Lincoln's Ready Welcome Always Awaits the Visitors
Time brings its changes and as the
years come and go this has been
shown in no greater degree than in
the growing west, where cities spring
up almost in a day and wild prairies
have become the most fertile and
beautiful garden' spots the country
has ever seen.
, Especially is this true in the history
of Nebraska's beautiful capital city.

I There was nothing to obscure his
fision. To the west was the winding
.stream now known as salt river, with
here and there a clump of trees grow
ing on its banks. Just a short dis
tance away was a low ravine, origi
nating in a small basin, while in an-
Where the ravine then lav is now
the location of some of Lincoln's
best store, buildings on N street.
From the basin rises ' the lofty and
beautiful twelve-story Security Mu
tual Life building, while from the
pond has arisen the Rudge & Guenzel
department store building, the big
Little building, the City National
bank building and several others.
Just a few hundred feet from the
shores, of the pond stands the fine
ten-story First National bank build
ing and the fine, modern Terminal
building now under process of con
struction, while not far from the
small basin stands what is said to be
the finest and most up to date depart
ment store building in the west, that
of Miller & Paine,

its inhabitants. In 1871, only forty
five years ago, the little village, then
grown to a population of 2,500, was
made a city. In 1880, nine years
later, it had grawn to 14,000, and in
1890, only a quarter of a century ago,
it had reached about 35,000. Now it
boasts a population of over 60,000
and is the second largest city in the
state, only out-ranked by Omaha,
which, like Lincoln, has grown in a
quarter of a century from a small city
to the magnificent metropolis of the
state, with a population of 200,000.
Unlike a great many other cities,
Lincoln built its residence portion
first. This does not mean that the
business section was not provided
for, but, on the other hand, its busi
ness streets were laid out in broad
and roomy streets with the seeming
idea that at some time the city
would grow and the streets would be
utilized as they are today. Conse
quently, when the business portion
began to grow it had a backing in
the residence portion which insured
a healthy future.
Taking care of visitors is where Lin-
' :
Amusements Uptown
L : J
To the state fair visitor who after
spending a day at the fair does not
care to return for the evening pro
graras, there will be found plenty of
amusement features in town which
he can take advantage of. Many of
these will be of a high-class char
acter and well worth spending an eve
ning of recreation. ....
The Oliver theater, as usual, will
present for the benefit of the public
a program of some of the best plays
that can be secured. In all proba
bility the Lincoln Flayers, the stock
company now under engagement for
the summer, under the supervision of
John Prince, will be the attraction,
and, if so, those interested in the
legitimate drama will have an oppor
tunity to see and hear something
KUVU. '
I he New UrDheum will put on its
usual program ot mgn-ciass vaude
ville and pictures of the best char
acter; the Strand and the Lyric will
give programs of vaudeville and
pictures, also of a high class, while
the Elite a .d the Lily will give
vaudeville and pictures of the dime
variety. The Majestic and the Mag
net will give purely pictures of the
very highest class, while the Muse
will follow along the same lines. The
Wonderland and the Palace will be
the nickel shows, both of which give
a very high grade of pictures. There
fore, the state fair visitor who spends
an evening up town will have plenty
to take up his time and a variety to
select from.
Added to these attractions will be
the two parks. Electric park, with
its beautiful electric display and free
shows, and Capital Beach, with its
big lake for boating and its salt water
lake for bathing, which, with its free
shows, will be the mecca to which
many will go, especially if the week
is a warm one.
Added to these attractions will be
the free band concerts and the pleas
ure of mingling with the crowds,
which to many is a treat well worth
enjoying.
The Nebraska
Sanitarium
The Nebraska Sanitarium, situated
at College View, still continues to be
the place where people go who want
plenty of fresh air, good nurses, com
petent physicians and the best of
treatment.
Situated as it is on the hill near the
College View university it is an ideal
place for sick people who need fresh
air and a quiet place free from the
busy hum of industry and the buzz
and whir of street cars.
From year to year this institution
has continued to grow until its repu
tation as a nice place to go has
reached to nearly every state in the
Union. Patients who desire the cli
mate of the mountains, coming from
the east, find it to their advantage to
stop here before continuing to the
higher altitude, that the change may
not be too much for them. Many of
them doing this have discovered that
their trip to the mountains need not
be taken for the pure Nebraska air
and the treatment given those
in charge of the Nebraska sanitarium
has done all that was expected from
the trip to the mountains and have
gone back to the east fully recovered.
I
coin shines. For a city of its size it
has 'adequate means for taking care
of many conventions or gatherings
which may select it as it place of
meeting. Lincoln began its work of
taking care of visitors away back
yonder when the state fair was lo
cated in its present location a mile
north of the business center. From
year to year as the attendance at the
state fair has increased Lincoln has
kept pace with the increase and has
been able to take care of the crowds.
Her reputation as a host has
brought to the city many meetings
of a national character and people
from all over the United States can
be found who wilt testify to its ability
to take care of any ordinary gathering
wnicn mignt select tne city as its
meeting place.
This is made possible by reason of
the fact that Lincoln has many good
hotels and innumerable rooming
houses.
Chief among its hotels are the Lin
dell, the Lincoln, the Victoria, the
Windsor, the Central, the Capital, the
Bennett and the Western. Added to
these are the Delevan, a family hotel
and two or three others .w hile several
smaller houses of that character are
scattered about the city.
Added to these are the rooming
houses, most of them of good char
acter and well managed. Then too the
people open their homes whenever it
is necessary to take care of visitors
over and above what the hotels and
rooming houses can take care of, so
take it all, around no visitor to Lin
coln, whether he comes during a con
vention or at any other time need fear
that he will find a place to sleep.
When one has found a place to
sleep he quite r.sturalty De-gins to seek
a place to eat. In this he will not be
disappointed. All of the hotels, espe
cially those of a first class nature
have a first class dining service while
short order cales are a part ot their
equipment. The other hotels either
have a dining room in connection or
under another management is con
nected with the hotel.
Boarding houses and cafes are scat
tered about the city in all directions
and it is no trouble to find plenty to
eat and what is important, of a good
sanitary nature.
The hotels, cafes and eating houses
of Lincoln are conducted under strict
rules laid down by the state pure food
commission and the city health de
partments working in unison have
made a condition in Lincoln regarding
service to patrons in hotels, cafes and
eating houses which insures the vis
itor good and clean service.
During state fair week, when it
would naturally be expected that ser
vice would be crowded and necessar
ially of a perhaps questionable char
acter, especial care is taken by the
authorities that there shall be no let
ting up of sanitary conditions, and as
the servers of the public have learned
that the best conditions must be main
tained during fair week, there is hard
ly ever any criticism and Lincoln thus
escapes much of the feeling which
people have for a city after leaving it,
because of lack of proper vigilence on
the part of the officials of the city
whose duty it is to look after the wel
fare of the visitor.
