City Thronged With People Fri» day to Attend the Carnival. Management Sells Between 16, 000 and 17,000 Admission Tickets. Grounds Filled With Visitors from Early Morning Till. Late at Night. Number of Houses Burgled Pockets are Picked—Other Crime. The great and glorious Fourth of 1902 is a thing of the past, the eagle has screamed for the 126th time, and the country is saved for another year. Marshalltown celebrated at the carnl val, aB did also her country cousins and the residents of neighboring towns within the radius of 100 miles in each direction. Not since the mammoth cel ebration of a few years ago has there ever been such a crowd in the city, and as a result the carnival company is "on velvet." The morning trains of Friday began to indicate at an early hour that the city was to be crowded, as the coaches were packed and jammed even to the steps. li'rom the Story City branch there wasn't room in the train to ac commodate the visitors, and they had to content themselves by riding the tops of the cars. No. 12, the fastest of the limited trains on the Northwestern, did something that it has never done before, and perhaps will not again in years—stopped at State Center for 210 people who had bought tickets to Mar^ shalltown and could not be handled on the local train that was following. One hundred more came in on the local. Similar conditions were experienced on the trains of all roads from every di rection, and they were crowded even to the baggage cars. The local train from the east on the Northwestern brought in 700 people, and the thru train had half that number. The Central trains from both north and south were packed £nd standing room was at a premium. Passenger traffic on all the roads was delayed, owing to the extra time it took to load and unload passengers. From the country districts the teams began to pour Into the city early, and kept it up all forenoon, so that by noon there wasn't one of the numerous feed barns In the city that had an inch of ground space to let. Eating houses suffered till of ihe inconveniences of a rush, not withstanding the fact that a great many of the country people brought picnic dinners. The owners of the eat •ing privileges at the carnival grounds were eaten out several times, and at 11:30 last night had not one scrap of food left, not even as much as a sand wich. The weather man was good Friday •for the first time during the week. The day was all that could have been desired, 'in fact an Ideal Fourth. Afresh breeze •was apparent all day, and yet it was warm enough to remind one that July had really arrived, somewhat different from two days ago, when light over coats and wraps were worn. While a number of the country peo »ple and visitors from other towns left the city during the afternoon and early evening hours, enough more came in on the evening trains to counterbalance the crowd. The carnival grounds had the appearance all day and until mid night of one seething mass of humani ty. The office of Secretary La Shelle shows that between 16,000 and 17,000 admission tickets were disposed of during the day. While the crowds were large they were in the main orderly. But very little, comparatively speak ing, in the way of depredations occur red, and there were only a few cases of pickpocketing. The grounds were ad mirably patrolled, and this precaution on the part of the management Is in a great measure responsible for the good behavior. Barring a few arrests for intoxication, there was but very little doing on the part of the police. An other bit of precaution by the manage ment was in the prohibtlon of all fire crackers, dynamite canes or other noise makers from the grounds. Every cane was taken at the gate and returned to its owner when he left. Consequently there was no noise excepting the din of the midway. Up town, however, the scene was entirely different, and old timers In Marshalltown say that never, in their remembrance, have they ex perienced such a noisy Fourth. While 'there were no cannon crackers explod ed during the day, the dynamite canes more than made up for them. The boy or girl who didn't have one was not to be found, and it didn't 9top with the children. Middle-aged men, old men, young men and their pink and white attired sweethearts, .all carried canes. It wasn't because the canes were fash ionable, either, but because they made a noise. |The dynamite caps on the street car track were another big noise producer, and hardly a trip was made by the cars but that the passengers ran a gauntlet of the deafening roar and smoke that might have been taken by a veteran as the din of a battlefield. The Evening's Fire Works. The grounds wore crowded almost to capacity in the evening to witness the pyrotechnic display. An expert from the Chicago house from which the fireworks were purchased was in the city to superintend the work, and ob tained excellent results. The display was really enjoyable, altho