TRAVELERS CARRY GRIPS IN PARADE, National T. P, A. Demonstrates that It Has Sent Many Live Mem- bers to Omaha. SOUTH OMAHA COWBOYS A HIT NN The Travelers' Protective Associa- tion of America delegates branded themselves as a real “live bunch” 1ight from the start of their national convention, which opened Monday morning with a big parade. The Fontenelle hotel and sur- rounding streets were alive with the men, most of them in the linen suits, white hats and time, and looking especially gay with canes and the handsome badges sup- plied them by the Commercial club. Governor's Staff Gally Decked. The parade formed on Douglas street | between Seventeenth and Twenty-second street. Covernor Morehead and his sta(t were thore, some fifteen strong, ana Solo- mon in all his glory was not arraved like one of these. The governor, in his plain clothes, was marked out from among the others, loaded with gold brain and but- tons and seated upon prancing steeds. Right back of the leading platoon of police rode. two little girls in cowboy array. They were Miss Ruth Griffith, Jaughter of J. 8. Griffin, marshad of the parade, and Miss Mildred Wohlford, daughter of O. L. Wohlford, chairman of the publicity committee, While the parade formed, a bunch of cowboys from the South Omaha yards rode up and down the line terrifying the delegates from the peaceful eastern cities with their shrill yells and revolver shots, These desperate characters went to the Fontenclle bar and there dlecharging their guns, sparing the big mirrors only after an appeal from the barkeep. Then they came out and mounted their Worses and continued their wild demonstration throughout the parade. v Virginia Drum Corps. Hvery state delegation haa some dis- tinguished featyre as it marched. The men from old “Virginny” ca'led Virginia hams and they had a drum corps made up of three siim fair beauties from the old staie. The men from Indiana all wore straw hats, linen suits and blue ties. The lads from Texas wore white hats, pants, shoes and blue coats. shoes of summer; ] | Wheat is the Most Optimistic !

On the McCook division, especially is this so. The large crop on the very wewt end of the Kansas branches and over all other parts of the division would justify a higher estimate. On the Alllance and Sterling divisions, which take in the extreme western and northwestern portions of Nebraska, with the same method of figuring as is adopted for other parts of the state, the condition of the, wheat at this time is estimated at 12 per cent. During last week there were a number of isolated sections, small in extent, where, hail did considerable damase.

Dealing with corn, the report takes in all the state, It Is asserted that last week was decidedly unfavorable for the growth of the plant. Late planted corn rotted and the ground will have to be replanted. On rough land many of the fields are badly washed. Early planted corn is up, but the growth has been slow.
