2 THE OaiAHA DAILY BEE ; THUBSDAY , . ffoHAllELUJAll I HALLELUJAH 1 Tor Omaha Rejoices Because of the Festi val's Success , THE "MESSIAH" FINELY SUNG. - . Tlio Second Day of tlio State .Sports men's Tournament Hoard of " " Xrado Corner-Stone bo- * - cnl Mutters. Imit The Juno festival opened last night nl tlio exposition buiitllujr , and the experi ment of our l-Xposilion association In endeavoring to arouse an appreciation of niiisip of the hielicst order was put to the tost. The piece for the opening was Handel's "Messiah. " It was , perhaps , an nmbltious undertaking , anil ono which 4 : might easily have daunted moro experi ' enced managers. Hut thu venture haa O' proven successful. The greatest work of tf the greatest master of oratorio , with all 4'Hi its beauty , depth of religious thought and Hi inspiring themes , lias boon rendered in a tt most acceplablo mannor. To this opinion , the audience last night gave It most forceful expression. Mr. Pratt , the tt director , the chorus and thn orchestra , may well bo satisfied with the result of their labors. a. Tlie Concert. At 8:25 : o'clock , the first note of tlio concert was sounded , the orchestra , in KA - its overture , which was feelingly ren A dered , meekly submitting to the annoy ance of late comers who inflicted every person with whom they came in contact. The first solo was that of the tonor. Mr. 11 K Hirschbacb , who was accepted instead of Mr. Charles Knorr , who had been prom ised. It was "Every Valley Shall bo Ex alted. " Mr. Hirsohbach's voice In many respects is sweet and agrccablo. It js one that has undergone considerable training , a nnd yet. one that is most grateful I In the middle notes. His opening was S- quite sali.sfactory.yct scarcely so pro nounced as had been expected. Mr. Win. Urodorick approached his air. "Hut Who May Abide the Day of Ills IIM ! - Coming , " witli the bearing ami confi M dence of the singer equal to the piece. His is a melodious , resonant bass , especially pleasing in the two upper registers , but lacking the volume in thu otF lower ones , which , from long association F seemed absolutely necessary to a most nt satisfactory rendition of tlie heavy work 13hi whlek devolves upon the ba s. In every hi other respect he gave unlimited satkiii.j- ( tl tion. His second and third numbers evoked enthusiastic appreciation , gi Miss Pierse's is n sweet voice of thou % u lighter order , most worthy of commenda tl tion in tlio higher range , and the other tltt extreme , yet scarcely so pleasing in the transition from ono to the other. She ttU sings with expression , and follows the U moro involved features of the score witli case and precision. She gradually grew ill in favor with the andipnco and did some U , very satisfactory work. lit ' Alias Huntington had the prestige of ft ' * in this . ftoi reputation already acquired city. oi Added to this was a voice of purity , sweetness , llexibilily , depth and power. It was a soulful voice , at times tearful with emotion , at others pleading and ten der in the expression ol devotional thought. Her every oflbrt was encored. Mine Fiii-scli Madi easily ruled as queen of the night. She was in excellent voice. . , g < The latter was ns pure and sweet as" Qmuhan over heard. It was full of v sympathy and emotion , and its lightest notes penetrated to the most distant parts ' of the building. That hush which only , | genius can cast upon a largo assembly * i ) , ' characterized the audience during her of- nt forts , nnd only the length of the pro \4.gr4unrao ' prevented n repetition of her of every number , " 1 Know That My Ho le ' * deomcr Liivcth" brought forth an irresis- W tiblo demand for repetition , and the do- Ju f niand of the audience had to bo grat- " iliod. - ft The chorus was a revelation. It went } ! , through'its ; work without a break. While m thi ) parts seemed at times to'bo improp- i"W crfy proportioned , as a whole , the effect was grand , oven inspiring. Its grandest work was in the "ILillolujah Chorus , " , - . which closed the entertainment in a man- 't tui1.lr ( ? which made everybody feel that the rtf undertaking wns a success. And so it . 'S tfwas. . The exposition building to-night W should contain 0,000 people. The "Hymn of Praise" will bo rendered. Tlio Hnll. The Exposition building , in the short 'time ' it has been in existence , has boon decorated in various ways. Money in liberal sums has been expended in its or- namcntatlon.