Close t'v.
After a week of unprecedented success In
very respect the fifth annual street fair
and carnival In Council Bluffs will ba
brought to a close tonight. Everything In
dicated that this year's carnival would
be a record-breaker and It has proven so.
Up to Thursday night the ticket sales at
the gntes had reached within a few hun
dred of 80.0U0, and this does no Include the
coupon tickets, season tickets and passes.
Over l.Ono coupon books were sold, besides
over 3mo season tickets, and upwards ot
ar)1 passes. Th-., holders of these classes
of admission. It IS estimated, added about
1000 to the daily admission, not to mention
the large number of employes and attend
ants at the vartous booths and conces
sions. The closing of the .street fair tonight will
be marked by the crowning of the carnival
queen. Charles W. McDonald, president ot
the Commercial club, has been selected to
place the crown on the head of the for
tunate young woman and this Is In Itself
a guarantee that the ceremony will be per
formed with all due dignity and eclat. The
crowning will take place In the bandstand.
In full view of the thousands who are ex
pected to be In attendance on the grounds
tonight. 1
Interest In the contest for carnival Queen
Is becoming keener as the closing hour for
voting Is getting near. The vote last night
at o'clock stood aa follows:
Miss Marian Macrae !...1,97
Miss Hasel Ehle 1,902
Miss Florence Squire.... ...,... 1,S
Miss Bessie Sherlock 1.7:2
Owing to the Immense crowds anxious to
witness Beautiful Bagdad the management
found It necessary to give two peform
ances each night Instead of one, which had
prevailed up to Wednesday night. Even
with two performances hundreds were un
able to secure admission to this popular
attraction. It Is generally conceded that
Beautiful Bagdad Is the best attraction of
fered by any carnival company at any of
the street fairs In this city.
One thing especially noticeable about the
carnival this year has been the absence of
th rowdy element. The grounds have been
well poltoed and there have been no dis
turbances. A few persons have been
showed the outside of the gates because
they evidenced the fact they were more or
less intoxicated, but' this was to be ex
pected. Special precautions will be taken
tonight to prevent any rowdyism at the
closing. . "
Today will be designated Elks' and
Eagles' day and members of both orders
are expected to turn out In full force, t

TROIBMC FOR PATRICK RATIO A
Wife Seeks Divorce and Other Legal
.Redress.
Atl kinds of trouble wss set In motion
yesterday for Patrick J. Ratlgan. a farmer
living near McClelland, la., and his wife
was the motive power. Mrs. Ratlgan, ac
companied by three Uttle children, arrived
In the city yesterday noon arid secured
a room at a Main street hotel. She lost
no time In securtng the services of an at
torney and before the court bouse closed
last evening three different suits had been
started by the wife.
In, one suit Mrs. Ratlgan seeks a di
vorce and the custody of hep three minor
children, alleging that her husband had
treated her In a cruel and Inhuman- man
ner and that his habitual fondness for
strong liquor was the cause of all their
troubles. To secure her claim for ali
mony, Mrs. Ratlgan secured from Judge
Green an attachment for $600 on her hus
band's property. The Ratlgans were mar
ried August 8, 1900, at Weston, la.
Alleging that Wilmott & Bennett, pro
prietors of a saloon In Underwood haa
repeatedly sold her husband liquor after
sho had warned them not to do so, Mrs.
Ratlgan filed suit against them, demand
ing 15.000 damages.
In order to make things completo Mrs.
Ratlgan then filed an Information charg
ing her husband with being 'a chronic
dipsomaniac and asking that he be com
mitted to the State Hospital for Inebriates
at Knoxvllle. Judge Green Issued the
warrant and the sheriff will execute It
today.
At the court house Mrs. Ratlgan stated
he waa afraid to return home becauso
she feared that her husband, who had
been drinking heavily for several days, as
she alleged, would kill her. "Anyhow,"
she said, "there Is nothing In the house
for me and my little ones to eat or drink
except whisky, and when Tleft there was
big jug of that."

