The attractive powers of the Hcllstcdt
band were proved by the unusually largo at
tendance last night , without nny other spa-
clal feature except the fireworks to draw
the populace.
The I'laza was filled with a crowd of on-
thuslnstlc music lovers who applauded every
number to the echo , and Ucllstcdt was thu
Jlon of the hour.
The afternoon concert was one of oxtrcmo
interest and was lUtencd to by one of the
blcKCHt matinee audiences of the scasun.
Air. Dellstcdt clayed a cornet solo which
Avas well received and the soloist responded
to the generous approbation with another
number.
The evening concert was made up of some
of the best Kerns In the repertoire of the
band. It closed with the ever-popular
"Stars and Stripes. "
The soloists uf this band dcscrvo more
than passing notice and they will bo heard
In special work this week. The wonder
ful work of the exceptionally talontcd drum
mer and "battery" man , Mr. Nlckcll , has
attracted much attention. Ills dynamic
effects are moro than ordinarily strong and
his delicate work is Interesting.
The playing In ensemble Is marked by
specially careful treatment and it shows
earnest rehearsal.
'Mr. ' Ilcllstedt will slve request programs
every Friday cvcnlnc and Sunday after
noon. Those who wish to bo entertained
in listening to their favorite compositions
can hand the names to the conductor , or
mall them to the musical director.
A move Is on foot to arrange for a length
ening of the time devoted to the evening
concerts and will doubtless bo taken under
advisement in the near future by the ex
ecutive committee. The creat majority of
the people wbo attend these concerts nro
Omaha people who have scon the Midway , or
most of it , and they do not like the Idea of
having the concerts begin and close so
early , as they feel that It looks like an in
vitation to go through the attractlous of
Vanity Fair.
Y ; PAID OMAHA A 1IIUKP VISIT.
> Exenmlon I'nrtjr of Cincinnati En
quirer Cluli TnkoH In Exposition.
Ono hundred and sixty members of the
Cincinnati Enquirer Household club arrived
in Omaha yesterday evening at 6 o'clock in
a epoclal train of Wagner sleepers , via the
Burlington. The visitors remained hero until
10:30 : o'clock , when they resumed tholr
Journey westward , after having spent the
evening nt the Greater America , exposition.
The club to which the members of this
party belong Is a social and literary organi
zation , established about tun years ago for
the promotion of greater educational im
provement , to advance the cause of
temperance in all things , to elevate the
standard of morals In society and promote
true friendship and social Intercourse among
its members.
Ono of the principal attractions of this
club are annual Journeys to various parts
cf the country. This year the outing trip
selected includes a visit to Omaha , Denver
and surrounding attractions. Salt Lake City ,
returning to Cincinnati via Kansas City and
St. Louis. It is its tenth annual excursion
'and 'Will cover a distance , including sldo
trips , of about 4.C80 miles. Twelve days
will bo occupied by the trip.
The * annual outings have proven of such
great success that there Is Always a lively
demand for admission into the excursion
party. This year the limit was placed at
160 , but long after the lists had been filled
there were applications from many hun
dreds who necessarily had to be disap
pointed as It is an inexorable rule that no
moro than the number agreed upon can he
admitted. The limit c-t .membership in the
excursion trip this year was set with regard
to the comfort and enjoyment of those who
should accompany the party and overcrowdIng -
\ Ing has thus been avoided. The annual
Jf outlngHrips have become famous for their
fc' marvelous elegance and order. The people
who participate in them are representatives
of the beet aocial circles , and , while the cost
of the Journey Is extremely low , this is not
alone the reason for their popularity.
Omaha was highly honored by the club
this year , as the only stop enrouto from Cin
cinnati to Denver was the ono made In this
city last night. Upon the arrival of the
party yesterday evening a reception com
mittee , representing the executive committee
of the Greater America exposition , was on
hand to welcome the members of the club to
Omaha. They were immediately taken to the
exposition grounds , wfccro the evening
proved a dollghtfut one and the guests were
churned with the magnificence and beauty
apparent on every hand.
Among the members' of tbo club who
visited Omaha -were eomo of the prominent
business and professional men of the United
States , as well as a number of women who
have attained distinction in educational and
literary circles. In all , forty different .towna
and cities were represented. Among the
officers who accompanied the party were Dr.
H. AI. Zehrung of Connorsvllle , Ind , , presi
dent , and Hire. B. Shldeler Lltehlser of

CITY OF LINCOLN ENJOINED
Federal Court Will Inquire Into Jimt-

illB ( UK HlltCI.
A restraining order hast been Issued by
Judge 'Munger ' and served upon tbo execu
tive officers of the city of Lincoln preventing
the city from enforcing an ordinance regu
lating gas rates. The order was asked for
by the Lincoln Gas company.
Several months ago ( he city council of Lin
coln passed an ordinance fixing the price ol
gas per 1,000 feet at U-35 net. This was a
reduction in the price of Illuminating gas o !
45 cents , the price fixed by the ordinance
being the not price charged by the company
for fuel gas. The council acted on the as
sumption that ae the company was selling
the same gas at two different prices It couM
sell at the lower price at a profit. The com
pany claimed that it was only when the gas
was used lu largo quantities , as It was ( or
fuel , that it could be sold for the less rate.

