the vast crowds gathered about the
stand In front of the city hall , The keys of
the city In his possession , King Ak-Sar-IIen.
Ill felt like a farmer who had Just sold his
dollar wheat and his face beamed with
si-raphlc smiles. He told his courtiers to let
the procession move on , and he went on his
way rejoicing , for he knew that he had hold
of a good thing.
The mayor's stand was the subject ot the
greatest curiosity and Interest for the crowd.
With the mayor were scaled United Slates
Senator William V. Allen and Governor IIol-
comb , the city olllcera and the members of
the city council. All were attired In even
ing dress , and ninny wcro accompanied by
thulr wives and families. The dignitaries
seemed to find us much delight In thu passing
uhow us did the spectators on the street , and
they weru much more enthusiastic. Ut the
approach of each limit Mayor Moored and
the members of his suite arose to review It
and to receive the salutHlcms of the various
characters Impersonated. All the IIoats and
most of the bunds were heartily appUuded
hy the olllclal party , and especially the llojts
representing the seal of Nebraska , the sugar
boot Industry , prosperity and the Transmla-
si&slppl Exposition.
MAUKEIJ I1Y A MISTAKE.
Thcro occurred but one Incident during
the entire progress of the procession to mar
Its splendor and effect. An alarm of lire ,
turned In without Investigation for the need
of such an act brought the lire department
to thu corner of Seventeenth and Farnam
ttreetB at 10:15 : o'clock , Just after the lit-
teenth lloat had paused by , Interrupted the
procession for a quarter of an hour , filled tbo
streets with pcoplo and the peoplu with
alarm , and wrought confusion generally.
Uccauso Komo flro dropped from a lighted
candle that was held out of the third story
of the New York Llfo building. George Helm-
rod , county treasurer , fancied that the whole
build-Ing was afire and promptly turned In
an alarm of flro. It was only duo to the care
exercised by Chief Hedell and his men In
breaking through the crowds that some ono
was not hurt or killed by the fire appaiatus.
The down town engines made the run up
the alley between I'a main and Douglas
streets , avoiding those crowded streets en-
tlrcly , and the engines from Eighteenth and
Harnoy were led through the Immense crowd
on the south side of Farnam street across
Seventeenth hy Chief Hedell hlmielf. The
crowds nulled Into the streets and Impeded
the firofcae of the engines , and It was almost
miraculous that some ono was not run over.
The alarm was a pure case of false alarm , as
no flame of flro could bo found.
THIS PRECEDES THE KING.
The key to the cntlro spectacle was fur
nished by the first , or title float , which gave
the crowd a suggestion of the gorgeous pic
tures that were to follow. The base repre
sented a mound of rough country , In which
patches of rock and bare earth alternated
with tufts of buffalo grass and occasional
clusters of prairie flowers. In the center
two Immense sunflowers rose and were
spread outward so that the legend , "Pageant
of Qulvern , " which was written lu the heart
of each could be distinctly seen , lletweon
these flowers flourished tall clusters of
smaller sunflowers which waved ns naturally
as though stirred by the prairie breeze.
Around the central embellishment were
grouped Immense cacti and other hardy vege
tation , with a single vision of folhgo In
which Insects of various hues were dis
porting themselves. In the vegetation be
neath the figures of grasshoppers , toads and
other specimens of animal life were graphic
ally represented. The whole effect was par
ticularly striking , and the suggestion of the
realm of Qulvera was apparent to the least
attentive observer.
"Ills Majesty , the King , " .Alc-Sor-Ben III ,
rode in majestic splendor in the second float.
This was one of the most elaborate designs
in the parade. The subject was capable of
effective treatment , and brought out the best
efforts of the designers.
The king was seated on a golden throne
which rose at the rear of the float. Over
him was suspended a brilliant canopy sur
mounted by the royal crown and draned
with festoons of gorgeous blossoms. Im
mediately In front wcro the approaches to
thu throne , which consisted of two elaborately
carved stairways , ono on each side , richly
uirpeted and glowing with brilliant color-
| Ing. Each newel post was crowned with a
handsome vnso Illled with flowers , and still
I further forward were two huge columns of
I most artistic design , which completed the
effect of the picture. Around the king were
I grouped the dignitaries of his court , A hand-
| sono : statue of Euterpe stood at the extreme
front ana Just behind was the herald , whose
silver trumpet proclaimed the coming of the
I king. On two sculptured pedestals at the
right and left of thu throne stood the
chamberlains , clad -In the rich livery of the
court and behind and at the side were
grouped the other attendants of the mighty
1 sovereign.
