Ravage, Mrs. Savag and the date digni tary's staff at one band, W. H. Thompson and John II. Mickey at the other. "What's up?" demanded the lord mayor. "The time," responded the trumpeter.

By Command of the King, . SAMSON. Lord High Chamberlain. Welcome by the Mayor. At 1:15 the king himself arrived. The lord mayor and the assembly stood with bats removed while the former said: Most Gracious and Beneficent King Ak-Sar-Ben VIII.: Your loyal subjects have gathered tonight frODV-iI quarters of (Jul vera to taw capital of your realm to dd homage to their 'beloved Sovereign. When .your lUuktrleus. father ivlng Ak-Sar-Ben VlV, of. sacred memory, visited his capitol. one year ago, he tound his kingdom prosperous and his people happy. Today as Your Majesty enters In spienuld state for the first time the city galea you find the evidences of even greater prosper ity apparent everywhere. The royal treas uries are supplied, the royal granaries are tilled most to bursting with choicest grain, and the stalks of corn are groaning In the fields under the.r heavy loads. The hum of Industry and the whirl of commerce are heard on every hand. Your Majesty's sub jects were never so prosperous or so happy a now. Your faithful VU-e-Oerent, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, was hastening hither with all speed to ren der to Your Majesty an account of the way in which he has performed the duties of his vlce-gerency, and to bask In tho dassling sunshine of Your Highness" favor, but owing to serious accident he was obliged to return to Washington, hla capi tol city. We know, O King, that you share In the sorrow felt by your loyal sub jects on account of the absence of Presi dent Roosevelt, who is serving Your Maj esty and the people of Qulvera so faith fully and so well. As In past yeurs we have beheld the glories attendant upon tho triumphal entry of the Kings of the House of Ak-Sar-Ben Into their capitol city, we have felt that the limit of the Ingenuity of man to con trive and of his abilty to execute had beun reached In the preparation of those glitter ing pageants, but tonight as w belio.d the radiance of Your Majesty's presence and the dazzling effulgence of Your Majesty s train, we are bewildered, entranced, be witched, until upon these floats of such marvelous beauty we see in very truth our old friends, the sprites and fairies of our childhood days. We ran almost fancy thai the Queen of the Fnlr.es has given to us drink from the brimming , chalice of the Elixir of Youth, and that we are all chil dren once more. And when the day Is gone and we return once more to our dally avocations, we will be .younger' in spirit, and better prepared for the performance of life's duties by reason of the visions of the Fairyland which we have had tonight. And now, O gracious King, I welcome rou to your Capitol and in token of our loyal allegiance, I present to vou these golden keys to the city gates, and- 1 join with all your loving subjects In shouting wiih one accoru, i.ons live King Ak-Sar-Ben VIII., Long live the King!" At the conclusion of the address the lord mayor deposited the keys In the hands of John Orant Pegg. he delegate from Da homey, who marched down the slcpj and over to the side of the king's chariot. There a page of the monarch took the previous burden and deposited It In the king's lsp. The latter bowed acknowledgement, the populace roared approval and the cere mony of the night was at an end. Throngs on the Streets. Aa the king descended from his car he asked: "Do all those people I saw tonight belong In Qulvera?" "Practically all." was the answer. "That makes them my subjects, doesn't It?" "It does." "Well. Well! I must have subjects for about all the predicates In the book. 8ome. body must needs revise the grammar." The king spoke Jestingly, but he did not attempt, to conceal the pleasure he felt over the Immensity of the welcoming host. Well he may.

At the principal corners these rows multiplied and merged Into on, compact, mass so dense that to push through It was practically Impossible. All the large bulldlag had their windows filled snd the small ones bad to bear many spectators on their roofs. The mammoth stands In front of the city hall, the court house and on another corner at the same street Intersection had not aa empty Inch. All th approaches to the court house were crowded; the roof garden at the Her Grand had only standing room to offer. snd the lawns on Sixteenth street Just north of Howard were literally black with people. Whole families began camping In Jefferson square as early as &30 In, the evening and at many points along the route a single rough board laid across two chairs fur nished seats so good as to sell at a pre mium, t ' . . . Tonight at the castle he coronation of the queen Is to be accomplished and the Ak-Sar-Ben ball, chief of all the kingdom's society events, Is to be given.

