ISLANDERS IN GALA ATTIRE
President Proposes to Attend Church
and Take n Horseback
Ride.
(From a Stan Correspondents

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., April 25.-(spe-
cial Telegram.)-Grand Island is on the quI
vive for the arrival of President Roosevelt
and his party early tomorrow morning. AL
though the formal reception does not come
till Monday the city is already prettily
decorated and crowded with strangers sure
to be followed by still larger crowds. The
wish of the president was to have Sun
day entirely free from a set program and
he is therefore to devote his time accord
ing to his own free will. His only expressed
purpose Is to attend church in the morning
and take a horseback ride in the afternoon.
For the devotional services he will be left
to his own choice Of church. There Is
no Dutch Reformed church here, so the
chairman OF the committee having that
matter in charge. DR.. H. c.. Miller. has ar
ranged to have the presidential party &C
commodated at any Of four or I'VE churches
that he ma prefer. II the president ex-
presses no preference, he will be taken by
DR.. Miller to his own church, the Episcopal,
of which Rev. Louis A. Arthur is pastor.
For the ride a route has been laid out
covering twenty-five miles, the only stop
ping place being the Taylor ranch 20 the
northwest of the city, where the horses
will be relayed. The mounts for the presi-
dent have been furnished, one by T. b.
Hord OF Central City and the other by
@. C. Anderson of Dannebrog. The presl-

seats at the Den.


Only one section of seats will be reserved
at the den; that will be section A, for the
Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben and the receiving
and presidential parties. All the other
seats will be open to the public and every
effort will be made to accommodate as
comfortably as possible all who crowd into
the large auditorium, which will seat about
5000 people.
Chief D~onohIe, anticipating the great
crowds, has issued A note Of warning to the
public to be on the guard against pick
pockets who will multiply on the occasion
tomorrow. In a number OF ways the chief
points out how losses OF money and valu-
ables may be avoided-chiehy by leaving
the yaluables ut home-and urges people
to be particularly on their guard when the
crowds become densest, for that is when
the sreak thieves get in their harvest. The
chief announces that he has %arrang for
special police protection throughout the
afternoon and evening, but that unless the
public co-operates with him and his de-
partment in is own protection little that
the of1cers can do will be availing.
words of Chief
''Please say for U.S." said the chief, that
while we will do the very best we can to
protect the citizens OF Omaha against the
depredations Of the invasion of crooks on
that occasion. 1t will be impossible for us
to furnish a guard for every Individual.
We will arrest every suspicious character
that puts in his appearance here from now
until after the president leaves, and have
already begun the work. People should
be very careful about leaving their homes
securely locked and watched during the
parade. And 1t is advised that they deposit
their money in the banks and their dia-
monds in the safety deposit vaults for that
day particularly. There will be a big
gang Of sneaks and pickpockets here and
il viii be their aim to work all crowded
street cars, particularly down about the
depots.
I'VE shall have to keep the crowd OF the
viaduct. as there is afforded every oppor-
tunity that piekpoekets desire II a big
crowd is present. The people by lining ur
along the streets can see the parade, and
1t is advised hat they do so rather than
trust to being iammed into a big crowd

HUMBOLDT. Neh-, May s.-Cspecial)-
The city today enters upon its dry reign,
and neither saloon. billiard hall. bowling
alley or other similar place OF amusement
or resort is open. After two years of Ii
cense the people this spring again re-
turned to the old policy Of no open sa-
looms. The newly elected council, with
Mayor John Power at the head, was sworn
in last night. No effort has been made to
get a license and interest -centered prin-
cipally in the question OF whether or not
permits would be issued for the billiard
hall and bowling alley to do business and
as to who would wear the marshal's star.
Last night when the matter came up for
consideration the billiard hall and bowling
alley men were backed by many OF the
temperance advocates as we'll as the license
people. but the petition made no impress
sion on Mayor Power, who refused to grant
permits under any circumstances. There
had been much strife over the marshalship
ever since the campaign was over, but the
contest had finally narrowed down to two.
Frank Todd and Tom James. At the last
moment James appeared before the board
and stated that he was not an applicant
for the place. The mayor accordingly
placed the name of FRANK Todd before the
council for the place and it promptly con-
frmed his selection.