I Following the king marched the Seventh
j Ward Military band , and this was followed
I by the third float , which represented the first
historic scone In the story that the pageant
was supposed to portray. This was the
departure of Fraiiflsco Vasqucz de Coronado
from Barcelona for the now world in 1C35.
The design represented the ship In which
Coronado sailed tossing on the waves of the
harbor. The old type of the Spanish galley
was depicted with remarkable fidelity. The
halls hung loosely on the masts and each de
tail of the rigging was reproduced. The
sides , prow and stern of tlio vessel wcro
richly glided as became the transport of a
man who was to sow the seed from which
the kingdom of Qulvera was to spring three
centuries Inter. The Spanish flag floated
gaily from the stern of the vessel , Coronado
stood on the poop , dressed In the gorgeous
ccstume of the sixteenth century and around
him were the knights who had pledged him
their company. Forward were the sailors
less richly dressed and the members of the
compiny were In the act of bidding farewell
to the friends who had just bid them good
bye as they lifted anchor In the harbor ot
Barcelona.
lANOTHEIl CHAPTER IN HISTORY.
The fourth float Introduced another chap
ter In the history of Spanish conquest. It
was entitled "The Land of the Aztec , " and
It was rich with the tropical vegetation and
luxurious coloring of that historic land. In
the rear towered the musslvo pillars of the
temple where the high priest of the Aztecs
stood to receive tbo homage of the people.
At each corner of the temple a huge pal
metto nourished and In front was a profusion
of tropical foliage and shrubbery. In each
of two huge plants which appeared In the
foreground sat an Aztec maiden richly hab
ited and veiled and utlll further on thu Aztec
warriors with their striking costumes and
head dresses mounted guard that no unholy
foot might Invade the sanctity of thu temple.
Float No. S was entitled , "Guzman , and
the Captive. " U was preceded by two
mounted soldiers of the Mexican government
wearing the picturesque garb of their call-
Ing. Behind them was the Ancient Order
of United Workmen band with eighteen
men.
men.The float depicted the palace of the gov
ernor of Mexico , Nunez de Guzman , to whoso
cupidity was duo the first exploration of the
vast region now known as the transmlssls-
slppl region , The main feature of the float
was the governor's residence In the City of
Mexico In the year IE40. It vas a palace of
characteristic Aztec arcaltee''jre , approached
by a grand staircase. The bodyguaid of the
governor surrounded the paUcu and guarded
It against Intrusion. In the foteground was
a fountain throwing streams of illvery water
to a great hfHBn-f * . Standlns In the doorway
of the palacfr wn the Spanish governor of
the territory , Guzman , llstonlng with eager
cars toTlio ti'le'.V'of'untold ' ' treasures In the
far north brtif 'lioured Into his ears by n
captive Indian , belonging to nno of the north
ern tribes. Guzman was arrayed In robes of
yellow nnd puri'le ' silk , liberally trimmed
with gold lacv'&nd 'Jewels , and his hat was
a broad-brlmtmVd lirfalr decorated with whlto
ostrich feathers falling over his shoulders.
The Indian wiH aicssed Iti a part ) which lent
credence to ftYs f/ilo / of the marvelous rlohcs
of the Seven.culos of Clbola. He wore *
red satin Jackbj Jftcrally sprinkled with gold
spangles and a ' ( ilack velvet breech-clout
with gold dccpyitbns. His headdress of eagle
feathers shone With the gold dust sprinkled
over It and his whole makeup was Indicative
ot riches untold. The decorations of the
float ItseJf were In keeping with the general
tone of richness of the whole scene.
"Onward to Qulvera" tol.1 the story of the
result of tbo wonderful tale poured Into Guz
man's cars by the Indian. This float was pre
ceded by two of the Spanish adventurers who
so eagerly sought the opportunity ot finding
wealth without working for It lu the king
dom ot Qulvera.
