entertain the company by telling
stories illustrating the manner in which
Colonel Roosevelt had been received In
the west.
Reing a strong friend OF Mr.. Roose-
welt. the senator created much amuse-
ment by reciting in graphic language
how an opponent of the colonel mad
obtained a COPY of his speech recently
delivered at Osawatomie and then ac-
cidentally fell into the river snort
time afterward.
The colonel added to the entertain
ment by reviewing some of his African
experiences.
The failure of omaha to give the
colonel a noisy reception is accounted
for by a telegram sent to the recep-
tion committee by a member of the
Roosevelt party requesting that the
people Ego lightly" in welcoming him.
1t was explained that the strenuous
life he was leading could be leased
down with advantage. For this rea-
son the program arranged was revised
SO the colonel would have opportunity
to obtain rest. The events prepared
for his entertainment tonight were
curtailed so he would be able to retire
early.
