8 THE OMAHA DAILY JVEE'MONDAY , JUNE 14 , 1807. GROUNDS ASSUMING SHAPE Preliminary Work Toward Building the Exposition is About Completed , ADMINISTRATION ARCH ERECTED FIRST 3iitnl riiie Arclillcul I'lrU-li Submits ItlH l > litii < i tor I'nrUliiK < !

The preliminary work of making ready the Rround upon which IB to bo erected the city for the Trannmlinlsslppl and Interna tional Exposition is nearly completed and thtro will noon bo tangible evidence that work ifl being done to prcpirc for the great- en cxpralllon , wave ono , which has been In Id on till * continent. Up to this time a wonderful amount of wotk 1ms been done , but It has been of filch a character that it do s not make much of a showing on the fciirfac- . The extent of It lo best Illustrated by the statement that Omaha ! IB accom plished In thrto months what Chicago was more than n year In doing. The work has tiov , rcarhfd a point where much of that to bo done will make such a showing the effect will lie c ntinually apparent. The gretcvt attention up lo till ? time has been bnUoweil upon the main court of the exposition' ' that portion which will occupy the KounUc ground. The other two sec- lions of Ihc grounds will not be treated to ( taboratcly o the main cntirt and Ices time will be icqulrcd for deciding upon the ar rangement of tlie ground ! ) and the buildings to b ° erected thereon. The work on the main court tins progressed rapidly and the ground will bo ready for the election ot the lingo buildings by the tlmo the working diawlngs arc completed. The chuacter of the buildings to bo erected will be iiucli that vtry llttlo foundation will bo required and the work of levelling the giound maj as well bo done before the work of building commonces. The buildings will bo of wood covered with ftaff , and will bo compatatlvoly light In wt'lght , so tlut hea\y foundatlona will not be required. The buildings will be well braced , however , so that there will be no danger of collaico. GIIAUING AI10UT COMPLETED. The grading Is nearly completed. The Irvolllng up pioces3 has been accomplished by using the earth removed from the Ingoon. This liignon IB about completed. Over 80,000 yard , of earth have been removed and the work may be completed almost at will. The s , ' wcr which Is to ojrve for draining tlie lag on and alfco aupply a powcragc outlet for the mniller Kcwera from the main build- Ings. Is being tapldly constructed. The temporary sanitary sewers' along the north mid Bonth . "Ides of the Kountzo tract will require but llttlo time for their cotii'tructlou ' iin-l when thlh is done the work ot erecting the bnlldlnga may proceed without Interrup tion from thin bourco. The arlcr.lan well la down more than COO feet and the contractor expects to strike a heavy How of water nt any time. A Mow which rises within 100 feet of the surface was struck several days ago , but there are indications that a flow of great volume will be struck soon. The working drawings for the Administra tion arch , the first building which will be erected , arc all ready and an advertisement for bids will be ordered at once. The work of m.iklm ; the working drawings for the large main buildings is well under way and these will bo completed same time this month at which time bids will be asked for. The woik of grading the approach to the grand viaduct , which is to span Sixteenth slieet at the middle of the oust end of the Kuuntzc tract , is about completed , and the drawings for th's ' structur- are Will advanced. GOVERNMENT AUTHOHITIES SLOW. The only thing that remains undecided regarding the main court Is the Government building and auditorium. The government authorities are proceeding In the most leis urely manner , and seem to have made no move toward beginning on the design for the Government building. The question whether the Entertainment building shall be an audi torium or a spcctatorlmn Is still undecided. Tills delay Is caused ] ) y a hitch between the Department ot Conccbsions and a theatrical manager , who says ho wanta to enter Into a contract for tlie privilege of operating a spectacular entertainment on the grounds , but who has not yet compiled with the re quirements of thu department. If this deal Is not closed the building will take the form of nn nudltoilum for music recitals , con gresses , etc. Until this matter is decided Fisher & Laurie the architects for thla build ing , cannot make any headway with their drawings , as the character of an auditorium Is radically different from that of a specta- torlum. A plan for the arrangement of the bluff tract hab been prepared by Hudolph Ulrlch , the landscape architect , and submitted to the executive committee for approval. The committre will discuss the plan at a meet ing to be held early thla week. The plan made by Mr. Ulrlch provides for elaborate pnrMnx for this tract , the purpose being to make this portion of' the giound a resting place and pleabiire ground. It Is probable that the horticulture , fisheries , dairy and apiary will be located on this tract. On the upper portion of the bluff tract , and extending acicuw Sherman avenue through the -.c iithern portion of thr north tract , will be th $ Plalsnuce. JudRliiK from Indications , this portion of the TiausmUslBMppl 'Exposition will surpass In quality anil quantity anything of the kind seen In this country. It being n question nt this time whether It will not be even superior to the World's fair in this lespcct. Applications for concessions In this department of the expedition have been re ceived In largo numbeiK by the Department of Concessions , the majority being from respon sible parties , who arc able to fnniUh a de- tlnible entertainment. The Department of Exhibits hau made re markable progress , and u large number of nppllcatloim for space are being received dally from all parts ot the country. There IH every Indication that before the construc tion of the main buildings In commenced arrangements will have to be made for building - ing extensions to the buildings In older to uccommodutu the exhibits.

