As early as yesterday morning the visitors began to mrrive. Early trains brought them from all directions. BEvery road leading to Omaha bore constant streams of saucy, honking automobiles. Many farmers and residents of outlying vieinities even hitched up their less ex peditious vehicles and started. Late last night there was still a steady stream pouring in from over the Douglas street bridge and from roads entering the city from the opposite direction. Tt is obviously an impossibility to gauge the Influx of humanity. Private homes are erowded with friends and rela- tives who are here to bet money that Joe | Stecher does or don't: boarding houses are filled with those learned in the lore of speedkings; hotels house the con- glomeration.

Persons with a manicure or a Chicago paper sticking out of a pocket are approached by a sun- burned sportsman oftener than trail- hitters atgby temptation. The scene iy the same in every hotel lobby. The residents of this section of the country who are in Omaha for the match, are determined not to let it be said that Joseph Stecher is without honor in own land. So determined is the de- termination that it almost amounts to defiance. There'll ba & lot of good farm land for sale this week if Josy Boy loses, ' but none of the visitors seem to heed the oft repeated warning to “slow up” e Autoists Advised To Use Grace Street Going to Speedway Autolsts going to the Speedway race to- day are urged by Police Captain Heitfeld to use the Grace street road instead of Looust street, in order to avold jraffic congestion on the latter, which is par- tially blocked by work on the viaduct. “The Grace street route is a good one, well paved most of the way, and will save time for auto parties going tc the Speedway,” Captain Heitfeld says. I had a motoreycle officer inspect it, and he reports that it is the best route to the ' races. \ \“Take Grace street from Sixteenth to Eleventh, go north on Eleventh to Lake, east on Lake to Fifth, and then north on Fifth to the specially prepared Speedway road iInto the grounds.” Auto Truck Comes From Hartford and Has No Puncture A small auto truck, with a canvas top, filled with camping ecquipment and labeled “‘Flivver Hotel,” attracted much attention in front of the Qmaba Auto club's headquarters at Hotel Fontenelle Sunday. It belonged to J, M. Corton, H, C. Mitchell and A. . Groszier, three young men who are touring from Hart- ford, Conn., to Ban Francisco.

Yet our greatness lies| | not in our area; our greatnees lles not in | our agricultural resources.

The ex-president cied : last night as the result of a complication | of diseases due to advanced age.

He was always absorbed in the news from Mexico, but became more and more Idlnruud by the disorders there as his | friends by letter and in person gave him pessimistic accounts of the conditions and the destruction of his institutions. It does not appear that General Dlaz | ever regretted his reslgmation from the | presidency of Mexico after thirty years of rule nor that he felt inclined to return | nor missed his loss of power. Nothing | that he told his friends would indicate it. | Only once so far as known did the gen- | eral endeavor directly to influence Mexi- | can affairs. That was when he allowed | two of his friends to use his name in | recommending ' to’ General Victoriano Huerta, when the latter was provisional | president of the republic, that he yield to the desires of President Wilson and | resign. l Special Show at Stopping in Omaha Monday night 1s to be without a show at Ak-Sar-Ben Den hecause it is the day set aside for the celebration of the an- niversary of the Declaration of Inde- pendence.
