Falrmount park was the objective point for Rhe thousands from early in the day until Jate In the afternoon. Besides the special ettractions that had been provided there was a general disposition manifested to take advantage of the day for an outing in the woods, and hundreds of picnic parties, from $he ordinary family size up to dimensions ncluding whole nelghborhoods, were scat- Sered all over the grounds. Lunch baskets snd spreads were everywhere. The motor ®ompany up to 4 o'clock had carried be- tween 4,000 and 5,000 people into the park, #nd almost as many more found other means of reaching it. The program of exerclses was carried out successfully and very much to the enjoyment of the crowd. Among tne bands was the Beventh Ward Military band of Omaha. At 10 o'clock Rev. J. E. Simpson offered ayer, and at its conclusion the entire au- nce’ foined in singing ‘““America” with triotlc fervor and some discords. Ad- es were made by Prof. W. S. Prouty, . T. W. Willlams and Father Smythe. Declaration of Independence was read by Prof. Paulson. At noon ali those who had not provided emselves With a basket dinner gathered around the locality where a big ox had been ted to a turn and enjoyed an old-fash- ed barbecue. The afternoon was devoted to games and waces. There was a fat man's race, a lean man's race, a short and tall man’s race and @ woman's race, with a few juvenile races thrown in for good measure. Those who dis- tinguished themselves most in their athletic achlevements were Orville Brown, who won the lean man’s purse, and Miss Grace Lamb, who won the woman’s champlonship for a 300 yards straightaway dash against a field of hot favorites. But few accidents occurred during the \)day. One of the firemen in the Upy "Broadway hose house conceived a plan of Wccentuating the boom of a cannon fire- eracker by placing it under a cracker box and firing it. A surgeon cut the largest picce Jeft of the box from the young man's le; At a blacksmith shop on Lower Broaway crowd of men and boys were engaged in firing anvils, and one of the men evolved another original plan for making the thing 00t louder. He placed an iron ring around the hole where the powder was placed and filled the space with more powder. This gave about a double charge. The other anvil ‘was put on top and the charge fired. The only plece of the ring that has been heard of was found sticking in the calf of the man’s Jeg who fired the borb. L. Bank, a street fireworks seller on Broadway, had a litle fun with his stock after a boy dropped a firecracker in its midst. Halt a dozen cannon firecrackers went off with prompt unanimity, accom- panied by a number of skyrockets and roman candles, while the remainder of the stock was distributed over the street.

The sham battle between the High School eadets and the Dodge Light Guards took place last evening In the circus grounds at the corner of Avenue D and Twelfth street and was witnessed by several thousand peo- le. There was not much of a battle, and 086 who went expecting to see any mili- tary evolutions were disappointed. The boys slmply stood In two parallel lines and pelted the atmosphere with a fusilade of Roman candles for about fifteen minutes. It made quite a brilliant spectacle while it lasted.

