THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : ! MONDAY , JULY 5. 1897. BUILDING WILL BEGIN SOON Contract for Erecting Administration Arch Will Bo Let Tomorrow , OTHER STRUCTURES TO FOLLOW QUICKLY SlnfT-r < n TiMl ItiilldliiKM Tut TiiKdlHT Itiiplilly Mini n Triitmfiiriiiutloii Scene Will Simn Onillon the ( iroiliuli. rho work of erecting the buildings for Iho TrannmlssIflJlppI and International Kx- fiosition will Boon be In full blnn and the reMdrtiu of Omaha will be treated to an ex hibition of rapid construction which will knock all preconceived notions Into a cocked hat The rapidity with which these staff covered exposition buildings call be erected Is marvelou ? to those who have not had an opportunity ot seeing the work done. The contract for the first of these build ings , the Administration arch , will be let Tuesday of this week. Illd for the con struction ot the Manufactures nnd Liberal Arts building will be opened July IFi , and the plnn for the Mine * nnd Mining building arc being pushed as rapidly ns possible. ThK > o will be completed within the next week or ten days and another building will be at once taken up. In this way It Is hoped to have all the main buildings well under way before fall and the con- etructlon of the smaller buildings will then be puxhed In the name vigorous manner. Tlio olllro of the archltects-ln-chief pre- ficnts a very busy scene during these warm days. A large force of draughtsmen is busily engaged In walking out the details of conetructlon , following u uniform scheme In tin erection of the framework of the several buildings. The drawings are duplicated by the hectograph process , the ordinary method of making blue prints being entirely ton slow owing to the largo number of copies of each drawing reipilied. STAFF IIANDLHU 1.1KB HOARDS. There Is a general Impression that the construction of staff buildings can only be carried on during warm weather and that the first front will bring the work to a complete standstill. Archltect-ln-Chlet Klmball says this IB a mistaken notion. Ho > ays these buildings can be erected in any kind of wiather without any more drawbacks than would obtain In the erection of a building covered with boards. Mr. Klmball toy staff Is a mixture of plaster of p.irls , some kind of hemp libro , and. us ually , a small quantity of cement. This mb'tanco la molded In large slabc- and after it I drltd Is bandied In the same way as beard of the tame size , being fastened In lila. ( i with nails. The casting of these hlabe Is the operation which requires wnrmth to suecccsfully complete , but after t-io work Is onue completely dried the weather has little effect upon It during the first year , although It is not permanent for u longir time. \\hen tin erection of the main buildings comnienccis the contractors will establish their "staff plants" ou the exposition ground" for the manufacture of these slabs. It ha.s been decided that the buildings shall be given the tint of old marble and the FtafT turned out of tluse factories will l"e co'orud to produce this effect. Thi e "Klalm" will be on an Immense scale and inniy of them will bo works of art In themselves. In- tiIrate carving and clut-slc sculpture will be Imitated to a nicety and the artistic i-lfect produced by the lliihhfd buildings will b Hiieh as could only be found otherwise In the nto t beautiful building : , of the old masters ? . Statuary of heroic * i/.e will surmount some of the main buildings and tluse will all be done In staff. The Implying enluiniiH of the long colonnades and of the beautiful porticos facing the main court will be constructed of the same lowly material. The handscme bas relief sculpture adorning the pediments of the main buildings will bo "inoulded ot ( staff and the llorui cotichant and rampant survey ing ( lie main court from their lofty pedestals will be pnured out of a huge pot and not Avon from the bowels of mother earth by the hand of the sculptor. I'ARK HOARD RKADY TO WORK. The conditions precedent to a participation ty the Hoard of 1'nrk Commissioners in the work of improving the exposition grounds have at laot been compiled with and within n few days Hie necessary papers will have passed giving the city the title to the eleven ncris of land which will be known hereafter ns Kountze park. When this Is done the park board will at once bcsln active work , co-operating with the exposition manage ment. The board will expend about f0,0lo ; ! ( this > car In beautifying the grounds and will expend an additional amount next year. This eleven acri'rt forms the center of the Kountze tract ol forty acres. Halt of the eleven acres was donated to the city by Mr. Kountze and the other half was purchased by the exposition association and presented to the city for park purix es. Dudley Smith of this city has been ap pointed by the exposition management as commissioner general to Oieat llrltnln and will start for Washington Wednesday of this week , accompanied by M'-s. Smith. In "Washington Mr. Smith will be supplied by the Department of State with credentials to the Hrltlsh government , and his principal endeavor will bo to Induce that government to appoint a commissioner to the Transmls- Bl 8lppl Imposition and make a government exhibit. If this Is done It Is expected that n very salutary effect will bo produced upon English manufacturers nnd a much larger number of exhibitors thereby secured from that country. Mr. Smith will be absent un til some time In September. The- laying of railway tracks Into the ex position grounds will be commenced this week and by the time the contractor for the Administration building Is ready for his ma terial the liacks will bo ready for use in tel ling bis cars just where he wants them. Theeo tracks will run along the north nnd south sides ot the main court at the rear of the main buildings , nnd will he used fur hauling In material to bo used In the con- Ktrui-tlnn of Hie buildings and. liter , fur Imullng exhibits directly to the buildings In which they are to bi Installed.

