"On with the fun: let Joy be unconfined,"
sang six high school girls as they tripped
to the Kings Highway last night after
watching the grand pageant Of King Ak
Sar-Ben as he passed among his people.
Their song was the unsaid thought Of
thousands Of others, some of them from
the utmost confines OF the kingdom Of
Quivera, who came to behold the glory
OF their ruler. Like the girls, when the
king had passed, they hurried to the high
way prepared by his majesty especially for
their amusement.
Throughout the hours when the sun was
shaping his western course the keepers
OF the big shows on the Highway were
pleased, for people were plenty, and into
their Golfers poured the shekels which were
the means by which they might wax fat
and live in ease The ping pong girls
danced their sauciest dances, the lions
growled their flercest growls, Roberta
posed in tights and the topsy-turvy hotel
turned topsy-turvy all the afternoon.
But when the shades of evening fell and
clarion horns in the distance announced
the approach of the king with his retinue,
Joy was no more in the heart of the keeper
Of the show The people of Quivera fled
to greet their noble king The Highway
chicken of feathers, Roberta arrayed her
self in modest skirts and hurried to see
the ruler, and the Hons stopped their growl-
ing for while.r For an hour and half
all was quiet along the Kings Highway.
When the king. with his army OF foot
men and horsenen, had passed among
them, the people returned to make merry
in honor OF Samson, their ruler. Roberta
got in tights again and the lions began to
growl Nine. Ami walked on the ceiling
like a fly and the handsome Japanese
prince danced on the high wire.
Two SWANS from Hastings approached
two maids from Blair. I'VE know not your
names fair ones" they said. but of YER
ity we know you are beautiful, and you
being children of Ak-Sar-Be and this the
time Of his autumn jubilee, you will not
allow us to suffer from lack of your COM
pany only for lack OF an introduction"
Said the girls then in return: For an
introduction It. needs only that you are
modest seeming young men and are sub
Jects of his majesty" Then one OF the
maids threw a handful of confetti into the
mouth of her admirer and the four danced
away together. 1t was thus also with
others, for merrlment reigned supreme and
there was not time. for conventionality.
Samson was pleased to note that his
people took kindly to his idea OF the sort
OF amusement which was good for them.
There were present on the Highway last
night q. 200 of his subjects, and this was
1850 more than took part In like pleas
ures a year ago Samson hopes to see the
people on the Highway today as many as
the sands of the sea.

SOME BRILLIANT LIGHT EFFECTS
city Never More Handsomely ALFRED
for the King


for the King.
Truly city OF light worthy the august
presence Of his imperial majesty King
Ak-Sar-Ben XI was the capitol Of the
Kingdom Of ouivera last night. Lights on
the buildings, high and low. l. ghts In count
less thousands. strung in rows above the
curbs and lights in arches In a multitude
OF places across the lmany streets-all this
made blaze of glory which the loyal
subjects OF the king delighted to see.
The spectacle was most impressive from
lower Farnam street. Looking toward the
west. one saw arch after arch Of lights
across the street, hung one above the other
by the incline of the hill. The visitor rid
Ing on the cars went past brilliantly lighted
windows, gaily decorated with bunting of
green and yellow and red. the favorite
colors of his majesty, the king Along the
side streets the lines OF lights stretched
away as far as the eye could see. Fairy
streets in dreams never looked more grand
than those which pleased the eye of proud
Quiveran noble or naughty dame
From Sixteenth to Eighteenth streets
many thousands of incandescent bulbs had
been placed, identifying like enchanted
palaces the court house. the city hail. Bee
building and other large structures along
the street. huge star on the east side
and shield on the north side we're two
OF the court houses most conspicuous
decorations. High up above the dome a
circle OF lights was respondent against the
background OF the sky while down along
the sides of the structure the lights were
hung In strings Across the street the
city hall was one mass OF illumination.
over the door and window, on arch and
parapet and tower on every place where
lights could be hung, they rested and liz
up the night with their radiance. Just
east The Bee building was ablaze over
the entrance large star with the letter
b In red lights, attracted the attention Of
the King as he passed by in the triunphal
procession. The Offices of the Omaha Elec-
trio Light and Power company in the New
YORK Life building, shone in splendor. At
the Brandeis store the illumination was
such that people who had heard of II
walked many blocks to see 1t. Two poles
were erected from the top Of the building
and lights had been hung between them
ana from them to the corners of the struc-
ture. Up and down the sides Of the build
ing at intervals were regular rows Of
lights.
Another beautiful thing was the en-
trance to the Kings Highway which many
did not notice as they entered but the
full benefit of the beauty of which they re-
ceived when they paused at Sixteenth
street and looked back on Douglas A very
pretty effect was made by the circles of
light on the tower.

