DEVOTE EVENING TO WATER
City Council Struggles with Various
Flans to Keller too
Situation.
Despite the attractions of the opening day
Of the street fair and carnival and the fact
that It was Labor day tho city council at
Ita regular monthly meeting last 'night did
not adjourn after allowing the bills as had
been anticipated. Flood conditions de
manded some action and the aldermen de
cided that it was a case of business before
pleasure this time.
Alderman Lovett, as tha representative
of the residents of the Sixth ward, had the
floor a great part of tha meeting. At his
uggeatton It was decided to construct a
culvert three feet wide and three deep un
der tha tracks of the Illinois Central rail
road on Eighteenth street directly south of
Avenue A. This, It Is thought, will assist
materially In draining tha large submerged
are north of Broadway, . Mr. Lovett re
ported that he had succeeded. In getting
the motor company to make a; number of
ditches under Its tracks on Avenue A be
tween Sixteenth and Eighteenth streets and
this had assisted greatly in Improving con
ditions In that district
Alderman Lovett also succeeded In se
curing tha consent of the council to tha
placing of a five-foot brick culvert under
Broadway at Seventeenth street, as a perm
anent outlet for the water north of there.
This culvert will be constructed aa soon as
the flood subsides sufficiently to permit It.
Alderman Casper opposed the five-foot cul
vet and urged that a twenty-four-inch tile
ewer would be sufficient, with the present
aewer.
Alderman Casper suggested It plan for re
lieving the flood conditions. It was that
tha city secure tha use of tha dredge now
at Lake Manawa and use' It an Indian
Creek, and that the Northwestern railroad
be required to raise Its bridges at Eleventh
treet at least two feet. This, ha thought,
could ba accomplished at an expense not to
exceed 16,000. This, with the raising of cer
tain of the city bridges, would. In his opin
ion, solve the flood problem. Kls sugges
tion went a glimmering, as tha other alder
men did not believe it feasible.
W. H. Kimball of th Kimball Elevator
Company, and William Walker of tha Nov
elty Manufacturing company, appeared be
fore tha council and asked that some steps
ba taken to drain off the water In tha vi
cinity of their plants. Mr. Kimball stated
that his foundry had been shut down since
th flood on account of the water, and Mr.
Walker said that several of his workmen
vera sick at horn on account of Inhaling
th fetid odor from the stagnant waters.
They suggested that th water could be
drained If the Rock Island and Burlington
roads would construct culverts under their
mbankments. Th council decided that In
order to get quick action on the railroads
tn th matter of constructing these pro
posed culverts was but to rsfer ths matter
to th Board of Health, which has the
power to make any orders It may deem
necessary for th public health.
At the request of Alderman Fleming the
city engineer was Instructed to at one
glv his personal attention to th condi
tions prevailing In the district bounded by
Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets and Second
and Eighth avenues, and devise some plan
whereby th water can be drained off.
In answer to an Inquiry from the council
City Physician Houghton said that the
use of Urn would be but a temporary ex
pedlent to purify condition now prevailing
In th submerged districts. Th area un
der water Is so great that Dr. Houghton
aid he failed to ae what could be don
xoept to drain th water off as speedily
as possible and then fill the low-lying lots.
City Clerk Phillips reported th city en
gineer hsd mad a tabulation of th paving
bids and that E. A, WlckhanVs was the
lowest. On motion of Alderman Huber the
matter of awarding th contract was de
ferred for on week. He stated he had
been asked to secure this postponement
by a number of Interested property owners.
Th council adjourned to next Monday
and will meet as commute of the whole
Wednesday luurning.

