Samson , the lord high chamberlain to
King Ak-Sar-Ilen V , has Issued an order
directing thnt the coming week bo ono of jny
nnd pleasure throughout the entire kingdom
of Qulvora and that all the subject * ) , high and
5ow , bo ready to pay homngo to the monarch ,
who will enter the gates of the city next
Thursday , accompanied by thousands'of his
minions , all of whom will parade the prin
cipal thoroughfares , keeping step to the
blare of trumpets and the strains of music
furnished by a dozen brans bands.
During the last four years the street
pageants put on In connection with the fall
fostlvltles have been features that have
brought thousands of strangers to the city
and this year the parades glvo promise ot
capping the climax. T&ey will bo richer nnd
moro magnificent than nny heretofore seen.
In the poet tbo floats have been Illuminated
by lamps carried nt the sides , but this year
ft dlffctcnt plan 'has been adopted and elec
tricity will bo ueed for the purpose. Here
tofore the floats In the grand pageant have
been prepared with the view of telling ot
epochs 1n the history ot the country , but this
year each ono will represent a scene In sorao
popular comic opera.
An the Storr C.OCH.
There IB a pretty legend connected with
the society of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben ,
which word la simply Nebraska spelled back
ward. As the legend goes , centuries ago a
band of bold mariners Balled from some
country In the old world and landed upon
this continent when the greater portion of
Its surface waa covered with water. .They
passed over the Atlantic ocean nnd Into the
Gulf of Mexico. Later they continued their
voyage through a great Inland sna , which
has slnco become the Mississippi river. Fol
lowing this sea they came to the Missouri
river and sailing up It llnally located In ono
of the southern counties ot this state , where
they established the kingdom of Qulvcra ,
which flourished for several centuries , be
coming very populous and wealthy. The
people of the kingdom of Qulvcra were
peaceful and not skilled In the arts of war ,
as were the tribes Inhabiting the territory of
the ncrth. Just ns the kingdom ot Qulvora
was In the zenith of Its glory these warriors ,
who were as numerous ns the blades of grass
upon the prnlrlcs , swooped down upon the
peaceful people , waged war against them and
peen swept them from the > face of the enrth ,
leaving none to tell the tale.
Some years ago , It la asserted , that a
band of explorers traveling through the
southern portion of this state , discovered
tablets of brass , upon which was written
the history of the Kingdom of Qulvera. Let
this ba as 'It ' may , five years ago a number
ot the business men /took the cue and
organized the society of the Knlghta which
has slnco flourished , and has had a great
deal to do In promoting business enterprises
and In a general way advancing the com
mercial Interests at the city. This year
there are about 1,200 knights enrolled , nearly
all of whom are in some way or another
connected with the 'business ' affairs ot this
city nnd South Omaha.
The lirst parade of the festival week will
bo put upon the streets next Tuesday night ,
leaving the Twentieth street castle at about
7 o'clock. It will bo made up of comle
floats , the Idea of each being the concep
tion ot Chief Artisan Renze. A description
ot thcso floats at this tlmo would be giving
away the secrets of the order , which are
always held most sacred. However , It may
'bo truthfully said that they will please nnd
entertain , as well as amuse those who see
thorn. All these floats are highly colored
and built along lines that are entirely new.
The title float Is , of course , the gem of the
lot , and carries this Inscription upon cither
nldo : "Quaint and 'Morrlo ' Sports nnd Pas
times for yo Education of ye Young and
yo Old. By yo King's Command. " The
names of the other floats follow : "Nosmas ,
Sovereign Protector of all Sports , " "Ye
National Oamo of yo Uncle Samuel , " "Yo
Uoarlng Tiger and yo Hoynl Plush , " "Skip
ping the Rope at a Texas Necktlo PartV , "
"Yo Patient Angler , " "Ye Tireless Hunters -
tors , " "A Cold Deal In a Oamo of SleJge , "
"Ye Wounded Foot Hall Player , " "Amuse
ment for yo Sailor Man , " "Ye Confidence
Game ot Chris Columbus , " "Ye Shcotlng
Match 'by ' General Dowcy , Esq. , " "Agul-
naldo Hunteth yo Eagle , " "Gentle Amuse
ments of yo Xosmas of ye Den , " "Yo Wall
Street Game of ye. Hull and ye Dear. "

