CROWDS ARE A LITTLE LATE ASSEMBLING
6rofi, nen, Are Packed with
the Merry Makers Late la he
Afternoon and During
the Errnlic
Weather condition yesterday morning,
did not look propitious for the closing day
of the street fair and carnival, but the ,
weather clerk called the rain off about
noon and the sun commenced to shine and
the gloomy looks on the faces of the man- .
agere of the great show gave place to
miles.
The crowd was a little slow In gathering
in the early part of the afternoon, but by 4
o'clock the groiTnds literally swarmed with
children. The attendance In the evening
was as large If not larger than on Thurs
day night, the record-breaker of the week.
President Baerle of the carnival committee
stated last night that the attendance for
the week was greatly in excess of that for
last year.
Although It was the last night the crowd
wss most orderly and there were no com
plaints. Every one seemed out for a good
time and evidently found It.
During the afternoon performance Im
hoff, the bicycle rider, came near meeting
with a serious aocldent. , After completing
the descent of the high Incline the tire
came off his front wheel and Imhoff was
thrown along the pavement for a distance
of twenty feet or more. His face and body
were badly bruised, but his Injuries are
not serious.

Injury at First Considered Trivial
ad at On Time Was Con- '
Idered Healed.
i
Charles Nolan died yesterday afternoon
at his home, 1201 Fifth avenue, from lock
jaw. His death was Indirectly due to the
flood of two weeks ago.
The day following the heavy rain Nolan
started to clean oTt the mud from the side
walk In front of his residence, which had
been swept over It by the overflow from
Indian creek. He was in his bare feet and
la some maner slipped nd fell. In falling
the big toe of his right foot became wedged
between two planks of the sidewalk and
the nail was. torn off.
The Injury, while painful, was not con
sidered serious or dangerous, and, in fact,
last Thursday morning the Injury was com
pletely healed. Thursday night, however,
signs of lockjaw commenced to make their
appearance and despite all that medical
skill oould do resulted In Nolan's death
yesterday afternoon. That lockjaw did not
set In until two weeks after the Injury Is
considered by physicians' aa something very
unusual.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE3 MOINES, Sept. 12. tSpeclal.) Tho
board of trustees of the State college held
an Important session at Ames yesterday
and attended to detail work iiecessary at
the nneninr of th. f.ll term of the college.
The moBt important matter was to fix the
status of Prof. E. W. Stanton, formerly
acting president. Before the death of Dr.
Beardshear, Prof. Stanton was secretary of
the board, and aa such virtually kept the
records of the college and had personal
supervision of the finances, and he waa
also professor of mathematics, a position
he had held for many years. While act
ing president he gave up both these places.
Yesterday the board restored htm to both
places, and In addition. In view of his em
inent services to the college, he waa made
dnan, of the Junior department. This latter
Is a new place created at this meeting. It
will be one of greater dignity and import
ance than Prof. Stanton's former chair
alone. As such dean he will be practically
an assistant to the president. Dr. Storms,
and have virtual charge of the entire work
In the first two years of the college life of
the students. Thero was also an adjust
ment of the salaries of the faculty and
provision made for fitting out the addition
to the new agricultural hall with furniture,
etc. Members of the board report the col
lege as starting oft this year with brighter
prospects than ever before.

Mystery ot New Surrey.
Engineer B. Schreiner of this city, who
surveyed the Cherry route from Wlnterset
to Greenfield for a riEht of way for a rail
road, which was afterwards sold to the
Rock Island and abandoned, Is again en
gaged In making a survey across the coun
try to Greenfield, and there is much mys
tery aa to what it means. The Rock Island
abandoned the right of way in large part
and has secured new right of way and Is
now engaged In the work of actual con
struction of the road. Now a surveying
party Is making still another survey. It Is
learned that Mr. Cherry, the projector of
the line, Is spending his time In Greenfield
and. Wlnterset and that there are Indica
tions that a new lnterurban Is planned to
run between the two towns and to con
nect with the system In Dee Moines.
State Fair Premlanta.
Secretary Simpson of the state fair has
Just completed sending out the warrants
for the premiums at the state fair recently
held and every prize winner has now been
paid. The work has been completed earlier
than usual and the books closed up more
promptly than ever before. The total of
premiums paid was $23,837.22, which is larger
than ever before, the chief increase being
In the live stock.
Troops Boon to Come.
A squadron of four troops of cavalry will
report at the Des Moines army post on
November L according to orders that have
been Issued by the War department at
Washington. The troops will contain fifty
to seventy men at first and later will be