to a great many of the spectators it would have been more so had it begun earlier in the evening. It. was 10:15 before the first bomb announced the opening of that portion of the entertainment., and it was 1 i: 30 before the attraction was at an end. This made it inconvenient for people who visited the grounds for the fireworks alone, and who had been sitting or standing several hours await ing the display. The Top Business. The top business done at the carnival will fall to the Beckwith nhow, as the reports last night at the secretary's office indicate that Miss Beckwith is far in the load. The Gay Paris show is second, with "My Girl" and the kinodronie about equal for third. A great many of the smaller shows re port. that they have not been doing much business. CRIMES AND ACCIDENTS. Houses Burgled and Pockets as Result of the Carnival—But Few Acci dents. As was expected by every one, the gang that has been here awaiting the arrival of the big crowds, got in its work on the Fourth, after having made a pretty fair headway on Tmrsday. Several cases of burglary have been reported, and also pickpocketing. The accidents, however, were very few. Janss Home Burglarized. Thieves secured $$f worth of val uables from the home of Dr. :.nd Mrs. H. Janss, 205 East State street, some time between 4 and and 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon. There was no one at home at the time of the robbery, and when Mrs. Janss returned after being down town for an hour, she found the rooms in disorder. Bureau drawers had been pulled out, thoroughly ran sacked, and whatever was desired tak en. The thieves were only looking for valuable articles, however, and out of a ...large amount of silver that was gone over only the solid pieces were stolen. A half dozen solid spoonsk valued at $10, were taken, as were al so a ling, with a turquois setting, sur mounted by ten small diamonds, valued at $40, belonging to Mrs. Janss, and Mr. Janss' gold watch, which cost $35. The thieves effected their entrance thru the cellarway, in the rear of the bouse. A new hat, belonging to Mr. Janss, was also stolen, and in its place one of the thieves left an old black slouch that had seen its best day ami was reeking with kerosene, used evi dently to kill vermin. While not cer tain Alt's. Janss Lhinks the hat is the same one worn by a fairly-well dressed stranger who came to the rear door of her home on Wednesday, and asked for something to eat. The burglary has been reported to the police. Another burglary occurred at the J. A. Lane home Friday night, some time between 8 and 10:30 o'clock, and as a result Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Lander, Jr., who have apartments with the Lanes, are minus about $145 worth of jewelry. The thieves entered the residence thru a rear window, by cutting away the screen. The Lander apartments proved a rich harvest field for the men, and when they left they took with them a gold watch belonging to Mrs. Lander, valued at $50: two gold lockets, worth $25 two small diamond rings, valued at $15 and $20 an opal ring worth in the neighborhod of $10 a gold buckle that cost $5, and another gold belt buckle, worth $3 a pair of diamond cuff buttons valued at $15, and $1.50 in cash. The thieves evidently worked in a hurry, as they missed even more than they secured. Mr. Lander's gold watch and quite a large sum of money were overlooked, and In the Lane apart ments only a small pair of cuff buttons was taken. Mr. Lane had quite a sum of money in the house, and also had a valuable shotgun, and revolver that would have made valuable plunder for the burglars. Arrest Carnival Showman. Frank Hackett, of Iowa Falls, one of the proprietors of an acrobatic show on the carnival midway, run .under the name of La Von Brothers, was arrested Thursday afternoon by Sheriff A. W. Mltterer, of Hardin county, upon an information filed by the Chicago, Iowa & Dakota railway, charging him with malicious mischief and the use of ob scene language. With Hackett the Hardin county sheriff also arrested John Grennan, aged 19, son of H. Gren nan, of Iowa Falls. The railway com pany alleges that Hackett, Grennan and Jay Stewart, of Alden, while passengers on the Woodman excursion from El dora to Alden on the 26th inst.. acted In a desorderly manner and broke sev eral of the windows in one of the coaches. Stewart's arrest was mado at Alden by the sheriff's officers Thurs day afternoon. Sheriff Mltterer took Hackett and Grennan to Eldora Thurs day evening for their appearance be fore Justice Whited. Each of the men pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined $20 and costs. A portion of the fines was remitted and the defendants were discharged. Slugged and Robbed. William L. Paul, a stone mason re siding at 329^4 South Third avenuo, was set upon and robbed of $S at a late hour Thursday night. He was folowed from town by two men and when on Linn street, between