Wednesday evening the military , fraternal
nnd civic parndo will bo upon the streets.
Tula will undoubtedly bo the longest parade
of the wools , ns It will Include about all ot
the military , fraternal and civic organiza
tions of Omaha , South Omaha and Council
Bluffs. TJio members of'a great many of the
organizations will appear In full uniform
or regalia.
Conservative estimates place this parade
lit D,000. Lllui the former parade , It will
bo under the general direction of the
Knights , but will have Its own marshals.
Thursday evening the grand electrical
pageant will traverse the streets. This Is
the parade In which the Knights feel such
n deep Interest. Each float will bo drawn by
four 'horses , abreast. The animals will bo
led by uniformed slaves of Samson and the
king , whllu on cither side their will bo out-
riders , nil wearing the rich uniform of the
order. At the head of the parade the mem
bers of the Hoard of Governors will ride.
They will ho costumed In coats of bright
scarlet , whlto trousers nnd ccckado hats.
The uniform will bo resplendent with gold
Inco and Jewels. In this parade there will
bo twenty finals , on the second of which the
king will ride. Relative to the description
of the floats the members of the committee
having the matter In charge refuse to talk.
They take the position thnt the floats have
boon gotten up on a most magnificent scale
nnd It Is bettor to have them como ns a sur
prise Instead of giving the public an Idea
of their general appearance. Suffice It to Bay ,
however , that they will fully como up to
the expectations of the people who have
been waiting for months to see them. They
will bo manned by not Irss than 100 clfs ,
sprites , witches nnd gobllne , nil of whom
will make merry ns the procession passes
along.
CelM I Inioldeit Key.
Llko the other parades the grand pageant
will pass over the principal streets ot the
city nnd will bo reviewed at the platform
In front of the city hall , which will bo oo-
cupled by city , county and state official ? . At
this point Kltig Ak-Sar-Dcn V will receive
the keys to the city. This ceremony will
bo participated In by the mayor and ether
city officials. Upon the pageant turning onto
Farnam street , the grand mufti and Samson
will 'leave ' the procession nnd rapidly rldo to
the city hall , where they will announce that
the king has passed through the gates and
Is Insldo the city. The mayor will bid him
come , after which the two officers of the
court will return to their royal master and
Inform him of the reception that Is In wait-
Ing. The pageant will then continue to
move up Farnam street nnd upon reaching
a point In front ot the reviewing stand will
halt. Thcro the king's float will be brought
In front of the mayor , who , with great dig
nity , will present n large golden key , which
will bo handed to Samson , who In turn will
deliver It to the king , who will bow his
thanks and appreciation. At no tlmo will
the It lug utter a word , as It Is a part ot tbo
plan to keep his Identity a. secret until after
tbo ball , whichx occurs on the following
night. After the pageant leaves the review
ing stand It will pass out Eighteenth street
to Douglas , to Sixteenth , and out this street
to Cumlng , proceeding from there to the
castle.
For these parades the streets down town
nnd many of the principal public and private
buildings have been Illuminated by the
placing of thousands of arc and Incandescent
lights , thus turning night Into day. All
along the line of march over which the
parades will pass rows of lights have been
hung , whllo at the Intersections arches have
been constructed. Bach night these lights
will burn from dark until midnight.
The crowning event of the festival week
will bo the coronation ball nt the cnstlo Fri
day night. It Is 'expected that fully 1,000
couples will attend. At the ball the king
and the knights will attend in full uniform.
After they have entered the hall and
marched around the Interior , the king will
select from the nudlenco some woman , who
will Ibo escorted to the throne and there
crowned as queen. Who this woman will bo
Is ft secret that Is not divulged. After the
crowning of the queen dancing will begin
and will continue until morning , with a
short Intermission for supper.