Professional hunters living In the vicinity
of Ord have made themselves liable to the
law because of wholesafu destruction ol
prnlrie chickens during the past few days ,
and several have been arrested. The game
law prohibits the killing of these birds at
this season of the year , but the hunters , In
their desire to realize from the sale of them ,
have paid no attention to the law. One
thousand prairie chickens were shipped from
Ord and Intermediate points Monday , con
signed to Omaha packers , but they never
reached tholr destination , as officers raided
the express car between Burwell and Aurora
and stopped the shipment. A consignment
of 200 was seized at Central City last weak.
Omaha sportsmen express the hope thai
the offenders who have been disregarding
the Taw will be severely punished. The re
gion where they are operating Is alive with
prairie chickens at this season , but their
destruction now takes off many of the young
birds and practically ruins hunting during
the months thut it is permitted by the game
law.

SIOUX FALLS , S. D.Aug 15. ( Special. )
Reports received hero from various portions
of South Dakota vary somewhat ns to the
probable wheat yields , In some Instances It
being claimed that the injury In some sec
tions by dry weather will not prove as great
ns was leared. In other cases estimates
place the yield of wheat at various amounts
per acre , whllo In many localities only the
facts ahown by the threshing returns will
determine the yield. Wheat harvest has
been completed lu many parts of the st.ito
and this week will sec all of this year's
wheat crop gathered. The following crop
Items have been selected at random nnd ac
curately show the conditions in the localities
covered :
In the vicinity of Bradley wheat harvest
Is In full fliwt and the crop Is the finest that
locality has had for several years.
Practically all the wheat In Moody county
has been cut. A few of the farmers have
some grain threshed. More or less of the
wheat Is shrunken and the grade will b
affected thereby , but not a small per cent
will bo of a No. 1 grade.
In the vicinity of Alexandria , Hanson
county , small grain Is all cut and stacking
Is lu order. The estimate of the wheat
yield varies greatly. In some Instances It
will go as low as eight bushels to the acre
and In others as high as twenty.
Many of the farmers In the vicinity of
Alpena , Jcrauld county , say the wheat crop
In that section will bo fully as good as the
crop of lost year.
Around Aberdeen It Is said that since
fanners have got well Into the harvest little
Is heard about shrunken wheat , but that
most all are satisfied that the sample will
bo much bolter than has been anticipated.
C. J. Hezcl of Eureka predicts that moro
grain will be marketed there than ever be
fore. J. W. Guhln says : "Thero will bo
moro grain 'handled ' nt this point this com
ing season than was handled during the
season of 1892 , when there was shipped
from Eureka 3,300' cars of grain , nnd the
sales showed 1,800,000 bushels of wheat mar
keted here. "
In the vicinity of Henry , Codtngton
county , the crop will be an average ono. It
will be as good as the average for the past
ten years. It will not be what It promised
a month ago. Had It held up to prospects
of ono month ago It would have been a
"bumper. "
In the neighborhood of Dell Rapids , Mln-
nehaha county , some of the wheat -was
badly crinkled and made the work of cut
ting a little slow. Oats stood up In good
shape tenernlly. The yield of wheat will
be fair to good , and the quality better than
was expected. There will too a great deal
of wheat that will grade No. 1 , nnd not much
that will grade lower than No. 2. The yield
will probably be in the neighborhood of
fifteen 'bushels to the acre. Oats , barley and
flax will be an average crop. Corn Is doing
well.
well.Around
Around Scotland , Bon Homme county , the
small grain Is nearly nil In the shock. Had
It not been for the showers a couple of
days last week considerable stacking would
have been done. The yield and quality -will
not bo as good as the prospects Indicated
three -weeks ago , but the general belief Is
that it will be about anaverage , crop.
Hand county's crop of grain Is pronounced
to bo better than It has been since 1892. It
Is somewhat streaked that is , big in some
parts and moderate In others but , on the
whole very good. Wheat was so far along
that the recent heated spell did not do as
much damage as was anticipated. Of course ,
it will take the thresher's record to show
what the actual yield Is in various localities ,
but the estimates place It all the way from
ten to twenty-five bushels per acre for
wheat.
Some few cases of threshing are reported.
Walter Nellls , a Bon Hommo county farmer ,
threshed thirty acres ofwheat , which aver
aged twelve and three-fourth bushels per
aero , and graded No. 2. James Quinn , a
farmer living near Artesian , Sanborn county ,
Is threshing out part of his wheat crop , and
Is agreeably surprised to find that it Is
yielding fifteen bushels per aero and grading
No. 1. llartln Martinson , a Moody county
farmer , has threshed some barley , the
average yield being about forty bushels per
acre.

CHEYENNE , Wyo. , Aug. 15. ( Special1. )
The Union Pacific has commenced the work
of lengthening all of the utdo tracks be
tween this city and Ogden. a step which
Is necessitated by the long trains which
are now being hauled over tbo road. With
the purchase of larger and stronger loco
motives and freight cars the company was
enabled to lengthen Its trains very consid
erably , and , as two trains are oftea com
pelled to pass in on ono side track to per
mit a train going In the opposite direction
to pass , much delay la often caused by these
sidings being too short to accommodate the
trains. Klfty men1 are now at work at
Corfett and Doric , the first side tracks west
of Cheyenne , building additional passing
tracks.
A special train of grading machinery and
about fifty men passed through Cheycnno

as rapidly as men and horses can bo se
cured.
