Great Preparations for Wei

Secretaries Shaw and Wilson and Gov.
Cummins Among the Distinguished
Guests.
President Theodore Roosevelt will
visit Denison next Friday. Prepara-
tsons for his visit have been made on
grand scale and it is expected that this
will be the rallying point of all west
ern Iowa to greet the President, the
two Iowa Cabinet members and the
chief executive of the state. The rail-
roads have made every preparation to
transport the immense crowds sure to
come and the line of march insures
everyone an opportunity to see the
President.
The President will make brief
address and it is whispered that the
Denison speech, made in the heart of
Iowa and at the home of his great ca BIZ
net minister will be one OF the most
important and epoch making speeches
OF the year. The speech will be not
alone for the people present at the
meeting but for the Nation at large
Every important newspaper in the
United States will have its representa-
tives here so that on Saturday morn
Ing the words Of the President will be
read by millions of people from ocean
TO ocean.
The Presidential train of FIVE cars
will arrive over the Illinois Central
railroad shortly after six o'clock and
the Presidential party which numbers
in the neighborhood Of sixty persons
will be greeted by the reception com.
mittee, the Carnival Queen and her
Maids of Honor, at the station. The
party will be seated in their carriages
and the procession headed by squad
ron OF police and attended by large
mounted escort will at once proceed
along the line Of march. Even at this
late day tits impossible to give the ex-
act line OF march owing to the many
tents and buildings which occupy the
principal streets of the city. The OBJ
jective point of the parade will be the
residence of Secretary Leslie M. Shaw,
in whose honor the President makes
his visit to Denison. The President
Will occupy the first carriage which
will be an open one so that all may see
him.
The speaking stand will be erected
just west and south of the Stewart
Lumber Co. building. It will be bril-
liantly lighted with arc lights and the
location will be such that twenty thous-
and people can see and hear the Presi-
dent. Mayor John 7. Carey will pre-
side over the meeting and the Presi-
dent will be introduced by Secretary
Leslie M Shaw. At the close of the
Presidents address the line of march
will be resumed to the Illinois Central
station where the train will be in wait
ing and the Presidents western journey
will be Immediately resumed.
This is bare outline of what will
be the greatest event in the history
OF Crawford county and of western
Iowa. Arrangements are now under
way by which it is hoped that the Fort
Dodge company of the Iowa National
Guard will be here to act as an escort
OF Honor to the President. The in.
structions as to the police regulation
and all the details of the reception have
been furnished by the Presidents
Secretary, Mr.. Cortleyou. 1t is desired
that there shall be no salutes either of
firearms or fireworks near the Presi-
dental party, all unnecessary noises
will be stopped, the streets through
which the procession passes will be
roped and none but those taking part \
the parade will be allowed inside tie
lines, this is done not only as precau-
tion for the Presidents safety but in
order that the largest number of people
possible may have an opportunity to
see the President.
The committee will visit every house
along the line of march and request
that special decorations be made and it
is expected that every house in Deni
son will be decorated if not for the
benefit of ihe Presidents eye, for the
eyes of the thousands of visitors who
will throng our streets.
The event has been we'll advertised
throughout western Iowa and no matter
what the weather is the crowds will be
here Every possible arrangement has
been made for the comfort of the visi-
tors. All will be welcome and Denison
will do her best to make the Presidents
visit not only an historic but pleasant
!, one.
Carnival Bowery.
The famous Egermayer string band
OF Carroll will furnish music for the
Grand Bowery. =.