"A hundred fires far flickering from the height. Blazed o'er the general revels of the night. The feast In honor of the guests returned. To peace and pleasure, generously earned." "Twas thus that King Ak-Sar-Ben. eighth of the' name, was welcomed to Omaha on his way to the royal csstle where he will await - his coronation this evening, whan the youth, strength and beauty of Qulvera will assemble with bright auguries for his reign. Twenty floats accompanied the king upon his entry. The subject for these floats was determined upon by his royal highness and his counselor soma time ago', when the fol lowing took place, reported by the. royal scribe: Late In the reign of AK-SAR-BEN VIII.. In a conversation holden with the sooth sayers and wise men of hla Court, thus said the mighty Samson: "I fear m much, the times bo out .of Joint. Men rush madly to and fro, the world Is filled with columns of figures and nanus clutch fever ishly at dollars. Ever and anon fall men to their long sleep, overwearied with the struggle. Yet the beautiful World wags on, with room for all and plenty, and men be brothers. Is not the life of a child, In much, the wiser part? The dimpled fingers are busied In wondrous ways, yet at even tide comes rest Trustful hearts, unspot ted from the world, find In simple things abundanc Tender eyes and clear, see. In very truth, elves, gnomes, sprites, fairies and beautiful things we cannot grasp. Therefore," continued he. "for one night I will that all shall be children." Thus the Knlghta of Ak-Sar-Ben present In the year of Grace MCMII for their annual pageant, "The Festival of Fairyland." The Title Float. ' "By wells and rills In meadows green. We nightly dance our heydey guise. And to our fairy king and queen We chaunt our moonlight minstrelsies." Entwined with flowers, shimmering with light, soft sprays of ferns and blossoms, that fairies' lovs covering all; with horned griffin looking from above, and over all the glamour of tho lights, appeared the title float, bearing the legend, "Festival of Fairy-Land." The horsemen leading this float were C. T. Johnson and H. T. Clarke. Jr. The King I The King!" "Therein 'twas brilliant all and light, A thronging scene of figures bright. As when the setting sun haa given Ten thousand hues to-summer even. And from their tissue fancy frames Aerial knights and fairy dames. To him each lady's look was lent. On him each, courtier's. ye was ,bent" ( For on the second float,' guarded by his own especial sentinel Stood hut serene and royal highness King Ak-Sar-Ben VIII; two burning censers sent up Incense rare before the tnroQa; the eagle bearing gar lands of richest flowers led the way to the pleasant retreat which stood at the end of the Journey In the favorite palace of the kng The whole ablaze with lights which flashed back from the gleaming armor of the knights, and from the golden throne, while on the throne In state sat the augut-t ruler tor whone coming the faithful knights and squires have been preparing for months.

Robersoo. . - Flower Queen's Daasjhter. j "There fell a silvery, silken veil of light Upon the upturned faces of a thousand roses That grew In an enchanted garden Where no winds dared to stir." And well were roses strewed, for In the third float reclined the ' flower queen's daughter, while he fore her stood the brave prince who had dared the dragon's grand rrother, with her three heads, and all the brood of dngons, to restore her to her home. He had already made friends of the kings of the fishes, of the eagles and the foxes, and hud been glveri1 the wonderful foal which was to carry himself and the daughter of the queen of the flowers. Gar lands of flowers everywhere rosos bright and eglantine, entwined with glowing lights upon this float, while a spraying fountain sang a lullaby before the dais upon which the maiden was seated that maiden who as a wife was destined to spend half of her days under the ground with, her mother and absent from her husband, when the flowers were not In bloom. On this float were Julius Rosenzwelg, captain; W.' T. Johnson, Ed Palmer and Harry Kelby, while the es corting knights were F. B. Smith and S. H. Nelson. Alice In, Wonderland.