The float represented ono of the gates of
ths City of Mexico , showing the motley army
of Spaniards and Indians leaving the city
for the undiscovered country to the north
In search of gold and other treasures to bo
had without labor. The massive gate of the
city was shown In A realistic manner. All
around were plants of tropical growth flour
ishing luxuriantly. Just beneath the gate
was scon the commander of the little army ,
whllo all about him marched his soldiers nnd
retainers. At the head of the party marched
the Indian guide who was to lead them to
tha country of gold , The army was made up
ot n motley crew of soldiers and grandees
and was accompanied by two priests. Pack
mules laden with stores for the maintenance
ot the. party were shown as natural as life.
The soldiers and all the others of the party
were arrayed In gorgeous trappings of war
and shone resplendent with gold and silver
mountings. i
DREAM OF ORIENTAL RICHNESS.
Float No. 7 was called the "Vision of the
Plains. " It Illustrated the alluring visions of
the wealth of Clbola , which filled the minds
and fired the hearts "of the Spanish Invaders.
The float was preceded by the Woodman of
the World band , seventeen men , and two
horsemen representing Spanish grandees. The
latter were arrayed In the picturesque costume -
tumo of Spanish courtiers of the Sixteenth
century , made of silk and velvet , the pre
vailing colors being purple and gold In ono
caeo and purple and gold in the other.
This float was a dream of oriental richness
and depleted the Illusions which filled the
brains of the Spaniards. The most gorgeous
vegetation surrounded 'the float on all sides ,
and gigantic butterflies , with golden wings ,
fluttered about from flower to flower , sipping
the nectar from the golden throats of the
luxuriant beauties. Hugo nuggets of glitterIng -
Ing gold were strewn about and In the midst
of all this wealth a corc of beautiful Indian
maidens disported with carelfss grace. Those
maidens wore dresses of scanty length , but
the gold and other precious ornaments were
scattered over the gowns In such profusion
that the scantiness was lost sight of. In a
towering bower at tlio summit of the float n
veiled beauty hid her charms from the gao ; :
of the curious multitude , and no Invitation
to make herself , known was sufficient to In
duce her to rcveab her Identity.
"Tartarrax , the Dreamer , " was the title of
float No. 8. U was preceded by two full-
blooded Sioux Indians In gala dress , carryIng -
Ing spears and wearing the head dress of their
tribe. The float depicted the garden of the
aged king of Quiver * , with the spreading tree
hung with golden i bells , under which the
old king was wont tp take his noonday siesta ,
according to the wonderful tale of the Indian
to Guzman. The tree bore a wonderful re
semblance to 'ti. threading oak of ancient
Uncage , and tlld gdlden bells shook merrily
as the gcntlo breezes caused the branches to
wave to nnd fro.
The garden ofj the' king bore gigantic roses
and other swedts"rncllliig flowers in profusion.
All about were sniftered the floral beauties
and wonderful and unknown vegetation flour
ished In great atiu'ni\anqe. \ In the midst of all
this boivuty the/old king reposed on a silken
' '
couch betieath' 'tlio tree , while attendants
stood over him fo guard' his slumbers. Ono
at either side fanned him gently while ho
slept , and two soldiers stood guard against
any Intruders. The king was arrayed In
silken robes of scarlet and his crown of gold
lay at his side. His attendants were dressed
In the robes of their respective offices , all
being characterized by extreme 'richness.
The ninth float presented a scene which
very few who viewed the parade ever saw In
reality and which Is but written words to
most of the generation of today. It was en
titled , "Vanishing Races , " and presented
heroic figures of a mounted Indian and a
buffalo. The Indian was mounted ona
magnificent white horse and with spear In
poise , awaited the charge of the buffalo , who
with head lowered , was ready to settle Is
sues with his foe. The figures were well
moulded and true to llfo , and the poises were
natural and free. They represented the In
dian and the buffalo as the frontiersman
knew them , and not the docllo animal which
grazes quietly In a wire fence enclosure , or
the lazy , dependent redskin , who hangs
around the reservation to get his government
rations. One was Intent on securing the
meat which was necessary for his sustenance
nnd which no government acent will Issim
to him , nnd the other , with all the pugnacity
of his nautro aroused was ready to fight for
his life.
PORTRAYING EARLY WESTERN LIFE.
