JOLLY PARTY ABOARD SPECIAL TRAIN Will Travel Fire Haadred Miles, Make Many Stops at Good Towns ana Yet Not Go Haadred Miles from Omaha. (From a Staff Correspondent.) RED OAK. Ia., July &. (Special Tele gram.) The second annual excursion ot the Omaha "Rainmakers" association, otherwise known as the Omaha Commercial club, began operations at Glenwood with a fine shower. With the underlying Idea that rain make crops, and crops make business, and If there is business In western Iowa It be longs to Omaha, the trip has begun most propltloubly. The heads of Omaha Job bing houses are making the personal acquaintance of the trade and receiving a most cordial reception. This morning a section haa been covered where the farmers own land worth from 176 to SlOO an acre, which means that the town people are correspondingly pros perous. Twenty minute stops were made at Glen wood and Malvern and ten minutes at Hillsdale, Hastings, Emerson and Haw thorne. An hour and a half Is allowed for lunch and a visit with the merchants of Red Oak. The variety and profusion of badges and souvenirs Is one of the features ot the ex cursion. The crowd never falls to appre ciate the Fort Crook band, which makes holiday of the stops In the smaller towns. The party is clceroned by Assistant General Freight Agent Smith, and Division Freight Agent Davenport, of the Burling ton, who are superintending the comfort and safety of the party. One of the most interesting sights along the route Is an Inspection of the active operations of the Burlington In straighten ing and double tracking Ita line. top for Night at Creaton. CRESTON, la,. July 8. (Special Tele gram.) Creaton was the stopping place for the Omaha Jobbers' excursion for the night. The excursionists have been bountifully entertained by the business men of Crus ton. The party left Red Oak at noon and made ita first stop at Stanton, for but ten minutes. At Vllllsca. the next station, the entire party walked up town to a small park In the center of town, headed by the band, which gave an Impromptu 'concert from the park bandstand. The dtisena of Vllllsca were most cordial in their recep tion. Two short stops followed at Nodaway and Brooks. Brooks ta the town which was recently tornado-swept and, although there is only one merchant left In the town, the whole party, 100 strong, swooped down upon him to exact his promise ot his trade for Omaha. Prescott, though a small place,' gave the excurslonata one of the most pleasant re ceptions. One of the merchants, 8. E. Fackler,, proclaimed his loyalty to Omaha by passing around a small card saying he had spent over $100,000 with Omaha Jobbers. After supper at fcreston the bund eater- tain ed the cr iwd from the step of the courthouse, where Mayor . Sullivan bade the Omahan's a oordlal welcome, which was responded to by F. L. Haller and other Jobbers. A reception at the Elks' club fol lowed, where the guests were royally en tertained. The members of the Commercial club excursion Into southwestern Iowa got oft In a bunch and two decorated Pullmans at 7:38 yesterday morning from the Bur lington station; that Is, most of them did. for there were a few heavy eyed and long faced Individuals, be It said to the shame of all the alarm clocks and night clerks in the city, who chased hysterically down the winding iron stairway and watch In hand, glared at a little fog ot dun colored smoke a mile and a quarter east by south of the station. These, the Burlington undertook to forward y No. 4. A. B. Smith, general freight agent of the road. also had his work cut out for him to start with the others of the excursion. As the train was gathering headway with the band playing and the members glowing with a gentle exhlliration of anticipation, Mr. Smith was observed to dash slowly from the baggage room. The station master. who is himself a heavy man, grasped the situation he Is slated for a raise and got the special stopped In time. George K. Miller of the Omaha Crockery company was the first man on the platform at 7 o'clock, cool and leisurely, and waa closely followed by R. W. Moore of the Kirkendall company. As the members as sembled, a few drops of rain flattened on the concrete and the old Joke of the "rain makers" was revived and greeted with the hilarity due an old familiar. The Twenty- second Regiment band from Fort Crook, twenty-three men under Emll Relchardt, made conversation difficult and unneces sary- The Colonel la Basy. Colonel Utt. skillfully Impersonating the whole thing, pervaded the vicinity and was greeted as the shepherd of the flock. The special train consisted of a caboose, a bag' gage car, a coach for the band, two Pull mans with red, white and blue paper trim mlngs and banners along the sides. "Com mercial Club of Omaha," and "Omaha Job bers' Excursion;" and the private car for the railway officials, A. B. Smith, D. O. Ives, W. J. Davenport and Elliott Marshall The use to which all of these cars waa to be put waa perfectly obvious, except the caboose, the noncommittal red freight car with the conning tower. The explanation may lie In the sound the excursionists give the "s." Several of those who accompanied the excursion did not register their Intention of so doing early enough to be mentioned In the former list. Among those were: E. P. Johnson of the Kingman Implement company; R. E. Sunderland of 8underland Bros. Co.; Frank H. Dunlop, Frank J. Has kell of the Burns-Haskell company; R. J. Dinning of Vogele ft Dinning; D. M.

Burket were prevented by business from going. "I believe that this will be one of the best excursions we have undertaken," said one of the party. "We travel 600 miles, yet never getting more than loo miles from Omaha, and all the time through a thickly settled country with a number of good towns. We are now first let Into this ter ritory on an equal footing by the abolition of the bridge arbitrary and should win much trade to our city bv those visits." Army Worma Do Damage. FARGO, N. D..

