UOUGLAS COUNTY FA IK GROUNDS
A Most Desirable Location Se < ; nreil in
U'o.st Iiu\vn Addition.
Omaha is at last to have a fair H round com
mensurate in size and general plan with the
dignity aid ) prestige of the city The grounds
occupied by the Douglas county fair associa
tion and the Omaha Fair and Exposition us-
soeiatioii'buve been found too small for the
rapidlj- growing city , then ; being only thirty-
six acres in the plut , and efforts were nuido to
secure a larger location. This effort did not
result very favorably , J however , and it re
mained for private enterprise to supply what
was needed.
With this end In view nn association has
been formed in this city , which includes
within its membership nearly all of the most
prominent public-spirited men in this sec
tion. J. N. H. Patrick is one of the moving
spirits in the company and has done much to
make it a success.
The capital stock of the company has been
fixed at $250,000 , and is nearly all sub
scribed.
The grounds selected as a location is a plat
of 100 acres in section 23 , township 13 , range
12 , and options have been secured on enough
adjoining ground to enlarge the grounds to
include ' 100 acres. This land lies across tlio
"four mile circle , " being four miles in a
straight line from tlio postoftlco. It is
in what Is known .as West Lawn
addition , directly south of Leaven worth
street , being separated by that street from
the new park recently donated to the city by
Lyman Richardson and others. The ground
has been purchased and the contracts let for
building a substantial fence , a mile race
track and a grand stand. The work will lie
pushed as rapidly as possible and will l > e com
pleted in time for tlio fair of the Douglas
County Agricultural society , which will beheld
held at that place.
The ground is on the line of the Fremont ,
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railway and
within easy reach of thc > B. & M. , which in
tends putting in a switch. The Leuvemvorth
street cars run to within a short distance of
tbo grounds and will be extended to reach it.
Tlio boulevard , as contemplated , will pass
along the east side of the grounds , ami in fact
the location is the most desirable ono which
could bo secured In this vieity.
Plans have been perfected for erecting sub
stantial permanent buildings , much on the-
plan of the St. Louis opposition , and
u small lake will bo made In the southwest
corner of the grounds. A zoological garden
is also contemplated. Ono of the features of
the ground will bo a lirst class club Uouso ,
and the entire grounds will bo parked , so that
the place will lie a place op popular resort.
Tbo gentlemen who are interested In this
scheme are all of the highest standing , among
them boing.I. N' . H. Patrick , Lynuin Richard
son , Lewis RcHil , R. S. Berlin , J. J. Burns ,
W. J. Mount and about fifteen others.

giving him onlv partial cure. The mun's
inimo was learned from papers in

The people hero consider it tin outrage the
way the man was treated. Noono scorned to
know what to do , and yet everybody ad
mitted thnl something should bo done. Guests
at the hotel wore Indignant Unit an uneon ;
seious man should Ho fourteen hours without

Proper efforts to let his friends

The Well Known Omaha Clothing
Merchant Pn.SNcil A way.
M , Elgutter. the well known clothing
dealer of this city , died yesterday morning nt
his late residence , 1112 South Tenth street.
Ho had been ill for several months , but death
came Dually and almost painlessly at the end
of a long and successful career.
Morris Elgutter was born at Kompcr , Si
lesia , Germany , December 25 , 183-1. . Ho went
to California in 1852 and engaged in the whole
sale dry goods business , remaining in San
Francisco for many years. In that city he
was prominent in Masonic circles and
took an active part in the law-and-
order movements of those exciting times.
In 1804 lie removed to Salt Lake City ,
being one of the llrst among tlio Gentiles to
engage in mercantile pursuits while Brighnm
Young was at the height of his power.
Having come into possession of valuable
testimony implicating the Mormons in the
Mountain Meadow massacre , he forwarded
the same to the authorities at Washington
and was instrumental in corroborating the
evidence which led afterwards to the punish
ment of prominent Mormons for that awful
crime.
While a resident of Salt Lake city. Mr. El-
'
gutter helped to found Mount Mori'ah lodge ,
the oldest Masonic lodge in that city.
Having incurred the enmity of Brigham
Young , ho was obliged to dispose of his bus
iness interests and to leave Salt Lake City in
18 W ! . Later ho came to Omaha , where he
had live. ] during the twenty-three years pro
ceeding his death. Failing in health about
three years ago , he retired from active busi
ness , and lor the past two years bus been
a confirmed invalid.
Ho leaves a widow and one sou to mourn
his loss.
Mr. Elguttcr's death removes another old
settler from Omaha. It Ulso removes a man
who was well known and esteemed and in
who.se death many of the oldest and most
solidly established merchants miss n friend
whoso place cannot be supplied.
The lunerul will take place tomorrow at 2
p. in. from the residence of the deceased
above referred to. St. John's lodge , No. 25 ,
A. F. and A. M. , of winch the deceased was a