The little blue badge gave free rides on the motor and free entrance to the Grand Plaza, and once Inside, all the varied attructions were given over to the commercial pllgrims and their friends. The orchestra played its choicest music The rain of the night before cooled off the air and washed the lawn, and the place never looked prettier. The picnlckers all agreed that the weather furnished by the committee on weather, consisting of Joe Jones, J. B. Peregoy and M. F. Rohrer, could not have been improved on. ROHRER WELCOMES THE PILGRIMS After arriving at the Grand Plaza the company assembled at the pavilion and was tendered a welcome by ex-Mayor M. F. Rohrer. [lie traveling wmen and saleswome he said, “find a market for the product ~ of the world, and such being the case they richly deserve thelr share of the best things on earth. The beautiful L water, abunda ke Manawa, of deop, clear tly supplied with game and | fish and bounded by sandy beaches which equal thos of the Atlantia and Pacific oceans, was discovered and appropriated to its present use about the time that the Order of Commercial Pilgrims of America began to dawn upon the minds of its found ers, and we, realizing the fact that every Commercial Pilgrim who has traveled the burning sands of the desert from one oasis to the other, alwiys appreciates a good drink—of water, decided that a pilgrimage to this spot should appropriately celebrate the 118th Independence day of the United States. We have not been unmindful of the fact that we are honored by the presence of traveling men who are gow nearing their three score and ten years, and to them the Grand Plaza park, which commands a- full view of every hoat, salling vessel and steamer, will be for the time being a haven of rest. He then stated that the ride to Manhat tan b h on the good steamer “M. F Rohrer” which had been contemplated had to be abandoned on account of the injury to the boat in the recent storm. He took occassion to cail attention to the advantage of Council Bluffs os a place to live or to do business in—its six parks, containing 69 acres, its tw -two miles of paved streets. its twenty miles of street car lines, and not least, its Union Driving park, whose succes: is In a measure Indicated by the fact of the value of shires of stock having risen from $1,500 to $6,000 in the past four years. The welcoming address wis greeted with rounds of applause, and then A. W. Johnson read the Declaration vf Independence. After music by the band H. S. Blinn made a very y addres " me of the Dangers that on “S en Our Government and Its Institu- DISPOSED OF THE LUNCH. But after all, the traveling men had not come together to hear speeches altogether, and so they began enjoying themselves in other ways, and the first way they chose was_by putting out of sight the fine luncheon that every one had brought with him. After dinner came the races and other contests of more or less skill. The fat men, each of whom weighed over 200 pounds, got out for a foot race, and H. S. Blinn succeeded in bagging a fine silk umbrella by coming in first, and W. W. Lunger a pair of slippers as second prize The lean men then showed their skill in sprinting, and W. A. Stevenson won first prize, a silk umbrella, and Paul Eggers, the second, a pair of slippers. C. L. Mammill will wheel his coal in this winter in his own wheelbarrow, as a reward for distancing all competitors in the wheel- barrow race, and M. F. Rohrer, who made second time, will have a box of cigars for his friends to smoke. The ladies then came to the front and tried to thrcw a base ball without hitting the ground. Many of them succeeded, the sphere knocking the cuticle off the heads of those who rashly stood anywhere but in the rear when it struck the air. Mrs. L. W. Garrutte of Lincoln won first prize, a_hand- painted fan, and Mri, D. Risley of Omaha won second, a china fruit plate. After the ‘sports the travelers put In their time swimming, boating, loafing and eating, finally winding up the day's pleasures with dancing in the pavilion to the music of the Grand Plaza orchestra, under the leadership ot E. D. Patten Tho affair was a_most successful one all the way through. The attendance was large enough, but many from ocutside towns who had intended coming were compelled to send word that on account of the r 1 dis- turbances’ they we ving t attend a pienic that might be a week long. e Blufrs, The Burlington route has arranged a spe- clal excursion from Creston and intermedi- ate points to Council Bluffs and return, Sun day, July 22. The rates for the round trip are hardly one-third of the regular rates. From Creston only $1.50, Red Oak, §1.00; Glenwood, 50c, and from other points in proportion. The train will leave Creston at 6:15 a. m., and will reach Council Bluffs about 10 o'clock. Returning, the train will aye Council Blufs at 6 p. m. The excur- sionists can thus, at a nominal expense, have practically an entire day to put in at the Lake Manawa Grand Plaza, or nhattan beach, boating, bathing, ete. Concerts in the parks, picnicking, and numerons other entertaining features await those who take advantage of these excursion rates.

No admittance to Grand Plaza will be charged to persons who.desire to rent boats or bathing suits, Ice crean and refreshments served In the pavilion of Grand Plaza An Adjustable Name, E. Casady, the popular young assist- ant United States district attornéy, ran up against an impecunious gentleman yester- day who requested the loan of half a dollar. In some way he had found out Mr, Casady's name, and rapturously announced that his father's name was T. . Casady. The rela- tionship having thus been established, Cas- ady handed over the half dollar without a murmur, as he would if he ran across any other namesake who happened to be walking on his uppers. During the day he learned something that established his belief in the doctrine of total depravity. Mentioning his encounter with the bum to Postmaster Tom Bowman, he Irurnml.lh:u the same fellow had been to Bowman and claimed to be a son of a man whose name was Thomas Bowman, He got another half dollar from Bowman. The two wish The Bee to warn their friends to take in their names when they see a man heave in sight who looks as though he might be looking for a stray half dollar.

