to take position on some of the numerous
reviewing ntixnjs , In windows along the route
over which the parade was to pass , or upon
Iho curbstone.
As the parade continued on Its way the
enthusiasm grow until It became n pande
monium of cheers , nolso and applause.
Everybody and everything was cheered.
Ilells rang , whistles blew and Instruments ,
the noise otvhlch would have startled tbo
Inhabitants of the Infernal regions , were
brought Into play. lied fire burned on
every corner and thousands of banners ,
welcoming the Invading hosts , were Hung
to the wind.
On and on the parade marched until It
turned onto rarnam street. Then It was
that a trumpet sounded from the tower of
the city hall , announcing the near approach
of the king. Immediately there wns nn
answering note from below and from the
platform occupied by the mayor and the
city officials. At that Instant a horseman
Bhot out from the head of the slowly np-
proachlng column and at a breakneck pace
rode to the city halt and halted before tbo
mayor. In n few words ho announced the
approach of King Ak-Sar-Uen V , at the

\ Responding , the mayor Informed the
Knight that tbo city waa ready to capitulate.
A loud huzza went up from the reviewing
stand and hurriedly the armored knight
rode down the street. He held a short
consultation -with a number of the outriders
and then the procession swept on until the
king's float came directly In front of the
place occupied by the mayor.
The City CnpltulateK.
Rising to his feet , Mayor Moorcs said :
Beloved sovereign , whose beneficent reign
has brought Increased prosperity to the
realm , we , your devoted subjects , welcome
> ou with glad acclaim to your capital city
and pledge anew our fealty to your majesty.
Heaven has smiled upon tha land of Qui
vera since the dynasty of Ak-Stir-Ben came
to the throne. Plenty has taken the place
of want : prosperity tha place of adversity ;
wealth the place of penury ; Industry the
plnco of Idleness ; confidence the place of
distrust , and happiness and contentment the
place of misery and despair. But none of
the Illustrious kings of the house of Ak-
Sar-Ben have done more for the people of
the land ot Quivera than hnvo you , O king.
Your reign has been signalized by fresh
triumphs in the art * , the sciences and the
industries. Today the whole world pays
tribute to your greatness , and men of every
race nnd of every clime are hastening to
Quivera to swear their allegiance to King
Ak-Sar-Ben V.
During your'majesty's ' Absence from your
capital city we have exerted ourselves to
the utmost to increase the material pros
perity , not only of the city , but of the entire -
tire realm. As you have passed through
these streets , brilliantly Illuminated In honor
of your coming- , you have seen evidences
on every hand of that energy , thrift and
sagacity which have added dally to the
wealth and magnificence of your kingdom.
Tonight your loyal subjects have gathered
to do honor to their king , who has come to
take up his residence again in tha capital
of his kingdom. I have here the great
golden key of the city , which was placed
In my hands by jour majesty to bo kept
during your absence. I now return it to
you , assuring you that it will unlock not
only the city's gates , but also the hearts of
all who nre within the city walls. And
now , O king , wo welcome you and with one
accord shout , long live King Ak-Sar-Ben V.
The key , a golden affair , six feet long , la-
ecrlbed on ono side : "Welcome Illustrious
Sovereign , King Ak-Sar-Bon V , " nnd on the
other : "Omaha , Neb. , September 28 , 1899 ,
Frank E. Moores , Mayor , " was brought
forth , passed to a policeman , who in turn
handed It to the monarch , who received
It , bowed his acceptance and waved his
hand. The trumpeter sounded the signal for
the procession to move , and again the line
of march was taken up and the spectacular
parade passed out upon the streets and to
the castle , whore It disbanded , leaving the
city in control of another of the kings of
the Ak-Sar-Ben regime.
KING'S DAZZLING PAGEANT
TliciuvM from Well Kiioivii OpcrnM Arc
Selected fur the Titled of
tUe KlantM.