AKHcnildy ut Saratoga.
SUIATOUA , N. Y. May 24. The Presby
terian general usseihnly this morning adopted
without dissontion the vote plan for the ap
pointment of the revision committee.
After the report from the committee on
bills and overtures , Dr. McCosb , ex-president
of Princeton college , was introduced and re
ceived by the assemblage rising. He said that
he saw many of his children in the audience.
Many had expected this meeting would bo a
sort of a bear garden , and it was gratifying
that so far they were disappointed.
Kev. George D. Matthews , general secre
tary of the reformed alliance , formerly of this
country but now of England , gave an account
of the progress in Great Britain. Dr.
Kr.skine , chairman of the committee on the
method of revision , then reau Uo report of
his committee. It recommends that a com
mittee composed of one member of the assem
bly from each synod , to-wit , nineteen minis
ters and ten elders , bo appointed by
tlii ! moderator to nominate to this assembly a
committee consisting of llfteen ministers and
ten elders which shall bo called "the assem
bly committee on revision of the confession of
faith , " which committee when constituted by
the general assembly shall consider sugges
tions made by the presbyteries and formulate
to the general assembly of 1S91 such
alterations and amendments to the confession
of faith as in their judgment may bo deemed
desirable , and that this committee .shall not
propose any alterations or amendments that
will In any way impair the integrity of the
reformed or Calvinistio system of doctrine
taught in the confession of faith.
The report was adopted by a rising vote
unanimously. The moderator appointed n
nominating committee of nineteen ministers
and ten elders , naming Dr. William C.
Roberts , n member from Illinois , as chairman.
Tliis committee was called by its chairman
to meet at noon to nominate a permanent
committee. Their report will probably bo
given on Monday.
Dr. Kohcrts said the overtures of the
twenty-six presbyteries in favor of a new
concensus creed should bo referred to a com
mittee of nine who shall Invite co-operation
of the reformed bodies in preparing a
short , clear comprehensive statement of
the jioints in the west which all reformed
churches nro agreed not to ask u substitute
for , but to supplement to the "Westminster
conversion. It must contain the essentials of
the reformed faith and bo the basis of union
and co-operation hy all affiliated bodies , es-
peclallv In their work in foreign lands.
Dr. Herrick Johnson niudo some remarks in
opposition to and Dr. C. L. Thompson
strongly favored the construction of such ti
creed.
The motion , after much discussion as to its
scope unil effect , was passed by a largo ma
jority.
The committee on theological seminaries
made a report which told of progress In thir
teen institutions of the church and urged liberal -
oral aid of these schools which tire
training German mid colored ministers.
'Iho re.-ommondntions of the report were
adopted. Prof. McClelland of the German
throlngliiil school of Dubmiuo said the Prus-
bytorinn church was far behind till other
leading denominations in this country In UK
appreciation of the importance of the work
for Germans. The committees on mileage
and church unity made their reports.

