Borne one bas said that a city may be
relied upon, usually, to entertain a presi
dent about aa (rushlnnly and awkwardly aa
a country girl entertalna her first beau.
Omaha only smiles at the remark as one
with no personal application. For Omaha
began entertaining presidents before It was
out of Ita teens and has had them drop In
several times alnce, with presidential can
didates, a king, an emperor and lordj ga
lore Introduced between times for diver. Is!
asent. The coming of President Roosevelt
Beptcmber 27 la looked forward to w.th
only pleasurable anticipation. The muni
cipal pulse Is not a-flutter and tb muni,
clpal household is not In commotion. Down
In St. Joe the municipal cook la watting
for the municipal buller to decide how the
president Is to be fed, and both the ook
and the butler are In a stew that com
prises, figuratively, the only ration yet de
termined upon. In Omaha the president
will be given whatever he desires. If he
desires anything, and no funs made about
it.
Orant Came First.
The first president to come was Grant,
who arrived Friday, October 1, 1875. at li
ft, m., with Mrs. Grant, Colonel Fred Grant,
and wife, Hon. A. Dorie, wlfo and daughter,
Hon. W. W. Belknap, secretary of 'war;
General Babcock, General Ben'emln Al
Tord, General McFeeley, General Vincent,
Oeneral William Myers, General A. J. Myers,
Colonel Benjamin and Colonel Crcaby. The
train had been met at the Union Pacific
transfer between Omaha and Council Bluffs
by a reception committee taken over In a
pedal car by by Superintendent S. H. H.
Clark of the Union Pacific and composed of
Mayor Champion 8. Chase, United States
enator P. W. Httchock end Messrs. R. H.
Wilbur. J. C. Cowin, O. L. Miller, J. B.
Boyd, E. A. Allen and Ezra Millard.
The presidential party came from Des
Moines, la., where the president had been
attending a reunion of the Society of the
Army of the Tennessee. Its members were
met at the Omaha depot by about everybody
In this end of Nebraska; were loaded Into a
dozen carrtagea and conducted up Tenth
street to Farnam, and up Farnam to the
Grand Central hotel, which occupied the
present site of the Paxton hostelry. Here
the parade was stopped long enough for the
president to be Introduced to the people by
the mayor and to address them "in a tew
well chosen words," aa the chronicler of the
time recorded. The Twenty-third Infantry
band was the executive escort this far, but
dropped out when the procession moved on
up Capitol Hill, via Dodge street from Fif
teenth. Upon arrival at the high school
which then, as now, surmounted the bill, the
president waa presented to Governor 8aund
ra, president of the Board of Education,
and then to the hundreds of children who
were drawn up In line. He spoke to the
children at great length for Grant telling
them that be was glad to stand among ao
many of them In the shadow of the building
la which they might prepare themselves to
become useful men and women and good
Mtliena of the republic, but that he believed
In free speech and therefore was In favor
of other people doing the talking.
Made a General Rouad.
' Driving out the north gate, the president
went down Davenport street to Seventeenth
then to Capitol avenue, to Sixteenth, to
Dodge and to the Judges' chambera in the
United States, courthouse and postoffice
building, in. which he held a reception from
IS o'clock to 11:46, when he waa shown the
Unloa Pacific shops and the smelter In lieu
of an art gallery, library and packing house,
the art nooks that are now relied upon
when distinguished visitors are to be enter
tained.
. The ten of the 4arty, meanwhile, had
gone to the Grand Central and the president
joined them there after hia drive. Dinner
waa served and the party left la President
Grant's special car at 2:30 for Salt Lake
City.
Grant'a more extended visit was made No
vember 1, 1879, after he had ceaaed to be
president and when he was returning east
on hia tour of the world. Ho had landed In
Can Francisco from the ship City of Toklo,
September 21, and stopped In Omaha from 1
o'clock Saturday afternoon until 9 o'clock
Monday morning. Upon this occasion there
waa a very extensive parade marshaled by
George W. Llnlnger. General Grant spoke
at the high school grounda for two min
utes; held a reception at the old customs
house afterward; attended a banquet that
evening at the Wlthnell houae, where the
Crelghton theater now atanda; aat under
Rev. J. B. Maxfleld at the Flrat Methodist

