HAWKEYES AT KING AK-SAR-3EN'S ' COURT Ittrn-.e ( Intcri-M In the Oninlni Afinlr IlrMiltN In it linn ) Time for the HoKtelrleM uf Council lIltilTx. Tlio Indications around Council Bluffs are that the majority of the people In western Iowa are attending the Nebraska State fair. Every Incoming train yesterday was loaded , and all had extra coaches attached. The pas. scngers on the early morning tialns wore Bufilclcntly numerous to pack the street can , : hat vvcro waiting at the depots. Later trains brought such a multitude that the street car facilities at the stations vvcro entirely In adequate to provide means of transportation , and several hundred people walked up town and took their chances of catching Omaha motors at the Pearl street Junction. Every train that came In during the day was ciowded with fair visitors , and even the trains that came In after 5 o'clock last even. Ing were loaded with passengers who took Lho mc.tor trains for Omaha OB quickly an they could find ono that was not already loaded to Hi ! capacity. The rush of the farmcis from the stir- ouudlng country was something phenomenal. By iioou jesterday every livery stable and feed yard In the city was filled with farm ers' teams and wagons and family carriages. The Jam was so great around the Ncumajcr feel yards that the alley and the two street * on which the yards are located were so nearly blocked that only narrow passage- vvavs were left for the regular trafllc. The farmers left their teams nnd went to the [ air via the motor and railway lines. A con servative estimate places the number of strangers In the city en route to the fair at 10,000 , and when to this Is added the usual number of Council Bluffs people , the slzo of the crowd that Iowa contributed can bo esti mated. The people of western Iowa are taking a deeper Interest In the Nebraska fair this year than any previous year. The transportation facilities were taxed to the fullest last night to accommodate the crowds who desired to sec thej big parade. Every hotel In the- city Is filled with guests and all of the private boarding houses have been taxed to furnish accommodations. On Wednesday night the last Omaha motor trains brought full loads of people' In search of hotel accommodations , and many of them wandered around the streets until after 2 o'clock yesterday , importuning the police of ficers to assist them In finding places to sleep. Every assistance was given In di recting them to private boarding hoiibcs and places where cots could be secured. llt'MI TO OUT OVIJH TO ( Ml VII I. Motiir Coninaii ) HUH a Hip- Tunic to Iliiiulle the CrovvilN. At 9 o'clock laht night thcic were very few ptople left In Council Bluffs , and they consisted chiefly of those who lost courage lit the stiuggle to get on the street cars for Omaha. The rush continued until nearly 9 o'clock. The motor company switched all of Its through trains at the Pearl street junction , and from C until 8 o'clock the streets at that point were almost blocked. , The motor company used every car In Its I barns , Including a big baggage car and some of the horse cars. Manager Dlmmock fixed a schedule to send trains from the Junction every five minutes , but the trains made little better time than wab expected , and for a portion of the time a train carrjlng from seventy-five to 150 passengers left the junc tion every three minuted. Half a do/en policemen were on duty keep'fflg the crowds from becoming too Impetuous , and assisted In loading the cars. There was no deliy , for a car would bo loaded while It was switch ing and was ready to start back within two minutes from the tlmo of arrival. "How we arc going to get these people back tonight la a question that Is bothering us now , " said Manager Dlmmock at 8 o'clock last night. "Our trains have been jammed all day , and not one-tenth of those who went over dur ing the early part of the day have returned. They are apparently all staying for the pa rade. We have put on a double force of men at the power house and have given orders to keep the machlnerj * going all night. Wo will do well If we can got the last of them home by 3 o'clock tomorrow morning. But walking Is good and wo eipcct several thou sand of them will walk 'back. ' " Sixty tialns left the I'earl street junction between C and 8 o'clock , and as late as 10 o'clock the motors headed for Omaha were carrying good loads. Out lllH Sto\e lor Nnthlnic. I used Cole's Hot Blast Heater from October 15 till spring. Heated three rooms In coldest weather and In mild weather four. Fire never went out. Had sickness all win ter and kept the house same heat night and day. It equals the best base-burner In this respect. I used four tons of soft coal the whole winter. The stove docs all that Is claimed for It. The special feature about the steve besides its economy Is the steady , even heat , just like a hard coal base-burner , and It is Just about as clean. E. P. Smith , 1911 Fourth avenue , Mr , Smith easily saved the cost of his steve last winter , as any other stove , either hard or soft coal , would have used up at least $28 or $30worth of fuel. Wo guarantea It to nave one-third the fuel over any soft coal steve made and to bo as economical with hard coal as a base-burner. See It In oper ation at our store. Cole & Cole , 41 Main street.