girl on Sixteenth as the clock was ticking
along toward 8. =
Il guess we won't If we behave our
selves and be good" said the taller OF the
trio.
But won't be good. I'm going to be
bad; as bad as I can"
They went laughing into the whirl OF the
hundreds of merry jostlers that swung and
hung perslstently along the line OF the
parade. There was never better natured
crowd than last night, and perhaps never
one so eager. In places It was almost i'm
possible to restrain them. The mounted
police pushed them back, only to have them
close in behind.
The most severe congestion was at Doug
las street and Seventeenth. before the gates
Of the carnival grounds. There the street
was filled to the street car tracks on Six
tenth and the efforts at driving the crowd
back were unavailing. At other points
there was little trouble and the onIookers
were very orderly There were only three
arrests made in connection with the parade,
@. ID, Albion and Arthur Bloomfield for
obstructing the walk with chairs and II. b.
Thomas for resisting an officer were placed
In custody, being so charged at the Jail
fire caused a mOmentary ripple OF
alarm and the parade was halted while
the companies made the run. One truck
came down Sixteenth street through the
thickest OF the crowd and a few anxious
shouts and cries were heard. There was
no panic, however. and the FIRE teams were
kept in perfect control Most people had
the idea that the run was a fake. but
there was genuine call, The fire was at
lOS South Seventeenth street in the Keller
nat II broke out in a lumber closet on
the upper floor and was developing into
a lively blaze when the department arrived.
II is believed to have been started by
oarelessly thrown match. Little damage
was done. The possibility of an accident
was so great that the police were much
relieved when the time passed and none
we're reported II there were any mishaps
they we're so slight that nothing was heard
OF them.

The Elks.
The spirit of good cheer and fellowship
was carried out in a striking manner In
the Elks' float, which was a fine piece of
work. An heroic representation of an elk
occupied the front of the float clock with
the hands pointed to the emblematic hour
of II p. m. rested against an imposing back
ground. Beneath the clock were the typi
cal words "Cervus Alces," indicating "deer
elk" and Of particular significance to mem
bers Of the. Elks The cheering old tune
Of Aud Lang syne was played on chimes
inside the float. John Lund, H. O. Benford,
c. w, Goodall, H, Marshall, w. T. Sans,

occupied positions on the float. Riding
horses were William Elbourn, E. r. Brai-

winged dove of peace appeared with an
olive branch over clouds. A miniature
world was shown as indicative of the scope
Of the order. while large stump and an
axe and mallet further carried out the
suggestion that the float represented the
Woodmen of the World. William Yates.
F. II. Shetwell, c. s. Sawtell and L. Hen

patriotic air surrounded the Eagle float
from the time. 1t left the den until the
return trip was made. The chief figure
on this hoat was arlarge eagle in the at
utude of flying. The emblem Of the Fra
ternal Order OF Eagles was prominently
shown surrounded by American flags. The
foliage sand lights helped to make this
float one Of the richest designs in the
parade. The letters. IL. T. ]. E." rep
resenting love, truth. justice and equality
were in evidence on the float. On the float
were r. II. Manley, Charles Armstrong.
