EXCURSION TO BLACK HILLS
Capacity Of Special Train Likely TO Be
Tested by Omaha Men.

The proposed excursion to Deadwood
which will start Tuesday is the principal
theme discussed in Commercial club and
Ak-Sar-Ben circles, and from present in
dications the 100 persons who are expected
to go will increase 90 per cent before the
train starts Tuesday evening. The hustling
committee OF the Knights Of ~Ak-Sar-Ben,
with 100 tickets for sale, started to work
Monday afternoon, and before night one.
member sold 10 per cent OF the total NUM-
Der taken out by the committee, while
other members made good sales at the
same time. This batch of 100 tickets Is all
that are Immediately at the disposal Of the
promoters Of the excursion. so that there
is no assurance after they are disposed Of
that others can be secured. The managers
hope to be able to secure at least fifty more
tickets for the special train II they are de-
sired. but as the train Is a special the COM
panies handling 1t may not desire to in
crease the number Of cars, as some Of the
territory will be covered at a very rapid
rate in order to conform to the schedule.
Details of the Trip.
The details Of the trip are still being pre-
pared and 1t has not been decided as to the
time the train will return to the city. 1t
will leave the Webster street station at 8
O'Clock Tuesday evening and make the run
to Long Pine without stop. This much
has been determined. The itinerary from
Long Pine to D~eadwood, with stops at Hot
Springs, the stations along the Elkhorn In
Nebraska and at Sturgis, has been prac-
tically settled upon. 1t is now contem-
plated to reach Omaha on the return trip
Sunday morning instead Of Saturday at
noon, as previously announced. The COM
mittee having in charge the arrangements
with the railroads find that 1t will be posi-
BILE to give the members Of the party an
opportunity to visit the towns between
Grand Island and lincoln on the line Of the
Burlington by changing the date of arrival.
It is urged in favor of a revision Of the
itinerary that Saturday afternoon is a half
holiday in the jobbing district, anyway, and
that little business would be transacted by
the members OF, the party IL they should be
In Omaha, while the territory through
which the train will pass on It's way to
Lincoln is one which has not been visited
by Omaha jobbers in person in several
years.
Longer Stay in DeadwOOd.
The revised schedule may permit a longer
stop in Deadwood and an opportunity to at
tend the evening session of the Elks' carni-
val. All Of these reasons incline the COM
mittee to look with favor upon the proposed
change, but the final schedule will not be
announced until later in the week. Tho
railroad officials profess to be able to supply
the train and run 1t according to any sched-
ule which may be determined upon with
notice as late as Saturday, so that it may
be the last of the week before the final ar
rangements are published.