-but nothing moro chaste or emblematic could have boon designed than the simplicity of the adornment which , last night , prevailed. Behind thu was the ling1 , of the nation , sym- ic of the country from all parts of which the people composing tlio attrac tions of the chorus wcro gathered. From ' fjilllarto pillar around the galL-ry , gracefully - fully fell festoons of evergreen in tlio ? ii'BWeop of which reposed n cluster ininhituro lings of the nations of tlio earth , Uoyond this , the beauty of e * the interior of the building was not di marred by a single article of tawdry [ adornment , and , in the light of the him- [ dreds of gas jets , the symmetrical and h v. , artistic proportions and design of the o i structure appeared to advantage , ti f The seats extended to the stage , tiIK ' divided by an aisle in the middle , with e ! ono on either side immediately beneath the outer edge of the gallery. Another nislo bi-socted t the auditorium affording each auditor Pready admission to the houso. j The beats were divided into sections A , J ) , C and D , each section containing a .s certain number of rows consecutively ' "iuumbored , and each row containing a fo t curtain number of chairs. The system. ' though simple , was yet n successful ono , especially with the competent - ' . potent young gentlemen who acted ; as ushois. A corps of these n , yftung men was employed both on the v .jlloor and in the gallery , and the result i , was the seating of the vast audlcuco " without the slightest annoyanco. r The Audience. h.ijtfT.hough { the performance commenced , ' t 8:25 : o'clock , it was 8:45 : before some of the people had taken their seats. With this exception , the audience was in every BOiiso a remarkable ono. It came from all parts of the city , and though bent upon appreciating a lirst-claas perform- unco for popular prices , it dis played not less taste in its dress than does tlio audience which , from long j , association , one has conio to look upon fens the peculiar tribute to arontne&s and genius , There wore representatives of every class and profession in tlio eager . . nttuiulanco , Indeed , so true was this especially of those in the higher walks B of life , that , as the vast number lilcd into thu auditorium , it would bo I " < | ! flicult to mention a well-known citi/on I 1 who could not have been found within e its midbt. a Ui/tThn ladles were particularly numerous , bright , beautiful and interesting , and , in n an indclinito variety of light and brco/y ITd summer venture , added a feature to the ITd picture which madu it uudesoribably d . .Attractive. n The mulitois wore not confined to people 21 ple from the city. They cumo front Mbroad , in goodly numbers , and thomtel- /Ugcnco which bflamod from their conn- r"Suances bespoke an appreciation of the undertaking which waa not ungrateful to behold , Council Bluffs was among tlio repre sented of the outlying districts. Her delegation was both numerous and intel ligent. Its presence was a source of pleasure to tlio management , them ore so , because , in the post , this city has not been altogether beyond indebtedness for mu sical entertainment to sonic of the gifted daughters to whom the citv across tlio Missouri has given birth. When the last loiterer had taken his place , -1,000 people had gathered in the vast auditorium. To expect that such a number of people in this , ono of the new est of our most recently settled states , would he able to appreciate nil the music rendered during the evening , would bo to give expression to something not easily susceptible of demonstration. And yet , ono could not otherwise than feel that , judging from appearances , those who did not cither appreciate or understand nil they heard , made laudable efforts to im prove the opportunity and convince the beholder that they wcro at least interested in all that was provided for their enter tainment. To soniu It was a heavy first lesson ; to others , it was a most grateful recreation. Between all , the cause of music and Intelligence was most happily subserved. The Ijiuly Principals. It was not unlll after Miss Hortonso Pierce had sung her air , "Rojolco greatly , O , daughter of Zion , " that Madam Fursch-Madt