At Twentieth and Paul streets for two hours yesterday afternoon nearly 15,000 people lived over again the days of the pathfinder, the pioneer and- the settler.

Lived with Buffalo Bill and his 600 spectacular performers 1 In the morning the veteran scout had led bis cohorts through the principal streets and thousands that lined the walks cheered the sight. It was a Nebraskan of Nebraska marshaling under him the people of many lands and the crowd liked the Idea. It liked the Nebraakan, too, and the ovation was one that may live long in the colonel's memory. The parade occupied from 10 to 11 o'clock nd at noon the crowd turned toward the exhibition grounds. Borne had come mlk-s to see the performance and Its chief teat re, and these knew no better place to be than at the ropes of the Immense arena. Hundreds were from small surrounding towns a ad they proposed to see all that could be seen. ' Cody had fifty callers In the first hours of the afternoon. ,' ' Swarm of Splendid Hid ere. At I o'clock the seats were banked com fortably full and Harry Clarence, the an nouncer, took his signal banner and thunder voice out to the center of tha arena and started things. Five minutes later he was lost sight of In a swarm of the world's best riders. First had come the Indians in squad of six, with Chief Iron Tall last. They formed the front rank and In the suc ceeding rank were the German cavalrymen.

In the third line were the Rough Riders, the Mexicans and the cowboys. In the fourth were the Cubans, the Tenth cavalrymen and the Arab tumblers mounted. In the fifth, western equestriennes and In dian youths and squaws. In the sixth, the Fifth and Sixth cavalrymen. When the picture was drawn Colonel Cody himself rode out to give it its finishing touch and to acknowledge with graceful salute the hearty applause that then reached its great est volume. Promptly the performers sa luted after him; then broke to race about the arena In streams of yellow, red, green, white and the minor shades of the cosmo politan costuming. After this kaledloscoplo esemble had faded, the acts of the bill followed with dash and preclaion. In "the race of the races," Cossack vied with Arab, Mexican vied with Turk and past them all, lashing furiously though they were, the dare-devil cowboy flitted, triumphant. Following this came an exhibition by two artillery squads, who detached carriages, saluted, aimed, fired, cleaned, coupled and were gone again In the twinkling of an eye. It was real cannonading o real that one man was blown to pieces and another maimed la a previous exhibition. lona Real Western Tonehes. Mules drsgged Into the arena two prairie schooners, accompanied by settlers, their families, a detachment of colored infantry, several cowboys and Mexicans. The "greas ers" started roplrg for amusement, the esl ored soldiers to singing of the cherished South, and the settlers' daughters and tour cowboys to executing a lively equestrian quadrille. The band struck u? "Ths Ar kaneas Traveler" and back and forth the ccuples galloped to the promptings of "first eouple forward and the last fall back,1 "salute your pardners," "alaman left and swing right on." The figures were exeeutel with a rapidity and precision that aston lshed, but In the midst of ths dance, just as In the midst of dances years ago,. the Indians came and society leaders turned warriors, repulsing the Invaders and las soing one of them for spoils. . After this there were fancy riding by the puncher and fancy roping by the Mexicans, the lattr climaxing ' by the marvelous work of the famous Vicente Orepaio. In Mlmlo Warfare. Meanwhile there had been erected behind a temporary screen at the north end of the arena a San Juan hill la miniature and In diana posted there in Spanish dress. When tha screen was drswn away ths aboriginal don put out his scouts and detected, enter log at the south end of the enclosure, a few of the hated "Yankee pigs." Tha Yankee pigs sighted the don and bis regiment a about the same time and a minute later the fierce charge was mads, with a Catling gun adding to the uproar. It looked real and It sounded real, but when It waa all over and the curtain drawn again the observer who hrppened to be In the right place (la th "wings") saw the gallant Rough Riders and brave colored cavalrymen reviving the fa! len Spaniards with bltea of Battleax, and be knew that