Nothing of such minor Importance as a
million-dollar rain was permitted to Inter
fere with tho regal plans of Samson and the
court of Ak-Sar-Uen for the reception of
Governor Savage nnd his accompanying
party of distinguished citizens who came
over last night from the capital as ambas
sadors of peace and couriers of friendly
greeting. The party, comprising sixty to
seventy-five people, arrived on the regular
7:3i train from Lincoln nnd was met nt
the train by Mayor Moores and tho other
Omaha members of the governor's stnff
and n reception committee of Knights of
Ak-Sar-Ben. Mrs. Savage accompanied the
governor. Tho executive staff was In uni
form. Among tho other -members of the
party wero State Treasurer Stcufer, At
torney Gcnerol Prout and Land Commis
sioner Folltner.
Tho members of the distinguished party
wero escorted directly to the musical fes
tival pavilion, whero several hundred peo
ple wero esscmbled to grcot them, In spite
of tho threatening Weather. Conftontlng
the party as It entered was h big streamer
along the north side of the tent 1-earlng
the legend, "Welcome, Governor Savage."
Mayor 'Moores at once led the governor
and stato oftlcers nnd the members of tho
executive stnff to scats upon the platform.
Tho members of tho military contingent
present were; Colonels L. W. Colby, C. J.
Bills, C. M. Kccfcr, C. D. Evans, R. E.
(llffcn, C. J. Miles, S. M. Mellck, Frank
E. Moores, J. II. Brown, James G. Martin,
Elmer E. Bryson, Joseph W. Thoma and
Colonel Harris.
Inlrnilnccil liy Hie .Mnjur.
Mayor Moores Introduced Governor Sav
age to tho ttudlonce nnd tho governor re
sponded that whenever he met any people
from Omaha or In Omaha ho always knew
ho wns among friends. Ho did not feel
called upon to mako any remarks, except
to express the thankfulness of himself, his
staff nnd tho other state odlcors present
for the cordial reception, accorded tncro aud
the royal entertainment prepared for them.
Tho governor Is not called upon to do much
talking, ho said, but his portion was
simply to cxecut the hard work. Ho
had brought with him his stnff and It was
the duty of tho chief thereof to make all
tho necessary tnlksi tu tho people. He,
therefore, Introduced' General L. W. Colby.
This movement on the part of tho gov
ernor took General Colby entirely by sur
prise and caused considerable merriment
among his associates and the nudlence.
Oeneral Colby Insisted that if the gov
err.or had correctly stated his duties, ho
had Just learned of one of which he had
never before been apprised. If he had
known that such n duty was to devolvo
upon him, ho said, ho would have brought
along one of his barrels of speeches from
Beatrice and would havo read ono to the
audience nwo hours long, the some as ho
was accustomed to get out and reel In po
litical campaigns. As he had not been
permitted thus to prepare" himself he felt
that he must call upon another member of
tho staff to do tho talking for him. Ho
thereupon introduced Colonel C. J. Bills.
nilU Shoulder Speechninkln m-
Coloqel Bills 'declared It looked clearly
like a put-up Job: For himself and his
nssoclates ho could say they knew they
would get a royal reception to Omaha, for
they always do, and he know It was In
store for them this timo when he saw
Mayor Moores at the train. Omaha Is built
that way. Ho recalled the time when he
was bore In command of tho Second Ne
braska rcglnent of voluntoers and said hs
could not come down Into tho city from
Fort Omaha without receiving anew assu
rances of a cordial welcome Ho had on
that occasion beon somewhat .perplexed
when Mayor Moores gave him two big keys
to tho city instead of one, and hlB per
plexity was only removed by the mayor's
assurance that he needed two, one to got
COULD NOT WOO.
A fiodilcua Tlmt "Would Sat Be Won,
The Creator, in making so many kinds
of pooplo naturally mado some that havo
Immense ambition and deslro for work,
physical and mental. Authors, writers and
brain-workers aro generally hard work
ing people, frequently they exhaust vital
