DIR. Edward Olson, President OF
the Dakota University, gave a few
minutes talk at the u. b. church
last Friday night preceding General
Beadle's lecture, and advanced some
new ideas in regard to the tenden-
cies of the times towards popular
education. He indicated that the
drift of the people seemed in the
channel of money getting, and the
young men and women we're rushed
through schools and colleges for the
purpose of getting them out in the
world to accumulate money, and by
this hurrying skurrying process, the
moral education of the young was
being neglected to the detrimen. of
society and the people. He cited a
case in point which tends to confirm
this idea. In looking over recent
statistics Of the Illinois penitentiary
it was found that only four per cent.
of the inmates could not read and
write, and a large per cent. of them
were well educated, While all will
acknowledge that popular education
is the main bulwark upon which
our form of government stands, yet
il is true that there is something else
besides cultivation in the branches
of study taught in our schools and
colleges, to fit young men and
women for honorable citizenship.
The DIR. Is remarks were we'll received
and opened up a new line of thought
for our thinking people.

Five Hundred Appear in Martial
Columns in Omaha.
MAGNIFICENT SPECTACLE.
The Trades Display in Which Hun
drcds of Omaha Jobbine Houses
Were Richly and Embiemati-
caliy Represented.
Heaven was PrOnitious.

The sun smiled favorably on the travelling
men yesterday. At an early hour the streets
were thronged with spectators. They filled
sidewalks, and even overfowing to the pave
ments. Swarms of carriages, vans and
trucks in all the glory of bunting and floral
decorations ratified and clattercd hither and
thither seeking their places in the great
parade. Bands in all degrees Of gorgeous
ness of uniforms paraded about, filling the
air with melody. Old and young male and
female, laborer and dude, unanimously
took 'day off, and good-humorcdly jostled
each other on the walks They swarmed
over the balconies in the windows, and
even on the roof like flies. Where they all
came from no one knows. II seemed as
though the whole countryside had donned
its holiday attire to do honor to the occasion.
Notwithstanding the crush and the almost
impossible state of the streets no accidents
of any description have been reported.
The crowd was greatly in excess of
that of Wednesday when the mingled
fair and circus attractions brought 10000
visitors to the city. 1t was such crowd
and such a day as Omaha, the country peo-
pie and the travelling men had wished for 1t
was a day TO make everybody satisfied with
himself and above all it was a day which
made perfect the grand display of the travel
ing men and conduced to proper appreca-
tion of the same by the thousands who wit
messed the passing pageant

OUR SISTER CITY.
South Omaha's Display in the Grand
Pageant.

AS it always does, South Omaha came to
the front with one of the leading features of
the parade. First came twenty.four mounted
cowboys, and right after them was Jack
O'Keefe, the city salesman for the Armour
Cudahy company. Three wagons of the firm
followed him, loaded with the canned pro
ducts that are giving South Omaha a world
wide reputation. Then came Ed Welch, rep
resenting the old-time firm of George II.
Hammond & CO., and with him were six
wagons displaying the products of the house
he represents. One magnificent steer,
weighing upwards of 2,4OO pounds, gazed
meellly from wagon upon the crowds that
it was so soon going to feed
George Schwartz came next, and headed
the teams of Swift & Co., who had three of
their teams in the parade. One Of them was
loaded with sheep that were fine examples of
the stock to be picked up in the South Omaha
stock yards, and would no doubt win honor
able mention if they were on exhibit at the
Omaha fair. Last of all came the display of
the South Omaha Brewery company, and it
was characteristic OF both the town and the
firm it was intended to represent.
