MAKES REQUEST FOS SPEECH AT OMAHA
Baes that Blar Tent WoiM Be

Hear Freeldeat.
If a committee appointed by-Vice Presi
dent Foeter ot the Omaha McKinley club
can succeed In Its efforts. President Roose
yelt will deliver a hort address In Omaha.
At the meeting of the club Wednesday a
committee was authorized to confer with
the board of governor of the Knight ot
Ak-Sar-Ben to co-operate with the board.
If it deelred assistance. In the reception ot
the president. Frank Crawford, the presi
dent, left the city before the committee waa
appointed and the Tlce president decided
that a speech from the president of the
United Btatea would be desl-able. He
had a conference with Senator Millard, who
Informed Mm that the understanding with
President Roosevelt was that he would not
be expected to speak In this city. With
this understanding the president Informed
his private secretary. In the presence of
the senator, to make a notation on the
Itinerary bulletin. "No speech at Omaha."
Mr. Foster has prepared a letter to the
president, asking him to reconsider the
'plan and to promise to make a speech while
la the city.
"The president will arrive here at B:80
and remain until 10:30," said Mr. Foster,
"lie will review the parade of the Knights
of Ak-Sar-Ben from probably I to 10
'clock. He will have time, previous to
the parade, to make a short address. He
la to make speeches . In every town he
visits on the trip, with the exception of
Omaha, and there is no reason why he
bould make this exception. x
Sacgrata Metlaj la Teat.
The musical featlval will be over at that
time and we can probably make arrange
ments with the Auditorium company to
leave the tent on the grounds. This will
make an ideal place for the address and
certainly nothing Is more fitting than that
It should be under the auspices of the Mc
Klnley club." ,
The board of governors, whose guest the
president will be wJille In the city, has
made no preparations for his reception, at
It has not learned his wishes. A letter was
aent to- htm Thursday to ascertain what he
desires, but as the reply could not be re
celved in time for the meeting last night
nothing was don looking to hla entertainment.-
"It la safe to say." said a member of the
board," that the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben
wll not favor any modification of their pa
rade. We will certainly desire to show the
president the nature of our electrlo pageant
and to do thia we could not have any addi
tions to It in the form of marching clubs.
There Is plenty of time to arrange for the
reception and the entertainment of the
ctlci Ma frnm the parade and
this we will do as aoon as we know the d
lrea of the president."

TAILORS GIVE THEM TROUBLE!
Army Officer Advise that Xew t'al
foraaa Caa Nat Ba F ra
vlded at Oaca.
Officer of the army are still talking
about the new uniforms provided for In the
regulations, and their Interest is excited
by a letter motived by one ot them sta
tioned at Fort Leavenworth from a leading
army tailor In New York, to whom an order
for a new uniform was sent. This tailor
said In effect: "It la Impossible to fill
orders for the new uniforms provided for by
the recent regulation. In the first place,
there la none of the required material In
the United States and It will have to be Im
ported. It will therefore be Impossible
for officers to be provided with the new uni
form by January 1.' as we cannot get the
material In time. - There Is still more diffi
culty with the uniforms, as no process ha
been discovered which will produce a fast
color In cotton of the shade decided upon
for those uniforms. The color can be pro
duced In woolen goods, but In cotton It
will fade."
Some of the officers do not like the ex
planation of the tailor, and one ot them
said: "We do not blame the tailors for
kicking. Many of them are heavily stocked
with the material required under the old
regulation, which they will now find un
salable, but the idea of saying that the
good for officers' uniform will have to be
Imported 1 too much. A to the color of
the soldier' uniforms, I believe that It has
been used by the Canadian troops, both In
cotton and woolen, and that no dissatisfac
tion over fading ha been reported."
BEACH BALLOON BCRST!.
Aeroaaats Barely Eaeasa Snaday At
teadaace Largest Yet.
Snnday was a record breaker at Court
land Beach. It wa the banner day ot the
season. So great wa the attendance that
the street car company increased the num
ber of train on the Courtland Beach-Sherman
avenue line until It had more car in
servloe than any two other line in the city
combined. Notwithstanding the continued
extreme low temperature of the day every
body wa seemingly happy and contented
except the bathers, who found th atmos
phere much cooler, than the water. The
balloon ascension was one of the most ex
citing events of the kind ever experienced
about Omaha, An accident with loss of life
was narrowly averted by the presence ot
mind of Sam Murphy, the well-known aero
naut Murphy, having , burned hi band In
Inflating the balloon, did not go up, but su
perintended the Inflation ot the big bag.
and when the word "everybody let go"
were given the balloon shot upward at a
rapid pace, and Just there I where a aerie
of nnfortunate accident occurred that,
luckily, did not result fatally to the aero
nauts. The . Immense weight ot the tour
parachute and their occupants by soma
means caused on of th ropes to snap aud
one parachute dropped before It was ten
feet up and before the balloon wa at a
height of 600 feet, with the three parachute
attached, the. balloon split from top to bot
tom, th unusual amount of hot air re
quired tor such a weight apparently causing
?"""ti eanvaa baa to burst. Here
is where Murphy displayed hi great pres
ence of mind, and at th top ot hi voice
shouted to those on the parachute to "cut
loose." which they did immediately, the
empty canvas dropping to th ground Ilk a
hot. narrowly missing th descending' para
chute. While the lmmence audiences ap
parently appreciated the performance of
th Blcketta aa much as usual, the amount
of applause waa conspicuously light, but
when the orchestra ended with "Auld Lang
Syne" the audience recognised this aa a
farewell to the Bichett and the applause
waa then both loud and long-continued and
fully appreciated by the Blcketta.
For th week the program la: Frleco and
Faust In three big aerial act at each per
formance, the return of the favorite col
ored male quartet and balloon ascensions
each day. .

LOCAL RAILROAD MEN BELIEVE REPORT
Omaha Mea to Bo Solicited: to Assist
ia Oraaalaatlrta of Coaioaay
and Coaatractloa of
tho Hew Liao.
A well defined report i current In local
railroad circle of a movement to build a
line between Omaha and Topeka, Kan., that
will directly connect the two cities and open
up an undeveloped but rich and valuable
territory Intervening between the proposed
termini. This report is said to emanate
from authoritative sources and Is given cre
dence by many leading local railroad men.
The statement al?o come from parties in
Topeka, that th scheme ia accredited there,
and furthermore that some of the most sub
stantial and Influential cltliens of that city
are back of the project, in which it 1 th
purpose to Interest Omaha capital aa well.
Thl scheme involve the construction of
a road along the most direct mute that can
be laid out, traversing a muntry in both
Kansas and Nebraska than which there 1
no better in the west a stretch of coun
try, too, that is now poorly provided with
railroad facilities, and the tnrnlng over of
the projected road to the Missouri Paclfio
for operation.
Preseat Conaeetioa Poor.
At present connections between Omaha
and Topeka are decidedly poor. For some
time there have been rumor ot more or less
reliability that profitable communication
would be established between them, and
more than once it has been reported the
Missouri Paclfio had under contemplation
such a scheme. It is well known thai
much of the territory through which thle
road would run, which Is naurally tributary
to Omaha and also to Topeka, la reached
by lines which divert the traffic to Kansas
City. This traffic, the greater part of it, at
least, ought to come to Omaha, and It Is
with this thought in view that Omaha men
and capital will be solicited, first for the
organisation of a company to carry out the
scheme and then for the actual construc
tion of the road. "
A the Missouri Paclfio now ha a Una
terminating in each city, it 1 not doubted
that the road could be induced to accept
the management and operation of th new
road, were it built.