LABOR TARES ITS DAY OFF
Etereiisa atLake Manawa Attraot a Crowd
of Two Tbotmnd. '
PROr. DAVIS ON CAPITAL AND LABOR
Congressman Smith Makes a Short
Talk In Which H Gives th
Labor I'nlons lorn
Advice.
Th labor unions of Council Bluffs held
their Labor day exercises yesterday after
noon at Lak Manawa, where a crowd of
nearly 2,000 people assembled to listen to
the addresses and enjoy th program of
sports.
Prof. Claud Davis of Drake university,
the principal speaker of th afternoon, de
livered an eloquent and Interesting address.
He received quite an ovation on being In
troduced by Mayor Dell Q. Morgan, who
acted as master of ceremonies.
Prof. Davis took the stand that there was
no conflict between capital and labor and
that there never has been. The man who
talks about antagonism between labor and
capital, that Is, labor and capital In them
selves, he said, slther talks out of Ignor
ance or Is a demagogue, who talks for th
advancement of his own selfish Interests.
Capital cannot get along without labor
and labor cannot get along without capital
any more than life can continue without
the light of the sun. Capital Is as abso
lutely necessary for the progress of the
laborer as It Is utterly Impossible for cap
ital to b efficient without tha worklngman.
The hackneyed expression, "capital and
labor," Prof. Davis asserted, was mean
ingless. To make It understood a third
term had to ba supplied, and that was
"management," which Introduces the hu
man element Th first two factions, he
declared, were friends In their natural re
lationship, but man in his exercise of bad
management is the relentless foe of both.
Oood management of corporations and
unions he held to be the solution of present
difficulties, and, while advocating arbitra
tion as the foundation of good manage
ment, Prof. Davis asserted that,' In his
opinion, arbitration was but a temporary
resort for th settlement of labor troubles
and that the permanent basis of adjust
ment would have' to be found In the re
ligious principle of the Golden Rule, "Do
unto others as you would that others do
unto you."
Congressman Walter I. Smith, who re
ceived a most flattering reception, made a
short address, In which he took the stand
that the American laborer, while receiving
higher, wages and working shorter hours
than those of Eifropean countries, should
avoid seeking to reduce production by
adopting the European scale of a day's
work. In support of this he referred to the
report of a German expert In the shoe
business, which was to the effect that
while American workmen labored shorter
hours and received higher pay than those
of German, their labor was so much more
productive that th actual cost of produc
tion In America was far less than In .Ger
many. The same rule, he said, applied to
other lines of manufacture, and in this, he
declared, lies th superiority of the Amer
ican workman.
Program of Sports.
At th close of th exercises th crowd
njoyed th program of sports and watched
the ball game between th Eagles and th
Smiths, which waa won by th Eagles by a
soor of I to 0.

Council Bluffs' second annual street fair
and carnival opened yesterday afternoon
under conditions that promise to make It
as great If not a greater success than last
year. Over 0 people were on ths
grounds yesterday afternoon and this num
ber was doubled during the evening. All
that la needed, th committee declared Ut
evening, to beat last year's record Is good
weather and Indications are that the of
ficials who preside over the weather bureau
will keep the rain off until after Saturday
night.
The commercial exhibit this year exceed
those of last in every respect end the
booths are much more elaborately dec
orated. Not only are the decorations of
the booths more elaborate, but no two are
alike, and this diversity, whloh was lacking
last year, makes this feature of th street
fair so much more attractive.
Starting from the Elks' club house the
booths on what Is termed Industrial street
are occupied as follows: Administration
booth, the Dally Nonpareil, the Peregoy ft
Moore company, Daughters of the Amer
ican Revolution, Keller-Farnsworth Furni
ture company, B. M. Sargent, Joe Smith ft

pany, fire department, Illusion shows, La
dles' Aid society.
The street fair was the scene of consid
erable roughness last night, owing to the
unrestricted use of confetti. Many pcoVle,
rather than be subjected to the roughness
of the rowdy element, left the grounds.
Toung rowdies, armed with brooms and
feather dusters, paraded the grounds at
will, unmolested by the officers, and young
women were forced to submit to having
confetti, much of It picked up off the street
and mixed with dust and gravel, rubbed
Into their faces. Several young rowdies,
not content with being permitted to use
confetti, supplied themselves with axle
grease and rubbed this Into the faces of
young girls who were without escorts and
could not resent the Insult.
Owing to the many complaints made last
night, the carnival management decided
that no brooms or feather dusters would
be permitted during the remainder of the
week and rowdyism will not be tolerated.
Tha sale of Individual tickets for yester
day reached 6,600, and this, with the season
tickets disposed of, shows that the 'at
tendance reached the 8,000 mark.

