The Impression Is current In certain quartern tlmt the work of conntructlng the ImlldliiKt ! anil grounds of the Trannmlssls tlppl and International Kxposltlon In not procccdlriK ns rapidly an It should. People ivlio hold to tlil Impression point to the ( act that Inn little prepress sccnia to bo iraklnR nil the grounds and they argue from this premise that the whole matter Is dhag > pliiK nlung and that very little Is being done. I'lauslhle. H thin argument may teem It Is rrinneoiiii. While It Is true that , to the naked eye , the work Bcetns to drag , yet this In not the cane. This apparent paitnlox la explained by the fact that the whole work Is just at ilia l itago where It Is passing out of the clirjsulls state Into brilliant and force- fill Jlfc. Tilt ; apparent Inactivity has really been a condition- Inward exertion which tins wrought inarvcloimly and this will be apparent to every observer within a short time. The Vliolu' altuatlon as It now exists may be Htated In a very low words , hut llisy li tan much : The supervising architect ! ) were appointed In March of this year. In the Miort period of less than seven months tilt , arrmigcmt'tit of the ground has been decided 1 upon , the grading has all been completed , the lagoon has been Mulshed- and | g now be ing filled with water , the plans for all of the buildings on the main court have been com pleted and all save the Art building are under contract with bonds which guarantee the completion of all of them by February 1 next year. The magnitude of the work rep resented In this single sentence may not he grasped all at once , but Architect Uwlglu 1'crklns of Chicago , the architect for the Machinery und Electricity building , who was olllclally connected with the World's ) fair. Is authority- the statement that as much Ims been accomplished on the Transmlss.ssippl Kxposltlon li seven months as was accom plished on the World's fair In two yeais. .Mr. 1'erkiiiB explained that the preliminary u-ork of arranging the general disposition 01 the site and deciding upon the locution of the buildings usually consumes several months ; then the preparing of the ground , especially where any waterways are to he constructed , consumes several more months , after which the Mulshing of the building jilans uses up a few more months , ami thus the time slips away. Thin method has been avoided tu the case of the Trausmlsslsslppl Kxposltlon und all of the preliminaries have been disposed of without loss of time. GKAU1NG I'UACTICALLY CO.MI'LICTKU. The grading of the entire grounds has been practically completed. What little re mains to be done Is Insignificant In extent I mid U In such locations that It i'l : nut It' Interfere In any way with the progress ot the other work. The completion of the la goon was. in Itself , a task of no mean pro portion , but It Is finished and the water Irf now running Into It. Tiie Omaha Water company has generously offered to donate the wntor needed to Mil the great hole and a special line of pipe will he laid from onu of. the large mains to the point selected for lllllng the hike. Within the next thirty days the hgoou will 'be ' filled to the point where It will remain and it will be- kept full. Incidentally , It may be remarked that ono of the finest skating rinks In the world , ' will ho formed when Jack Krost louche. ? the turface of the water with his Icy fingers. The sewers for the entire grounds have been completed. With the exception of a very small portion of the work , these sewer systems are permanent and the surrounding property owners will derive substantial bene fit from this work. The sewers were de signed by the city engineering department and arc laid in the alleys where they will be accessible to property owners after the exposition - position Ifi over. Hy this thing alone the property ow ners In the vicinity of the ex position grounds escape taxation to the ex- tn'nt of about $12,000 , as the exposition man agement pays for the sewers. The pipe for the water system has ar rived and Contractor William Fitch has been ordered to commence at once the work qf laying It. His contract requires him to com plete the entire work within forty days from the time lie is ordered to procejd. This means the completion ot this work early \\i \ \ November. It will hr i = cen that the work on the ground Itself has advanced to a point where the building contractors will not be Inter fered with In the least by the contractors for the underground work. The conditions relating to the main build ings ore fully as favorable as those surrouml- Jng the other work. As has been stated here tofore , all of the buildings surrounding the lagoon are under contract and every one of them will be completed by February 1. next year , ready for Installation of the exhibits. TliH Kit'er statement Is u&rjreil by the fact that the contract fcr each building places limit on the time within which thc > building Is to he completed and the : provision Is sup ported by a bond for a substantial amount conditioned on the contractor carrying out the terms of his contract and completing the ivotk within the time spcclilcd. These bands , fire signed by Individuals or co orations whose financial standing has been rigidly In vestigated and found to bo iiniiucstloned. CONDITION OF UUIMMNQS. The following brief statement of the condi tion of cacli of the main buildings will throw additional light on this subject : Administration lluildlng The carpenter work on thU building was tut to Hrlggs & Ciishman of Omaha July S , to be completed within 120 days , or by November D.

