The third annual saengcrfcst , a festival of song to bo celebrated by the Nebraska Saengerbund during three days , was opened last night with a mixed program of ad dresses , songs and feasting. The occasion was called a "commors , " a form of enter tainment borrowed from German students , and was partaken in by the 150 musicians visiting from throughout the state and a large number of local German-Americans. There was an address of welcome by Mayor Sloores and the festival was formally opened by Theodore Slnhold , president of the Ne braska Saengorbund , and R. Noack , editor of the German Post-Tribune. There is a larger attendance present from towns in the state than had been expected and the following banners were hung on the walls by large delegations from each town : Schuyler iMaennerchor , Schuyler ; Germanla Gesangvercln , Stanton ; Gormanla Gesangvereln , Madison ; Maennerchor , Co lumbus ; Lledcrkranz , Grand Island , and Or pheus , Omaha. The delegations arrived dur ing yesterday and established themselves at the Colonado hotel. Turner hall had been prepared for their arrival with abundant decorations of greens and onk leaves. Out side of the entrance a covered walk had been erected decorated with garlands nnd legends of welcome which led to a bower also adorned with oak leaves , symbolic of German steadfastness and virility. Stelnhausor's orchestra opened the pro gram with a rendition of the "Poet and Peasant. " by Suppo. The overture was dons by the full orchestra of twenty-five pieces nnd the selection front the German opera was well received. Orpheus Singing society then greeted Its guests with the "Welcome Song , by Decker , and was followed by an opening address by Mayor Moores. The mayor was Introduced by President Sin- hold and delivered the keys of the city In a speech that was enthusiastically received. He said It had 'been ' his purpose to commit the welcoming address to memory iu tier- man like the other speakers of tbo even ing , but that had proved impracticable be cause of the f.ic-t that ho wan obliged also to prepare a welcome for a Bohemian so ciety , and ho was apprehensive of a con fusion of tongues. Although It Is the tweii. ty-sevcnth pair of keys which ho has deliv ered since the opening of tbo exposition , the mayor guaranteed the present pair to unbolt every lock In tbo city limits , nnd urged tbo visitors to make themselves at home. He praised the spirit of union for mutual K ° oil shown Iu such organization as the saengerbund and the turnvereln nnd expressed the opinion that they were pro ductive of good American citizenship. The singers appreciated the cordiality of the greeting and acknowledged it with three vigorous cheers for the mayor. Wrlronifil by Kdltur Nonck. A short Interval followed , during which there was music by the united societies with the orchestra , and the mayor and other guests were Invited to partake of the na tional beverage. The "Festrcdung , " or ban quet address , was then delivered by R , Noack of the German Post-Tribune. Mr. Noack gave a historical sketch of the de i. velopment of music through the Greeks , Italians and finally the Germans. He do- scribed the custom of the Greeks of holding a quadrennial festival in * Olympla. Their music was shown to be the basis of the modern system of harmony and the value of their compositions In its later effects was Dointed out. The contributions of Italian composers were spoken of and the speaker passed on to the accomplishments of Germany in musical lines. The credit of starting a love for music In the hearts of Germans was given to Martin Luther , whose choral songs had a marked effect upon the national taste. Beethoven , Gluck and Mo zart were then given acknowledgment , and their careers were considered In their ef fect upon the musical progression of the nation. Mr. Noack also spoke Interestingly of German folk songs , which ho said are a valuable index of the national character. They are. a spontaneous outburst from the heart of the people , and crystallzed what Is best in the national life. Ho urged the singers to give adequate attention to music of that character which forms a strong tie between them nnd the fatherland. The remainder of the program was occu pied by the visiting societies , whose ren ditions all revealed careful training and good voice material. The "Wine March , " by the Grand Island Lledcrkranz , was well done , ns were also the selections of the Schuyler , Madison , Stanton and Columbus societies. The orchestra , under Prof. SteinI hauser , gave a number of enjoyable num bers , nnd Messrs. Senga and Detterbeck sang a comic duet with good effect. .After the program refreshments were served from four long tables , with Prof. Charles Peterson as toastmaster at the head. Others who were In charge of the even- Ing's entertainment were : R. Strehlow , M. Felermann , Charles Flnkler and A. C. Drelbus and George Helmrod , officers of the organization , as well as the following re ception committee : J. Vollmer , F. Kleuke , F. Werner , J. Geusele and F. Blllle. Pinna for the Felt.

