BLUFFS- STREET FAIR IS CROWDED lull; Eigbt Thousand Vistton to the Ground Day and Night ROWDYISM 13 PROMPTLY SUPPRESSED Number of Hew Attractloua Added and All of Them Are DeinaT a Land Ofllre Baslaess. The attendance at the street fair and Carnival yesterday kept pace with that of the opening day. Up to 10 o'clock last night over (,000 ticket had been sold at the gates, and with the admissions by season and coupon tickets the attendance again reached tha (,000 mark. During tha afternoon the carnival grounds are the children's paradise and hundreds of them wera to be seen enjoying the varied attractions. The Ferris wheel, as it was last year, is again the popular attraction for the young folk and It never stopped for a moment during the afternoon or evening, except to take on and let off its patrons. The crowd last night simply, packed the grounds. Everyone had a good time and , there waa a total absence of any rowdyism or horseplay, due to the efficient steps taken by the management to protect the visitors from anything of a disagreeable nature. A number of new attractions were acMed j yesterday and In the parlance of the j spieler, there was something doing every I minute. The De Kreko shows are proving, as they did last year, popular features of the carnival, this being especially true of the Streets of India, at which la to be seen the high diving act of Prof. Johnson and the mysterious performance of the ori entals. Just east of the main entrance the Wom an's Christian association hospital manage ment has Installed an emergency hospital, quartered In a tent and fitted for any emergency. A trained nurse Is in charge afternoon and evening. The young women of the Flower Mission and the Associated Charities are doing a land office business and both these deserv ing organisations will reap a good harvest from the carnival. PROTECTING COUNTY BRIDGES Approaches to Many Endangered by Manner of ConatrnctlnsT ( Dttcbea. The Board of County Supervisors yester day decided that some action was neces sary to prevent the destruction of the ap proaches to the county bridges from the water which is permitted to empty from ' the' water ' ways alongside the roads too i close to the bridges. The recent heavy rains demonstrated this and the aupervls- j ors were Instructed to confer with the township trustees In their respective terrt torles with a view to having this remedied. A great part of yesterday' session waa devoted ' to the auditing and allowing ot claims against the oounty, which &ave ac- I cumulated alnoe tho last session. ' George T. Miller was reappointed super visor of the poor for Kane township for another year at a salary of ISO a month. The reports of the three soldiers' relief fund commissioner, - Oeorga T. . Miller, Council Bluffs; C- H. Norton, Avoca; P.. B. Wilson Carson, showed that the following amounts had been expended by them dur ing the past year: Miller, $3,818; Norton, $195.65; Wilson, $235.90. The commissioners recommended that when the tax levy is made that a levy not exceeding one-quarter mill be mado for the soldiers' relief fund. Norton was reelected commissioner of the fund for another term of three years. . The auditor was Instructed to advertise for bids for coal and wood, bids to be re ceived up to o'clock Saturday morning, September 12. The board will at this session fix the tax levy for 103. SCHOOLS OPEN FOR THE YEAR Harbt Doerease la Enrollment Over Lnat Yoar, Owing; to the Flood. The long summer vacation for the youth of Council Bluffs ended yesterday with the opening of the public schools for the new school year. Everything was in readiness at the different buildings to receive the pupils and session began promptly at I o'clock. The young people were made happy by the announcement that during this week the schools will be dismissed each afternoon at S o'clock so that those who desire may attend the street fair and carnival. The luncheon period and re ceases will be shortened somewhat to make up. The enrollment for the first day was slightly smaller than that of last year on the opening day. This Is accounted for by the conditions resulting from the flood, which still prevail In certain sections of the city. The decrease, however, Is not as great as had been anticipated, and It Is expected -that when the flood conditions aro relieved the enrollment will this year far exceed that of 1902. The total enroll ment yeaterday, according to the reports received by Superintendent Clifford last evening, was 4.332, as against 4,482 for the opening day of last year, The enrollment by schools follows: High school 4'i Washington ave..

Knapp claimed that the girl had twloe promised to marry him and that relying on her promise, he had given hr valuable Jewelry In addition to providing her with a trouseau.

