Though tho fourth biennial convention ot
the Iowa Federation of Woman's clubs does
not formally open until this morning, a real
convention air buenmo manifest In Council
Hluffs yesterday afternoon. The morning
trnlns brought a number of wotiirn, but it
was not until 3 o'clock that tho delegates
really began coming, and from tbat tlmo
until midnight fully 200 delegates and visit
ors reported to the credentials committee.
Ab the visiting women arrived they wero
met at the trains and taken In carriages to
tho Orand hotel, where, with Mrs. W. I.
Smith as chairman, tho entertainment com
mitteo was stationed to receive and assign
them to their hostesses. All afternoon nnd
evening tho corridors were filled with tho
flower of Iowa's educated and cultured
women.
Among the llrst to nrrlve was Mrs. Wil
liams, president ot the Minnesota federa
tion, who Is being entertained by Mrs. Ev
erett. The stato oltlccrs also came, early
and are being entertained at the Urand.
Mrs. A. D. Shaw Is Miss Laura Kllcklnger's
guest. Though the Des Moines delegation
was to be here at 3:30, It did not arrive un
til almost midnight.
1'IMy " flubs Voted In.
Tho executive board met at 7 and ills
chat gert the preliminary routine buslucss,
Including the allowing of bills. In addition
to this, fifty now clubs were voted Into tho
federation, which makes a total ot 249
clubs, showing a great gain over tho num
ber admitted at the last meeting, which was
seventeen.
A meeting of the club extension commit
tee followed. This was the first meeting
since its organization. Iteports wero made,
and tho results of Its work are most profit
able. The meeting of the council was at tho
Grand hotel In the evening nnd a large at
tendance was present. The council consists
of tho stato ofllccrs and proaldent of tho
federated clubs. Tho meeting was called
to order soon after S, with Mrs. Mabel
Dixon Hutchison presiding. After remarks
on the object ot the gathering Mrs. Hutch
ison Introduced Mrs. Martha C. Elllck of
Burlington, vice president of the federation,
who read a paper on "Ideal Results of
Woman's Clubs." Mrs. Elllck said that sev
eral hundred Iowa women wero to gather
at tho meeting, Interested In a wldo variety
ot subjects, the highest results ot which
must be the training of the woman herself,
and us a large port of the puro and moral
atmosphere ot the home depends upon tho
women nil of her efforts and education must
be to this end and in educating her to this
the club fulfills Its highest usefulness.
Norinnl TrnlnliiK In Public Schools.
"Manual Training In the' Tublle Schools"
was the next subject and was announced
to bo given by Dr. Jennie McGowan of
Davenport, hut as sbo was unable to be
present Mrs. C, C. Garst ot Coon Rapids
took tho subject. Mrs. Garst said It was
the aim of the educators of Iowa to glvo
tho children tho advantage ot tho things
that their parents had been unable to have,
and that manual training was one of these.
It was a practical education, much needed,'
and one that would take caro of tho boy's
mischievous Inclination and develop his
constructive ability.
"Wo must work for this together," she
said, "for 'together' Is the sounding key
noto of the twentieth ceutury, and If wo
do not accomplish this by legislation let
us do It by creating ..the sentiment."
In the discussion that followed the sys
tem of confining the manual training
classes to the high schools was condemned,
an a large per cent of the children that
need this training most rarely get to the
high school and so mlsB not only the com
mon school branches, but also that which
would enable them to become useful men.
Women' Clubs and Home Life.
"Aro Women's Clubs a Ueneflclal Factor
In Homo Life?" was the subject of a paper
by Mrs. Julia Clarke Hallem ot Sioux City.
Sbo pointed out how the home might suffer
from tho Intercut In the club and how It
might be greatly benefited. She snld the
woman Is tho one point ot contact between
tho club and homo. Whether the club was
n help or a hlndranco depended upon the
woman herself, but a well-balanced woman
must profit by on education of her Judgment
such as It received by club association.
"How Can the Woman's Clubs Help the
TeachcrB?" was thVtoptc of a paper by
Mrs. S. E. J. Sawyer of Crcston, who ox
pressed -the opinion that the club could
greatly help the work of the teachers by
beautifying the cities, towns and school
rooms and so supplementing the teachers'
efforts In the same direction.
Object Inn Hble Advertising.
Mrs. Jannett Dcomer of Red Oak con
cluded the program with nn excellent
paper on "ObJectlonablo Advertising." She
spoke of the disfigurement of the cities by
ungainly billboards, upon which were die
played poators of a character to contami
nate every child that saw them, of tho
disfigurement of somo of the finest Ameri
can scenery by tho signs of the cnterprls
lug advertiser, of the restrictions that gov
ern such advertising In Europe as com
pared with the Unltod States, and asked
In conclusion If an advertisement must
necessarily ho a disfigurement, equally of
fensive to the moral and aesthetic, scneo.
A general discussion followed, which
showed that tho women wero thoroughly
alive to the spirit of reform in advertising.

ForecnstliiK Hleellons.
Even at this early datu tbcro Is keen
Interest In the election ot officers. Per
haps the mobi talked of woman for tho
presidency is Mrs. A. C. Rally of Des
Moines. Des Moines als6 has another woman
who Is popular as a prospective candidate,
but as that olllce has always been held by
some member of the eastern part of the
stato tho western clubs rather feel that
tho olllce belongs to them this time, nnd
Mrs. H. M. Deemer or Red Oak may ro
cctve the support of the majority. While
Mrs. Dceracr protested yesterday against
having her name used, her friends will hold
her as n candidate.
