' Come to Applause.
With music galore, 'brilliant uniforms,
blooded horse and weather that wu Ideal,
the., parade which yesterday morning
marked the opening of the Iowa Firemen'
Stat association's annual tournament was
a magnificent pageant. Thousands lined
the streets and the fire fighters were ac
corded, a continuous ovation along the line
of march. The length of the parade can
he better Imagined when it la stated that
It took over half an hour to pass a given
point.
Outside of the many bands which niled
I lie air With music, and the varied uni
forms which lent a brilliancy of color to
the- scene, ther were numerous attractive-
features in the parade. The Mentser
drill corps of Marion, with its showy uni
forms, attracted probably the greatest at
tention. This was to b expected from
the fact that it has long held the title of
th champion drill team of the west. The
evolution of corps during the parade
proved a revolatloi) to the immense crowds
which thronged the sidewalks. Every turn
and evolution was nertarmed with a pre
cision most remarkable. Red Oak with Its
115 men In line and their natty tan uni
forms, not to speak of their marching,
which was almost military In Its precision,
proved a strong second favorite with the
crowd. The Rock Island Railway Drill
corps of Valley Junction, with its white
and gold Uniforms, also caught the popu
lar . fancy and received Its well deserved
share of the public ovation.
Twelve young lads, attired In bathing
suits, clippers and large southwestern caps,
hauling a miniature hose reel, fitted up for
the occasion by Jo Smith & Co., were an
amusing feature of the parade, and the
youngsters fully enjoyed the novelty as
much as did the crowds.
onto Fine Horseflesh.
It Is not often that such a display of
blooded hofno flesh' ha been seen in Coun
cil Bluffs as was the case yesterday morn
ing. Jack and Jack, the eighteen hands
high ' team of Des Molhes, the champions
of the state, with their coats shining like
satin) Bloux City running horses, Jack
and Jim and Midnight and Dynamite; the
two team of Council Bluffs and the beau
tiful bays of Clinton were in themselves a
sight not soon to be forgotten.
Owing .to ;the length of the parade and
the fact that there was delay in getting It
started, owing to the late arrival of some of
the companies, the line of march wtfs
somewhat shortened and changed at the
last minute, but Judging from the crowds
on. the streets' it Is doubtful if any one
missed the opportunity of .witnessing it.

Crowd a Heeord Breaker.
The crowd yesterday was the biggest
Council Bluffs ha witnessed tlnce th mem
orable day when the people of Iowa con
gregated In this city to welcome home the
Fifty-first- regiment of Iowa volunteer
from the Philippines.
"The crowd beat anything we ever han
dled on Ak-8ar-Ben or any other day,"
stated Trainmaster Charles Barnett of the
motor company last night.
"It was the biggest parade and the larg
est attendance at the opening day of tho
tournament In the history of the associa
tion," said President E. E. Parsons last
evening.
Mr. Parsons suggested that owners of
automobile keep their machines standing
during the paid department events, as tho
steaming of the chug wagons excites the
horses.
Even with the large number of extra po
lice on t:. grounds It was Impossible to
keep the crowd off the track yesterday aft
ernoon, but the management will make an
extra effort to do so today In order to give
Barney OM field a chance to beat yester
day' record. Mr. Oldfield said last even
ing: "The track at the driving park Is the
second fastest circular track In the coun
try over which I have driven. If the people
will only keep back and give me a chance I
will do my best tomorrow to clip a few
seconds oft today's time, but In order to do
so I must have a clear track. Why, every
time I turned a corner the people on the
track ahead of me looked like one big, black
spot, and It 1 fortunate I did not run over
omeone."

