thccn of at-my blue nnd gold lace was everywhere -
where apparent. Upon the olllclal card the

nnd It was well worthy of the name , as
those of the Infantry nrm of Undo Sam's
heroes were much In evidence Of course

attraction , and as a result thousands of the
jicojilo of Omaha , turned out to do honor to
tbo grizzly old warrior , who on many ft bat
tlefield has lead the boys In blue on to
victory.
The weather was not of that Nebraska
J > rand that Is so much ndmlred , but Instead
was of that gloomy kind that makes men
ead Early In the morning a light rain
commenced to fall , continuing at Intervals
during the cntlro forenoon. Occasionally a
ray of aunshlnu broke through the clouds ,
only to bo chased away by another shower.
General Nelson A. Miles , accompanied by
Mrs. Miles , Miss Miles , Miss Annie Iloyt
and n. 1'rank Hall of New York , Valney

the old time citizens of Omaha , know jou
personally , but of those who have come
hero more recently , you arc known only by
reputation. However , we are all proud of
jou nnd have all watched your military
circcr as you have rapidly ascended tbo lad
der of fame. "
Ilespondlng , General Miles said : "I thank
you for this reception and manifestation of
good feeling. I am glad to be hero today ,
and , in fact , I am always glad to visit the
plains and the cities of the plains , as 11
makes mo feel nt homo again. Once more
I thank you , and assure you that I appre
ciate your kindness. "

that the only safe policy for them was to
rrfraln from marauding , murdering and
pillaging It was to the relentless energy
of General Miles that the early settlers in
the sparsely populated vvcet owed their Im
munity from Indian depredations. Hid vigi
lance made the lonely scttk'r on the pralrlo
feel ns safe ai he had felt In hln eastern
homo cro he had set forth on his journey
to the western wilderness , which was des
tined under hlfl energies to bloenom as the
rose It made possible this great exposi
tion which displays to the world the splen
did thrift , high Intelligence and matchless
energy of the citizens of the great west.
"It is not strange that General Miles with
such ability and energy hns reached the
highest position In the Similes of this re
public As a strategist and a < s n leader of
men ho has no superiors among the military
men of the world today.
"Tho distinguished services ot General

"General Miles , we are glad that jou have
lonored us by this visit. Your scrvlcce In