Float No. 10 was another scene from the
oirly life In the west , and was designated as
"Explorers and Traders of Another Era. " It
was a largo birch bark canoe , In which were
seated a quartet of the hardy voyagcurs who.
In iho days when permanent settlements
wcro nn unknown thing In the country west
of the Mississippi , went up anil down all of
the streams In search of fur-bearing ani
mals. The men In the canoe were clad In
the garb , half-civilized and half-modeled
nfior that of the savages who roamed over
the country , which 'answered their purpose
better than the efforts of the tailor would
have done. With paddles and poles they
guided their frail , light craft down the
stream , which was broken by rapids nnd
giant boulders which stood up out of the
turbulent waters ono false stroke ot tbo
paddle or the least faltering of the nerve
would precipitate them Into the current from
which their chances nt escaping alive would
be very remote. The scene and tlio figures
were typical of the hardy , fearless race of
men who blazed the way for the civilization
and the thrifty homes of the present. They
made the first paths through the wilderness
they made history , but the names of few of
them are recorded on Its written pages.
"Tho End of French Sovereignty" was the
title of the next float , aiencath an artistic
ally moulded canopy stood six men , clad In
the costume of the opening days of the
century. They were/grouped around a table
on which they had Just completed the signa
ture of a document which was destined to
revolutionize the ( affairs of the western
hemisphere. They were the representatives
of thu French and United States govern
ments , and tho-former. In behalf of Na
poleon , had just , < > cdc tbo title ot Louisiana
to the United States. Thus , , in 1803 , the stars
and stripes were given the right to float * over
all of tha vast domain stretching from the
mouth of the Mississippi , up Its west bank
and up the Mlssdi/rl to and embracing Oregon
and Washington. In the construction of the
design the maker btid presented some line
architectural offsets. The canopy was sup
ported by coluju/is . .surmounted by richly
curved capitals 4ml around the edge was ex
tended a frieze ofbold scroll work , the lines
of which harmonized 'Well ' with the remainder
of the design. ViM of' tropical plants adorned
the table and set off the surroundings of thn
room , relieving 'it1 from thu suggestion of
barrenness , yet without overcrowding.
Float No. 12 was In a largo measure fol
lowing up the themu of the preceding one.
In the year following thu cession of thu ter
ritory , I cwls and Clarke , olllcers In the
United States army , started out to explore
the newly acquired territory. They were
accompanied by a small party of picked anen
and ascended the Missouri to Its headwaters
and then crossed over the divide Into what
Is now Oregon. Except to the Indian , the
greater portion of the country was then a
terra Incognito , and practically none of It
was known even In a vague way , except tea
a few hardy fur hunters. The lloat repre
sented them standing on the deck of a xmall
craft rigged to carry a slnglu sail , along-
sldu of which a party of Indians had pulled
up their light bark canoru and the occu
pants , with pipes of peace In their hands ,
were welcoming the explorers. Thu explor
ers were clad In a garb which ls a mixture
of the then United States uniform , and tbo
costume of the frontiersman , while the In
diana were dressed as wag their wont before
they know of , or sought to copy , the habili
ments of the whlto man ,
MARCH OF CIVILIZATION.
In "Columbia at the Gates ot Nebraska"
wa\ ; \ depleted the progress of civilization. In
the foreground stood an Indian In front of
his teepee , his attitude defiant , determined
to protect from Iho Invasion ot thu Spanish
what ho considered his land and his home.
His crude education was no match for the
higher Intelligence of iho foreigner nnd ho
was pushed back farther and farther till to
tally subdued by the civilized nations. The
Spanish , however , were succeeded lu turn
by the French , and then the United States
soldier put In nil appearance. The blue
coats were located only at outposts at first
but as civilization advanced nnd the star of
empire pushed Itself toward the west.
Columbia put In her appearance. A knock
had been made at the door of the union , and
Columbia came to welcome the new state of
Nebraska Into the eternal bond of statehood.
The different nations which contributed to
the reclaiming nnd development of the state
were shown hy proper characters. First
there wcro the Spanish explorers and seek
ers after conquest ; then the French grena
diers protecting the rights ot property which
they had secured In all the west ; then the
union soldiers , who made their appearance
after the purchase of the Louisiana tract from
the great Napoleon. Development took
plnco undci each of the regimes , but , not so
swift as when the country came under the
control of the United States government.
