CHILDREN OUT IN AFTERNOON
Old Settlers Are Expected to Knell
the Crowds Today and Big Attend
ance Anticipated If Weather
Continues Good.
By for the biggest day yet," remarked
II. H. Van Brunt, treasures' of tho Street
Fair and Carnival association, as he stood
and surveyed the surging crowds on Ihe
grounds last night. But for the vantage
ground afforded by the portion of Baylies
park enclosed within the fence the atreets
within the carnival enclosure could not
have contained the Immense throng by any
means.
Needless to state that with such a crowj
all of the shows and attractions did a
tretnendous business. At thexStadium hun
dreds were turned away, the big tent being
crowded to Its capacity at each pcrform
nnce. The same was true of the other
attractions. At the dancing pavilion, hun
dreds waited patiently In line for a chance
to take a whirl upon the noor.
There was no disorder despite the Im
mense crowds on the grounds and every
one seined to have the time of hla or her
life. Eurly In tho evening the confetti
was exhausted and aevcral of the candy
and refreshment booths were sold- out
long before closing time. So great was
the c.owd that It waa with difficulty the
free shows In the park could be given.
Covalt's band, as usual, proved a strong
drawing card and thousands congregated
In front of the bandstand at each concert.
With good weather, the management sees
no reason why today should not be another
record breaker. It la estimated that at
least 12,000 people passed the gates last
night. The attendance during the after
noon, while mostly comprised of children,
waa excellent.

TRAINED ROAD BI'II.DERS NEEDED
Engineer Dean Insists County Should
liar Charge.
As on Wednesday, the session of the
Iowa Good Roads association, scheduled
for the morning yesterday, was postponed
until the afternoon, aa those In attendance
desired to put In the morning hours at
the road building and culvert demonstra
tlona in the south part of the city.
One of the principal addresses at the
meeting was that by Beth Dean of Glen
wood, engineer In charge of the construc
tion of the HarrlBon-Pottawattamle county
dralnago ditches. His aubjeet was "The
Neceaalty of Trained Supervision In Road
and Bridge Work." He contended that such
trained supervision waa the crying need
In all .the countlea of the state and that
the county should be the unit of all road
and bridge work done throughout the stale.
Mr. Dean answered the natural question
as to where such trained supervision, waa
to be obtained by' stating that the state
has furnished two schools, one at Ames
and one at Iowa Cily, which turn out en
gineers every year who would stay In thla
atate If a suitable field waa open to them,
that la. If the countiea would all have
county engineers, etc.
A. N. Johnson, state highway engineer
of Illinois, spoke on "Bridge and Culvert
Problems." and M. E. Bannon, civil engi
neer of Fort Madison, spoke on "Founda
tion Problems." The closing address was
by B. Stanton, superintendent of roads of
Dallas county, who told of the work done
In his county.
Following the general meeting a session
of the association waa held at which, on
motion of Colonel W. F. Baker, all of the
old officers were unanimously re-elected
for the ensuing year. They are:
President Henry Harlow, Onawa.
Vice President A. C. Steele, Coon Rap
11. Secretary Thoma II. MacDonald. Ames.
fcxvut'v Committee Henry Hnag, Jef
ferson: James Q. Berryhlll, Oes IS'ilnes; C
Y. Turtles, Ames.
Superintendent of Oradlng Demonstra
tion Henry Harlow. Onawa.
Superintendent of Concrete Demonstra
tions F. L. Reeder, Tipton.
The selection of the place of meeting
next year was left with the officers of the
association. It waa, however, suggested
that It would be a good plan to hold the
meeting and the road school of the Iowa
Highway commission at Waterloo, where
the State Associations of County Super
visors and oll-.er county ofTlcere will be
helA-
The road building and culvert demonstra
tions will be continued today.

Twentieth Annual Session of Society
of the .Ml sonar I Valley.
The twentieth annual meeting of tho
Medical Society of the Missouri Valley

In the absence of the president. Dr. O.
Beverly Campbell of St. Joseph, who did
not reach the city until shortly before
'tj o'clock. Dr. Daniel Jackson, chairman of
the local committee on arrangements
called the meeting to order and Dr. J. M.
Emmert of Atlantic, the only living one
of the three doctors who algned the call
for the organization of the society, waa
called upon to preside. In a brief ad
dress Dr. Emmert told of the organisation
of the society and availed himself of the
opportunity to pay a high tribute to the
character of the late Dr. Donald Macrae,
both as a citizen and a physician.
Dr. Donald Macrae, Jr., was selected as
temporary treasurer to All the vacancy
caused by the death of his father, and Drs.
J. M. Barstow of this city and A. S. Von
Monsfelde of Ashland, Neb., were added
to the committee on credentials. These

