Yesterday opened hazy but hnd not farad-
danced before the streets gave oviaonco of
inoro than wonted liveliness.
Tlio early trains sent hundreds of strnngo
faces along the walks and the dcstro to np-
year In sympatny with tlio occasion , early
liours brought active minds and hands to
work In the gorpcous decorations of the prin
cipal places of business.
As a consequence , Fnrnara street presented
n holiday nppcitranco which It never before
assumed. Don Bins street was not loss brilliant
and the aatno may bo aitld , In fact , of all the
cross Btroots In the business part of town.
Flags of nil sizes and Btrcnmors of various
colors , lu seine places intcmporscd with
flowers and cereals , wore used In hundreds
of different designs.
The urch on Tenth and Jucltsou streets ,
whlcli fall down Monday , was rc-orectou
yesterday. ,
Ycstcniay n number of the salesmen
who are to take part In the drummers' par-
rnlo to-day procured their hats nt 1'af-
rofto's , corner of Hurnoy and Eleventh
Btrcots. The tiles are of the latest stylonnd
the pattern is ono of the prettiest that has
over been used in n sill : hat.
There will bo between two anJ thrco hun
dred displays In the great pro
cession of to-day. Inoro is
but ono merchant who does not let
his right hunu friends know wlmt ho is
doing in the way of n display. For this
reason tha public may expect a series of
surprises.
The hotels arc filling up very rapidly. The
Millnnl , 1'axton , Murray , Barker , Windsor
und other registers show thrco and four
Illluil with arrivals during the day and
Enges
undrcds of pcoplo are cnrouto on all the
Incoming trains. However , tticsn
houses , as welt as the Merchants , Arcade
and others have madoprcparations , by tilling
all the space possibKTwtth cots , to accommo
date , several thousand people.

Dr.
' . ' . 'ho fair commoncodm earnest , yesterday.
The pales were opened at 8 o'clock ana in an
hour afterwards the grounds were ullvo with
pcoplo. They came from every direction nnd
in all concolvahlu kinds of conveyances. All
Dtrcct railways loading to the grounds were
crowded to their utmost capacity , while car-
rytillB und carls , carriages and lumber wag
ons wcro pressed into service to accommo
date sight-seers. It waa children's day und
the little ones took advantage of it. Thcro
wcro lully o,000 children present
nod the sights they failed to
sco were not on the grounds. The
llttlo follssdidn't pay much attention to Dr.
Taluiago's effort. They were seeing tne
"Sunny Side of Life" on their own account ,
nnd probably felt that even the learned
divine was incompetent , to instruct them ii.
the methods of enjoying themselves. If the
children were not interested in the appear
ance of the noted Brooklyn theologian and
orator , the older patrons of the lair were ,
nnd the Ilrst rush of the visitors was for the
ninpllhcatcr , in front of which a platform
had been erected for the speaker. The
crowd at the ticket oflices was as great if
not as boisterous as the ono that en
riched Foropaugh's ticket wagon , and
nn hour before the time for the
address the amphitheater was thronccd , an
audience of fully i,500 ) facing the speaker in
expectation , whilu belated visitors hung on
the steps and approaches to tbo speaker's
stand. Dr. Talraages was Into and tbo nudi-
cnco passed the watting hour in watching the
speeding of tbo racers lhat were being put
in trim for the sport of the afternoon. A
number of local divines were nresent on the
platform and gazed at the hlph stopping
thoroughbreds and apparently didn't care if
Dr. Tultnago failed lo arrlvo until after the
races.
It was 11 o'clock when Mr. Talmage ar
rived und Ills appearance wns grcatcd with n
burst of applause. There were present on
the platform during the address : Mayor
Broatch , Senator Manderson , Dr. Gco. L.
Miller , Rev. W. J. Harsha , Rev. A. It Thain ,
Kov. Dr. Kuhns , Kov. Dr. Lemon aud ex-
Governor Suundors.
President Mount , utter the arrival of the
Bpeakor uud party , signalled the jockeys , to
take the horses from the track , us they
would bo apt to interfere with tbo meeting.
This result was accomplished after each suc
cessive jockey hnd been caught and button-
baled and had the causa of the request ox-
plained. Tbo audience was crowing impa
tient by this time ana clamored for tbo
opening of the services. It was 11 o'clock
prompt when Mayor Broatch introduced Dr.
Talmugo , who announced us nls subject "Tho
Bunny Sldo of Life. " Dr. Talmago was
warmly welcomed and proceeded to deliver
ono of these unroportublo lectures that has
maao him famous as a platform orator.
"This is the acme of history , " said tlio
doctor. "It took nil the ages to
inako this minute possible. The world bo-
fltui with u garden nnd will end so. Tbo
scientists have been busy looking for our
origin , and the theologians uro puzzled over
our future , und all 'he consolation wo have
is tnn fact thut wo uro hero now. " Dr. Tal
mage said ha used to deliver profound lec
tures , but hn quit. Ills uudlonccs failed to
understand them , and ho didn't either. Ho
Buid that now ho simply talks encourage
ment and good cheer , and trios to say some
thing to make the burden of his fellow man
feel lighter. Religion is only sunshine , ana
the only difference between earthly and
heavenly sunshine is that the Ilrst is some
times beclouded , while the ether is always
bright and eternal.
The world , according to Dr. Tulmage , is
very much as wo make it. God mudo it ut
Ilrst. but every man. inndo it over again.
Show mo the color of his spectacles and I'll
toll you what kind of a world it is for him.
Groou spectacles , green world ; blue spocta-