Then It moved along In rapid stages until
the tlmo for statehood arrived. Here Co
lumbia was shown sitting on the escutcheon
of popular sovereignty , prepared to take Into
her family nil people who love liberty un
tainted by license , and who are possessed
of loyalty without proscription. On the rear
of the float wcro the figures , " 1S67 , " the
year Nebraska was admitted to statehood.
"The Great Seal ot Nebraska" was au ex
act reproduction on a greatly enlarged scale
of the legal Insignia of the state. It showed
up the characters represented much clearer
than on the seal as commonly seen , and un
doubtedly gave to these who examined It a
fuller knowledge of the extent of the rights
guaranteed to the people. The various
branches of labor were represented In the
possibilities offered to the Industrious , and
to all of them , tie matter how humble , was
promised through the great document of the
constitution , "Equality Before the Law. " In
the foreground stood the smithy , with
swarthy arm , welding the Iron which had
been taken from the mountains near st hand ,
while In thu front of his anvil was thu flam
ing forge , burning coal taken from the ad
joining side hill. Sheaved of grain standing
at ono side showed the position of agriculture.
In the state and including the farmer among
the favored sons of tlio commonwealth.
Trees proclaimed that In the state of broad
prairies there were still some forests , and
that the lumbermen , and those who thrive
by tolling in the dressed product of the for
est , wcro not forgotten. The river was
shown , which furnishes the > powcr for the
countless mills which dot the state , and
furnishes a channel for navigation and the
transportation of the products of the state.
Then there was the railroad , the advance
agent of civilization , with its army of em
ployes and Its wonderful power of develop
ment of the resources of the country through
which it passes.
AGRICULTURE AND COMMERCE.
The chief occupation of the people of the
now state was Illustrated In the mext lloat
which was denominated "Agriculture and
Commerce. " That the term was properly
given was shown by the unsurpassed ex
hibits at the State fair now In progress In
the city. At the most conspicuous point In
the front of the float stood a mammoth anvil ,
denoting commerce. Recumbent near It was
a huge sledge which would forge a weld be
twecn the manufacturing east and the pro
ducing west , and the cog wheel upon which
the steam ; nd water spenda Its power in
moving the machinery of the world. The
plow , whlcn has turned the sod of the wild
prairies and assisted In 'bringing it Into the
cultivated condition of productiveness which
has made the state famous , rested against
a mound of earth , while the people ot the
state are engaged In celebrating the return
ot prosperity. Mammoth logs , typifying the
possibilities of the north and northwest portions
tions of the state In the lumbering field ,
await the action of the saw to convert them
into shape to be used in constructing new
and better homes demanded' by the Improve-
Ing condlt'ons of the people of the slate.
Corn ami other grain , through which so
much of the best money ta the world has
been brought to the producer , are not neg
lected In the general makeup of the char
acterization of Nebraska's busy life.
The twri greatest discoveries known to
science were characterized by the next lloat.
These were steam and electricity. The first
revolutionized transportation nearly a cen
tury ago and the other has done a very sim
ilar work In recent years. The long tedious
years spent In developing the power of steam
were Illustrated by the representation of
James Watts sitting In front of his tea ket
tle , studying the wonderful vapor as It is
emitted from the nose of the kettle. One
article after another Is placed us a resisting
force upon the steam and found to be Inca
pable of restraining It , nnd the experiments
culminate In the steam engine which today
whirls people across the continent In a
i comparatively few hours. Back of this repre
sentation stood the figureof Benjamin
Franklin , kite In hand , watching the light
ning which is playing all about him. He
at lentrth connects with a current of Uie
electricity , and reveals to him the secret
of the power in this rcmarkabla element.
The progress made In the discovery Is car
ried out In the representation by telegraph
and telephone lines extending from one end
of the lloat to the other , and other wires
furnishing the light for the civilized world ,
as well as the now found power , the capa
bilities of which are still to be fathomed.
FLOWER OF THE PLAIN.