All the same, that bank check seemed ‘curious even to them, and it s hanging up in the bank now.” Struck Him With a Gun Barrel. Last night Sam Goldsmith was celebrating the Fourth in front of his father's saloon at Ninth street and Capitol avenue by shooting with a shotgun at the glass fnsulators on the telephone and telegraph lines running past the place. Sam was swinging the gun around in a careless manner when James Grimes, a Missour! Pacific brakeman, remonstrated, saying that he was liable to Shoot some one. Sam replied by striking the railroad man across the head with the barrel of the gun, cutting a three-inch gash to the bona over the left eye. Grimes' wound was dressed by Dr. Towne, but the injured man refused to flle a complaint against his assailant, as he had to go out early this morning on his train. She Was Nearly Square. Mrs, Sarah Geseller, wife of Jacob Gesel- ler, died suddenly last Friday afternoon at Circleville, O. She was the largest per- son in the county, and was apparently en- joying the best of health. She was attend- ing a sick daughter, and lay down to get a much-nceded rest. ‘'When an attempt was made to rouse her it was discovered that she was dead, She died of suffocation. She welghed 430 pounds, and measured 68 inches in height and 61 around the body, being al- most as broad as long. She was buried y terday. The body was so large that it could not be taken out of the house through the doors or_windows, and one of the doors nad to be cut nd enlarged. The coffin was too large for the hearse, and a plain wagon was brought into requisition. Eight men lowered the remains into the grave. el Tricd to Kob n Woman, As Eva M. Burton, 8439 Larimore avenue, was going last evening from the northern termin of the North Twenty-fourth street car line to reach a motor train at Twetny- fourth street and Ames avenue, three masked men stepped out from a dark’ place and at- tempted to hold her up. She called for help and started to run, frightening the footpads away. The police were notified and searched the neighborhood for the fellows without success. A litt rlier in the evening this same trio, it upposed, robbed two men who were returning from the celebration at South Omaha. They only got a few dollars.

People began to pouring into the olty as ecarly as 7 o'clock in the morning and they kept on coming all day long. Thero was nover such a parade in the city a swas witnessed at noon. As early as 9 o'clock the different divisions began forming on tho streets and for three hours the air was fillled with music. Chief of Police Brennan and a platoon of police headed the procession, followed by Franck's brass band of twenty-fiye pleces. Next came Chief Mar- shal Hoctor and his aides; then the Omaha guards and the Thurston rifles, both execut- ing military maneuvers as they passed. The Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, turned out in full numbers fro this city, Omaha and Council Blufts, under tho command of Messrs. Hedges and Hatcher. The Hibern- fan Knights made a gala showing, with thelr brilliant uniforms, and were cheered as they passed by their friends. Colonel T. F. El- llott turned out with 100 old soldiers and sallors, headed by a drum corps from the local post. The Scottish society from Omaha, with & band of bagpipers, were a fenture of the parade. A beautiful float rep- resented all the states and was_occupied by young girls dressed in white, Mayor John- ®on and the speakers of the day, followed by members of the city council in carriag came next.

Members of other Bohemian societies numbering 100 followed. Another brass band headed the Omaha and South Omaba mail carriers’ associations. Then came the industrial display, the pack- ing houses and all the business houses hav- ing floats in line. Charley Scarr'’s band headed the cali- thuplan display. George Dare brought up the rear with a false face aggregation which made everyhody laugh. Citizens in carriages and on foot followed the parade to the park, where many en- joyed an old fashioned picnic. At Syndicate park Mayor Johnston was master of ceremonics. After the band played a national air the mayor made an ad- dress of welcome and was followed by Rev. R. L. Wheeler. The quartet'of male vocal- ists then sang and the oration of the day was delivered by A. S. Churchill of Omaha. When it was announcetl the races would take place on Twenty-fourth ‘street near N the big crowd centered in that locality.

Both companies gave very satisfactory exhibit Wallace McPhale and Willie Hines raced thelr bronchos for a half mile, and the lat- ter won the medal. In the ladics’ fooot race four women started.

The fat man's race was enjoyed by every one, as the contestants were all well known South Omaha men. City Treasurer Hoctor won with Councilman Bulla a close second. The hose race contest taken part in by the stock yards team, the Cudahy team and the Hammond team was quite exciting. This was the last race of the day and considerablo money changed hands on’ the result. The time of the different teams for 100 yards was as follows: Cudahy team, 36%; stock yards team, 36%; Hammond team, 39%. All the teams were slow at the coupling and the hose leaked for each of them.