ity so fast that they cannot rebuild.
Food experts have perfected a special
fond called Grape-Nuts for brain workers.
The makers selected from field grains the
proper elements which naturally enter Into
rebuilding brain and nerve centers.
A famous woman of West Haven, Conn.,
whom perhaps you will recognize because
df the location, but who requests that her
name bo kept from print In this connec
tion, writes: "Perhaps you would like to
know my experience with the restoring
power of your wonderful Grape-Nuts Food.
I have been a tireless worker. Life was
full of possibilities. 1 had a constitution
of Iron and why not work. I lived to the
fullest limit" of my power, following every
pursuit with ardor, painting, pootry, writ
ing bqoks, Journalism and lecturing.
Tho days were passed In literary work
and the nights at concerts, theaters and
receptions. I suddenly dropped out, a men
tal nnd physical wreck. Ambition died
and hope went with It. Religion bocamo
odious. The world grow dark. It became
a 'Chnrnol Houso full of unclean bones, not
Godlike nnd our Father's.'
I had no desire for food. I could not
woo the 'Goddess Sleep that knits up the
raveled sleeve of care.' I contemplated a
weak uolutlon, a leap into the Unknown,
when one day a friend In Yale who knew
my deplorable condition, said, 'Do you
kriow that Grape-Nuts Food has done a
great deal for me,' and told the details.
I Anally followed his suggestion nnd began
using It. That was ono year ago. I wish
you could see mo now. Tho neighbors say
I do tho work of ten women. I go to bed
with the hens and sleep like a top,
I hear 'the breeze cnll of Incense
breathing morn,' my muscles are llko Iron,
and my back of steel. I am as alert as
the sparrow with whom I converse every
morning as ho seeks hla matltutlnnl worm.
I ascribe all of this change, and Justly,
to Grape-Nuts Food and wisdom In the
economy of force."
Thero Is a good, sound reason for such
a chango as described above. Grape-Nuts
Food Is made of the selected elements of
wheat and barley that aro Intended by Na
turo to rebuild the soft gray matter In
the brain and nerve cells throughout the
body. This food is so prepared that It
presents these elements In perfect condi
tion for Immediate asslm'rfatlon. The food
Is thoroughly cooked at tho factory, anfl
should always be served Just as It comes
from the packago with n Itttlo cream. Do
not attempt to stew it but serve it without
cooking except when combined with certain
puddings and desserts, and oven then tho
cooking Is not necessary except to prepare
the other Ingredients aside from the Grape
Nuts. Send" a one-cent stamp to the Postum
Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich., for
a free recipe book,
In and ona tb get out again. In closing
his remarks Colonel Bills called for some
miulc from "Colonel Bellstedt."
The pty rcminlned nt the tent during
the performance of three or four numbers
on tho program anil one which had not been
put upon the printed list. The latter was
the Ak-Sar-Bcn march, which was one of
the productions of the first year's history
of the knights. It was originally known
as the "King John" march, but Mr. Hospe
transposed It and christened It the Ak-Sar-Ben
march. Its 'reproduction elicited
round after round of applause.
Mm, Sntnicc Slny for the Until.
When tho party left the tent about 8:30
for tho den of Its royal host Mrs. Savago
remained to hear the rest of the concert.
Soon after Its. departure the rain began
falling In torrents. The tent afforded llttl
protection and a hundred umbrellas wero
raised, while .many of the women took
reruge upon tho platform, which has n
waterproof root. It uns raining so hard
that no ono could loavo the tent nnd tho
best tha could be done was to seek the
most sheltered nook to bo found and tako
whatever came. The band played an oc
casional selection to keep everyone In good
spirits end most of thosa present nppeared
to, treat their predicament as a lark.
Aeclilent Thrcnti-iix Cerrmuiilr.