peace agala prevailed; that the battle bad been as bloodless as It was fierce. WMle it raged the crowd waa given a conception of what "A Hot Time" will do fDr a Yankee marching to the front la a camp icene there wire afforded other gltmp ses of army life, and a laugh at the antics of a pig that declined to be offered up after it bid been brought onto the ground la a private box, bonneted groteaquely. When the arena waa - again clear the troup of ten tumbling Arabs tumbled as no man with a sensitive cerebrum would dare tumble. Tbey leaped, flopped, vaulted and turned over the rough ground as though oa a level map, and human pyramids were bullded with eight mea supported by one the aame one who carried four the full this concern con length cf the arena when the act closed. A whirling dervish whirled on a small plat form until other people's heads swam and they cried to pull the devil off. Johnnie Baker'e Shootlns. ' Johnnie Baker shot at all known angle and In nearly his usual form which is nough praise for any one man, as every body knows what' Jonathan's "usual form" Is. The Cossacks' drill was what It has ever been a marvel of horsemanship. They rede In every Imaginable attitude and added a touch of the wlerd by their strange in cantations.' Fcr the exhibition of the life saving corps a spar was rslsed near the center of the arena and over thla the lead weight was shot with a rope attached. A jack tar hauled In the line, and with It a hawser. Then the breeches buoy, and in It Jackie rode to "shore" and safety amidst the cheers of the anxious. After the western girls bad bad a horse race that made even the oldtlmers feel a little nervous about their safety, the cow boys came on with their bucking terrors and for five minutes everything and every body were literally "In the air." A mod era Alexander with the Macedonian name of "Baldy" rode a modern Bucephalus that adds to ita other devil-lnsptred accomplish ments a Side-step that Jeffries would give worlds to master; and a curly-haired cuss with no folks and no fear of the future stayed with a gray bunch of bone and mus cle that bit the ground Just three times In making the full length of the arena. Next, Iron Tall led out bis braves for a war dance, and the painted terpslchoreana Jigged a minute to tom-tom obligate with a very .diminutive redskin 5 years old aa the central figure, gay la war bonnet and grease. To spirited muslo the German, English and colored cavalrymen appeared In saber drll s, fencing matches on horseback and fancy lanclag, concluding with a magnlft cent cavalry charge. This was succeeded by the "monkey drill" of the Sixth cavalry boys, who rode one, two and three horses over hurdles while standing erect, and then put the mounts through their tricks. Colonel Still Shooter. Tha attack oa the Deadwood coach waa accomplished with the usual spirit. Bolo throwers gave a brief exhibition and thea the colonel showed the crowd what an old scout who wears bis glasses when be reads can do with a repeating rifle while riding swiftly over rough ground. Of the forty balls thrown for blm by Johnnie Baker, also mounted, b broke all but nine, and some cf these were thrown so low that they were on a level with the crowd before the marks man could take a second shot. The blood ier s hunt of the seven buffalo followed this act. . . Suddenly out from the Impenetrable re- cesies of the pressing rooms and camp out fit a lone woman dashed and after ber, on steads as fleet as ber own, twenty bowling savages, ens turned ana nrea, nut on tney pressed and her escape seemed Impossible. But cowboys beard and cowboys cams. After them, with equally chivalrous Instinct, the cavalrymen of all nations came also, and tven the heavy artillery pieces. The Indians tried to flee, but were hemmed In and not a red escsped. When the dashing rescue waa accomplished the crowd suddenly re alised that Colonel Cody and bin entire Ctmpany were posed again, bowing a fare welland that the show was over. Crown1 In the Evening. At the night performance the crowd wss scarcely leas than 20,000, packing the seats and th ground space from them to the outside arena rope that has been ustd ever since a bucking horse leaped the first rope at a little Ohio towa and caused a small panic that precipitated part of the crowd through the seats and resulted In one elderly womaa breaking ber arm. i . f v.

