Two thousand nnd more of the Bohemian
residents of Omaha Joined together In
mirth , mualc and spccchmaklng Sunday aft
ernoon In dedicating the magnificent new
'hall of the Tel Jed Sokol saclcty , which
Is Iho strongest and largest of the Bo
hemian Turner clubs In the city. It was
a gala ccaslon and one which marked an
epoch in the history of one of the 'best ' ,
most public-spirited and proi rcsulvo for-
olgn elements in Omaha's citizenship. From
the time of the organization of the splendid
parade until the last strains of muo.o uit
away In the distance last night , marking
the close of the festivities , nothing oc
curred to mar the pleasure or success of
the occasion. Kvcr will memory of the
event , bo retained 'by these who participated
In the exercises and pleasures Incident to
the day.
The Tel Jed Sokol society , by whom the
Sargc , handeomo hall en South Thirteenth
street was built , was Joined In celebration
of the opening exercises by all the Bohem
ian organizations In Omaha and South
Omaha and n lilting beginning for the oc
casion was the magnificent parade , which
formed at Mctr. hall , the former meeting
place of the society , and marched south
on Thirteenth street to the new hall. In
the line of march were 1,000 men sons of
Bohemia strong , stalwart and of stately
hearing , a credit to the nation of which they
proudly speak as the "fatherland" and of
the country and city of their adoption. The
parade was headed by W. Buresh , the mar
shal of the day , followed by carriages con
taining the guests cf honor and the speakers
of the day. Then came the following Bo-
Jiemlun societies : Tel Jed Sokol of South
Omaha , Sokol Tys , Catholic Sokol , Rad Pa-

Workmen , St. Allos Catholic society and ,
bringing up ( he rear , the Tel Jed Sokol of
Omaha. The parade extended eight blocks
In length and as It moved elowly along thfi
street presented an Imposing spectacle. Each
of the various societies represented had its
liannorn proudly floating In the gentle breeze ,
which lightly fanned the many thousands of
people who lined the sidewalks along the
route pursued by the parade. The men
who participated In the procession were at
tired In 'handsome ' uniforms , denoting the
lodges to which they belonged , nnd this
nrray of 'bright and varied colors made the
BCfjno one of beauty rarely excelled.
Arriving at the handsome edifice , -which
"boro the unmistakable signs of recent com
pletion , there was a surging of the many
liundreds of people as they passed through
the doors of the main entrance. The guests
of honor and the speakers were escorted to
places on the platform and the members of
the various societies represented took the
positions In the auditorium asalgned them.
Occupying seats on the platform were Mayor
Frank E. Moores , City Treasurer Edwards ,
Councllmen Blnghum and Stuht , Members of
the Board of Education Bandhauer and
Cowlo , George * Helmrod , Edward Roscwater ,
Richard Havelka , ATrKmentrJ. E. Dietrich
and the presidents of all the societies which
participated In the parade.
The music for the occasion was furnished
by Letovsky's orchestra , and whllo the
strains of Innes' "I.ove Is King" resounded
through the building the vast assemblage
which had gained admission to the audito
rium crowded every Inch of available space
on the main floor and the galleries. H was
a veritable multitude which R. Havelka ,
president of the Tel Jed Sokol , faced
when ho rose to receive the keys of the new
cdlflpe from J. E. Dietrich , the architect.