The castIng - Ing of the stucco work tins been under way for eevcral weeks and the greater part of the net pieces have boon "oir.plcti'd. . The wnrlc has been going on rapidly on the building It- KC\ \ ( and an Idea may now bo rbtalned of the appearance of the completed building. Manufactures Building The contiact for the 'carpenter work on this building 'Wps exe cuted with It. C. Slrehlow of Omaha July 21. to ho completed within ninety days , or by Oc tober 1'J. Slrehlow bus been seriously liam- perod by delay In the receipt of his material , alil to ho due to the scarcity of cars In which to haul It from tlm forests. Ho Is making ' good hrntlway now , however , and the building ' Is rapidly assuming form. It is piobaliln that lie will overrun his time limit. The stuff nd plaster work was awarded to Smith & Km- jnan of Chicago , to bo completed November 4 , Ifnli-rii delayed by Htrehlow , this firm will complete Its contract within the time , much of the woik being already cast and In shape to put In portion.

The material has been ordered and Is said to be on the way. I'arrlsh has made a wager that the Liberal Arts building will be the first ono of the largo buildings to hi ; finished. The staff work has not been awarded. This completes alt of tho-largo main build ings which will face the lagoon end form the chain about the grand court , with the exception of the Art building. The plans for this will be completed this week and the building will be At once advertised. The Auditorium , which In to be erected at the southeast corner of the main court , with entrances from Sherman avenue and 1'lnkney street , will will be ready for bid ding by the middle of this week. Fisher & I-awrle of this city are making the plans and have them about completed. The Horticultural building plans have been completed and this building will be placed before the contractors for bids within a short time. This disposes of all of the principal build- Ingn and it will ho seen that all of the de lay has been In the Imagination of the min who thinks that the only kind of progress Is that whlh makes a great noise and bluster. In the opinion of those who sppnk from experience In exposition matters , the progress hau been truly remarkable and the work of erecting the buildings Is simply one of the finishing touches which ore to be put on. It will be seen by the above resume that all of the buildings will be completed by February 1. and this will give fully ninety days for the Installation of the exhibits. This Is regarded as a very wine margin by those familiar with mich matters. Hfiitnrlintili * Cure of Chronic I ) In ( Thorn.

Leon Herrmann made his Initial bow to Omaha people yesterday with a matinee and waning performance and there was some what of a curiosity to see just how he would compare with his deceased uncle , whoso many visits had made him a favorite here. They were given ample opportunity , for ho presented most of the tricks which had made his predecessor famous , and It Is hut fair to say they were performed Jifsl as deftly. There was , however , an unde- llnablo. something licking possibly It could he no better described than to say ho Is not the personal entertainer that his uncle was , not the adept In the little by-plays which set off and garnished the performance. No thing could bo more perfect and mystifying , however , than the feats of palming , which wore without exception the same that the older Herrmann had shown here and else where. Some beautiful light effects were shown In the dances of Adelaide Ilcrrmsnn. This part of the program has been materi ally Improved since the last visit of the company , and U would seem Impossible to conceive anything more beautiful In that line than the play of colored and varlagatcd lights thrown on the wealth of waving drap ery skilfully manipulated 'by Mrs. Herr mann.

DOUGLAS COUNTY PRODUCTS Remarknblo Exhibit in the Agriculture Building at thuStato Fair , DISPLAY PROVES A GREAT ATTRACTION Hotter Portion \oti-rcrlMlinliIr Shown Will lie I'l for nil Kxliltilt nt ( lie Kx- \ 'it Your. "Douglas county Is the Klondike of Ne braska , " remarked a hoary-headed , horny- handed agriculturist from the everglades of Uox Diitto county. That his assertion U gospel WES amply proven to all visitors at the State fair who filed through Agricul tural hall and Inspected the display of agri cultural products on exhibition from Doug las county. Collectively and Individually Douglas county's show this year exceeded In point of excellence anything yet at tempted by the husbandmen of the banner Nebraska county. The features of the dis play were : Corn , small grain , grasses , vegetables , seeds , melons , stall-fed pumpkins and triple jointed peanuts. Itarrltig thn father of the Infant that Was awarded first honors at the baby show , General Superintendent Walsh of the Doug las County Agricultural society was the proudest man on the grounds. The Douglas county exhibit was under his personal su pervision , and the visitors who strolled through the Douglas county section of Ag ricultural hall had thn pleasure of listening to practical talks mode .by the superin tendent on the subject : "Tho Ucneflts That Will Accrue to the Farmers from Scien tifically Tilling the Soil. " As the local as sociation , in a measure , Is under the con trol of the State fair management and holds Its fairs In conjunction , the Douglas county people are not permitted to compete for the premiums hungi up for county collective ex hibits. Individual exhibitors of Douglas county , however , are not barred from enter ing their stuff In the state fair. This year Superintendent Walsh was some what handicapped In the matter of opace In which to display the products of the county. Thrco hundred lineal feet , fir 3,000 square feet , was all the space Allotted to Dougl > in county. This cut up Into subdivisions for the twelve jireclncts gave to each about 3,000 'ilttare feet. The respective precinct stlpe"- ' Inten'dents , among whom a good-natured rivalry existed , were not sparing ot labor In attiactlvely arranging their exhibits and the f.'ults of their industry were apparent on evu.y hand. In view of securing a ouperior quality of exhibits to represent Douglas county ut the Transnilsslsslppl Exposition the Hoard of Directors ot the local fair asocla- tlon reserved the right to retain all articles In class S farm products drawing cash premiums. As a result Douglas county at the exposition will have an agricultural dis play that will bo mighty ha'd to beat. Kor showing the best collective exhibits precinct awards were made as follows : Waterloo , first. $75 ; Douglas , second , $50 ; Jefferson , third , $30 ; Chicago , fourth , $20 ; Klkhorn , fifth , $15 ; Florence , sixth. $10.

