For Several Months He Tried to Get

Time His Proposed Visit Was
Tipped OF to the GambIers-Took
Matter in One Hand.

Council Bluffs, Ia, April 30.-lt took
Mayor MacRae just two hours last
.isht to str gambling in the city of
Council Bluffs. He was aided by a
Cots AS revolver only, but the mayor
and his gun spread terror among the
gamblers, and al the end of two hours
the Jail vas filled to Overlooking with
them.
For several months MacRae endeav-
ored to pull the gambling saloons.
but all raids were tipped off in ad-
vance. and resulted in noarrests
Last night the mayor took af-
fairs into his own hands. Shortly
after midnight the door of the alleged
gambling rooms above the big Man
haitian saloon suddenly opened. disclos-
ing Mayor MacRae with leveled gun
covering the crowd of sports within.
The mayor stepped within the door
anG demanded the surrender of the
crowd. So great was the surprise that
none of the gamblers attempted to es-
cape. and a few minutes later, when
the patrol wagons appeared. the four
teen gamblers. together with their
gambling devices, were loaded into the
wagons Il taken to the station.
At the Krug saloon the bartender
attempted to prevent MacRae from en-
tering the rear rooms where gambling
was in progress. The mayor quickly
covered the bartender with his big
GUN and demanded that the doors be
opened.
Again did the mayor arrest all the
inmates, who made al unsuccessful
stampede to escape, but the gun

100000 At THE FAIR
OPENING OF BIG EXPOSITION
EcLIPsEs ANTciPATIoNs IN
WAY OF ATTENDANCE.
Three Great PROFESSIONS Proved Most
Imposing and All Ceremonies Very
Impressive-GoId Braid and Bright
CoIors Of Foreigners Much In Evi.
dence on Grounds,

st. Louis, Mo-, April 3O.-The open
ing of the exposition has eclipsed an
ticipations. Up to 3 o'clock this aft
ernoon nearly 100000 people partici-
pated. The three great professions
proved most imposing and all the GER
emonies extremely impressive. AS the
first column from the administration
building entered the plaza, a long line
of representatives of foreign govern
ments came pouring into the plaza
from another avenue. 1t was a re-
markable gathering and presented the
gayest appearance of the day, as the
foreigners make a great display of
gold lace and bright colors %glittering,
in decided contrast to the bright silk
hats and dark frock coats of the prom.
inent Americans. The third column
was made up of the representatives Of
the state and territory governments OF
the Union. Governor Odell of New
York and Governor Peabody and Gen
eral Bell of Colorado were apparently
the most notable figures in this group.
The opening address by President
Francis was a fine effort. He began:
"A great thinker has said the senti.
ment from which it springs determines
the dignity of any deed. This univer'
sal exposition was conceived in a sense
of obligation on the part of the people
of the Louisiana purchase to give ex'
preston to their gratitude for the in
Vulnerable blessings that have flown
in from a century of membership in
the American Union; to manifest their
appreciation of the manifold benefits
OF living in a land whose climate and
soil and are unsurpassed
and Of having their lots cast in an age
when liberty and enlightenment are
established on foundations broad and
deep"

Union Pacific Makes Good,

So far the Union Pacific has made
good with its break from the passen-
ger association regarding special rates
from the cas- to California points,
says the Denver Times. For the Meth
odist conference and the meeting of
grocers in San Francisco this road has
had practically all of the business from
the Missouri river westward to Den
yer.
When the officials of the roads con-
cerned first began a discussion of the
business and the rates the Union Pa
ciic was the only line that did not
enter the agreement and take a posi-
ton against certain big tourist and ex-
cursion agencies in the east. Conse-
Quently. all of the business of these
agencies has been routed via this line.
1t has worked like a charm 50 far, and
the system is profiting. Incidentally,
nearly all of the business has been
sent through Colorado.

DROWNED AT COSBY BEACH
WISRRED BERRY WADED or

Did Not Realize Depth and Could Not
swim-was Visiting at Interna7
tionaI Correspondence School Camp
Lived in Danbury-Very Prominent
There. < 49,
A drowning accident occurred at the
camp of the Hartford division of the
International Correspondence schools
at Cosey Beach yesterday morning.
Winfred Berry of Danbury, who is not
a member of the school. but who has
been visiting a friend at the camp, was
| the victim of the accident.
Mr.. Berry, while in bathing at low
| tide Thursday, waded out for quite a
distance. Yesterday not realizing the
| increased depth of the water at a high
er tide, he tried to wade out to the
same distance as on a previous day.
+ Suddenly he stepped into water over
his head, and, as he could not swim.
| he sank after struggling desperately to
reach higher ground. There were fully
a hundred bathers in the vicinity who
could have easily rescued him, but as
he made no cutlery of any kind, no one
knew OF his danger.
/ A man. standing on the yeranda Of a
nearby cottage saw the man struggle,
but as Mr.. Berry did not shout he
| thought he was diving or performing
some aquatic feats. Many Others who
/ were near saw the splashing. but
thought nothing OF it. as a man who
had been diving came to the surface
near where Berry was just then That
he was missing was not discovered
until nearly two hours later, when his
clothing was noticed in the camp. A
! search was then begun, which resulted
in the finding OF the body at 2 O'clock
nearly three hours after the drowning
had occurred.
The remains were brought to the I'M
dertaking establishment OF Lewis &
Maycock from where they will be
shipped home to-day. Berry was .tWen-
ty-one years old, and very prominent
in Danbury. e is survived by his par.
ents and one brother.