Fifth and Sixth ave nues, was struck from behind by one of the men with a billy or some other in strument. The blow rendered him un conscious, and in this state his pockets were rifled. As soon as he regained consciousness the matter was reported to the police, but by that time the high waymen had made good their escape. Thieves broke into a Chicago & Northwestern merchandise car stand ing on the team track in the yards Fri day night and made off with several boxes of crackers consigned to firms in this city. No clue to the pillagers is known. Carnival Employe Assaulted. Dave McBride, of Davenport, who Is employed at one of the gambling tents on the carnival grounds, was arrested late Friday night by Special Officer Mc Clure upon a charge of assault, pre ferred by M. Still, an employe of the carnival company, who was assisting In the fireworks display. Still waS struck over the head with a board having in one end a nail, and sustained quite a bad scalp wound. This morning Still informed Mayor Jones that he had made a mistake in accusing McBride of the assault, and said he could not iden tify his assailant. McBride was dis charged, but Mayor Jones can't be in duced to believe but what there was "boodle" used in effecting a settlement. Loses Watch Worth $75. Ii. Wobeter. of Tama, hail his pockets picked on the carnival grounds Friday night and is now without a valuable gold watch. Mr. Wobeter says his timepiece was worth $75. Another Touched for $30. A young man named Reynolds, while visiting the carnival Thursday evening, was robbed of $30, taken from his trousers pocket. lie did not know of their robbery until after it had occur red. Chain Breaks Retains His Watch. Engineer John .Skinner, of the Cen tral. had an experience with a pick pocket near the carnival gate. He was in a crowd and felt a slight tug on his vest pocket. He immediately placed his hand over his watch, just in time to feel the chain break and to protect his timepiece. Cane Explodes Breaks Window. While the dynamite cane may not be quite as dangerous a plaything aq the cannon cracker, at times it can be equally so, as .was evidenced by an A Exrcmttq Times-^iqwMrrcw, TOarshctllttfiiw incident on the Center street corner Thursday. A small boy was having a good time exploding the dynamite caps in front of the Abbott store when, immediately following the noise the plate glass window in the city National 1'aiik building across the street wa,| broken. -An investigation proved that the iron portion of the cane. that, ex plodes the cap, had itself exploded by the concussion and, Hying across the street, had broken the »iuarter-inch plate glass. A small portion of the cane narrowly missed striking a man who was standing near by when the explosion occurred. Another explosion of a cane Filday broke a Window in the American Ex press Company's building. I'ae helcupIaolPa owns.v.e ?w-f- ml Noise Causes Runaway. The team belonging to 10. (!. Gray, which had been allowed to stand with out being tied in front of All". Gray's place of business Friday morning, be came frightened at the noise of ex ploding torpedoes that had been placed on the street car track, and indulged in a short run east on main street. When the horses reached second aven ue, they turned south, striking Louis Hitter, who was riding a wheel and throwing him to the pavement. They then whirled and dashed up the curb ing. and on the sidewalk, where they stopped. Mr. Ritiei: was uninjured as a result, of his fall. Neither the team or wagon was injured or damaged to any extent. STATE CENTER WINS. by a Defeats Whitten at Base Ball Score of Two to One. One of the best games of base ball played in central Iowa this season was that at Union Friday, when the State Center nine defeated Whitten by a score of 2 to 1. State Center scored in the first inning, and then not again un til the seventh. Whitten came nearly being shut out, but managed to get run in the last Inning. Doc and Marsh composed the battery for State Center and the Callaway brothers for Whitten.

Tonight at 9 o'clock on the carnival grounds the younp man who has rested thru the week under six feet, of earth will be disinterred and brought back to life by Dr. Jason the hypnotist and a3ept. There has been no fake In this attraction as the thousands who have viewed the pale countenance thru the air tube can testify. He has actually lain in the grave since the crowd saw him hypnotized and buried Monday evening. Tonight a limited number of tickets will be sold at the nominal sum of 25 cents admitting of the unique spectacle of his resurrection. The number admitted will be necessarily limited on account of the limited space and those who wish to see this curious and almost unknown feat will do well to secure tickets early this afternoon or evening. No one should miss it as the opportunity is not likely to occur again. CARNIVAL COMPANY. The Business Man's Train—Chicago to New York.

