The subject of the float was a huge dragon with eyes thai emitted fire and ft tongue that had all of the appearance of a long forked flame. The monster rode his platform In a manner Indicating that ho had just emerged from hi den , a cave ot great brown rocks that hid from view a portion of his body. The dragon was n most fero cious monster and on It was drawn up the street email children got out of the way , evidently thinking that the thing was alive. On the top of the dragon rode "Nosmas" In all of his glory , carrying In his hand a wand which ho waved toward these whom ho recognized In the crowds , on the re viewing stands or In the windows of , the buildings along the streets over which the parade wended Its way. The tfclrd float In the line was one that mndo the old-tlmo Tjaso iball players think ot the days when the national game was run on Its merits and was In the zenith of Its Klory. This float was designated as : "Ye National Game of Ye Undo Samuel. " On the front of the float were three base balls , each as largo as a haystack and as natural ns life. On the .balls wcro diamonds laid ofr In green. The catchy part , however , was the umpire and hli > surroundings. This Individ ual , wearing a mask made of a bird cage , oc cupied a perch at the rear of the float and was protected by n small castle , constructed of largo Iron bars , from which Iron barbs pointed out In every direction. Ho was clad In heavy bullet-proof armor and for his oiwn protection swivel guna , dynamite guns and several kinds of rapid firing magazine guns protruded their muz- clos from the fortification nbovo which he cat. Along the route ho pulled a big bell , brought his artillery Into position and In a voice that meant .business gave his com mand : "Play ball ! " AVnll Street Rniuc. Float No. 4 was dedicated to those who have made and lost millions playing the market * . On the card It was designated as. "Ye Wall Street Game ot Yo Bull nnd Ye Bear. " To really appreciate the theme one would have to go onto the board and watch the manipulations of stock , bonds , grain and provisions. In the center stood a largo red bull , his back literally filled with darts , ar rows and spears. His nostrils emitted flame * of fire , while his eyes shone like stars. Back nnd forth he stalked along his narrow con fines , using every effort to gore a couple ot harmless ibears that always managed to keep JUat out of his reach. The lambs of the street were always visible , but , like the bears , they always managed to keep Just out of the reach of the bull that occasionally worked himself into a frenzy. At the back of the float was erected rather an attractive lobby , occupied toy a number of beautiful maidens , who applauded and cheered Mr. Bull on as he tried to break away and do violence unto his tormentors. The next float was suggestive of the days when Omaha was a wide-open town and when the lair of the tiger was pointed out by these who were cappers for the gambling houses. It was named : "Yo Royal Tiger and Yo Roaring Flush. " It was the delight of all who ihavo over possessed any Inclination to bet their money on the green. The front of the float was a great roulette wheel , bril liantly Illuminated nnd marked In "strict accordance with the regulations. Over and nbovo this crouched a Bengal tiger , con- Btantly on watch , guarding the piles and etacks of ipoker chips , the Jack pots and the full hands that were everywhere visible. Be hind the tiger and high upon the rear or the float was a roan who dealt stud poker with all the caao and grace of one born in the business. Close 'by he kept a couple ot rakes which ho frequently used to demon strate what Is meant by the "rake-off" and back of all of this was a royal heart flush , < the cards being as largo as four-sheet post- era , while to cap the climax ho had arranged a sot ot crap dice , the size of dry goods boxes. It was not necessary to have a diagram with the sixth float In tho-parade. It wab down as : "Skipping Yo Rope at Yo Texas- Necktie Party. " The scene was laid in Texas. On the float were a couple of Texas ponies , a Ibed of cactus , a party of cowboys , with a short stubby tree and a man who han boon too familiar with horseflesh as the central figures. The plot to the story wa easy to understand. The luckless Individual who was gagged nnd bound hand and foot had etolen a horse. Ho had been tried by the cowboy Jud&o and a cowboy Jury had re turned a verdict of guilty. The rope thrown over the limb of the short and stubby trco plainly told the story of the fate of the thief. As ho writhed on the- floor of the float nnd mumbled out a prayer It was evi dent that ho hadi repented of the folly of fate ways and was asking for Just one more chance. Ho told something about a wife and n little curly-haired boy In one of the states of the north , 'but ' this did not melt the heart of the Judge. The man bad com mitted a crime moro heinous than murder and was ' sentenced to pay the penalty. Delimit of the FUhermen. The seventh float was one that brought out the man who Is In the habit of telling flsh Btcrlee of the days when North Omaha crook was alive with the members of the finny tribe. It carried the name : "Ye Patient Angler , " nnd represented a flsher- CAUGHT A NUHSE. Didn't Know Old JCIiiif Coffee Hnil Her. "Tho duties of professional nurses call them among a gneat many different people , and It la surprising to know bow many are suffering from the use of coffee , which Is the primary cause of the majority of many nervous disorders My own experience haa teen such that I < t < * l that I can speak with eome knowledge of the aubjoct "For about ton years I was afflicted with a eorcro nerrous disorder , which was so great that elocp became an unknown thing to mo without the use of opiates , I was a confirmed coffee drinker at this time , but had never thought that had anything to do with the difficulty. "After coming to Chicago to live I was told by an acquaintance , who had been a olmllar sufferer from nervousness , that ho discovered It was caused by the USD of cot- tea , and when ho made that discovery , gave up the coffee and took up the use of Pos- tum Ftood Coffee and was completely re- etorod , His argument Bounded so logical I was dfitermlned to make the experiment , nnd to my surprise , upon leaving off the V. coffee habit I commenced to Improvo.