At the Lanes' camp the police found an old shotgun with the stock freshly broken and this they took as evidence. Etherton ac cused John Lane of being the one of the trio who knocked him down. Peter Lane and Douglas were charged with drunkenness and disturbing the peace, while John Lane had a charge of highway robbery booked against him. Pending the filing of Information, Judge Scott gave the three defendants and Etherton ten days on bread and water on general principles.

Qulnor, I1L DELICATE JOB WELL DONE Ease Theater Movad Twenty-Two Feet Without Cracking a Bib. THIRTY MEN DO THE WORK HANDILY Second Largest Job of tho Kind Kver Done Nine Handred "Jacks" and Tons of Steel Roll ers Employed. Thirty sturdy men have lately accom plished In Pittsburg the Brodlngnaglan feat of moving a weight of 4.992,000 pounds a distance ot twenty-two feet. More than that they have picked up what might be compared to a gigantic basket of eggs, taken the bottom out or the basket and set the egga down without so much aa Jarring a single shell. To be more exact they have lifted the massive Grand Opera House building off It foundation, enoved It for ward twenty-two feet and planted It on a new tase. It required less than thlrty-ali houra to acomplish the Job and It waa all done so nicely that you couldn't see the atructure moving. In thla coloaaal building were the largest theater in Pittsburg, the largeat billiard and pool room In the United Statea, a bowling alley, a barber ahop and varloua other establishments, yet the whole massive fabric has been transplanted without acci dent, without Jar and without even tha allghteat Injury to any part of It It 1 the biggest contract of the descrip tion ever exeouted In Pittsburg, and per hapa tha moat Important undertaking of ita kind In the history of moving. The Chi cago contractor who auperlntended the work, viewing It In the light of eighteen year' experience, expresses the opinion that it la the aecond greatest Job aver ac complished In the house moving line. He placea ahead of It the movement of a Baptist church In the Windy City In 1895. Thla building occupied a ground apace of 161 x9$ feet and carried a atone tower 22S feet high. The Qrand Opera house, Pittsburg, sits on 128x80 feet and reached an altitude around ita four aldea of 90 feet. While larger buildings have been moved, the weight of the theater and the character of the work give It Its Important place among house moving projects. Its maaslve walla and great beama weigh approximately between ten and twelve tona per running foot, which la an aggre gate weight of 1.494 tons. To move such an enormoua shell of brick and mortar waa no child'a play, for It should be re membered that the Grand Opera house was built three decades ago; but, having had ita stiffened sinews Umbered and Its youth renewed, It moved forward with the amoothneaa and steadiness ot a be calmed yacht on an Inland sea. Why 1c Was Moved. The moving of the Grand Opera house was necessitated by a street improvement, the widening of Diamond street. The theater actually fronts ou thla thorough fare, but that fact is not generally known to the average Plttaburger, for the en trance to the house Is from Fifth avenue. The city fathers years ago determine! to widen Diamond street in order that Pitts burg's business streets might be relieved In part of their congestion. Property owners, however, fought the Improvement tooth and nail and carried the city through all the courts of tha state and even Into the United States Judiciary, for they realUed that It waa to ba a costly im provement. Ultimately the municipality triumphed and In last April the tenanti were notified to get out, ao that the cut might be riiide. The Grand Opera house waa given time to finish Ita aessnn, but agreed to have the building moved before the beginning of the fall aeason. Twenty feet were out off the buildings on on side of the street. Fortunately for the Grand, It la so situated that the cut could not Injure the atructure. Between thla theater and lu slatsr play bouse, the Avenue theater, waa a vacant space or twenty feet, ao that all that waa necessary was to move the Qrand forward until It cam cheek by Jowl with the Avenue. Thla la what has been dona. The men employed In the moving project were four weeka In preparing for It thirty hours In actually moving it forward and remained two weeka to put on the finishing touctiea. No work don In the open in Pittsburg in recent years baa attracted ao mush at Competitive Advertising i3 tention or elicited so much comment. There Is always a crowd on Diamond street In tha vicinity of the theater watching the work, and at noon, when the law offices and counting rooms empty their army of toll era, the thoroughfare Is almoat Impassable with the curious. The native tendency to