Catarrh Great Western Trains Run After Fcrty«eight Hours Tie-up. First Passenger Thru Friday Night—Will Now Make Schedule Time. B., C. R. N. Iowa Falls Divi« sion, Trains Detour Via This City. The first train on the Chicago Great Western's line thru Iowa in l'orty-eight hours left. Marshalltown at 10:40 Fri day night. The train was the Chicago it .St. Paul limited. No. 2, and bore thru the city a large number of people who had been delayed greatly In reaching their destinations north and east. When the washouts caused by Wednes day night's rain delayed trains at this point, and caused them to be held here nearly all o!' Thursday, others on the south were annulled, and held at the leaving points, Kansas City and Des Moines. It was found impossible to get the track in shape in the flooded dis trict near Keinbeck, and It was consid ered the best course to cease running them altogether until the trouble was overcome, It is expected now that trains will be able to make schedule time. Two or three delayed trains from the north passed thru the city Friday night. The. Great Western trains that wore held at this point Thursday awaiting a chance to detour, via the Northwestern and Cedar Kapids and B., C. R. & N. for Waterloo, were further delayed after leaving here. In the Tama yards the water was running over the tracks to such an extent that it was consid ered dangerous to allow trains to pass, and the Great Western passengers were again held until the water could be drained off the right-of-way and the track bolstered up. Owing to the washouts on the B., C. R. & N. the Iowa Falls branch north bound trains were run from Cedar Rap Ids to Estherville, via this city. De touring began Thursday afternoon and three trains were sent west, the first arriving in the afternoon, the second at 0:30 and the third about midnight. From here the trains were transferred to the Central, and sent north to Abbott Crossing, where the company's line was used to Estherville. Traveling Engineer J. D. Benjamin, of the Northwestern, piloted one of the train® from Cedar Rapids to this city, and out of here the Central furnished pilots. The B., C. Ft. .V- N. suffered heavily from the rains, 1,800 feet of track being washed away on the Doeorah line be tween Todville and Independence. Be tween Vinton and Waterloo other bad washouts occurred. MRS. NATION ARRIVES. Will Lecture as Scheduled—Washouts' Delay Her. The carnival company assure its patrons that Mrs. Nation will be on the grounds today.

", 1| LOCAL COMMENT. 9 9 W ipi There were fewer Fourth of July ac cidents to record this year than any previous year In the history of this newspaper. The patent c.lne with the dynamite cap is doubtless an improvement in safety over the giant cracker, and de serves credit for minimizing the Fourth of July list of casualities, but to the woman with a small baby that needs sleep, to the occupant of a sick room, or to the man with a nervous horse they seem nothing short of a diabolical in ventlou. The attention of street commission- I er, mayor or streets and alleys com mittee is called to the fact that a build ing once in process of removal has been allowed to obstruct Center street be tween Church and ldnn, now for sev oral months. Some one in authority should notify some one responsible that the public lias rights which are not to be hung up all summer. Within a few hours after this issue is delivered troni tin* presses Marshall town will have experienced its second carnival, and public comment, as usual will vary. It is of un|uestioned benefit to the business interests of a town to furnish amusement that will attract people in crowds and make the town the center ol life in its commercial field. That a private company should.} undertake this task for gain detracts not at all from this public benefit, but the point, that the T.-U. has contended for In the carnival matter Is that the show should be so regulated that moral decency in the community should not be outraged. Last year's carnival was an excellent show In many ways. The public got mo:-o than its money's worth of amusement.most of which was iiarm lesa, the business of the town was ben- Saturdng, fulg 3, 1302 lited. and (lie carnival voted a good tiling. There were sonic features of a low moral tone, such as the so-called French theaters, which at best were disgusting, and upon every opportunity actually vile. The T.-U. took occasion to condemn these shows and express the hope that I hey would not be al lowed on the grounds another year, 'i'h.e carnival management likewise disapproved of them and freely stated that, profiting by experience, it would be better able to regulate them another ear. With this assurance and repeated promises that the second carnival would be an improvement over tin1 first lie T.