Great Improvements have been made at the

at that visitors of last year scarcely know

the change.
The steamers were running , carrying full
loads of plcasuro seekers around the lake ,
while scores of row and sail boats carried
small parlies. The line breczo und the excel
lent stage of water made line sailing. Sev
eral handsome , little clippers have been
launched this spring , nnd sailing bids fair to
bo the rage at the lake this summer.
The hotel has been completely remodeled
nnd refurnished , and tno date of the opening
fixed for May 23. Since It has been moved
to the luke front the lawn has been Increased
by the addition of a couple of acres and the
whole has been sodded and covered witn
trees. Ornamental shrubbery has taken the
pluro of the old-fashioned sunflowers , and
the surroundings are pleasant and sightly.
Numerous improvements are under way on
the south side of the luko. The beach Is now
in the bunds of a stock company composed of
Omaha and South Omaha parties , chief of
whom Is Mayor Sloan. They purpose to ex
pend several thousand dollars In permanent
improvements. Piling has been driven for
the erection of a pavilion entirely surrounded
by water , which u 111 bo used for dancing , re
freshments , booths and boat landings.
The schutzenvoreln people are also making
extensive improvements In their property on
the north sldo of tbo lake and will have a
beautiful park for the summer amusements.
A ninety-foot bowline alloy was completed

On Investigation ho found thata window In
thn rear door of the building had been
broken out , and that through the hole thus
made the visitors had made their entrance. A
hole about largo enough to admit the Inser

nut Inside the hole imJ then Ignltud , thus ac

Inthootllco. The explosion had resulted In
the complete ruin of the sufo , which means u

The thieves failed to realize anything on
their expedition , as the safe had been emp
tied ot all Its valuables bcforu closing up
Saturday night , nnd the only tulng In It was
the number of thu safe combination. This

Broadway , said yesterday , speaking of the
bridge In connection with the proposed rapid
transit route , that the system when

Session Devoted to nn Old-
Fasliloned Covenanter's Meeting.
LOUISVILLE , Ky. , May 17. The delegates
to the Scotch-Irish congress tonight con
ducted an old-fashioned Covenantor's moot
ing at tuo Auditorium , the largest hall In the
city. An audlonco of , ' 1,000 was present nnd
many more were turned away. The lining
out of the hymn and the careful explanation
of the scriptural reading were the main char
acteristic features. The Rov. C. R. Hemp-
hill of the Warren Memorial church hero
presided , and the Rov. J. L. McNair
of Lovisvlllo lend the singing. There was
no instrumental music , but all Joined with a
hearty good will that hrougnt back tbo
earnostno&a of the old Scotch Presbyterian In
singing tbo 100th Psalm to the tuna of "Old
Hundred. " The Invocation was then made
by Rov. Dr. Bryson of Huntsvlllo , Ala. The
Rev. Stuart Atchison of Toronto read Acts
v. , 14-37. The twenty-third Psalm was sung
to the tune of "Martyrdom. " The text was
explained nt great length by Rov. J. S. Mo-
In tosh of Philadelphia. Prayer was offered
bv Rev. Woodsido , and Psalm 40 , to the tune
of ' "Arlington , " was followed by n sermon
by Rov. John Hall of Now York on
the "Prophesy of Jool. " A prayer by Rov.
Gcorgo Mi c'oskio , of Princeton , Psalm 08 ,
to the tune "Balerma , " and the benediction
closed the exercises , which would probably
have been tedious to all but for tholr novelty.
Dr. Hall's ' sermon received close attention.
Today the Presbyterian pulpits of the city
were occupied by Drs. Molntosh , Woodsido ,
Atchtson , Hall , Moclosklo , Thomas , Murphy
and Robert McElny , of Saintlleld , county

Kansas Crop'Outlook Good.
KANSAS CITY , Mo.Ma3'17. The Starsays :
The crop reports franc Kansas have been get
ting worse and worse every day for a week ,
nnd yesterday tboro were very few among
local grain mon who d oyjiot fool anxious over
the outlook. The torapqr of advices Is com
pletely changed today , xiSoaklng rains fell
last night and todayithroughout tbo wheat
belt. Telegrams frop , 'Lnrucd , Ilutohlnson ,
Attica , Topeka , ElUw'ot h , Salina , Abilene ,
McPherson , Great I/uxI ) / ) , Dolphos nnd In
dependence state thatgood rains fell , andi
ut some of these places it is stll
raining. The ruin Is moving eastward und It
is probabublo that bofuro tomorrow morning
the entire stuto of Kansas will have had a
good wetting down. The rain will do an
immense amount of good , but tboro Is some
question still ni to whether In some sections
the ravages of Insects have not gene too far
to bo completely overcome by favorable
weather. At any rate it now seems certain
that the state will ralso from 40,000,000 to
50.000,000 bushels of wheat.
NASHVII.I.E. Tonn. , May 17. Continued
dry weather Is seriously Interfering with the
crops in this section of Tennessee. The
growth of vegetation is at a standstill nnd
the prospect for cotton Is especially had.
