gang was at work In the same district
flushing sewers and had one or more hy

the water company -of the district lit which
tests were to be made yesterday morning,
consequently no previous preparation could
be made. The pressure did not come up

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION
Complete Program is Announced by
Prof. MacDonsld.
PRACTICAL WORK TO BE SHOWN

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:

rection of Colonel W. F. Baker, member
of the board of supervisors, will start

ing If they are suitable for Indian creek.

John Bennett, cashier of the State Sav
ings bank, received word yesterday from
Wichita, Kan., of the death of A. Culver,
a former business man of this city. Mr.
Culver came to Council Bluffs in 1866 and

In 1900 Mr. Culver, with Mr. Wood, ex

Mr. Culver was married In this city Oc

contents of the glass. Dr. J. M. Barstow

usual remedies Mrs. Lewis waa removed
to Mercy hospital. It Is thought she will
recover. The young woman was despondent

Water Frightens Hones.
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.

BIG ATTENDANCE AT FAIR
Mora People. 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. Wh'le Mr.
Byers haa In tho past sought to dlscoraje
