"There Was a Hot Time in the Old

Thus must the once popular classic
song be revised to describe the rush
ct important events in Omaha during-
the last seven or eight days.
it seemed that Omaha had no .
i
sooner become "Greater Omaha"
than it began to take on regular New
York airs.
Th national convention of the
Traveler' Protective Association of j
America, was tn Itself a big thins and i
lasted from Sunday, when the delegates !
bKan streaming In. until Friday, with i
sometlltiK bis; "doing" every hour of '
the day and events-.
Then there, was the annual commence
Meiita of the. various schoola and col
la Res, with their class days and kindred
activities. Also the closinp of ths gratlo
schools snd the scattering- of the teach

Then along came Cliarles F. Marvin,

I urcoti. romlng upon ui riant out of a

meterrolosical metaphor, and promptly

Scarcely had we ceased talking about
this when the siren whistles blew and
jioMfled us that the Julia had arrived,
vnroute via the Missouri river, from
tilascow. Mo., to Pecatur, Neb., with a
areo of freight. The Julia, and its barge
vere wolconied and Its successful voyage
was taken as prophetic of the time when.
steamers will arrive In Omaha every day,
and perhaps several a i'ay. discharging
and taking on cargoes nt our busy docks.
Then the Real Eatatera.
Everybody was so busy that MO east
ern real estate mn arrived In the city
and scattered all about through the
hotels and local offices before the recep

for them know they were here. But they
ruse to the occasion and the visitors
were shown proper hospitality.
On Thursday a train of armored auto
mobiles rolled across the bridge Into tha
city And attracted crrwds. It was the
expedition of thirty cadets of Northwest