Heretofore In seeking for the titles to
floats for the pageant of the Ak-Sar-Bon
kings , various subjects have been selected ,
sometimes the managers going Into mythol
ogy. At-other times they have taken feat
ures with a local or semi-local significance ,
all of which have given satisfaction , yet fro-
qucntly It has required a stretch of the Im
agination to make the application fit the
float. This year , however , a different plan
was adopted and In every Instance the floats
took their titles from rome act or BCMIO In
some popular grand or comlo opera , nearly

That In splendor nnd brilliancy the floats
e-cen upon the streets last night outrlvallcd
hose ot other years In correctness ot dotall ,
accuracy In construction and general beauty
went without flaying. In every Instance the
coloring was along the lines laid down In
the operas. The Illumination ot each float
was In perfect keeping with representations |
n the original plays , The people riding | 1
upon the floats and taking part In the
sketches which were Illustrated were all cos
tumed In accordance with the country and
ago In which they lived , so that , taking
everything Into consideration , the utmost
harmony prevailed In subject , equipment
and Illumination.
The first In tbo procession was the title
loat , a beautiful affair In which the Ak-
Sar-Bon colors red , > ellow nnd green pre
dominated. On cither sideIn ornamental
etters , was the Inscription : "Scwea from
Popular Operas , Grand nnd Comic. " Ot
course this float was simply to prcparo the
people for what wa < coming. Its general
construction was original , as well as uulquo.
[ "or a front plcco It carried a Jnrgo mask ,
surmounted by a clown's cap , and from tbo
great mouth shot out clouds of emoko on
which were written musical notes. At the
rear waa a fantastically dressed clown , who
along the line brought to bear a pair of 1m-
men&o opera glasses upon the crowds. On
.ho sides were fancy columns , surmounted
byases which held plants and flowers.
The float occupied by King Ak-Sar-Ben
V was the second In tbo line. It being the
tlng'a official chariot , of course It T\ns
richer than any of the others. It was
principally in the Ak-Sar-Ben colors , with
diamonds and precious stones of great size
and 'brllllnncy ' , set Invelvet nnd cloth of
extreme fineness. Just bak ot the mlddlo
ot the float eat tbo king under a canopy ,
ho sides and roof of which ehonowith
lundrcda ot electric stars. On each aide
WOTO llttlo 'boys ' , iholdlng sheets of music ,
and behind them 'wero ' birds ot paradise.
A short distance In front of the king was
a lyre , occupying a , place upon a highly
: olored column. On either sldo ot this
DUrned vessels of incense , the smoke of
which lent a fragrance to the air. The ex
treme front of the float was constructed to
represent the figurehead ot the boat ot some
ancient mariner.
The only attendant upon the king was ono
lone knight , who stood In front of his master ,
over ready to do his bidding , and as the king
loaned back on his couch of costly material
tils every want was anticipated and quickly
supplied.
From "The Fortune Teller. "
The scene for the third float waa taken
! rom the second act of "Tho Fortune Teller. "
In general appearance It waa ono ot the
gaudiest things In the line. At the rear
was a canopy , covered TV 1th ornamental
work In rich and striking colors , held up
by pillars carved In the most fantastic
style. All along the aides were pots of
plants , flowers and vines , natives ot eotno
country other than thla. At the front was
constructed an arch , on which the work of
.he artisan rwas visible In the carving and
artistic design. The Idea represented the
jnrdcn nnd somewhat rundown chateau of
Jount Bcrezowskl , a Polish musician. Being
a great lover of music , tbe place was the
launt of musicians of all classes and upon
: hls particular occasion a lot of gypsies
were strolling about the place , some play-
ng In the yard. There was ono with more
nerve than the others and he had selected
: ho front , stops of the houst' as a place to
< ncel and play upon a violin , much to the
disgust of the occupant , who commanded
; wo henchmen to order the fellow and his
associates to move off the premises.
The fourth float portrayed a scene laid
n Spain during the early part of the pres
ent century. It was taken from the opera
ot "Carmen" and ) showed Don Jooe in the
act of killing his mistress , whoso name the
piece "bears. " As the story goes , Don Jose
waa the commander of a company of dra
goons in the city of Seville. Carmen , who
waa very 'beautifulworked In a cigar fac-
.ory there. One day as Don Jose was in
the vicinity of the factory this girl throw
a lunch of flowers , which landed at his feet ,
rle Vias smitten by her charms and made
ova to her. Later there was a row In
.ho factory and during its progress Carmen
stabbed one of her associates. Don Jose
was ordered to take her to prison , but
managed to permit her to escape , and for
this neglect of duty waa himself Incarcer
ated. After serving a term and being re-
eased ho found Carmen In a gypsy camp ,
where she had become Infatuated "with a
) ullflghter , Escalnello. One day Don Jose
ollowed the pair to the bull ring , where ,
when he saw the woman In the embrace of
; ho toreador , he became so enraged that
le rushed upon her and stabbed her to the
leart.
