TIIE BEE: OMAHA, THl RSPAY AUGUST 1PK). 5-A' Council Bluffs HAPPY CROWDAT CARNIYAL Gates Taxed After Blazing Run of Firemen. SERPENTINE PARADE TONIGHT 3ot1 Feature Will Mnke Street Mae of Trrlatlntr Strnnds ot Col ored Pnper Thonnndi See SlRhta. Happy Youngsters Who Had Their Annual Joy Ride Council Bluffs carnival enthusiasts rested during the heat of the day yester day, but took full possession ot the car nival center as soon as the cool of the evenln gcame. It was tlie best dressed, best behaved carnival crowd that has yet helped to make the annual autumnal event of tho countrywide fame. It was a happy even-tempered, Jay-seeklm; crowd that realised the best Ideals of carnival merriment. Every member of the Commercial club, all of the Knights of the Full Moon and the carnival com mittee have ebon Invested with police powers and directed to suppress any manifestation of ''roughness," and lead the "roughnecks" out of tho grounds. But their services were not required, for there were no "rough neckK." Carnival crowds began to gather on the strets before 7 o'clock to see the spectacular red fire run of the fire de partment, scheduled for 7:30, and by the time the fire department vehicles had gathered at thes tartlng point on Eighth avenue there was no longer standing room on South Main street. Pearl street and all of the cross streets became jammed with expectant humanity by tho time the firemen were ready to start and when tho run was made It was through an ocean ot faces. BrlKht Feature. It was a brilliant spectacle viewed Jrom the Illuminated flying vehicles or from the surface of the ocean of human ity. Commissioner Klgan of the fire and police board, who assumed charge of tho affair, decided It was not wise to take all of the fire apparatus from the houses and but five vehicles formed the'parade, Each was sheathed In red fire with batteries of Roman candle flaming up as the horses dashed up tho street at full Hpeed. Tho b!g automobile truck, with fountains, of colored flro apparently blaz ing from every Inch of the upperworks, led tho parade, wth the speedometer In dicating a velocity of thirty-five miles an hour. The firemen entered Into the eplrit of the thing, and profiting by their experiences at the carnival last season, were able to present a spectacle much more brilliant and novel. They will be furnished with unlimited quantities of suitable pyrotochnlcs for the next run on Friday evening and expect to make It still more attractive, and a permanent and original feature of the annual carl Vals. Extra Ticket Seller. When the fire run was over the multi tude began to pour through the gates. Kight ticket sellers wero unable to sup ply tho demand and extra men were placed outside selling six-tickets admis sions for CO cents. ThlB helped some, but tho throng became so great that the registering turn-stlies began to cause a blockade and side doors were thrown open. Then, the stream of humanity flowed uncheckod. The crowd during the evening was swelled by the multitudes brought In by the evening trains and automobiles. Side streets were packed with autos and car riages of farmers. The Treynor inter urban rvad put on a special evening train yesterday for tho accommodation of the carnival visitors. It left Treynor after 1 o'clock and returned at It Serpentine Parade. Carnival Jollity will assume a new phase tonight. It will have an original aiardl Gras feature a serpentine auto mobile parade, that will arouse as much Interest as the flower parade. It la a feature that has been tried only at New Orleans and Coney Island. Every owner ot an automobllo la Invited to participate In it More than 20.000 roUs of gaily colored paper ribbons have been provided, each roll sixty feet long. Th loose end of the ribbon Is held In tho hand and the compact little roll Is thrown, unwinding us It files through the air. The sport lies in the automobile parties peltlns each ether with the ilbbons and hurling them atthe people on the strcetd until the air Is' full of the sinuous bands of color, fcjklll In throwing Is quickly acquired, and the oport is as enticing as it harmless and pretty. George Gerner and B. A. Price will have charge of the parade. Tho ribbon battlo will rage from 7 until S p'clock, and all automobllo ownors who contemplate participating In It must have their cars at the Bayllss park corner fif teen minutes before 7 o'clock to ie.elv Instructions concerning the parade route and the evolutions. The members of the Toung Women's Christian association will sell tho paper ribbons today and thta evening ribbon boys will be stattoned all alone Broad way, which will be the principal scene of the battle, ready to furnish more emunltlon.

Jury is Named to Condemn Property Sheriff LIndsey yesterday appointed tho Jury to condemn the property necessary to establish an alley on South Seventeenth street between Sixth and Seventh avenues, which has been provided for'by action of the city council. He appointed J. P. Mulqueen, L. T. Albert!, William Arnd, A. M. Hutchinson, Frank II. Blndci and W. S. Cooper. It whs pointed out yesterday ,lhat the action of tho council directing the use of public funds to pay for the opening of an alley that can be of use only to the private citizens residing In the block af fected 1b extraordinary and without precedent.

It was said yesterday that there was not another instance in tho city where, public money had been used to pay for an alley. The argument was made In the council that the use of publio money In opening the streets up town, alluding to First avenue and Vine street, jummoa tne expenditure for alleys in other parts of the city, but It was pointed out yesterday that streets are for general publio use and alleys only for the ac commodation of abutting property owners.