appeared upon tlio stage. Previously , the other ladies , Miss Htintington and Miss Pierce , had taken seals upon the lett of the director , and each , as she appeared , was tendered a kindly reception by both audience and chorus , which each , heartily and with smiles acknowledged. Both are pretty ladies. They arc young , In the prime of womanly pride nndjvigor , and each , in her own way , was moro or less rep resentative of that vocal culture which , slowly , yet steadily , is developing the natural vocal gifts which have been bestowed upon the maidens of this coun try. try.Miss Pierce is a proximate approach to the blonde. Her hair is of the lightest gold , her eyes large , lustrous , witching aml'kindly. Hnr features are regular , expressive and beautiful , suffused by a glow of health which neither the sea of laces , nor the glare of searching lights could pale , faho wore a heart-shaped. pale-blue satin dress en train , draped over the shoulders with Valen ciennes laco. which fell in pretty folds over her arms. Her gloves were long and approaching Jlesh pink , She followed every note upon her score , and , during the interludes , improved the opportunity to survey the audience. Miss Htintington was attired in a heavy cream satin flowered dress , decorated with chenille net with fringe below. Be tween the bars of the net hung satin cov ered balls of the same material , the net reaching to the bottom of each flounce. Tlio corsage was cut square , and from the belt hung a bright cardinal red plumed fan , suspended by a ribbon of the same color. Her diamonds were fash ioned in a sword hilt , which gleamed above the corsage , a gem , it is understood , she always wears m public , and which she dearly prizes. Mine. I'ursch-Madi was greeted with round after round of applause when she appeared. She was plainly , though richly attired in a white watered silk , en basque , full draped , with front trimmed with heavy lustrous beads. A simple diamond brooch flashed from her bosom , while her hands were encased in light brown gloves reaching to tlio elbow. Tlio.Pcrlormcrs. When Director S. G. Pratt took his stand hoTvns'llankcd.hyan orchestra of twelve first violins , eleven- second violins , seven violas , six violoncellos , seven bosses , three flutes , two oboes , two clar ionets , two fagotts , two cornets , live horns , three trombones , two trumpets , one bass tuba , ono timpany , ono /.ithcr , one kettle , ono snare and ono bass drum. In front of him sat the chorus com prising seventy sopranos , thirty-one tenors , forty basses and fifty altos. On his right , sat Mr. Hirschbach , the tenor , and Mr. Brodcrick. Each of these gentlemen was in evening costume. Each is of handsome presence and readily received attention from the audience. The orchestra wcro attired in dark suits , nnd occupied the front of the stage immediately bcnoath the eye and baton of the director. Behind them , rising tier above tier , rested the chorus. The tenors and basses , many in dress suits , occupied the south ern and northern sides of the sides re spectively , while between those parts wore the sopranos and altos. With but two exceptions , these ladies were attired like sweet girl graduates , the snowy purity of their garment * contrasting with sombre shade of tue gentlemen on either side. side.Thoro There was here , a union , mainly of Omaha and Chicago , though indirectly with all parts of the' country , and , indeed , with all parts of the world , because there is scarcely a nationality which had not a representative in that wonderful gather- inc. inc.Tho appearance of the whole was im posing and picturesque , especially when as ono , both instrumental ami vocal parts rose to join in tlio grand concerted pieces outlined in the score. In tlio same num ber of people , it would bo difiicult to find a more hnndsomo orintolligeritcollcction ot individuals. Among the ladies from abroad there were few who might not lay claim to per sonal charms , while among those who' represented our homo folks , it would indeed bo a task to dibcover where in nature had not been generous and grateful. The gentlemen secmod especially digni fied and bore thenibolveo throughout thu evening with the grace and intelligence which it is devoutly hoped may conduce tostill greater appreciation of the task of chorus singer.