People who witnessed the passing of the
fifth float recognized a scene from the last
act of "Tho Llttlo Corporal. " In the back
ground they observed ono of the cbel sks ,
with n sphynx , flvo times as largo ns an } of
the giants of mythology , sitting at Its
base. What this had to do with the story
of the play no one could tell , but It was
there , just the same. AH around In tbe lo
cality of the monument to nn extinct genera
tion were palm trees and cactus plants ,
growing In the sand of the desert. Of course
the central figure of the picture was Bona
parte , who was dubbed "Tho Little Corpo
ral. " Instead of riding a horse , as was Ms
usual custom , ho was mounted upon a camel
nnrt In an Interesting manner ho was ex
plaining to a hoodwinked Egyptian and n
rather pretty maiden that ho had conquered
about all of Europe nnd , slnglehanded and
alone , was about to undertake the ta k of
whipping into submission the irlbjs 1 vlng
along the valley of the Nile. The people to
whom ho was talking Informed him that he
was counting without his hosts. However ,
he npprared not to tnke much stock in the
suggestion , as ho Insisted upcn sct'Ing out
on his killing trip at onco.
One Joll.v Olil ainn.
On the sixth float old Fals'aft rode , posing
ns the king bco monarch of all , with none
his rights to dispute , Tbo eld fe'Iow was as
fat , portly , Jolly and happy ns represented
In "The Merry Wives rf Windsor. " He oc
cupied an enormous feat-none too large ,
however , out In a pnrk , where a huge oak
tree sheltered him from the rays of a hot
sun that Is said to have been sh'nlng at the
lime of the laying of the scone , In one
hand ho held n teer mug , while In the otlnr
was a cane that was frequently brought
down with a heavy thud Hatlesa , he had
his hair stuck full of laurel twigs and upn
hi8 face he were a half-shot expression ,
That the eld man was bavin ? a right Jolly
tlmo went without saying , for upon tbe lawn
In front of him bo had a number of 'also
fairies , clad In gauzy garb , Indulging In a
dance that had been pr'hlb'tej ' at the Mid
way shows of the Greater Amo'lra Expo
sition. Not entirely satisfied with the action
of tbe work performed by the girls b flldo
the tree he had another fairy who was con
stantly urging the fairies on , Insisting that
they put more life Into the entertainment
furnished the distinguished gentlaman.
"The Flying Dutchman , " a Jarge ship ,
complete In every detail and with bright
rod aallt ) , was one of the nttrac'lvo ' features
and was frequently applauded. Wagner con
ceived the Idea cf writing the s'ory at li
tlmo when he was at sea | n a storm. While
the etory may be taken without much truth
In Its makeup , It reads well , in brief It li
na follows ; For somr- Imaginary crime tha
captain of "The Flying Dutchman" wag
commanded by the ttplrlts to dill Iho eas
during all eternity , or until h3 c-u'd find
some maiden who would be falth'ul un'o '
death. Shortly after this and while railing
the the cast * \ i
over ocean on crast nf v
he met Dnland , the commande * of n Nor
wegian bark. The latter Invited the stranger
to his home , which be reached In due time.
There the daughter of Daland , who bv tliu
way , waa engaged to a man , Eric , was Intro
duced , A friendship sprang up between the
two. She % oweoj constancy and agreed to
desert her lover , etc. This settled the cas-
\vlth the Btranger , who realized that It thli
girl \vould throw over one lover f r an
other , she would not quite fill the bill and
snvo him from the fate that had been ns-
nlgncd as his lot. Consequently ho ngaln put
I to sea to sail forever ,
I The subject for tbo eighth float was taken
from the prison s no In "Faust. " It showed
Marguerite In the dungeon , Faust and Mcph-
Istopheles upon a rocky crag and thrco evil
spirits gathered about a hugo kettle con
taining a noxious potion. Faust was a stu
dent nnd had grown old as bo tolled over his
books , Ono day when out walking In a
wood ho cnmo upon MephlUopheles and re
quested the secret that might bring back
Ills youth , The request was granted , but
with It there was the condition that forever
ho should surrender his soul to the devil.