IMward Rcscwalcr , In adding to the vvol-

hat Under General Miles It has been gl\cn

ranted to the press under General Miles in
ho war with Spain , than there was In the
Ivll war or any previous war of this country.
Vo had bettor treatment than the British
now have o\er in Africa. "
The speaker said that ho could remember
ho obligation which the early settlers are
under and that no man rendered moro valu
able services than General Miles.
Colonel Wlllhni P. Cody , -when Intro-
luccd , vvas greeted with tremendous ap-
ilause. When this had subsided ho eulogized
General Miles as an Indian fighter , referring
o his conduct in handling the Wounded
< nco campaign. "In fact , " said Colonel
Cody , "when ho went after the Indians , ho
ahvajs got and brought them in ; ho whips
hln enemy with less loss of life than any
other general. The enemy feels that it is an
loner to surrender to General Miles ; he
tnows what the rear guard is doing as well
as the front and we are glad that ho is with
us today and we will all vote for him when
10 wants us. "
GlMllTllI MIU'H IICNPOIIIIN.
When General Mllrs was presented the
cnthualiBin reached its helghth. These in
ho audience cheered , tcso to their feet and
cheered again. When the ovation vvas com
pleted the general said :
"I rcjolco to be once more west ot the
Father of Waters , for many of the happiest
years of my llfo have been spent on the
) 'alns ' and mountains , and amid the moun-
alns of the great west. Twenty-six years ot
ny life has been devoted to the service of
ny country on the 'v/cstern frontier and on
ho Pacific coast , and the transformation
from the wild plain and mountain vvaete to
prosperous communities has been ono of the
marvels of the ago and the most gratifying
page in our history.
"I have seen this plain country when It Tvaa
roamed over byvast herds of buffalo , elk and
dcerv supporting only bands of roaming In-
dlfiiis , comprising but a few thousand pee
ple. I have watched the great avenues of
commerce and communication as the iron
bands have been extended across the conti
nent , and interlaced from east to west and
'roin north to south , carrying with them
the waves of civilization until it has finally
overshadowed its territory and developed the
hidden treasures of the mountains nnd the
rich and fertile fields of the plains.
"The most enterprising and progressive
spirit of American civilization hag fearlessly
jenetratod the wilderness of the west and
slanted homes of civilization In every -valley
and district of this vast territory. The dlfu-
cUIties encountered and great obstacles have
jcen overcome and many privations en
dured. These have called into action great
energy , and have necessitated most rigid
eeonomy , as well ns prudent and frugal
methods and simplicity of life. Out of such
experience has evolved an intelligent , patri
otic and public-spirited people , who are the
pride and glory of our country.
"We have seen this country in eras of great
depression and deprivation , ns well as In
periods of great prosperity and hnpplness.
"Adversity and prosperity follow each other
In cycles of time , as the seasons of the year ,
or the morning and evening of the day , and
unlike the movement of the mighty glacier
the progress Is scarcely apparent , but the
steady and the onward movement to genera !
improvements , to greater wealth , moio uni
versal enlightenment and higher civilization
Is as steady and Irresistible as the works o !
the elements of nature. I rejoice with you
In all the achievements that have brought
comfort , gratification and happiness to thla
people.
"I rejoice with you on the return of your
gallant ( = ons , who moro than a year ago lefi
their homes and all the Interests and pros
pects of llfo and volunteered their services
In their country's cause. They placed them
selves under the flag of their country to
eervo In any part of the world against one
of the oldest powers on earth in the cause
of humanity nnd for the good of the people
who for centuries have been struggling for
freedom. These heroic men cheerfully gave
their lives and their valor to their country
regardless of the dangers of disease , slow
death or the destructive engines "of war Ir
order to maintain the honor of the nation
ami- the progressive human purpose of the
government. They have added to tbo fame
and glory of their'country nnd I rejoice tha
they have been received back to their home
with duo appreciation and grateful hearts by
an Intelligent people , Nothing could bo more
appropriate to celebrate your great pros
pcrlty than nn exposition of this character
which has the most beneficent influence
upon all who are fortunate enough to w lines
this great exhibition. It Is a revelation a
well as nn inspiration.
"You celebrate not n victory over anotho
class , race or people , but you celr-arato th
victories of genius nnd enterprise of mai
.ind woman over the elements of nature am
enjoy and comprehend the achievements of
your Industry , ' Ingenuity and skill actuated.
"With great prosperity comes also great
responsibility The people of this region ,
blessed In some respects far moro than
others , oven in our own country , a people
cxcrclFlng the sovereign right of cltl/en-
shlp , It is the bleasea privilege. It is thq
pride and boast of Americans , the grave
responsibilities its citizens cannot escape or
avoid with honor , , the responsibility of
maintaining the Institutions of our country
untarnished , as they were given to us by
the fathers ,
"The responsibility of maintaining a civil
governmqr/ that uhnll give to all men the
full measure of personal liberty nnd protec
tion of llfo and property nnd the puisuit
of happiness , even-handed justice , It Is a
responsibility that rests with every citizen ,
clotheJ with the authority and dignity of
Amcilcan citizenship It Is not enough that
wo can simply ; boast of commercial pros
perity , and that our icsoujcea far surpass
the domestic demands , and that we are able
to export to other countries millions of del
lars' worth of the products of the mines ,
the fields , the. factories and foundries ot
this country. There are other elements of
proaperlty that we should seek to acquire , If
wo do not already possess. Prosperity
brings obligation to fulfill all the obliga
tions which adversity have placed us under.
The full measure of our indebtedness to
those who have aided us in the past ,
Tliu OUllKiitloim of I'runperlty.
"Prosperity brings the obligation of sym
pathy and charity for the oppressed and
unfortunate In our own country. Prosperity
Iso brlngd with It another obligation that
wo should bo as cnlndful of as. the fact that
light follows the day , n storm the sunshine ,
nd the withering cheerless blasts of winter
ollovv the sunshine of the summer , and the
golden e aon of autumn's harvest. In days
of prosperity the wise will exercise the
same economy and prudence as in the days
of adversity , nnd sec that his storehouse U
veil filled nnd protected against the evil
dajs that may como In the future. Pros-
) crlty ot a community , of a people , of a great
mtlon , like the great and mighty i publlc
irlngs grave responsibility nnd In our duties
oward the people of other countries.
There are other elements that wo can extort -
tort besides the products of the field aid
oundry. Wo can export our sympathy nnd
harlty to the peoples of other countries where
ro struggling for liberty nnd enlightenment
Vo can Impress all with whom wo
ia\o relationship with our high and

f the glories of American citizenship nnd
fovcrnmont In the past , so It can afford to

lot only the reputation for commercial en-

nsplrcd and actuated with the unselfish
mrposo of maintaining our position as n na-

ulate our example.
"I congratulate you on the achievements of
ho past , the splendid prosperity of th
ircseut and the bright prospects of the fu-
ure. You have every reason to bo gratified
with the past nnd to anticipate a greater
prosperity in the future. "

nature the blaze spread through the struc
ture so rapidly that the millhands had to
hurry to save themselves The building was
soon in flames and will prove n total loss.
The boilcrhouee Just north of the mill was
also considerably damaged nnd will probably
have to bo torn down. The fire spread so
rapidly that the apparatus for flooding both
floors of the building with water could not
bo used.

with baled hemp was In carious danger , but