He apoke (rem tin ccurt h usj heights: then
crossed to The Bee building and held the
first presidential reception ever held, in a
newspaper building. The beautiful Albam
bra court had been profusely decorated
and upon entering the building he was wel
comed by E. Rosewater and by him con
ducted to the north aide of the court.
where he stood at the base of the ate?,
which were banked with flowers and hung
with flags, while people honored with ths
elaborately engraved Invitation cards filed
past him for an hour or more and out the
east entrance. Later he was entertained
In the editorial aanctum and aat in Mr.
Rosewater's chair in playful pretense of
editorial authority. At S o'clock he de
livered an addresa to the acres of children
assembled on the High school grounds. At
4 o'clock he and his party lunched with
local citizens of prominence at the home of
Alvln Saunders. At 5:15 the party left, the
president saying: "I am most certainly
surprised. Omaha Is a grand city one of
the moat magnificent we have visited. I
like Its open-banded hospitality."
President Cleveland's Call.
President Cleveland with h!s charming
June bride, hia private aecretary, Daniel
Lamont, his former law partner, Colonel
Blssel, and Postmaster General and Mrs.
Vilaa, reached Omaha from the cast and
on his way to Kansas City, at 10:&0 o'clock
the mornln of Wedneaday, October
12, 1887. He asked to be ex
cused from making even the re
quested five-minutes speech and waa In the
city scarcely more than an hour, or only
long enough to drive over the business por
tion, as far. west as Twenty-second street
and aa tar south aa Brownell hall. The
most notable features of the day were the
great procession that gave him escort, the
splendid showing of uniformed Knighta of
Pythias and the tan hat that Isaac Sim
plicity Hascall. present councilman from the
First ward, wore. It la recorded by tht.
types that "Haacall's beat friends and
worst enemies failed to recognize him In
bis sllk-lapelled overcoat and shiny
beaver."
Judge J. M. Woolworth, Senator Mander
son, Dr. George L. Miller, George W. Hold
rege, W. A. Paxiou, Geueial G. B. r-ir.dy.
Max Meyer, Hon. James E. Boyd and Hon.
Charles H. Brown aa a welcoming com
mittee for Nebraska went to Council Bluffs
In a special car, which waa there coupled
onto the presidential train when.lt waa
pulled Into the Iowa town by a locomotive,
the engtneer of which was, oddly enough,
of the name of Jamea O. Blaine. In addi
tion to tbla committee there waa Con
gressman John A. McSbane, the special
spokesman, who gave the formal greeting
as the train passed over the middle of the
Missouri .river bridge. Congressman Mc-
Shane (whom the prealdent embarrassed by
addressing as "Mayor") and Governor
Thayer rode with the president and Mrs.
Cleveland In the front carriage, which was
literally covered with handsome out flow
ers. Mrs. Cleveland, radiantly beautiful and
engagingly frank, whose grandfather had
once resided here and who owned Omaha
property, was quite as much the center of
Interest as her distinguished husband, but
had to smile dubiously when there con
fronted her at Sixteenth and Douglaa
streets a crayon portrait of Susan B. An
thony, over which waa written, by the er
ring enthusiast: "Welcome, Mrs. Cleve
land."
There were twenty-three carriages In the
procession and the president seemed much
pleased with ecordlallty of hts reception.
McKlnley Well Known Here.
He who auccumbed one year ago today
to the wounds an assassin had Inflicted
eight days before made Omaha a longer
visit than any other president and was
the central figure In the greatest gathering
the city has over known. The event of thai
visit were so memorable that It seems
unnnecessary to recount more than the clr
cumstance of time. He arrived at 9 o'clock
the evening of October 11, 1891, and re
mained until 9 o'clock the following Tbura
day morning, or October 15. The Ak-Sar-
Ben Illuminated parade were repeated for
him the night of hia arrival and he re
viewed them from a atand In front of the
city hall where the clty'a welcome was
first formally extended to him. Wednesday
day was Presidents day oh, memorable
date for Omaha at the Tranamlaalssippl
exposition and he was on tha grounds from
11 a. m. until 9 p. m., holding a reception
in the government bi'dlcg at 2 o'clock In
the afternoon ana dining with lead lug local
citizens In the Market cafe a the early
evening. With him on thia visit were Sec
retarles oi the Treasury Gage. Bllas of the
Interior, Wilson of Agriculture, Poatmaater
General Smith, Lieutenant Oeneral Nelaoa
A. Allies and others scarcely less prominent
In the natlon'a affairs. Ha was In Omaha
again early on the morning of May 28, 1901
but did not leave the car In which waa
Mrs. McKlnley, who bad been taken so
seriously 111 In California. Hta first visit
to Omaha was on August 5, 1892, when he
opened the Crounse campaign from a plat

then governor of Ohio. His second vtslt

The action of the Mercer-Baldwin Ore
and. police board last Monday night In
placing the name ot J. J. Miller ot tb
Eighth ward on the substitute list of the

