Late.' last night. It was unofficially an nounced that the boat, stands a mighty fine show of see'.nic- "that old Huannee shore," and that In a short while. It was said' that the Saturn niado the last excursion trip out of th port 'f Omaha last nleht, and that today or to morrow the craft will drop down the Missouri to Kansas City. Whether the Baturn will ensago In the excursion business there and operate as in former days could not be learned, as neither of the proprietors could be lo cated last night. The trip up the river was a quiet one. Less than three score persons paid their quarters to make the ride and these spent the evening- danalng or watching the water from the top deck. When the boat landeo, the scene of the night before was repeated. Not a dis pute or disorder of any kind occurred, and the squad of police sent to 'Eighth and , Douglas streets at the time the boat' landed found themselves utterly use less. Bheriff McShano had two deputies on duty on board the boat last night, for the first time since the Baturn has been docking here. Perltont Advertslng Is tbe Ulg Jleturns.