AR he sat on the moss-covered ground and cast his line out over the water he naw enormous trout , croppies , pike , nllvcraldes and pickerel , alt eager to take the bait. Hardly would his hook reach the water be fore It would UB taken by some fine fish and carried out from shore. By hard work ho would land the flsh , take It off the hook and throw It Into a basket by his side. The basket , however , never filled , for high above him and unknown to him n large hog would make Us appearance , slip down the bank , rob the basket and return to Its hiding place without being discovered. All along the line of march this fisherman fished and all along the line of march this hog robbed the fisherman nnd nte the catch , When Gus Rcnze built the floats for the parade It Is almost certain that ho had In mind some of the Omaha huntere when ho constructed No. 8 nnd called It "Ye Tire less Hunters. " While ho will not say so , It Isflurmlscd that ho received his Inspiration from something that ho saw. The float car ried upon Ho front a couple ot Jack rabbits ns large as yearling colts. They were rest ing beneath the shade of n tree , while a few feet away were a couple of hunters ar rayed In good clothes , resting on the grass and sampling the contents of a monstrous lunoh basket , filled with tempting eatables nnd drinkables. To all Intents and pur poses they had spent part of the day chasing the game and had about concluded that It would be easier to purchase than shoot the needed supply , as back of them on the rear of the float was a market , with the sign : "Open Sunday , " end on the shelves of which were chickens , ducks , plgeonn and all other birds and game that the most enthusi astic hi'nter might desire to secure nnd take home to the members ot an unsuspecting family. While the ninth float was known as : "Yo Cold Deal In yo Game of Sledge , " there was nothing about It to suggest gambling. Ap parently the plot was laid In the Klondike country , ns the greater portion of the float was nn Iceberg , blue as Indigo , while hid In Its depths were Incandescent lights , throw ing a snowy color upon the edges ot the manufactured Ice , In fact everything about the float looked cold enough to freeze a Lap lander In short order. On the apex of the berg there was a sledge drawn by a relndew , and flrst upon the surface was lying a poor Individual , wrapped In lurs , and behind marched an Eskimo , who was doing his best to make it as cold as possible for the rider. Around many of the floats there were tropical plants and verdure , but on this there wan nothing of the kind , yet at the rear and not far distant were a couple of white bears which ever seemed anxious to take a blto out of the Eskimo and the man who was In his charge. FOP Foot Hull I'lnycrn. Tenth In the procession was nomcthlng that was highly suggestive of foot h ill days and the treatment that the long-lnured boys receive after being carried to the Improvised hospital on the gory field. The float took on the name of : "Yo Wounded Foot Ball Player. " It represented the Interior of a palace where the knight of the pigskin re clined on a couch. Standing over him was a surgeon with a knife as long as a scythe , ready to amputate a leg that was five or six times Its normal size. The man with the defective leg was swathed In cloths and bandages , looking every bit ns though ho 'had ' gone through a hard fought battle in the Philippine war. Inside the palace were many femalce , all anxious to lend a helping hand to relieve the sufferings of the wounded man. On the front of the float was a statue holding aloft a lorco foot ball , while nearby was a bottle fully six feet in height , presumably containing liniment or any other old thing that might bo used on a cold day during the progress of a hotly contested game between an evenly matched pair of elevens. "Ye Confidence Game of Chris Columbus" was portrayed by tbo eleventh , float. A man who may have looked something like Chris topher Columbus" occupied an easy chair In the center of the float. On a stand In front of him he had an egg that would have made a meal for 1,000 men. Ho had broken the end ot the egg and was explaining how easy It was for a man to make the oblong stand , Just as Columbus Is said to have done when he was at Barcelona , Spain , some centuries ago , when ho