THREE BIG NIGHTS THIS YEAR
Electrical Pageant, Taft Day and Bali
VIII Draw Their Crowds.

Instead of the fall festival having one
big night to attract outsiders, there will
be two big nights this year, or rather.
three. II the ball Is counted. The electrical
parade always attracts thousands in the
surrounding country and will do 50 again
this year, for the theme OF the Golden
West" is one which strikes home to all the
dwellers of the Kingdom OF Quivera. The
second big night this year Is designated
as Taft and fireworks night" Taft is a
drawing card wherever he appears, and now
that he is the presidential candidate on the
republican ticket, thousands turn out to
hear him wherever he appears. He will
be in Omaha next Thursday night, Octobrer
l, and while the exact program of his
speeches has not been announced, the COM
mittee probably will arrange that thous-
ands will bc able TO see and hear Mr.. TAFT.
The Board Of Governors has also oon-
tracted for a display Of fireworks that will
be one of the wonders OF the carnival
The order is already In and large force
of workmeu is busily engaged In building
giant set-pieces and all sorts OF aerial dis
plays. The 5000 fireworks display will
be given from the Rosewater lot on Doug
las street near the Seventeenth street en-
trance. and It will be high enough that
thousands may see. That a large crowd
is expected for Thursday night is evidenced
by the extra preparations the railroads
are making in the way OF specials Thurs
day night into Omaha and out OF Omaha
after the fireworks Ou the same schedule
as It announced for the electrical parade
Of Wednesday night.