In his opening remarks President Havelka
said : "On this , the occasion of the opening
of our new hall , wo have much for which to
ll ' 1)0 thankful and little to regret. True , ninny
years have elapsed since our society began
the contemplation of that which has now
lieon accompanied. Through those many
years of uncertainty and doubt most of us
liavo had abiding faith In the final consum
mation of that which wo had under way.
The purpose and aim of our society are to
develop and strengthen the body and 1m-
provo the mind. Wo advocate the fraternal
( relations of brother with brother nnd in
>
order to bring this about we attempt to ad
vance the social Ilfo of our members. AVe
believe that the development of the body Im
parts new Ilfo and flro to the Intellect , and
thus exerts a power comprehended by but
tevf. In the future this hall will bo our
headquarters. Hero our members and friends
may come together without Intruding upoa
anyone ,
"As the representatives of the Bohemian
citizenship In the largest city In Nebraska
It becomes necessary that we should set n
proper example which may bo followed by
others nnd ono that they can well struggle
to emulate. In this connection , I man men
tion the magnificent parade which wo gave
last year at the Transmlsslsslppl Exposi
tion , demonstrating as It did what wo can
do and what wo will do ngaln when occasion
requires. " Ho spoke of the fact that the
Hlohemliuis had settled In what was then
the southern part of Omaha long years ago
end had witnessed the city grow and pros
per until now the heroes which they had
Imlhloci wpro In the central part of the city.
He said : "Our now hall Is centrally located
In the mldbt of our early settlement. Some
of our old residents have gone further south
and made for themselves new homes In the
IMaglo City , but between these and our
selves there are long and wide streets and
( iwlftly moving electric cars , and we hopa
our friends and brothers In South Omaha
will visit us often and partoko of our hos
pitality. "
In conclusion ho said ; "Let us all do our
duty and our society will prosper and com
mand the rrfipect and admiration of all. "
AililreNN by Jlnj or „ Moore * .
Mayor Moo re 3 was next Introduced. He
congratulated the Bohemians upon the suc
cessful crowning of their efforts to build a
hall and said that the now building was a
magnificent temple In which the members
nnd their friends could moot and enjoy
themselves In the manner for which Bo
hemians are noted. Ho Indicated his pleas
ure that so many Bohemians had settled In
lAmerlca under tbo glorious flag which
guarantees for the Intelligent foreigner equal
rights with all others ; which gives him the
privilege of the ballot and makes him A
partaker In all of the freedom of American-
Ism. "Tho Turner societies , " he said , "aro
tmong the best Institutions which have been
brought from the old world. They hold up
the Ideal manhood nnd womanhood and at
tempt to build * up to the high standard es
tablished. The members have no time for
anarchy , debauchery and crime and are a
credit to the country. The public gplrlted-
ncss and energy shown by the Bohemian
Turners , members of this society which to
day celebrates the opening of this splendid
new hall , are a credit lo the city. Wo want
nil the same kind Of Bohemians we can get.
1 hope than In ten years Nebraska will have
100,000 Bohemian citizens Instead of 35,000 ,
nnd I hope that Omaha will get Its full
share as they come from the old country. "
Mayor Moores , In conclusion , again compli
mented the Bohemians most heartily for
their energy In aildlng to Omaha a society
hall of such magnificent proportions and
appolntmonls.
The principal address of ihe day was de
livered by A. Kment , who holds the highly
inorcd position of president of all the
Morn Bohemian Turner societies. Ills
emarks were addressed to the audience In
ihelr native tongue and were delivered with
a fire and eloquence which aroused great en
thusiasm among his auditors , who frequently
forced the speaker to stop because of their
ringing applause. The address was charac
terized as being a splendid effort by all , nnd
Mr. Kmcnt was accorded many congratula
tions. At Its conclusion he read telegrams
from societies of like character at different
points In Nebraska congratulating the mem
bers of Omaha Tel Jed Sokol on the open
ing of the now hall ,