INTERRUPTS THEIR SUPPER Fire Interfere * with the KvenliiK Meal of the Ourt * nt the Victoria Hotel. During the supper hour nt tbo Victoria hotel last nlsht , v.'hcn the dining room was crowded with guests , fire broke out between the ceiling of the top floor nnd the roof of the building. From a point near the chim ney the fire ate Its way to the air shaft and In n short time tbo shaft was ablaze its full length. The dense smoke found Its way thiough the shaft to the kitchen and din ing room and In an Instant there was the wildest kind of confusion among the guests. A great many made frantic efforts to get into their rooms to save their valuables , but were driven back by the dense smoke that filled every floor. When Engine company No. 1 arrived a perfect dclugo of water was thrown on the lire. It was drowned out and the hallways were drenched , considerable damage being done to carpets and wall paper. The water found Its way through the shaft Into the kitchen nnd for a short time everything was iilloat. The damage o the building Is es timated nt $150. A defect In the chimney that allowed the outlet of sparks Is the sup posed cause of the fire. While the firemen were battling with the fire i n alarm was turned In from the Tro- cadero. The alarm proved to be false.

SOUTHSIDERSM3REAT SCHEME Movement Set Afoot to Secure the Minnesota State BallilliiK for River-view Park. The purchase of the Minnesota state build ing at the exposition by the South Side Im provement club of this city and its removal with all its tasty furnishings to Rlvcrvlew park , are matters now under serious con sideration. The subject has been quietly discussed among a number of the citizens of the First and Second wards for several weeks , but the movement found Us official expres sion at the meeting of the South Side Im provement club , nt Tenth nnd Hickory streets , last evening. At that time the fol lowing resolutions were introduced by Dr. W. H. Hanchett and 'unanimously carried : Bo It resolved by the South Side Im provement club , That , whereas , Rlvervlew park , although tbo most beautiful park in the city , has no place for shelter in case of storm ; and Whereas , The Minnesota building , one of the most unique , picturesque and substan tial buildings on the exposition grounds , is < well adapted architecturally to the natural forest and overhanging bluffs of Rlvcrview , park ; end I Whereas , There Is no money In the park funds of the city of Omaha that can be used for tbo purpose of providing a pavilion In Rlvervlew park ; therefore be it Resolved , That E. J. Cornish , Ernest Stuht and John Powers be appointed a com mittee to ascertain upon what terms said building can be acquired and the cost of removing the same to Rlvcrvlew park ; and that If the expense Is not found too great this club will undertake to raise a fund for the purpose by voluntary contributions of Its members and public-spirited citizens. There was a large attendance at the meetIng - Ing , which was presided over by the pres ident of the club , John Powers. Consider able discussion of ways and means of se curing the building followed the Introduction of the resolution. It was the sense of all present that the removal of the Minnesota state building to the park overlooking the ! river was a great desideratum and It was , determined with much enthusiasm to leave no stone unturned to secure the attractive llttlo cottage.

