the Thurston 'Rifles , forty-five men , In
command of Captain Hayward , while be
hind them marched the Council Bluffs
High school cadets lo the number ot sixty ,
commanded 'by Captain Wolch. 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.

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

J were four or five. A handsome float was
part of the Workmen display. Degree

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

battalion. The following branches of the
order were in line : Ivy Camp , noyal Nelgh-

there were a great number , were led by
their own band. 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.

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

pied eeivts uu flouts eoxceoualy decorated with
BtrrAtnB of maroon nnd jr/llo-tr. / Ths mem-

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.

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 attendance n.t the Exposition Wed
nesday was augmented perceptibly over that
of any day within the past week. 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.

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. .

crowds and while ho Is a very amusing In-

For the benefit of the Ak-Sar-Ben visitors
the Old Plantation has made an almost com

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

Through omo misunderstanding a number -

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.

"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. "I came In the other night and
at the stations In the extreme portions of
tlie state tlie people Hocked Into the cars
In droves , but I noticed a falling off as we
reached the center and eastern parts. Of
course the low rates which the railroads
put into effect from the far-away points
were such that a man could hardly afford
( o stay at home. " Mr , Willis reports a.
general condition of prosperity In north
western Nebraska and this fact ia prob
ably responsible to a certain degree for the
large number of people who have come
from that section to enjoy the Ak-Sar-Ben

CURE VARICOCELE !
h New System of Treatment Which Positively
Cures This Dreaded Affliction.
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. I have
cured five thousand cases in the past twenty
years every ono with Electricity ,
1 am the originator of a now method of treat
ing Veriuocele. It is the only method of any kind that has been successful.
THE DR MCLAUGHLIN METHOD ,
A soothing current of Electricity is applied direct to the parts with my approved
body appliance. I have a special method of application which never fails to decompose
the congestion. It gives a now impetus to the circulation , restoring the strength and
completely reducing all swelling.
I will curn the worst case in two months.
My appliance gives a steady , powerful current of Electricity into the body while
you sleep. It has a perfect regulator to control the current. It cannot burn or blister ,
and yet you can fool the life-giving power. I guarantee it for ono year without any
expense after first cost.

on the market today. Call and test it free or send tor my free book.
