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

ribbons today and thta evening ribbon

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. City Sollclfor Stuart warned
the council at the meeting on Monday
night the cost would be considerable,
uearly $100 for the proceedings, and that
the removal of one barn would entail a
cost of S300. 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.

Yesterday, sweltering In the renewed