The Cheshire cat. smiling- It has smiled sines Lewis Carroll first recorded the Journey of Alice, and as it smiled at her from the tree, was seen on either side of the throne- on which the king and queeu sat. . Even Carroll ns'sr dreamed of the glory which surrounded the creature of hi Imagination last night. Tbs frog, the hare and the turtle, with the other men, women and animals In ordinary life are: F.

And standing thus, he aaw within Th robber band, ha said." For the eighth float told the story of the donkey, th dog. th eat and the cock who went to Bremen to make their fortuaea as songsters and who routed a robber band enrouts by the efficiency of their harmoni ous song.' Th treatment of the float was novel as well a thorough, th robbers fly ing from th doors and windows of th house. C. H. DeWall was captain, with Al r. Lurinaher. J. W. Marshall. H. B. Cooper. William Wendhasat and T. H. BroadQtld; with N. E. Dillranc and T. f. Baits as es corts. - Golfen Mermaid.

S. Caldwell, while the guiding knights were E. F. Bralley and Fred Busch. All Babs. "She was an Abyssinian maid And on the dulcimer she played, ( Singing of Mount Abar'aJ." But the dulcimer had given place to the tambourine when she sang before All Baba and his two friends, after the latter had solved the mystery of the cave and had mourned the brother whose cupidity bad led to bis undoing In more senses than one. None but the richest man In Bagdad could have prepared such a conveyance as that In which All Baba and bis escorts followed the person of King Ak-Sar-Ben. On this float were W. O. Shane, captain, D. A. Johnson, D. Cowleson, A. E. Ander son, and William H. Lister, -while It was guarded by M. Cavanaugh and T. B. Hol brook. The Lorelei. "Above, the maiden sltteth, a wondrous form and fair. With Jewels bright she plalteth her shin ing golden-hair. The waters dark have caught them, both boat and boatman brave, 'TIs Lorelei's sonp that brought them beneath the foaming wave." There on the rock sat the Lorelei with Homing robes and golden hair. Supported by her father, the ancient River Rhine, she lured the venturous boatman to his doom. Wild dashed the choppy waves, whlly scenes from Rhine land reflected . back a hundred (amps. The boatman- was John Drexel, the float being guarded by Mr. Ket tering and Max Goldsmith. The Polder and the Fly. "Will you walk Into my parlor?" said the spider to the fly: " 'Tla the prettiest little parlor that ever you did spy." And surely it must have been a fairy spider. Indeed, which spun the web, car ried on peacock feathers, on the ninth float. Files buzzed around Its treacherous snare, but none had ventured in. Those on this float were: D. J. O'Brien, captain; Ed Heyden, Frank Dunlap, Ed Yates and George Toozer, the knightly escort consist ing of P. A. Saxon and Mr. Sampson. F.nChanted Island.

Cold-g.lttering through lamplight dim, And broldered sofus on each side In sooth it was a goodly time. For it was in the golden prime Of good Itaroun Alroschld." And this was the story ' of Aladdin and the wonderful lamp, which as natural as life and several times as large, stood on the front of the float. Thereon was the palace which the wonder workers of the lamp had made In a night for Aladdin and the daugh ter of the emperor of China. But the wili est dream of Harouu Alraschld and his visitors was out-stripped by the execution of the artist who contrived the float for tho King of Qulvera, for nowhere was ever seen such a blaze of glory and light as that which surrounded Aladdin, when the per sonnel of the tableau was: R. E. Lucas, captain; Harry B. Davis, George Frost and John Jacobs, with H. F. Dailey and W. B. Taylor as accompanying knights. The Man la the Moon. 'The man In the moon is beaming, love, .The glow worm's lamp Is gleaming, love; The best of all ways to lengthen your days. Is to steal a few hours from night, my love." And while the crowd was lengthening Its holiday, in the manner beet approved by Moore, here came the man In the moon. Such a man as he was! Beaming with the reflected brilliancy of a hundred lights. 'Twas not a lonesome man In the. moon, for the sprites which love the moonlight-cheer bad one of their number to keep him com pany, while the stars, which twinkled around the moou among the clouds which were peopled with mortals of lesser rank, shone like 'diamonds through the night. The residents of this moon zone were George W. Sues, captain; Alfred Mead. J. M. Johnson. 8. J. Potter, I. 8. Hunter and Frank Colvin, with Otto Slemson and J. H. Jones as guardian knights. Fairy of the Dawn. "Now mounte ye, mounts ye brave gal lants all, - And draw your swords amain. , Death's heralds. Fame and Honor, call Is to the field again." Here rode the prince of a mighty race who was milling for his father's sake to dare the perils which surround the waters of health In the Uad o fthe fairy, Dawn. Two of his brother had been baffled In the attempt which they made to pass the dragon with th seven heads, when the youngest and bravest started out to meet certain de feat bad It not been for the Intervention of a witch who provided him with charmed Instruments with which he beheaded th seven-beaded dragon at one blow.

