the $100,000 mark, according to Secretary
Mellor last night. Of this sum $17,811.25
was taken In at the grandstand and
bleachers. Owing to the $32,000 worth of
Improvements put on the grounds this
year, th surplus over and above ex
penses and Improvements will not be as
large as ltt was a year ago. Secretary
Mellor Is very anxious to continue the
work of enlarging the big machinery hall
and hopes to: add to it each y?ar until
the original plans are completed, which
will give the fair a building 710 feet long
and 400 feet wide. ,
The board hopes t6 be able to convince
the next legislature, that a new horticul
tural and agricultural hall combined un
der one roof should be the next balding
to be erected through an appropriation
from the legislature. Both of the present
buildings are old and entirely too small
to meet the needs of the state and cat-h
year demonstrates th fact tliat- some
thing will have to be done to aecommo
tv.'.i the exhibitors who bring In the stuff
it -fed jn Nebraska farms.
Police Interrupt Race.
. There was one race started at the fair
one day which was not on the program.
A man by the name of D. Etc he conceived
the Idea that arace between an automl
bile and the aeroplane would be an in
teresting feature. However, the state fair
officials did not think it best to arrange
for a race on the track that might result
In an accident, so they denied the request
of the man. However, nothing daunted,
he went to the aviator and arranged for
a private race around the track. When
the proper time came away they went,
but the hard hearted policemen who had
been tipped off to stop anything of the
kind, rushed onto the track and arrested
Eiche and the race was over.
' Accident Fair Week.
', Several uculdeiiU took place during fair
j week. Friday night two men, two women
I and four bottles of beer were out for a
j Joy. ride. Another man in another auto
i mobile met them in the road. Result, one
! woman badly Injured, two automobiles
wrecked and the driver of one automobile
I missing. Another man, on account of an
"escapade with another man's wife, com
jmltted suicide. Still another man brought
his neighbor's wife to the fair and when
j the woman was taken to a hospital as a
! result of too much jcetebratlon, he hiked
16 the tall timber for fear of results.
The snake charmer on the midway was
nearly killed by the boa constrictor, whtcn
objected to the strenuous work of the
hot day and attempted to crush her in
h's deadly folds, and but for the quick
work of an attendant,' who cut i0 ?iroat
of the serpent, the' woman would have
been crushed to death.

Bar Association
Honors Col. Lindt
Just after Judge Woodruff adjourned
court for the day yesterday a meeting
of the Pottawattamie County Bar asso
ciation was held for the purpose of tak
ing the customary action In relation to
the death of Colonel John Llndt, a mem
ber. Judge Walter I. Smith, Emmett
Tlnley and George S. Wright, commit
tee on resolutions, presented a statement
in recognition of the character of Mr.
Llndt that met the approval of the mem
bers. The resolutions recited that ne naa
been a member of the bar for forty years
and that a sterling quality of his charac
ter was one that distinguished him
through life. He always kept his agree
ment with the bar.
There had been no formal meeting of
the bar association since the death of
T. C. Dawson, a former member who
rose to distinction In the diplomatic serv
ice of the United States, and resolutions
expressing appreciation of his high char
acter were also presented and adopted.
An article In a recent number of thi
Munsey Magazine, giving an appreciative
sketch of the life and character of Mr.
Dawson, was endorsed and made a part
of the resolution. It was directed that
both resolutions be made a part of the
court records and that copies be sent to
the families of the deceased. . The meet
ing Fas called by W. A. Mynster, presi
dent of the association and for many
years law partner of Colonel Lindt.
JURY HOLDS COMPANY
RESPONSIBLE FOR DEATH
After an Inquest that lasted all day and
required the examination of fourteen wit
nesses, one of whom was on the stand for
inore than an hour, the coroner s Jury
yesterday found that Albert Lewis, who
was killed Friday noon at the street
railway blrdge, came to his death from
the effects of an electric shock from
contact with a wire carrying a high
tension current, "and that the accident
was made possible by the carelessness
of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street
RaHway company ad its employes.