ment of men and there Is a report that the

SULLIVAN TALKS IN IOWA
Democrat le Candidate for Governor
Opens' Campaign la Hawk,
eye State.
DENI80N. Ia., Sept 12. Hon. Jerry Sul.
llvan, the democratic candidate for gov
ernor, was greeted by a good-slsed crowd
here this afternoon when he delivered his
first formal address of the campaign.
The address had been carefully prepared
and dealt almost entirely with the tariff
and trust questions. Governor Cummins
was taken severely to task for not stand
ing for his former attitude on the tariff
question, and addresses delivered by the
governor a year ago and In 1901 were
quoted from to show that he had changed
his position.
Mr. Sullivan's address was devoted
largely to a denunciation of the laws en
acted by the republican party in regu
lating tariff duties. He declared tariff is
a "tribute levied upon thrift and industry
to support and maintain a few in wealth
and Idleness." v
Upon the financial question he said:
They say to you that the money question
Is settled and wish to keep from your mind
all reference to It. It may and may not
be settled, depending upon the point of
view from which you view it.
The democracy ever has been and ever
will be In favor of a stable and sound cur
rency. It Is as much opposed to a trust
in money as It Is to a trust In the products
of labor. Of what value would your land
be If it were not for the medium of ex-
changer
Prices will be enhanced, business will be
developed, progress made In all lines if
the medium of exchange keeps pace with
the growth and development of Industries
and trade. This has ever been the policy
of the democratic party, and ever will be.

LEADS STRANGE DOUBLE LIFE
London Ifachanio Keeps Two families
Within Quarter Mile of Each Other.
MAINTAINS DUAL ROLE FOR FIVE YEARS
Neither of Wives Nor His Aee.aalat
anees Suspect Anything- Oat ot
the Ordinary During; All
of that Time.
(Copyright IMS, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Sept lt-(New Tork World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) One ot the
moat amaslng cases of double life ever In
vestigated has Just been laid bare before
the London recorder, where William Har
vey, a working carpenter, was charged with
bigamy, having wedded five years ago a girl
named Mary Dentry, hi wife being alive.
Harvey, after a long courtship, won the
girl, who Is 12 years his Junior, by explain
ing that he was a widower, with a grown
up son and daughter, and that If he married
again he would lose certain properties.
Therefore the girl was persuaded to keep
the union a secret They lived in a room
less than a quarter of a mile from Harvey's
legitimate home, to which he returned every
night at 10:20 sharp, as he said, to prevent
his son and daughter becoming suspicious.
For five years this arrangement lasted.
He bad three children by the Dentry girl
and visited her every evening, walking out
with them in the neighborhood and con
stantly taking the children to play In the
park close by, where they might at any
time meet his other family, but he never
raised the slightest suspicion In the minds
of either woman.
The success of the deception Is all the
more remarkable by reason of his very

TURMOIL IN BRIJISH CABINET
That Body Called Together at Moot
laaaual Time to Consider
Many Questions.
LONDON, Sept 11 A special meeting ot
the cabinet has been summoned for Sep
tember 14 and the political atmosphere is
thick with rumors. These Include reports
that the government will break up and
that a general election will be held, or at
least that the cabinet will be recognised.
On the other hand, it Is declared that no
open breach will be developed, and that,
with the exception of providing a new
office for the new marquis of Salisbury,
who, as Lord Cranborne, was undersecre
tary for foreign affairs, things will go on
much as they have been.
The original cause for the summons sent
to the cabinet at this unusual period of the
year waa the discussion of Colonial Secre
tary Chamberlain's fiscal proposal and the
preparation of Premier Balfour's promised
pronouncement upon that subject. Since
then the fiscal agitation has become of al
most secondary Interest, Intense feeling
having been aroused by the South African
War commission report, in which publio
sentiment is also deeply exercised.
Such a staunch supporter of the govern
ment as the Pall Mall Gaiette warns the
cabinet that It must take action to remedy
the scandals revealed by the committee,
while the Times backed up by the Liberal
press, demands greater British Initiative In
putting an end to the massacres In Mace
donia. In this connection it Is said Mr,
Balfour will see King Edward before moot
ing his colleagues on Monday. The king
has been taking an active Interest In the
Balkan situation and the Interview may re
sult In some stronger attitude on the part
of the government
It Is announced that by the middle of
next week the official papers showing the
results of the government's investigation
of Great Britain's fiscal status will be pub
lished. EMPEROR AS ART CRITIC
Calls Picture an Abominable Thing;
la Presence of tho
Artist.
BERLIN, Sept. 12. The Prussian cabinet
order of Wednesday, taking the National
gallery from the control of the Berlin mu
nicipality and placing It under the ministry
of public Instruction, Is badly received by
artists and the city authorities.
The order Is ascribed to the Initiative of
Emperor William, whose opinion of what
ought .to go Into the gallery has several
times diverged from that of the municipal
art commission and Herr von Schudl, di
rector of the gallery.
For Instance, the commission recently
bought Kampf's "Two Sisters" of this sea
son's academy. What the emperor thought
of that work la related by Kampf, who, as
the principal commissioner In charge of the
academy's exhibit, showed the emperor
around.
"Who painted this abominable thing?" In
quired the emperor, stopping in front of
the "Two Sisters."
"I did, your majesty," replied Herr
'Kampf.
Director von Tschudl wanted the gallery
to have a Whistler and had arranged to
buy his "Nocturne No. 3 St. Marks," but
the city commission In this case refused to
support Herr von Tschudl, because, it Is
said, the emperor suggested that the pic
ture was not needed.