At this juncture President Havelka an
nounced that Edward Roeowater had agreed
to raise for the society $1,000 $ by December
25 and had made a personal subscription of
$100. $ This "wan especially good news to the
members of the society because of the fact
that a debt was necessarily Incurred in the
erection of the hall and their applause -\vtus \
Joined In by the vast assemblage when Pres
ident Havelka announced the gratifying
news. Mr. Ucsewater responded to the many
calls for a speech by staling :
"Ladles and Genllcmen and Fellow Couo-
Irymcn : Today , on the occasion of this aus
picious event , I see myself thirty-six ycaro
ago , when I came Into Omaha then a mere
hamlet over the rough roads , from the
Platlc river , In stage coach , and I find my-
flclf somowher > about this spot thrown lethe
the ground by the turning over of the slago
coach. Then Omaha contained less than
half as many people as there arc Bohemians
hero today. I can see myself at that time
going about and Inquiring for some of my
countrymen , but 'found ' not one. I discov
ered that I was the first man born on Bo-
ticmlan soil who had located In Omaha Then
there were probably not more than 100 Bo
hemians Iti the state. Now there are more
than 40,000. In Omaha and South Omaha ,
which arc practically one and the same ,
there are over 8,000.
"I am more than pleased today with the
consummation of a plan advocated by me
more than twenty years ago. I proposed
then that a building bo erected In the Bo
hemian settlement for the Bohemian people
df Omaha , where they could enjoy turn-
vereln games , athletic sports , theatrical en
tertainments and fraternal relations to
gether. I am happy to see the realization
of the dream that I have so long entertained
In one of the finest and largest society halls
In Omaha , erected for the Bohemian people
and nobody else. "
He counseled the Bohemians to stand to
gether and , while being loyal American cit
izens , still to cherish the memory of their
forefathera and said that united the Bo
hemians of Omaha could wield a power In
all things designed to promote the public
welfare. In conclusion he said : "The Bo
hemians have made greater progress than
any other foreign nationality and none have
a betler future. "
The music which Inferspersed the ad
dresses was an especial feature. There were
several selections rendered 'by singing clubs
belonging to local Bohemian societies and ,
In conclusion , a beautiful national hymn of
Bohemia was sung by a large chorus , made
up of members of the Tel Jed Sokol and
their eons nnd daughters. This was fol
lowed by "My Country , 'TIs of Thee , " and
there was no mistaking the sincerity of the
enthusiastic , patriotic outburst of applause
which greeted this selection.
In the evening there were muulc and danc
ing and the new hall was visited by many
thousands of people during the day and
night.

NO FANS ARE NOW REQUIRED
I'eoitlc of Oinalm Once More Knjuy
Life After tbc Sweltering Tor
rid Weather.
The gradual lowering of the temperature
which tog&n Thursday morning with the
advent cf rain , and has since continued ,
came like a 'blessing ' from above to the swelt
ering people of Omaha and vicinity. For a
few days the torrldlty of the temperature
was such ns to send every one In search
of a fan , and every electric old producer
In the town was worked over time. But
for the past three days fans have gene out
of fashion and these people who have been
In the habit of perspiring freely minus their
coats and vests have once more donned
their usual wearing apparel and are com
fortable.
Yesterday was a day for comfort and the
people of the city .were out from early mornIng -
Ing until late In the evening. They began
by going to church In the morning and the
sanctuaries , which have been well nigh de
populated for the last Sunday or two , were
well filled with worshipers. In the after
noon etrcet cars were crowded with people
seeking the parks and suburbs and the
cars going to the exposition were crowded.
Several excursions were also well patronized
and the people acted In general like small
boys who have Just been released from
the Irksome restraints of the school room ,
The temperature reached 93 at 5 p. m.
Wednesday and after that there was a per- :
ceptlblo cooling , whllo on Thursday the
highest point reached was 88 at 3 p. m. i
Friday the temperature registered at 54 nd
never got higher than 70 all day , Saturday
the weather atlll remained cool , the highest
temperature being at 3 p , m. , when It rached
73. Sunday the range was from 67 at D a ,
m. to 78 at 4 p. m. and the clouds that ob
scured the sun nearly all day were con
ducive lo comfort. From all Indications the
break In the little stretch of torrid zone
weather we have been undergoing will beef
of some duration and the outlook for a
few dayti of solid comfort is propitious ,