Republican Coasmltteo Isaacs Reply
to Speech of Claade ft. Porter,
Democratic Candidate
for Governor.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES. Sept. 7. (Speclal.)-Busl-nesa
men are asking the legislative Insur
ance commission to Investigate the propo
sition to hsve the legislature create an In
surance commission to fix Insurance rates.
The matter was brought to the attention
of the oom mission today by a letter from
Mr. E. A. Nye of this city. H. II. Lants,
an" Insurance agent, Is the originator of the
Ides. The rates on Mrs Insurance risks
In this state as In many others wss fixed
by a board and known as the "board"
rate. " All Insurance companies write at
those rates only. Henry Bennett of Cedar
Rapids wss chairman of the board and the
enforcement of the rates was rigid till the
legislature passed the anti-compact law,
wh'rh made board rates Illegal. Insur
ance men now assert that the companies
are losing money because of the cheap
rates. They propose that His legislature
be asked to create a commission that will
fix' adequate rates Just as the railroad com
mission fixes freight rstes. The legisla
tive commission beyond briefly discussing
the proposition has taken no action and it
Is not known now whether they will give
such radical legislation any consideration
or not.

by the father did riot meet Parker till
three weeks ago In Logan. It seems to
have been a case of lovs at first sight and
although the glrl'a father forbade It he
fears they have left together to get mar
ried. .
Reformed Spelling.
State officials will not adopt the simplified
spelling. Not an official at the state house
can be found who favors it to the extent
of adopting It In official correspondence.
Several of the- officials believe there Is
room foP considerable reform In spelling,
but believe in the gradual growth of the
reform rather than the abrupt adoption
of the change. They believe it would be
all right If all would adopt tt, but aa
some will not they believe the adoption
by some would cause confusion.
Martin Wlthont Authority,
Secretary of State W. B." Martin said
today that he did not have any authority
other than to approve or disapprove of
the work of the state binder. The State
'Federation of Labor and the Des Moines
Trades and Labor assembly have filed with
the secretary of state a protest against
the payment to the state binder for bind
ing the official registers on the ground
that the work, contrary to law, waa done
outside the state. .The amount Involved
Is about 32,000 and the union labor men
assert that the work la contracted to be
done In Chicago. They ask the secretary
of state to refuse to pay the bills. Mr
Martin aald today that ha recognised, that
the law require the work to be dona In'
side the state, but that he had no authority
to- Investigate and find out whether or not
it waa so . done, and np appropriation. 1

Committee Isaacs Statement.
Securing possession of an advanced copy
of tha address of Claude R. Porter, the
democ ratio nominee for governor, at Ot
tumwa last night. State Ctuilrm&n Frank
P. Woods of the republican state commit'
tee set his literary bureau to work and
the result is a statement Issued today to
all republican' newspapers in the' state In
which the weak places in Porter's speech
ara pointed out. The chief claim of Chair
man Woods Is that Porter Is trying to
stand on a "tariff for revenue only" demo
cratic platform and yft win the votes of
the 1 lgh protective tariff republicans of the
state, tie points out tnat porter attacks
Governor Cummins for not voting for the
elective system ft or th railroad commis
sion and then attempts to show that under
the elective system freight rates have been
higher than In other states; that Porter
attacks the republican state platform and
says its. declaration against domination of
corporations is "new and novel" and then
quotes from the writings of Lieutenant
Governor Herriott, Secretary Shaw and
others of the party leaders, in which they
take a stand against corporation domina
tion; that Porter warns democrats "not to
be mislead" In the matter of Cummins'
alleged "democratic tendencies" and then
for the purpose of winning republican
votes devotes a great part of his address
to try to show that Cummins does "differ
from his party." The statement of Chair
man Woods Is a preliminary and general
anawer to Porter and further document
will be mailed to the republican press of
the state analysing the speech more In de
tail and more at length on some of his ut
terances.
