CORNERSTONE PUT IS PLACE Weather Maker Finall PsnniU Cersmoniei at Auditorium Building. SENATOR MILLARD PRINCIPAL SPEAKER Aettoa Mayor Karr. T. J. Me honey sad Alfred Millard Also) Eiprru tlments on the Pablla En terprlae of Omaha. Amid the applause of the multitude, ora tory, music, flowers and the rattle of traf fic; the cornerstone of the Omaha Au ditorium was laid Saturday afternoon, and now, with a copper box full of "exhibits" In Its core, rests securely In Its bed of mortar. There Is no possible doubt that It was an epoch-marking event In the his tory of Omaha, sines each of the Ave ora tors so declared It, and each denies that the declsratlon was the result of a precon certed agreement. It was also gathered from the speeches that the building of the Auditorium Indicated a transition from sordid commercialism to a more exalted Intellectual plane, and that it was a monu ment to the civic pride of everyone who had contributed toward Its construction. Alfred Millard acted as master of cere monies, and delivered the first address. He was followed by Acting Mayor Karr, who spoke briefly la behalf of the city. Then T. J. Mahoney presented the matter from the standpoint of the Auditorium company and the Commercial club. Sena tor Millard who made the principal ad dress, took an optimistic view of Omaha's future, and spoks in glowing term of the enterprise which had made such a struc ture as the Omaha Auditorium a pcssl blllty. J. R. Lehmer read off a list ot the articles which had been placed In the her metlcally sealed copper box, to be con signed to the heart of the cornerstone. P. E. Sanborn, who bad arisen from a sick bed to be present, made the closing ad dress, and afterward, figuratively laid the stone. , Thousand People Attend. It was estimated that there were about 1,000 people present, and of these the greater number stood In the street, in the boiling sun, throughout the somewhat lengthly program. Among those who occupied seats on the platform were the following: Senator Mil lard. Judge W. W. 81abaugh, John C. Bar nard, Emil Cermak, J. E. Sunderland, J, Frank Carpenter, U N. Qonden, H. F. Mc intosh, Fred Stubbendorf, E. M. Andree- sen, Oeorge F. Lee, H. K. Burket, H. N. Wood, Peter E. Her, M. C. Peters. J. J, Donahue, CA F. Wheeler, C. 8. Elgutter, C. O. Pearse," John Steel, James Walsh, James Dinning.' J. E. Utt, T. J. Mahoney, Alfred Millard. Isaao Hascall, M. D. Karr and Frank Hamilton. The cornerstone, which was a great block of Bedford (Ind.) atone, of steel gray color, weighing 4,000 pounds, , was suspended from a derrick leaning against the northeast corner of the building, and by means of block and tackle was held about eighteen Inches above the bed of Omaha-made brick, upon which It waa destined to rest. In response to a signal. John Latsnser, architect, and F. E. San born stepped down from the platform to the top course ot brick, and Abbott's band struck up "The Dance of the White Rats." a selection, by the way, which will be played at the formal opening of the Auditorium. It is the Auditorium tune Then came bricklayers In white duck over alls, bearing trowels. They were: John 8. Ferris, John Kline, Theodore Barg, Au gust Jranewskl and Ed Llnosky, In charge ot W. P. . Deverell, foreman. Mr. Ferris spread a layer of mortar under the block; Mr. Sanborn put the copper box In place; the band struck up "America." and the signal was given to lower away. A roar ot applause went up as the stone sank into its moist bed. Then the handsome young woman, Miss Nellie Rubin, threw garlands ot smllax and roses upon the block: It was announced that U50 bad been realised from the recent policeman's ball game, a check for which had been pre sented to the building committee. Alfred Millard Speaks. Alfred Millard spoke In part as follows This la one of the victories of peace-- a constructive, not a destructive victory the reward ot nonest, earnest endeavor, and we who have labored so lonr. come here today satisfied with our work, to congratulate you wno nave so generously allied us to this end. For it is an end, as well as a beginning sn end ot doubt as to the building of an Auditorium and the be-srlr-nlna- of a noble structure. In this day of commercialism. In this rush of eager competition for wealtn, wnen men measure dollars and dollars measure men. It is well that we should una an nour line mis irons tlm to time, or If necessary make an occasion like this for the contemplation of an important fact, namely, that it Is not enough to build a city, to work and die In, but one to live in, ana mai city ana muse faeople who best appreciate this truth are n the long run the most successful. While our business Interests are uncommonly nrnsrieroua. It la most wise for us to con- alder an enterprise which makes for the happiness ana contentment or tne people, ami It is my nrophecy that one day our parks and boulevards, our Auditorium and other features of like character which con duce to the holiday spirit among us, will be found to be our most important and valuable possessions. We shall have a building nere wmcn win be an artistic triumph for the man who conceived It. Its graceful llnee and splen did proportions will appeal to all who visit our city and be a constant source of pleas ure and inspiration to us wno live nere. Bo today let us consecrate ourselves anew to Its completion, because It Is the work which lies nearest us, because the dignity Of our