And the rainbow bangs on the poising wave. And sweet Is ths color of covs and cava. And sweet shall your welcome be." But It was not exactly a sweet welcome which greeted th heroic traveler of our youth, for the old man of the aea was on his shoulder and be was deep down In the valley where dead men' bones showed th fat of tboas who had gone before. In fact It was a rocky time for Slndbad. being iihip nna Avarhanvlnr rock and behind the fabled roc which was carrying an egg J la Its taiuni. jonn Keiiy piayco a teas nua on this float and was escorted by Dr. J. P. Lord and H. W, Wadsworth. Tarn O'Khanfer. "This time fonnd honest Tarn O'Phanter As he fra Ayr ae night did canter When glimmering through the groaning trees Kirk Alloway seemed In a bleese." With Its "Weeze" of light and Its dsn'c Ing goblins, ghosts and sprites with Auld Nick ensconsed in the pulpit, here came Tarn O'Phanter on his good mare Meg. She was Just crossing the "key-stane of the brig" and Nanny had caught her. 'Twas Just before the reap where she lost her "aln gray tale" at which the artist caught her. Never had Kirk Alloway blazed so at a dance of demons. Those who took part on this float were: S. Reynolds, captain; T. H. Mann, William Kennedy, G. W. Col ling and H. Welde, while the escorts were Frank L. Brown and Mr. Waal. The Ml.ll Pond Sprite. "The sleepy pool above the dam, The pool hrnestti It never still. The meal sacks tin the whitened floor. The dark round of the dripping wheel." Here waa told' the German story of the mill-pond sprite, and the man who had mad his vow to devote to her the first born of his household In return for wealth. The sprite, half-raising' from the water, was calling for the-vletlm, who half In fear and half In pleasure, stands at the door of the mill. . Water pads and lilies added to the realism of the scene. On th's float John Bishop played the part of th victim, standing alone, bat escorted by Hugo Mel chlor and T. Vr. Blackburn. The Kin of the Golden Hirer. "Fair as the earliest beam of eastern light. When first by the bewildered pilgrims spied. It s nil Ins upon the dreary brow of night And silvers o'er . the torrent's foaming tide.'' '. Here was Illustrated the legend of th King of the Golden River. On one side was shown the cup In which the king was con fined uutll released... by the melting of the motal. There were the heartless brothers turned to atone; their face showing be neath the fountain,, and there also was the merciful brother who carried water not to the river, but to give It to famishing mor tality, and found the golden water of the river after a second Interview with the king, who Stood upon the brink. On this float were F. R.. Straight, captain; Al Pow ell. F. W. Thorn and C. P. White, while It was escorted by E. C. Hodder and Ed Lytle. Princess Mayblossom. "Alas for pleasure oa the sea And sorrow on the shore The Smile that blessed one lover's heart Has broken many more." The nineteenth float was that of the un wIbs princess who trusted her eyes rather than more mature Judgment. She was on her way to Squirrel Island, with thoughts of happiness to be had with tHe ambassador of "the prince, regardless 'of the fairy's curse too sootl'.to' be fulfilled. In greatest state the recently released princess moved In a fool's' paradise. This float was most ornate. The dashing waves against the gal ley's sides, the scintillating' lights, the brilliant shells and flowers formed setting mete for such a 'willful princess, who was accompanied by the following suite: C. L. Porter, captain ;" John Peterson, E. A. Dorani P. C. Hayson,' George T.. Grant, F. W. Fluti auii' W5, C'. riartay, the escorts be ing H. P.' Petri an'd William Berg. ' ' Old t Woman' that Lived In Her Shoe. "There was art oid-womtn who lived, in her shoe.. ,.. . ... Who had so mftny children that she didn't know" what to 'dio." When the' float arrived, however, she had apparently VnadV'ti her mind that It was bedtime for little-"' ones, as she was emerg ing from .her ftaljlJaUqn. armed with her traditional birch' to send them all. to bed. The "clock" on tie float marked a Quarter of an hour btforenJi.