They will cross six teenth street nt right angles with the street and will pass along the bluff tiact. Other tracks will probably be laid on ( he grounds by the Northwestern company , whose tracks nro about as near tn the exposition grounds ns those of the Missouri IMclllc. The Mis souri I'nrlllr will make a switching charge nf $4 tier car for all cars placed on the exposition grounds. The artesian well contractor has been hair- Ing considerable dlllh-ulty during Iho pat.1 week or ten days In recovering hh drill nnd grappling tools which _ wcro but at the bottom of the well , , i distance of over 70C feet below the btirface. The drill was losl first and shortly afterward the grappling tools were likewise le < > t while attemptini ; to get hold of the drill. The accident w.u Paused by ton nillrU haste. The Mlpply ol Iilpo with which the well is lined aj fasl ns the hole Is ptulunl toward the center oi thi > larth. became exhausted. Not wUhiiu to lose tlmu by watting until another sup ply of pipe was received , the contractor con tinued drilling without lining the hole. At n result the drill became fastened at tin bottom of the hole and the rope used u operate. It was broken. A grappling too was tent down the hole to recover the drill but thu earth tumbled Into the hole an. the grappling tool was held fast. Abou tills tlmu moro pipe was received and woil was resumed In the regular manner , push lug the lining down to where the tools \v-n fast. U was reported yesterday that tin tools had been recovered and that worl bad been resumed. It Is expected that i lieavy How of water may be struck at an ) time If the well proves a success otheri will bo at once put down for supplying tin lagoon with water dutlng the exposition. $ lt.7fi TO Mll.W.VrKHU AMI HHTI'll.

II. .MrCorinlck Interpret * ClirlNl'x Tclll'lillKT t ! > < J.ojnlty ( u Country U'IIH tin Iiuiivriitlve Duty. Ilov. S. n. McCormlek , nt the Flrrt 1'res- jytcrlan church , preached yesterday morning on the theme , "Our Duty to God mid Conn- try , " from the text : Matt , xxll , 21 : "Ron- li > r therefore unto Caesar the things that arc Caesar's , and unto God the things that arc God's. " He said : "Christ In this text distinguished between the church and the state and recognized the fact that they belong to distinct spheres. Duty discharged In one relation does not excuoc duty neglected In the other. Christ dlil not say that Caesar was as Important as God. lie did say , however , that the obligation to be true to country Is as Im perative as Is the obligation to be trim tn God. Good citizenship Is a matter of the supremi'st obligation. "The nation Is a spiritual entity , and lias Its own fptrlt and Ideals as does the Indi vidual. Contrast England and Spain nnd note how far s ° parated they are In their national spirit nnd arms. What this con- trnllliiK spirit will be depends upon the spirit of the people. The millions nf Per sians could not overcome the hundreds of Greeks , because the former were slaves , moving at the command of a muster , while the latter were free , patriotic. Intelligent men , who fought for homo nnd country. Homo fell at I ? t. because she lost her memory of patt greatness and cared more for luxury than for country. It was because our people remembered Hunker 11111 and Yorktown. and because they were animated by n spirit of love for nation that the late rebellion was crushed , even though It cost untold treasure In men anil money. "Sir William Jones wrote , more than a century ago. that the state Is constituted not of things material , but of men high- minded men. Such men always recognize this principle : All private virtue Is the public fund ; As that abounds the state decays or thrives ; Ka eh should contribute to the geneinl stock And who lends most U most Ills country's friend. "Robert iillr > Thompson states and demon strates the proposition that In the conviction of n just , orderly holy government of the nation bv God lies the only safeguard of the liberties of anv people. Ho declares that the battle for human freedom was fought by men who believed In God Intensely , and who found despots , small tlmigs , because they themselves , like Elijah , stood before the living God. He most thoroughly vindi cates his conclusion that the Christian state is the best