OYSTER BAY, N. Y July 8-Presldant P.oosovclt and Secretary Hay concluded their conference at a late nour last night. The secretary left Sagamore Hill shortly after 8 this morning. It is understood the exact method of pro cedure relative to the B'Nal B'RIth pe tition to Russia hss not been determined. The petition Itself has not been completed and it can be said thw president deeply regrets the delay. Next week, probably on Tuesday, the president receives Simon Wolf of Washington and Oscar Strauss and Leon M Levy of New York, when It is probable the petition, which haa been revised carefully by Its authors, will be handed to the president. It Is understood the Jewish cltlsens who are advocating sending the petition desire that matters relating to It should be con sidered entirely apart from the Manchurlan question. This, It Is pointed out by State department officials. Is scarcely possible, as the two matters are Inseparably connected in the ratification of the I'nlted Statea dip lomatic relations with Russia. Whether th petition, when completed, will be sent Immediately or whether the Russian foreign officials will be asked first whether It will receive such a presentation has not been determined. The result! would be the same In effect, wnether the one method were adopted or the other, aa. naturally Russia would be cognizant of the nature of the petition before It declined or agreed to receive It.

The falls and cave-Ins are larger and heavier and It Is necessary to haul the debris out In small cars. Only a doten cars, are hauled at a trip, and as the car riers are small, and as the men im nnm. pelled to wait until the train la dumped ana me ears returned, progress Is necessa rily very slow.

About Hunrlse he fell into a more restora tive sleep than lie had hud all night. (Copyright, 1903, by Press Publishing Co.) ROMK, July 9. (New Yolk World Cable gramSpecial Telegram.) Pope Leo woke this morning weaker, but still filled wltli Indomitable energy. He wanted to work, and was only prevented by his doctors. He Insisted, however, In getting out of bed and sitting up in his armchair and declined his valet's asHlutance In so doing. Considerable opposition has been mani fested by the cardinals and relatives of the pope to Dr. Laponnl, who has Insisted on calling In Dr. Carderella, a famous Italian physician, for a conference tomorrow. Medical circles are now disposed to the opinion that the doctors' diagnosis of pul monary hepatization is completely wrong. The latest bulletin. Issued At 8:15 Inst night, rays the pontiff's general condition has improved. On the other hand, apparently wel! authenticated though unofficial reports are circulating freely which declare him sinking so rapidly that a few hours must bring th end. While the pope lies on his deathbed the finger of death seems also to have touched one of his moot Intimate friends, Mon slgnor Volponl, whom he the other day ap pointed secretary of the conslstoral congre gation. Monslgnor Volponl was stricken with syncope today. He fell to the floor, but was carried to his apartments and Dr. Laponnl was hurriedly summoned from the pope's bedside. Condition Declared Better. The official bulletin of the pope's condi tion Issued at 8;U this evening says: The day has passed without recurrence of fainting attacks. The-puis Is leas fre quent, but a little more regular. The breathing Is calm and the general condition improvea. laponni. MAZZONI. The morning bulletin Issued at 8:45 reads: - The night passed tranquilly enough, al though the pon'.lff had no restorative sleep. The pulse was frequent but regular. Breathing was as free as last night The condition of the pope does not permit of a long examination, but it seems that the pneumonia tends to solve Itself and that the pleuric lliiiid is not re-gathering. However, the general condition of th pontiff is not tranqullizing, bee: use of the state of depression which at intervals In creases. LAPONNL MAZZONI. This was taken to Indicate that his con dition was not so favorable as last night, due to the fact that the improvement after the operation of yesterday ha not assumed the proportions the doctors wished. While the inflammation of the lungs Is decreasing th patient's general condition does not Improve and there Is a tendency towards a radical change for th worse. ., The pontiff is extremely weak and even chloroform seems to have lost It power to give the sufferer the relief of tranquil rest. Besides what depresses the )ope la the difficulty he Is experiencing tn breath ing. At limes he appears to be upon th point of strangulation and then his breath ing gradually becomes weaker until his heart apparently stops. Blood Poisoning; Feared. Another great preoccupation of the doc tors Is the derangement ot the patient's kidneys as a result of which blood poison Ins is feared. The outlook now is that the pope's life may perhaps be prolonged more than could have been expected thirty-six hours ago, but the hopes for his recovery are small. The following particulars were secured of the doctors' visit to the pope this morn ing: "How feels his holiness this morning?" asked Dr. Matrcnl. "I don't feel as well. I am weaker," replied the pontiff. "Perhap you did not sleep sufficiently T" "No, no," answered the pope, "I was better last night. I am sorry because today should be a day of great work." "Surely," Dr. Maizonl replied, 'hls holi ness does not Intend to work." Many Things to Do. "Certainly," answered the pope. "I hav so many things to do but I am afraid I have not the strength." Both of the doctors then proceeded to convince the pontiff of th naoesslty for rest, urging him not to place obstacles in tho way of his teoovery. 'I shall do aa you wish," said th pope In conclusion, with a sigh of resignation. Afterwards his holiness expressed a desire to rise, saying he would b more comfortable in his arm chair. The pope's attendant, Plo Centra then proceeded to help him to arise, but the pope refused his assistance, saying he could still move by himself, in fact, with out any help, except that afforded by his cane, the pontiff wslked a few steps to his srm chair, repeating now and then: "I am weaker; I am weaker." Part f the work referred to by th pope wa to repeat a novena to th madonna of th Cererrelltes, which feast begins today. The pope Is a very devoted ven erator of this madonna, always carrying her scspular about his neck. Bampolla Asks Another Doctor. About In the evening Dr. Maasonl was suddenly called out ot th sick chamber by Cardinal Rampolla and a hurried whispered conversation ensued. This gave rise to all kinds ot ru mors, but It was soon explained that Cardinal Rampolla had taken upon him self the duty of acting a roouth-pleve for some of the Intimate Menus and relatives of the pope, who suggested Ilia advisability of calling certain other doctors ia con sultation. lit.
