Dan KiIlen Answers,

Delegates to the convention and all
other visitors in the city in con-
nection with the meeting We're ten
dered reception and entertain
ment last night at the Commercial club
Nearly 200 were present. representing every
important town and city in the state. The
reception was given as welcome on the
part of the citizens Of Omaha and in an
address OF welcome Mayor Dahlman turned
over the key to the city.
With Mayor Dahlman and Dan Killen Of
Adams as the first two speakers on the
program, for the few minutes 1t appeared
as If the leading question was to be on
things political. The mayor had spoken
scarcely a dozen words before he referred
to his candidacy for governor and how he
was going TO defeat the Adams man. Mr..
Killen replied in kind, saying 1t was Char
acteristie Of the mayors party to be very
optimistic before results" with special
emphasis on the before" C. r. Sherman,
third speaker. said: Rather than a meet
ing of harmless pharmacists, 1t looks as II
this Is coming out party for gubernatorial
candidates"
Mayor Dahlman extended the visitors a
hearty welcome on behalf OF the city and
its citizens. He said in part; 1.-THE citizens
Of the city Of Omaha have authorized me,
as their chief executive. to welcome visitors
20 our great city, and the welcome comes
from the bottom Of their hearts. They have
authorized me to turn over 10 you the key
to our city. and 1 do so. knowing that II
viii be returned without stain and without
blemish. l know the committee in charge
will show you royal good time"
Dan Killen responded to the welcome,
thanking the mayor for his hearty and
sincere words of welcome Ha namad ovev
a few OF the reasons why visitors like to
come to Omaha. First, because they are
invariably given cordial reception.
| Second. because the city is representative
OF the greatest men and the greatest busl-
ness industries Of the west.
In your city is represented every line
OF business" said Mr. Killen. your whole
sale business houses are able to meet every
demand made upon them, and your in
stitutions Of learning, your churches and
your hospitals. are without parallel west
OF the Mississippi"
c. II. Sherman spoke for the Omaha
members OF the association. He seconded
the welcome OF the mayor and expressed
his pleasure at once more seeing the
members Of the association in Omaha. An
impromptu talk was made by Prof. c. 8. N
Hallberg, Of Chicago, who compared oma-
ha OF today with Omaha when he was last
here about fifteen years ago. Then the
streets looked ragged and were poorly kept
up. he said. and now they are not excelled
even by those OF Chicago. He closed by
congratulatlng Omaha upon its prosperity.
Following the program came the recep-
ton. Punch and ice cream was served and
the remainder OF the evening spent In get

A LINCOLN STORY

"Among Lincoln's circus stories," said

"a circus, LincoIn's story ran, visited
Newcastle, and the town tough turned
out, the afternoon Of its arrival, to see
what sort of circus it was.
"a canvasman was making his usual
round, shouting. "Off the guy-ropes,
thereI OF the guy.ropesl' when he came
suddenly on the town tough, who was
leaning against the canvas tent wall in
the sun, smoking corncob.
eye wuzn't talkin' to me, wux ye,
stranger?' said the tough. hunching up
bis shoulders wickedly.
"0b, no, sir" said the canvasman,
frightened by the touRh's size. ST only
just wanted to warn you, sir, that it's a
little dangerous to lean against the tent
that way, as the elephant might kick you,
sir"
'sThe tough snorted with contempt.
.tDrat yer elephant" be growled. I'll
clean out the hull show, elephant an
all, if ye give me any of yer lip"
"The canvasman skunk off humbly, and
few minutes later went inside and told
the boss. The boss. who weighed over
two hundred and stood six feet six in his
socks, chuckled and took up one OF the
enormous mallets that were used to drive
in tent pegs.
'show me where he's leaning" was
all he said.
"The canYasman led the boss to the
place where the sough's form made q
long, oval dent in the tent wall. The boss
chuckling again, fixed bis eye on that
spot, just below the tough's coat-tails,
where the dent was deepest, and swing
ing the mallet twice round his head, he
struck with all his might.
"There was dull thnd, cry OF pain
and fear, and the tough leaped ten feet,
and then made off down the road as fast
as he could run.

itants shouted as be tore through the

ADJUSTMENTS

belated patronage due the Lambardi
Opera company came in with rush
Saturday afternoon. A superb audi
ence witnessed the fine double bill pre-
pared, and the heavy receipts of the
afternoon did something towards heal
ing the sore places caused by the light
attendance at tho opening perform
ances.
The enthusiasm which greeted the
two operas. "Pagliacci" and "Caval-
leria Ristlcana," was of the most tre-
mendous sort, and the general opinion
was that the bill was the very best of
any in the repertoire, with the possl-
BILE exception OF I'll TroVatore.
The honors in the afternoon were borne
by the tenor Scalabrinl, who had two
very widely different parts in the two
works. and sang both In electric
fashion. Sharing the honors with him
was the soprano Adaberto, who sang
San tuzZa in "Rusticanna." These two
artists are the undoubted headliners
OF the organization. and ought to have

PLANS ISLAND RESORT.
j. F.. DooIy Talks of Scheme to Make
Use of Antelope Island.

President ]. e. Dooly of the Ante

thinking several years ahead for tho
devotion of that picturesque island to
summer resort purposes, This will in
VolVc the building of a four-mile rail-
road trestle from the Jeremy salt
works to the south end of the island.
followed by the building of a fill that
will separate entirely the waters of the
great lagoon cast of Antelope from the
waters of the main body of the lake to
the west of the island Mr.. Dooly also
considers it perfectly feasible To build
dyke between the northernmost point
of Antelope and Fremont island. with
a continuation of the dyke to the Lucln
cutoff approach south of Bear River
bay. In this way every section of the
lake east of q north and south line
through Antelope can be made a fresh
water lake. the overflow waters running
into the Great Salt Lake to the west
AS it is, Bear River bay is now
solid mass of ice because II is practi-
cally a fresh water body.
With a railroad running from this
city directly to Antelope island and
cncircllng II, Mr. Dooly is confident the
western side could easily and proftably
he built up with summer cottages, and
made Il great summer season resort
with unparalleled salt water bathing
while on the eastern shore would be
the best of fresh water bathing. as well
as a fine rowing ground for racing and
pleasure boats. There is plenty of fine
water on the island. and when the pop
ulation of contributory territory is In
creased to a somewhat larger figure,
Mr.. Dooly believes this proposed inn
provement can be profitably under
taken.
The Methodsts proposed In 1883 TO
secure the land adjoining Central bay
on the west side of the island to make
OF ii n Utah Chautauqua, and build a
railroad over there. but the scheme fell
through as 1t was finally considered
that this part of the state had not suC-

south to Picrpont street. thence east
on Pierpont street across West Temple
street and into the middle of the block
behind the Cullen hotel where it is
proposed to erect depot on the site
occupied by the Mccoy Livery stable.
There Is considerable opposition to
this franchise and 1t will probably be
amended in several places. Some of
the councilmen want the route changed
so that tho Saltair cars viii come in
over First South street to First West
street. This would necessltate tho
building of a viaduct over the oregon
Short Line and the Denver & Rio
