supper, after which a portion of the
party went 10 the theater, and the 9th
Itrs took IN the business portion OF the
city by gas and electricsIight.
Thursday morning dawned bright,
warm and beautiful, and after a hearty
] breakfast general sightseeing about
the city was IN order, and the gentle
men and ladies put in their time until
one O'Clock in an industrious manner
viewing the fine sre~idences, public
buildings and beautiful business houses.
Our idea was that Omaha was q gOOdlv
city of possibly 10000 inhabitants. but
, after travelling all over IL and viewing
2 il to our satisfaction, we are willing to
. admit that our estimate was too low bV
about 10000 The city contains q very
large number of wholesale house. Of
every description; three very large and
well patrOniZed morning and evening
papers; number of large and we'll ap-
pointed school buildings, showing that
. the educational interests of the city are
, carefully looked after; a very large num-
! Der of handsome churches, showing that
/ religious interests are not neglected.
We arrived at Lincoln at 9 80 %. N d.
and all repaired to the Commercial
House, where the night was spent, and
the good beds furnished enjoyed by the
tired, though happy Kapsans. Friday
morning, after partaking of an excel
, lent breakfast, all repaired TO the State
journal Office and were kindly shown
through that immense establishment by
its business manager, Mr.. France. The
journal has the largest and best equip
ped printing establishment in that state,
and our party enjoyed visiting the va
/. rious departments, looking at the
presses, book bindery, composing rooms
and elecJrOtyping department. After q
pleasant chat with Editor calhoun, the
party started out 10 do the city and di-
vIded into parties, each going in diff
ferent directions, and in the manner
that suited best. In company with c.
A. Lewis, of the PhilliDsburg HERALD.
and Mrs. Burton, of the kansan, we
visited the State University aud were
kindly shown through the building by
the chancellor, attended chapel and
saw ALI the students, over 500 in num-
berr and the Professors, after which
Prof., Nanet showed US through the
library and museum. Time being pre-
cIOus we we're compelled To thank him
Tor his courtesy and say goodbye in
the same breath, We then took the
street ears for The capitol, and after
looking over the grounds, passed into
the building, visiting the west wing
nr>t. We then passed through the
main part Of the building, which is I'M
der course of erection, and coming to
the Secretary of States Office, met that
gentleman, MI. ROggeu, who received
our party kindly; Visiting with him a
lew minutes, we were shown through
the Senate chamber, then introduced 70
Governor Dawes, whom we found
courteous, pleasant gentleman, in
whose company our party spent some
Alteen minutes most prOfitaJIy.
On leaving the State House we Wis
tied the new ". Z church and the
new congregational church, both of
which are very fine structures, under