The Columbia band and a couple of mailed
and hclmetod knights escorted the seven
teenth float , "The Golden Rod , " The mounted
mon were the guardians of the beautiful
flower , which originally carpeted the plains
ot Quivcra and Is rapidly becoming the na
tional flower. The beautiful creation of na
ture was represented by n huge spray of yel
low blossoms and green leaves. Four
branches ran from the crest downward to the
ground and formed thus a natural bower. In
this nook n couple of Indian fairy queens ,
with wings and wands and shields of beetle's
wings disported themselves. Beneath this
throne were grouped half u dozen fairy sub
jects , two of them seated upon huge goldenrod -
rod leaves and ono at each corner resting
upon the broad back of a great Juno bug.
All of these sprites ot fairyland waved sprigs
of goldenrod in their hands. Other sprays
of the flower sprang up from the roar and
front and sides of thu float or crept along
about It. But whllo the goldnnrod Is queen
on the prairies of the kingdom of Qulvera ,
It Is but ono of hundreds of flowers that live
side by sldo with It , and these were repre
sented by a variety of different colored blos
soms , which crept all over the float.
Following this oldest product of the prai
ries of Quivcra , beautiful but practically use
less , came the newest product which Is des
tined to make the state of Nebraska oven
moro famous than Its corn tie | "Sugar
Beet. " Float eighteen was a magnlflcent
personification of this latest vegetable child
of the acres of the stato. A huge blood-red
bent , with great spreading green leaves ,
sprang out of the center. Beneath the
shadow of the big foliage danced and capered
four fairies of the beet kingdom. Their
bodies weru red beets and from the cluster
of leaves at the tops sprang out necks mul
heads , crowned with sugar loaf hats. From
the roots descended legs , upon which iho in
human sprites danced ami hopped in their
joy over the great possibilities they were
bringing to the land of Qulvera. Hero and
there from the ground jutted forth smaller
specimens of the vegetable.
As an Indication ot what a revolution the
sugar beet Is bound to bring Into the farm
er's llfo two prosperous countrymen es
corted tbo float. They wevo seated ii | on
well-fed and sleek animals and wcro rcund
and contented In appearance. Their cos
tumes of long frock coats , broad bUck 1 ats
and approprlato accessories were rich and
costly ,
RETURN OF PROSPERITY.
It 1s the lot at Individuals to have In their
lives periods of stagnation , despair and dis
couragement. So It Is with nations and ttaUvt
and so It has been even with the God-favored
land of Quivcra. whoso hUtory has been de
tailed In thu preceding scenes. A period of.
this character has pervaded the land during
past years , but the black clouds are now being
swept away , and once more prosperity Is shin
ing upon tlio land. That was the theme of
float nineteen. It represented the dawning of
pro'perlty. Upon clouds that weru sunlit , the
queen of the coming good times rode In
glory. Her robes were sparkling and gilt-
tcivd llko unto gold , To her right and left
were huge golden cornucopias , out of which
flowed gold rind silver pieces of money , gold
and silver grains and vegetables and flowers
of many hues. Above her head the rainbow
of hope , pictured In myriads of colors ,
spanned the heavens In broad lines as to bo
seen hy all. Before her In flight surged the
dark cloud * of distrust and stagnation , throw.
Ing out flashes of lightning to Indicate their
sullen rage. With tlioni they carried nway
thu bfokcn machinery , the blasted nnd drouth ,
stricken fields nnd the rusted tools that the
ilmtriictlvo Btorm ot hard times had caused
In order to make way for the plenty and the
business activity that Is coming. The approach
preach of this queen of good times was ap
propriately heralded hy two Ak-S. Men )
knights , who were attired In mediaeval cos-
turner of the royal colors. Her coming was
also ushered In to the music of the Second
Ward Military bnnd.
