was estimated that more than 10000 people
saw Colonel Roosevelt at Lincoln.
The other places at which stops were
made on the second day were North Platte,
Lexington, Kearney, Grand Island. Aurora,
York, Seward, Ashland and Plattsmouth. At
Ashland Senator Dolliver of Iowa Joined
the party and continued with it from that
time on.
On the third day but few stops were made
and the party travelled G32 miles, from
Plattsmouth to and even beyond the north
west corner of this state into South Dakota.
Stops were made only at Broken Bow,
Hyannis, Alliance, Crawford and Chadrun-

meeting. Deadwood had been included in
the tour, but later was
dropped out and left to be taken with the
Nebraska trip. Immediately after the Dead
wood meeting the party started back for
Nebraska and took up the trip again at
Chadron.
At Chadron occurred enc Cf the most
pleasant features of the trip, when Colonel
Roosevelt was presented on behalr Of the
republicans of Nebraska with a handsome
pair of gold spurs. The presentation took
place in the presence of a large gathering

National Committeeman Schneider of this
state. In this state, as in most of the
others, the party was accompanied by the
state and congressional candidates, and at
different points along the route was Joined
by men of national prominence i'm the re-
publican party.
After a continuous triumphal journey of
four days throughout the state the grand
,limax of it all was reached at Omaha,
where at four meetings in the same even
ing the distinguished traveller addressed
more than 10000 people and was seen by
many thousands more as he rode at the head
Of the monster parade given in his honor.
Rarely in the history OF Omaha have its
citizens joined so unanimously and gen
orally in any public demonstration Colonel
Roosevelt's stay in the city was not of more
than five hours duration, but that period
may be described as an ovation in which
nearly the entire populace Joined in doing
him honor.
That parade of the night of October T.,
1900, is an event that will long be remem-
bered. All day long trains had been bring
ing in visitors from surrounding portions
OF the state, and large delegations had ar
rived from Lincoln, Plattsmouth, Havelock,
Waverly, South Omaha and Fort Crook. The
Ak-Sar-Ben festival had but just closed and
the illuminations, still in place, were used
to grace this event.
The demonstration of welcome was inau-
gurated at the Webster street depot, where
a vast and enthusiastic crowd awaited the
coming of the train, which arrived about 8
p. m. The distinguished visitor and his
party were met by a reception committee
of the Douglas County Central Mckinley and
Roosevelt club, led by President Howard
B~aldrige Of that organization and Mayor
Moores, and at once escorted to a carriage
that they might join in the parade which
was formed and waiting to take up its route
Of march. The procession was made up Of
the various troops of Rough Riders. fam
beau clubs and other organizations and
through the divided ranks the carriages I'm

which were Colonel Roosevelt and the mem
bers of his party drove, amid cheers Of
greeting, to the right of line. one Of
the features of the procession was the
tallyho of the Harvard club and the club
was led in vociferous cheering by Or. Rich
ard Stehhins of the class of Is. who had
at that time attained the age of - years.
The parade, which numbered more than
5000 marching men carrying banners and
transparcnCies and cheering heartily at
every step. proceeded through the bril-
liantly lighted streets from Webster street
On Sixteenth to Farnam, to Nineteenth, then
conference.-the on Farnam to Fifteenth
and on Fifteenth street marched north to
the large tent, where the first and princi-
pal meeting of the evening was held.
At the tent Colonel Roosevelt was intro
duced by Hon. Howard Baldrige and for
about an hour addressed a crowd OF 5000
people, who cheered him most heartily and
otherwise showed approval of his words.
From the tent he was escorted to Creigh-
ton hall, where he was heard by an audience
Of more than 1000, and thence to Bohemian
hall, where his coming was eagerly awaited
by an equally large gathering, and finally
to BOyd's opera house, where he spoke to
1000 more. Soon after midnight the special
train departed from this city to enter upon
its journey through Iowa.
The special train with Colonel Roose-
welt, domiciled in the car Minnesota" en-
tered upon its Nebraska trip at Falls City
at s o'clock on the morning of October 1,
1900, and closed its itinerary in this state
at midnight on Thursday, October 4, with
the demonstration at Omaha, which has
just been described. During that period
there were visited five counties in the
First congressional district, two in the
Second, five in the Third, seven in the
Fourth, eight in the Fifth, and sixteen in
the Sixth.
In his travels through the state Of
Kansas Colonel Roosevelt had worn a large
sunfiowcr, but on entering Nebraska he
substituted a sprig of golden rod. On
Omaha daily bee., 1902-09-21