FUNERAL OF REV. MR. KUHNS
ScrvIucH Conducted by llln Former
Annoclnten In the AVorU ot
HlH Church.
The funeral of Rev. Henry W. Kuhns was
Leld yesterday afternoon from Kountze Me
morial Lutheran church In the presence ot
friends and acquaintances so numerous as
to entirely fill the large building. The serv
ices 'were ' In charge of Rev. Dr. Rhodes of
St. Louis , Rov. S. B. Barnltz of Des Molnes ,
Hev. L. P. Ludden of Lincoln and Rev. Ed
ward F. Trefz of Kountze Memorial church.
The deceased having been one of the old
est settlers In Omaha , Itwas but natural
that men advanced In years as ho was
should 'bo ' most numerous among .those who
gathered about his coffin. The pulpit nnd
the organ loft were draped In black and
decorated simply with flowers. As the pall
bearers bore the casket Into the church ,
preceded by the officiating clergy , and fol
lowed by the family and the Intimate friends
who had been present at the private serv
ices at the homo , Rev. Trcfz read the beau
tiful verses from scripture "beginning " , "I am
the resurrection and the life. " The casket
was deposited before the pulpit.
Rov. Ludden road a passage from the
scriptures. Rev. Dr. Rhodes , long an as
sociate of the deceased In the -work of the
church and familiar with hU many activi
ties , delivered the sermon. He reviewed
the life of the deceased briefly and took it
for a text from -which to draw an Inspira
tion to the clergy upon the meaning of their
high office , and a lesson to their charges
upon their relations to the leaders. Rev.
Kuhns heard early the divine call and It was
a real call , not to bo disregarded. Ho was
sent by his church to superintend Its work
In Nebraska when Omaha 'was ' but an In
dian trading post , and the Dakotas , whore a
part of his work lay , still wilder. But the
outcome proved that the trust could not
have 'been ' imposed upon a more devoted era
a more capable servant of God. Twenty-
five churches were his legacy .to the gen
erations. It Is Impossible to estimate hid
deeds , the centers of Influence which ho
started In motion ; the effect of his having
lived will never cease.
Dr. Rhodes referred to the part Hov.
Kuhna played In the establishment of a
state Institute for the deaf and dumb , and
related the Incident which led him to take
up work In that connection. When a mem
ber of the school board In this city ho was
appealed to by the parents of a small deaf
and dumb child to aid In Its education. The
appeal , the speaker said , could not have
been rondo to a kinder or more willing heart.
The noble Institution of the present was
the result of the Impulse. Rev. Kuhns felt
'when ' he listened to the appeal of the
troubled parents.
Rev. Kuhns , the speaker said , was a man
of Infinite tenderness and Kindness of heart.
Ho had lived his Ilfo 'from beginning to last
free from reproach.
Rev. Dr. Barnltz paid a moro personal
and Intimate tribute to the- memory of the
deceased , after which Rev. Ludden read a
eulogy of tbo life and character ot Rev.
Kuhns from bla old congregation In Greenberg -
berg , Pa. The casket wns then uncovered
and the audience filed past It.
The honorary pallbearers were the fol
lowing : Herman Kountzo , J , N , H , Patrick ,
B. B. B. Kennedy , Captain Rustin , Samuel
R. Burns , Howard Kennedy , Rev. L , Groh ,
Rev. O. W. Snyder. The active pallbeareru
were J. F. Wllhelmy , George A , Hoagland ,
C. N. Dletz , Denlse Ilarkalow , Prof. Gll-
lesple , Richard Withnell , Ed Haney , M , H.
Collins. Hymns were sung by the church
quartette and the closing one by the entire
audience , Interment was made at Forest
Lawn cemetery , where Sirs. Kubna was
burled a year ago.