city and the voice- of the people tmnnd it. And we will build a temnle In the spirit of unselfishness, whose noble front shalj Dear tne eeai ot our civic pride ana tne puruy vi im iiurfun win ue a legacy to our children. Acting Mayor Karr spoke briefly of the progreea made by Omaha in the last few years. He remembered the time when the Coliseum was considered much lsrger than necessary and something of an architectural extravagance. Talks for Aadltorlasa Company T. J. Mahoney compared the buldlng te the advent of the Union Pacific railroad, to tbe establishment ot the South Omaha Stock yards snd to the Transmlsalsslppl Ex position. ''It may not mean so much to Omaha In a commercial way aa these. said he, "but In tbe world of religion, ot art, of science and ot learning it will mean vastly more." J. R. Lehmer read the following list of articles which were placsd la ths corner stone: History of the Omaha Auditorium build Ing project from (te Inception to preaent lime.

There Is a disease prevailing In this country most danperous because so decep tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it heart disease, pneumonia, heart (allure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney disease. II kidney trouble Is al lowed to advance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles most always result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure Is obtained quickest by a proper treatment ot the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scald ing pain In passing It, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get yp many limes during tne night.

Senator Millard began his address by call lng attention to aome of the landmarks by which the city, county and state have reached tbelr present commercial Import' ance, He resumed: Today the state of Nebraska has a bod ulatlon in the neighborhood of 1,200,000 and within a radius of five miles from where we are now standing It Is reasonable to say we have a population close to 200.000. including Council bluffs, which is to a cer tain extent tributary to the business In terests of this stale.- as Is also a large por tion of western Iowa. The trade of Omaha at the present time reaches westward as far aa the Paclflo slope and It will not be very long until we effect trade relations witn our new possessions in ma isr east. W. have aoma of the most enternrialnar merchants to be found anywhere; our panning institutions are ot tne Deat ana i think the deposits of the several banks amount to very nearly tSu,000,OuO, which shows that there is a large amount of business doing and to be done In this metropolis. From one end of the state to the other our people are more prosperous than ever before. I find from the census report of 1900 that we had In Nebraska 6,414 manufacturing establishments, with a capital of about 172,000,000; the value ot the material used was $10:,000.000, while the value ot the finished products amounted to fl44.noo.00O. Douglas county had 1.013 factorlea and mills, with a capital of $51,W0,000, the cost or material used being 83,BW,oiin, with a finished product valued at $15,500,000. Thus it will be seen that very close to SO per cent or. tne vaiue or tne entire manufac tured output of the state of Nebraska In 1900 was produced In Douglas county, and 1 take it that a showing of conditions as they exist today would be very much more encouraging ror tne county tnan tne ng urea nere given. Optimistic View of Fa tore. With the western portion of the state ot Iowa, together with our atate and the country west of ua naturally tributary to this city, It is reasonable to predict that our growth in material wealth, culture, in telligence and the comforts of life is cer tain to continue with greater rapidity than In the past and there Is no reason to doubt that ten years hence Omaha will have at least 200,000 people and that the state of Nebraska can then boast ot a population of nearly 2,000,000. We are building for the future. This great structure you have undertaken to erect win oe none too large to accommo date the various conventions, assemblies, convocatlona. concerta and other anter. talnmenta requiring a commodious meeting place In the state and city, yet Its massive proportions will stand for years as a mon ument to the public spirit and pluck of tne men ana women oi umuna. We have reached an epoch in our munirl Eal history when the aspirations of our eat rltisenshlp strive for higher objects than the accumulation of property for the mere satisfaction of possessing It. We have done well so far In providing the ma terial thlnge of life; we must now devote more of our energies and talents to the promotion and encouragement of the arts. A deep-seated desire to do this found splendid expression in our exposition of liws and the publio tastes thus cultivated ave rise to the agitation for an audi. torlum which when finished will facilitate a long-rherished plan In the minds of our educators, artists and musicians, who are doing moat valuable work In ministering to me arusuv sense oi mis xonunaie com munlty. I wish to congratulate you and the cltt sena of Omaha generally upon the avl. deuces of progress made In the work of promotion ot this great enterprise and am sure we all entertain the hope that after Its completion, which I trust may not be lr in tne luiure. your nignest expectation! of Us sucess, artistically and financially, ui.j lifiu auuuuaui realisation.

