thing It was. 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-

"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. This
Improvement has continued until now I am
In complete health and sloop well and nat
urally. I always advise patlcnU suffering
from nervous trouble to abandon the use
of coffee and uuo I'ostum , for I know what
J am talking about on that subject.

man sitting on the bank ot a deep pool.
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.

Notice has been given by the ofllclals of
Wednesday night's parade that no adver
tising schemes 'will ' be allowed In the pro
cession. 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.

blowing of whistles and ringing of bells.
The demonstration was arranged by Mayor
Moores In accordance with a request from
New York that Omaha do Its part in hon

The eighteenth annual session of the

and the usual custom of holding a social turn
welcoming gathering on the evening prior

Tuesday night , when Dr. William A. Spcncor
of 1'hllndclphla , secretary of the Church Ex

Most ot the Methodist ministers who be

listeners Inst night when Dr. Fletcher M.

The nddrcas of the evening J y Dr. Spencer
had relation 'to ' the business side -of Meth
odism and the wonderful 'progress ' ho re
ported In the work of church extension was
ample reason for the decided optimism
which was so marked on the part of the
speaker that It became noticeably Infed.'oUb.
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.

Women who have leisure find it hard to
combat the ills to which all women are subject ,
but the shop-girl must suffer and suffer , and
keep on working.
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. "

DEAR MRS. PINKHAM
Four years ago I had almost m. I
given up hope of ever being .
well again. I was afflicted
with those dreadful headache
spells which would
sometimes last three
or four days. Also
had backache , bearing- ffi
down pains , leucorrhoea -
rhoea , dizziness , and
terrible pains at monthly
periods confining me to
my bed. After reading
so many testimonials " s Sr
for your medicine , I J
concluded to try it. irr ?
began to pick up after
taking the first bottle , and
have continued to gain
rapidly , and now feel like a
different woman. I can
recommend Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound
in highest terms to all sick
women.
Miss C. D. Morris , 3 Louis-

writes :
" DEAR MRS. PINKHAM I have been using
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound i
and it has helped me wonderfully. I was troubled !
with headache , backache and that weak and tired
feeling. I cannot say enough in praise of your
medicine for it has done me so much good. I shall
recommend it to all my friends who suffer. "
The lives of working-girls are im-
pdrtant lives. To continue at work I * - " %
without proper treatment is heroic but : c
it is wrong and results in complete
loss of usefulness. Mrs. Pinkham's help can
be had for the asking , and her advice will
tell you how to keep well and strong.
"i Am So Glad That I Wrote to You. "
" DEAR MRS. PINKHAM I want to thank you for what you
have done for me. When I wrote to you last June , I was
almost a total wreck from female weakness. I was troubled
with irregular and painful menstruation , leucorrhma , bearing-
down pains , soreness , and swelling of abdomen ; pain at right
and left of womb ; headache , backache , nervousness , and
could neither eat or sleep well. Since taking Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound , Liver Pills , and using your Sana
tive Wash , I do not feel like the same person. J am so glad
J wrote to you , for you have helped me very much. "
