accident of a serious nature occurred aa
compared to former years. The discharge
of blank cartridge! in revolvers were ta

and tbo usual detonations from this source
were ir.ins'ng even at the ball game, where
In former years fans had been wont to
exhibit their appreciation of base hit by
shooting off blank cartridges. Another
feature which was not as noticeable as
In former years was the explosion of tor
pedoes on the tracks of the street railway
company. Several persons were arrested
for these offenses Friday nlsht, but not
desiring to deprive them of the enjoyment
of the day's festivities Judge , Crawford
discharged them In police court. Their ar
rest, however, had the effect of putting a
atop to the practice.

South Fourteenth street. ' With a number
of other newsboys young Pasha was en
gaged In shooting a small cannon near

up by the premature explosion of a giant
cannon cracker which he was holding In

. of hla thumbs and the use of one hand for
several weeks to come. The accident oc
curred In front of the boy's home at Fif
teenth and Vinton streets. He was attended
by Dr. Holovtchlnor.
Early Saturday morning an explosion of
powder badly burned the face of Henry

home when someone across the street shot
a Roman candle so close to her that one
ball struck her In. the face. She was taken
by Miss Magee of the city mission to Po

bums. Marietta Is quite a famous char
acter considering her 4 years and meagre
knowledge of English. Having been in
this country but two years, she can't tell
.her own name, but her habit of constantly
smiling has earned her a reputation and
a nickname.
What might have been one of the most
serious accidents of the day was prevented
by Officer Woolrldge about noon Saturday
when he espied a number of young men
on Twentieth street near the Union Paclflo
tracks surrounding a large cannon. The
cannon had about a two-Inch bore and
weighed over 100 pounds. When Officer

Not a Single Accident Due to Explo

BIG CROWD VISIT3 THE PARK
Old-Fash loned Celebration Enjoyed
Daring; the Afternoon, with n
Display of Firework
In Evening;.
With weather conditions, that could not
be excelled Council Bluffs enjoyed not
only a glorious, but a sane and safe
Fourth of July. If there were any acci
dents due to the celebration of Independ
ence day In this city they were with one
exception not reported to the authorities.
The one accident that required the atten
tion of the city physician was of a minor
character, the party hurt being struck by a
swing In Falrmount park.
It might be truly said that everybody
In Council Bluff observed the great na
tional holiday In some manner or another.
Hundreds of families took advantage of
the glorious weather to enjoy a picnic
either In Falrmount park, Lake Manawa
or in some sequestered woodland spot
near the city. Others crossed the river
and took in the attractions at the resorts
In Omaha.
At times during the day so great waa
the exodus to the parka and other resorts
that the streets of the city were literally
deserted. At the close of the public ex
ercises In Falrmount park the streets
again were filled with pleasure seekers,
many of those who took In the festivities
at Falrmount park going to Lake Manawa
for the balance of the holiday.
The day was a remarkably orderly one.
due In a great measure to the fact that all
of the galoons, In accordance with the pro
vision of the Iowa mulct law, were kept
closed the entire day. Violations of the
city ordinance prohibiting the discharge of
revolvers, shotguns, giant crackers and
other dangerous explosives were few and
far between, and tne police were not called
upon to make a single arrest In this con
nection. One lone cane, designed for dis
charging dynamite caps, could be seen
gaclng the desk of Sergeant Nlcoll at
police headquarters, and It had been taken
away from a youth who came to the Bluffs
from Omaha.
No Accidents Reported.
Inquiry among the doctor failed to
bring to light any case of Injury from fire
works, and none was reported to police
headquarters. Even with the Immense
crowds which It handled to and from Falr-
mount park during the afternoon and eve
ning, and to and from Lake Manawa prac
tically all day, no accident was reported
on the street railway lines. The service
was all that could be desired under the
circumstances.
The public celebration at Falrmount park
attracted a crowd, estimated over 600
people. Th exercises were held at the
bandstand, following which there were a
number of races and other sports for the
children, with two or three events for the
older folk. Including a chase for a well
greased porker, which was open to every
body.
Mayor Msloney presided at the exercise,
which were opened with patriotic selections

Attorney Fred Wlliams of Neola.
Address of the Day.
Mr. Williams, who took as the subject
for his oration "The True American," said
In part:
It gives me great pleasure to greet an
American people today, composed of Amer
ican men, American women and American
children. American In spirit, because you
are a part of the greatest nation of the
earth, and the nation of the greatest des
tiny. Emblematlc of America is the word
"Freedom "freedom of speech, of religlun,
of suffrage, and any one of these throiiled
the others are sympathetically weak. The
ionte.-l waged to accomplish this high
standard of humanity is a story of piithm,
sorrow and hardships from the Inop.loti.
The courage of iheir convictions i the spirit
( f the story of the titruggles of the refugees
and revolutionists "our lorefathers."
There are in America two great classes
of people which form the bulwark of the
nation. They are not distinct and separa;,
but have a community of Interest, us they
should have, and there is no line of de
marcation absolute und defined. It is, there
fore, but .necessary that when one class
suffers the other will; when one goes up
the other does and when one goes down
tiie other does. While It seems unnatural
that the Innocent should suffer and be
punished for the wrongs and shortcomings
of the guilty the American principle of
uependence and Individuality decrees It so.
A man should not be judged by his acci
dental position In the vocations of life or
his accidental employment by the class
to which he belungsC That man Is the
best public servant and sorves the public
best who seeks to do good for all and each
of us, thereby advancing the cause for
American principle. It is true we have
diversified Interests which may be affected
by legislation, but that is a natural phe
nomenon, for we are not created equal In
physical or mental power, and therefore
some will be rich and some will be poor.
No more distinction should be shown the
unscrupulous rich than the unscrupulous
poor. One U as good as the other and one
Is as bad as the other. I have no more
respect for the man who, because he Is rich,
oppresses and exploits the poor, tiian I
have for the poor man who Incites through
Jealousy and envy a hatred for the rich be
cause he Is rich. There Is no making
fish of one and fowl of another. They are
both carrion to the nation and Its funda
mental principles and both Incapable of
self-government. There Is no more reason
for the government to be In the hands of
an oligarchy than In the throes of a re
vengeful mob. Both are Imperilling to hu
manity and liberty-loving people. The long
head of the Illicit and unscrupulous hoarder
Is no shorter than the long arm of the
pilferer, for both are thieves.
I know that to teach this lesson and
the distinction without regard to wealth Is
a hard task, but It Is the task our fathers
fought for and finally performed, and It Is
the creed upon which rests the success or
failure of this nation.
A feature of the afternoon' program
was the music on the Scotch bagpipes by
Piper O. W. McDougal of Omaha and the
dancing of the Scotch reel by three little
girls In Highland costume, Mattle Brltton,
Gene Brltton and Ruth Blnkley.
Many of the pleasureseeker remained
at the park for the firework In the even
ing, while many who had spent the earlier
part of the day elsewhere went to the
park In the evening to watch the display.
Verd Reed, son of W. Brooks Reed,
former secretary of the Commercial club,
was the only person as far ss waa reported
yesterday to meet with an accident. He
was engaged In swinging some children InH
Falrmount park and failed to get out of
the reach of the swing. The edge of the
seat struck -him over the temple, inflicting
a painful but not serious wound. City
Physician Tubbs was sent for and after
he had administered first aid to the In
jured joung Reed felt sufficiently recov
ered to remain at the park and join with
the other member of the family In par
taking of a picnic supper.