lutions on the deaths of Dr. Donald Mac
rae and Dr. T. B. Lacey, both of this
City: Dr. C. W. Fassett, Dr. A. S. Von
Mansfeldc and Dr. C. H. Ilardln.
The report of Dr. Charles Wood Fassett,
secretary of the society, showed the mem
bership to be 3S4, a gain of twenty-aeven
ever the preceding year. During the year
the society lost nineteen members, three
by death, one by resignation and fifteen
for nonpayment of dues. Forty-six new
members were enrolled: From Iowa, lb;
Missouri, 6; Nebraska, 29; Illinois, 1; Kan

death of Dr. B. F. Crummer of Omaha,
Dr. T. B. Lacey and Dr. D. Macrae of this
city, charter membera and ex-presjdents
of tho society, aa follows:
The memory of these men will long re
main with every fellow of the association,
and the work which they did for the
upbuilding of our cause is a matter of
history. Dr. Macrae, as one of its founders,
first president of our society and for many
years Its treasurer, gave the beat years
of his life to the cause of humanity, and
hla interest In our association and Its work
never waned. Up to within a few weeks
before his death, although unable to attend
to hla practice, he was deeply concerned In
preparing for the present meeting of our
society. His name shall be deeply graven
upon the tableta of our hearts; peace to Ms
ashes.
"In love he ptactlced, and In patience
taught
The sacred art that battles with disease;
Nor stained by one disloyal act or thought,
Tho holy symbol of Hippocrates."
The society placed Itself on record as
favoring the creation of the government
public health department, by adopting the
following resolutions:
Whereas, The president of the Pnltod
Statea has recognlxed the Importance of
more adequate protection of the public:
health and a better organisation of the
medical department, as advocated for yeara
by the American Medical association, and
Whereas, Ha has called for an expres
sion from organized bodies as to the
wisdom of creating a new department, or
attaching-- another branch to one of the
departments already in existence; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the members of the Medi
cal Society of the Missouri Valley desire
to go on record aa favoring n entirely
new and distinct department of health, as
a separate department of the federal gov
ernment, and be It further
Resolved, That It la essential that this
department shall be In charge of a capable
medical man. who shall no a member of
the president's cabinet and of equal rank
with other members of the official port
folio, and be it further
Resolved, That these resolutions be
printed In the dally papers and In the
medical press and copies sent to the presi
dent and to the members of the scientific
committee appointed for the purpose of In
vestigating this question, and te It further
Resolved. That we. as members of the
I Medical Society of the Missouri Valley,
i assist In the promotion of thla cause by
i having similar resolutions adopted by our
! local boards of trade and commercial clubs
At the evening session Secretary Fassett

LAW TO BE TESTED IN THE COURT
Aaattor Carroll Sits Down on KnsF
tlon of a Foorth Term, hat Pos
sibly Mar Be a Caaaldate
(or Governor.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Sept. .-(8peclal.)-An eCr
fcctlve method of handling the boxcar
merchant trouble that city councils and
state legislstures have been trying so long
to solve Is being disclosed in the pure food
law. The retail merchants' assoclationa of
the state have taken the matter up, ca
peclally the grocera, and whenever a box
cur merchant strikea town they notify
the atate food and dairy commissioner and
have an Investigation. These Investiga
tions have resulted In oome fines being
Imposed for selling Impure food.
At Waterloo two men engaged in deliv
ering grocerlea were arrested because they
refused to sell samples to the state ln
spctor, Slegel ' Vendcbogart. They were
lined t'Ji each, and, refusing to pay, were
tent to Jail. They have appealed to the
district court.
Tho boxcar merchants assert they are
engaged In Interstate commerce, but tha
state food and dairy commissioner says
not. The custom la to take orders before
the shipments. The shipments are then
made to the town, where the packages are
opened and the ordera delivered. The orig
inal package Idea comes into play. When
the concerns shipping the goods in from
out of the state break the packages shipped
It makes the goods subject to the state
law.
Carroll Kills Idea.
Auditor Carroll effectually killed the sug
gestion of him as a candidate for a fourth
term as auditor by declaring tbat he would
not hear to the Idea. He has been men
tioned repeatedly with favor for governor
and It Is understood that unless he Is a
candidate for governor he will not be a
cand.date for anything.
Mlxnp In Church.
Because Rev. Mr. Dcrdron Insisted on
having a business meeting of the First
African Baptist church when the mem
bers wanted to have a rellgloua prayer and
experience meeting, he waa arrested today
for disturbing a religious gathering. Mr.
Derdron succeeded Rev. Mr. Lomack, who
waa many times In the police court here.
Now the members Insist he wss not given
full authority to act aa pastor and had
no right to Insist on a business meeting
being held. He called In two policemen to
help adjourn the meeting last night.

CRESTON. la., Sept. S.-(Speclal.)-The
trouble between the Creston Water Works
company and the city of Creston, which
has beon brewing for some time, promises
to come to a head In a few days. City At