Council Hluffs nlso has two women, who,
but for the courtesy precedent, would re
ceive strong support, and, in view of tho
fact that tho hostess city has never sup
ported n candidate for tho olllce of presi
dent, there is a strong feeling In the west
ern part of the state In favor of dUrt;
garding this unwritten law. In case this
should be done, Mrs. W. I. Smith or Miss
Dodge would probably be the choice, If
cither would consent to run.
It Is generally understood that Des
Moines wishes to cntcrtnln tho next bien
nial and will extend the invitation.
Color Quefitlon Closel)- Wntolied.
Resides the election there Is another mat
ter receiving much attention and that Is
the color question. There seems to be a
difference of opinion nmong the various
clubs regarding this matter. The Des
Moines delegntlon has been Instructed to
stand for the admission of tho colored
clubs, at have several others, aud the dis
posal of this matter will be watched with
keen Interest all over the country, owing
to the decided stand taken by tho Iowa del
egation al tho Milwaukee biennial and tho
subsequent tabling of Its resolution con
cerning the question, nn action which at
tracted widespread attention,

Case the llnsls.
DES MOINES, la., April 30. (Special
Telegram.) Tho annual meeting of tho
Grlnnoll Association ot Congregational
Churches was today In Baxter, Jasper
county. As anticipated, action was taken
looking to the trial of Prof. George D. Her
ron. The association has no direct author
ity, but a resolution was Introduced and
passed, asking the Congregational church
at Orlnncll, with which Hcrrou was con
nected, to bring an action and have a coun
cil appointed to try Hcrrou. This church
will meet Thursday to provide for tho ap
pointment of a council. Opportunity will
be given Hcrron to be heard and he can
have representation on tho council, hut
the understanding Is ho will not make any
defense, but Ignore the charges.
The facts set forth In the petition for
dlvorco In tho Kossuth county court will
form the basis ot the trial nnd the specific
charge will be conduct unbecoming a min
ister. The facts In tho divorce petition
are Indefinite, but Indicate that Prof. Her
ron had been going about the country with
Miss Rand, his benefactor, and had Rhown
Intimacy with her for a long while. He
is charged with wife desertion five years
ago and with cruelty to Mrs. Hcrron. The
resolution was passed without debate and
Is as follows:
Mcmorlnl Adopted.
Whereas, Charges, of conduct Inconsist
ent with Christian character have been
made In a court of Justice ngalnst a mem
ber of this association, George D. Herron,
formerly ot Orlnncll;
Whereas, The court considered these
charges sufficiently well established nnd of
so gravo a character as to Justify the
granting of dlvorco to Mrs. Herron, with
tho custody of the children; therefore
Resolved, That this association requests
the First Congregational church of Orln
ncll to call ti council of Congregational
churches nt earliest date practicable, to
advise as to what should be done with
reference to the ministerial standing and
church membership of said Herron. e
ndvlse that this council be mutual. If possi
ble; ex parte If necessary, and If Grinned
church should fall to call such council at
nn early dnte. we advise that Plymouth
Congregational church of Des Moines
should take action In the matter, and In
case these nbove mentioned churches fall
to act, we advlso tho Congregational
church at Newton to call a council.
Resolved further, Thnt the scribe of this
association be and Is hereby authorized
and requested to omit the nnmo of Gcorgo
D. Herron from the published list of mem
bers of this nssoolntlon until the next meet
ing of this association, provided a council
called as Indicated above should so advise.
FAIR OFFICIALS TO MEET
Stnte Kxccutlve Committee lo Make
Flnnl Contraeln Ideal Condi
tion for Knrm Work.
DES MOINES, April 30. (Special.) A
call has been Issued for a meeting of the
executive committee of the Io'wa depart
ment of agriculture May 14 for jthe pur
pose of making important final contracts
with regard to the Iowa state fair for this
year. There will also be a number of the
other members of the department pres
ent, Including W. W. Morrow of Afton,
superintendent of machinery, and J. W.
Wadsworth of Algona, superintendent of
privileges. It Is the purpose of the board
nt that time to meet the agents of various
bands desiring engagements for the state
fair and the managers ot various theatri
cal compunles, vnudevlllo entertainments
and surh affairs, who may make offers to
the fair management. Tho question of
expenditures for further improvements on
the fair grounds will also be taken up at
that time.
Auother matter not yet settled, but which
Is causing tho fair management somo
trouble, Is that of a building tor exhibits
of Iowa machinery. It Is only In recent
years that the growth of machinery making
In Iowa hns been marked and the fair man
agement has not now the facilities for
showing off the products of Iowa factories.
The nominations for tho stake races in
the speed clashes close tomorrow and, as
a good many entries have already been rei
eelved, It Is probable the classes will all
fill. The fair management baa made a
largo profit on the last two state fairs and
this is encouraging for another successful
fair this year.
Itnllroad Comnilnsloit Baalnesa,
The Iowa railroad commissioners will to
morrow take up the question ot condemn
ing certain Innd In Des Moines for the ben
efit of tho Des Moines Railroad company
on which to construct an addition to Its
freight depot. The land Is occupied and
Is quite valuable. Thursday tho commis
sioners have set for hearing the case of
the proposed condemnation by the Rock
Island Railroad company of twenty feet
of th3 sldo of Catholic square In Daven
port to widen tho right of way and mako
It possible for the company to raise tho
grade through the city.