Over 100 novitiates presented 'themselves
for admission Into tho order nnd the work
was given thorn after a stylo to leave noth
ing to be desired.
At the closo" of (ho initiations Governor
Savage was"pree'nfdd with the ofllclol
Jewel of the ot'de'r. 'Rov. F. E. Trefz was
Introduced 'and on behalf of the Knights
of Ak-Sar-Bcn welcomed tho visitors to
tho city nnd to the society, congratulating
nil that through th6 efforts of tho society
Omaha was being bound with closer tics
to the state.' .
Governor Savage responded in choice
words, thanking the knights for the enter
tainment provided and prophesying .1 glow
ing futuro for the nlty and stnto.
Mayor Moores followed with n talk which
was In his ueunl happy vein, relating to his
experiences In the ordeal through which
he had Just passed,
Attorney General Prout spoke briefly nnd
H. E. Palmer followed with a few remarks,
his themo being "Stand Up for Nebraska."
General Colby announced that tho stnto
has a good feeling, toward Omnha, which Is
constantly growing as a result of friendly
nnd social Intercourse such as that of the
evening at tho den;
Lincoln "Cnmiiierolnl Connriidilnlrn.

work which has made It the metropolis of

city they had n warm placo In their hearts
for Omaha.
J. H. Van Dusen of South Omaha, tho

It Is assorted, however, that ,tho $10,000

evening and engagos In tho debate WU

the- ovent and Is paying all expenses wlU
tho olr of n multi-millionaire..
Because of tho peculiar and extraordi
nary proceeding tho people ot Lincoln aro
wondorlng who and what kind of a man
Wllshlro is. A few weeks after election
last year several hundreu posters of the
Clydssdalc typo variety wero displayed on
sign boards Iti Lincoln announcing that
Wllshlro would give Bryan $1,000 If he
would debate with him. This .challenge
was refused nnd Inter anutner act of
posters nppVarcdfcnpwIng (he proposition
and raising the amount to $10,006. ' A
month ago still another set of posters were
displayed. These announced' that us a "for
feit a draft for $1,000 had been" sent to W.
R. Hearst. And still Mr. Wllshlre wis I.
noted, so he soys. .Ho declares that his
speech will bo largely a criticism of Brian's
position on trusts nnd through tho medium
of tho sign board he says: "Dear Mr,
Brynnr Sine ypu won't come to mo 1 go
to you. I challcngo you to uppcar nnd
answer,'
Seven. .' thousand posters. . .containing

tho city. Vila.hlro says ho will throw 'tht

no admission.
vR. J. O'Hnnlon of Milwaukee, general
organizer of the American Humane Hbsocla
Hon, cnllcd upon Governor" Savagd this"
morning to nsccrtnln his position telatlve
to tho proposed bull fight at South Omaha.
Tho governor stated, his position frankly,
agreeing with tho Humane society that no
cruelty, even In nppearjnce, should bo por
mitlod. "If ono drop of blood of either a bull or
horse Is shed nt that exhibition." said
Governor Savage, "or nny shnrp lnstru
men l Is used by tho men engaging In tho
show, 1 shall Immediately put an end to
tho wholo affair. Wo havo been assured
that, none of the lawo- nf our slate; which
are strict on this point,-will he violated;"

Tho time for filing complaints against the
tax assessments expired nt 10 o'clock (his
morning. Notwithstanding the general In
crease In tho valuation ns determined W
City Tax Commissioner" Altken, there havo
been but few "kicks." All 'told thero are
157 complaints. They will go first' to 'u"
special commltteo of councllmen and then
back to tho council again nt a meeting
next Friday niOrrilng' when all taxes Will
be' ftnallyWdJmjttrd. . ''"" '' '-'
vTBe Lincoln Gas and" Blec'trlu company
protested this hiornlrtg' against fixing 'tlie
valuation of ita' bersonaf property" "at
$300,000 and real property at'' '$52,000'. It
asserts that these are excessive and un
equal and higher than other property1 In
tho city of equal value.
It Is understood that tho property of
greater value to which the company refers
belongs to tho railroad companies, which
pay only upon $09,000, tho valuation ur
fixed by tho Stato Bonrd of Equalization
nnd which under tho stnto law cannot bo
disturbed by tho city tux commissioner.'
C. O. Whedon personally protested
against the assessment of $27,000 upon his
big residence rind three and a half lots nt
tho rorncr of Nineteenth nnd D stroets. Ho
Insists that tho valuation Is exccsslvo nnd
that tho property is assescd nnd valued
at a higher sum than other property of
greater value In tho city, as he will show
upon tearing.
The. Lincoln Traction company entered a
protest today against being taxed $80,000