[ Corre spondence of tlm)3i ) : . ] For sonic time past the farmers oi ) Ijftlocality ) have been casting longing ojes. toward the north and westward with'tluvhope ' of discover ing a cloud along thd'ljoriron that would give promise of rain ! . The dread of a drouth has hnppilynbeoi | dispelled , however - over , and anxloiw longings gratified by three copious sliowchs in the past week that liavo nssurcd-Ul6 corn crop and the consequent prosperity of the "arid belt , " nnd more especially of Hayes county. As I write tlio heavens nro obscured with heavy clouds that nro charged with moisture - turo that is liable at any moment to be precipitated on the v < sstarcas of corn nnd wheat throughout this region that are yearning for It. The development of this section in the past three months is marvelous. It is se riously to bo questioned whether any por- lionof the west can show as great an immigration - ' migration and permanent settlement as can Hayes county in the spring of 1880 , particularly that portion lying between the Hlackwood and Stlnklngwator. Cattlemen ami laud grabbers have stu diously endeavored to keep settlers out of this country , and In this despicable .scheme they have been aided by a few smith-fry settlers in their pay. ; My last letter to Iho BKK mis boon the 'means'of inviting marked attention to the coliiitry and has largely contributed to iUs settlement , while the writer has been in receipt of scores of letters from all parts of the country asking for more sjio- ' c\t\fs \ \ information , and 1 gladly avail of 'the opportunity to resort to tlio columns of the BKK as a means to say that there Is a vast amount of land'still open to gov ernment entry in nil sections of the county that is fully as productive and de sirable ns any that bus yet been taken U ] ) . _ It is quite trnc that about all the lands along the streams have been gobbled long ago by land grabbers , and that many very desirable quarters are covered up through chicanery by settlers who are paid to do this thing wy speculators and locators in and about McCook , Culbcrt- son and elsewhere. 1 tan not disposed to think that the land ollico oilicials nt McCook are parties to this detestable practice , especially as the register is looming up as a formidable candidate for secretary of state. 1 liavo taken the pains to ascertain that there is plenty of good land subject to homestead and pre emption entry in range ! M from town -1 northward to the limit of the McCook or Hitchcock laud district. This same ob- borvation will apply to ranges ! J5 and 80 , and I would suggest that land seekers consult these plats in the land ollice with out seeking the interested advice of pro fessional locators who hang about the MeCook land office , ( who demand an ex orbitant fee for a ypry dubious and un reliable service. , ; ' Several instances. lyive occurred bore under my own observation where land seekers have becn'locuted by professional swindles on Iandq.th.at have long since been taken , and others on quarters that are very different from what their entry papers cajl for. Iff. tjiu absence of any very specific corners ' 6T other markings it is very easy to difpeijjp the land seekers who are inexperjpncijd in the way of land ollico parasites , , ( iind , they ore con sequently often siiawn lands that are actually several iujlqi distant from the lands their papers fea-yy cull for. This state of afTuirs1/cin , / : ojily be rem edied by land seekiirSjpprain : ; direct into the country , and ascertain from settlers in Uiaiidmu.orhoRd1tUe. { Jqcation of va cant Jands' , MoSt , fsjjttlpr'know / their "OWfi lariiu'iimbers..aiuT ftfu > familiar with all vacant land near them , and , in most instances , will , give thp information ' gratis. , But little interest is being taken Jin pol itical matters hereabouts' , except in so far as Hon. Jim Laird's emissaries nro parading the excellencies of that eminent statesman before the unsophis ticated homesteader much to the detri ment of our senior senator. Hayes county , being a sort of tail to the Hitch cock and Dundy county kites , has but little influence in political matters , and will probably remain in the background so long as it is , as at present , controlled by a sort of land ring and townsite clique that has its headquarters m McCook and CulbortOn. "PKLHAM. " A Morning "Wedding. Frank A.

TORNADO STORIES. Ono Bioro nntcti of Trntlifiil Nnrrn- lives of Wild Storms. Atlanta Constitution : " 1 suppress names because I know the parties hate publicity , but thi truth of what I shall tell you can not bo doubted " Tlio tall man smiled nnd gently nodded. "A few years ngo"conlinucdtliodrum- mer , "a torna-lo rattled through the mountains in western Geoigia. It was n regular knoek-'em-out brce/.o and no mis take. It swept away trees and houses , and in some places it split big rocks into bits and ground'them into powder. It struck the house of a gentleman farmer , whileeverting its greatest force , but , strange to say , It did but slight Injury , it carried nwny one corner of the house , leaving the rest somewhat shattered , but still in the ring. In the corner that was carried away wns the parlor , and in the parlor was the farmer's daughter , who was deeply absorbed In playing the piano. The tornado yanked her and the tuneful instrument into a big oak tree and left them. "Them is nothing surprising in nil that. " said the tall man. "Perhaps not , my friend , replied the drummer , "but you should