TRADE EXCURSION STARTS I
Omaha Jobbers ind Manufacturers Off for
Trip Into Iowa.
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

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

of the station. These, the Burlington

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

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-

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'

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:

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

During the early pHit ut the nignt His

by difficulty in breathing. Dr. Laponnl and
l'opc Leo a valet did liiclr best to nuui iHli

About Hunrlse he fell into a more restora

(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
