PRESIDENTS COME T0 0NAHA/ Ressevelt the Fifth te Homor Gate Oity with a Visit, GRANT WAS FIRST TO LOOK OVER CITY wom amd McKinley Latter Staying Cleveland, Har Pald Calls, the Three Days .V on On'e of October 1, 175 October 12, 1ss{ May 13, 1ok October 11-1o, i>d8 President Grant President Cleveland President Harrison President McKinley Some one has sald that a city may be relled upon, usually, to entertain a presi- dent about as gushingly and awkwardly as & country girl entertains her first beau Omaha only smiles at the remark as one with no personal application. For Omaha began entertaining presidents before it was out of its teens and has had them drop In several times since, with presidential can- didates, a king, an emperor and lords ga- lore introduced between times for diver.is:- ment. The coming of President Roosevell September 27 1s looked forward to w.th only pleasurable anticipation. The muni- cipal pulse is not a-flutter and the murif eipal household is not in commotion. Down o 8t. Joe the municipal cook is waiting for the municipal butler to declde how the president is to be fed, and both the crok and the butler are in a stew that com- prises, figuratively, the only ration yet de- termined upon. In Omaha the president will be given whatever he desires, if he desires anything, and no fuss made about it Grant Came First. The first president to come was Grant, who arrived Friday, October 1, 1875, at 11 & m., with Mrs. Grant, Colonel Fred Grant and wife, Hon. A. Borie, wifo and daughter. Hon. W. W. Belknap, secretary of 'war; General Babcock, General Benlamin ‘Al- vord, General McFeeley, General Vincent, General William Myers, General A. J. Myers, Colonel Benjamin and Colonel Crcsby. The traln had been met at the Unlon Pacific transter between Omaha and Councl Bluffs by a reception committee taken over in a special car by by Superintendent 8. H. H. Clark of the Unlon Pacific and composed of Mayor Champlon S. Chase, United States Senator P. W. Hitchock and Messrs. R. H. Wilbur, J. C. Cowin, G. L. Miller, J. B Boyd, E. A. Allen and Ezra Millard. The presidential party came from Des Molnes, Ia., where the president had been attending a reunion of the Soclety of the Army of the Tennessee. Its members were met at the Omaha depot by about everybody in this end of Nebraska; were loaded into & dozen carrlages and conducted up Tenth street to Farnam, and up Farnam to the Grand Central hotel, which occupled the present site of the Paxton hostelry. Here the parade was stopped long enough for the president to be introduced to the people by the mayor and to address them “in a few well chosen words,” as the chronicler of the time recorded. The Twenty-third Infantry band was the executive escort this far, but dropped out when the procession moved on up Capltol Hill, via Dodge street from Fif- teenth. Upon arrival at the high school, ‘which then, as now, surmounted the hill, the president was presented to Governor Saund- ers, president of the Board of Education, and then to the hundreds of children who were drawn up in line. He spoke to the children at great length—for Grant—telling them that he was glad to stand among so many of them in the shadow of the building in which they might prepare themselves to become useful men and women and good eitizens of the republic, but that he belleved in free speech and therefore was In favor of other people doing the talking. Made a Round. Driving out the north gate, the president went down Davenport street to Seventeenth, then to Capitol avenue, to Sixteenth, to Dodge and to the judges’ chambers in the United States, courthouse and postoffice building, in which he held a reception trom 12 o'clock to 12:46, when he was shown the Union Pacific shops and the smelter in lieu ©of an art gallery, library and packing house, the art nooks that are now relled upon when distinguished visitors are to be enter- talned. The 1en of the party, meanwhile, had gone to the Grand Central and the president Jolned them there after his Arive. Dinner was served and the party left in President Grant's special car at 2:30 for Salt Lake City. Grant's more extended visit was made No- vember 1, 1879, after he had ceased to be president and when he was returning east on his tour of the world. Ho had landed in San Francisco from the ship City of Toklo, September 21, and stopped in Omaha from 1 o'clock Baturday afternoon until 9 o'clock General Monday morning. Upon this occasion there was & very extensive parade marshaled by George W. Lininger. General Grant spoke st the high school grounds for two min- utes; held a reception at the old customs house afterward; attended a banquet that evening at the Withnell house, where the Creighton theater now stands; sat under Rev. J. B. Maxfleld at the First Methodist church Sunday and was conducted to the Towa side of the river Monday by a commit- tee composed of Mayor Chase, Senator MORE CHEAP EXCURSIONS ViA Sa < CENTRALSQ P> VALY ROUTE >z FROw vmAHA ()—Indlavapoils, lud ... .