The culmination of the hopes of the sub
jects of Qulvern Is at present resting In the
great Trnnsntlsslsilppl Exposition next year
nnd consequently this subject furnished the
theme for the twentieth nnd last llo.il ns a
climax. The spirit bt the exposition rose
upon a high marble pedestal and was In the
form of. a handsome and richly attired Indian
maiden. At her feet sat the muses ot nrU
science nnd literature. The marble slab
upon which thcso figures rested was sup
ported by pure white columns , ono for each
of the transmlsslBslppl states which arc to he
represented at the exposition. Upon a rich
golden approach to this noble throne stood
two heralds , who trumpeted to the world the
Ir.vltatlon to take part In the show. The
whole scene was lit up with a red glare ot
light , which Issued from two htigo vases that
occupied the front end of the float. About
thu bottom ot Uio suggestive picture were
hung representations of the great seals of
the states ot the transmlsslsslppl region , all
In colors. Finally , to the rear and above all ,
the shining star of Omaha's future , with the
city's name emblazoned on Its face , so that
all might see , was rising upward to Illumine
all Iho world , Two horsemen escorted the
spirit of the exposition. One was gold , all
his attlro being of the precious metal and
threads of It streaming downward from every
portion of his body. Tlio other was exactly
alike , with the exception that ho was a
knight of silver Instead of gold.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 23. Referring to re-
portd brought by tbo steamer Peking that
the passengers saw a largo number ot well
drlled Japanese land In Hawaii under the
direction of a sergeant and divided Into
military squads , Mr. Durham W. Stevens ,
counsellor of the Japanese legation , says the
reports are untrue nnd are calculated to caiiBo
an unjustifiable Impression against Japan ,
Mr. Stevens cays no Japanese Immigrants are
allowed to land In Hawaii unless they have
previously secured the approval of the Ha
waiian Iminlgiatlon authority and they have
been previously engaged by the Hawaiian
planters. It Is Impossible , therefore , for
Japanese to land unless Hawaii desires their
presence. Persistent reports have appeared
that the Japanese wcro gradually and quietly
building up a strong military establishment
In Hawaii , but Mr , Stevens gays all these
reports are false and prejudicial.

MUNYON IS HERE
And Will Distribute Absolutely Free 6,000 ,
Routes of HiJ Wonderful Rheumatism
Cure from the Offlco of the World-
Herald , Commencing Monday
ill , Sept. 27 , at 9
O'clock ' , for This
Day Only.
To the Editor of the World-Herald Dear
Sirs : About two years ago I communicated
to you the fact that 1 had discovered a posl-
tlvo euro for rheumatism nnd requested the
press of Omalm to Investigate tlio murlts of
my remedy hy distributing 10,000 free trial
Vials , and then sent a reporter to Interview
those who had taken the medicine.
As a result of this Investigation thousands
of persons In Omaha nnd surrounding towns
reported that they had hfen mired , alM the
final showing proved that my Hhcumatlsm
Remedy cured over 9G out of every 100 who
used It.
The public spirit nnd liberal manner In
which you assisted In this Investigation leads
mo to hope- that you will again nld the cau&o
of medical science by making another test of
the same kind. I address you In the hope
that you will glvo publicity to my claim. I
am well aware th.it In making the bold asser
tion that I have discovered < i positive euro
for rheumatism there will nrlso n strong
doubt In the minds of the public ns to the
truth of this statement , and that a largo
majority of the people will class this now
tllscwery with the Koch lymph failure and
the Brown-Sequard elixir of llfo delusion.
It Is to overcome this priijudlco that 1 In
voke the aid of the press. I court the fullest
Investigation under your direct and personal
supervision. I would suggest that the fairest
nnd surest way to test the utlleloncy of this
remedy would b0 for this company to send
G.OUO bottles to theolllceof the World-Herald
nt whatever tlmo may bo selected , there to
b ? given out absolutely free to all persons
mulcted with rheumatism ; that 'ho nnmo
nnd mldreos of each person who accepts the
remedy he given , and at the end of ono week
a reporter be detailed to Interview the parties
who hnvo taken thu medicine , and that the
results of each case , with the special per
mission of the parties Interested , be published
In the dally papers. ly this means thcro
can be no deception or fraud , and the vnluo
of this remedy will stand or rail upon the
testimony of those who have tried It.
Improbable as.tho statement may s cm to
you , or to those who have doctored for y.'ars
with the most skilled physicians wl'hoiit
bunellt , yet I nlllrm , and nm prepared to
prove by over 250.000 pcoplo whom wo hnvo
cured , that this remedy will cure ncntc or
muscular rheumatism in from ono to ion
days. It never falls to euro sharp snooting
pains In the arms , legs , sides , back or breast ,
or soreness In any part of the body. It Is
guaranteed to promptly euro swollen joints ,
stiff back and all pains In the hips or groins.
It seldom falls to glvu relief after ono or
two doses , nnd almost Invariably cures before
ono bottlu has been taken.