because It sets the highest value on man. and Is most jealous of any needless restraints upon bin God-given liberty. CONDITIONS TO OUR GRKATNHSS. "Only such a nation , and surh is our own. will adequately provide the conditions whereby Individual and national life may reach full perfection. This nation will be greatest when It becomes the arena on which life's great problem shall be suc cessfully solved ; when righteousness , intelll- i nco and mercv Miall rule ; when wealth ih.ill cease to overshadow worth ; when the ri-jh will recognize the dignity of true man hood in everv condition , and the poor shall be without envy and bitterness toward those whn are In a better situation thin them selves. Then will Macaulay's picture ot Home bo with us a reality Then none wai for a party ; Then all were for the state ; Then the nival man helped the poor And the poor man loved the great ; Then lands were fairly portioned Then spoils were fttli-ly sold ; The Hotnans were like brothers In the brave days of old. "This nation has Its mission to the world. I believe that it will rise to the splendor of Its opportunity , and , learning In the school of Christ , will become the teacher of nation1 ; . It will come to them as the dew comes upon the morning flower , with benedictions of sweet peace : Miall come as the sun Hoods the valley , with the light of intelligence and progress ; shall come as the gentle rain- drous fall UDOII the thlroty ground , with promise ot flower and bud and fruit ; shill come as Moses came to Israel In Egypt , with a proclamation of glorious liberty. Hut this will hi * only as our citizens are waked to the true glory and responsibility of citizenship , and ore made to sec that they must both render unto Caesar what Is Cacoar's nnd unto God what Is His. " om.HJ.vriox HKSTS i'ro.KACH. . < ; < MH ! CIIIeiiNV1II \ol Shirk 1'iililir llrsponsllilllltrs. At the Kountze Memorial Lutheran church yesteulay morning the pastor. Rev. A. J. Turkic , taking for lii subject , "Hcsponal- billty of Citizenship , " said : "Solomon declared centuries ago , 'When the righteous arc In authority , the peop'ic rojolcu ; when the wicked bcareth rule , the people mourn ! ' and this truth Is as applica ble today In our own land as It was In the land of 1'alestlne In the days of the wlac1 king. It Is surprising how much evil a wicked olllclal can bring about. "A wise ruler Is of the greatest benefit to a nation. England has enjoyed marvelous progress In her commerce , institutions of learning , political Inllncnco and cccluslastl- cal affairs during the reign of her wise and virtuous queen , Victoria. When the fair- minded , liberty-loving Lincoln wan elccUf pritildent bin very soul revolted against op pression and wrong ; ho acted in harmony with the principle of right , and emancipated the slave. "In our country , where the people choose the rulers , citizenship is a grave respon sibility. It meant ? more than the authority to cam a ballot ; It also involves thu moral ability to cast it right. Voting i the inocit sacitd function a man can perform. It has come to pawl that It Is no disgrace for n man to clungc h't ' * party , and the right cs * tlmatc of citizenship Is being recovered. Tie | boss In politics ; in doomed. The boo'ller ' can not stand before thu ballots of hunrot , God fearing men. "There linn been n rapid advance ment along Home lines of Improvci'i citizenship. Hut many of the old perils vtill beset us. Hrlbe-ry , liooillo legis lation , inunlfiii.il corruption , partisanship In local ] ollirti : , disregard of Sunday laws , sec ularization of thu public schools anil shirk ing of civic duties , are the dragon * ) to be claln. Wealth and corporations must receive no favors from the hands of legislators. There must be no discrimination between the pun ishment of the man who steals from an Indi vidual and an olllclnl who takes from the pub lic funds. Prisons should never be made a paradlm for a rich man and a purgatory for a poor 'nan. CLEAN MEN MUST HE CHOSEN. "Wo must elec ! men whose llvcii , public and private , are clean. Men who will us& their India-nee , uld power , by oindul nttuiancei and declarations In public aKsnmhlies and through their ollU-lnl reports , against wrong In every form and for Urn right regardless of consequences.