investigate Is strong and men and women are seen climbing over girders and a teal beams, the better to observe the work, the methods employed in lifting the building from Its old foundations, moving It back ward and planting it on lta new resting place. Many are amated at the thlcknew and strength of the maaslve walls whioh form the main structure, and, remembering that the building was arected three decades ago. when "veneering" and the many other modern methods of money saving ware un known, ahake their heads and with an ex pression about the artificiality of th pres ent and the stability of the past pass on. Caed Nino Hundred Jacks, The process of moving this great atruc ture waa the aame na Is employed In under takings of minor importance, but of the same character. The contractor employed 900 Jacka and by this multitude of devlcea screwed up the building, thread by thread, until it waa ralaed to the required height Then supports and rollers were plaoed be neath the structure, ready tor the move ment backward. Then Jackscrewa were planted horlson tally against the sidewalk and screwed up slowly, thus pushing the building along on the 600 steel rollers. The thirty men were at their posts of duty In various parts of the building. A single whistle blew, and each man gave the acrew over which he presided a single twist It was acaroely possible to detect a movement but by these meana alone the mass of brick and mortar was pushed along. No power other than that of human strength waa utilised. The men merely operated the Jacka and they In turn aet tha steel spheres rolling. The rise in the build Ing waa only half an Inch. When the theater atood over Ita new foundation the stonemasons and brick layers began their work. Th building waa not allowed to rest on th foundation, but over It, and the stone work waa built up to Join the brick work. Thla prevented any possibility of Jarring or of getting thn structure out ot plumb. Slowly the steel beams were removed and th opening In the walls, where they had been Inserted to distribute the weight, was rapidly bricked up. It was surprising the amount of material used In a Job of this kind. In addition to the 900 Jackscrewa and the 400 two and a quarter inch ateel rollers, 100 tona of steel beama, Ux42, were used. It Is estimated that the coat of tha mov ing of t(ils building and tha Improvements which Manager Harry Davis contem plates will Involve an expenditure of close to a quarter of a million of dollars. Muoh of this expense, however, will be borne by the city In the nature of benefit for the damage to the property by reason of taking; twenty feet oft the frontage. The building, however, stands today stronger and firmer than aver before, for In Ita great trunk great ateel ribs have been inserted, the foundation Is entirely new and the whole edifice has had the advantage of a complete overhauling and an expert Inspection.

The wife of a humble steward of an American schooner proved herself a hero ine Indeed In the early houra of yeaterday morning, when, with songs of good cheer, she caused ten men, with one exception, all members of the .-law of the foundered schooner Henry P. Mason, to forget for the time being what appeared to be a sure and speedy death In the atorm-racked water of the Atlantic. The woman who proved ao brave was Mrs. Chester Orover ot Tennant'a Harbor, Ma., and th ex perlencea ahe underwent were enough to chill the heart of the bravest man, ac cording to the stories told by Mason's crew and the Sandy Hook llfesavera. Many time In the darkness the aallirs, riter a great wave would curl with terrific force over their little craft, would almost give up hope, and some of them went s far aa to prepare for what they felt was to be certain death. Then It waa that Mr. 0 rover showed the stuff she was mid ot. A th wind howled and tha seas evarywhere were breaking over th Itttlo pnrty she legan to sing. She sang the songs that the men had heard In their boyhood days; songs of good cheer, songs that were written to make men and women forget trouble or disaster, eonj of liopn, and her voice somehow could be hear I rlxve the roaring of the sea. The bravery of tha little womaat braced th drooping spirit of the men wonderfully, and at the conclusion of an extremely appropriate one they wou'd show their appreciation by cheering her, despite the awfulness of their surroundings, tev- eral ttmea Mrs. Marlaloue Joined in the chorus, and after the reecua Captain Froat told a member of Navigator' crew that had It not been for the bravery of th women during the terrible night when the wlnda howled with demoniacal flercenaw and the seas were breaking over the-n an savagely, ha had no doubt but that several of the men, although all ot them proved themselves true mariners, would have given up all hope.
