THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : WEDNESDAY , ATJGFST 10 , 1899. MUSIC PLEASES EVERYBODY * * Bellitedt'i Band is Proving a Great Oard at the Eipoiitlon. NEBRASKA EDITORS HAVE ENJOYABLE DAY Hxctirfilnn I'nrty of ( he Clnclnnntl in < | tilrrr HoiiHcliold Clnh Minim in Oinnlin mid TnUoN lit the DlK SlioiT. 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.

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.

SOUTH DAKOTA CROP YIELD Injury to Soma Sections from Dry Weather Not as Great as First Estimated. WHEAT IS MOSTLY IN SHOCK OR STACK TheA > crane Yield of Small flrnlnn Will iiinl | that of 1ND2 ( irailen Arc a Mtllc Ilelinv the 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.

( Special Tele gram. ) The work of the State Board of As sessment and Equalization was completed last night and tbo closing work was marked by several hot passages between Governor Leo and other members of the board , which was called out by the attempt of the gov ernor to secure as a part of the record a resolution declaring the republican members of the hoard to have been unfair In their actions and In the verbal row the governor Intimated to Treasurer Schamber that when the treasurer desired to Issue emergency warrants the governor would have tome- thing to say as to whether they should bo Issued.

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 this morning enrouto to Bangor , on the Cheyenne & Northern , where- grading wag commenced a few days ago on tbo now Hartvlllo spur. This work will bo pushed as rapidly as men and horses can bo se cured. During the last spring , or elnco the openIng - Ing of the gravel pits at Sherman , there have been a number of accidents to gravel trains coming down the mountain. Today orders were issued by the assistant superintendent In Laramlo to the effect that all graver trains shall stop at least live tlractj enrouto from the Sherman gravel pits to Cheyenne , and during these stops the cars shall bo carefully inspected and the nlr brakes tested. ' Hot boxes Miall ho al lowed to cool before the Journey down the hilt Is resumed. General Superintendent Harris of the Wyoming division left for the west this morning on an Inspection trip.