The Jury" was composed of Robert . B
Wallace, W. M. Hendrlx and C. S. Hub
bard, both of the latter former aldermen
The carelessness Is alleged to have been
the failure to fully acquaint all of the
men engaged In painting the bridge that
the current had been turned on through
the wire which caused the death of Lewis
after it had been shut off for several
days. This was the auxiliary wire that car
ried the Manawa current with a voltage of
over 13,000. Following the close of tht
Manawa season- It had been "dead" ex
cept when conditions required extra cur
rent. ' ''''.
The foreman, John Cronin, who was
quest'oned for more than an hour testi
fied that Instructions were- given all of
the men to treat all of the wires on the
top of the bridge as ''hot" at all times,
although some of them were not always
charged, but m'ght be at any moment.
Arthur Levi, a painter who was working
with Lewis, testified that thirty minutes
before the accident he made a test to
find out If the wire was "hot" and drew
out a vicious flash, but that he did not
tell Lewis, who was then working' a
little below h'm. He said he had been
w6rking for several weeks and when he
first went to work It was Lewis who
cautioned him about the "hot" wires on
the top of the bridge. '
The evidence given by William Harris,
the paint mixer, was that chiefly responsi
ble for the port'on of the verdict holding
the company guilty of negligence. He
said the men had been talking about th6
wire In question being dead and he had
understood it to be and that he went to
the toll house telephone to find out. Ht
was told that current was on and hurried
to tell the men. When He reached tht
other end of the span Lewis was dead.
Just how many of the Omaha men
alio have never known the glory of
King Ak-Sar-Ben's court are to be Ini
tiated into the order this evening, on the
closing night of the performance at the
Den, will not be known until noon to
day, when the var'ous committees mak
ing the last effort of the year to secure
new members will report at a luncheon
at the Paxton hotel.
When members of the Grain exchnngt
received their card notifying them that
they were to get busy among their mem
bers to secure members for. the Ak-Sar-Ren,
one of the leading men said: "Why,
we are all members. I don't know where
we could find a grain man that Is not
already a member of the Ak-Sar-Ben."
However, he promised to look diligently
about him and if he should by hook ot
crook discover that' here was one of
his friends who was not a member he
would certainly haul him bodily to the
Pen Monday night.
The Real Estate exchange has made
a like plea, namely, that all of Its mem
bers already belong to the Ak-Sar-Ben
but Samson Is always a suspicious cuss,
and he has dropped them a card saying:
"Get busy, and secure a few more mem
bers and rrmke your report at the meet
ing next Monday noon at the Paxton
hotel."
The Commercial club received a similar
card, and If there are any Commercial
club members who are not members ot
Samson's fold, they have either, been

ing. Those of the cud-chewing variety
have been kept close, with little eser
cise. In order that they might be es
pecially frisky this evening, while those
of the flesh-eating variety have been
starved and goaded until even now they
hurl themselves bodily against the creak

TESTS RIGHT TO USE PARK
Thomas Q. Harrison Files Suit Grow
ing Out of Carnival.
AGREEMENT WITH CITY CLUB
Sand Hill Corn is
Up to the Average
"A month ago we were" looking for a
bumper corn crop In Custer county," said
R. S. Harrington, a farmer living near
Broken Bow and stopping at the Mer
chants, "but we are not going to get it.
However, the crop on the whole will be
fully up to the average. ,
"There are spots and limited areas In
Custer county where corn will not go
twenty bushels to the acre, the shortage
being duo to the too hot Weather of the
last two weeks. This weather has topped
the growth and dried up tne kernels and
ripened the ears too rapidly.' This has
been the case on some of the land that Is
sandy. On the bottoms and where the
soil Is a black loam, the corn Is good
and much of It will yield around thirty
bushels, which is as good, if not better
than the average. Most of the corn is out
of the way of frost right now."