Governor Thayer, cx-Governor Saunders and Hon, J. C. Cowln. With him vame Mr. and Mrs. Russell Harrison, Mrs. McKee, the president's daughter, Mrs. Dim- mick, who later became the president's | wite, and Secretaries Wanamaker and Rusk. | He spoke {rom th: court h:us: heights. thea crossed to The Bee building and held the first presidential reception ever held in a newspaper building. The beautitul Alham- bra court had been profusely decorated and upon entering the bullding he was wel- comed by E. Rosewater and by him con- ducted to the north side of the court, where he stood at the base of the steos, which were banked with flowers and hung with flage, while people honored with ths elaborately engraved Invitation cards filed past him for an hour or more and out the east entrance. Later he was entertained in the editorial sanctum and sat in Mr. Rosewater's chair in playful pretense ot cditorial authority. At 3 o'clock he de- livered an address to the acres of children assembled on the High school grounds. At |4 o'clock he and his party lunched with local citizens of prominence at the home of Alvin Saunders. At 5:15 the party left, the president saying: “I am most certainly surprised. Omaha is a grand city—one of the most magnificent we have visited. I like its open-handed hospitality.” President Cleveland's Call. President Cleveland with his charming June bride, his private secretary, Daniel Lamont, his former law partner, Colonel Bissel, and Postmaster General and Mrs. Vilas, reached Omaba from the cast and on his way to Kansas City, at 10:50 o'clock the mornin of Wednesday, October 18, 1887 He asked to be ex- cused from making even the re- quested five-minutes speech and was in the city scarcely more than an hour, or only long enough to drive over the business por- tion, as far west as Twenty-second street and as far south as Brownell hall. The most notable features of the day were the great procession that gave him escort, the splendid showing of uniformed Knights of Pythfas and the tall hat that Tsaac Sim- plicity Hascall, present councilman from the First ward, wore. It s recorded by th® trpes that “Hascall's best friends and worst enemles fafled to recognize him in his silk-lapelled overcoat amd shiny beaver.” Judge J. M. Woolworth, Senator Mander- son, Dr. George L. Miller, George W. Hold- rege, W. A. Paxion, Geueral G. B. Dandy, Max Meyer, Hon. James E. Boyd and Hon. Charles H. Brown as a welcomlng com- mittee for Nebraska went to Council Blufts in a speclal car, which was there coupled onto the presidential traln when it was pulled into the Towa town by a locomotive, the engineer of which was, oddly enough, of the name of James G. Blaine. In addi- tion to this committee there was Con- gressman John A. McShane, the special spokesman, who gave the formal greeting as the train passed over the middle of the Missourl river bridge. Congressman Me- Shane (whom the president embarrassed by addressing as “Mayor”) and Governor Thayer rode with the president and Mrs. nd In the front carriage, which was ly covered with handsome cut flow- ere. Mrs. Cleveland, radiantly beautiful and engagingly frank, whose grandfather had once resided here and who owned Omaha property, was quite as much the center of interest as her distinguished husband, but had to smile dublously when there con- fronted her at Sixteenth and Douglas streets a crayon portrait of Susan B. An- thony, over which was written, by the er- ring enthuslast: “Welcome, Mrs. Cleve- land.” There were twenty-three carriages In the procession and the president seemed much pleased with ecordiality of his reception. McKinley Well Known Here. He who succumbed one year ago today to the wounds an assassin had Inflicted elght days before made Omaha a longer visit than any other president and was the central figure in the greatest gathering the city has ever known. The events of that visit were S0 memorable that it seems unnnecessary to recount more than the cir- cumstance of time. He arrived at 9 o'clock the evening of October 11, 1898, and re- mained until 9 o'clock the following Thurs- day morning, or October 15. The Ak-Sar- Ben flluminated parades were repeated for him the night of his arrival and he re- viewed them from & stand in front of the | city hall where the city's