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

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

cane narrowly missed striking a man
who was standing near by when the
explosion occurred.

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.

RAISED FROM THE DEAD.
Buried Subject at Carnival to Be Res
urrected Tonight.
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.

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

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

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

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.
