The three-fold excellence of Mr. Herman Dellitedt la one of the things that ma'xo him great with the Omaha public. Ho Is not a bandmaster only , but Is so well known would .be known from an a comr > oscr that ho Ills compositions alono. His marches and humoresques are too -well known to need commendation or oven mention. Not n pro gram but has one or more of hla admlr.i- 1)1 e pieces on It and the humorous pieces of his composition toavo already won scores of admirers , and they are the ones largely called for as encores , oven when classical music Is the order. An a man , as n leader of the band , as a composer and an a virtuoso ho stands -without a superior and has estab lished himself strong In the affections of the peopla of Omaha und surrounding coun try. As a , woman ot distinguished musical talent remarked , "Tho saddest thing about the exposition Is when the last number Is being played and -wo know that wo must soon leave and wait another twenty-four hours for another night of rare and re freshing melody. " Ilnllatcdt Tins been In Omaha but three days , and the audiences have Jumped from a few hundred about the bandstand to as many thousands. While the evening con certs have -wonderfully grown In attendance Mid popular favor , the afternoons at the Auditorium hava sprung , as If by magic , Into favor and hundreds are there eren be fore the hour set for the concert. The quality of the program Is very superior , bolng made up ot the standard and popular V classics , the humorous , the modern and catchy , all finding favor as oncoreo , greatly to the delight of these loving that charac ter of entertainment , and while the lovers of th standard classics are not a few , there are thousands who are fond of va riety , which , In music as In other things , is the elixir of life. Bellstedt is a band leader who studies his people , discovers what they want and ( has the rare good sense to give that which plcasos , having a storehouse filled to the brim with all classes of music and a band that can give "Yankee Doodle , " "A Hot Time , " or one of the grand sonorous clas sics with flro , dash and precision that pleases and captivates. There Is also a charm and a piquancy about the rendering of music that makes It more than music , oven a delicious dream , that drives dull care away and rejuvenates the weary brain , resting the tired body. Dellstodt has made a study not only of music , Its making , playing , but also the people to whom he plays , and as a leader these things are carefully considered. While great as a leader and composer , < Bellstedt's. greatness Is perhaps most marked as a cornetlot , where he Is simply a king , having no superior , as John Philip Sousa says , and few If any equals In the world. As one 'woman remarked , he can como as near making the cornet talk an any man on the face ot the earth. It Is no trouble for one at all acquainted with music to tell Just what he la playing. In .this role he has marched Into the affections ot ' , > ij | the people of the exposition and Is already mnfiter of the situation. Marked as his renditions are , they are no Jess so than are the selections , which never fall to be ap propriate to the occasion and Just the right thing In 'the right place. This Is one really grrnt thing for a musician to know , and Ilollstedt recognizes the fact. SCB.VES ALONG THE MIDWAY. The .Streets of IMcnunrc Arc Thronped Onuc More tvltli SlKlitncern. The Midway was thronged Wednesday with sightseers and the Hawaiian Village received Its share of the patronage. The na tive 'Umoke players have proved great at tractions thcro and the unique musical In- ntrumcnts arc a source of much curiosity on the part of visitors. The Scenic Railway Is proving ono of the stellar amusements of the merry street. The ( beautiful pictures are a never ending source of delight and to the young people the tunnel has many attractions. Children of all ages besieged the merry- go-round Wednesday afternoon and the cheerful shouts of the happy children were 't heard for blocks. Llttlo fellows clung like , ' , j- monkeys to the backs of ferocious looking * lions , but the little girls were content Ji' * to rldo around in the seats provided for * 1 them , ' ' The light breezes stirred the water back * * * of the Chutes cafe Wednesday and the atmosphere - , , mosphoro In that popular resort was cool ' * and refreshing. The attentive waiters of ' \ the place make it a desirable spot to rest " ' ; f" und partake of refreshments while doing fi the sights , of the Midway. ' , In the Moorish Palace , with Its many po- , , cullnr sights and bewildering array of nov- , ' cities , there nro many things of more than ; - ' , passlnc Interest to bo soon , , ' \ The Cyclorama attracts many visitors , e - pcclally among the old soldiers , yet there are many things to Interest these who have , , never seen war. Several veterans who took t'v part In the battle of Missionary Rldgo have been to ECO the painting within the lust few days , and they oil pronounce it an exact representation of the famous battle. It was gala night on