Allegation Closing of Public Streets
In Violation of Public Grant Made
hy Donor of Ballss Park
Years Ago,
Tlie district court has been asked to
issue permanent and perpetual injunc
tions against the present members of the
park board and their successors, the
mayor and city council and those who
will follow them, the members and ex
ecutive officers of the Commercial club
and all allied organisations, restraining
them from ev?r again granting permis
sion -to use Bayllss park for carnivals or
any other purpose t;ia will require its
lnclosure and exclusion of the public
from Its free use. The court Is asked
to perpetually enjoin the city council
and city executives ' from ever again
granting permission to close the streets
surrounding the park for carnival or
other similar purposes. The petition was
filed late Saturday afternoon by Thomas
Q. Harrison as attorney for Frank G.
Grovler, 1506 Ninth avenue, an employe
of tha Plntch Gas company. '
The suit was filed In compliance with
a stipulation signed by the Commercial
club and Attorney Harrison more than
three weeks ago by which the suit then
contemplated for the purpose of prevent
ing the use ot the park for the late car
nival was deferred until after its close
when the Commercial club agreed to
meet the Issues presented In ' the suit
and fight the battle In the courts and
get final decision before the time ar
rived for the holding of another carni
val. If the suit had been brought and
a temporary Injunction granted after the
Commercial club had assumed financial
obligation approximating several thou
sand dollars, a bond of nore than $5,000
would have been required from the plain-
Council Bluffs
tiff. This bond was forthcoming and the
filing fee of about $90 was provided and
arrangements had been made to ask the
supreme court of the state to issue the
temporary restraining writ when the dan
ger of wrecking the carnival was averted
by the stipulation for the present suit.
The petition alleges that the suit Is
brought by a taxpayer In behalf of the
taxpayers of the city, and the allegation
is that the Commercial club has organlied
a carnival committee comprising Secre
tary Towne, President Dool'ittle and
Members Mauer, Metralf, Qulnn, Myrtue,
Stone and Sargent and that a permanent
organisation has been effected for ttie
purpose of conducting carnivals In the
park and adjacent streets each year, and
that they will not do so unless restrain.
The fact that the general public will be
excluded contrary to' law and the Injury
to the park are fully set forth. It Is
also contended that the use of the park
for such purposes Is In violation of the
grant of Samuel . Uayllss In 185:, whose
deed of gift dedicated the park to the
free public use and for the pleasure and
enjoyment of the citizens for all time,
and that Its lnclosure at any time and
the exaction of a fee from the clt liens
for permission to go upon their own
property "Is contrary to equity and good
conscience" In addition to being a viola
tion of the conditions of the gift deed.
The allegation Is made that the clus'vg
ot the public streets surrounding the
park Is illegal and In violation of the
rights of the citlsens. The petition de
scribes the character of the carnival at
tractions as "cheap shows and vaudeville
entertainments, public dance halls" and
other undesirable things.
The serious Injury to the park la set
out In several of the paragraphs and tt
it claimed that the damage Is permanent.
It Is alleged that .last spring the board
spent over $1,600 of the taxpayers' money
beautifying the park, and that all of this
has not only been destroyed but that It
will cost more than $t00 to repair the
damage with the kindliest assistance of
amiable nature. It Is further alleged
that tt has cost from $200 to $400 each
year to restore the park after each carnival.
Council Bluffs
The work of cleaning up the park was
only a little more than half completed
yesterday. Two big wagontfails of mould
erlng confetti was raked and swept up
from the south triangle and It was foun.l
to be Impossible to get off much more
than three-fourths of it. Brooms are
being used but after the most patient
sweeping and raking the surface of the
ground remains still covered. Park Com
missioner Graham said yesterday that tlio
chief damage to the park had resulted
from the use of confetti and that it
would be months before the damage from
It could be removed.
Accountant Cox
Completes Work
On City's Books
M. F Cox, state municipal accountant,
completed his work of examining the
books and accounts In the various city
offices and left at noon yesterday for
his home at Des Moines, lfe will begin
on Monday the work of examining the
books at Cedar Rapids. Mr. Cox will not
file his report for several days, owing
to the fact that the totals of about 25,000
waterworks receipts for payments made
by consume! s remain to be worked out on
the ejectrlo adding machine in the office
of the water department. Roy Albers,
his assistant, will remain here for sev
eral days to finish this work.
Mr. Cox said before leaving that the
people of Council Bluffs might expect
a report that would be very gratifying
to them, confirming the wisdom of their
choice of public servants, for the report
would show a condition that was about
os near to the perfection mark as could
be attained and which would place Coun
cil Bluffs at the top of Iowa cities. He
declared that only a few minor errors
were discovered In some of the depart
ments, all of such minor character as
not to entitle them to a notice In the
report. Several of the offices, city treas
urer, city auditor and city clerk, were
found to be without a single error or a
penny of discrepancy. The accounts In

had been greatly facilitated by the ac
