Talk of Cold (torso Plant.
Following the location of another grain
elevator in Council Bluffs comes the
proposition to Install a cold storage plant
here. The matter Is now In the hands of
the executive committee of the Commer
cial club, which Is hopeful Of bringing It
to a successful culmination. While the
plans as yet are but In an embryonic state,
the plant, It Is proposed, will be built and
owned by local parties.
Tho erection of a cold storage plant In
tills city would undoubtedly fill a long felt
want and would receive, It Is said, patron
age from the surrounding towns, and as
surances have been received from Glenwood
tliiit the apple growers of that thriving
town would have occasion to use it at all
times 6T the year.
C. H. Chlsam, F. J. Day and others are
taking an active pfcrt In the matter and
are hopeful of organizing a local company
to construct the plant.' The proposition has
been endorsed by the Council Bluffs Re
tail Orocers' and Butchers' association,
ths members of which feel the need of
such a plant

Promise la for I.argrest and Finest
Grape Crop In Years,
Fruit growers of Council Bluffs and vi
cinity are enjoying one of the best sea
sons for several years. The vineyards are
In the very best of condition and a splen
did crop of grapes la looked for, the pros
pect In this direction being the beet for
many years. J. P. Keas of this city, one
of tho largest fruit growers In I this sec
tion of the state, said yesterday: "The
grape crop Is the beat in many years and
the yield promises not only to be large,
but of the finest quality. , The members of
the Council Bluffs Grape Growers' Ship
ping association will undoubtedly have a
profitable season this year."
Within the last few years the raising
of peaches has materially increased In
this vicinity and every tree, It Is said, this
year is well laden with fruit. The cherry
crop haa been enormous, but, strange as
it may seem, has not proved profitable,
simply from the reason that the growers
have been unable to secure pickers. Owing
to the lack of pickers the fruit has been
allowed to rot on the trees.
All small fruits are most plentiful, and
growers say that this year they have
raised the finest black and red raspberries
ever grown In this section of the country.
Not only was the crop large, but the ber
ries were of unusually large size.
WTille all other fruits are yielding large
crops, apples. It Is said, are not doing as
well as might be and. In fact, growers are
anticipating little over half a crop this
year.

APPROPRIATION IN TANGLE

TURN DOWN STATE UNIVERSITY VOUCHER
Rallread sal Express Assessment
Decided lon, bnt Board Hot
Hendy to Give Ont
Flajares nt Present.
(From a Start Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. July 23.-(8pe-la!. State
officials disagree as to the manner of reck
oning up the amounts due under certain
appropriations of the legislature, and their
disagreement is resulting in some embar
rassment to the institutions of the state.
For many years the fiscal periods com
menced when the appropriations went into
effect and this was supposed to be about
April L Some of the appropriations were
mads later than this, but it was the cus
tom to regard them as all commencing
April L Tho legislature last winter un
dertook to unify the system and make
all appropriations commence at the be
ginning of the biennial period, July 1. The
appropriations were, therefore, for a period
of twenty-seven months, or nearly that
time. Instead of twenty-four months. A
question arose as to how to draw the ap
propriations, which are required to be paid
quarterly, but are reckoned In annual
amounts and are continuing. The attorney
general haa ruled that the annual appro
priations shall commence July 1 and that
for tha period of three months or two
months and a half preceding, which would
f!ll in the time between the appropriations
of - the last two general assemblies, the
payments shall be prorated. But this
would be In effect adding to the annual ap
propriations. The slate auditor has, there
fore, not followed this rule. A few days
ago the treasurer of the State university
presented vouchers for a quarterly pay
ment to the university on the 335,000 an
nual appropriation for a full quarter. This
was In accordance with previous custom
but the attorney general holds that the
university Is entitled to only two and a
half months, because It Is only a part of
quarter. Hence the university got noth
ing. The difficulty arises In trying to make
the change In time of beginning the fiscal
years without interfering with the appro
priations or ' leaving Institutions without
support for a brief time.
Matheson Wants Jfeir Trial.
A case of a technicality reached the court

fied and was captured in Minnesota.

notified of that facf. Members of the council-have
been working until, midnight on
the assessment problem. 1

The stock of such spectacle fillers is as defective as their knowledge of optics.
The lenses arc carelessly ground, nnd the lens in one eye is frequently different from
the lens in the other eye. Wearing them will soon result in pain in the eyes and
injury to the sight.
Then there is frequently the condition of unequal vision that is, your eyes may
differ in focus and each may require a different, specially prescribed lens. In such
cases similar lenses, such as you would select for yourself or n, peddler would give you,
must of necessity prove injurious to one or both of . the eyes. ,
We, on the other hand, have the knowledge and appliances necessary to detect the
unequalyvision or any other defects, and grind the lenses to suit. Nine-tenths of the cases
of defective vision require glasses ground especially for the patient.

WILL TELL PARKER IN AUGUST
Democratic Presidential Candida'
Fixes Tenth of Next Month i
Notification.
ESOPfrS, N. T.. July 23,-Judge Parker
has fixed August 10 as the date tor the
ceremonies notifying htm df his nomina
tion by the national convention as candi
date for the presldancy.
Judge Parker reached his decision con
cerning the date In a long consultation '
with William F. Sheehan yesterday and a
telegram waa at once sent Champ Clark
of Missouri, chairman of the committee
named by the demoeratto convention to
notify, the nominee for president. ' '
Representative Clnrk Is expected to call
a meeting of his committee, probably to
be held In New York, and Tie may also
come to Rosemount to talk over the ar
rangements with Judge Parker, although
no plan for this has yet teen. made.
The program for tho ceremonies at Rose,
mount in August will follow precedents
laid down for similar events. It is known
that Judge Parker Is particularly Impressed
with the simplicity of the ceremonies which
took place on the occasion of President
Lincoln's second nomination, and also when ,
Judge Thurman was informed of his nom
ination for vice president. The speeches -both
times ware marked because of their
brevity. When President Cleve land was
notified In 18S8 he made a long speech
and tho ceremonies were far more formal
than any other which have been brought
to th attention of those who are arrang- '
lng details of the Rosemount ceremonies.
It Is the plan now at Rosemount to. have
the notification follow closely the form of
the earlier ceremonies. It Is not expected
that Judge Parker will talk at length, nor
that he will discuss Intimately any of the
campaign Issues, but will leave this to the
letter of acceptance, which will be Issued
a week or so late.
BEDFORD SPRINGS. Pa., July 28.-Hon.
