Cheerfully mid Confidently Admit * thnt Ilo Will Ilo the Next ruMtmtiitnr. Hon. Thomas Bowman is homo from a visit of several weeks to the national capital , where ho has been looking alter the fight over the oftlco of postmaster. With him came A. W. Reikmnn and .7. P. Weaver , who left for Wash ington a week or so ago , as soon as the announcement cutno from the president's lips that Roikman could not bo the next post master on account of the hornet's nest tnat had been stirred up by tbo nnti-Roikman democrats of this city. Since the departure of Relkman and Weaver all sorts of rumors have been afloat , but Mr. Bowman denies them all ia thu most cheerful manner pos sible. It is said that the motive of the two gentle men in leaving so abruptly for Washington was to compel Bowman to take back the half interest in the Globe which Riekman had bought with the understanding that ho was to be postmaster. "That Is not so , " said Bowman yesterday when asked as to the truth of the report ; 'tho subject was never mentioned between Weaver and myself while wo were In Wash ington. Mr. Roikman docs , iot want to got rid of his share of the Glebe , so far as I know. At all events , I shall not take it back. " "Thero is no doubt that you are to bo the Lx next postmaster , is there ? " was asked. "It is as certain as anything can be , " was his reply. "My nomination baa not yet been sent in to the semite for confirmation although what is the reason for the president's delay no ono bu } himself knows , Since that first announce ment came that Roikman could not be ap pointed , the president has sent iu no ap- "pointmcnts whatever , although some post masters have been agreed upon. My ap pointment has been lying on the table along with all the rest. " Mr. Bowman states that R. B.

" Prohibition was the rock upon which the Gr.ipo Growers association came near cleav ing In twain yesterday afternoon. A meet ing was held In the ofllco of Wheeler ft Herald for the purpose of taking steps toward having a bill introduced In ho legislature looking toward the pormis- lon of the manufacture of wine iti the state. About thirty or forty members of the asso ciation were present , together with a num ber of outsiders , who were more or less in terested. Alexander Wood occupied the chair , aim J. P. Iloss acted as secretary. After the object of Iho mooting had been stated li II. Odell was called upon to toll what his Ideas were upon the subject , ho havltip written the letter which first caused the announcement of the meeting to be made through the daily papers. Ho called atten tion to the delicacy of his position , as ho know that some of those present wore determined prohibitionists , who were op posed to any sort of legislation that would look like a retreat from prohibition. Later developments showed that the prohibition ists were as fully aware of the delicacy of his position as he was , for vihcn it came their turn to talk they raised a roar that could have been beard in the next county. I'rnlillct FutiQlit SuciMMstiilly * ' The prohibition sldo of tbo controversy was maintained by Messrs. Avcryj. \ . O. Williams and II. ( .1. Kaymond. Tlio two latter went so far as to say that if a petition of tbo kind desired should bo sent In from the Grape Growers association they would instantly have their names dropped from the membership roll. The anti-prohibition side was repre sented principally by Peter \Vleso , Dr. Deetkcn and Georcc H. Wheeler. The uues- tion of the propriety of driimlng liquors was argued to the fullest extent from every con ceivable standpoint. It was finally decided that the Grape Growers association as such should have nothing to do with drawing up any petition to the legislature , and the meeting ad journed. It immediately reconvened as a meeting of the fruit growers of Pottawntta- mic county , and the same question came up. Fortunately the discussion did not have to begin all over again , and It only took a very short time for n committee to draw up the necessary resolutions and have them adopted with only two dissenting votes , those of Raymond mend and Williams. The following were the resolutions : Formally Auk the f.air. Whereas I'rnlt growing In southwestern Iowa Is rapidly b.'coinlng one of the leading Industries of the .state , many tliousand-3 of acres bohiK already devoted thereto , and though .still In Its Infancy the surplus product of tlmso varieties that will bear transporta tion finding a market in the adjoining .states am. reaching out beyond into the weat and northwest ; and , Whereas The raisin of grapps constitutes a very considerable portion of such industry , many fruit farmcr.s In I'ottawaltamlo county and adjoining counties having alieady grown flvotolifly acres In vineyard : ) , producing a variety of grapes well adapted for making \rlne ; and Whereas , Orapes being perlslialile , and thus not protltablo for .shipping long distances to market us other fruits ; > .herofoio ; ho It Ke.solvcil , llv the fruit growers of 1'oltawat- tamlo aounty.'Iowa , In public session , that tlio of thest-ito of Twenty-lifth general assembly : Iowa bo and Is hereby requested and ear nestly urged toso : amend the present laws of the state for thu suppression of Intem perance as to permit the pri-aslng of garpes und other fruitgiown within tiio Ntato Into wine and elder , and to also penult tbo sale ' .hereof when .so pressed , in iiuantl- tles of five gallons or more , for domestic use , and also permit thu transportation of the same within the State. .

