Omaha daily bee., 1889-04-24

bosom like a rife target, with sheeny tile and
ruddy face, renewed his youth In unloading
his concords and Harvesting TO them his thtr-
Teen grey and roam steeds, Both Of the
coaches glistened under quintuple coat OF
varnish through which the beautiful gliding,
lettering and landscape work, which had
been finished but few days before the party
left, appeared doubly attractive. The BODY
of each coach is painted green and the
wheels rcd. One is named after Jim himself,
the other after Tom Potter. Jim's corps OF
attendants harnessed the teams under hts
direction, amid the wonderment Of five hun
dred spectators. Old, grizzly pioneers stood
around, climbed with stiffened and creaking
joints the dizzy heights TO the drivers
seat, deck and the stern sheets, and smiled
serenely as they shifted the air at an alti-
tude which had been STANCE 10 them since
the days the railroads drove the rocking
Concord from the road.
AT length Jim filtered the ribbons through
his fingers, cracked his ten-foot lash, and his
six impatient grays shot off like post
chaise in the paimy days of the Little Corpo-
raj when mettlesome steeds were tested to
to the uttermost. Following rolled the Pot
ter with the roans, and then came hetero-
geuous mass of vehicles containing the over
flow Of the guests from the rocking coaches.
The excursonists were received in all parts
of the town with cheers and from hundred
residences handkerchiefs fiuttering in the
breeze and held by dainty fingers, bade well
come TO the flying column.
The drive in the stlffening breeze was ex-
hilerating and when the party lined the gar
nished tables of the Pacific IL was with an
appetite which the exercise had greatly
sharpened. The spread was an excellent one
gotten up with mastery care by and served
under the direction of MIR. Locke, of the firm
of Locke & Tipple, aided by corps OF
handsome and tastefully attired young
ladies.
After supper, d. A. Holmes, president of
the Business Mems association, welcomed
the party and rendered them the freedom OF
tine city, an offer which was both appreciated
and accepted.
Later, Rome Miller, superintendent of the
eating houses on the Fremont, Elkhorn "
Missouri Valley road, rendered reception
at his residence to a number of the tourists,
among them being w. N. Babcock, e. L.
Horne, E. G. Harris, James Stephenson, Q.
F. Goodman, w. N. Mason, Joseph Young,
DIR. Bear, Mayor Gerecke. Judge Allen, DIR.
Schwenk and THE BEE representative. A
most entertaining selection OF vocal and in
strumental music was rendered.
In talking with John Olney, perhaps the
oldest merchant in the city, it was discov-
cred that Norfolk is now purchasing as
per cent of her goods in Omaha. Six
years ago she purchased almost everything
in Chicago. The change which these six
years have mede, MIR. Olney claims are not
regretted by the people of Norfolk, and he
thinks there is no reason why it should be
otherwise than a source OF felicitation to the
people of Omaha.

The Arrival at Long Pine.

Of Major Burke, business manager for Buff
falo Bill. He expected to meet the excur-
sionists here and the first thing he did was to
call out for O'Brien, THE BEE correspond
ent, and when found they arranged the In
dams and marched them up and down the
platform and the Indians let out one of their
characteristic war whoops which caused a
little conmotiou among the members of the
board. The excursionsts were we'll enter
tanned by the citizens, who had carriages and
busses for their conveyance around the city,
and all went down TO the Chautauqua grounds
and rambled through the woods for two and
half hours and partook OF the noted Long
Pine water. They were agreeably surprised
at the beautiful scenery and heavy wooded
canons. They remained here three and a
half hours, and examined the three roller
mills, water works and SOIL and seemed to be
well pleased with the entertainment and in
tercst rendered them by our citizens, and the
latter, in return, are well pleased with the
good nature and cordially of the Omaha
men, so that If every town along the line will
feel as pleased Omaha will not lose anything
by this interest taken In northern Nebraska.
