PRACTICAL WORK TO BE SHOWN Addresses Cover a Wide Range of Topics la Connection with (he Maklaa- and Preserrlaa; f Reads. Prof. Thomas H. MacDonald of the State college at Ames, who Is secretary of the Iowa Highway commission, while In the city yesterday announced the complete program for the fourth annual meeting of the Iowa Good Roads association to be held In this city In connection with the street fair and carnival. Speaking of the good roads convention and the "road school" Prof. MacDonald said: "We expect thla to be the moat portent good roads meeting ever held In this state. The street fair and carnival will prove aa usual a great attraction and will be the means of bringing many farm ers to the city whom the good roads con vention alone would not draw here. Fifty six per cent of the population of Iowa Is agricultural. The farmers must be "shown" In the matter of road Improve ment before they can be Induced to take hold of new Ideas. An actual demonstra tion is necessary to show, them that the Ideas are practical. The commission Is ob taining good results from Its work, but slowly. At present we are concentrating our efforta on culverts, bridges and earth roads. The coming convention has been well advertised throughout the state and we anticipate good results from it." The officers and committees In charge of the good roads convention who will have their headquarters In the rooms of the Commercial club are: Iowa Highway Commission Directors, A. Marston, Ames.

When the flremen were testing a hydrant yeaterday morning on South Eighth street the stream of water frightened a team hitched to a delivery wagon of Julius Jen sen, a grocer at 917 South Main street. The driver, a young boy, had gone Into a house to deliver an order end had failed to tie his horses. The horses started on the gal lop along Sixteenth avenue and probably would have dashed Into a saloon at the southwest corner of the avenue and Eighth street when the firemen testing another hydrant turned the stream on them. This caused the now thoroughly frightened corses to swerve fend they were brought to a halt. Uphotatertas. George W. Klein, 18 South Main atrcet. 'Phones: Ind., 710; Bell, 64S. Implement Firm Coming.

Oat Than on Opening Day of Last Year. NO INCREASE IN CREAM RATE Commission Not I Sea Roade to Take Mo Action Until After a Heart n Is Had Corn eds Another Month to Matare. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. Aug. 24.-8peelal.)-No admission fee was charged today at the opening day of the state fair and the at tendance cannot be known accurately, but It is estimated to be considerably larger than last year on the opening day. Everything was bustle at the fair grounds from early this morning. The exhibits are not In place yet, many of them, as It Is customary to use Friday and Satur day of the flrst week for that purpose. Tralnloads of live stock are being un loaded and gotten Into the barns and wagon loads of machinery from the trans fer houses, which for three weeks have been busy on the work of getting the machinery out to the grounds, were today till hauling out machinery exhibits. In spite of all the confusion there waa an unusually large attendance for tho opening day and the officers of the fair are predicting an unusually successful state fair. Every railroad leading Into Des Moines haa made extensive prepara tions to run special trains and all Indica tions look to a very successful state fair. Bio Increase In Hate. The railroad commission has sent out an order to the railroads Instructing thnm not to enforce the Increase rate on cream till the commission can have a heari-.ig on the matter. In conformity with the action all over the country In many states of Increasing the rates on milk and cream, the railroads of Iowa gave notice of an Increase, to take effect September 1. Creamery men of Iowa have petitioned the railroad commission to prevent the Increase and the commission haa notified the railroads to suspend action till a hearing Is had. Corn Not needy. John R. Sage, director of the crop and weather service of Iowa, said today that there Is no corn In the state that Is ready to be cut as fodder, as 'it has not reached the milk stage. He thinks It will take good weather all through thla and nex; month. For Illeaal Use of Malls. C. C. Cummlngs, who represented the United States Realty and Auction company with headquarters In Chicago and branches In Omaha, Des Moines and other cities Is wanted by the federal authorities for using the United States malls In an attempt to defraud. An Information has been filed with Clerk McArthur of the United States court here. Cummlngs Is also under Indict ment of the Polk county grand Jury. He operated a school of Instruction for real estate agents the pupils paying fees of $6 to 326 In advance for which the pupils never received any service. When last heard of Cummlngs was In Denver. May Escheat to State. The Clipper estate of 810,000 may es cheat to the state of Iowa and will unless the will of the late John Clipper Is found. John Clipper lived In Monroe county and died leaving no heirs. He at one time made a will leaving hla money to the Cleaver family of Albla. This will was filed with the county clerk, but the records show that It waa afterwards with drawn. The Cleaver family ts endeavor ing to discover the will or have It pro bated aa a lost will, but It Is doubtful If this can be done. Book Men Meet Carroll. Blank book manufacturers of Iowa are In Des Moines In conference with Auditor of State Carroll relative to the new blank forms to be devised by the County Uni form Accounts commission. Tho commis sion has not completed Its work yet and has adjourned for a month. Railroads Don't Report. It Is generally believed that the railroads do not expect to pay any attention to the law enacted by the last legislature requir ing them to report all accidents to the railroad commission. In trying to get a report on the Keystone wreck on the Mil waukee the commission became convinced of this. The trouble Is that the law car ries no penalty clause and Is only man datory, being thus of about as much force and effect on the railroads In Iowa as the laws of the Medes and Persians. Chairman Ketchum of the board Is thinking of mak ing an appeal to the railroads kindly In viting them to observe the law. It Is quite certain that when tlje next legislature meets there will be a nice, lanro penalty clausa tacked onto the end of the law. Forma Law Partnership. Attorney General Byers has formed a law partnership In this city with Howard Clark of the firm of Clark & McLaughlin, and It Is understood In political circles that this takes Mr. Byers entirely out of the governorship question for which he haa been prominently mentioned at various limes. The law firm of Clark & McLaugh lin Is dissolved because Mr. McLaughlin gives nil his time after September 1 to the Northwestern railroad. Mr. Byers still retains l is residence in Harlan. Ia., and remains a member of the law firm thrru of Byers. Lock wood Byers.
