The question of a place to meet nsxt year was dlscuap d , nnd Tabor , Qlenwood and Counc 1 Bluffs eich sent Invitations. Coun cil Bluffs was selected. There Is a stron ? feeling In favor of making Council Bluffs the permanent meeting place and uniting with the Western Iowa Poultry nnd Pet Stock association In giving n mammoth ex hibition every winter. At any rate , that plan will be followed next > ear. The reports of the ivcretnry and treasurer made one Impression upon the committee to which they were referred. This Impression manifested Itself In the report , which was to the effect that the executive commutes make a revision of the premium list. In order that the Income and outlay might b ? brought within gunshot of one another , InsUt'd of bankrupting the treasury each year. The following committees were appointed ; Nomenclature : W. K.

Among the many line exhibits cf the Southwestern Iowa Fruit Growers' associa tion In the Elseman building there nre none that attracts quite so much attention as a gigantic bunch of grapes shown by J. U. McPherson , the florist. They are objects of more than ordinary beauty , but when ths card attached la read , announcing that they have been kept In an open basket In the cpen air for the past thice months , they become doubly Intel eating. The grapes are Mr. McPherson's famous "lloyal Vernage , " a grape that has no equal perhaps In the world for exqulslteness of flavor , prolific- neos of bearing and extraordinary heaping qualities. All other grapes wither or spoil quickly after being plucked and can only be kept for evin early winter use when se curely packed In sawdust and preserved in cold storage. These new grapes are simply preserved In baskts that were put In an ordinary cellar when the weather became cold. With the same care that would be given ordinarily to potatoes the giaps come down to Christmas time crisp , fresh and Juicy , In much better condition In every way than any other variety would have been In If carefully preserved In cold storage. This Is the substantial verification of Mr. Mc- Phers-on's claim that the Vernage Is the cnly giapo that can be kept without trouble and In n condition always ready for the tfthlo from September to May , bes'des ' the added qualities of being the most prolific bearer , vines this year bearing as high as forty-two pounds to the vine. Mr. JlcPherscn has been the recipient of many congratula tions. _ ClirlxliiiiiM fiiioilH nt I 'n n I c 1'rleoH. And a $20,000 stock to sslect from.

A petition has ben tiled In the United States court by George P. Polsom asking that tl e decree rendered In the case of Georg ? W. Iladford , assignee , against Agnes I'ohorn anJ others , l > a set aside , and that he be allowed to file an answer and cross-pe tition. The decree Just referred to was handed down In the federal court In 1SS5. The Folsom estate at one time was worth In the neighborhood of $100,000 , but now , It Is said , thr > value has been reduced to about $10,000 Tor many years It was the sub ject of litigation bjtween Simeon , Frank and niizi Polsoni on one tide , and Jeremiah and his wife Sarah on the other. Th ? property Involved In the suit of Iladford against Polsom was the property of Sarah Folsom , mother of Florence , Adcle and Georg ? P. Polsom. Pending the settlement cf the law suits uniting the Fcdsotns she died. Her husband and daughter Adclc dle.l subsequently , so that Florence and George were left her fol heirs. A jcar later the suit of Iladford against Agnes Folsom was ended by a decree of court awarding one-third of all the property to Agnes Folsom , and one-sixth each to Ward P. , Florence , Ad5le , nnd George P. Folsom. H covered the property claimed by Sarah Polsom's hclra nnd various other real estate. This decree led to a partition suit , commenced In the district court of Pottavvattamle county , and the estate was divided among the heirs before George P. Folseim was 21 years of age. He now al leges that the share which was given to Agnes and Ward P. Folsom belongs of right to him and his sister , Florence , as heirs of Sarah Fohom. He attacks the federal court decree en the ground that he was given no opportunity to show ciuse , when he be came of age , why the decree should not stand , and because the division was un just and erroneous. He wants a chance to set up his cross-petition , and ho asks that the decree 1)2 so modified as to require Agnes and Wdrd Polsom to convey to him a half Interest In the property to which they now hold the title. The value of the property is estimated at $40,000 , and If they do not deed him a half , ho wants a money judgment of $20,000. It looks very much as If the whole litigation would now have to be gone over again from the first. T'li'turoH for XIIIIIH. Lots of new ones. Photo frames medal lions , novelties.
