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

to ClliiK Tuo

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. "

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.

STl'IHIiS ST. I.OVIS TAX METHODS.
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.

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 ,

It was too hot to ride far yesterday. Even
the hardenoJ sun baked enthusiasts pre
ferred to tit 'In the sliado and to watch the
frantic efforts of the mercury to crawl out
of the top of the tube. The wheel was In
disrepute and was discarded like coata and
vests and everything else so far us wan
consistent with eommoti decorum.
The duy was a scorcher even Irom the
earliest hours , Rome ot the faraigtcd

days , got up with the dawn In the hope
that they would bu able lo enjoy the * cool
of the morning. Hut there was none of

out at all It did not go far. Plans of long
runs Ilz/.led out us the rldcis frizzled In the
hot rajfl of the sun.
Even tbu club members were content to
stay In the shudo. All the clubs had

were a lot of known wheelmen out ut the
