FAIR RECEIPTS INCREASE.
Tuesday Much Bigger Day Than
Tuesday Last Year.

Des Moines, Aug. 29.-State fair re-
ceipts continue to increase. Tuesday
was children's day and the crowd was
variously estimated at from 10000 to
10000. 1t is known that s9.526 were
taken in, which is $1,7s7.4O more than
was taken in in 1899. The sum of
$7,S39.6O was taken in that year on
Tuesday. The, day was perfect. The
management was pleased With the con-
iditlQn of affairs. With today another
perfect day the success OF this exposi-s
ton Is assured.
An unfortunate misunderstanding
arose Tuesday relative to the admission
OF children. 1t vas known as children s
and soldiers DAY and the impre ssion.
prevailed among thousands OF people
that children under 10 would be admit
ted free. This WAS an error. The man
agement had fixed the free age at s
years and from 8 to 10 half rate. This
was source of much friction at the
gates, the children underst landing that
they We're to be admitted as formerly
Some Of them We're compelled, to forego
the pleasure and benefit of the fair be-.
cause they had not the money with
them to purchase the half rate tickets
required. Undoubtedly it operated to
the loss OF the fair. for as a rule the
children are accompanied by adults
and these We're compelled TO return
with their children to their homes.
The soldiers had already gotten their
tickets and they thronged the grounds.
Several reunions were held. The brass
button and blue coat dotted. the hills
everywhere Soldiers' day at the fair
II is always a great thing. 1t will never
be abandoned by patriotic Iowa 1t is
estimated that 5000 soldiers were in at
tendance Tuesday.
Today Is republican day Judge c.. c..
i Nourse spoke at 10 o'clock before the
amphitheater. Tonight pictures will be
shown. Wednesday is usually the big
gest day Of the fair. Today was not an
exception. Most all OF Des Moines
turned out. The fair people made a
special effort to entertain the visitors.
4 The business houses did not close today
as rule, but many went out. neverthe-
less. The big stores will be open tonight
until o'clock to accommodate the peo-j
pie who get no time to shop before the
close Of the fair in the afternoon and

The T.-R. and the Hobo Conven.

Britt, Aug. 29.-Quite a number of our
citizens are in attendance at the state
fair. The exhibit from Hancock county,
which is under the direction of Mr.. r. b.
Rogers, is SO far the gest of any county,
and will no doubt take the premium.
Hancock county has come to the front
during the past few years and the farm
3ers take great pride in helping out the
state fair exhibit from Hancock county.
Much interest is being manifested by
our citizens in the nomination for repre-
sentative to succeed Hon. J:sP. sDolliver,
whose appointment to the United States
senate gives, universe satisfaction. This
county has several who could fill the
place, tho none Of them have announced
themselves as candidates 1t is under-
stood, however, that the republicans of
Hancock county Will settle. on one of
it's citizens as a candidate for this hon
or.
The attitude of the T.-R. in regard to
the recent hobo convention at this place
is universally commended. The reports
to almost all the dailies were fabrica-
tons made out of whole cloth, in the
office of the Allison house, and for first
class prevaricators commend Sus to the
reporters of the city dalies. In some of
the reports there was not word of
truth In the whole report. The report in
the T.-R. was about the only truthful
and conservative one made.

Storm Incidents.

Wednesday nights snowstorm was the
contend with for several winters. 1t was
not the depth Of the snow that bothered the
company, but the persistent manner in which
1t drifted over the tracks. The sweepers
which on former occasions have always
been able to clear a path for the motors
were useless in face of the strong wind
that blew and hurled the snow back on
the tracks again. About midnight the
sweepers themselves were unable to make
Roadway and became stalled. This set
tied the matter and a short time later all
attempts to run cars was abandoned. The
motors were unable to make the car house
and had to be left standing on the tracks
all night at whatever point they had be-
come stalled.
At daybreak another attempt was made
to clear the line between here and Omaha
and cars managed to get as far as Twenty
second street, but again became stalled. 1t
was about noon before the first train reached
Omaha.
A number of people who went to Omaha
Wednesday evening had to stay all night
across the river and many of them did not
reach their homes in this city until dinner
time yesterday. The local service was also
tied up and those whose duties carried
them to town were compelled to plough
their way through the snowdrifts. Some
who work across the river made the trip
to Omaha on foot, but the number who had
the fortitude to do this was small. Shortly
after noon the cars were running pretty reg
ularly all over the city, but no attempt
was made at schedule time.

There is every prospect that the officers
Of the motor company and the city au-

ment over the bridge at Filth avenue over
Indian creek. The present structure is
daily becoming more unsafe and the ne
cessity OF a new bridge more apparent.
Alderman Brough, chairman of the COM
mittee on bridges and public property, has
so far been unable to secure a conference
with General Manager Dimmock OF the mo-
tor company, consequently the matter has
been at a standstill. The attorneys for the
motor company. however, have notified the
city authorities that If the city engineer
will prepare a plan Of the proposed new
bridge, showing the extra cost by having
the structure so made as TO be of sufficient
strength to sustain a loaded motor car, they
would submit the same to the directors Of
their company. 1t is estimated the new
bridge will cost about $4,000 and the city
authorities feel that the motor company
should pay half of the expense.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Feb. S.-tSpecial. "A
sensation was sprung in the law department
of the University of Iowa yesterday, when a
petition signed by nearly all the junior law
students was read to Chancellor of the Law
Department Emlin McClain. The petition
related to an alleged grievance against
Theodore Anderson, law librarian, for at
tempting TO coerce the students into pur-
chasing expensive reference books from him
at high prices, when the same books are in
the library, and by the rules are free to
every one. Nearly a score of students testi-
fed to insulting words and conduct on the
part of the librarian when asked civil ques-
tions. The most serious charge against Mr..
Anderson was that of hiding important text
and reference books belonging to the library
at times when most needed and then at
tempting to force students into buying new
copies of him at high prices. Chancellor
McClain expressed amazement at the testi-
mony and promised a speedy settlement of
the matter,
