LINCOLN , Sspt. 20. ( Special Telegram. )
A flower parade , probably the most attrac
tive feature of the street fair , come today
as the climax of carnival week. The spec-
tnclo of a hundred or moro vehicles all
gaily decorated with varl-colorcd flowers
and drawn by prancing and well groomed
Jiort.cs slowly passing In procession through
dense crowds and under handsome arches ,
was something that had never before been
witnessed In Lincoln. The crowds were
larger than , on any previous day ot the
fair and everybody enjoyed the occasion.
The day opened fair and cool , a froih
brcezo blowing and floating clouds temperIng -
Ing the sun's fierce rays. It was just such
weather an best suited the crowd and did
nway with the necessity of using fans and
umbrellas. Them -was little dual , not
withstanding that street sprinkling was out
of the question after the people had taken
possession of the thoroughfares. Old glory
floated on the breeze , from every house along
the line of the proowslon and from every
booth In the street fair district. Bunting
and multi-colored decorations added to the
carnival scene all that anyone could wish.
The women , notwithstanding the cool
weather , did not forget to wear their pret
tiest gowns , all adding color to the moving
scene. Everybody was gay nnd pleasure
hunting was the pursuit of Lincoln's visi
tors.
The I lnp of Mnrch.
The line of march extended through the
principal down town streets and name of the
residence portion of the city. At the state
capltol tha procession was reviewed by Gov
ernor I'oyntcr and state officials with their
wlvoj. The Judigcs ex-Governor H. II.
\ Shcdd of Ashland , C. A. Robblns and Albert
n \Vatklns of Lincoln nnd C. B. Letton of
* Kalrbury also viewed the procession from
this point. The parade was scheduled to
start at 3:30 , but thcro was the usual delay
and the command to move was not given
until shortly before 15 o'clock. Anxious pco-
plo had been waiting In the streets for
several hours to wltnoss the procession of
flower-decorated vehicles , and when the pa-
-'rado finally began to move a loud cheer
rolled along the street as a signal for tha
approach of the pageant. Applause was fre
quent along the line and occupants of car
riages which met with the approval of the
onlookers responded with smiles. All who
participated In the affair were gaily dressed
In either white or other light colors.
The parade was led through the densely
crowded streets by a platoon of police , fol
lowed by Mayor Wlnnett riding a prancing
and artistically decorated horse. Next came

the street fair committee , but as soon as

As the public schools are closed for the

plosive canes.
Many strange things happened that were

BLAIR , Neb. , Sept. 20. ( Special Tele
gram ) . W , J. Bryan arrived in the city to
night from the north and was met at the
depot by about 300 people. Republicans were
there aa w ll as fuslonlsts , but the bulk Of
the crowd was made up of women. After
supper Mr. Bryan was escorted to the opera
house and before entering made a short ad
dress to about 400 who were waiting on the
outside , not being able to get Into the hall.
After closing hla remarks to the outsiders
he proceeded to the stage In front of the
assemblage , largely woman , numbering In
all about 800. Here he began his regulation
tirade on the Income tax , the election ot
United States senators by direct vote of the
people , free silver , trusts , size of the standIng -
Ing army and Imperialism ,
It was the same old story that has 'been '
hammered at by .every street corner orator ,
and Bryan added nothing to It , tor In no
case did ho explain a remedy. He did per
sist that wo had no business to get Into the
Philippines , but now that we are In wo
should get out like Americans. No explana
tion was given as to what he meant by this.
Thcro was no enthusiasm to speak ot ; a
llttlo cheering sprung up occasionally , but
died In Its Infancy. There were as many
republicans In the audience as fuslonUts ,
but the largo part ot the audience was com
posed of women. It was predicted that 10-
000 people would grost Bryan here , but not
to exceed 1,200 showed up. The day has
been a disappointment all around and the
only good done has been that the curiosity
of some people to see Bryan has been satis
fied.

OAKLAND , Neb. , Sept. 20. ( Speclal. ) W.
J. Bryan spoke hero this aftnrnoon to about
1,500 , mostly republicans. His applause came
mostly from republicans. He touched upon
trusts , imperialism , and the free coinage of
silver , pointed out the alleged faulty legisla
tion of the republican party , but offered no
solution. As usual , his salf-hcraldcd work
on the .Income tax while In congress was
dwelt upon. Those 1n attendance were
mostly farmers , who had never heard Bryan
nnd came partly out ot curiosity. Much
regrgt and disappointment was expressed at
the logic of the speaker. Llttlo Interest was
taken rtn what Bryan said. Ho advised
everybody to votetor Holcomb so that the
supreme court would decide against the
majority.

event was without any demonstration and
Bryan waa at Joss to account for It. Very
few even went forward to shake hla hand.
This was Bryan's first trip through Burt
county.

LINCOLN , Sept. 20. ( Special. ) It has
been reported that the cmptojcs ot the
new Itisurnnco department haVe contributed
toward the expense ot contesting the quo
wnrranlo proceedings Instituted In the supreme
premo court by Auditor Cornell. Deputy
Commissioner Bryant will appear In behalf
of Governor Poyntcr In the case and will
probably be the only "counsel. As to the
charges Mr. Uryaut today said :
"Tho statement that employes In the now
Insurance department have been asked to
contribute to the expense of defending the
Weaver law Is positively untrue. The state
should not put under necessity any
man for defending a law out of
his own prlvnte means. I believe
that a man should hold office be
cause of his ntnoss and not for Imaginary
political services or for conducting the
stato'n litigation out of his private purse.
However , I will do nil that I can as a law
yer to maintain the law. "
A few days ago a representative ot a
proposed Insurance'compauy called upon
Deputy Insurance Commissioner Bryant
and asked him to Inspect their articles of
Incorporation. The articles provided for
the perpetual existence of the corporation.
After a personal conference with the gov
ernor and with Attorney General Smyth ,
Mr. Bryant came to the conclusion that he
could not riccnso the company to do busi
ness In Nebraska unices the corporation