tbo Streets of Cairo Wednesday night. A battle ot confetti was ono of the chief amusements , and it at tracted much attention. La Belle Izalah ullll continues to bo ono of tno most popular stars on the Midway , Her charming pcrson- nllty , coupled with her beauty of person , has made her a reigning favorite with the pub lic. lic.Tho The ladles of the World's Congress ot Drautlos took in the parade of all cations Wednesday in their wheel chairs , They were covered with white veils , and after viewing the parade Joined in at the loot end and passed out to the Midway. IMOMJIiHS' HAHVKST IIOMIS MAV. Ohl Settler * Will Have u liny nt ( lie Hxiumltlnn III Ootolier. Hon. J. Sterling Morton ot Nebraska City , the well known pioneer newspaper man of Ifobraska and ex-secretary ot agriculture , was a pleased visitor to the exposition Wednesday , and was shown the grounds un der the personal supervision of President Miller. Mr. Morton was present in the In terest of a day to bo set apart for the pioneers neers ot the state which the management .will . call the pioneers' harvest home day , This , celebration will take place some time during tbe month ot October. Prom all In dications it will be a great day , and ono that will call to Omaha a great many of the men and women who have made the state what it ii today. Mr Morton , whose long residence In the state and whoio wide acquaintance , made through his official connection with many so cieties , will bo ot inestimable value , has volunteered his most hearty co-operation In arranging for the dny and has promised to preside over the meeting. All the officers of county organizations throughout the state are asked to take notice of the proposed cel ebration and arc requested to correspond either with Mr. Morton or with the exposi tion management. J. A-mos Uarrett of the State Historical society will bo the secretary of the meeting.

It h the plan to make the affair one ot peculiar pleasure to the older people , those who have grown gray In tbe state , and the program will be of nucli a nature as to please tbe pioneers. Mr. Morton was highly pleased with the exposition In all its different parts and so expressed himself to President Miller and others. He said he booed that the enter prise would go on from success to success and predicted good things for the show from now on. He will , throuzh the columns ot his paper , the Conservative , endeavor to show forth to the people the advantages ot the exposition , and especially will ho ad vertise the meeting ot the old settlers. Nmv HAM ) IS ( MOST I'OI'lTOAlt. Ilrllnicilt linn Alrcnilr Won III * Wny ( o Affection * of the I'coplc. The merry chatter ot many children en livened the exposition grounds Wednesday and the cool weather made the day one ot delight , not only to the younger genera tion , but to the many older people who went out to view the sights and listen to the mcuslc afforded 'by the day's program. Ono thing noticeable was the Increasing number of out-of-town people , The cooler weather is doubtless ono ot the causes. Within the last few days all hands have begun to feel more optimistic. The man agement Is encouraged and the people who operate the concessions have also exchanged their Indigo goggles for rosy-hued specta cles , through which they see indications for yet greater numbers and attendant suc cesses. Ono ot the chief amusements afforded for the entertainment ot visitors was the con cert by the Dollstcdt band. The Auditorium was well filled when the opening notes ot the first selection were sounded. Following tbo concert , a congress of all nations was held In which the inhabitants ot tbo dif ferent countries of the earth took part. Red men , with their war paint , sat side by side with the slant-eyed celestial , and the brown Filipino touched elbows with the swarthy Cuban. Thcro were Turks and Ha- wailans and all sorts and conditions of men and women on the platform. Speeches were raado and an Interesting program was car ried out. Pnrnde of All Nation * . Immediately following the congress the participants fllcd out ot the building and formed In procession to march around the Lagoon. This was called the Parade of All Nations and was a unique spectacle. The Indian band headed the long line of march ers and played stirring music during the slow walk around the body ot water. Fol lowing them were the Indians In their war paint and feathers , and after that came the Hawallans , Swiss , Egyptians , Filipinos and Cubans with a number of straggling clowns and the usual accompaniment of shrill- voiced boys. - Tbo procession mas a fascinating sight with the cosmopolitan gathering ot peoples , the kaleidoscopic coloring of costume and the melange of musical sounds. The chil dren , who -were present In great numbers , were especially pleased with the strange sight and were loud in their shouU of pleas ure and eager In their curiosity to see all there was to bo seen. The shows along the Midway were well patronized during the afternoon , and the crowd in the evening was ot largo proportions. Today' * .Munlcnl . Program.