welcome was first formally extended to him. Wednesday day was President's day—oh, memorable date for Omaba—at the Transmississippl exposition and he wus on the grounds from 11 & m. until 9 p. m., holding a reception in the government bujlding at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and dining with leading local citizens in the Markel cafe n the early evening. With him on this visit were Sec- retaries oi the Treasury Gage, Bliss of the Interior, Wilson of Agriculture, Postmaster General Smith, Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles ana others scarcely leds prominent in thé pation's affairs. He was in Omaha again early on the morning of May 28, 1901, but did mot leave the car in which w Mrs. McKinley, who had been taken so seriously il in California. His first visit to Omaha was on August 5, 1892, when he opened the Crounse campaign from a plat form on the high school grounds. He wi then governor of Oblo. His second visit was In October, 1894, when he electrified 12,000 people at the Coliseum with his ad- dress on the tariff. 1 Some Other Notables, Abraham Lincoln, first of the martyred presidents, was in Council Bluffs in the '50s and addressed an audience there, but was not, of course, at that time in the ex- ecutive seat. Many presidential candidates bave been in Omaba in the course wi ileir campalgning. The king who called was Kalakaua of the Hawalian islands, but the date is now obscure as are the incldents of the call. It was during the administration of Mayor Champlon 8, Chase. The emperor was Dom Pedro d'Alcantara | of Brazil, who brought his pompous per- sonage, gray whiskers and hair-triggered | secretary within the city Nmits on April 20, 1876, and drove about for am hour or more in a livery carriage engaged in ad- vance. He wouldn't let the city entertain him, and declined either to use the mayor's | carriage or listen to tne mayor's address of welcome. He finally consented to permit the inevitable “children on the high school grounds” to watch him pass by, other- wise frosted every overture that Omaha made with such severity that the Nebraska metropolls felt somewhat chagrined until a short time afterward he gave Chicago and | ballots, MUST FILE IN REGULAR WAY Morcer's Manager Not to, Have Oontrel of Oounty Primaries.

He took the secre- tary's seat, as Secretary Messick was still absent Upon motion of Zimman the following resolution was adopted: Be it Regolved, That the names of all persons to be voted tor at the republican primaries on Friday, September 19, 1902, as delegates from and within the city of Omaha and South Omaha to the repubiican county and congressional conventions, to be held in the city of Omaha on Sepiember 2, and to the republican judietal conven- tion, to be held in the city of Omaha on September 21, 1902, are hereby required to be filed with the secretary or assistant secretary of the republican county commit- tee, as provided by rule 13 of said commic- tee, on or before 12 o'clock, noon, Beptem- ber 16, 1%2, and that a fee of $2' for each delegate 8o filed must be pald to the treas- urer of the said republtiean county commit- tee ot the time of such iiling, in order to have such names placed on the official to be prepared and printed under the direction of said county committee for the sald primuries for the election of dele~ gates to sald county, congressional and judiclal conventions; and all candidates before said county, congressional and fu. diclal_conventions are hereby notified "o this requirement and wiil govern them selves accordingly, and in case the secre- tary of sald county committee refuses to receive and file sald names and ligts of names of delegates the assistant secretary shall recefve and flle the same, €ven though the secretary be not absent Chairman Goss ruled the motion to adcpt the resolution out of order, but his ruling was reversed on appeal from the decision of the chair, only Pierce voting to sustain it.

A motlon was made and carried that the chairman and secretary be Instructed to issue certificates to the clerks and judges of primaries. It was moved by Bebm and carried that where a candldate desires-an expression of the voters of his ward for preference he shall have a petition with the names of fitty resident 'republican voters.