Faust's youth having returned ho became
enamored of Marguerite , who nccepted his
love nnd was Induced to leave her home nnd
her former lever , Slcbel , acry straightfor
ward young man. Eventually the true con
dition of affairs dawned upon the young
woman nnd In her remorse she murdered her
hlld that had been recently born. For this
she was thrown Into a dungeon to await the
day of execution. While In this place , from
want nnd misery , she soon died , her death
occurring during the revels In which Faust
wns taking an active part.
Soldlrm llnvc tt Ony Time.
In taking n subject for tbo ninth float the
opening scene In "Tho Jolly Musketeers"
was selected nnd the place the old Flower
market. The house was a quaint old nffalr
with sharp gables nnd dormer windows , al
coves nnd bay -windows gnlore. To bo In
keeping with Its name , flowers \vero every-
w here. They were nt the front nnd rear , on
the sides and high up on the walls , whllo
there wns a hugo bank of them on the extreme -
tremo front end of the float. Out In the
front yard of the Inn someone had located
a table and on either side of this sat two ol
the king's musketeers , evidently the Jol-
llcst of all. Out of largo tankards , holding
twice as much as the average sized schooner ,
they supped tholr beer and kept the red-
wnlsted nnd whlte-fiklrtod barmaid on the
trot replenishing the \ossols. She had every
Indlcntlon of a girl who enjoyed the work ,
for she frequently stopped and "Jollied" the
soldier boys , and more than fifty times whllo
the parade was covering the route was the
recipient ot tips ranging all the way from a
dlmo up to half a dollar. Whllo not drink
ing , the two soldiers were continually tell
ing tales of their bravery and of battles In
which they had fought.
The tenth float showed the beautiful halls ,
colonnades nnd portico of the palace of the
king of Memphis , with great palm trees and
tropical verdure growing near. The sub
ject was from the opera "Alda , " n produc
tion by Verdi. The tlmo was designated as
during the reign of the Phnroahs. Alda was
the daughter of an Ethiopian king and by
some mischance fell Into the hands of the
Egyptians and was carried away to Egypt
nnd became a slave. Whllo In Egypt , Had-
nmes , ono of the officers of the army , fell
In love with her nnd sought her ns his wife.
About this tlmo news came over the desert
that the Ethiopians were invading Egypt.
Uadames was given command of the army
and was sent out to meet the enemy. He
went , saw and conquered nnd when he re
turned , brought ninny captives , nmong whom
wns Amonasro , the father of Alda. The
scene on the float showed the meeting ot
father and daughter after a separation of
many years. As the float passed along the
spectators were moved by the appeals made
by Alda for the release of her father from
captivity , to all of which the ruler of the
Egyptians turned a deaf ear.
There was nn intimation of frontier life
In the scenes enacted on the eleventh float ,
the plot for which was from the second act
of "Tho Highwayman. " Tbero was Uje. old
stagecoach and the masked road agent , holdIng -
Ing two revolvers , iboth ot which were
pointed at the driver of the vehicle. How
ever , Iho story was of ages that have gone.
Dick Fitzgerald was an Irish soldier of for
tune , who subsequently 'became ' a highway
man and was notorious as Captain Scarlet.
He fell In love with Lady Constance Sin
clair , but continued robbing stages. One
day he was caught and thrown Into prison'
His Identification was complete and ho was
about to bo hanged. At this time his sweet
heart sot her wits to work and for the next
few weeks Captain Scarlets were as common
ns grass. They were holding up men and
robbing stages all over the country. Of
course this befogged the minds of the au
thorities and rather than punish one whom
they thought might possibly be innocent
they secured a pardon for the real Captain
Scarlet and released him from prison.
After being turned loose ho married the
woman who worked the confidence game on
the court officials and reformed.
UrcnJix rltu tlic Pit try.