In which that board Is being made a part
of the Mercer political machine. Mf. Mil
ler a long time ago put In an application
for a position' on the fire force, aad the
Mercerltes, thinking that he still desired
the position, sought to get him la line for
their congressional candidate by placing
his name on the substitute list.

Mercer outfit," said Mr. Miller yesterday,
and 11 doea them no good to put me on
tho subatltute list, for I will not work for

bought It and by resorting to the cyanide
process made It a first-class mine, paying
good dividends. The latest example ot Ne

In the Dugway and Deep Creek districts of
western Utah, the distance from ' any
shipping point had daunted local opera

remained for Omaha people to demonstrate
these capabilitiea.

chiefly Nebraska people, proceeded to take
up some of the best known claims In the

A Comparison of Shorthand Systems
( Crocs and Improved Grogg )
Inasmuch aa Mr. Gregg, the author of Gregg Shorthand, ha sought to creat the
Impression that the Improvements made upon bis system by Prof. Moaner la his new
text book are ot little value, we submit a comparison ot six words, and wa eoull
thousands. If space permitted. A careful examination of these will show whether
or not he has made any valuable Improvement.
The Gregg system ha done away with shaded strokes, different position, and
relieved th student of th arduous taak of committing thousand ot word-algn
to memory. Because of this, hundreds ot achoola have dropped the old Pttmaalc
system and adopted the Gregg. The Gregg la based upon correct principle.
Tb only fault there I to find with It Is that there are many worda In oar language
which cannot be written In full unless extremely long outline are used, and It I
an Impossibility to make these long outlines when taking rapid dictation. Teach
ers and writers of Gregg, all over the country, have Importuned Mr. Gregg to ao
develop his system that longs word could be written with outline of reasonable
length. He has spent two years In the revision of hi text book, but be ha tailed
to provide relief. Instead of changing hia system, so a writer ot It, by adopting
new principles, could do away with these long and crude form, he tell him, (leu
son IX, revised edition of pure Gregg), that "whenever he conies to a long word
he must only write a part of It." Those who have followed such Inatructloa hava
found, by sad experience, that when only a part of a word la wrlttea they caa only
read a part of it when they come to transcribe their notes. How much batter It
Is then, to have a system so complete and so fully developed that when you come to
a long and difficult word all of It can b written with a brief and legible outline.
The recent Improvement Prof. Mother ha mad upon the Gregg system enable the
writer to do this.
We give below six words written In pure Gregg (two upper lines); also the same
words (lower line) written in Improved Gregg by Prof. Mosher. The worda In both
systems are written out in full. It will be noticed that Gregg requires two lines,
while Improved Gregg requires but one. When w look at the pur Gregg outltaea.
It la not surprising that Mr. Gregg caa write only a part ot long worda, dropping th
terminations.
Portland, degradation, gangrene, Grand Rapids, dreamland, landlord.
If there are any principles In Mr. Gregg's revised edition, by th application of
which the above words can be written In full with a briefer outline than that
given, we are unable to find them. In order that othera may be Induced to look
for them, we offer the following prtsea:
PRIZE NO. 1. We will give $25.00 Jo anyone who will writ in full and In
pure Gregg, any two words with briefer outlines than those given above la the flrat
two lines.
PRIZE NO. I. We will give $50.00 to anyone who will write any four of these worda
as specified In Prize No. 1
PRIZE NO. 8. We will give $100.00 in gold to anyone who will write all alx of
these word as specified In Prize No. 1.
NOTE Mr. Oregg. himself, will be permitted to compete for any or all of tho
prizes. It is a free-for-all contest.
All answers must be received on or before November 1.
'We now teach Improved Gregg shorthand. It Is from 25 per cent to 50 per cent
more legible and speedy than pure Gregg. Prof. Moaner's new text book upon Im
proved Gregg showing is now ready.
Copies of It will be eent to any address for $1.50.
