With the glad abandon to homage auch,
as niiht b uccoiUeU to a vlsltlna poten
tate, Omaha gave iUelf over to a mighty
reception to Theodore Kooievelt. The whole
' city represented by officials of top rank,
big iirofesslonal and business men and
with notable citizen from all over the
late, opened Ita arms to the greatest pri
vate cltlsen In the world.
In the maelstrom ot thla meeting of the
, man and the city, Theoaore Roosevelt, the
man, aliown forth aa a, personality that
ahed auch an Impression ot bigness aa goes
with an official director of national aifairs.
lie appeared quite In spite of hlmseir, a
real live president to aa great an extent aa
It he baa been coming from a second In
auguration to the chlefest office of the
land.
In the throng of celebrities that person
ally paid their respects to the returned
hunter were a governor, an ex-governor,
mayor of the city, and several congress
men and senators, besides dozens of other
city and state officials and prospective
officials. There also were a number of
Just pluln citizens, to whom the distin
guished guest paid as hearty and Individual
attention aa to the more preteutlously titled
ones
Bomo of those who greeted Colonel Roose
velt were Governor Shallenberger, Ex-Gov
ernor tiheldon. Mayor Dahlman, Bonator
jUdrlch, Lieutenant Governor Hopewell and
a score of others. A few army officers
Including General Smith, head of the De
partment of the Missouri, also walked
through the several groups of new found
' friends around the former president.
World's Greatest Cltlsen.
It was Uie coming ot the world's most
spectacular private cltlsen the one mon
who, holding no office, unfettered by the
gold lac of official life, brought to tumult
of cheers aa no other man for the take of
the man could do.
It was Roosevelt day In Omaha from the
time the train pulled Into the station. The
city was attuned to the occasion, and the
colonel always attended to anything he
meets from a diplomatic 1 unction In London
to a rhinoceros In Africa, gave his hearty
word that he was glad to be here. He did
not once say the oft repeated "d-e-e-llghted,"
but he did say "mlglity glad," and his smile
carried conviction of sincerity.
Omaha being the half way-house between
New York and San Francisco, the gateway
to the west, has within Its comparatively
young existence, shown hospitality to many
notable persons, but no demonstration per
haps has surpassed the magnificence of the
Roosevelt welcome. Grant, the man who
led the army that saved the union, came
once as president and later aa traveler re
turning from his world tour; McKlnley,
the martyr, was here and welcomes befit
ting their station were forthcoming but
there was a dash about the Roosevelt wel
come yesterday that waa distinctly
Rooseveltlan In its nature. As he srode
with the stride of a soldier up the depot
platform, his wrinkled old black coat denot
ing need of a pressing establishment, Tom
Flynn, the man who through political af-
liitatton 'Wouia be -least expeerea lit y
Roosevelt crowd,, exclaimed.
"What a political mixer that man la!"
The Plain Cltlsen.
. Colonel Roosevelt, be It known, has never
depended upon sartorial peacockage to
carrj' him through life's Journey, He
scorns conventionality with the abandon of
genius, and there sets the waiting crowds
to cheering. His garb as he arrived in
Omaha Friday morning might well befit the
conservative country merchant from the
outlaying districts. His old black hat waa
crumpled, but he waved It with a hand that
had the grip of a lion.
Hundreds of people lined the viaduct over
looking the station long before the train ar
rived. Others came briskly, a little late,
eagerly Inquiring if the colonel had gone.
It was a feverish crowd, and while there
was no blocking of passageways. It was7 an
elboWrto-elbow task to squirm through.
Vptown to the Omaha club, the colonel
rode in Gould Diets' automobile, seated be
side Victor Rosewater, chairman ef the re
ceptton committee. There, be had in accor
dance wtth the program, an open forenoon,
which meant that he would' not be burdened
VJ with speechmaklng. Moat men would have
.jflrested after the strenuous Journey the colo
7 ncl has been undergoing, and the open
v forenoon was meant for rest, yet, true to
his nature he waa active, and looking about
the club rooms, he asked many questions
about old friends In Omaha, Indicating
desire to meet .them.

ment expecrt Afterwards the autoa car
ried the party to the McCullough ranch
four miles west ot town where Mr. Mc

In spite of the heavy rains of the last few
days, autos could be run over It at the
highest rate ot speed, and any kind of a
load could be hauled without cutting Into
the roadway.
The party returned to town about
4:30 and the board of supervisors met
for the purpose of passing on the propo
slUon or devoting the Inheritance tax fund
In the county treasury, some Jl.XO, to the
building of a model 'road along the Union
Pacific tracks from the west boundary ot
the city. After some debate It was de
elded that the county should pay for one
mile of this road, providing It . did not
exceed the cost ot (1,200 per mile.
In the evening there was a supper served
by the Women's Relief corps in Cuddlng-
tdn hall, to which the members ot the
Commercial club and Its guests sat down.
After the supper Mr. Dodge gave an ex
tended talk on good roads. He said that
good roads in Merrick county would prob
ably average between S500 and 1700 per mile.
His address was enthusiastically received.
nd at its close he waa plied with ques
tions by those interested in knowing more
about good roads. The good roads move
ment has received an Impetus in Morrlck
county which will result in the construc-
lon of many miles of good roads before
another year is passed, and already sev
eral road drags have been put to work.