On Monday night the city council will be up against two propositions. On will be a remonstrance against tbe passage of tho ordinance introduced by Adklns granting to tbe Omaha Water company an extension ot Its franchise for ten years from October, 1904. The other petition to be considered Is one from the people living In tbe dis tricts where It Is proposed to extend the mains and locate forty-eight additional hy drants. In talking about this matter last night one of the members of the council said: A committee waited upon the officers of the water company to learn what could be done in regard to the extending of mains and tbe locating of a number of hydrants. The matter was talked over thoroughly and tbe question of royalty came up, when It waa suggested by someone that the term of tbe present franchise be extended. OfQ cers of the company declared positively that no royalty would be paid. However, they agreed to make concessions which, In the opinion of tbe committee, will amount to a great deal more than the proposed royalty. By the placing ot forty-eight ad ditional hydrants at this time many small property owners will be provided with city water aa well as with fire protection. The growth of tbe city demands that there should be an extension ot the mains. These hydrants are to be free to the city for two years and paid for at the rate of $r0 a year after 1904. Then again tbe company agrees to furnish water free to the school houses and city buildings and for flushing sewers and the streets. Another concession offered wss the placing of meters at the expense of tbe company. Heretofore the property owner hag been compelled to de posit a certain sum for the coat of the teeter." Another city official said that in his opinion tbe concessions offered the city offset the payment of a royalty by a large amount. It Is understood that the council la la favor of tbe proposed ordinance. More Help Authorised. On September 1 two additional mall car riers and one collector of mall will be put to work here. Captain Etter, tbe postman ter, received instructions from Washington yesterday to make arrangements for this Increase In help. Twelve csrrlers are now employed and the Increase in the force will necessitate the redisricting of the city and the remodeling of the routes. The addition ot a collector to the force will relieve to a great extent the work now Imposed upon carriers and will result In the handling of mall much mora rapidly than formerly. Tho Hammond Plant. More than a "dc-ien men were employed yesterday in cleaning the Hammond plant here and It looks aa if the plant would be reopened shortly. No one here appears to know what is going on other than that or ders were received yesterday morning to clean the plant at once. All of the prop erty of the old Hammond company la being loaded Into cars preparatory to Its being shipped away. At the present time the Hammond boilers are being used by Swift, but the lease on these win cease, it Is stated, as soon as the new boilers are In stalled at the Swift plant. Sale Conaammated. The sale of the triangular piece of property Just east of the Union Pacific depot and owned by school district No. 3 was consummated yesterday. The pur chaser, John J. Ryan, paid the price ot bis bid, $2,100, to the school treasurer and received In return a deed to the piece ot ground. When the Board of Education decided to dispose of tbls property, which la practically valueless for school pur poses on aoccunt of It being located so near the railroad yards, bids were adver tised for and Ryan wss the high man. While the sale was practically made at the meeting of the board last Monday night the money and deeds were not ex changed until yesterdsy afternoon. Patriotic Services.
