LYDIA E. PINkHAM

Nature and woman's work com.
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned DAYS OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field TO
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia +. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
Of the world remedy for their pc
cullar ills, more potent and etiica-
ci0us thanany combination ofdrugs.
lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 5l5N.C. St,
louisiana, Mo-, writes:

"For twelve years / had been suffer

horseback galloped down the crowded
streets they made an inspiring spectacle
and one which will long be remembered by
the multitudes that flocked to the city to
witness II.
This goes to show how wideawake the
powers that devote their attention to anus
ing the populace are. Nothing Is allowed to
pass by that would help to amuse and in
struct the visitors to the carnival.
AS the parade threaded it's way down the
streets the people were given the chance to
view samples Of the other military organic
atoms, the National guards, the High
school cadets, the drill teams of the great
fraternal societies, which though not mill
tary are organized and uniformed on a
military basis.
After the military section had passed
came the Omaha fire fighters with their
equipment, the finest in the west, shining
in the sunlight, rejecting the zeal and en-
ergy, which had been expended on it with
cloth and polisher. This alone was an edu-
cation in fire fighting that the crowd are
seldom permitted to take advantage Of.
But the daylight parade would not be a
success without the comic section. First
came the show people from the Highway.
In gaudy and fantastic costumes they pre-
sented a moving panorama of the High
way, camels and elephants alternating with
dancing girls, fat boys, freaks, cowboys
and Indians. But for pure fun the comic
section proper with its squads of clowns.
grotesque masqueraders, karnival koppers,
fairies, dancing maidens, wearers of di-
r~ectoire gowns capped tho climax. They
cav variety to the entertainment and
prepared the crowd for the Karnival Knew
which followed with fha f1oafa narrV{n0
the paraphernalia used In the initiation
at the den. AS the caravan of wonders
disappeared in the distance the crowds that
lined the streets moved away in a happy
humor, their minds well prepared to enjoy
the recreation of an afternoon or night on
the carnival grounds.
Without this procession the entertain
ment offered the crowds would have lacked
something important. But with 1t the whole
entertainment was given a romp end finish
that II could only get from an elaborate
street demonstration.
After the first big parade the crowds
thought the limit had been reached. But
they changed their minds as the big cleo
trcal procession wormed It's way down the
street Wednesday night under the glare of
thousands Of electric lights. King Ak-Sar.
Ben knows how to entertain his subjects
when It comes to electrical pageants for
he has been in the business a long time
and his right hand man, Gus RENEE, is an
expert when it comes to putting up the

AS the floats, representing one by ono
the states of the Golden West, rolled, by
their piles of yellow fruit and heaps OF

the plains and mountains, the assembled

night they more than made up the amount
of the guaranty, with the four biggest days
to come.
THE Highway shows we get through
q booking agency in New York They send
US their list and we select from it such
entertainments as we think people want
to see. Then there are independent con-
Germs that come in sometimes after the
carnival starts. If they are good we take
them in. This year we started with
twenty-one shows, but before the beginning
of the second week we had t~wenty-four
the largest number we have ever had. 1t
takes hard work and good judgment to
select the right kind of entertainments and
then get the shows that will fill the bill"
1--WE have had the best shows ever given
at any carnival in Omaha" is the way
Emil Brandeis summed up the situation.
''There are the diving horses and Cali
fornia Franks Wild West show which
were attractions at Dreamland. We have
tried to give the people a real Coney Island
performance. These two horses alone are
the highest priced attractions In the coun-
try.
'Then our menagerie and one ring circus
make up one of the best little shows in
the United States, The trick elephant is
as good as any, the bareback riding and
the dancing horse are also the equal of
anything to be seen In the big circuses.
Sullivan and Kilrain have exhibited in some
of the best theaters in the country and are
high priced attractions. The ~thirty-one
shows on the ground makes up by far the
best set Of carnival attractions ever seen
In the west
I'VE get them by giving them guarantee.
This Is the policy we will pursue hereafter,
because the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival is a per
mansnt thing and we will have to keep up
to the high standard of this year. The
reason for the good attendance is that we
have given good shows. We do what We
advertise to do.
Every thing we have shown this year
has been of a higher class than ever before
and we expect to start right away as soon
as the carnival is over to book attractions
for next year Ak-Sar-Ben has come to be
a feature of Omaha the same as Mardi
Gras is of New Orleans and it ought to
last forever and the way to make it perma-
nent is to keep up the standard.
I'VE are always adopting new ideas for
the entertainment OF the multitude. This
year we put in a dancing platform after
the style Of the one run on the beach at
Dreamland and 1t has been a great sue
cess. We have had no complaints at all in
regard to it. The reason we get the crowds
is that everyone is satisfied with what we
Civ them"
Added to the big attractions on the Kings
highway this year were the two big
parades, both of which surpassed anything
ever attempted before. The day light
parade Tuesday afternoon had an unusual
feature in 1t made possible by the presence
OF the Second cavalry. AS the soldiers on
Omaha daily bee., 1908-10-04

