At 2:35 Wednesday afternoon the
Omaha boosting club" made UP of
n hundred men representing five in
terests, were pulled into the city from
the east, over the Milwaukee road.
The approach of the train was an
nounced by the blowing of the siren
whistle. and it served to bring out a
great many people to watch the
demonstration of the visitors.
A military band of. "a peces lead a
procession up Main street. and while
1t played gay music the boosters
rang miniature cow bells, which are
to ring for Omaha in the future.
The bells, along with many other
souvenirs were given to men, m
and children. 1t was the greatest
assortment of souvenirs any Of the
business delegations ever distributed
on a trip.
Reaching the middle of the BUSH

and had a few kind words to say
about Mitchell, and the surrounding
country, of which they had heard SO
much in one way and another.
1t developed from the remarks and
talks had with several representatives
in the party that the real reason for
this trip up through South Dakota
was to stir up railroad matters. The
Omaha business lei want direct con-
nection with South Dakota and they
say that this is the preliminary
movement toward getting the Milwau-
kee or Omaha roads to build into
their city a direct line. The greater
; majority of the people have
been in the state before and they
were struck with wonder and amaze
ment to see the amount of grain that
is still held by the farmers.
The train consists of nine steel
cars, and is equipped with a telephone
system, SO that while the train Is
standing at the depot connection can
be had with Omaha homes and busi-
ness houses. There is a complete
moving picture outfit on the train
and during the stay 800 feet Of films
were taken Of Mitchells streets,
which will be shown in the Black
Hills towns for the first time. These
South Dakota pictures will be dis
played through June to September
in the Ak-sar-benden in Omaha every
Monday night and later will be dis
played in towns around Omaha.

which are represented in the party
amount to $60,000,00
Will A. Campbell, one Of the en-
thusiastic boosters, accompanied the
party and stopped a short time In
the city. He spoke in high praises
of the manner in which the Milwau-
kee company had handled the special
train since they started on the trip.
Double header engines were put on
the train at every division point.
every town had been made IN time,
and the superintendent Of the var
ious divisions travel with the party
to insure the very best Of treatment.

thousand visitors who have come to
Chicago as q result OF the knights
Templar triennial conclave constitute
the advance guard OF the great in
tiuX due to begin Saturday and Sum
day.
Nearly every train arriving In the
city today from whatever point of the
compass carried its quota of conclave
visitors, and from this time forward
there will be a constant stream OF ar
rivals. Police regulations resulted in
the close watching OF every station
for suspicious characters who might
reach Chicago in anticipation OF
harvest of pocket-picking during the
great session. Police Information that
organized crooks intend to leave trains
at stations outside Chicago and reach
the city by circuitous routes resulted
today in the dispatch to all suburban
towns adjacent to Chicago of tele-
grams urging close cooperation with
the Chicago police in mailing suspi-
cious characters.