- and the parade waa at an end..' On. 'th! last' float C. D. Hlbbard played the ld woman, his escorts being L. A. Manlove and H. MuClure. - GOOD NATURE AND GOOD ORDER Only One Arrest Made During; Parade, and ' that for Small Offense. The extreme good nature and order of the crowd is shown by the fact that but a single arrest was made on the. street prior to the passing of the parade or dur ing Its progress. In this case an over zealous advertiser had employed Matt Mur ray, who la the watchman at the Trocadero, to carry a sign In the procession. Murray's arrest, followed. An hour after the pa geantry had left the streets, only one theft bad been reported to the police. This was of a silver watch and chain valued at $15, which were taken from the vest of Adolph Jorgensen, who lives In the Salvation Army hotel, while he was Intent on the parade. The Council Bluffs cara were crowded until a late hour .with the Iowa people who had witnessed the parade. In order to facilitate the exodus the cars did not follow the usual course around the loop, but used the Y at Twelfth aad Douglas streets. FEW ACCIDENTS REPORTED Large Crowds Handled Daring; the Evening; Without Serious ' Injury to Anyone. Only two street car accidents were re ported last eight, notwithstanding the large number of people on the streets. At 6 o'clock, on Sixteenth street, at its Inter section with Douglas, an elderly woman stepped on the rails directly In front of a southbound car. She could hardly avoid seeing the car., but seemed oblivious to Its approach until the motorman vigorously rang the bell and shouted. She then tried to step back off the track, but It was too late, and the feoxier threw her over back ward in such a way that she would have fallen head first under the wheels bad not Detective 8. S. Drummy, who was on the car, caught her by the arm and held her up until tho car stopped, undoubtedly sav ing her life. She wag not hurt, but was much frightened. - As her friends took her away, from the scene of the accident her name was not ascertained. Half an an hour later, at Twentieth and Cali fornia streets, two men In a farm wagon attempted to cross In front of a north bound car- The car overturned the vehicle. smashing It up and pinning th occupants underneath It. The box bad to be lifted to free the two men, but they were not hurt, and neither were the horses. The vestibule of the car was slightly damaged. ON THE CARNIVAL GROUNDS Thousands Enjoy the Many Shows and Displays Afternoon and Ercalsg. Thousands visited the carnival grounds yesterday afternoon and last evening and thoroughly enjoyed It many attractions. With Omabans were mingled thousand from remote parts from th north lani. th southland. - th east land, th westland and the Bad land.

Mingled with the strains from the Randa Rossa came the persuasive pleadings of the womefi with lunches to sell and the spieler with little to sell but the crowd. Holr Moses had many tourists for the trip across the desert tin the camel's back and the Abyssinian ground hog's little parlor Is crowded every mlnnte. The Bancla Rossa concerts were well at tended.

A prominent Individual coal operator said today that he stood ready to guarantee that the operators would agree to a sliding scale basis of pay comprehending a 2 per cent raise for every 10 cents advance on coal above $4.60 f. o.b., the' present selling price. If the miners' union would agree to put up the bonds to indemnify the operators for damages resulting from strikes caused by the discharge of men for causes other than connection with the union. There was no disorder reported today and no claims from either side as to gains or losses to the working forces at th collieries. All Interest Is centered in tomorrow's con ference.
