place, PiQua was reached at 62O. About
five thousand people gathered here and kept
up continuous cheering Governor Foraker
and wife boarded the presidential train here,
and found the general and party just sitting
down to supper. Governor Foraker brought
General Harrison 10 the platform of the
May Wood just as the brain started. Foraker
called iout, This is cur next presl-
dent and General Harrison, bareheaded,
bowed an acknowledgement TO the cheering
Of the thousands as the train moved out.
From Pigria TO Urbana the train ran very
rapidly, reaching the latter point at 6:5O p.
m. Here another large crowd welcomed the
presidential party, but the stop was short.
From this time on dense darkness covered
the scene and prevented the occupants from
judging of the size of the crowds.
AT Westville the glare OF n number of pine
knot torches were flashed into the car win
dows as the train dashed by.
CoLUMBUs, o.. Feb. 25.-The run from
Urbana TO Columbus was made at the speed
of a mile minute. At billiards, ten miles
out of Columbus, a row of big bonfres was
passed. In front OF the blazing piles were a
hundred or more men, frantically waving
their hands. Governor Foraker and Gen
eral Harrison were seated on a sofa in the
rear OF the generals car during the run from
Urbana. Columbus was reached at S:15 y.
m. Governor Foraker ana wife left the
train here The demonstration at this point
assumed unusual proportions. AT least one
fifth of the capitals 1000 population
was in the vicinity of the depot at the time
the train arrived. In addition to the general
crowd, several organizations came and
pressed in. The booming of cannon and the
din of brass band music, drum corps and yells
greeted the presidential train as it moved
into the depot. 1t required large force Of
policemen to open the way for the engine.
The train pulled pretty well through the
depot before stopping, and the people were
trying to keep up ana rushed madly over
each other. a large number of ladies were
in the crowd and many of them were injured,
as the apparently maddened crowd showed
no respect for any one about them. Nearly
the entire membership OF ihs legislature went
down With the Foraker club, but were all lost
sight of In the general rush. 1t was the ir-
tention to have several songs from a glec
club, and also listen to speech from Gen
eral Harrison. The former was almost en-
tirely eliminated from the programme and
less than fifty persons heard anything the
president-elect had to say. PEOPLE standing
within ten feet of him could see his lips
move as if in the act of making a speech,
and that was all.
There was a sore lack of management in
the whole affair, and no person is deserving
of any credit for the manner IN which the
reception was carried out, except the entire
mass, who were bent upon giving the presi'
dent-elect an ovation of the old time kind
AS soon as the general left the platform the
crowd began TO grow less dense, though the
train was surrounded by people until il

couragement until after the election, 81

Another Prohibition Bill.

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 25. Special to rHE
BEE. MIR. Everett, of Burt, introduced a
bill to-day TO prohibit the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquors, including ale,
wine and beer. The bill is in substance a
transcript of the Iowa law and retains all the
harsher features, including the provisions for
summary closing of buildings used for saloon
purposes by Injunction. The author hardly
intends to press the measure unless the sub
mission bill now before the supreme court
should be declared unconstitutional In that
case the radicals will make every effort TO
push this bill through or use it as club to
force the doubtful members to support new
submission bill.
The introduction of this measure is not the
result of any concerted action on the part of
the prohibition members but is the product
of the ingenious "lttle nun from Burt, 'who
believes in being on the safe side in this
emergency.
Such bill cannot pass the house in any
contingency by at least half dozen votes,
us the republican members do not feel them
selves pledged TO vote for any measure of
this kind, and tho democrats will fight it 10
man.
