Martens Una More Trouble.
H. H. Martens, landlord of the Martens
hotel on South Main street, formerly known
aa the Creston house, has more grief on
his hands in connection with the saloon
attached to the hotel. Only a few days
ago he was fined $200 and costs and ordered
to pay County Attorney Klllpack nn at
torney fee of $25 for Violating the provisions
of the mulct law, and yesterday his stock
of -liquors was seised by deputy gherlffs
under a search warrant sworn out by
Max Mohn, former owner of the Creston
house.
When Mohn went before Justice Oureh
to secure- the search warrant Mr. Ouren
refused to issue It, as Mohn had made
no secret about the fact that he wanted
it merely to "get even" with Martens for
an alleged injury done him by the latter.
Mohn, who lost the Creston house property
through foreclosure, charged Martens with
being responsible for .-the tenant he had
for a saloon adjoining the Murtens hotel
giving up tho place.
Mohn, when Justice Ouren refused to
Issue the search warrant under the cir
cumstances, went to County Attorney Kill
pack' who at once prepared one and had
It executed by the sheriff's force. The
stock seised was placed In Justice Ouren's
office pending a heating for Its disposition.
Roysl Area a ant Jdmr Balld.
Being fuced with the necessity of secur
ing new quarters, the members of Fidelity
council. Royal Arcanum, have decided to
organize a building association and articles
of Incorporation are now being drawn up
and will be filed In a few days. At the
meeting of the council Monday evening
stock subscriptions amounting to $5,000 were
received.
The object of the organisation of a build
ing association is to either build or pur
chase a suitable building as a home for
the lodge. Fidelity council has for nearly
twenty years occupied the hall on the third
floor of the Beno-Shugart block, between
Main and Pearl streets, but a Arm which
occupies the lower floors of the building
has leased the third floor as well and Fi
delity council has consequently to seek an
other meeting place. ,
The sentiment of the members seems to
be In favor of erecting a new building
rather than to purchase one which would
require extensive alterations.

STATE FAIR DRAWS A CROWD
Largest of Any Tuesday in the History of
the Association.
BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR REST OF WEEK
rnpnllats Who Will Hold Convention
Tharaday Do Knt Hope to Do More
Than Hold Tarty Organisa
tion Together.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Aug. L3.-fSpeclal.V
-The
nianngement of the state fair wss delighted
today by having a record breaking Tues
day at the state fair. Usually It has always
been difficult to get visitors to come out In
crowds until Wednesday or Thursday. This
year nn extra bill was prepared and special
efforts mndo to Induce crowds to come out.
As a result the attendance on the grounds
today exceeded anything ever known so
early In the week. The day was unusually
fine. The attendance a year ago was about
19.000, but this yeur it was upwards of 25,
0(0. This would Indicate that with good
weather continued the fair will have a
larger attendance for the week than In any
recent year.
The feature today was the soldiers' camp
fires and reunions. Lieutenant Colonel Earl
D. Thomas, In charge of Fort Des Moines,
came to the city with the four companies
of cavalry stationed nt the post, headed
by the Eleventh Regiment band, nnd at
noon escorted from the city the governor,
the president of the fair, the commander of
the Qrand Army and other distinguished
guests, and all marched Into tho fair
grounds to participate In n specially pre
pared program at the Qrand Army tent on
the grounds. Addresses were made by Gov
ernor A. B. Cummins, Commander R. T.
St. John, Representative W. S. Hart,
Colonel E. D. Thomas and others.
There were also reunions of the survivors
of tho Eighth, cavalry and other organiza
tions. Four bands furnished music on the
grounds today the Oskaloosa Regimental
band gave a concert In the main building
and Utter at the amphitheater; the Boys'
Kind from the State Industrial school at
Eldora. a concert In the stock pavilion
while Judging was In progress; the Min
nesota State band nt the Waterloo tent, and
tho Eleventh Cnvalry band.
The race track Is pronounced good nnd
fair races were had today. On Thursday
Dan. Patch, the eelrbrnted pacer, will make
a go against time on the track.
Hold Conventions Over Aarsln.
The prohibition party campaign managers
In Iowa have decided that they will take
no chances on Irregularity In the matter
of the nomination of their congressional
tickets. Some time ngo the fact became
known that a contest would be mode to
not allow the names of their congressional
candidates to go on the ticket because the
nominations were not made in the manner
contemplated by law. This fact was pub
lished and It alarmed the prohibitionists.
They had held a state convention at Boone
ami nominated a state ticket and at the
same time the delegates to the stute con
vention without any separate conventions
being called, met In district caucuses and
nominated the candidates for congress.
It was found that nominations made in
this way would not likely get on the official
ballots if a contest should be made. The
question hud never been raised before the
State Elections Board, but members had
expressed themselves as confident this was
Irregular. Now the prohibition state com
mittee has decided on holding separate con
ventions in the several districts and they
will go through the. form of having the
nominees nominated again. TIiIb will dis
pose of all contests.
Hones of the Populists.
The populist state convention Is to be
held In this city on Thursday, and all that
the men In charge of the party hope fo
do is to maintain an organization in the
hope that conditions will change und make
It possible for the party to gain some
strength ag.iln. Those who are remaining
with the organization are In fact the old
flat money people. Leonard Brown of this
city, one of those who participated in the
populist conference held a week ago, said:
"Wo can hardly hope to do anything this
year other than to keep up an organization.
The populist party will not come to the
front again until the financial question be
comes acute. Then It will become an Im
portant fuctor. The time will cony? again,