A committee was appointed , consisting of Spencer Smith , Alexander Wood and George H. Wheeler , to go to DCS Molnes and look after the matter in the legislature. Al though the Grape Growers association will not have anything to do with the case , the aotion taken will bo fully as effective , for it was practically n unanimous expression of opinion by the gentlemen composing the as sociation.

The community was shocked josterday morning at the announcement of the death of A. M. Beardsloy , who has kept a drug store at 134 Broadway for many years past. Ho had not been ill , and his death was totally unexpected. During thu afternoon ho had been troubled with nausea , and to stop it he wont to his store and took a drink of whisky. When his day's work was done ho went to his homo at 114 lurk avenue and spent most of the evening in amusing his throe children. The second of them. Uay , was ill , und when it came time for bed ho brought a cot into the llttlo fellow's room and lay down upon It , seas as not to disturb his wife in case ho should bo called upon during the night. Along about 4 o'clocu in the morning Mrs. Beardsloy happened to think that she had heard nothing from her husband , and so she got up and wont to his bedside. Sue spoke to him , but re ceived no reply. When she took hold of his body she found it cold. Ho must have been dead several hours. 'Iho cause of his death was undoubtedly apoplexy plexy , although ho had novcr been subject to the discaso and was not at all the kind of man who would bo taken for a victim of ape plexy. Amzl Mantor Boardsley was born Iu Now York and was 55 years of ago at the time of his death. For the past twenty-six years ho has been u resident of this city , coming hero from Wisconsin along witli Mr. A. T , Ulco , who was his life long friend. During his whole residence hero ho was in the drug business in the same building , In 1877 ho married a Council Bluffs young lady , Miss Sarah I.

[ Special to Tin : DEI : . ] Another chapter was onnctcd yester day in the late Cass County bunk failure case. Albert DicKorson , the cashier , was arrested on the instigation of W. C. Carter. Dickorson had gone to Omaha on business and it was thought that ho was seeking an opportunity to disappear. Ho waived ex amination and was placed under $ T > ,000 bonds , 'ihis makes a total of $10,000 now holding him , and many claim that It is not suftlciont for the crime. While there has been but llttlo outward demonstration outside of the smearing of red paint on the bank building and tho'ollieo of Dickerson & Diekorson a few nights ago , there is a deep undercurrent of feeling against Al Dickorson among the depositors , who compose hundreds of the best citizens of the county. The incidents attending the failure are without a parallel in many respects in banking business iu Iowa. The oHIeors and stockholders are per sons of prominence and the bank has done a heavy business , the deposits generally run ning about $300,000 , a great deal of which was drawing 7 and 8 per cent interest. No statement has yet boon made by Receiver Steinko and it is impossible to give an accu rate statement of liabilities , but they uro estimated at about $ yoo,030. There will bo a long and hard fought bat tle in the courts over the settlement , as there is an open question as to whether It was a state bank or u private institution. The bank was organized as u state bank with the present oftlcci-s J.C. Yctzer , presi dent ; Isaac Dickerson , vice president , and Albert Dickersou , his son , c.ishlur. The stockholders , outside of the ofllcors , were : N. Richards , G. S. Montgomery , Mr. lj. Gregg , Cornell * P. Kcyes Winslow , C. F. Lioofburow and the Hussell ostut" . Last January , when the state bank ex aminer went to examine thu books , they said they were not ready to be examined. The examiner thereupon demanded that they surrender their charter. This tlio ofilcers turned over , claiming that they voted their own stock and that of the Rus sell estate , ami claimed that It aggregated the required three-lourths of all the stock. It is now claimed by the other stockholders that they were never given notice of the surrender and that the notice of surrender v as novcr legally published , although an aflldavit is on lilo in the state auditor's ofllco stating that the notice was published four times in the Cass County Democrat. It is claimed that no paper con taining the notice has been found in general circulation. W. C. Cooper , executor of the Russell estate , now comes forward and states that the Diekersons had no authority to vote their stock. If it is a private hank , the property of the indiviaal stockholders is liable for the deficit , which property would include the largo estates 1/nown as the Keys and Russell estates ; but if a state bank , the depositors claim they will got next to nothing , as no money was on hand , ? r,000 was out in protested drafts and thousands of dollars in notes are claimed to have been given as collateral und arc now turnlni ; up in other hands.
