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 spoke In part as follows

that we should una an nour line mis irons

other features of like character which con

be found to be our most important and
valuable possessions.
We shall have a building nere wmcn win

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.

The Cause of Many

There Is a disease prevailing In this
country most danperous because so decep

deaths are caused by

are often the result
of kidney disease. II
kidney trouble Is al

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. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of ths most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root Is pleasant to take and sold

Senator Millard's Remarks.
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

Water Company's franchise it aa lira
Monday Night
COUNCIL TO CHOOSE BETWEEN TWO WAYS
Members geeat Inclined to Favor the
Ten-Year Eateneton Beeanse of
Coneeaalone Mad by
tke Company.
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.