aa the result of seme crisis, when we will
realise that our gold standard la all wrong
We have no need of a gold standard. This
thin of requiring a specie basis Is all non
sense. The government has power to mske
money In any wsy desired. There Is no
money of the world, but every nation has
Its own money. Some day the people will
resilie this and then there will be a mis
slon for the populist party."
Lake Bed Purveys.
Prof. I A. Ashhaugh of the State Agri
cultural college has filed with the governor
three reports of surveys of lake beds In
northern Iowa, made under the direction
of the state executive council, and he ha
nearly completed three or four other sur
veys. The governor has called a meeting
of tho executive council fer next Saturday
morning to consider these reports nnd pass
upon the necessity for the drainage of the
lake hols. If the drainage Is ordered It
will mean reclaiming about l.noo acres of
land, which will revert to the state. They
are Island, Iowa, Swan and Rat lakes. This
will be the first attempt at the application
of the law passed by the last general as
sembly Intended to give relief to those por
tlons of the state where large ponds have
been meandered and until the state acts
they cannot be disposed of.
Eldora Band at the Fair.
Cdlonrl L. D. Drake, the newly appointed
superintendent of the State Industrial
School for Boys at Eldora, arrived in the
city today, accompanying the band from
that Institution, which has an engagement
of a week at the state fair. This band has
been maintained for many years and has
played almost every' year at the state fair.
For several years the orchestra from the
Girls' Industrial school nt Mitchcllvillc has
been giving concerts at the state fair, but
this year the orchestra could not come.
Tho boys' band la in charge ot Captain
Willis and thirty-seven came to piny at the
fair.
Coal on State Land.
Information has been received that work
men employed by the state on the state
farm In connection with the State Indus
trial School for Boys at Eldora have dis
covered a vein of coal at a depth of only
fifty-two feet. The state geologist had
reported signs of coal In that vicinity sev
eral years ago, but no prospecting had
been done. The evidence now is that the
state will be able to open a coal mine on
this property and take out sufficient coal
to supply the state Institutions. The state
has some coal on its land at Clarlnda and
a larger amount underlying its property at
Knoxvllle.
Rami Mall Carriers.
A state convention of the rural mall car
riers of Iowa wus held here today, but was
not very well attended. The meeting was
addressed by Postmnster McKay of tho
Des Moines office. F. H. Cunnlnghnm of
South Omahu, president of the National
Association of Rural Mall Carriers, was
present and spoke. One of the chief mat
ters discussed wai that of forming a mutual
life insurance association for the rural
carriers and nn association to insure their
horses.

ternal injuries may result in tho man's
death. It is said the man was asleep on