-R. sold Its advertising space at a very low figure, and in other ways assisted the enterprise because of lis public interest. To say that the public has been disappidnted but mildly ex presses the feeling In this newspaper office. It Is true that untold troubles the carnival management. Ex cellent attractions secured on written contracts and advertised extensively cancelled their engagements by wire only a few hours before the gates opened, and all of those who did come, becoming panic-stricken because of the unpromising weather, were almost un manageable. Nevertheless the carnival management bad assumed responsibil ity for regulating these shows. The T. lt. had sold its space to advertise that the carnival company would make this show clean thruout, "something that, would not offend women and children," and the company failed. Overlooking much criticism that the carnival as a whole was disappointing, for the T.-R. believes that the free show and fire works were more than worth a 25 cent admission, the carnival company Is open to Just censure for the vile shows that were allowed concessions on the grounds under private canvass. They were offensive even to those who want ed to keep out. They were Infinitely worse than anything that appeared last year and will serve to keep away from future carnivals the vast majority of decent people, to say nothing of the harm done to young men and boys who patronized them. The T.-R. assisted the carnival this year In every way it could, for this responslbllty it. pleads guilty, but the T.-K. has had enough. The show was advertised as "inoffen sive to women and children." Citizens everywhere who saw it said that It was no place lor a lady to attend because of the offensive and suggestive bally-hos used to advertise the midway siiows. Perhaps the carnival management did all in its power to control these fellows, we don't know. It failed and the carni val was not what It ought to be. After all that had been said by mem bers of the city council regarding the elimination of politics from the selec tion of lire chief and members of the new paid department, appearances in some quarters were very much against the good resolutions that were an nounced. It had been claimed that the recommendations of George C. Hutch ings. the expert who had charge of In stalling the plant, would be followed to the letter, but when the matter came before the council for final action Wednesday evening opposition was at once sprung to the selection of Louis Schneider as chief. Councilman Har ry, of the First ward, fathering the op position, on the grounds that the coun cil was acting hastily in confirming the recommendation. Mr. Kreutzer acted as his light guard and Intimated that there were many men In the city who were as good as Mr. Schneider. Grant ing that fact, however. It was the opin ion of the majority of the council, after hearing the recommendation of an un prejudiced outsider, that this recom mendation should be followed, which was done. Whether the candidacy of Mr. Henry's brother for the place in fluenced Ills action or not. In justice to Mr. Henry It should be known that his own reason for opposition to Schneider as given was that the water works Open tonight till 10:30. committee, of which he, Henry, is a member, but recently relieved Mr. Schneider as city electrician, and in reappointing him again to a municipal office he feared that It would cast a re flection niMUi the committee. An Instance of the extent to which well-meaning but sadly inexperienced women can make themselves ridiculous was given light when Miss Ella Powell complained to the officers of the Hu mane Society about "cruel treatment" given the T.-R. horse by the boy who drives the mail wagon. Our old Prince Is the pet of this establishment. All day long he stands knee deep in a soft bed of straw in a large box stall, while his snolv white coat fairly glistens with the rubbing and care and good feed he receives. His only work Is to report for duty at o'clock to make three trips from the T.-R. office to the trains with three loads of mail. Tho distance to the station is about half a mile*, and old Prince knows his duties well. The min ute the boy says go he Is off on a run for the trains, with little urging. In fact, he knows the necessity of making time as well as the boy. Sharp shod, he Is sure on his feet and selects the back streets from force of ha hit. He fairly enjoys his run. At the station he will wait untied for the mail sacks to be un loaded. return on a slow trot for the next load." His "cruel" treatment con sists of these three short runs, with In tervals of half an hour between each, and the T.-R. mangers have yet to see the time when their faithful horse has even panted for breath. If the good la dles of the Humane Society would come around wo would loan the horse, for he really needs more exercise. But think of the cruelty our fire department is guilty of when they allow their noble beasts to run several miles at a time twice a day and compel them to haul a wagon weighing three tons! Our old Prince is fully as well trained. Is just as well kept and has even a.i easier time than tho intelligent animals so greatly admired in our new fire de partment. In fact, the Humane Society had better busy itself with the case of the boy who dares to abuse our pet, but the trouble all arises from the fact that some good women, who mean well enough, don't understand the difference between a good horse and a Mack cat.