was inducing the queen to pawn her Jewels In order to raise money to be used In fitting out a ship for the pur pose of making a voyage of discovery. On the float to the rear a great rooster stood and a hen sat , watching the antics of Chris topher and apparently feeling satisfied with the results. On the rear of the float a largo monument was erected to the memory of Co lumbus , and on either side was Inscribed "Anno , 1492. "Father and Mother of the Egg. " People have read stories ot the pranks that years ago the cannibals played with the sailors who happened to drift upon the Islands which the former occupied , and the twelfth float was dedicated to these canni bals and these sailors. It was designated as : "Ye Cannibal Folke and Ye Sailor Manne. " In the foreground and In plain view of everybody there was a big Iron kettle , presumably containing the remains of some unfortunate sailor , ns there were others sitting around watting their turn to be boiled Into soup. Under tbo kettle there was a flro built of togs and sticks , while around danced a number of half-naked savages , singing songs and having all kinds of fun , every now and then Jabbing a stick down Into the kettle to ascertain how the eoup. was coming on and what progress was being made In cooking the man. Everything about this float was tropical. There were palm trees , animals and birds , nil unknown to this section , none of which seemed to pay any attention to the scene that was being enacted about the kettle. ncwey'M Grent Feiit. The float which was thirteenth in the line and which was dubbed : "Yo Shooting Match by George Dewey , Esq. , " probably evoked as much , If not more enthusiasm than any thing upon the street. All along the line ot march It was cheered. It represented Ad miral Dowoy's morning work In the harbor of Manila when ho sent Admiral Montojo's fleet to the bottom of tbo bay. On thla float there was what appeared to bo a body of water on which proudly sailed the Olympla , Its guns pointing out and bristling In every direction. Scattered along the bottom of the bay lay < the hulks of the vessels of the navy which was the prldo of Spain , while others were beached upon the shores , partially Im mersed. Down at the bottom and sitting on the edge of a cliff , eat Old Neptune , fork In hand , meditating and looking as though he was pretty well satisfied with what Dewey had accomplished as an appetizer for his breakfast. To mnko the scene appear more realistic , coral reafs and blocks ot coral were scattered about the plaoo where the vessels wont down and among them sported flsh ot a dozen different varieties. While It was not of a warlike nature , the fourteenth float made people think of the war that Is now being waged in the Philip pines. This float was designated : "Aguln- aldo Hunteth the Eagle. " Notwithstanding the title of the float there wore many things about it that indicated that the eagle had , beoa hunting Agulnaldo and that the great American bird had found what It we.nt after. On the floor of the float there was , the figure of a man who would be , If erect , fully fif teen feet In height. This figure was resting on Ita bands and feoti while hovering over It was an fiaglo with a spread of wings ot not less than twenty feet Tbo bird bad Its beak burled In the slack of the pantaloons of tbo figure and was shaking It much us a dog would a rot. Around tbo eagle were a number of Samron'a men , applauding the efforts of the bird and urging U OB to do Ita beet In the way of bringing the obstreperous Filipino to Uncle Sam's way of thinking and looking at things. The Uit float in tbo parade was the ono mod In the Initiation of candidates' for hon ors and wan officially doclgnatrd as "Ye Gentle Amusements of "Vo Nosmas of Yo Den. " There was not much to It that the members of the common herd could appreci ate. , but to the knights rwho had been through the mill and were full-fledged It meant n great deal. The float carried the buttlns goat and a whole lot of machinery used In making candidates wish that they had never applied nt the portals of the castle ot Sam ' son. There was the rack nnd n dozen In struments of torture that have been used from time to time , nnd Just to give the worldly people something of nn Idea how Sameon ntns his ( business when ho Is feelIng - Ing llko himself.

