made adequate arrangements, however, to
handle all the excursionists that may come
and go and there need be no alarm or APP
prehension whatever as to the facilities or
accommodations.
The Wabash passenger department gave
II out that that road would arrange for a
special train on Thursday, the day Of the
big electric parade which was to be the fea-
ture Of Presidents day, to take the place
Of the president day train. II will run
from P~attonsburg, Mo, arriving at Council

Council Bluffs at 11:30 D. m. All inter-
mediate points, OF course, will have access

heavy travel is looked for.
Anticipate Great rOwds
The Missouri Pacific is trying to arrange
for a special on Thursday, parade day, to
take the place Of the Saturday special. The
matter has been put up to the main office at
st. Louis by the local ONCE, and favorable
action is anticipated. The Missouri Pa
cifc officials anticipate crowds throughout
the week.
The Elkhorn, Of course, will have its
Black Hills tourists. who are assured, and,

arranged for Saturday will be run from
Hastings and intermediate points Thurs
day next and is expected to bring in large
numbers. 1t will arrive in Omaha at noon
and leave on its return trip at 1870 D. m.
The Union Pacific will have no special
trains, but will have extra coaches on all
its regular trains which. it IL believed, will
be sufficient to accommodate the heavy
trathc. The officials Of this road are GER
tain that while travel will be reduced as a
result Of the presidents failure to be here.
II will be unusually heavy, and may reach
the maximum for Ak-Sar-Ben carnivals.
The arrangement OF the Union Pacific
schedules, like those Of other roads, is such
as to render il possible for the regular
trains, with additional cars, to take care Of
immense crowds such as will he handled on
this occasion.
The Burlington people will have a spe-
cial from Plattsmouth on Thursday, leav-
ing Plattsmouth at $3.50 a. m. and leaving
Omaha on the return trip at 1880, after
the parade. From agents reports It Is
evident that large crowds will come in on
this as we'll as regular trains.
To Increase Facilities.
The Rock Island will not find 1t necessary
to put on any special trains. but will in
crease the number of cars on all it's regu-
lars. Its schedules are such that hordes
of people from Iowa can be brought in on
the regulars and the officials expect to see
the limit reached. This troad has a good
string of towns in Iowa from which to
draw and is making every EFFORT to exhaust
its resources in this respect. Reports from
agents along the line give hopes Of enor-
nous crowds.

handle big crowds of pleasure seekers.
Already its trains are hauling heavy loads
from every direction. Every train next
week will be increased in number Of cars.
so as to accommodate all who want to
come to the metropolis during this festive
period.
The Milwaukee and the Illinois Central
will meet every demand made upon them
and in order 20 do this have met all rates
and special plans which their competitors
have adopted. They are looking for lib
eral slices OF the trafnc and have enough
extra cars at their ina to dispose OF
any exigency which may arise in this d.
rection. The IlliLois Central is the road
over which President Roosevelt was to have
entered Omaha The Frisco's territory is
most too remote to be affected by the Ak
sar-Ben rates. consequently that road Ia
not "in on the deal"
The regular reduced rates already an
nounced by all the roads for the days prior
to October /, will prevail and the one-fart
rate for round trips on October 1. 2 and
is still effective. These have not beer
changed by the change In the presidents
plans.
