They in turn wore followed by 100 of the Omaha High school cadets- under Captain Ten- Dyck. The boya who received the applause and the bouquets were last in the division. They were the members of Company L , Nebraska's fighting First. There were thirty of them and they were In command of Lieutenants Tompsett and Colcman. The boys wore the uniforms ot the Filipino campaign , brown duck trousers , blue blouses nnd brown slouch hats. They marched as they fought straight and to the line. Everybody made room for them and cheered thorn at , they passed. Orcnulzcil I/tihnr Turn * Out. The second division consisted ot the labor organizations nnd trades' unions of the city and a considerable number from South Omaha. Many of the organizations wore distinctive and picturesque uniforms and the others were badges and carried banners. Ono of the most effective displays was by the retail butchers , who were mounted and clad In white nulls with red , green and yellow sashes. There were about one hun dred of them. The tailors turned out to the number of eighty and the carpenters and joiners In somewhat less numbers. The retail clerks covered more ground end made more nolso than any other or ganization. They had a practiced yell , and carried banners with various admonitions to the buying public printed on them , among which were several touching on the early cloolng question. The Switchmen's union was represented by about fifty men with rod and white lanterns , with which they displayed the signals they are accustomed to in the yards. The clgarmakcrs wore rep resented "by a float bearing some of their number. The Journeymen horscshoora S marched In red sweaters and uniform caps nnd small red oprone. They were followed by the master horseshoers , mounted. The 'Allied Printing trades were represented by a float in which the Interior of a printing shop was ehown with cases nnd a small press. The fact that the fraternal orders and the trades' unions were parading on the Bnmo night prevented many ot the unions from being represented as they would oth erwise have been. A large proportion of the members of the unions took part in the displays of the fraternal orders. Krntcrnnl Orilcrn nnil I > oilKcn. The third division , composed entirely of fraternal orders and lodges , was led by a long column of Elks , who made a novel and brilliant appearance In dress suite. They carried walking ntlcks and numbered about fifty. They were followed by two camels from the Midway , upon which were mounted the leaders of the long string of the Dramatic Order of Knights of Khorassan. The knights wore vorl-colored nnd fantastic costumes nnd attracted great attention. The many bodies of the A. O. U. W. came next , Joking up7a block of the parade , exclusive 2Df the uniform drill teams of which there J were four or five. A handsome float was part of the Workmen display. Degree of Honor No. 173 , its members dressed all In white , had a showy float In line and subordinate lodges followed. ' Banner Lodge No. 11 , Fraternal Union of 'America , filled two carriages heading the largo representation of that order. A number - ber of floats bore members of several dif ferent lodges appropriately dressed. The Bloux Indians of the Exposition came as heralds of the nedmen and Daughters of Pocahontas following. Ilcal Indians nnd . lodge Indiana were both mounted and BO similarly dressed as to deceive the spectator tater nt first glance. Alfretta Council No. 3 was on horseback , while the sisters of Mln- nobaha Council No. 2 occupied a large tally- ho. A stage coach full of squaws , real or Imitation , Srought up the rear , its occu pants nt times breaking Into song. . The Modern Woodmen ot America and ai- Dllatcd organizations made n splendid showIng - ' Ing , both in regard to numbers nnd to nniforms nnd floats. Their column was led ' by a float representing the pastoral scenes ' . This followed of n woodman'n life. waa by Omaha Camp No. 120 and Its drill team and the other drill teams of the Omaha battalion. The following branches of the order were in line : Ivy Camp , noyal Nelgh- ! bors ; Beach Camp drill team , the champion of Nebraska ; Pansy Camp , Violet Camp and other ladles of the Royal Neighbors In carriages.

Their drill teams came first nnd was followed by the ladles of the Woodman Circle In a decorated wagon nnd other branches of the order. Officers of the W. O. W. in regalia stood upon a float. Two floats bearing their members repro- onotcd Dewcy Tent , Knights of Maccabees , and Lady Holllstor Hive , Ladles of Macca bees. These floats were Illuminated with colored fire.