that is In every westerner's breast re-
sponded to the mute appeal while the pomp
of the whole pageant added its influence
in thrilling the onlookers.
The big electrical parade also appealed
to the sense of the ludicrous. AS the sec
ton giving Samson's version Of modern
problems of practical "politix" passed by
it was followed by the laughter Of the
multitudes. The big procession appealed
not only to the dignity, but also to the
humorous side of those who saw 1t.
The monster professions formed a very
important part Of the entertainment dished
out to the people Of Nebraska and western
Iowa, who came to Omaha last week.
While they alone would not have accom-
plished even a small fraction of what has
been done in the way of entertainment for
tho crowds they helped to focus the
streams of slghtseers on certain days and
nights of the big festival.
The presence Of the Second cavalry was
a feature of the big show that cannot be
overestimated in Importance, Mounted
soldiers going through the evolutions with
a precision little short of marvellous is
something that is not seen often and the
opportunity given Omaha visitors this fall
was a rare one.
In addition to their presence in the parade
Tuesday the soldiers went through their
evolutions several times on the beautiful
drill grounds at Fort Omaha for the BEN
eft Of the carnival crowds. The real mill
tary tinge given the festivities was az
unique as it was important.
But all the parades in Christendom
couldn't make a carnival. It takes a COM
bination of sllrging crowds, flying confetti,
hoarse-voiced spieleTs, screeching maidens,
crying children, tired mothers and eXas-
pcrated fathers to make a real carnival.
All this and more is provided on the Kings
highway. The committee provides the
shows, the shows furnish the spielers and
the crowds take care Of the rest.
ION the Kings Highway on a Crowded
Night" might be a fitting title to a Carter
thriller that would keep the boys In the
gallery awake for three solid hours. es-
pecially If the heroine happens TO he a
pretty young woman of frail physique, as
heroines usually are. The dizzy thorough
fare will provide more excitement to the
square inch than any other spot IN America
il you select the psychological moment
when the merrymaking Is at it's height and
the confetti throwers just I'm the right
mood.
Every school girl has a tale to tell
after the carnival of how she was jostled
to death at ore moment and when she
opened her mouth TO scream som rude
person filled it with pulverized paper, al
most choking her TO death and then while
she was frant'cally trying to get the stuff
out OF her mouth some other rude person
filled her eyes and nostrils with the same
stuff, nearly Sitting her, and finally
when she had almost given up hope of
ever getting out Of the crowd some good

airship and balloon flights that held the
crowds every afternoon. As the beautiful
airship arose and ciroled around the high
buildings, however, the feeling Of nervous
dread that attacked most OF tho onlookers
at first changed to one of admiration.
After the free show is over the enter

there is going. will start in on the tented
shows. If he is a real sport or even a has
been he will strike out at once for the air
dome to see his old hero, John L. Sullivan.
do his little vaudeville turn and then spar
his three rounds with Jake Kilrain. John
L., of course, is the center Of observation in
this show. He comes out on the stage and
allows the audience to size UP the man
who for so long held the championship OF
the heavy weight ring. Then he starts off
with his Irish stories TO get the crowd in
a good humor. At the close he retires to
don his ringside clothes and introduces his
adversary in the sparring match with a
~jocular little speech. The three-round
bout Is not to be taken very seriously
either by the principals or the spectators,
but it serves its purpose of giving every
one q chance to watch the big fighter in
action.
After he has seen his fill of the Sullivan
show the industrious sightseer will search
out the tent where he heard the beat of the
tambourine and the shrill whistle of some
instrument a cross between a bagpipe and a
whistle. He locates the sound as coming
from a tent In which, according to the
big signs on the outside-all the mysteries
of the oriental dance will be unfolded for

Then came Miss Mamie herself mounting
another steed at the platform. She herself
apparently has more confidence than her
horse.
Poor thing, they oughtn't to make 1t
jump. says the nervous woman, as the
beautiful animal stretches its neck and
whinnies.
"Oh 1 CAM bear to look at it, I'm afraid
III faint" says the same woman as the
horse finally, after a nerve-racking wait,
makes the leap with the girl on its back,
lands with a splash in the water and then
swims out with the rider clinging to the
girth. The act was an appalling one to
the thousands who have not had their
nervous systems calloused by watching the
spectacular performances that fill the
galleries at cheap theaters.
In the same class as thrillers were the

looking youth with a strong arm rushed
her to a place of safety. Even Nellie, the
Beautiful Cloak Model, could hardly tell
q tale more thrilling. But the school girl
will go back next year. and still again
the year after that and then every year
until she finally has to yield to the in
evitable and go under the guard Of her
youthful %grandsons. The lure of the High
way never fails after its Intoxicating in
fluence is once felt.
OF all the shows on the Highway the
grand free spectacle that comes every aft
ernoon and evening is the one most talked
about of course or It would fail its prin-
cipal purpose. There was Mamie Frances
and her two beautiful Arabian diving
horses. Those who saw Miss Mamie do
her blood-curdling act of leaping fifty feet
on horseback into a pool Of water will
talk about it for weeks and months after
they nave gone home. And this is not
surprising, for Miss Frances has been
the talk of Coney Island and anyone who
gets the habitues of that gay little island
to talking needs no other recommendation
in the show line.
Miss Frances did her breath-catching act
from a platform in full view of the thou
sands on the Highway. First there was
the pretty little Arabian steed that ran
up the long incline to the high platform,
looked over the CLASSY surface of the
water as If picking a soft place to land
and then after apparently testing the
springing possibilities OF the platform itself
made the wild plunge alone and unblddsr
in the bosom of the pool