South Oittiiha News . , The police yesterday -Investigated the mur der of Albert Eabrel and as a result Peter Moore and Henry Hecht are In jail , they having been Identified as leaders In the free-for-all fight In which Xabrel lost his life. Chief llrcnnan enys he has evidence which he will produce nt the proper time implicating the men. He further says that he will furnish testimony to the effect that 'Henry Hecht was seen to clutch Siabrol about the throat. Harry S. Mocks. who was one of the- invited guests to the birthday party , has been placed in custody nnd will be held ns a wltncs ? . Coroner Hurket viewed the rcmnlns yesterday nnd impaneled a jury , which will meet Tuesday morning to Inquire into the crime. Assistant County Attorney Jeffries came down yesterday and went over the ground with Chief llrcnnan , Interviewing every one who could be Induced to talk about the affair. It Is understood that a state com plaint will be ( lied today charging Mono and Hecht with murder. So far It has been Impossible to ascertain the cause of the trouble. The police have , talked with all of the persons known to be present who spcik English , but have not been able as yet to learn the causes which led up to the light. The prisoners were all under the Influence of liquor when nrristed , but when sobered up yesterday afternoon did not appear to be able to state how the fracas commenced. All they appear to know Is Hut It started and that they jumped in to b-epanite tin no In the mlxup. Each one alleges that he stiuck no blows nnd docs not know who did. The truth about tin- matter \\lll prob ably not come out until the coroner's In quest is held , and It Is doubtful If all the details can be nsceilalned then on account of the Inability or many of the witnesses to speak EnglU-h , A careful Investigation of the corp ? ? was made , tint no marlu > of violence were found except on the neck. There is a slight bruise over the left eye and one on the right el bow. The neck , however , shows plainly the marks of strangling. The police called to mind a coincidence In connection with the death ot Kabrel. On the night of July 3 , ISflG , a Holicmian named Robert Vocatek was killed at Twentieth and Q streets by a live electric wire. The two deaths occurred i\t \ about the same time ot night , though In different parts of the city. May Vein ( ins Onl Inn lire.

He had learned , be said , that It was the Intention la sell the franchise , and that the projectors. had obtained the franchise for speculation and no.hing n.ore. Again he thought that twenty-five years was too long a time for a franchise to run. In fact lie did not think thai a franchise should be granted lor more tliun fifteen years.

The Schlltz Hrewing company is negotiating for the Hannon corner at Twenty-seventh and L streets , and will erect a btoiago Louse on the property provided the city council v > il ! allow a sidetrack to be run along the alley to the1' line of the -lot. The committee ! on viaducts , streets and alleys has bcon investi gating the matter nnd will most liktdy report favorably. Sidetracks are already laid to th. coal yards , just north ot the L street viaduct , and the intention is now to allow the tracks to bo extended south along an alley to tin viaduct. It is not thought that one tracii. moro or less , will make much difference , and the committee appears to favor any now enterpiifie which will tend toward the Im provement of the city. Xu More StriTt Car I'asNCH. Officials of the Omaha Street Railway com pany have prepared a circular letter to be sent to the city ollicials holding passes calling attention to the law passed by the legislature last winter governing the Issuing of passes. The letter goes on to say that after July 11 city ollicials , policemen and llrcmen will not ba transported free. Instructions will be issued to conductors to take ui > all pasBcu held by city ollleials and collect fares.