Members were the regulation blue coats trimmed with black braid , trousers of white duck nnd they car ried the emblematic axe , executing ma neuvers along the entire line of march. The various camps of Royal Neighbors made a pretty showing , all the members being gowned in white , wearing trl-colored eashea over their shoulders and carrying wands wound with ribbons ot the colors of the order , The camps represented are Golden den Rod camp , Pansy camp , Ivy camp and Clover Leaf camp of South Omaha. They numbered forty mwnbcre. The Tel Jed Sokol , Uohcmlan turners , mus- tered1a representation of about fifty. They were nattily svttlred in caps nnd coats of blue with breeches of white. The Orpheus Signing eocloty marched twenty-six strong , wearing plain black suits. X The Woodmen of the World band of twen ty-one musicians attired In uniforms of ma- rcon and white preceded the fifth division. The drill teams representing Omaha , Alpha , Sovereign , Seymour and Druid campe , pre sented a aplendld appearance In uniforms ot blue and white. The subordinate camps marched next in order , the members wearing thu''plaln . ' every-day nttlre with large lapel- otto * and badges. The officers of the differ ent camps led the van in carriage ! . The "Ducking Billy" ot Seymour camp caused laughtiT all along the line by its Judicious antlca. The goat waa ornamented with ribbons from < tbe tip ot Ita horns to Its tail. It was tied on the top of a small cart guarded by keepers and manifested an uncontrollable deelro to butt something al all times. The degree teams of Omaha and Alpha camre , In their ceremonial robes , occu pied eeivts uu flouts eoxceoualy decorated with BtrrAtnB of maroon nnd jr/llo-tr. / Ths mem- jcr of Woodmen Circle rode in carriages , numbering about fifty. The uniformed rank ot the Knlghto of the Uaccabccs presented an Imposing appearance n the handsome unlformR of navy blue trimmed with gold braid. They wore plumed helmets. They carried swords and their drills along the line of march elicited continued applause. The knlghta numbered about twenty. Two of the most striking floats tn the parade wore those designed by the members of this order. The first was a large tent surrounded by knights in uniform and { nights wearing the ceremonial robes. The float was manned by the members of Dewey , Omaha and Gate City tentn and was drawn by four white horsca hooded and blanketed n white. The second float was a monstrous ilve. The figures arranged about it were the officers of the women's organization , dressed In white. White steeds dragged this float also. It was the contribution of Laurel , Lady Holllstcr and Date City hives. The different lodges ot Odd Fellows turned out to the number of nearly a hundred , The Daughtcra of Kcbckah , in carriages decor ated with stream era , followed , The Knlghta of Tabor In blue uniforms and plumed , liolmets , preceding the Daughters ot the Tabernacle , gowned in whlto and riding in carriages came last in order. READY TO RECEIVE THE KING The Grcnt AU-Snr-Ilcn V In Dtie to Jlitke HIM Hoynl Entry Into the City TonlKht. The bolts and bars ot the gates to the city have been slipped and everything is in read iness for the triumphal entry of Ak-Sar-Ben V. It Is down upon the walls that ho will arrlvo at 8 o'clock , and Sanson has com manded that all knights and the members of the common people , young and old , great and small , turn out and bid his royal hlgh- nera welcome. Ak-Sar-Dcn does not come like a thief In the night , but Instead his approach to the gates will bo heralded by outriders who will blow long blasts upon their trumpets , sum moning the people to the business portion of the city , over the streets of which ho and his hosts will march or rldo upon great Illuminated chariots which will glisten with burnished gold and silver. This year the floats which will bo seen In the parade will bo more magnificent and beautiful than these of any former year. The uniforms of his soldlera and knights will bo moro gorgeous than over before and , taken all In all , the parade wlH bo the grandest that has ever been witnessed in the west. For this occasion the railroads have made greatly reduced rates and it Is confidently expected that this afternoon and tonight the city will bo crowded with strangers from the surrounding states.- The Ak-Sar-Ben parade will pass over the same streets aa that of Tuesday night , and will make ono halt that at the city hall , where Mayor Moorea will formerly present the koya of the city to the king. " - - ' - ' ? ; ; SOUTH OMAHA NEWS , Friday evening at 6 o'clock the Board of Education committee on text books will meet at the office of Superintendent Wolfe to listen to the arguments of a number of copy book salesmen. There seems to bo a disposition on the part"of several teachers to change the style ot copy books and Superintendent Wolfe favors the Idea. He , however , does not- Tecbmmond any particular style ot book. A lively fight is predicted , as no less than five copy book agents are hovering about for the purpose of attending 'this committee meet ing. ing.The old problem of typewriters also pre sents some difficulties , but this subject has been worn threadbare and is not considered of much importance any moro. The Oliver company has not , up to this time , supplied desks for the machines furnished and this is greatly desired by the superintendent. It is understood thati the Oliver company agreed to supply desks for each machine at the time the purchase was made nnd a notice of this omission will bo given. The subject of Instituting a night school has not been seriously considered as yet by the board , although Dr. Wolfe called atten tion to the matter at the lost meeting. More than likely some report will bo made next Monday on thla subject , as It is deemed of great importance. Many youths who are compelled towork are expected to take ad vantage of the opportunity it It is offered and Superintendent Wolfe la in favor of giving his plan one or two months' trial at il east.