No wagons of any klndl except floats will be , given a place. IiielilciitN Aloni ; the Line. The police kept out all kinds of cheap ad vertising tlmt usually seeks to break Into parades. The patrol wagon brought up the rear of the procession , being out to pick up the Injured , but Ita services were not required. It was nearly 2 o'clock this morning be fore the streets were cleared of the crowds. The cars ran until the last straggler was taken home. "Beats anything * that wo ever had. in our town , " remarked R. H , Lee , a St. Louis man who watched the parade from a veranda of a hotel. The Indians from the exposition grounds viewed the parade and Little Wound , speaking for the party , rnmnrked : "Heap b > lg thing , 'but too hard for Indian to un derstand. " One of the features of the parade was the music. The bands which furnished It were ; Union. Junior Military , South- Omaha , Columbia 'Military , Seventh Ward , Alpha Camp , Woodmen of the World ; Citizens' , Swedish .Military , Blair Military and the High School Cadets. A fire alarm turned In from Sixteenth , and Cass streets while the parade wau passing caused dome-thing of a stampede. The prompt action of the police restored quiet before anyone was Injured , The Ilro was caused by some bunting that came in contact with a g-as Jet. No damage , "The Hlirh school kids caused us moro trouble than the parade and the people put together , " remarked one policeman to an other as they met on a corner when the crowds began to disperse. The second cus todian of the. law said he guessed the state ment voiced the opinions of the entire force , as most of Ills efforts had been ex pended holding the boys In check. While Ed Tuttle allowed his horse and light buggy to stand for an Instant some , of the cadets used a sharp knife on the harness , cutting the straps , so that when Tuttle again got Into the vehicle and started to drive away the buggy stood stlil and the horse trotted down the tre t , Tut tle gave chase and caught the animal at the corner of Sixteenth and Douglas streets. Before the parade reached Its destination five of the magnificent Heats were wrecked along the line. The flrst accident was at Sixteenth and Capitol avenue , where one of the Iloats encountered a small obstruc tion and broke a wheel , The emergency wagon containing tools and extra rigging was brought Into requisition , but the break could not be repaired and the float was ihauled to ono side of the road , Further along the march four other wagons broke down and were dragged out of the line. The driver of a beer wagon left his team standing near the corner of Tenth and Douglas streets , Ho was driving a load of beer kegs numbering about fifty. A party of cadets saw in the deserted wagon an opportunity for sport and they lost no time constructing a barricade across the road way. When the obstruction was completed one of the number stepped Into the saloon where the driver was enjoying a friendly chat with the bartender and told him the team had started away without him. The driver reached the door In time to see the rear of the wagon disappearing around the corner. Before he caught tip with It the van of the parade reached the fence of be r kegs nnd a halt was necessary. Whenever the pnrado had passed a par ticularly crowded corner the crowd made a swift rush for a new point of vantage from which to eee It again , Kvery time this re sulted In such n. whirlpool of people that dozens were swept along against their will In the opposite direction from which they were trying to go and often people strug gled desperately to maintain their footing. It was BO with the crowd or throw your arms nround n telegraph pole and Jiang on. But as everyone was out to see the excitement and bo In It severe Jolts and boisterous jostling wcro exchanged with laughter.

During the year ending November lost , vlie Church Extension society assisted In the building of 47S churches and from the tlnik of Its organization , thirty-two years ago , has aided 11,000 churches. "Tho scope or our field , " said Dr. Spencer , "has been greatly Increased during the past few months. When Admiral Dowey's flag Bank for the last time nt suusot In Manila harbor the sun was but two hours high on the coast of Maine. Instead of our field being con fined to -width of 3,000 miles , as It was but a few months ago , It has widened until now 14,000 miles Jnterveno between the eastern and -western boundaries. America has taken her .place . along with Great Ilrltaln in the vast domain of the world , nnd It Is now impossible for the sun to set upon some part of her possessions. The addition or these new countries under our flag has transferred them from the mission to the homo field and the propogatlon of the gcs- pel In the providing of houses in which the people may -worship God rests with the Church Extension society. Instead of the Missionary society. Even now wo have re ceived appeals from the West Indies for aid In the amount of $5,000for the erection of two churches , ono In San Juan nnd ? he other at Ponce. I tell you , brethren , i.- those now .possessions . of ours over become harmonized and civilized , to say nothing of evangelized , the aggressive Protestant bodies of America must take tllo van In bringing these people to Christ and this is abso lutely Impossible unless churches are pro vided in which -worship may be carried on. " Development of XcIiriiNkn. Dr. Spencer spoke of the marvelous de velopment of Nebraska along religious lines , especially referring to the Methodist denomination. When the population of the state was only 30,000 one out of every twen ty-eight belonged to the Methodist church and the census of 1890 showed even 11 greater increase In the ratio. He said that It was a hobby with him In h'ls work as secretary of pie board o church extension to assist in the erection of small churches , Inasmuch as it Is in the rural districts where the greatest gains In membership arc made , and the progress of Methodism demands that churches be built on the frontier to house the many unsheltered congregations. In speaking of the great work awaltlnp Methodism In the recently added possessions , Dr. Spencer expressed the belief that It was through the providence of God that the doors of heathen lands had been opened by violence lence nnd war In order that In their wake Christianity should follow to sweep away the anguish and bereavements and bring Into the fold ot Christ's kingdom countless numbers of converts. In his opinion Ameri can Methodists wMl not bo laggards in ac cepting the now responsibilities which have been heaped upon them , but will stand at the head of the column , meeting all dlffl- cultles , overcoming all obstacles In order to accomplish the -work of bringing many converts to Christ among the new subjects of American rule.

Is it any wonder they break down under 4 the strain ? firs. Anthony Sutler , Crestline , Ohio , writes : "It would be hard to explain to you my condition before using your Vegetable Compound. I was a great sufferer of kidney trouble and head- ( ache. On rising in the morning I was always tired and sleepy , and never felt like doing my work. Since taking the Compound I feel like a new woman. I sleep well at night , and can work all day without that tired feeling. I have advised some of my friends to try it , and we all feel thankful for the benefit we have derived from its use. May God bless you for the good you are doing the poor , suffering women.
