Lincoln. Beautifully Decorated.
Lincoln more than any of the other points
visited was profuse in red, white and blue;
every window few the American flag. The
postofice, the university, the state house,
the commercial buildings, the residences.
each waved a welcome from a hundred
flags to the hero OF the people. Across the
street on o, between Twelfth and Thir-
teenth, was suspended a large picture Of the
president. The postofice was a waving
mass. Hundreds Of flags flying in the wind
from many windows gave this building a
most beautiful appearance. At the state
house the most artistic work was done. In
every window on the north and west was
the presidents picture framed in the ma
tional colors. The long corridors radiating
from the center to the north, south, east
and west were arched in flags and red,
white and blue. Bunting tapering from
the STATS of which were smaller flags, like
red, white and blue lace. Every ofhce-door
was covered with portions OF red, white
and blue. The walls Of every ofhce on the
first floor were resplendent with color.
Congressman Burket, 7. C. Munge, chair
mar of the, congressional committee; Past
Master Ed. Sizes were at the head Of the
committee that arranged the details of the
reception. -.
The speech at Lincoln dwelt more espe-
cially upon the duties Of citizenship.

Before the visit to Lincoln was ended
1t had begun to sprinkle and when Wahoo
was reached the rain fell in continuous
downpour, but that did not prevent the
president from addressing the assembled
crowd of adults and children from the rear
car platform. e, --. o. 80;