MUST THINK FOR OURSELVES Too Much Tima Cpent on Elementary Study of Religion , BUILD HIGHER THAN THE FOUNDATION Dr. IMunnl i\-crcU llnlo 1'reiivlien lit lo ! } < r.N TlicntiT mi flic Teiiilctit- ! to ClliiK Tuo > , To OIILIdea. . Dr. Kdward K-vcrctt Hale of lUoslon and llov. Newton M. Mann , minister of the First Unitarian church of thla city , exchanged pulpily yesterday. The services of the Omaha church were held In Uoyd's opera houoc to accommodate the largo congregation at tracted by the announcement that the emi nent New Uiiglander would preach. The parquet , the parquet circle and the balcony of the large auditorium ncro well filled be fore the opeivlng of the morning's services , whllo a number of the church folk found scats on the stage. The large audience wan a representative one , Including many promi nent citizens and numerous members of other chuichcs. The front of the houao waa appropriately decorated with potted plants. The music wn.s under the direction ot Homer Mooie , and Included n well rendered solo by him , "There la a Green Hill Far Away. " "Tho Itcllgion of Todhy1' wts the subject of Dr. Halo's sermon , his text being from the epistle to the Hebrews and reading as follows. "Lot us ccasii to speak of the llrst principles of Christ , and go on to perfection. " The Import of the ueimon wna that en tirely too much stress was placed upon 'he elementary principles , the doctrines , the foundations of religion , whllo the Mgher principles , the acts clos'.st to perfection it self , the religious ( superstructure , were too Httlo accentuated In the religion of today. This conclusion was pieccded by a meat logical and opportune parable , Illustrating the fact that education , In the broadest sense o the term , did not stop at the mastery of the elementary branches. Dr. Hale- said that a friend of his , a mem ber of another denomination , had not long since remarked to him that while other de nominations appeared to be the kinder garten of religion , the Unitarian church was engaged In teaching the advanced classes. Whllo the laying on of hands , faith In God , eternal Judgment , and other doctrinal sub jects constituted the foundation of religion , they were to be regarded , Dr. Hale- said , aa merely the foundation on which the super structure of religion might be built. U waa a fact that nine-tenths of the religious teach ers , the religious politicians of today con tinue to build the foundations and teach them alone. LIFB SPENT IN LEARNING. "A boy or girl , " ho continued , "la sent to school with the realization that the teacher Is In full command. The pupil's education begins when lie is born and continues until he dies. Juat because much time is spant In learning the multiplication , table and the greatest common dlvlror the fact la not to bo taken as a reason that the pupil should always keep on cludylng and talking of thcs2 thln fl. Americans are properly proud of their primary school system , In which 15,000,000 of bojrs and girls aic educated each year nt a co.il of between $1,000,000 and $2,000.000 , but such education Is only the foundation work. "If the people of America know only how to read and how to write , then America Is going to ruin , and ought to go to rula. If a sovereign can cnly reid and write , and add and subtract , then his kingdom is go ing to ruin. In America the people are toverolgu. The government of this country haa given a splendid foundation of educa tion in Its elemcutary Instruction. Seven- eighths or the boys and girls of America , or mora than 10,000,000 , close their account with the public education when they have completed the period of elementary Instruc tion , with the boy , when ho is about 13 ycats old , with the girl , somewhat older. The people of America are fortunate In that they have their education in their own handy. John Adams had hoped for the tlmo when every voter might have a liberal edu cation. I thank God that that tlmo ia com ing very fast. "A sovereign , first of all , needs to know the history of his own land. He must know enough of God's work to understand the men who are most familiar with it. Jle must know the language of his own land. Ho must know the difference between a great man and a llttlo man , between a great en terprise and a little enterprise. Ho must know his own people. Tlii.3 Is a liberal edu cation. Ho