A scene In the first act of "Tannhauser"
was Illustrated by the twelfth float. This
showed the Interior of the mountain ot
Venus , to which Tannhauser had been lured
by the young proprlctess , who had been pro
scribed by Christianity. In front ot the
voluptous beauty stood Tannhauser , appar
ently spellbound as he gazed upon her
cl arms ns she reclined upon a couch. Around
their mlstrees hovered numerous nymphs
and sirens , upon whom Taunhauser gazed
from time to time , almost forgetting the
beautiful foco of Elizabeth , a fair girl to
whom ho had given his heart and who re
sided nt Wartburg. To spectators upon the
curb it was apparent thnt the position of
the hero of Wagner was a trying ono. At
last and after what seemed to be the great
est effort of his life , the young man , with
uplifted hand , swore that he would break
away from the infatuation , lead a better
life and atone for the sins thnt he had com
mitted. Whllo doing to Venus called to
her aid all the subtle powers thnt she pos
sessed , but they , nnd tboEo of her associates ,
were not sufficient to Induce him to swerve
one lota from the solemn resolve that he
had taken.
On the thirteenth float
was shown a scene
from "The Charlatan. " The representation
was that of a country fair In the village of
Bokhara. While there
was nothing to suggest -
gest a local application , tharo was much to
remind the spectators of tbe Midway In an
outlying date at county fair tlroe , Tbo eot-
tlngs were strictly up-to-date. At the back
of the float was a highly ornamental booth
with Its towers and turrets , Its gay banners
and its bright colored hangings. In plain
view waa a Punch nnd Judy show In full
operation , with the dovll occasionally tak
ing a fall out of Punch , who constantly In
sisted upon quarreling with his wife and
now and then knocking her down. Just out
side the door was a barker with a calliope
voice and n pair of leather lungs who har
angued a number of small boys who stood
around nnd watched the balahoo , Appar
ently across the street was the push-cart of
the fakir , who , for the occasion , took the
name of Demldoff because ie could find
none that suited him better. Ho was the
counter attraction and attempted to inveigle
the boys Into buying his goods , Insisting
that they were of the latest vintage. There
was a large alligator on the float , a part of
a free show.
The Idea for the fourteenth float was
taken from Wagner's "Siegfried , " anil
showed a scene cupposed to be true to the
author's conception. There was Siegfried ,
clothed In gklna and fura the garb of a
hunter standing with sword held aloft and
In tbo act ot slaying Fafner , the giant , who
had been turned Into a great dragon and as
signed to the responsible position ot guar
dian 01 the Rhluegold treaiure and the ring
which rightfully belonged to Siegfried by
Inheritance , but which had been kept from
him by Mime , into whcue custody ho had
been given upon the death ot his father ,
Slcgmund. Having killed the dragon , the
young man tasted the blood , a drop of which
splashed upon his finger and almost Im
mediately ho was turned Into another being.
Above him and In the huge trco he heard
the singing of n bird nnd listened. Then
he" discovered thnt ho cared nothing for the
gold , but Instead , preferred to change his
nttlro nnd got out of the forest nnd n so-
clato with men nnd women ot his equal.
Whllo standing over the dragon , he decided
to leave the forest forever , follow the path
pointed out by the bird , nnd carve out for
himself a new life , one to him hitherto
unknown.
To a majority of the people nlong the
atreots the Idcn brought out by the fifteenth
float was ( amlllnr enough. It wns from the
first net ot the opera "Wang. " The plot
was laid In Asia nnd whllo It did not fol
low the original lines any too closely , It
was near enough so that the cue wns easily
taken. The float was n striking nftnlr on
account of Its colors nnd general features.
The ce-nterpleco wns the sacred white ele
phant of Slam , the property ot the king.
On the back of the animal rode the king ,
whllo In front was a pedestal on which wns
a beer mug ns largo ns n flour barrel , filled
with the foaming liquid. Altogether too often
the clophnnt would reach his trunk out for
the mug , while the king would Just as often
fllo nn objection to the benst drinking , In
sisting that ho wnnted the contents of the
mug to go nlong with n late dinner being
prepared nt his pnlncc. Beside the mug of
beer stood the official keeper ot the eeals ,
who nsslstod the king In preventing the ele
phant from downing the lager. At the rear
of the float there was n majestic tower , pre
sumably the homo of the king , nround which
grew roses whoso blossoms were several
feet across.
I'oniilty for TellliiM : n Mo.