PRESENT FACILITIES ARE OF LITTLE USE Cltlsena Complain that They Must Come to Omnhn In Order to Get on an OntaroinK B. & HI. Train. Another effort Is being mkJe by the South west Side Improvement club to induce the Burlington road to locate a depot at Forty fourth and Q streets. This project was started some time ago, but, owing to the absence from the olty of a number of Bur lington railroad officials, the matter was dropped. At a recent meeting of the club it was decided to go ahead now and push tha project. On of the prominent members of the club raid last evening that the residents of South Omaha were practically unanimous In tbe desire to have a depot located at Forty-fourth and Q streets. The Q street car line now extends to within three' blocks of the location of the proposed depot and It la understood that the officers of the Omaha Street Railway company have expressed their , willingness to extend the line to Forty-fourth street as soon as a depot is erected and tralna'atop there. As It Is now South Omsha people desiring to travel on the Burlington are compelled to go to the depot In Omaha and then ride right back through South Omaha. This is considered a waBte of time by many, besides being In convenient. It Is true that there Is a small depot at Thirty-sixth and L streets and four trains a day stop there, but as transportation fa cllltles Into tbe city are lacking It la used by passengers but little. When this station was first built and trains ordered stopped It was the intention of these Interested to en deavor to have the street car line extended from the east end of the L street viaduct to Tblrty-sUth street. This plan bad to be abandoned, for tbe reason that an examine-' tlcn showed that the L street viaduct Is not strong enough to stand the strain of carrying heavily loaded motor care. It Is the intention of the residents of the south western portion of the city to send a dele gation to the city council before long to re quest the co-operation of the city officials la securing this much deal red Improvement. RonnlnsT Short Already. While the 1S02 levy has not been available for warrants a month, yet some of the funds sre already running low. A atatement ior the benefit of tbe council and the mayor is now being prepared by the city clerk. Till will show the amount of tbe levy and the balances in each fund. The police, Are and street repair funds ertf already low. In the fire furd there now remains scarcely enough money to pay salaries and expenses of the depattment for August and September. The police fund Is a little better off, but the ftreet repair fund has about gone glimmer ing. There is some reason for this, as the money available after this year's levy wss made was used to take up the overlap in a number of the departments. As the overlap, which now amounts to tfO.000, Is Increasing steadily every year there seems to be but one wsy out of the dilemma, and that Is to vcte bonds at the fall election for tbe purpose of paying tbeae old deb's. It la asserted that general in debtedneas bonds can be aold at a premium for i per cent. If this Is done, the finances of ths city would be in good condition and the funda now nearly depleted would be rep'.ecl bed. While a large proportloc of the Wo oro trying: to post ovorybody about this tobacco voluo. Will you lond a hand? Try tho cigar, and toll your friends, ogoo! pecple appear to be opposed to bonds It Is thought that when a showing ! made aa to th amount tha rttv would save .n Interest by voting bonds and wiping out the debt that all objections would be overcome. JSo Intimation Yet. . So far the member of tbe license com mittee, Broderick, Welsh and Adklns, have not Intimated In any manner as to what their renort will be on the petition sent to the mayor and council last Monday night asking that saloons be opened on Sunday. At the time Mayor Koutsky re ferred the Detltlon to the license committee It was thought by aome that a special meet ing of tbe council might be called during the' week for the purpose" of. disposing of this matter. Many liquor dealers are of the opinion that aome arrangements will be made before the week is out lor tne opening of the rear doors of saloons on flundav. A llauor dealer said yesterday that tbe fact that all of the seven saloon keepers arrested for keeping open on Sun day bad, without any trouble secured a continuance of their cases until August 14, made It look as If tbe saloons would be permitted to operate on Sunday before long and then the cases now pending would be dropped. Examine Boy's Injnriea. Yesterday Dr. W. H. Slabaugh and City Physician Sapp and City Attorney Mur dock examined tbe Injuries to young R. Sutcllffe. The examination was caused by tbe filing with the city clerk of a claim for damages to the amount of $15,000. While the boy is severely Injured, there 1 no doubt about hi ultimate recovery. He will be disfigured for life. It Is under stood that the city official contemplate making overtures for a compromise. In preference to having the case go before a Biff Government uraer. Armour has received from the govern ment an order for 112,000 pounds of bacon and 116,000 pounds of ham fcr the uae of the troops in the Philippines. Both the bacon and the bam are to be specially pre pared In order to withstand tbe climate. General Manager Howe said yesterday that his company would start at once on th order and would have the entire shipment ready to be loaded on the cars in sixty days. The shipment will be mace from here. A government Inspector will visit the plant every couple of weeke In order to see thst all of tbe term of th con tract are being compiled with and the meat cured according to specifications.
