LAST NIGHT SEES BIG CROWDS
E1ks' Fair Proves Great Success,
Both Financially and
Socially.

The FIRST and only Elks' street fair and
carnival, after a week Of unprecedented
success from every standpoint. closed last
night. As had been anticipated the clos
ing day witnessed the largest attendance
OF the week and It Is estimated that dur
ing the afternoon and night close upon
Is, 200 people visited the fair. At night
many left early, fearing the closing scenes
generally attendant on such occasions, but
there was little, II any, rowdyism. as every
member OF the lodge on the ground con-
stituted himself a committee OF one to
suppress all disorderly conduct.
Considerable disappointment was felt
when word was received that the Sioux
City lodge had been unable to make suit
able terms with the railroad and therefore
could not assist In closing the carnival.
It was roughly estimated last night hat
at least $4,000 people had visited the fair
during the week. The members Of the
Council Bluffs lodge worked hard for the
success OF the carnival and they have
been amply rewarded and the lodge will
reap a handsome profit from IT.
The prizes donated by the business men
and nrms of Council Bluffs will be dis
tributed Tuesday night. Announcements
will be made from the bsndstand in Bay
liss's park.
Voting on the diamond ring contest did
not close until the clock on the Bloomer
school house tolled the midnight hour and
excitement until the name Of the fortunate
young woman who will wear the sparkler
was announced, was intense. The voting
was brisk the greater part OF the day,
but the rush was during the last hour
and especially the last ten minutes before
the contest closed.
According to the vote the most popular
young woman in Council Bluffs is Georgia
Mitchell. and as such she will wear the
ring. The vote was: Georgia Mitchell,
1872; Adah Sargent. $50; Gladys Hart, SS3;
Edna Keeline, 1913.

Mayor Martin has enlisted the assistance
OF several former Masons and business
men and they have started a poor old man
on his way to Boston to spend the re-
mainder Of his days with his daughter,
who will furnish him with a home. She
does not know Of his condition, and would
never have known but for the work OF the
friends. as the father was once president
OF a bank at Newberyport, Mass, and was
not going to allow his friends to learn Of
his condition until he found that age had
made him an unequal combatant with the
world. He had lived here for eight months
and tried to make a living selling books.
He subsisted on one lunch per day, and
sometimes less, and slept in barns and
sheds because he had not the money for
lodging. He was still proud and the story
Of his mlsfortunes was drawn from him
