trains headed for Lincoln. These trains
were no snide affairs either, for they
carried fourteen coaches each.
1t is estimated that 140 automobiles
filled with Omaha people made the trip
yesterday. Fear OF roads did not deter
many, for II turned out that this fear
was without foundation, as the roads
were in absolutely perfect condition.

the Commercial club had provided all
autoists with ribbons and pennants and
instructions to meet al the Lincoln

without labels, other than their fine ap-
pearance and their vocal boosting pro-
clivities.
Herman Peters big 30 with the ice box
on the rear was most popular with the
Omaha bunch.
dad" Weaver was little late in get

to ride In.
One of them ostpleasing features Of the
ride of the autoists was that all along
the way the road had been dragged,
starting early In the morning, so that
by the time the autoists came along. II
was like race course. Word had been
passed along the line and hundreds OF
teams had been put to work to make q
perfect highway for the Omaha tourists.
Some farmers along the way even had
out some decorations to make the oc-
casion more joyous.

under which 1t was rendered The offer
was that II Colonel Roosevelt would IN.
.duee the Missouri progressives to rsfraia
from putting full state ticket In the
field and would endorse the republican
candidates the support from republican
sources would be given.
Colonel Roosevelt received the offer
when he reached st. Louis He was
led to believe that If he accepted 1t some
of the most influential members of the
republican organization would support
his fight for the presidency. IT'S refusal
was made publicly when he was address
ing the st. Louis convention. but the
delegates did not know then the full sig
nificance OF his words.

nent republicans of Missouri" said Colo
mel Roosevelt today, 'in which they
said that they would support me II we
would not put state progressive ticket

should be named had been laid before
him, and that his advice was that q
complete ticket should be put In the field
He declared for full ticket except In
states In which either of the old party
organizations could be taken into the new
party.
Colonel Roosevelt's public declaration
was taken to mean that all chance of q
compromise In Missouri was ended and
that the progressive party would take uT
the fight with the republicans straight
down the line.
The colonel would give no opinion as tc
the position Of Governor Hadley in this
event. 1t is known, however, that he
does not regard the republican ticket and
platform In Missouri as thoroughly ir
accord with the ideas of the progressive
party and that he was actuated py tnis
belief in refusing a compromise.
Pleased with Cummins' start.
Colonel Roosevelt said he was much In
terested in the statement of Senator Cum
minis of Iowa that he would vote for th'
progressive national ticket, although ne
was not in sympathy with third part,
movement The colonel declined to bs
interview on the latter point but said thai
later in the day in making campaign
speeches in the senator's state he would
discuss 1t.
The days itinerary called for i've
speeches in Iowa at Mount Zion, Eldon
ottumwa, oskaloosa and Des Moines
Colonel Roosevelt will remain in Del
Moines for six hours. leaving at $50 .. m

DEATH OF HORSES IS
DUE TO PARASITE

BLOOMINGTON, Neb.. Sept. 4.-(Spe-
cial.)-A peculiar sickness Is attacking
the horses Of Franklin county. Assistant
State Veterinary Surgeon Haylman, who
has been attending tac cases, says that
the malady is due to eggs laid on the
grass and weeds which the animals eat.
These eggs hatch out In the stomachs of
the horses into little parasites resembling
the trichina sometimes found in pork.
These parasites rapidly eat large holes
in the intestines of the horse and cause
death, often in few hours. Over twenty
horses have died of the disease, the latest
reported being fine animal belonging
to C. E. Moffett of Bloomington, which
died after being sick about five days.
