The dust and sand which blew across
the prairies added another unpleasant
feature to the journey, which was Of
circuitous route.
After leaving Grand Island, the first
stop was Hastings. Falrmont and
Crete received short stops, and the
train arrived at Lincoln at O'Clock.
After brief stops at Walioo and Free
mont the journey was not again inter-
rupted until Omaha was reached, at
Sis.
Much preparation had been made In
this city for the presidents coming and
he was greeted by probably 5o,O00 peo-
pie, who lined the streets on both sides
for mile and half along the route Of
the carriage drive. From every flag
staff in the city Old Glory floated proud