Saturday was a day sot npart , a red letter
dny In the exposition calendar , for the Midway -
way , both East nnd West , hnd the dny nil to
Itself , nnd In consequence there was something -
thing strange , unique and blznrro for the
spectators. To set the ball to rolling there
was n great parade through the streets ot th
city , starting from the grounds at 12 o'clock
noon. Heading this pageant ot all nations
was a military procession of Thurston Itlfleo
nnd Omnha Guards In the blue of the nrray
nnd following these were the younger
generations of soldiers In the gray of the
High School Cadets.
In the wako of the military men came ti ! <
Midway Itself , decked In gorgeous array and
making a spectacle the llko of which has
never been seen In the streets of the city be
fore. Peoples from Cuba , from the Philip
pines , from Samoa , from Hawaii and from all
quarteis of the g-lobo In their own peculiar
costumes and in'blts ' , were In the parndo.
Animals from the tropic as well ns the frlgla
zones and many other strange attraction * !
new to the eyes of Nebraskans added more
variety to the strnngo procession. Floata
representing the different concessions on the
Midway some represented by beautiful
women In handsome costumes nnd others b >
men In outlandish nttlre attracted much at
tention. Bands of music and' ' urum corps nnd
nolso-maklng fake bands all added to the
grotesqueness of the scene. After marching
through ithe main streets the peculiar'
spectacle returned to the grounds , where
grand free exhibitions were Riven , and the
day was turned over to the Midway conces
sionaires.
Among those who were conspicuous In th&
parade were Fred Cummins , at the head , ana
Major Wllcox , grand marshal of the day , Thi ,
executive committee occupied a carriage and
bowed right and left to the assembled multi
tudes.
The largo crowds In the afternoon were re
galed with a good program , consisting ot
races on the race course , a concert by Bell
stedt's band In the Auditorium , rope walking
by Alfreno over the Lagoon and an Indian
sham 'battle on the Bluff tract. In the evenIng -
Ing there was another concert by Bellstedt's
bar l on the i'laza and the popularity of that
organization was again attested to by th
very largo attendance nnd the careful at
tention given to the music. At 8:43 : Alfreno
walked the high rope and gave a meet novel
exhibition. Fireworks had been arranged BO
that a cataract of flames would stream from
the rope to the water of the Lagoon below ,
and whllo this was In progress Alfreno went
across the seemingly burning rope amidst
the npplnuse of the spectators.
Later there was a grand display of fire
works at the fireworks enclosure , and some
very beautiful pieces were set off. To bring
the day to a brilliant close a grand ball of
all nations was given In the Dairy building.
Tils part ot the program began at 11 o'clock ,
and It was a very strange and beautiful
sight that met the eyes of the beholders
as the people of the Midway took places on
the dancing floor to the strains of sweet
music. Fair Turks In Oriental costume el
bowed with the dusky damsels from Cuba
and the Philippines , and people from far
Egypt danced with liver-colored Samonn ,
It was a melange of nations , and the glit
tering aascsn.My looked like a fancy drcfe
ball , save that the dancers were not en
masque. The fun .was fast and furious , and
It was very late , or rather , early , before the
last echo of dance music was hoard and the
flash of the last twinkling foot was seen.
On the whole the day was a very great
success , and there was a good attendance to
witness the attractions.

At last the two large viaduct restaurants
are to bo opened , Mr. Fritz Mueller of Schlltz
pavilion fame having rented nnd refurnished
them new throughout for a flrst-class restau
rant and cafe. This will bo welcome news to
Omaha people especially , for last year this
was one of the 7nost popular places on thtf
( grounds 'for ' refreshments and a moment's
rest , for fortunately they nro so arranged
that ono can obtain a fine view o'f the
grounds and at the name tlmo enjoy the band

Ono of the chief attractions nt Hagenback's
on the West Midway Is Ham , Jr. , the missing
link. Slnco the first history of the world tha
question , from whom did man spring , has en
gaged the attention of the greatest savants.
To Prof. Dnrwln does the credit belong In
discovering the real missing link , Ham , jr.
Never "before " has such a remarkably strange
animal been exhibited before the public In
this part cf the country. Captured on the
Island of Borneo leas than two years ago
Blnco coming to America ho has delighted
ana aswntsnea thousands of tlio most In
telligent people of all classes'at the exposi
tion ,
The Infectious laugh of the real "original
package" southern darkoy never falls to at
tract the attention of any crowd. The nntl'-s
of a number of the performers from the Old
Plantation who took part In the parade ycs-
terday ecemed to attract as much attention
as though they were In their own theater.
This Is ono of the places on the Midway
that seems to plcaso more people of all
classes than any other , people seemingly
never getting too old or dignified to laugh
at their original nonsense.
The blowing up of the Maine by Captain
Louis Sorcho on the Lagoon the last week
was the most realistic entertalnmnnt given
by the management this season. The cap
tain Is a "hcadllner" In his profession , beIng -
Ing the principal diver who recovered the
dead bodies from Havana harbor , and his
performance ot the Deep Sea Divers Is one
of the most Interesting and Instructive on
tbo Midway.
Twlco around for 10 cents Is the cry of

