Bill 1 H EVENING

Saturday Promises to See Another Great Crowd in the City to
Enjoy the Fun of the Carnival.
Despite the big crowd present on
the Fourth and the general expecta
tion that there would be little doing
in the way of attendance at the street
fair last evening, there was a sur
prise in the shape of quite a crowd
present and all seemed intent upon
having a good time and enjoying
themselves, especially the young wo
men who were out In force and who
cut all kinds of pranks up and down
the streets.
The shows of the Brown Show
company did a very good business
considering the crowd of the day be
fore and they seem' to have given
satisfaction as very little complaint
was heard concerning them. The
carousal did a nice business, al
thought the wind blew up from the
south and Bwept the smoke from the
engine directly down upon those who
were riding, making It very discom
forting. In the face of this many
decided not to tempt getting dirty
clothes and concluded to wait until
there was a shift in the wind. The
carousal had a fairly good attendance
until the wind came up and it seems
a source of much entertainment to
the public, both young and old.
The Ferris wheel did better and
received a liberal patronage during
the evening. This makes a delight
fully cool ride and seems to be a
popular favorite with the older peo
pie as well as the younger.
The Dixie Land Minstrels pleased
several largo audiences and did a
fair business, especially for the con
dition under which the show was
given.
Nero, the snake, was looked at by
a good many people who found the
monster reptile to be just as repre
sented. He was a very Interesting
object and young and old alike were
satisfied witn spending their money
to look at him.
. The Wild West show did not come
up to expectations in furnishing'the
crowd but those who did atteud were
well satisfied and seemed content
with the worth of their money.
The Alligator show was witnessed
by a number of people who found
it well worth their time and money
and Who have not been complaiuing
over what was exhibited.
McFadden's College of Anato
my did quite a fair business last
evening and interest in this seems
to grow. It is a men only show and
those who patronized it sure saw
something.
The several concessions did a fair
ly good business, . especially the
stands which handled carnival stuff
such as feather dusters and the like,
and the young ladles on the streets
seem to have Increased the business
of those stands to a considerable de
gree. The striking machines and
doll racks did some business and the
Indications are good for more before
the week Is out.
Indications point to a big day Sat
urday and a large crowd Is looked
for to wind up the carnival In a
blaze of glory. There will be another
balloon ascension and parachute leap
of the afternoon of Saturday, prob
ably about five o'clock and it is pro
mised to make this one as pretty a
leap as that of Monday. The public
Is invited to come in and help close
the carnival and are assured that the
management will see that they are
given all possible accommodations.
The balloon will go up just as close
to five o'clock as the management
of the shows can make it and noth
ing will be spared to make the after
noon enjoyable. It is expected that
the evening will be given over to
amusement and that everyone will
find something attractive in the
shape of a good time.
0. G. HALE LAID
TO Flit SLEEP
Services ut Methodist Church
Largely Attended.
The funeral of the late Owen G.
Hale took place this afternoon at 2
o'clock from his late residence in
South Park to the First Methodist
church where the services were held.
There was a very large attendance of '
friends and relatives of the deceased
and the cortege from the house to
the church was a very imposing one.
The services were In charge of the
Modern Woodmen of America, Cass
Camp No. 332, of.which deceased had
been an active member for a number
of years. There was a large attend
ance of members of the order, the
Foresters leading the cortege. Rev.
W. L. Austin conducted the services
at the church and he delivered a very
fine and Impressive sermon which
dwelt upon the many virtues of the
deceased, his sincere Christianity and
his patience and resignation during
the long period of his Illness. Rev.
Austin's address was a fine tribute
to a noble man who had passed to his
final reward. There were none pres
ent but agreed with all the splendid
words which the pastor had to say
about the young man. There were
a great many very handsome floral
tributes from the many friends of the
deceased and these were piled In pro
fusion about the bier. A number of
musical selections such as the de
ceased so well loved in his lifetime
were also given during the course
of the services.
A large number of carriages form
ed the procession from the church to
the tomb where the remains were
laid to rest In beautiful Oak Hill
cemetery. The pall bearers were fel
low members of Cass Camp chosen at
their meeting last evening, and old
friends of the departed.

Gets a Light Ilain.
Reports from the country indicate
that several sections of the county
got a fine rain last night. In this
city there was nothing more than a
light shower which did little more
than lay the dust, but reports from
south and west of the city indicate
that the fall there was much heavier
and that it did a great deal of good
to growing crops. It is said to have
been quite heavy in spots but rather
streaked in its distribution. There
was a vigorous display of thunder
and lightning all around the horizon
and indications were for a genuine
old-time soaker, but it failed to con
nect. . Reports from out in the state in
dicate rains over the west half and
scattering showers throughout the
eastern part. There was two or
three vigorous mlnature tornadoes
reported from points in the state,
principally in the northeast, but no
damages of consequence done. To
day has been a very pleasant one, al
though very hot. A cool wind did
much toward making life more bearable.