TROUBLES OF THE FIREMEN Fftlso Alarm ? the Principal Source of Anmyanca to the Department , WORK OF PRACTICAL JOKERS IN OLD TIMES t nilcr lr "MMit SjHti-ni of I'nll UIIXCN Allrweit WIIK * Art- Out itT n .loll Other finises for I'.lNe Alnrius. "False alarms make us no end of trou ble , " said a prominent fire olllcl'.il the oth. r day. "Tho percentage of calls turned In by humorously Inclined pelsous , however Is ou the decrease. In days gone by It was considered a good Joke to pull a box and then , from some secluded spot , w.vtcli the panting horses ns they pulled the heavy apparatus to the place. It uas urged that the department was paid for making runs. Then , too. there are people1lio believe that a fireman's life Is one continuous i-on nil of Idleness and pleasure , and It was only proper that he should be nunlc to labor. "When the ( Jamewell system was first placed In npiration by the city , boxes were equipped with .1 heavy brass handle which H was only necessary to give a good twist In order to send thc\ companies Hying. This was a , rare chance tor the wag nnd he Iwt no time In Improving It. The boxes were next locked and keys distributed to residents nearby. This knocked out the practical joker , but was unhandy for persona who had real use for the department. The boxes are now equipped with a brass handle which unlocks It and the call Is i turned In from a hook placed on the Inside. The last scheme works fairly well. "Outside ot the work of the wag there are numerous causes for false alarm * . The burning out of chlinnrjs Is pcihaps the most frequent one. A smoke condi.Wor be comes overcharged with soot mid when a big tire Is placed in the grate or stove It ignites with the spontaneity of gun cotton. A Hash , a i oar , and a chimney which a few moments previous appears harmtcts. thnkes Itself , and to the eyes of the startled spectator tater proceeds to devour the neighborhood. Very few of the chimney burnHUH ! cause any damage. They are usually out by the time we arrive on the M'eno. Sometimes , however , the shingles around one catch from stray sparks and give us a job for a few minutes. Pl'LL POINTURS TOO FAR. "Tho old A. D. T. rail boxes formerly kept us hustling on 'watcrhauls. ' On the dial of ( ho ancient nickel boxes tevernl divisions were stamped. These Included mottfengers , express , cab , tire and police. The ( Ire section was next to that for an express wagon , and frequently In pulling down the pointer : i call was turned In to the department. Thu old defect has been reme died. "A man with a hilarious Jag will often Imagine that the whole town is on liic. Not long ago a well dressed Individual rui-heil Into u livery stable near Sherman avenue and Locust street and asked the use of the telephone. He said In a highly txc.ted manner that a cottage nearby was ablnzc and that the Inhabitants would be burned alive. Investigation followed tnat the man hud been rushing a growler with Mime friends for an hour and that there was noth ing in the sJiapo of a tire except bomo burn ing refuse , the smoke of which showed up above the roof of a certain cottage. That man would have gone to jail , but unfor tunately he made himself scarce. "There was a. certain manufacturing plant in Jhe central portion of this city not long ago which caused more profanity firm lire- men who wce : otherwise religiously Inclined than anything else which they had to com bat. It was located in the bas-ement of the building and during the processes of manufacture .1 chemical smoke was gencr- .fted which wafted through the windows to the street above. Kvery man who parsed that place was at once Impressed with the fact that the building was a smouldering uist of combustibles. He never stopped to investigate , but hustled for the nearest box We had a path beaten to that place. The chief at length forced the proprietors to close the front windows of the factory and to construct a iltte which carried the- smoke through the roof. UKI'LECTIONS OF TIII3 SUX. "Crowed wires sometimes turn In an alarm and lightning striking them will do the same. They are usually so erratic , however , that the companies do not turn out. Some times pedestrians will catch a glimpse of the setting sun glancing on the windows of a big building and swear that the struc ture Is ablaze fiom top to bottom. A man once turned ia an alarm from Ninth and Capitol avenue on the supposition that the Deerlng building was on tire from this cause. "Last winter we got a call from a resi lience on y rtli Twenty-fourth street. When we arrived on the scene wo found nn ex cited famdy In the yard and n speckled hen distractedly clucking to an imaginary hiood of chickens in an outbuilding. It appeals the fowl was imbued with maternal In- Btlnct and had been trying to hatch out a brood of chickens from an assortment of door knobs. She had parted with her breast featheis , and the children taking compassion on her unprotected co : lltlon had placed a lamp underneath the bench upon which the nest rested. During the night the Inn perspired freely , and growing weary of the tropical heat permeating her domicileklckul the lamp over. The damage was slight. Verily the trials and tribulations of the fireman are ninny. " CIIICACD , MM.\VAIKII : .t ST. iMri , . * -il < ! .7. > Oiniiliii ti > Mil tvniiUrt' , WIs. , ami l- < -l iii-n.