The- storm clouds that hung over this ecc-
tlon of the country during Friday and Satur
day broke Sunday morning and the sun shone
out as brightly as during a day In May , Tbo
change In the weather conditions brought
joy to the hearts of the exposition managers ,
and It was with feelings of satisfaction that
they watched the crowds pass through the
gatra from early morning until Fate at night.
The attendance was the largest of any Sunday
'
day elnco the opening and what was more ,
there were many strangers. During the day
a party of about fifty came In from St.
Joseph , some from Sioux City , and a small
delegation from Lincoln. In addition to
theje there were many from along the line
of the Union Pacific and some twenty-five
from off the Missouri Pacific , parties who
came from the vlolnlty of Falls City.
In the evening the usual Omaha visitors
turned out and swelled the attendance to
such an extent that the gates showed nearly
7,000 on the grounds. The strangers , as a
rule , expressed themselves as being favor
ably Impressed with the exposition , and par
ticularly so with the grounds and the Illumi
nations.
The Sunday features were well attended.
The Indian parade around the Grand court in
connection with the Indian band drew all
the people to the banks of the Lagoon. The
sacred concert In the Auditorium in the aft
ernoon filled that building , while the concert
In front of the Government building later
In the day drew a good-sized crowd. The
concert on the Plaza In the evening proved
to bo an attractive feature and entertained
many who did not vare for wandering along
the Midway.
The exposition people have closed the con
tract for another free feature which they
hope will bo a drawing card. It Is an elec
tric fountain that win be located in the Mir
ror of the Lagoon and will be in operation
Thursday night. The company that owns the
plant comes from St. Joseph. The manager
Is hero now and has ordered the outfit
shipped. It will arrive tomorrow. It will
run every evening for a period of thirty mln.
utes and Is said to excel the electric foun
tain seen In Jackson Park at Chicago during
the World's fair.
FILIPINOS AUE ON THE C.IIOUXD.
Native * of the Inland of I-UT.OII Ciimc
to Hxponltlon.
A party of Filipinos , eleven men , four
wo'men and two children , direct from the
Island of Luzon , arrived Sunday and took
up their quarters in the Philippine village.
None of these people speak English. The
only word that they have been able to learn
Is Omaha. Like these who arrived a few
days ago , thcfce peopto are email , well built
and active. Their complexion Is about the
color of the Japanese. Their hair is black
and straight.
. Among the number Is Bsrnlto Mall ] , who
was a hostler for Colonel Stotsenberg prior
to his iieath , near Manila. This man is
about 25 years of ago and has been a BO-
dler. He Is pock-marked and slightly larger
than his fellows. Nearly all the men In
the last consignment have been soldiers and
two or three have served under Agulnaldo.
However , they were with him when he was
fighting the Spaniards and deserted after he
commenced warfare on the Americans. All
of the men are great admirers of the Amer
ican soldiers and through their Interpreter
exprets the opinion that the Philippines will
prosper under the rule of the United States.
In the party are a number of fine musl-
clane. One plays the piano , three play the
guitar , n couple the flute , and all sing. Tea
a select audience in the afternoon the double
quartet rendered a number of selections ,
one of which was "A Hot Time" and the
other was the "Star-Spangled Banner , " both
translated Into Spanish and set to the music
of the original tunes.
AH of tbo Filipino women sing and play ,
and are said to bo flno musicians. Like the
men , the women arc small , but not qulto
so dark. Their features are good , and to all
appearances they look very much like pro
nounced brunettes of about 13 years of age.
People who expected to find the Filipinos
representatives of a race of savages arc dis
appointed. Instead of belonging to that
class , they come nearer resembling a lot of
dudes. They are stylish dressers , wear good
clothes , derby hats , carry canes and clothe
themselves In coats and trousers that are as
white as snow. Upon arriving at the vll-
lago their first act was to take a bath In tbo
lake , where they sported about In the water
'or an hour. Then they ate their breakfast ,
made a short tour of the grounds , and took
another plunge In the water. All are expert
swimmers and seem to bo as much at home
In tbo water as upon the land.