REORGANIZE FIRST WARD CLUB Yonna : Republican * Get ToRCthcr and Elect Officer * for the Revived Institution. New life was given the Young Men's Republican club of the First ward last night by a complete reorganization. A good crawd assembled at Third and Hickory streets and elected officers , afterwards listening to some timely republican doctrine from A. W. Jcfferls , one of the aspirants to the county attorneyshlp , and ex-Representative John II. Butler , the latter of whom called the meetIng - Ing together as temporary chairman. It was decided to meet again at B. & M. hall , Fourth and Pine streets , next Friday night. The new officers chosen were : R. K. Paxton - ton , president ; Henry Morrison , vice presi dent ; Clyde C. Sundblad , secretary , and Samuel W. Scott , treasurer. An executive committee of three is to be chosen at the next meeting. In his talk Mr. Jefferls said be was glad to see so much activity among the repub licans of the different wards , as it showed that the republicans of Omaha have re- solved on an active and aggressive cam- patgn. "Tho republican party , " said he , "baa always been the party of progressive ideas and we ought to bo proud of it. It has always shaped the destinies of the na tion. It went before the people in the last campaign for sound money , a protective tariff and the reciprocity of James G. Blalne and it has given these lines of policy to the country with the result that there Is business activity everywhere , the fallacies of free trade have been exposed and the credit of the nation has been once again established. Before this the balance of trade was against us , now it is $200,000,000 in our favor and we no longer bear of any other standard of money. Further than this the republican party has shown Itself willing and able to lift up humanity to a broader freedom In the Cuban war , In splendid keeping with its record In the civil war , when it freed 4,000,000 slaves. Mr. McKinley should certainly be supported by a republican congress. " He made a strong plea for the state ticket , remarking : "Wo should all rally around the republican standard and this year place the state of Nebraska where she be longs in the republicans column. " Mr. But ler eulogized each candidate on the state ticket. He did not forget that he had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Murphy , the can didate for lieutenant governor , during the short time he ( Butler ) had been permitted by tbo populists to occupy a seat in the legislature and that Mr. Murphy bad put up a good fight for the Douglas countyrcpre- _ _ sentatlves. Judge Hayward he bad known for thirty years. It was announced that an auxiliary to the Laboring Men's Republican club would be organized in South Omaha Wednesday night. Some members of the reorganized club nre making arrangements for a dance at Grandvlcw hall , Third and Pine streets , for Saturday evening , September 10. How to Look Goad.

BANKERS COMING TO OMAHA Delegates to the Denver Convention Will Stop Here Both Ways , DETROIT MEMBERS CAME LAST EVENING Uncertalntlty a * to IViinihcr * Defeat * Any Kflort nt Formal Entertain ment , but an Omaha I'ontlnde In Being Planned. The city is In a fair way of being overrun - run during the next few days with bankers. This Is occasioned by the annual convention of the American Bankers' association , which will bo held In Denver next Tuesday , Wednesday - nesday and Thursday. The first party to arrive reached Omaha last evening from Detroit , nnd will be composed of nlne teen , Including bank officers , their wives nnd daughters. They will remain in Omaha for a couple of days to visit the exposition before continuing their Journey west. The Illinois party , which will probably be the largest organized body to. pass through the city , will arrive Sunday morning over the j ( Burlington , occupying three or four special j j cars. It will spend the rest of the day ; and part of Monday In looking over the exposition. Other bankers , in smaller par ties , have been going thrcugb for several days , while many others will come this way on their return -trip. Most of the Omaha banks will be repre sented at the convention. Luther Drake will represent the Merchants' National ; H. W. Vales nnd wife will go from the Ne braska National ; V. B. Caldwcll of the United States National Is already In Colorado rado , where he accompanied Mrs. Caldwell several days ago on a trip for her health , and they will bo in Denover next week ; W. W. Marsh of the Union National will go , as will also J. H. Evans and wife of the National Bank of Commerce. The First and Omaha National banks do not at this time expect to be represented , and If the Commercial National Is represented It will bo by Alfred MHlard , who has not yet decided upon going. The local bankers had planned for a for mal entertainment of their friends from abroad upon their return from the conven tion , but the impossibility of learning how many would stop hero on the way cast made the effort too uncertain in its promise of successful issue , and it was abandoned. Should any considerable number of them stop over on their return , it is possible some informal reception may be arranged for them. A party of twelve of the leading bankers of Michigan , arrmnpnnlrd hy their wives , arrived in Omaha on tl > Northwestern Colorado rado saeclnl at midnight lost night to visit the exposition en route to the bankers' con vention in Denver next week. They traveled In a snecial cur In charge of A. J. Rnt- cllfi'e , Mlchlcan passenger agent for the Union Pacific railroad.