ALFONSO GUEST OF LONDON
Zing of Spain Given Freedom of th Citj
by th Lord Major.
LORD LANSD0WNE GIVES LUNCHEON
Waltelnvr Reld nnd the Archbishop
of Cnnternary Present Ant In
Which His Majesty la Riding
Catches Fire.
LONDON, June 7. Under Improved
weather conditions King Alfonso of Spain
paid an official visit to the city today and
was entertained at luncheon at the Guild
hall by the lord mayor and corporation of
London. The processions both going to
and coming from the city were of the most
Imposing character and afforded the people
an opportunity of giving a hearty welcome
to the young monarch.
Later in the afternoon King Alfonso and
King Edward went In a motor car to Rane
lagh, where a polo match had been ar
ranged. Lord Lansdowne, secretary of state for
foreign affairs, tonight entertained some
sixty gentlemen In honor of King Alfonso.
The party Included the archbishop of Can
terbury, Whltelaw Reld, the American am
bassador, and a number of other ambassa
dors and ministers. Premier! Balfour, sev
eral members of the cabinet fnd Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman.
After the dinner the Spanish ruler wa
present at a brilliant ball given by the
Marchioness of Londonderry.
Reception at Guild Hall.
King Alfonso today visited the city
of London and enjoyed the hospitality
of the lord mayor and corporation at
the Guild hall. For the first time
since his majesty's arrival in England the
weather was sufficiently fine to enable him
to appear In an open carriage and for the
first time anything In the nature of large
crowds gathered to welcome him. The wel
come to the young monarch was of the
heartiest description. The route of the pro
cession, which passed under a continuous
archway of flags and flowers, was lined
with troops. Halts were made at the boun
daries of the different borough to receive
and answer the addresses of the local au
thorities. At each of these points the deco
rations were of an especially elaborate
character and the crowd was notably large.
King Alfonso unrestrainedly showed his
pleasure at the demonstrative greetings
which culminated In a scene of great en
thusiasm as he entered the Guild hall.
There were assembled a brilliant gathering
of members of the royal family, cabinet
minister and naval, military and court
officials. The city's address of welcome
was presented to the king in a gold casket
King Alfonso did not reply to the presen
tation address, which' referred to the ad
miration which the citizens of London bore
for the art and literature of Spain and the
services of that country in the cause of
civilisation, and which recalled the com
mercial tics uniting the two countries.
At the conclusion of the presentation of
the address of welcome to the Spanish
king a procession was formed, King Al
fonso escorting the mayoress to the ancient
hall, where luncheon was served to a most
brilliant company. At the conclusion of
the luncheon Lord Mayor John Pound
toasted the king, saying that Londoners
recollected that several centuries ago an
English princess became queen of Spain
and that four queen consort of English
kings had been princesses of Spain.
King Alfonso expressed his deep grati
tude for London's reception and proposed
the health of the lord mayor. The royal
party immediately afterward returned to
Buckingham palace. The streets' were lined
with soldiers and police, who kept the
crowds back, and every other precaution
was adopted to Insure the safety of the
king.
, King-' Anto Take Fir.
The only unpleasant incident of the day
occurred In Bond street early this morning.
The Spanish king and three other persons
were the occupants of a motor caorand had
passed through the shopping district with
out attracting unusual attention, when the
car was discovered to be on fire. The king
alighted and returned to Buckingham pal
ace In another motor car provided by de
tectives from Scotland Yard, who were in
attendance.
ELEPHANTS WITHOUT SENSE
Two Ponderous Beast with Fort-pano-h-Sells
Show that
Are Idiots.
In th Adam Foranatia-li-flella TtMi.' rf.
cus, which reaches Omaha Sunday and ex-
niDits here Monday, are two ponderous ele
phants of th weak-minded varletv Th.
are African; the only two that have ever
enjoyed tne distinction of visiting American
shores. They are perfectly idiotic They
constituted the main features nt a .hinina
of rare and strange beings of the earth
recently imported from Calcutta by th
Forepaugh management. Their ear are of
enormou magnitude, being four and one
half feet In diameter and about thirteen
feet in clroumference. The ear lap over
about sis inches at the top and meet at
the back of the animal's neck, Then they
hang down over the bulging side of th
beast like great blankets.
The African elephant Is seldom seen by
the casual traveler, owing to Its great vigi
lance and power of moving. They are men
tally weak In fact, they are called the Im
becile elephants and cannot be trained to
perform like their Asiatic brethren. They
will eat plug tobacco or apples containing
cayenne pepper from a man's hand toduy
and not remember him tomorrow. "Kongo"
and "Zeffa" are the names of the two Im
becile with the Forepaugh-Sells show.
They will take part In Monday's street
pageant, alongside of thirty of their Aslatlo
friends. "Kongo" and "Zeffa" always are
securely chained, which are secured to their
glunt tusks and to their foreleg. They
are tractable, but unless closely watched
by their keeper are llabl to lose their
way.

Praising Thomas.