Yesterday morning a number of the Sioux
Indians participated in tbo parade around
the lagoon. After completing the circuit
of the little bhcet of water the Indians
passed under the Administration arch , where
they met President Miller , who was stand
ing there , talking with a party of friends.
The Indians stopped and Introductions fol
lowed. After a handshake all round ,
President Miller recited some of his early
experiences In Omaha. The address , for Bucli
It was , was directed particularly to Little
Wound , who Is the head chief of the tribe
and , in fact , the head war chief of thn
Sioux nation ,
After some preliminary talk relative to
the exposition President Miller Informed the
old chief that ho had resided hero nearly
fifty years. Ho told the old warrior that
as a young doctor he came west to carve
his fortune and a name. When bo reached
Omaha it was a town of a tow log shanties
on the river bank and that all around on
the bluffs were the tepees of the Pawnees
and the Sioux , who were members of two
great and powerful nations. To the south
uore the Pawnees and to the north were
the Slnux. The favorite camping place of
the Sioux , the speaker fcald. was along the
bluff Just north of the exposition grounds.
In those days the buffaloes were almost at
numerous as the .blades of grass upon the
prairies. President Miller Informed the old
chief that his first patient was an Indian
whoso bonce now rcpcea In an unmarked
grave not far from "here Rlvervlew park
It now located. The march of civilization
drove the Indians back , their lands were
taken from them and today , be added , manjr
of them ore respected people of a race that
la rapidly dying out ,
The old chief listened with great respect
and when the remarks were Interpreted he
replied that It makes him feel gcod to como
to a great city and be permitted to ralngla
with the white * . Ilefcrrlng to the taking
of the land of his people , he expressed
como bitterness and ventured a prediction
that It was another ea e where might was
right.
In a humorous vein the old Indian said
that when a young man President Miller' *
skill as a great medicine man was carried
far' and wide among the Indians of the Ne
braska plains. Referring to the first patient
that the doctor secured after coming to
Omaha , the chief merely remarked : " 1
guess the medicine was too strong for an
Indian. " This caused a smile to pass over
the faces of the other Indians , who noded
an approval of the opinion expressed by
their leader. After another handshake the
Indians gathered their blankets around them
and stalked off to their quarters , conversing
among themselves relative to the pleasant
little reccntlon.

ADVANTAGE T0 THE STATE
_
Historical Publication DcnlKncil to
UlxHcmliintc Information Con
cerning ; Nebraska.
A most comprehensive and detailed de
scription of the state , delineating Its agri
cultural , stockralslng and mineral resources
and teeming with reports and statistics
relative to points of Interest , has just been
published in book form by thd Union Pacific
railway.
Credit for the compilation of this Im
portant information is due the passenger
department of the Union Pacific , and books
of a like nature , descriptive of Kansas and
Colorado , have been published. The pref
ace gives a general outline of the book as
follows :
"Within the boundaries of Nebraeka are
vast areas of the most fertile and produc
tive.soil on the continent. It is nearly all
amble , and every acre Is valuable either for
pasture or farming. There Is almost au
entire absence of waste land. The Plattc ,
Republican , Elkhorn , Loup and Nlobram are
the principal Interior rivers , all moving
from west to east , or southeast. Each of
these 'large ' streams has numberless tribu
taries. The bottom lands along the rivers
are especially fertile , though hilly land Is
much preferred for general farming. A eu-
porlor system of public schools and an In
exhaustible state fund from which to main
tain them ; churches in every village and al
most every valley : railroads fairly grldlron-
ing the state , and a meet luvlgoratlng and
healthy climate , combine to make Nebraska
desirable , in every sense of the term , for
a residence. The wonderful fertility of Its
eoll and Its great depth assure the husband
man satisfactory returns for his labor for h
long period. Being adapted to all cereals ,
orchard and vineyard crops , and producing
luxuriant pasturage , Nebraska offers especial
inducements to agricultural settlers and
stock growers. The railways afford quick
and cheap transportation to excellent local
and foreign markets. By the system of
freight rates In force on the lines leading to
and Into Nebraska , the producer on the Ne
braska plains is at no disadvantage with hie
cnntcrn Iowa neighbors , so far as marketing
his products Is concerned , Grain brings as
much In an Interior city in Nebraska as It
does In an Interior city in Iowa. Besides
thlu , a market Is being created in tbo rain
ing and stock-growing regions to the west , "
Growth of Nebraska.
The relationship of tbo Union Pacific
railroad to the growth of Nebraska la
Given , in part , as follows :
"Tho Important part played by the Union
Pacific In the development of the state of
Nebraska cannot be estimated by any ar
ray of figures. The construction of tha
road , its rlso and triumphs , are a part of
the history of the state , and the record of
the prosperity of the road also witnesses
the growth and increasing wealth of this
grand young : commonwealth. Since that
memorable day In July , 1865 , when the first
rail was laid , the Union Pacific has been
a strong Jrlend and helper to the state.
Today the Nebraska division of the road
covers 973 miles of track that Is , the main
line and branches. Vast regions of fertile
country have thus been opened up to set-
tlera , and great areas of land brought by
rail Into close communion with the metro
politan centers and markets. Thriving
cities , villages , towns and hamlets have
sprung up In every section traversed by the
line ; the state In twenty-three years has
grown from 122,000 to over 1,230,000 In
habitants , and with a hundred-fold Increase
In all the many-sided phases of commercial ,
material and Intellectual prosperity. There
are but few examples of surprising growth
equal to Nebraska , The population in 1855
was 4,494 ; in I860 , 28,841 ; In 1870 , 122,993 ;

