10 WANTS ROOSEVELT T0 SPEAK Voo President of MoKinley Olub Writes Letter to Obief Exeoutiye. MAKES REQUEST FOR SPEECH AT OMAHA Tent Woumld RHe for Meeting of Those Who Debire to Hear President. If a committes appointed dy-Vice Presi- @ent Foster of the Omaha McKinley club ean succeed In ita efforts, President Roos wvelt will deliver & short address in Omah At the meeting of the club Wednesday a committee was authorized to confer with the board of governors of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben to co-operate with the board, 1f it desired assistance, in the reception of the president. Frank Crawford, the pres| left the city before the committee was and the vice president decided a speech from the president of the United States would be desirabl He bad a conference with Semator Mtllard, who informed him that the understanding with President Roosevelt was that he would not be expected to speak in this city. With this understanding the president informed Bis private secretary, in the presence of the senstor, to make a notation on the itinerary -bulletin, “No speech at Omaha.” Mr. Foster bas prepared a letter to the president, asking him to reconsider the ‘plan and to promise to make a speech while in the eity. “The president will arrive here at and remain until 10:30," sald Mr. For “Me will review the parade of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben from probably 8 to 10 o'clock. He will have time, previous to the parade, to make a short address. He S to make speeches in every town he visits on the trip, with the exception of Omaha, and there is no reason why he should make this exception. N Suggests Meeting in Tenmt. *“The musical festival will be over at that time and we can probably make arrange- ments with the Auditorium company to leave the tent on the grounds. This will make an {deal place for the address and certainly nothing is more fitting than that 1t should be under the auspices of the Mc- Kinley elub.” The board of governors, whose guest the president will be while in the city, has made no preparations for his reception, as 1t has not fearned his wishes. A letter wi sent to bim Thursday to ascertain what désires, but as the reply could mot celved i time for the meeting last night nothing was. done looking to his entertaln- ment. “It is safe to say,” said & member of the board,” that the Knights of Ak-| wil not favor any modification of tI rade. We will certainly president the nature of our electr! and to do this we could not have any addi- tions to it in the form of marching clubs. ‘There is plenty of time to arrange for the reception and the entertainment of the P utiva axida from the narade and this we will do as soon as we know the de- sires of the prosident.” INVOLVES RESCUE HOME SITE At the end of the five years the note was to rum, February 1, 1900, Whinnery pald 'BILLY OSTRANDER IS DEAD ‘Well Mnown Saloon Man Expires at His Home After u Short Illness. | Willlam B.

His death occurred at his TAILORS GIVE THEM TROUBLE Army Officers Advised that New Uni. forms Cam Not Be Pro- vided at Onoe. Ofcers of the army are still talking about the new uniforms provided for in the regulations, and their interest Is excited by & letter received by one of them sta- tioned at Iort Leavenworth from a leading army tatlor in New York, to whom an order for & new uniform was sent. This tailor id in effect: “It 1s impossible to flll orders for the new unifofms provided for by the recent regulations. In the first place, there is none of the required material in the United States and it will have to be im- ported. It will therefore be impossible for officers to be provided with the new uni- forms by January 1 as we canmot get the material in time. There is still more dim- culty with the uniforms, as no process has been discovered which will produce a fast color in cotton of the shade decided upon for those uniforms. The color can be pro- duced In woolen goods, but in cottom it will fade.” Some of the officers do not llke the ex- planation of the tallor, and one of them eal “We do not blame the tallors for kicking. Many of them are heavily stocked with the material required under the old regulations, which they will now find un- salable, but the {dea of saying that the goods for officers’ uniforms will have to be imported 1s too much. As to the color of the soldiers’ uniforms, I belfeve that it has been used by the Canadian troo] both in cotton and woolen, and that no dissatisfac- tion over fading has been reported. BEACH BALLOON BURSTS. Aeron rely Escape—Sunday At- tendance Largest Yet. Sunday was a record breaker at Court- land Beach. It was the banner day of the season. So great was the attendance that the street car company increased the num- ber of trains on the Courtland Beach-Sher- man avenue line until it had more cars in servios than any two other lines in the city combined. Notwithstanding the continued extreme low temperature of body was seemingly happy except the bathers, who found the almos- phere much cooler than the Wi balloon ascension was one of (I citing events of the kind ever experjenced about Omahs. An accident with loss of life was narrowly averted by the presence of mind of Sam Murphy, the well-known aero- naut. Murphy, having burned his band I inflating the balioon, not go up, but su- perintended the inflation of the big bag, and when the werds “everybody let ‘were given the balloon shot upward rapld pace, and just there is where a of unfortunate accidents occurred that, lucklly, did not result fatally to the aero- nauts.

DIRECT ROUTE TO TOPEKA Anether Preject for Railread Oouneotion of Omaba and Kansas Oapital, LOCAL RAILROAD MEN BELIEVE REPORT Omaka Men to Be Solioited to Assist in Organisation of Company Construction of the New Line. A well defined report 18 current in local rallroad circles of a movement to bulld a 1ine between Omaha and Topeka, Kan., that will directly connect the two ocities and open up an undeveloped but rich and valuable territory Intervening bétween the proposed terminl. This report is said to emanate from authoritative sources and is dence by many leading local The statement also comes from parties in Topeks, that the scheme ccredited there, and furthermo! hat some of the most sub- stantial and influential citizens of that city are back of the project, In which it is the purpose to interest Omaha capital as well. This scheme Involves the construction of & road along the most direct rnute that can be lald out, traversing a ssuntry in both Kansas and Nebraska than which there is no better in the west—a stretch of coun- try, too, that s mow poorly provided with rajlroad facilities, and the (urning over of the prejected road to the Missouri Pacific for operation. Present Connections Poor. At present connections between Omaha and Topeka are decidedly poor. For some time there have been rumors of more or less reliability that profitable communication would be established between them, and more than once it has been reported the Missour! Pacific had under contemplatio; such a scheme. It is well known tha much of the territory through which this road would run, which is naurally tributary to Omaha and also to Topeka, is reached by lines which divert the trafic to Kansas City. This trafic, the greater part of it, at least, ought to come to Omaha, and it is with this thought in view that Omaha men and capital will be solicited, first for the organization of a company to carry out the scheme and then for the actual construc- tion of the road. As the Missouri Pacific now has a line terminating in each city, it is not doubted that the road could be induced to accept the management and operation of the new road, were it buflt. i —— Hot weather saps the vital emergy and makes the hardest wor! feel lazy.