Resolution condemning the action of
city officials in going to Red Oak and testi
fying to the good reputation of Tom Den
nison for Integrity and honesty were passed
at a meeting of the Omaha Real Estate
exchange Wednesday afternoon. The reso
lution was Introduced by W. L. Selby
and speeches were made In Its favor by
W. T. Graham, D. C. Patterson. W. O.
Ure, C. F. Harrison, F. D. Wead and J. F.
Flack. Those who talked against Its pas
sage were D. V. Bholes, Harry Tukey and
Byron. Hastings. Twenty-seven members
were present. A viva voc vote was taken.
Following Is the text of the resolution:
Whereas, The mayor, chief of police, two
members of the city council of the city of
Omaha and the clerk of the district court
or Douglas county went to Red Oak, la.,
and there testilied that Tom Dennlson
bore a good reputation for honesty and in
tegrity in this community, regardless of
the fact that he had for years been en
gaged in criminal pursuits In this city and
regardless of the fact that he had been ar
rested on sundry occasions on charge of
felony, and
Whereas, All these are public officials,
elected or appointed, theoretically at least,
to serve the people and enforce the laws,
and, therefore, their acts are subject to
review by this or any other public body:
and
Whereas, The community has been
humiliated beyond measure and its ma
terial Interests have been greatly damaged
by the standard of morality and citizenship
set, up by these offlcluls as the Omaha Ideal;
therefore be It
Resolved, That we repudiate the senti
ments of these officials and we resent the
Implication that those engaged In gambling
or unlawful and criminal pursuits are con
sidered good citizens of Omaha; that we
declare these officials do not represent, but
misrepresent, the sentiment of this commu
nity; and.
Resolved, Further, That a police officer
who holds that a man Is a good citizen who
(by his own confenslon and boast) has been
engaged in criminal business for twenty
years, snd who stands In such relation to
crime and criminals (from the Pacific to the
Mississippi), that they flock to his rescue
Is totally disqualified for the position he
holds and that such an officer Is a menace
to the community: and,
Resolved, Further, That we declare to the
world that these officials do not represent
the mental, moral or material Interest of
this city; and we further declare that the
standard of morality held bv the vast ma
jority of its citizen is as high as that of
any community.
The following resolution with regard to
Elmer E. Thomas was passed unanimously
without discussion:
Resolved, That the charge reflecting on
the character of Elmer E. Thomas made
at the closing of the Dennlson trial at Red
Oak, la., by persons representing the de
fendant were cowardly and entirely un
founded; that we hereby express our con
fidence In the integrity of said Elmer E
Thomas, and wish hereby to make public
testimonial of the fact that in his resi
dence in this community of more than
fifteen years he has maintained an un
impeachable character, and today repre
sents the best type of citizenship.
This Thomas resolution was introduced
by F. D. Wead.
SOME CADETS CANNOT CAMP
TwentyFlve Htirh School Soldier
Who Flunked' Most Stay
at Home.
About twenty-five high school cadets will
not go Into annual .encampment at Mis
souri Valley this morning. They will
wear the gray at home, but can t partici
pate in the. Joys of soldiering In the field.
This is the result of their failure to pass
successful examinations in at least three
tudles, separate AOflapajt from the mili
tary life.
A year ago the Board of Education made
a rule requiring the' cadets to carry suc
cessfully three studies or forego the annual
encampment. Examinations Just completed
reveal that the number of young guards
men reported will miss something this year.
The cadets who have been good and ln
dus rious during the school year will as
semble at the high school at 8:30 this
morning and, headed by Commandant
Stogsdall and the band, will march to the
Webster street passenger station, where a
special train will be waiting to carry them
to the Valley about 9:ro. If the morning
be fair the usual gayety, color and femi
ninity of the occasion will environ the de
parture. Tents, baggage and supplies went out
Wednesday by freight, and the signal corps,
under the command of Lieutenant George
Boyd, left at 11:30 to lay out the camp, dis
tribute the tents and camp equipment and
get things In readiness for the arrival of
the Infantry.

WHERE DISEASE MS BREED
No Need to Fear "Germs" if the Stomach Be
Healthy.
The Ideal breeding place for disease germs
Is a weak stomach and digestive system.
The food. Instead of being assimilated,
turns into a sour, slimy, fermenting mass,
causing gases, distress after eating, bloat
ing, nausea and flatulency. The poisonous
germs that are given off from this un
digested food enter the blood, and pimples,
bolls, and blotched skin is the result.
Nervousness and sleeplessness come more
often from weakened digestion than from
any other one cause.
No ordinary food digestive can give last
ing relief. It Is absolutely necessary. If on
wishes to be well, to use Ml-o-pa, the only
known remedy that soothes and heal th
mucous membrane of the stomach and
digestive tract, stimulates the solar-plexus,
and strengthens the nerves of the stomach.
Ml-o-na la a guaranteed cure for all dis
eases of the stomach, excepting cancer, a
guarantee being given by Sherman A
McConnell with every package they sell,
agreeing to refund the money should th
remedy not give perfect satisfaction.
Ml-o-na costs but 80c a box.
