GERMAN SINGERS GATHER
third Annual Festival of Song Opens with
Good Attendance ,
JOLLY COMMERS AT THE TURNHALLE
Vlltor * Cnrdlnlly Welcomed to the
City liy the Mayor and UoiiKrata-
Inted an Their Devotion to
Mimic by Editor Noack.
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.
The program for today will consist of a
grand concert at 8 p , m. In Turner hall.
There will bo a full orchestra and a long
program of musical numbers by the differ
ent societies. Hans Albert will act as
concertmelster and soloist , Mrs. Albert
Cahn as soprano soloist and H. Lutz ns
cornet soloist. The concert will be con
cluded with a ball. Tomorrow the festival
will be brought to n. close with a picnic
at Turner park , when there will be a con
cert by Stelnhauscr's orchestra and other
attractions.
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.

depending entirely on a healthy condition
of all the vital organs. If the liver Is in

look ; If your kidneys are affected , you beve
a pinched look. Secure good health , and
you will surely have good looks , "Electric
Bitters" Is a good alterative and tonic. Acts
directly on the stomach , liver and kidneys ,
purifies the blood , cures pimples , blotches
and bolls , and gives a gcod complexion.

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. The party Is quar
tered at the MHlard and will bo in the
city until tomorrow afternoon. Prominent
in the party is Hon. Peter White , president
of the First National hank , Marquette ,
Mich. , and ex-member of congress. State
Treasurer George A. Stcelo is also present ,

WOMEN TO ASSIST THE CLUB
Irlli-Amrrlean Expowltlnn OrKnnlmn-
tlon Form * im Anxlllary and
Plnn * an Entertainment.
The Irish-Americans met last night in
their rooms In the Barker block and formed
an auxiliary club of women. This new or
ganization Is exactly similar to the Irish-
American Exposition'club , except that it
will be under the supervision and control
of the one previously existing. Gxtenslvo
plans are being Uid for an Irish-American
j I day at the exposition. The exact date has
i not been decided upon as yet , but it will
] probably be some time during the month
of October. There are now 700 members
of the club from Omaha , South Omaha and
Council Bluffs. This does not include the
! 1 membership of the women's club just
formed.
, Letters have been written to the differ-
| I . ent societies all over the transmlsslsslppl
states and opinions In this way are be-
I Ing procured as to the most suitable day
for the great celebration. Temporary offi
cers were elected for the Women's club
| last night and President Walsh gave an
I address on what should be done in order
| to make tbo day a grand success.
Next Friday another meeting will be
called and the women will perfect their
organization and flnd out more fully what
they are to do as an auxiliary of the main
society. This club has large and commo
dious quarters on the top floor ot the Bar
ker block , easily reached at all hours of
the day by the elevator , and where reading
material and an information bureau supply
its members with every want. The object
of the society Is to show the city and the
expontlon to better advantage to the visit
ing Irish-Americans , not only of the state ,
but of all states. The women are expected
to entertain and act as a general recep
tion committee.
HE WORKED OFF BAD MONEY
Frank Dtniiccn Stick * a Pawnbroker
irltb 97O In TriiiieNee Scrip
DnrlnK the Day.
Frank Denuzzo , a bartender , was arrested
yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock , charged
with having passed two canceled Tennessee
scrip bills , one of the $50 denomination ,
the other of the $20 denomination , on
Pawnbroker Sol Brodkey , 1211 Douglas
street. Two women with Denuzzo at the
time of his arrest were also taken into
custody.
Denuzzo admitted having passed the bills ,
but in extenuation said he thought they
were genuine bills , He was turned over to
the federal authorities after he had been
thoroughly searched and questioned. The
women were released.
Denuzzo gave the bills to Benjamin Bred
key In payment for a loan of $57 the laiter
had given him on several articles of diamond
mend jewelry. Not suspecting tbo char
acter of the money Drodkey gave Denuzzo
his jewelry and $13 In change. After pass
ing the bills Denuzzo dropped from view
and could not be found until today. The
bills are almost exact representations of
the $50 bank note excepting that across
their face Is printed in big black letters
"State of Tennessee. " The notes are of an
Issue not now In circulation. They were
called In and canceled some time ago. Each
In the process of cancellation were mu
tilated by having two long holes punched
through them. In Denuzzo's bills these
boles have been skillfully pasted over with
pieces of genuine bank notes.

but Testard refused to return It Brown
had him arrested. Ball was refused Tes
tard and he was given the alternative of
spending a night in jail or refunding ( be
money. Ho chose the latter way out of
the trouble. The ticket was a genuinely
good Rock , Island ticket , as was proven by
a Rock Island official , but it was a con
tract ticket made out to another and signed
by the original purchaser.