The ma jor portion of the crowd was made up of strangers. The day waa disagreeable- windy and dusty yet the people went to one and another of the features afforded for their entertainment and seemed to enJoy - Joy the program. The concert by Bcll- atedt's band drew n large crowd at tha Auditorium In the afternoon at 3:30. : The next thing to draw the crowd was Alferno on the high wire over the Lagoon , and the blowing up of the Maine and the sham bat tle claimed the attention of the spectators for a time later on. In the evening the chief attraction was the military and fraternal parade through the Arch of States and Administration arch on through the Midway. SCENES ALONG TUB , MIDWAY. The Improved Attendance n noon < o tlie CoiiccsMlonnlrcn. The good-nlzed crowds of the pas/t week hoe had n rejuvenating effect on the show men ; and the substantial way in which they have been , remembered is conducive to good tempers and pleasant smiles , as all the shows with a reputation for doing a legitimate busi ness have been doing a rushing business. At the scenic railway the trains were con tinually crowded , the people never seeming to tire riding around to the Battle of Manila und through the dark tunnel and it was no strange eight to see the same Jolly crowd making the rounds the second and third time. At the Deep Sea Divers Captain Louis Sar- cho gave special exhibitions of diving to the bottom of the sea , recovering dead bodies and raising the sunken warships , the cap tain was the principal diver engaged by the government to ralso the bodies of the vic tims of the Maine disaster. As all the work Is done In a largo gloss aquarium ono can obtain a very comprehensive idea of the work. .

For the benefit of the Ak-Sar-Ben visitors the Old Plantation has made an almost com plete change of program and ono of the most taking acts is the Hula-Hula capo walk , made famous during the past few weeks by Bollstradt'fl band , the on tire company of sixty-two people taking part in this' per formance. The opening ot the viaduct restaurant and cafe by genial Fritz Mueller bids fair to become as popular as the Schlltz pavilllon nt the other end of the midway , ns everything Is done for the welfare of the guests.

Eckerman Duff Their Yellow Stripe * . The guards all appeared Wednesday with the yellow stripes removed from their trous ers , as per order of the captain of the guards , Sergeant Hayes. Heretofore the men who police the grounds have worn yel low stripes and have had brara badges and brass ornaments on their helmets , but all this is changed under the new regime , and they now look llko real , live policemen with their blue uniforms , plain helmets and stars. Another change made is that of the promotion of Sergeant Hayes to be cap tain of the force. Owing to the high wind whloh prevailed Wednesday night It was considered ilun- Kf > roua to give the grand display of lire- works advertised. This feature will be given on an enlarged scale Friday and Sat urday nltfhtP. Through omo misunderstanding a number - ber of i > er ons purchased tickets Wednes day night for admission to the Auditorium to hear the band concert. Such a proceed ing was considered an umisua ! occurrence and It developed that It was unauthorized. The authorities of the exiKisltlpii btopped the sole as soon us they learned of It. Superintendent Burns of the Department of Conceptions requests nil of those- who pur chased tickets to call at hi department ami receive a rofuiul at Uia money COLD DECK FOR POPULISTS Democrats IIin to Trade Other Candidates for Powar and Broadwcll. THEIR ALLIES BEGIN TO SEE THE POINT Scheme lo Ool IVipnllnt nnil Silver Hc- liulillcnu Vote for Dvmnurntn mill Cut < hc Itcitt of Oie Ticket. The county campaign IB still In Its Inclp- lency , but It hna gone far enough to make one or two things perceptible. One ot thceo Is the fact that the democratic steering com mittee Is preparing to play the same old game at which they have hoodwinked their allies on previous occasions , and work the fusion program for the exclusive benefit ot ono or two preferred candidates. H IB a mat ter of current Information among those In the confidence of the leaders that the order has been promulgated In certain quarters to bend every energy to the election ot Power and Broadwcll , and to sacrifice the other candidates wherever it will strengthen the favorites. This situation Is not entirely unexpected by populists who have been closely con nected with former fusion campaigns. They assort that It Is nothing more than has been done by democrats in every case , but this year It Is aimed to work the scheme on n moro extensive scale. The result Is that It has been impossible to keep the plans en tirely secret , and the improslon Is gaining ground among the populists und silver re publicans that they aro' billed as vlctlins of ft huge political confidence game in which the democrats hold all thecards. . In this case the stake Is well worth striv ing for and certain elements ot the situation are calculated to assist the democrats in their purpose. They figure that Hofeldt Is reasonably sure of re-election , and this would enable them to retain