foutune and the vociferous shouts of the
crowd did he get the train to stop and
take him along.
At least 200 persons took advantage Of
the evening to visit the depot and see
friends and relatives started. 1t reminded
one of the sailing Of an ocean liner. and
the noise Of the visitors and the excur-
sionists was so great at the preliminaries
attending that starting of the train was
unnotieed until the cars were really in mo-
tion. 1t was said by those at the depot to
be the best trade and pleasure excursion
which ever left Omaha, as it included not
only a majority of the board of governors
OF the Knights OF Ak-Sar-Ben, but a large
proportion of the heads OF Omaha houses.
The train was made up of FIVE sleeping
cars, two standard Pullmans and three
tourist cars. The men generally took the
tourist cars. leaving the standard sleepers
to the men who were accompanied by wo-
men, and to the South Omaha party of
twenty-six persons who had engaged one
Of the standard cars especially for the
members OF the Stock Exchange.
Cars Neatly Decorated.
The cars were decorated with Ak-sar-
Ben colors, banners Of that order flying
from the front of each car, while along the
sides were printed streamers bearing ths
words: Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Pilgrimage,

ers in place were covered with paper OF the
Ak-sar-Ben eolors. A baggage car had for
the time being been transformed into a COM
missary car and carried not only food. but
samples and advertising matter for the ex-
cursionists.
Accompanying the excursion was the
Twenty-Second Infantry band. in charge
OF Bandmaster Reichart, consisting Of
twenty pieces. The band will not only
head the procession Of the Omaha men at
Deadwood, but will supply music where
stops were made enroute.