Hon. T. K. Hoyil HCDIU-OM the lllouk to
Itnlhl thu Structure.
Negotiations for the site have iluully been
concluded and ex-Mayor Boyd will proceed
nt once to build a now theatre.
The deed In which General W. W. Lo\vo
transfers to htm IfW hy 88 feet of ground was
filed for record yesterday.
Said Mr. Boyd : "I am now In position testate
state that this enterprise Is far enough ad
vanced and In such condition as to insure its
ttpeedy consummation. We have been
negotiating a long tlmo on account
01 certain obstacles that had to be
overcome , but everything is all right now.1
Mr. Boyd went east last night , his mil-
sion having reference entirely to this matter.
An Inspection of certain houses In Now
York and elsewhere.It is my intention , "
lie asserted , -to erect an opera liouso fully In
accord with public demands , mid second to
none , J. M. McElfatrlcli , the archi
tect says ho will Insure mo as
complete , perfect and safe a structure as
there Is anywhere In this country. It will been
on the ground floor , prnctic.Uly lire proof ,
modern throughout , and arranged uftor the
most approved plans for comfort , convenience
and enjoyment. "
The location is considered an ndmlrahlo
ono. It was selected as the llrst considera
tion because of the depth obtained , though all
things , such as street carllnes , convenience to
hotels , present and prospective , population ,
ok1. , were taken Into consideration. The
drawings contemplate an cdlllco live stories
high , fronting eighty-eight feet wide on
Harnoy street and extending back along
Seventeenth u distance of IfW feet. Either
St. Louis pressed brick or brown stone , with
Iron and marble , are the materials to bo used
in Its construction. A grand entrance
twenty-live feet wide , two largo exit ! } and
stairways on either side from the balcony nro
considered sufllcient to prevent serious re
sults In case of any emergency that may
nrise.
As the plans ar3 now only In course Of
preparation and detailed specifications have
not been made , very little description except
in general terms can be given. The estimated
seating capacity , including paniuctte , dress
circle , gallery and boxes , is placed at 2OilU ,
or about four hundred more limn the
old house. The proposed interior ar
rangement Is somewhat similar , though
much more elegant. After { kissing
through nn imi > o.sing lobby , a space twenty-
llvo feet square , an elegant foyer llfteen feet
wide wide and fifty feet long intervenes be
tween this and the uudihulum. At each end
of the foyer there will boparlors ! and toilet
rooms for ladies and gentlemen. At the left
side of the main entrance Is to be situated the
box oIlicjLmanagers' public and private of
fices , also n ladles' waiting room. Provision
is made fora gentlemen's smoking room down
stairs.
Off the entrance to the right will ascend
n broad stairway leading to the balcony and
gallery , though it is proposed to hiu-o the
main balcony stairway at the left and imme
diately inside the doors to the foyer. All
stairways are to be of Iron , walled In with
brick , thus protecting them niriiinst overv
danger from fire. The stairway to the gal
lery will bo from the outside , nnd at tbo left
of the main entrance.
The next most imimrtiint feature to which
attention naturally reverts is thoslnirc. Ex
cept in dimensions , there is no occasion for
much variation from the standard. It will
have n proscenium opening four feet wider
than the present Boyd , ami a depth of lifty
feet. Tills gives ample space for a row ( if
dressing rooms on one side , for closets and nil
paraphernalia necessary to the perfect
equipment of a modern temple of
the Muse behind the footlights.
In addition , it is intended to have
dressing rooms underneath thostaw. These
apartments are expected to grciitlv surpass
those usually found in American playhouses ,
especially as to light and ventilation.
Furnishings , fixtures and decorations will
ho in keeping with the times. Much improve
ment may bo noticed also in thu mixes ,
as they are to bo modelled after
the latest and most approved styles. Ele
gance and taste combined will ho displayed
in selecting tlio heavy carpets , rich curtains
nnd all that sort of thing demanded for prop
erly dressing the foyer , the private parlors ,
hnvns. etc.
Inasmuch as the auditorium floor will be
laid on a sclid granolithic base , il must like
wise bo proof against lire.
The means of lighting will include fixtures
for both electricity and gas. In short , "the
now Boyd" will bo a strictly llrst class tem
ple of amusement.
In about two weeks , or as soon as bo re
turns home , Mr. Boyd will let contracts and
commence work. lie expects to have the
building completed anil ready to open by Au
gust 1 , 1801.
