Omaha daily bee., 1909-05-09

~~HREE epochs in the early history of Omaha are the birth Of
the city in May, 1854, breaking ground for the Union
Pacific railroad, December 2, 1863, and the celebration
of the completion of the Overland Route, May 10, 1869.
The first epoch was speculation, the second anticipation,
the third realization. Naturally, the last was celebrated with a
greater degree of public rejoicing than was possible on the previous
occasions. There were more people to pull off a celebration, and
there were more reasons for a genuine outburst of popular Joy.
The spirit animating the people of Omaha on May 10, 1869,
forty years ago, was reflected in the terse EXPLANATIONS of the Omaha
Republican of a preceding date. The Omaha city council having
appropriated a sum of money foI the celebration of 'the grandest
affair which the annals of Omaha have ever shown" the Republican
exclaimed: go ahead, boysl Set off your fireworks! Fire all
your big guns! Shut up your shops! Get up the largest and most
imposing procession you can, and crown all with the grandest festiv-
tiles known! Dance, sing and shout until you make it distinctly
known that you will run Omaha against the world as the headquar-
tiers of enterprise"
Omaha had the celebration goods and delivered them.
Preparations for the Event
Anticipating the event by several weeks, committees were a-
pointed to make the necessary arrangements. Dr. George L. Miller,
George W. Frost and Patrick o. Halves constituted the committee on
of the parade committee. They secured the attendance of the off,
GERS of the Department of the Platte, all the local railroad officials,
city, county and state functionartes, several distinguished citizens of
Nebraska and adjoining states, and delegations of paraders and cele-
labor or expense was spared to make the celebration worthy of the
OCCASION"
The morning of the glorious day opened fair, and continued so
throughout the day and night. The weather seemed to enter into
the spirit of the event and contributed materially to the enjoyment
of the people. Two gentle showers sprtnkled the dust OF natures
pavements, making the highways most agreeable for the marchers.
Reception of visitors and assembling of the various divisions of the
procession occupied the forenoon, the noon hour was devoted to re-
freshments and at l o'clock were ready for the signal. AT 1912 D.
m. the telegraph licked off the strokes of the hammer driving the
golden spike at Promontory Point, and at the same instant a salute
of 100 guns Numbered the joyful tdings to the waiting multitude.
Church bells and fire bells rang out between shots, steam whistles
increased the din and the bands blew and drummed a note of har-
mony into the CONFUSION of noise.

For a Stamp and Income Tax.

Washington, April 19.-As a solu-
ton OF the revenue problem the DEM
ocrsts in the Senate will urge amend
ments to the Payne bill imposing a
stamp tax on stock exchange trans.
iers and an income tax. They decid-
ed upon the income tax at a caucus
last Monday and at another caucus
last Friday afternoon they decided
to support the tax on stock trans,
actions. After caucus Friday IT was
announced that both amendments
would receive the support OF the en-
tire Democratic side.
A committee was appointed to pre-
pare the amendment taxing stock
transfers. The committee probably
will agree upon the provision OF the
law under which such transactions
we're taxed during the Spanish war.
The hide, oil and lumber amend
ments were also discussed by the
caucus, but no agreement was
reached regarding them.

Farmers Pigs Play Leap Frog.

John Harwood, a farmer, living
four miles south OF Springfield, has
been worried for a long time about q
bunch of hogs he has been feeding
for the market. Aiser feeding them
on corn for three months he could
see no sign OF the porkers iattening.
Harwood became alarmed lest
some disease had broke out among
them. He learned that none OF his
neighbors' stock was showing signs
OF poor health.
It was only last night that he
solved the puzzle. CHANGING to pass
the pig lot be saw the porkers per.
forming some sort OF gymnastic ex-
ercise. A white hog, the scrawniest
in the bunch, apparently was In
structing the rest OF the swine in q
rude sort of exercise which would
keep any hog from getting fat.
Harwood watched the pigs for
some time, not realizing at first
there was q systematic effort In the
evolutions.
He decided to-day to separate the
white pig from the Others In the
hope that the bunch would put on
some fat from the corn diet.