wait until I finish. About ilvo o'clock in the after noon the farmer , who was searching fern n few pieces of his daughter , stopped under the tree. 1 leave you to imagine his surprise , gentlemen , when , startled by the sound of n piano , ho glanced np among the limbs and behold Ins daughter sitting in a crotch , with the uninjured instrument lodged in front of her , calmly iilajing , "Blow gently , yo evening breezes.1 The tall man sighed. A red-haired horse-dealer from Ten nessee broke the silence. "Gentlemen , " he said , "I once lived in west Tennessee , near the Mississippi river a prettv good country for torna does iUclf. There was a man named Brown , who lived on the big road near Fort Pillow. Ho was well olV , and built for himself and family a handsome two- story brick house. About the time ho got it completed the road commissioners came along and chanced the big road seas as to make it run right along by his back gate , it made Brown mad. He'd stand at the front gale and swear by the hour. One day a tornado struck the lious-o and gave it a whirl. Broxvn thought his time had come , and began to pray , but , before he cot down to real work , the tornado passed , and he tound his house unhurt. But , gentlemen , when ho walked to the front door to take a look at the land scape , you maj take my best horse if he didn't iind the big road right where he wauled it. The tornado had lifted his hotihc and turned it around. " The tall man pretended to be asleep. The drummer shook hands with the horse dealer and ollered him a live-cent cigar. A wiry little fellow with side-whiskers , who said he was "a physician for the cure of diseased orbs , " cot up and stood in the aisle and took ofl his glasses. "Very interesting , gentlemen , " he said ; "the stories are very interesting. I liavo lived in a tornado country iiiys-elf. Colorado rado , gentlemen , is the country to which 1 allude. Tornadoes there , gecntlemen , sometimes play the the " "Devil. " suggested the horse dealer. "Quite correct , sir ; they sometimes play the old scratch. But occasionally gentle men , they accomplish a great deal of pood. A case in point gentlemen , with youi kind permission , 1 will rotate. A railroad was being constructed through the mountains , and of course ninny tun nels were necessary. It the spring of the year ten were begun at the Himo : time. About the time they were bored into tlio m6tintain some twenty feet , a tornado came along. Remarkable fact , gentle men , but it blew those tunnels straight through the mountains , thus saving to the railroad company a largo sum of money. " "Why don't you shaKC hands with him and give him a cigar * " said the tall man opening his eyes and looking at the drummer. The suggestion was accepted and acted upon. A man with a deep bass voice told the next story. "I am a lawyer , gentleman , and , in my younger dtivs , rode the circuit in the neigliboring'state of Alabama. You are aware that the state aforasaid is itself subject to the devastating influences of the tornado. In fact , were the tornado amenable to the lawmany of the citi/.cns of the state aforesaid could , through the courts , obtain from it heavy damages. "But these preliminary remarks are not to the point. Relative to < ho torpado , 1 remember an incident of its vagaries. A party of lawyers , I being one of tlio parly , desired to proceed to a town twenty miles distant to attend court. A picnic party had retained I mean Imd liirod all the horses aud vehicles in the town from which the party of laW3crs aforesaid desired to proceed , it was , therefore , necessary to walk or to miss tlio first day of court. While the party aforesaid was discussing the dilemma , a tornado suddenly pounced upon the town. It picked up the party aforesaid , nnd carried each of its members to the town where tlio court was to be held , without tt am aging either person or wear- ing-apparel. " The drummer rewarded the lawyer by nfj'cctiouatoly shaking hands with him. His supply ot cigar * was exhausted. A newspaper man , who was a member of the party , straightened up in his seat and modestly n.skcd permission to relate Ills tornado experience , it was unani- moubly and promptly granted. "A few years ago , gentleman.1" lie said , "four liars were on a- train bound for Atlanta. Somewhere in the neigh borhood of Allutootia n tornado over took the train. It blew through the cars leaving everybody untouched incept the fcur liurs. Those unfortunates , I re gret to say , it hurled into adjoining an comity , leaving their mangled remains scattered over a forty acre lot. " The tall man opened his eyes and screamed with .laughter. Tholdrummer forgot to shako luuids. The other fctory tellers went another ear. In another in stant the train was rushing on its way to Atlanta. If you buy lumber anywhere without first getting lloa lands prices you will lose money. EXPOSITION BUILDING THURSDAYEVENING , JUNE lOlh SECOND NIGHT OF THE GRAND JUNK TOIL ! MK. 0.

There scorns to have been no particular reason In keeping the eaily market so near tun put iiilco , but It stajed there \ciy naturally. The first news of the day was a soil of Mamt-olT between weakness and stiengtli , but the local temper was un questionably betilsh and the disposition of the news loaned a llttlo In this direction. Uecclpts were veiy much lighter than wcro anticipated , but , considering the quantities nlicady In sight , It may safely bo said that Iho balance will novel ho missed.
