BANNER CROWD AT CARNIVAL usand Visit the Afternoon and Evening. It the weather clerk will call at the ad- ministration booth at the street fair and carnival grounds the management will grant him any favor he may ask In return for the beautiful weather he provided for the great show yesterday. With weather that could not be excelled and the Bagles as a stellar attraction, the attendance at the carnival yesterday reached the 13,00 mark and as no account is kept of the ad- missions by coupon or season tickets, it may have been' closer to 15,00. In any case it was the biggest crowd by all odds of the ‘week so far and the grounds were simply packed with a jolly, fun seeking crowd. cemetary: th Omaha eon Fully Thirteen T Despite the immense throng, there was no | R. disorder and every one seemed bent on having a good time, and it is believed they all found it. The Eagles, headed by a band, came hundreds strong from Omaha and were Jolned by the local members. They marched through the grounds to the strains of “A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight": and were loudly cheered. The attendance during the afternoon was also & record breaker, a feature of the at- tendance being the large number of children on the grounds. Tonight the Maccabees and other fra- ternal organizations will visit the street fair in a body and help to make the welkin ring and the wheels go round. The efliclent | policing of the grounds prevents any at- tempt at rowdylsm. Hortlcultural Soclety Meeting.

An effort is being made to have the new Iowa law requiring fire escapes on all bulld- ings three stories high declared invalid because of alleged irregularities in its pass- age. The law is attacked as a part of the defense in suits for damages aggregating $300,00 on account of the deaths in the Clifton house fire in Cedar Rapids last winter. Senator Dowell of this city, the author of the law, declares that the law cannot be successfully attacked on the ground that it was not passed and that the record 18 clear as to the manner in which the law was passed. At the same time it is his plan and that of the state labor com- missioner, in whose hands the enforcement of the law lles, to secure important amend- ments to the law.

The bill was passed unanimously by the legislature. Strike of the Barbers. Sixty barbers went out on a strike in Des Moines today in certain union shops that had not lived up to the scale of wages as desired.

Not all the shops in the city were affected, as a number have been operating under the scale. It is expected the matter will be settled tomorrow. Help to Get Lipton Present.