We do not claim that this remedy will cure
rheumatism where the limbs aru twisted out
of shape , or where the disease Is compli
cated by a scrofulous dlatlush. but by n care
ful record wo find that this remedy falls to
euro In only about 5 per cent of the cases In
which It has been tried.
One of the strongest recommendations for
this remedy Is that It Is absolutely harmless ,
and that a person , can tnke the whole con
tents of n bottle without the slightest 111
effects. Unlike the medicines used In ordi
nary practice for the euro of rheumatism ,
such as Iodide of potash nnd salicylic acid ,
which irritates the stomach and kidneys and
disorganizes the general system without ef
fecting a cure , thi remedy acts as n strong
tonic , and is Invaluable In building up weak
and debilitated people.
llellcvlng that there Is no cause so holy and
Inspiring , no vocation so lofty and ennobling ,
nothing so sure of man's gratitude and God's
blessing as an honest effort to relieve suffer
ing humanity , 1 beg to remain , yours truly ,
JAMES M. MUNYON.

KUItl.KS SIM3AICS AT A
Deliver * mi After Dinner AtlilroxM at
a Di-iivcr Kuiirlloii.
DENVER , Sept. 23. Comptroller of the
Currency James II. Eckels was the guest of.
honor at a banquet given this evening at
the Hrown I'alaco hotel by the Denver
Clearing House association. Ono hundred
distinguished citizens of Colorado , hankers ,
statesmen and others , wluwo names arc as
sociated with the upbuilding of thin city and
the state , were present.
Comptroller Eckels made nn after dinner
speech , to which close attention was paid
by his auditors , and at Its close he wan
warmly applauded. Mr. Eckels began b-
emphasizing the fact that citizens of a.I
parties of the country are actuated by Mio
same oplrlt n desire for the good of the
whole country and Hint no matter how
tierce the fight between partisans might bo
waged , thorn It ) no danger of Its weakening
the foundation of the republic. After plead
ing for a continuation of the feeling of
mutual confidence so long maintained be
tween the east and thu west , he said :
"It would not do for the east to boast
of Its possession of the surplus capital of
the country , which has come with ago nnd
thrift and opportunities , or the west lo
point with overwhelming prldo to Itn stu
pendous resources ocul Ita wonderful ad
vancement. The wealth of the one but con
tinues to diminish if not employed , and
that of the other ID of no avail If nut de
veloped. The advancement of both follow *
the same pathway and centers In the same
Interests. I have tonight no pic-a to make
for the country's accumulated capital upon
the one hand , nor for Its undeveloped rlche
an the other , except the pica that at a tlmo
when wo are entering upon an era of hotter
things they may bo brought nearer together
and not driven wider apart. It Is a plc&
consonant with the dictates of tni/lnf < a judg
ment and accords with common sense , It
Is a protest that may well bo uttered ! > r
citizen ! ) everywhere , no matter what the
mnasiiro of their Interests or the financial
tenets to which they bear allegiance.
"I nm not unmindful of the fact that
largo majority of the citizens of this state
feel that they have , In the economy of com
merce , been sorely Injured In ono of their
ireat ; wealth producing Industrie. * , if such
i result ban followed , they have not been
left wholly without compensating benefits ,
nor have they Buffered more keenly
than at various times In the conn ,
try's history have others who have
embarked In other lines of undertaking.
Clio Idw of the commercial world , through all
Its history , is proven to bo a law of con
tinual change. More than once New England
itnd the cast have been compelled to yield
to other bfctlons of the country's great in-
lustrlcH which their people had hoped to
build up on for the future and In the yearn
to come , I doubt not but that other and
greater changes will come upon them. It
Is not without the range of portability that
the Carolina ! may draw from Masiachusetts
the cotton mills and the itau.t of Tennessee
ind Colorado from Pennsylvania the ttccl
and Iron Industrie : . Hut If they do , follow
ing the llriu of economic truth , eomo lieu- de
velopment will bo fostered which will inora
than make adequate reparation for a seem
ing Irrepurablu loss. If the citizens of Colorado
rado have tuffered , dtttpltu the fact ho can
jotst a territory more nearly possessed of all
he thlngi essential to tbo aupport of a people
than any state within the border * of th
jnloo. " | ,