mu't not necessarily bo familiar with Frcnchv or German , or Greek , or Latin. . . PREPARE FOR PRESENT DUTY. "A liberal education is what fits me for the duty of my own time and giveo mo abil ity to understand the best men of ray own time. I mubt know also the history ot my own city , of my own commonwealth , and especially of my own country. I must get hold of the real life of the people around me. This Is a liberal education for a prince ; It Is a liberal education , for the sovereign people of America. It will be obtained In this country when each Individual works out for himself the problems of life. Thank God , the majority of the American people come up to that measure now. "Thla parable la not too long If It shows how the name men and women should con duct thvnwlvta la their rcllsrious life. Tin ? child find the father are one , and the child may como to the father at any time and ask of him what ho will. The Father wants the people to educate themselves. We are to trace the ways of Gsd with man for our- Hclvcrt. As the American thinks of the Cuban and other International questions for himpclf , so should we think out for our selves the moro Important problems of re ligious life. We must come to God with our own prayer. Wo must determine for oursulvcoi how close wo are to God and how close God In to us. It Is proper to teach arithmetic to our boys and girls , but wo must not expect them to spend two liouru a day ever after that In adding units. Doc- trlno may bo written In books. It may be repeated verbally from memory. Hut reli gion Is llfo with God. It grows without any teacher. In thld religious education great God Is the director. The teachers , the parents , liavo lurtructed In the ele mentary principles , but It Is for each to see that ho builds for himself a round euper- btrurfure. " I'AMCS TO Till : MIIIMtAI , AI.I.IANCH. IO\illliiiN | lilt * AVorUliiKN of ( lie- til ( ( if IjiiNl. The Liberal Alliance of the Flrat Uni tarian church waa addrefscd by Dr. Hilo at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Omaha alliance Is still an Infant organization and Dr. Halo's talk was designed to bo a prac tical exposition of the workings of the older organizations that would serve to direct the local alliance In Its ftituro work. As soon as Dr. Halo appeared In the en trance he exhorted the score of women who inailn up his audience to move down and occupy the front reaU. As soon an he hid got them comfoitably grouped around the altar ho brought down one of the pulpit chain' to their level and at once began to talk. For half an hour he talked Informally and practically of the purpc cs and methods of the alliance , ami then answered such queilcs as lib hearers offered. Ho said thut the alliance was purely on American Institution. It was an outgrowth of the simplicity of Unitarian church life. It had become an ImpoUant adjunct In each Una of church work and these he designated as Wi.rrhlp. education , hocpltallty and char ity. The alliance hud flrtit been formed largely for missionary work , but tluco thc-n It had braadtncd until thU WES but a Email part of Its u'cfuliiffs. Ho explained In brief the workings of the correspondence de partment of the alliance and declared that 111 th's manner the alliance of bin own church reached ino-e hearts than did his sermons. It had alto become means by which people were enabled to acquire n larger undemtandlr.g of spiritual mattcrn. There had been toi much of a tendency to conIIno religious education to the Sunday school. People had their children spend six days In ctudylng mathematics , mujlc and other worldly mattcrn rnd only one hour "n Sunday Ir religion * Induction. It waa not unnntural that tin- children e-qulred tin Idea that their week day work wa vastly moro Important than ( ho hour In the Sun day cell ol. lu thu matter ol huDpliallty , Dr. Hale sab' thU he could not como out from the wwst to teach the western people anything about hospitality. Ho narrated several occur rences to ehow how easy It was to make church visitors feclmt home nnd Induce them to come ngalt > j and then briefly re ferred to the charitable phnee of the alli ance. Ho advised Ills hearers to lo-opcrate aa far as pofslble with the regularly or ganized charltlc , ! as In thin manner they would accomplish more than by endeavoring to build up an Independent organization.