God made It. This is a glorious world. The

and set it to a cheerful tuno. I gave $7 once-

rations. Round and round the promenade
the people went in ono continual stream , ex
amining , criticising and complimenting the
varlour exhibits.
Tha opening of the exposition was an un
qualified success.

Rnjiorintenilont McDonald Illnniclnss.
lleccntly Tun BEE printed iv report con
cerning the removal of Mr. McDonald , su
perintendent of Hnnscom parlc. The reason
for.such removal , as common report hud it ,
was that ho had permitted boor to bo sold ii
the park. A reporter applied to Dr. Miller ,
chairman of the park commission , for a veri
fication of the rumors. The doctor an
swered a number of questions on fie sub
ject , but volunteered no * information. Ho
says that a wrong construction had been put
upon the ronorts lhat hud reached the com
mission , und that Mr. McDonald was not re
moved by reason of alleged immoral prac
tices in remote parts of the park. In fact
the commission did not lormally consider
them in connection with the superintendent's
removal. Dr. Miller said ho hnd had no
knowledge of Irregular conduct In the park
house , and did not believe any of the reports
concerning it. "Wo huvo no fucts that
would in uny wise inculpate Mr. McDonuld , "
concluded the doctor.
The Grnntl Prerequisite of Vigor.
The dual operation of digestion and assimi
lation is the grand prerequisite of vigor. To
insiiro Iho conversion of food into rich nu
tritious blood , it is only necessary to use
with persistence nnd systematically Hostel-
tor's Stomach Bitters. The fountain head
of supnly in the nniinnt economy is Iho
stomanh. To rcguluto , lo invigorate that
organ , und thus facilitate its digestive and
assimilative processes , should bo the chlof
aim of these troubled with a deficit of sta
mina. Nervousness , insomnia , fcoblo nupo-
tile llieso are usually traceable to Impaired
digestion. Overcome this nml you of neces
sity dismiss its multifarious , perplexing and
hurr.issiug symptoms. The emaciated can
never hope to gain llesh so long as assimila
tion is imperfect , ' ' 'ho Bitters surmounts
tlio only obstacle to an Increase not only of
vigor , but of bodily substance. Conquer also
with the Bitters malaria , kidney and liver
complaint , constipation and rheumatic
trouble. Thoroughness characterizes its
affects.

"To show you that Trie BBC'S informant
was entirely wrong , if not malicious , " ho
said , ' 'it is a fact that my father was killed
in a coal miuo in Pennsylvania twonty-lbrco
years ago , and consequently 1 do
not sco what connection ho
could have with Omaha gamblers.
'As for myself , I have never received n
cent from a gambler , aud have never been
approached by ono. If a gambler had como
to mo and offered mo money as a bribe 1
would have arreUcd him at ono. I have
never mailo an advance to a gambler in the

douo so. "

"After the use of Aycr'a Pills for

BiiHtalning all thu claims iniidu for them. "

"Ayer's Tills nro the best medicine
known to mo for regulating the bowels ,
and for all diseases caused by a dis
ordered stomach and liver , I suffered
for over three years from headache. Indigestion -
digestion , and constipation. I had no
appetite and was weak and nervous
most of the time. Iy using three boxes
of Ayer's Tills , and nt the same time
dieting myself , I wns completely cured. "