the first day he travelled 337 miles, from
Falls City to McCOOk, passing through
thirteen different counties and making just
that many speeches. His voice had at
that time begun to show signs of wear and
he limited his speeches to five minutes
except at the regular afternoon or evening
meetings. The speeches of the first day
were made at Falls City. Auburn, Tecum-
sch, Beatrice, WILDER, Crete, Fairmont,
Sutton, Hastings, Minden, Holdrege, Ara
pahOe and McCoOk. Fourteen correspon-
dents of different newspapers accompanied
the train, and it was estimated that more
than $4,000 words of special matter were
sent out by wire each day. Speed was
one of the essential elements of the trip
and Colonel Roosevelt and his attendants
were from time to time given some ex-
p]erience in fast travelling. On the first
day, with Badly" Connors at the throttle,
the train did some sprinting, and for more
than seventy miles on "a stretch of good
road west of oxford did better than a
mile a minute. At several other times
tina speed was equaled and for short dis
tances even eXcelled.
Nowhere in the entire course of his tray
els through the country had Colonel Roose-
welt such cause to be g~ratifed at the re-
ceptlon accorded him as at Lincoln-the
home town Of William Jennings Bryan. The
demonstration at that place surpassed all
hope or expectation and, as was said by
the newspaper correspondents that accom-
panied the party through all the other
states, eXcelled anything that had occurred
in the entire course of the tour of 5000
miles. 1t was a revelation to the people of
Lincoln as well as to Colonel Roosevelt and
his party. Lincoln was reached on the
second day and by the time the train ar
rived the population OF the entire surround
ing country had centered at that place and
merely waited for the arrival of the honored
guest to break into widest enthusiasm.
Ten thousand republicans met the train
at the depot and, forming a parade, es-
corted Colonel Roosevelt to the state house
grounds. In the parade were bands of

entire state of Nebraska, was such as should
make him feel that he is coming back
among old friends and may feel perfectly

Since the former visit of Theodore Roose-
welt to Omaha, although that was barely
two years ago, there has transpired an
epoch i'm the history Of the nation which
has wrought a most complete change in his
relation toward the people, but it is doubt
full If, as President Roosevelt, he will be
received with any more hearty and cordial
demonstration than attended his coming as
Colonel Roosevelt, the republican candidate
for the office of vice president.
The Nebraska trip was only a portion of
a grand tour of the western states made by
Colonel Roosevelt In the presidential cam
paign of 1900. Previous to coming here
he had visited Wisconsin, Minnesota, North
and South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Utah,
Colorado and Kansas, but it is doubtful II
in any of these states he received a more
truly hCspitable greeting or found mere live
republican enthusiasm crowded into any
four days than those he spent in Nebraska.
In this state he passed through forty-four
of the ninety counties and all six OF the
congressional districts and spoke TO many
thousands of people at the different stop
ping places along the route. Even at the
places where the train was not permitted
to stop, for lack of time, crowds numbering
hundreds and even thousands were gath
cred. merely in the hope that Colonel Roose-
welt might be visible for a moment as the
train passed along.
On that tour Colonel Roosevelt was ac-

pany had been organized for the purs
 pose of starring Ernest Lamson next season. The play borrows its name from the leading character, Young Tobe Hoxe," a mechanical genius of l country neighborhood who wins his first fame as the inventor of a remark able mouse trap. In character, the play is on a plane with York State Folks" "Shore Acres" and up York State,'' in all of which productions MT. Lamson has at one time or another taken part Always in hard luck,
 Young Tobe" makes his way in the world with difficulty but finally goes 10 the city and finds employment in a fac tory. Here he rapidly rises and be- comes recognized as a leader A wo- man, of course, figures in the plot and the final success of the hero in love and business furnishes a happy ending.
 Ernest Lamson, who takes the lead ing part, is already so well known that he needs no introduction. He is an actor of the same class as Tim Murphy, Frank Keenan and Sol Smith Russell. He has had wide experience in the the atrical world, playing characters of all kinds and descriptions and the favor with which he has always been re- ceived has attested his versatility and power. For three years he has been a prominent factor in York State Folks" playing the part of Lem Dun bar. Previous to that he was connected with "Shore Acres" Up York State" and other high class productions. Last year he was given an opportunity to star under the direction of Fred G. Berger, the former manager of Soi Smith Russell and it is the universal opinion that an opportunity alone has whose memory. it might be said, stands alone among the actors of his class.
 The production will be complete Tn every way; with elaborate scenery, correct costumes and all the things that are necessary for a first class presen- tation. The members of the cast will be selected with regard for their special abilities and will in every way be able to give their principal proper support Manager Miller is manager of the at traction and will retain his present pos sition in that capacity at the Colonial. He will go to New York in the spring where he will esta blish an office and ar range the bookings for both Young Tobe HoXie" and his local theater. At present he is hard at work opening negotiations for the organization and equipment of the company. The re- hearsals will probably take place in this city, the show opening in the east about the middle of September, 1903.
