18Omaha Daily News NEBRASKA DAY AT CHICAGO. Indications that the Occasion Will Be an Interesting Feature of the Fair. CHICAGO, Ill., May 9.--[Special Telegram to THE BEE.]-- Complete details have not yet been perfected for the celebration of June 8, Nebraska day. Commissioner General Garner has already commenced preparations and for the past few days has been in Omaha with the perfect plans for a rejoicing such as will impress upon the representatives of every nation in Christendom, as well as Chicago, the fact that there is such a state as Nebraska adn that it can whoop things up at this Columbian exposition in real western style. Colonel Cody and his Wild West will be conspicuous participants in the fete. Major Burke, Buffalo Bill's general manager, told THE BEE'S correspondent this afternoon that he was going into the Nebraska celebration with a whole heart, and remarked that he felt certain the state day would be the day of all days during the whole fair season. The arrangments have been left to Mr. Garneau. As at present mapped out the plan is for the whole Wild West collection of riders from all parts of the world to act as an escort to Governor Crounse. There will be uniformed and mounted. It has not yet been so decided, but a parade from down town is contemplated. Colonel Cody has already begun advertising Nebraska day with big colored lighographs, showing himself mounted and escorted by a federal cavalryman bearing the United States flag, and a state trooed carrying the standard of Nebraska. IMPROVED RED MEN IN COUNCIL. Sixteenth Annual Illinois Convention Closes With a Banquet to the Visitors. Red men of high degree, chiefs of renown and promising "bucks" were in council yesterday at the wigwam, corner of Adams and Clark streets. It was the sixteenth annual convocation of the Illinois Improved Order of Red Men. The attendance was the largest and in many respects more distinguished than any previous one in the history of the order. The report of the treasurer showed the great council of the state to be in better condition than ever before. The state membership is 5,000 and the delegates composing yesterday's council represented seventy-five different state tribes. The increase in membership, finance and the general condition of the order since 1888 has been greater than during any similar period. Among the distinguished visitors were : Ex-Congressman Scott, of Bloomington; Representative Stringer, of Belleville; A. F. Heineman, of Bloomington, and Judge Higgins, of Chicago. William F. Cody, the grand sachem of Nebraska, the "Buffalo Bill of the world, was also there. He paid his respects to the council as a whole, fraternally grasped the hands of his fellow members and characteristically reffered to the days when the "noble red men" were less civilized and the "councils" were for a purpose foreign to that of yesterday. This evening the various degrees of the order as exemplified by the numerous Chicago degree teams will be held in the same wigwam. Thursday afternoon the visiting members of the order will be the guests of the Chicago tribes in a lake excursion. Friday evening Logan Tribe No. 47 will entertain the visitors at the West Chicago club, 50 Throop street, with a grand ball typical in its appointments of teh Order of Red Men.