" Splcnillil Opeiilnir for n Ilnllrond. SIOUX CITY. la. , Aug. 16. ( Special. ) A great deal of Interest Is taken in railway circles In tbe proposal ot the Illinois Central to build a short line from Cherokee to Sioux City. This would probably mean an extension of the line Into South Dakota , as for some time It has been hinted that thU company would Invade the territory of the 'Milwaukee. ' A splendid opening is to be found for a road up the Missouri river Into the Charles Mix country , but already the Milwaukee baa a party ot surveyors In tbe field locating a route to run from Tyn- klall , south to Armour into tbe Bijou hills. Hallway building is being talked In earn est In Sioux City and vicinity , and it is certain that this part of the state is to have one if not more roadi within tbe next year. _ iSOUTH OMAHA NEWS. 1 brf > . * , i > Afr < ! i lJ The repairs now being made to the Q street viaduct by the stock yard and Union Pacific companies have called attention to the condition of the west approach of the L street viaduct. When the railroads repaired the L street bridge 250 feet ot the west approach preach was lett for the cjty to repair , as the law defines Just how many feet of approach preach railroad companies must repair. The approach Is in a really dangerous condition , the roadway having sagged In a number ot places from six to twelve inches. Many of the piles supporting the approach are rotten and need rcolaclnc , while the planking on both the roadway and sidewalks Is in a very bad condition. Several holes have appeared In the roadway and a number ot accidents have been narrowly averted lately. In speak ing about this matter yesterday Mayor En- ser said that some time ago the city engi neer made an estimate ot the cost of the re pairs to the approach and so reported to the council , but no orders for the repairs were Issued. At that time the engineer fig ured that the work could bo done for about { 200 , but as U has run so long now the ex pense will no doubt bo greater. The mayor thinks that the portion ot the bridge had ought < to bo fixed at once and has declared bis Intention ot bringing the matter to the attention of the council next Monday night. As the 1899 levy is available now the mayor is of tbo opinion that the street commis sioner can do the work under the supervis ion ot the city engineer. This will obviate the necessity of advertising for bids and will Insure the completion of the work before cold weather sets in. As It will take some little time to secure material the mayor thinks that the council should authorize the expenditure at once. Under existing cir cumstances the street commissioner is com pelled to visit the viaduct almost dally and nail down a plank or two or Insert a patch In the sidewalk. This constant patching has made the roadway so rough that driving faster than a walk is almost out of the question. The scraping of the Q street viaduct con tinues , but this work will most likely be completed .within the next tow days and then the palntlnc will commence. Material for the rcplanktng of the bridge has not ar rived yet and It may bo thirty days before the lumber can reach hero as all ot the mills are rushed with orders. Democratic I'rlmnrlcH Today. A lively tlmo is expected at the demo cratic primaries to bo held today. Voting booths have been arranged for In each of the four wards and Interest In the outcome Is growing right along.

' IA couple ot years ago the city council un dertook to Improve the appearance of Twenty-fourth street toy passing an ordi nance directing the motor company to replace - place its old wooden motor poles with orna mental iron ones. When the ordinance went into effect the officers of the motor company protested on account of the ex pense , etc. , and a compromise was finally effected whereby the company agreed to place iron poles as fast as the wooden poles became useless. A few Iron poles were located , but the majority of the old wooden poles are still standing.
