FUN CALLS OUT RESERVE FORCE
ReveIers Become Tired Wednesday
Night, but Chirp Up Again.

That reserve force, which is a character
istic of the Nebraskan was called on some
what this morning by the thousands of WIS.,
itors, after the festivities of the night be-
fore and very few tired faces were seen
on the streets. Wednesday night 1t was
tired though satisfied crowd that wended
it's way homeward after the parade, and
1t was the same crowd that hustled out
this morning bright and early to see every
bit OF Omaha. The crowd certainly recup-
Grated rapidly or 1t drew heavily on the
reserve force
Not a man among all the visitors who ex-
pressed himself but who was satisfied with
the escort Of the king and by many It
was pronounced the best of all. That the
people were more numerous along the line
OF march than ever before seems to be
the general verdict.
The fact that Omaha was able to care
for such a multitude has been gratifying
to the visitors and those whose work kept
them up late Wednesday night say the
streets had been cleared of people at a
seasonable hour and apparently all found
places TO sleep. AT least there has been no
complaint so far heard, officially. Many
left the city after the parade and others
| remained, while the trains are bringing in
more. The military parade, which was
made a feature last year, has been as
good drawing card almost according to
many as the electrical pageant. Hundreds
who missed the parade of last night are
here to see Uncle Sans defenders,
The carnival has proven a great leveler
| and millionaire and poor man brush shout
ders on the carnival grounds and on the
| streets, all making up happy, care free
lot OF humanity. Among the visitors are
old and young. some who passed over
| Omaha when II was nothing more than a
village, and others are taking part In the
proceedings who have evidently seen the
light within the year. In fact the baby
carriages on the Kings Highway have
| been numerous, which attests the splendid
order that is being maintained and which
| speaks volumes for the good behavior Of
the common everyday people. With the
| carnival grounds so packed that II is i'm
possible 10 make Roadway against tho
crowds there has been no complaints o.
bad behavior.
Among the visitors who have just reached
the city is Dave Rowden. commander Of
the Soldiers home at Milford. Colone
Rowden was formerly superintendent o.
! the city hall under Mayor Dahlman, bu
followed Governor Shallenberger into ,
better but shorter Job When the mayo
| got the nomination for governor Colone
Rowden was stricken with illness and fol
a time Il looked as though he would hav,
to resign his place. But he hled himself {,

Its great; l tell you it's great" saiC
Colonel Dave. "D--n sight better thar
it's ever been before. and that's goinj
some" he said discussing the parade. Hi
friends are satisfied the colonel has recov
cred.
Judge Hollenbeck OF the Dodge count,
district is another Of the Wednesday ar
rivals Judge Hollenbeck has considera BIZ
advantage over the ordinary man thes,
times, Inasmuch as he stands head an
shoulders above the average person. II,
saw the entire parade and viewed criticall
every float And he did not have to stan
on a box 10 do IL.
After the parade II is the expectation o
the management that every person who 1
within the city viii visit the carniva
grounds. Several special stunts will be on
on In the various shows tonight, for il /,
the hope TO make this the banner nigh
so far. The Board OF Governors is wei
satisfied with the expressions OF apprecia
ton OF those who have visited the earni
val grounds. and the board is urging IN,
showmen 20 set up the best that Is in then
for tonight The response will be general
and every person who goes 70 the King
Highway will come away satisfied an,
happy.