There will be the regular monthly mootIng -
Ing of the Board or Education tonight. It
is expected that steps will bo taken 10 pro
ceed at once with the rep.Uia on Iho dlflol-
ent buildings In order that the school rooms
may be ready for the puplli next month.
Bids for alterations l.i the heating appa
ratus In a number of ' .ho buildings will be
opened nnd It Is exuJiMul that < oino con
tracts will be let. Bids fur gradlnn Urn lots
at Twentieth and O streets will also bo
opened nt this time.
So far the board has not been servM with
an Injunction , but sometuiiof . the tort
limy happen today. It Is unilerfltool that
certain property owners In the Second ward
do not favor the eltc selected by the board
and will endeavor to have the'courts In
terfere.
The first plan was to have an injunction
obtained on the ground that Twentieth Is a
business street and therefore not a suitable
place for a school building. This reason
was not considered sufficient by the attorney
engaged by thceo who are opposed to the
location of the school building and another
plan has been adopted. This new plan will
call for an injunction for the reason that
the appropriation was not legally made. In
speaking about the matter yesterday a mem
ber of the board said that the board's at
torney , T. J. Nolan , had given the matter
considerable thought and that all of the reso.
lutlons and motions passed by the board at
the time the levy was made were drawn by
the attorney. At this time $20,000 was ap
propriated for "new buildings and sites. "
It Is asserted by those who oppose the erec
tion of the proposed building that this appro
priation was not made according to law
and will therefore bo knocked out.
It Is regretted In some circles that such
a feeling exists In the Second ward against
the erection of a school building on the site
chosen. If the case Is carried into the
courts It may be some time before it is
settled and the proposed building may not
be erected for a year. One member of the
board said yesterday that ho was in favor
of changing the location to the north side
of N street , thus placing the school house
In the Fliflt ward. lie did not think that
the First warders would Interfere with the
actions of the board or appeal to the courts
when It came to a selection of n site. By
erecting the school house north of N street
the same object would be attained and the
board would escape a lot of llfilculty which
Is being brought about by those who failed
to sell their building sites.

At 6:30 : o'clock next Sunday the corner

the ceremony , while the sermon will be de
livered by Rev. W. Everett Johnson of the
Church cf the Redeemer of New York City.
Rev. Johnson Is a brother of the present
rector of St. Martin's church. The founda
tions of the building arc about completed
and It Is expected that after the laying of
the cornerstone the structure will be pushed
to completion.

During the month of July 39,839 head of
cadtle , 198,114 head of hogs and 28,741 head
of sheep were slaughtered at the packing
houses here. The receipts nt the yards were
In excess of tbo figures given , but the ship
ments to the country make the difference
between the actual receipts and the number
cf killed. It Is expected that shipments of
cattle from the range country will commence
about the middle of this month. There has
been a decrease In the marketing of hogs
during the last week , but prices still hold
at about the same figures as the week be
fore.