BIGAMY CHARGE AGAINST PREACHER
Twe Robber Bonnd to Get the Cash
ot a Hotel Gnrst Make iec.
ond Attempt After Being
Driven Oft.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE3 MOINE8, Sept. 7. (Speclal.)-The
Labor day exercises were slightly Inter
fered with In Des Moines by a heavy rain,
which fell In the forenoon, compelling a
postponement of the parade for over an
hour. Despite' this the parade was of the
usual length and character, about 4,000 per
sons participating, with about sixty differ
ent crafts represented. There were three
bands In the line and the women who are
members of the unions rode in carriages.
The parade passed through the principal
streets and In the afternoon the laboring
men went to the state fair grounds, where
a program of sports was carried out.
There was no speaking. Quite a number of
the members of the unions went to Colfax,
where they participated In a demonstration
addressed by Governor Cummins, who
spoke to a targe crowd and touched upon
labor topics. He avowed himself, as he
has been In the past, a strong friend of
laboring men and a believer In- the virtue
of organisation, well directed and fairly
conducted, for the betterment of the con
ditions of the laboring men.
Accusation of Blaramy for Preacher.
Information was filed before a Justice of
the peace today by Julia C. Lomack against
her husband. Rev. F. C. Lomack, accusing
him of bigamy. The warrant has not yet
been served, because he cannot be found.
Mrs. Lomack, who was Mrs. Julia Tyler
and was married to Lomack last December,
alleges that he had previously been wedded
to Mamie Garland in il4 and had never
been divorced from her, and therefore that
his second marriage was bigamous. She
sued him last week for divorce and ha
also brought suit for divorce. Lomack
carries a bullet fired Into him by Al Mc
Klnney, a Jealous rival for the hand of
Mrs. Tyler, last year, and Lomack at one
time served In the penitentiary for a crime
committed when a boy. He Is pastor of
the African Baptist church in this city and
has had a stormy career, but it had not
been before known that he could be aooused
of bigamy.
Held Up In n Hotel.
An attempted robbery at the Nelson
house In this city caused excitement among
the guests and resulted In some arrests.
John Murthe and William Imlay, guests
from out of the city, were the victims.
The room of Imlay was entered when he
was asleep and he found the man going
through his pockets. He sprang from the
bed and grappled with the Intruder. A
fierce fight ensued and Just as the robber
was about to smash Imlay's head with a
pitcher his pal appeared and pulled him
out of the room. The pair then Imme
diately tried to rob Murthe In his room,
but a fight followed there, and, although
the pitcher used as a weapon was broken
over Murthe' head, he drove the robbers
away. Two strangers, giving the names
of Kinney and O'Conner, have been ar
rested for the crime,,
Ballets Ply In Boarding; House.
Miss Julia Devlin and Mr. Snyder are in
the city Jail as a result of an alleged shoot
ing affray Sunday . night at a boarding
house at 606 Grand avenue. The details of
the affair, as alleged, are that Miss Devlin
flred a revolver at Mrs. Snyder on the
stairs of the boarding house at the above
number early Sunday night, because Mrs.
Snyder Joked her concerning a fight which
Is said to have occurred last week between
the women. The bullet went wide of the
mark and Mrs. Snyder Is claimed to have
knocked the revolver from the hands of
the younger woman before a second shot
could be fired, when the Inmates of the
house secured and held Miss Devlin until
Officer Deford arrived. Both women were
taken to Jail, to await action of the au
thorities. Insurance Case Is Doe.
Information has been received here that
Judge Smith McPherson of the southern
district of Iowa will be in Des Moines
about the middle of the week for the pur
pone of delivering his decision In the mat
ter of the insurance compact case, which
was submitted to him some time ago. The
suit Is one brought by the companies In
the Insurance combine in Iowa to have de
clared null and void the Iowa antl-compnot
law, which has been on the statute books
for several years.. The law haa never been
applied, but the existence of the law has
rendered It a little difficult for the com
panies to maintain agreements among
agents with reference to rates and com
missions, and they desire It to be declared
Illegal.
Railroad Promotion Goes On.
Offices have Just been opened In this city
for the Continental Railroad company, with
William H. Smith as president. The com
pany has plana prepared for a north and
south railroad running through tha state
to the Canadian line and aouth as far as
Oklahoma, and the promoters declare that
they will be able to secure the money with
which to build the line. It is a revival of
an old project, but In new hands, and there
Is an air of confidence about the whole
movement, though Des Moines men are not
fully Informed as to the plans that have
been made. It Is announced that the defi
nite plans will soon be announced.

mishaps and several clubs were disquali
fied lor fouling after being repeatedly
w-arned by the referee. Bad steering was
the order of the day.
In the Junior douole sculls the Crescent
Boat club of Philadelphia was well In the
lead, but made way tor the Ravenswoods,
who were rowing out of their course. This
took the Crescents so close Into the Vir-
flnla shore that they ran into a barge,
heir boat was smashed to pieces and the
two occupants were thrown into the water,
but were quickly rescued.
A perfectly clear course was maintained
throughout the day, a government vessel
being on hand for this purpose. The race
were all rowed over a atraJghtaway coura.
Th United States steamer Cunning was
placed at the disposal of the regatta com
mittee and proved a most efficient referee
boat, Its speed enabling It to follow closely
behind the contestants. Results:
