GATES NOW OPEN ' :tBig Crowd Gites Promise of Moit Profper-f- cun Beaton of Pleasure. All ATTRACTIONS ARE UP TO STANDARD Parade Which Wai Opening Krfiit of Carnival aa Al(rc(lt aa I'snal and C ontain Some Stw Feat area. Vlth beautiful weather and a large at tendance both, afternoon and .evening, Council Bluffs' fourth annual street fair and carnival opened yesterday afternoon most auspiciously. Within an hour after the gates were thrown open the grounds Ware comfortably filled and the week's fun and Jollity had begun. The evening at tendance was largely augmented by crowds of merrymakers from Omaha, who have liberally patronized the carnival each year since Its Inception. With continued good weather. President Van Brunt and other members of the carnival committee expressed the opinion that everything seemed favorable for the street fair being a record breaker this year. All of the attractions offered by the Bralnerd-Fatterson Carnival company were well patronised and the free shows proved fully up to the standard. The . "Kentry Btore," presided over by the young women Of St. Paul's Episcopal church, began do Ins business right away, and many a dime found its way Into the strong box of the guild. Many of the booths are especially attractive this year and the general din play Is conceded to be bigger and better than last year. Covalt's band, which has been augmented to thirty ' pieces. Is proving as popular as ever and Its concerts attracted Immense audiences. In this respect an improvement Is noted hi the large number of extra seats provided by the management this year. . The opening of the carnival was pre- led by the usual parade, although this ar the Jabor organisations did not par ticipate as In previous years. Despite this drawback the parade was a striking one, and . the "white .capped", brigade was, aa usual, out In large numbers, A novel feature of this year's parade was the long line of automobiles, headed by J. F. Wil cox's touring car, most beautifully deco rated with flowers, the machine present ing the appearance of an arbor of Liberty roses. Former Alderman Casper, who brought up the rear of the Automobile line, had his machine attached to a haul jiig wagon by a long rope, although It was x r" easy to be seen that the car was being propelled by Its own power. On the wagon was a big algn reading, "Slow speed." The Dodge Light Guards, In command of Cap tain Rutherford, made, as usual, a fine showing, going through a number of In tricate drills along the line of march. The parade was formed as follows: Major O. H. Richmond, Chief Marshal. Platoon of Police, In Command of Captain ONoH. Street Fair and Carnival Committee in Carriages, i City 'Ofllclula In Carriages.

Hopkins ,an Illinois Central brakeman, living at 1407 West Broadway, being the alleged victim. Hopkins and Stewart were boyhood friends back In Van Buren county seventeen years ago and when the latter came to this city two years ago with a number of bonds of the Detroit, Pontine A DePlerre railroad to dispose of Hopkins was easily Induced to part with $500 In exchange for one of the bonds, relying as he did on Stewart's word that they were as good as gold. Shortly after Stewart secured the money from Hopkins he left for other parts omitt ing to advise Hopkins of his destination. When Stewart struck town yesterday he was seen by Richard Bolte, a special officer In the employ of the Illinois Central who was aware of the fact that Hopkins had parted with isno of his -hard earned money for a worthless bond and he kept an eye on Stewart until Hopkins could be com municated with. When Stewart was taken Into custody last evening he begged Hop kins not to file any charge against him, promising to pay the 1500 back If Hopklna would not prosecute.

There was a time In the good old days when the state on the southern border was a veritable Gretna Green for lovesick swains and their fair Dtilclneas owing to the laxity of the Mis souri marriage laws, which permitted a magistrate or minister to marry without the formality of a license. Last Wednes day afternoon Mayor Norcutt of this city united in marriage a Rock port. Mo., couple, Gus L. Kunrln and Anna L. Mut key. Who could not get married at homo owing to the fact that one of the parties had recently been divorced and was for bidden to marry Inside of a year, but the decree of a Missouri court is not binding In Iowa. One day last week a gentleman 'phoned over from Nebraska City to Inquire whether the laws of Iowa permitted the marriage of first cousins, and upon re ceiving an affirmative answer, Immediately came over with a lndy and was united In marriage at the office of Justice Hoop. Thus, though the home matrimonial mar ket. Is on the slump we can reach out into the markets of the world and get busi ness. Monona Supervisors Meet. ONAWA, la., Sept. 4. (Special.)

( CHOLERA CASES IN PRUSSIA Eight Few Catei of iha Dimm Baporttd by the Authorities, SCATTERED AT SEVEN DIFFERENT POINTS Reports From Private Soarcea Shove Grenter Jtamber of Cases Than Admitted by the Authorities. BROMBERG, Prussia. Sept. 4. The local government has been notified of the follow ing cases of cholera: One each In Nakel, Stoewen, Csarnlfau, Brlefendorff, Roman shof and Walkewiti and two In Welssen hoche. Three deaths have occurred In the Bromberg district. MARIENWERDER, West Prussia, Sept 4. Five new cases of cholera have been reported, two at Thorn, one each at Gra- bowka, Mocker and Treull. All the annual meetings of the various societies, such as agricultural, veterans and religious bodies, fixed to occur in this part of Prussia during September, have been Indefinitely postponed owing to the out break of cholera. BERLIN, Sept. 4.-5 p. m. It was effl dally bulletined today that sixty-six cholera cases and twenty-three deaths have occurred In Prussia. Of this number ten new cases and three deaths were re ported up to noon today. The number of cases reported by pri vate sources since the official bulletin was made up Indicates a total of fully seventy While anxiety is not yet the word to describe the feeling In the Imperlat health offloe, concern over the cholera situation does not exist. Most of the new eases do not break out among the quarantined per sons, but are suddenly heard of In farm htfuses and villages not contiguous to the Vistula. Hence the Inference Is that the infected areas are widening slowly and that the measures to hold the disease, strictly within the existing boundaries have not been fully adequate. The measures, however, are being sharply increased. Or dere were Issued today to close all the re freshment houses along the Vistula except those located In towns. These small res taurants and bars are frequented by river men, who are the most likely to be In fected. In anticipation of cholera reaching Ber lin the government began the erection yes terday of two barracks for choleVa pa tients or suspected Illness at Koepenlck, on the rivet Spree, near Berlin, and also es tabllshed an inspection station for river traffic. CULM, Prussia, Sept. 4.-Of the nine cholera rases which were first discovered here, four deaths have oocurred. All the dredgers employed along the Vistula are under close observation. HAMBURG, Sept. 4.-The authorities de clare there are no new cases of cholera in Hamburg and they believe that the further spread of the dlsoaae Is Impossi ble. Thirty-one Russian emigrants who ar rived here with the Russians who died of the disease August 29 and who were bound for the United States, ss well as 1.000 others who were discharged from the Hamburg-American line steamer Moltke, have been detained on board the com pany's steamer Bulgaria, anchored In mid stream in the Elbe, off Brunshausen, for four days without the disease breaking out among them. They have, however, been subjected to a thorough fumigation and all their baggage has been disinfected. These emigrants have been examined dally by the company's doctors, and. If tomorrow passes without symptoms of the disease flie Bulgaria will sail for the United States Wedncsdsy or Thursday. CLOUDBURST IN NEW YORK Two Villages Threatened with De struction and Sevem.1 Houses Are Washed Away.' UTICA, N. Y., Sept. 4.-The vlllago of New Berlin and Edmeston were nearly de stroyed by a cloudburst which occurred last evening. It had been raining all day and the streams were very high.

The extent of the damage cannot be detailed, as communication was cut off early today and little Information can be obtained from the flooded district. In New Berlin one new house occupied by Mrs. J. M. Demlng was washed down through the main street and carried away. The woman has not been rescued and It is supposed that she has been drowned. Three barns containing horses and other stock, a blacksmith shop, carriage shops and two small houses also were washed down the main street.

Notwithstanding the petition of over R.000 of the most representative nnd public spirited women of the state and the ap peals of thousands of others, the Georgia legislature has again denied protection o the wage earning children of that state under 12 years of age by killing the child labor bill presented at the summer ses sion. For years the club women of Georgia have worked te rescue the children from the deplorable conditions that govern them In the factories and mills, and each suc cessive effort has subjected them to the humllntlon of being Ignored or set aside upon one transparent excuse after an other. And now through the press and the pulpits of the state the women are be ginning to cry out against and denounce the boasted chivalry of the men of Georgia, and to ask of the public what It is that commends to their Intelligence or toler ance a system pf child labor so brutal that It will no longer be tolerated In other states.

PATHETIC RELIC OF THE WAR Man nnd Wife, Both Blind, Who Lost Their Eyesight In the Grent Civil Conflict. The unusual sight of the blind leading the blind was witnessed by a large crowd at the Union depot yesterday afternoon, when John Wilson and his wife, both totally blind, passed through Omaha from a Massachusetts town en route to the Grand Army encampment at Denver. In the presence of the sightless old couple there hangs a tale of unusual devotion of a husband nnd wife, together with a ro mance which began before the civil war. The two old people arrived over the Northwestern early yesterday afternoon and transferred here to the Rock Island train mhleh carried 'them to their desti nation. The old mnn told the story to a crowd of interested listeners at the depot yes terday, of how they both beoame blind while his wife sat by and corroborated every detail of the Interesting tale, and occasionally prompting him as to dates, etc. At . the outbreak of the civil war John Wilson was living on his father's farm near Salem. Mass., and when the call for volunteers enme he responded and en listed In the Fifty-sixth Massachusetts reg iment. He was engaged to e married to Miss Minnie Rhlmers, and when his Intended bride heard of his enlistment In the army, she at once made up her mind to go along with the soldiers and do her share for what she considered the great cause, and consequently she went with an other regiment as a nurse. The two did not see each other from the time the call for volunteers came until the close of the war, when It was learned that both the young people had met with similar accidents and both had lost their sight In the discharge of their duty to their country. Young Wilson's eyes were burned by the explosion of a pan of powder In an old rifle which he was cleaning. Ho was taken to the hospital tent where he was given all the medical attention possible, but all efforts to save his eyesight were futile. Miss Rhlmers, the nurse, met with a similar accident, she having been burned by the explosion of a can of powder which was In the hospital tent, while she wss administering relief to the wounded. When the young private who hnd lost his eyesight learned of his Intended wlfo's affliction, and -when the young woman learned of what had befallen her soldier love:-, nelthei wavered from their first In tention, and the pair was married In Salem. Since then more misfortune has over taken the couple, who are now bent with the weight of years, and both have bad to do whatever work they could to make a living. The couple have gone to Denver with a handorgnn where they expect to make a little stake to tide them over the wlnter--nelther he nor she are complain ing In the least over their misfortune and they say that they will stay by each other as long as they live. Some kind hearted person from their home town In Massachusetts procured transportation for them and gave them money to go to the encampment and talk over the war times with their comrades and to "see" the men fhom they have not seen since the days of the civil war.