Fred Henrlch , a tailor , who has resided with his family nt 3061 South Seventeenth street , for fifteen yearo , Is dead , having committed suicide by poisoning. Yesterday afternoon shortly after 3 o'clock Dan O. Connell , who lives at Twelfth and Vlnton streets , visited Rlvervlcw park. Whllo wandering around In the vicinity of the llttlo rustic bridge In the southern portion tion ot the park ho noticed the form of a man In among the trees. He passed close to the stranger and noticed that his face was badly discolored. Upon trying to arouse the oleepcr , he found that ho was dead. The coroner was notified nnd removed the body to the morgue. A search of the clothIng - Ing brought to light a badly penciled note In German , which gave the man's name. The purport of the message left behind was "Dear Wife : I can't stand to live any longer. My heart Is broke. Take care of the children. " Life had evidently been ex tinct for twenty-four hours. The wife of the deceased was vlsl'ed at her home on South Seventeenth str ct by Coroner Ilutkct and apprised of his death. She stated that Henrlch had been employed as a tailor for F. Urndcrlck , IGOfl Fiirnam street , for the past nine ycnio. About three weeks ago ho had been discharged , due to lack of work , and had been very despondent since. For several days Henrlch , so she said , had been drinking heavily , and they had 1'ad several domestic jars over the matter. Sat urday morning Henrlch left his homo , i p- parcntly more despondent than formerly. He failed to return home that night , but the wife did not xvorry , as she thought he was carousing with oomo friends and would return when ho got ready. Upon an examination of the body Ic'ng made by the coroner , It was discovered that death was duo to poisoning , ns there WRH no trace of n bullet or knife wound. AVhnro the deceased obtained the poison Is not known , but will probably bo learned later. Hcnrlch was 53 years of age , nnd leaves a family consisting of a wife and riven children. He was a member of Alpha camp , No. 1 , Woodmen of the World , and carrli-d a small amount of Insurance. An Inquoct will bo hold on the remains this mornlnv.

Commissioner Saclci'tt ( it-UIitK Points for Ills Work. Tax Commissioner Sackctt has returned from St. Louis , where he went to investigate the system of munlclpl assessment which Is considered one of the best in the United Stitcs. Ho spent ovcral dajs In becoming familiar with the St. Louis system , and some of the methods which have proved suc- coEiiful there will be adopted In the sjstem which he will establish In Omaha. The main feature In which the St. Louis system ot nrsesEinicnt dlffcis from that which has been followed here Is in. . the manner of keeping the records. There they have no cumbersome tax Itets , but the entire iccord is kept on a series of plats , each plat rep resenting a block of property. These plate ara renewed every three years and placed on file , thus forming a continuous record. The plats are decidedly moro convenient than the tax books. Each plat shows every piece of property on the block that It rep resents and a property owner cm sae at a glance the exact assessment of the adjacent piopcrty as well as of his own. In this manner It Is alto Impossible to overlook a piece of property , us is continually done when tha record Is kept on a taIbt. . All transfers of tltlo as well ns the asressmen * for each year are Indicated on the plat to the complete record Is obtainable at a glance. Mr. Sackett Invented a somewhat t'Imllnr ' system when ho was county clerk , and with the additional Information that he gained at St. Louis ho expects to be able to success fully apply it to the city assessments. The tax department at St. Louis IT In charge ot a president of the Uoard of As sessors , who receives a salary of $4,000 a year. There are also twelve assessors at fl.&OO each and thirty-nine clerks and other employes who receive from ? lf,0 a month down. The department Include. ? fifty-two men the year around. One feature of their system is the fact that no assessment Is made on the stocks ot commercial cstab- | lUhments. These are taxed by a sort of oc cupation , tax which Is levied according to the volume of business tianaictcd by each establishment. "They are dandles , " said Tiios. Dowers ot the Crocket , Texas , Enterprise , while writIng - Ing about Do Wilt's Llttlo Early Risers the famous little pills for sick headache and d'sorders ' ot the stomach and liver.

Among the se lections rendered was the no.v march by SPHPII entitled "Tho Sinnnnd Stripes For ever , " "The Llpht Cavalry , " "Dance of the Hobollnkr , " " 131 C'tipitnn"ntl many others of like plonMnn character.