The Bnmuct ot the homeopathic physi cians Thursday night at , the Young Men's Christian association was the scene ot iptltc a touching Incident. The last toast of the * evening was , "Memphis , ' 78 ; Omaha , ' 37 , ' responded to by an Omaha physician , who said : "The last and most extended visitation of yellow fever which resulted In such great fatalities In the south , occurred In 1878. In the states of Louisiana , Tennessee and Mis sissippi there were over 1G.OOO victims. Ala bama , Kentucky , southern Ohio , Cairo , 111. , and St. Louis furnished another l.COO. "Couldill the Individual Instances of heroic self-sacrifice and unselfish devotion to the' cause of plague-stricken humanity bo enumerated , many names would be added to the list of worthies whom the world loves to honor. "Memphis was the center of this terrible death. More fatalities occurred there than at any other place. When the epidemic reached that city , and the people began to dlo by scores and hundreds , a meeting ot all the physicians of the city was cillcd. Sixty-five responded to the call. The physi cian selected for chairman rose and said ; " 'Gentlemen great crisis Is upon us. Our city Is plague stricken. We arc indeed In a veritable valley of death. I want to honestly confess to you that personally I fear the worst , and that I feel that to maun of us this will be the end of our career. 1 would give all that I am worth , had It been possible for me to have left Memphis with honor before we wcro engulfed In this maelstrom of horrors , but 10.000 fortunes would not tempt 1110 to leave this city now. This Is my post of duty. Like a cavalry charge Into a storm of death , so must we rhlo forth Into this pestilence. Many of tic-will fall , and God help us to die like men. ' FIRST ONE TO FALL. "With these noble words he Inspired the faltering hearts of his brothers. After the formation of plans , which filled every hour of the twenty-four hours ot the day with arduous. labors , the meeting adjourned and this iroole band of heroic men went forth to do and to die. Two weeks from that very day the brave chairman of this meeting suc cumbed to the black death. Fatigue cind constant exposure told heavily upon his brother physicians. One by ono they fell ut their posts and there was no thought as to which school they belonged. "From ' .May until November the weary rounds of death went on. The nights were hot and hideous with the fires of the burn. Ing couches of victims who left their beds of torture for the repose of shallow graves. Hy day the sickly sun struggled vainly tv. pierce the perpetual smoke which hunh. black and stilling , over the doomed city. Thcro was but one occupation In this prourt city , the care of the sick und dead. Si\ thousand people of .Mumphls died of the plague. One-third of our brave physician * gave up their lives. Six of them d.ed in one day. Only six out of the sixty-five re- luuliH'il unscathed by the pestilence. "All honor to that brave band of men. One of their number sits with us tonight. Three times has ho been called to pass through such scenes as 1 have described. Three times has ho responded faithfully to the call. Three years ho gave himself as well to the call of his country midst the scenes of carnage and Buffering of the civil war. Quiet , modest , unassuming , the public would never know from , him of the dangers and tolls through which he has passed. Ladles and gentlemen , fill your glasses with nature's nectar and let us drink to the health and long life of our veteran of war and plague , our honored brother , Dr. S. J. Qulnby. " Each party present rose quickly end the toast was drunk most heartily. The toastmaster - master turned to Dr. Qulnby , who , rising , attempted to respond , but ho was so sur prised and' touched by this unexpected trib ute of his brother physicians that emotion choked his words. Ho could only utter a few sentences , as the tears rolled down his face. The banquet closed with this ben ediction of fraternity , of love anil patlfs that touched all hearts and will linger long in the memory ot those present as a unique ending of a scene ot feasting and merry making.