The scene which the sixteenth float rep
resented was laid In Antwerp in the first
halt of the tenth century nnd was from
"Lohengrin. " The action was presumed to
have taken place when Henry I , emperor
of Germany , seeking to suppress tlic Hun
garians , found Brabant In a state of an
archy. Frederic , the count of Brabant , was
called before Henry and was requested to
explain the cause of the trouble. This man ,
who had been the guardian ot Godfrey , nn
heir presumptive and who had disappeared ,
accused Elea , a beautiful girl , of the mur
der of her brother. She protested nnd called
upon heaven to avenge the wrong. While
she was peaking a swan-enaped boat np-
poarod upon the lake and as it sailed up
to the bank a knight In splendid armor
stepped from the bow and heralded him
self ns the champion of the girl , asking
na a reward her hand In marriage nnd the
promise that she never inquire his origin
or name ) , to which she consented. A sword
combat follotwed beneath the bows of a
oak tr > . durlnc which Frederic
was stricken down and deprived of the
lands and estates which ho had taken ,
though his llfo was sparej.
The seventeenth float showed the ? un
pleasant conditions that may sometimes
surround a man who Is up a tree. The
float waa designated ns the "Wizard of the
Nile , " and Kibosh , the magician of the
story of the opera , was the man up the
tree. Ot course the plot was laid In Egypt
and consequently everything about the float
had to be strictly Eg > ptlan , even to the
facade of the palace. Kibosh had been In
the country for a long time practicing the
black art and many times he had aston
ished and bewildered the Khedive , at whose
palace he was making his headquarters. As
the story goes , ono day Mr. Kibosh was out
along the Nile , when , without any previous
notice , a crocodile came upon him. Kibosh
did not have tlmo to run , so he cllincbd
Into the top ot a palm tree that happened
to be near at hand. The crocodile came up
and opened up a conversation with Kibosh ,
Inviting him to descend. The invitation
was rejected with thanks , whereupon the
big fellow at the bottom of the tree Impor
tuned the magician to get out of his pe
culiar predicament by practicing the black
art. The float showed -Kibosh up the tree
and the crocodile below with wide open
mouth , laughing at him.
The opening scene of "The Barber ot
Savlllo" was Illustrated by the eighteenth
and last float. It showed the bouse of Dr.
Bartolo , with Roslna standing on the bal
cony. Below appeared Count Llndoro sere
nading the girl and she listening attentively.
Near by was Figaro , the servant who had
entered into the secret agreement to bring
about a meeting betwen Hcslna and Lln
doro. As the float proceeded on its way
: hero was a representation of Llndoro seek
ing to gain admislon to the house , olded by
the schemes of Figaro , who had been bribed
with a promise of a large sum of money
and the appointment of minister to some
foreign court. The general beauty of thla
particular float was its feature. The house
of the doctor was supposed to be a correct
exemplification of the architecture of those
days. It was a rambling two story structure ,
partially hid from view by the flowering
shrubs and running vines. The grounds In
front were arranged In perfect keeping with
the building , being spacious , with a largo
fountain , from which gusned streams of
clear , sparkling water. On a shield appeared
the emblem of the owner a pair of shears ,
a razor and a comb , surmounted by a crown.

.AMUSEMENTS.
David Illgglns and a well-balanced com
pany opened a half week's engagement at
the Boyd theater , presenting for the third
time in this city Mr. Hlgglns' beautiful
southern play , "At Plnoy Hldgo. " There
have been a number ot new features added
to this drama which is now In the third
year of Its successful career and It is before
the theater-going public even better than
over. Whoeer has seen Its line scenes and
Its vivid pictures of southern life can fully
understand the secret of ltn success. It is
a human and lifelike portr.ijal of men and
women of the south. There Is not a dreary
moment In It and no mock sentiment or
stagy claptrap There are lines and scenes
that appeal to the heart of the spectator In
a very forceful manner. There are some
new stage effects and all the pretty scenery
that ent BO far to help on the success of
the play on Its two previous visits to Omaha ;
In fact , the company , scenery and effects
are entirely up to the standard of the play ,
uhlch means that they are complete and ot
the best sort and In natural keeping with
the high tone of this beautiful story of the
romantic southern mountains. The engage
ment closes with a matinee Saturday and a
performance at night.