Hlldebrandt had considerable money In his poseesilon and It was not long until ho found himself In a condition to apply to the : police fnr assistance In finding the men who hid robbed him. The threu men were arrested , and part of the money was found In their possession , They were held to the grand Jury and Hlldebrandt was required to give bond to appear and prosecute them when they were called for trial. He was kept In jail hero nearly a week while ho was ar ranging a bond for $200. The bond was finally ttled by a local bank upon satisfactory advlrts from a bank In Burlington.

Presi dent McKlnley and the other members of his party rested today. It was nearly 7 o'clock when President nnd Airs. McKlnley made their appearance at the breakfast table at the Plunkett residence. The night's rest had worked wonders In both and all traces of weariness and care had disappeared. The Misses McKlnley and McKenna , the younger members of the party , arose early and en- jojcd a walk through the beautiful grounds before breakfast. Attorney General Mc- Kcnna , who was slightly Indisposed yester day afternoon , was In the best of spirits this morning. Secretary and Miss Lone came over from the residence of 0. T. Plun kett , a brother of the president's host , where they are being entertained , shortly after the mcrnlng meal was over , and the entire party enjoyed a quiet hour upon the broad piazza.

Shortly after 10 o'clock , Colonel Albert Clarke , secretary , nnd Major Charles A. Stott of Lowell , president ot the Home Market club , and other well known republicans called on the president. Immediately after their departure the president called a meet ing of that portion of his cabinet which Is In Adams with him and for two hours they were In secret consultation In the parlor of the Plunkett residence.

The Jron Trade Review says : The buying of Bessemer pig Iron In the Plttsburg and other central western districts has kept up , the total of the last two weeks being estimated at close to 100,000 tons. Further purchases arc pend ing , since It Is well known that large steel companies are consuming considerably more pig Iron than they produce. While $7 85 In the valleys was the highest transaction reported last week , $10 has been done since , this being for 1898 delivery , and $10.25 Is now the mini mum with tellers. Gray forge has gone to $9.25 In the valley end $9 GO to $9,75. PItt burg Is quoted , this repiesentlng an advance of about $1,50 from the lowest re pot t Northern boilers of sundry Iron have stiffened their prices In sympathy with the advances In other grades , and southern sellera , finding order books well filled for four months ahead and orders steadily coinIng - Ing In , have held firmly to the advances noted last week. The Tennessee company , It Is Intimated , will make a further advance of 25 cents this week from the Birmingham baiiio of $7 25 for No. 2 foundry and No. 2 soft , $7.75 for No , 1 foundry and No. 1 soft , and $ G 75 for gray forge. It Is evident that southern iron la now verj' ' close to the point at which exports will lie prohibited. This would have been the case now but for the recent advance In pig Iron In England. The foundry buying of the past week has been of good volume. Some buyers heMtated to pay higher prices for deliveries In 1898 , and sellers are likewise chary of business for next week.

The last straw was applied today when the Christy Mining company succeeded In getting two carloads of negro miners Injo Its mine. The Christy has been for two weeks the only company holding out against the 85-ccnt scale asked by the miners. It stubbornly refused to agree to any terms except the unconditional surrender of the strikers. Finally It was announced that negroes would bo brought from West Vir ginia unless the men went back to work. They still refused and today the negroes came , about 100 In number. They vvcro got Into the mine without opposition on the part of the strikers , who did not know they were expected so soon , and were not at the mine. It Is generally believed this was the only thing that prevented serious trouble. The strikers have lost heart and In several big mines will resume work tomorrow , HAISU TIII : CHY or HIM ! nui.n.

The committee , after a long conference , was Informed that the auditor would not attempt to prepare a policy In conformity with the law , because he was given no authority to do so , and the courts might hold his policy invalid by construing the law otherwise than as he understood It.