The committee allowed rent and letter writing bills amounting to $7.70. The committee adjourned ‘to meet at Washington hall September 16 at 2 p. m., at which time Askwith and Zimman are to report on thelr work as a committee to check up the polling lists to be used at the coming primaries. The action of the Mercer-Baldwin fire and, police board last Monday night in placing the mame of J. J. Miller of the Eighth ward on the substitute Mst of the fire department Is an indication of the way in which that board ie being made a part of the Mercer political machine. Mr. Mil- ler a long time ago put in an appiication for a position on the fire force, and the Mercerites, thinking that he still desired the position, sought to.get him in line for their congressional candidate by placing his name on the substitute lis 1 don't want anything to do with the Mercer outfit,” sald Mr. Miller yesterday, “and it does {hem no good to put me on the wubstitute list, for I will not work for Mercer under any circumstances.’’ HIBERNIANS HAVE NEW HEADS Officers Are Elected d Emphatic Resolutions Pi d in State Con- vention at South Omaba. With delegates from sixteen counties par- ticipating in the Nebraska state convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians at South Omahs yesterday elected officers to serve until the next state convention two years hence, and adopted resolutions declaring the attitude of the convention toward matters concerning the Irish. The officers elected are: Dr. W. J. Me- Crann of South Omaha for state presiden J. F. Beltord of Columbus for vice presi- dect, D. J. Stafford of Omaha for secretary and J. J. Larkin of South Omaha for treas- urer. In view of the recent action of the Colo- rado and other conventions the most im- portant of the resolutions passed yesterday was perhaps that which extends to the Irish National league “‘spontaneous and un- cualified sympathy for the efforis it fs making in the direction of home rule and the principle of the land for the people. With the resolution is incorporated a dec- laration that “‘as usual Irish fuen identified with this movement are exposed to the wrath of England, but we urge them to per- severe in thelr peaceable agitation. While we belleve in physical force as the only weapon with which to secure the absolute treedom of Ireland we deem it our duty to cheer and to encourage any body of men who have for their obfect the immediate amelloration of the Irish people.

Not only does Nebraska take the lead as one of the greatest corn-producing stalcs in the union, but its enterprise has ex- tended to even remote mining centers. As an instance the Con Mercur mine, Utah, thotigh owned by Salt Lake City people, was doing no development. Nebraska men bought it and by resorting to the cyanlde process made It A first-class mine, paying €ood dividends. The latest example ot Ne- braska enterpri® is shown in the develop- ment of the mining district of western Utah. Till recently nothing had been done there on account of loeal difficulties «f transportation and water, and though practical western miners had for years re- alized its capabilities, they yet hesitatel to take hold and do actual development work. With promising surface indications in the Dugway and Deep Creek districts of western Utah, the distance from any shipping points had daunted local operas tors from work on any extended scale. It remafned for Omaha people to demonstrate these capabilities. . In May, 1901, a mumber of ‘persons, chiefly Nebraska people, proceeded to take up seme of the best known claims in the Dugway district, incorporating under the name of the Four Metals Mining company, with principal office at Salt Lake City, Utah. Among the imtorporators were Hon. L. Hahn of Hastings, Atlee Hart of Dakota City, John Goodlett, for many years with the Omaha Water Works com- pany; J. L. Brandefs of the well known firm of J. L. Brandeis & Sons, Omaha; T. F. Moats of Omuha, Lee Greer, clerk of the police court of Omaha, and ‘several other well kbown Omaha men. Develope ment work was at once commenced under the direction of George L. Moats, formerly | of Omaha, but who has had a number of years experfence in western mining, and from that day without Intermission the work has been pushed forward by a staff of from four to fifteen men. The nearest water supply was twenty miles away and for eight months all the water needed in camp was hauled that dis- tance. Situated as it Is at the edge of the great American desert, western mtners drcaded the desolation and refused to work there. But Nebraska toys, untrained as miners, sunk a shaft 360 feet amd still golng deeper, with drifts at 100, 200 and 300 feet, blocking out a body of ore of about 22,000 tons, showing high values in silver, lead and copper. Mill righta have aleo heen securcd and a well sunk on them, glving control over the water of the entire district. This work by Nebraska men has also had the result of starting development in the entire camp. ) SATURDAY NIGHT AT CARNIVAL Rivela’s Band Delights Another Throng with Assistance of Vocallsts.