their hold of the Board ot County Commissioners. With the sheriff's office and that of the clerk of the district court in their possession , they would practically control the county organi zation and patronngo and this would bo M powerful weapon for use In the next na tional campaign. None ot the democrats familiar with Douglas county politics expect to bo able to elect the whole fusion ticket. Their only hope Is to combine forces on ono or two candidates and endeavor to pull them through at the expense of the others. They core little what becomes of Charley Curtis and the other populist and silver repub lican nominees If they can accomplish their main object and elect democrats to the two most Important offices in the county. They do not oven propose to waste time and effort to elect Fred Elsasser , their own candidate for county treasurer , as they regard the Bherlff and clerk as decidedly more Impor tant. Elsaseer was nominated , In accord ance with an eleventh hour suggestion ex clusively as a bait for the German voters , and they are perfectly willing that a re publican treasurer should bo elected If they can gain a few hundred votes for Power and Broadwcll. While the mass of the voters who are al lied to the democrats In the campaign are Btlll deluding themselves with the belief that their candidates are to have an equal chance with the others , the active politicians are 'beginning ' to see unmistakable evidences of the real situation. They are not willing to dlscues the matter openly thus early In the contest , but they declare that if the present democratic program is carried out they will retaliate in a manner that will not be to the advantage of the candidates for whom It Is proposed to sacrifice .bplr representatives. The feeling that already exists is manifest In the extreme difficulty that the democrats are encountering in settling the county Judge proposition. No secret is made of the fact that Martin Langdon proposes to stay on the ticket unless the populists recelvo some substantial assurance that democrats will treat them fairly. The democrats frankly admit that the county judge proposition 'is the most serious question that confronts them at this time. It la not that they care a tinker's anathema whether Langdon or Burnam , or cither of them , are elected , but they fear that , unless the complications are adjusted , the growing antagonism will result disastrously to their own candidates. They Incubated a plan to retire both the nominees in favor of J. W. Carr , but the populists emphatically refused to consider the proposition. Langdon says that ho will not retire In favor of any one unless the democrats give some mighty sat isfactory explanation of certain suspicious circumstances , and his party , as represented by ita county committee , seems ready to back him in his position. The democrats are now feeling the populist pulse with a view to ascertaining how a proposition to retire both candidates in favor of a democrat would be received , but the idea has received very mea ger encouragement. The populists assert that they did a very handsome thing In pull ing oft their candidate for county commis sioner in the Third district , , and that their action deserves better treatment than they are receiving. The Fifth ward democrats , nnd some oth ers , are much exercised over a controversy that has arisen in connection with filling a vacancy from that ward on the county com- 'mltteo. ' It is a question of the supremacy of Walter Moiso as the Dick Croker of the ward , and present indications are that Molse has the best of the argument. At the county convention the Fifth ward delegation agreed on A. A. Artor , an antl-Molso man , as their commltteoman , and the democrats who op pose Molso congratulated 'themselves that they had turned him down to stay. But their felicitations were short-lived. When the county committee met Molso was In close conference with eomo of < the leaders , and , after the doors were closed , the committee proceeded to repudiate the action of the con vention nnd elected Peter Ilomaclo , who was recommended by Molse. The news of this by-play bos Just reached the antl-Molse democrats and they assort that the commit tee will either reconsider and endorse the action of the convention or get into trouble. Meanwhile Colonel Molue complacently Htrokcs hs ! blonde mustache and Inquires when these young men got into politics any how. + - HEARD ABOUT TOWN , | - < -4 > 3 & ft O < - "If the entire elate were aswell repre sented In Omaha now as the western portion tion is there would bo more people here than the city could accommodate , " said George H , 'Willis , a prominent merchant from Chadron.

A sufferer from Varicocolo is subject to a con stant drain upon his vital strength. It is an ex- Imusting , undermining disease , and every day that it exists is a menace to health. It destroys the strength and energy of thousands of men , and few of them really know what it is that ia breaking down their vitality. The veins become swollen , the blood con gests , the vital strength drains away , and soon all power of manhood is gone. This awful disease can bo cured.