A trip through the city nt this time Is ono that cannot fall but be most Interesting to every Omaha n , especially benetlcl.il to the perslmlst , and cheerful even to the hopeful nnd to thoi\ > who take most prldo In the progress ot tno city. On all sides may be seen builders nt work cither on now eii- IcrprL-fs or upon extensive repairs , whllo the demand for painters haa become some thing hitherto unnpproacheil. It Is esti mated that moro buildings are being erected than for ten years pavt. whllo twice an many p.ilntern have found work this spring than ever before. Starting at Tenth nnd Mason streets , fifty men may bo seen dally at work upon the foundations of the Utirllngton'ii new- passen ger slatloflb Well Informed persons are of the opinion that the recent decision of the Injunction will against the railroad company will not have the deleterious effect of stop ping work at that point altogether , but will merely cause the abandonment rf the pro posed scml-clicular driveway , one ot the handsomest features of the proposed struct ure. Great trencliM for the foundation walls have been dug nnd the concrete ban been placed In nearly alt of them. At Fifteenth and Farnam streets from fifty to tuxcnty-flve workmen are engaged plx duju every week In the building or the flvc- ntory building that la to be occupied by the Nebraska Clothing company. The founda tions are all In , and ( he beams for the flist floor are now being placed In position. On Dodge strost above Sixteenth about forty men are given continuous labor In preparing for the erection of Hoyden's five-story iitructuro that will connect with the present largo building. Work will bo begun next week , on the handsome five-story addition to the Boston store , and fifty more laborers will be given employment. MANY NE\V RESIDENCES. Hulldcrs and contractors report the buildIng - Ing of many naw residences throughout the city , it being estimated that nearly 100 now hoiucs are now in the process of erection. Real estate men report a steady Inquiry for desirable hou.jes. Two miles of brick , flag- ytono and cement Mdow.ilks are being laid throughout the city by ptlvato part Ira , and In numerous places the wooden sidewalks that have been trlto for eo many seasons are gradually being lost sight of. At the exposition grounds 150 men are at work grading , con.-tructing sewers , digging wells and excavating for lagoons. Hut the greatest amount of labor Is being engaged in the work of repair and renova tion. For every new building that Is being constructed there are at least a scoretha' arc being trimmed up for the exposition. One may go along residence streets in the vcatcrn and northern portions of the city and see whole rows of IIOUE-CS newly painted. Painters , inaions , brlcklajcns nnd carpenters are rinding abundant work , and It is raid that nothing but union labor la being em ployed The spirit of general improvement , renova tion nnd ornamentation of Omaha property manifested by freeholders and landlords thla spring has spread Into the railroad world , and In four of the city olllces painters and decorators have been at work for some time. The improvements to the Milton Rogers coinrr store at Fourteenth and Farnam streets , now occupied by the freight and passenger departments of the Rock Island road , are about complete , nnd the new ofllcco are generally conceded to be the most elab orate and handsome In the city. For two mouths past workmen have been busily en gaged In remodeling the west half of the Rogcis store , till now older InhabitantB scarcely recognize the placo. Immense plate glass windows have been put in one In the Farnam street front and two on the Four teenth street side. The latter side of the building hos been literally covered with large and brilliant Rock Island signs , distinguish able two blocks away. ROC1C ISLAND'S NEW OFFICE. Within the building the transformation has been complete. The floor has been hand somely tiled and the walls papered In at tractive light colors. All the furniture Is brand now , and Is of quartered oak , the general scheme of the office being of light color. The ticket case IK a beautiful one , and Is the second largest In the city. It Is oinamentC'l ' with panel mirrors. The counter Is of quartered oak , handoomely carved , with a base of Tennessee purple marble. The front part of the ollice will be occupied by the passenger department , an attractive office there having been fitted up for General Agent Rutherford. The freight nnd telegraph department oc cupy the west side and back part of the floor. General Agent Denton's oflico Is screened from the public , and has been fitted up most attractively. The office chairs are of the Rock Island dining car pattern , rattan upholstered In dark red plush. The light furniture back of the oak rails Is well ect off by dark gren carpeto. Muster Painter and Ilulldor lUttPnbtiry of thu Rock Island fyn- tem , who has been hero from Chicago , super vising the Improvements , said to a Ilee re porter that the Omaha office was now the handeomcBt Rock Island office west of Chicago. General Western Agent Fred A , Nash of the Milwaukee hns been having the offices of th.it road burnished up this spring. The outer office has been made lighter by the addition of paper and paint of light colors. Tlie walls and ceilings have been frescoed in line style , while Mr. Nosh's private ofilce In the rear of the main olllco bus been simi larly Improved and newly carpeted. At the Northwestern and the Wubauh offices In the Paxton block , painters and dccor.i'ore have been nt work for borne time , lioth offices have been made moro attractive by the free use of the painters' brushes and other work of renovation , HIS CONSTANCY' KKCKIVI3S A JOLT.