At a meeting of the Sixth Ward Repub
lican club Saturday evening a resolution was
p.iftsod and subsequently laid on the table
endorsing itho candidacy of W. F. Johnson
for member of the school board. On motion
of D. J. Smith t'ho exprtisslon of the ward's
sentiment , waa held In oboyanco until a
larger gathering can pass ou it , owing to
itho suggestion by ono of tbo members that
the colored people are entitled both to rep
resentation on the board and the ward's on-
dorwement of their candidate.
The school board election was the topic
chosen by all the speakers for political com
ment. When President P. . B. Carter called
the meeting to order the hall wns com
fortably crowded , but the attendance was
smaller than usunl , many of the word poli
ticians ' having taken n day elf and gene < to
Haeti'lngs In attend the street fair. J. Smith
said ho thought the club would like to hear
something about the school board candidates
and ho called upcn W. F. Jc'hnson for a
short talk by way of opening.
Mr. Johnson said ho was ! n the canvass
not because ho had other political aspira
tions , but bucauso 'ho wns Interested In the
schools and had children thorr. Ho pledged
friendship , If elected , to the conscientious
teacher and janitor , without reference to
politics , By way cf conclusion ho told ot
his republican antecedents. Among other
speakers on the question were Alex Chaile-
ton , J. Smith and Hev. I aroy S. Hand.
When thho last speaker finished George 13.
Collins asked for the club's endorsement of
a colored candidate. Mr. Collins t > ald the
colored people fek they were entitled to rep-
rescntatlon on the ecliool board , precedents
along thin line having been established In
other cities. He said the colored men would
go to the convention and ask for a member
on the board. J. Smith then offered tha resolution
elution authorizing the club'a endorsement
of W. F. Johnson's candidacy. After It was
passed D. J. Smith's motion was offered and
carried , providing that it bo laid on thu
tablo.
Speochta by the judicial candidates were

I slated by committees selected from the dlf-
| I i feront parishes of Omaha and South Omaha ,
I i The canvassing of the parishes has already
I begun , and from the Interest manifested It is
| i beyond doubt that the fair -will bo markedly
j successful. Everybody Is dlBposed to lend a

I ' vasalng , others by giving donations cither In
i cash or articles to be put up for chances ;
othora atlll by using ithelr iperaunslva elo
quence on these who have a superabundant
of the world's goods , and 'Who % are perhaps
'bankrupts ' In charity. But all , both young
and old , rich and poor , may contribute to th
fair's success by making It popular , by being
in sympathy ivith It and by being eager to do
something for It. The money made at this

A COMMON
MilIVnr from It Without
UN llcnl Churn i ! I i-r.
No trouble Is moro common or more mis
understood than nervous dyspepsia. People
having It think that tlielr nerves are to
blame , are surprised that they nro not
cured by nerve medicines and spring reme
dies ; the real seat of mUchlef Is lost sight
of ; the stomach Is the organ to bo looked
after.
Nervous dyapoptlcH often do not have nny
pain whatever In the stomach , nor perhaps
any of the usual symptoms of stomach
weaknws. Nervous dyspepsia shows lleelf
not In the stomach eo much nx In nearly
every other organ ; In some cases the heart
palpitated nnd 1 Irregular. ; In others , the
kidneys are affected ; In others , the bowels
are troubled , 'With loss of flesh nnd appe
tite , with the accumulation of gas , sour
risings and heartburn ,
Mr. A. W. Sharper of No. 01 Prospect
street , Indianapolis , Ind. , writes as fol-
JOWH : "A motlvo of pure gratitude prompts
mo to write these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine , Stuart's Dys
pepsia TablcU. I have been a sufferer from
nervous dyspepsia for the lust four years ;
have used vnilous patent modlclnex and
other remedied without any favornblo ro-
HUlt. They Eonictlmen gave teniM | > rary relief -
lief until the effects of the medicine were
off. I attributed this to my sedentary hub-
Its , being a bookkwpor with Jlttlo physical
exercise , but I am glad to state that the
tablets have overcome all these obstachM ,
for I have gulned In flesh , sleep better and
am bettor In every way. The above Is
