' nnd Inrdoner.V association was held yesterday afternoon In the county court hoiian. The neetlng was characterized mainly by the argo amount of now farmer blood that was nstllled In It. In nddition to Captain D. B. Jlark , O. W. Gordon , H. M. Prouty nnd all other htandbys , there wcio Farmers T. J. Cvans of thu motor company , W. .1. Haven- > ort of Burlington , J. J. StcaJmau , nnd n , iilinburof others who have not ordinarily been ccognl/.ed as such men. John 'I' . Stewart Colonel D. B. Dalloy were there also but they were nut there as farmers. The nnln object of the meeting was to talk over ho advisability of joining the Blue Glass oague , and this subject was broached the irst thing , Colonel W. M. Scott , president of ho Blue Grass Palr.cc association of Crcston , ind President Mitchell of the Blue Grass cngtio having como to the Bluffs to use their nlluence with the farmers ot Pottawattamlo county to get thorn buck into thu association. Both the gentlemen spoke very warmly of the benefits that would arcruo to the county tind the city bv going back Into the nssocla- Ion , but niter they had finished It was ovi- lent that the farmers nnd others who were iresent were far from convinced that the only vay lu which they would over hope to get along was by joining the league. Coltmcl D. 15. Unitey then muse nnd presented - sented an invitation that had been prepared n his ollico and signed by the president of the Council Bluffs Driving Park association , 1. T. Stewart. The invitation was bubstnu- lally as follows : Ti. thu liurdrnrtV and 1'nilt Growers' \sso- uhitloii ( if I'oUiiMiiltiiiiilu Comity ! The Coun cil ItluIVs l > rlvln I'urU ami Pair nmintUm ri'iyi'i-tfiilly states that It Is Its purpose to rcMvn the old tlniu : igrlinilliiril : fair In con- u'cthin with the other attractions at Its fu- : iuo mutual inci-llngi , and to tins end the .liirdeniTs' and 1'rult ( .rowers' association of Ills comity , together with all agricultural -ocietles lire coidlally Invited to exhibit the iiodiiuta ot tholr tespcetlvc labors and enter- .irlsi'M . at the coming September meeting of he Driving I'ui-k and l-'alr nxsouliitlon. The illlcei-H and iimiiairurs of the latter association leiuby pr. ffcr to the ( Inrdunurs1 and Krult iroucis' and all kindled agricultural asso ciations every facility needful to mutually Klvancu Ilin bc-it Interests of both assocla- lous and to form within ourselves an organi sation that miy ; be pcimuncnt and profitable. The .subject was then declared open for discussion , nnd the opportunity w.is liken ulvnntago of very generously. Mr. Stewart stated that in his opinion it was tune that Jouncil BlulTs began to pay some attention o her own a'Y.iIrs , and ho did not see how it could bo bettor done than by considering Just tich enterprises us the one which had been suggested to the association. Ho united to nind that in former times Council BlulTs had ind n county fair that , had been unexcelled by uiy In the state , but , that for some reason or other it had been allowed to die out , The 3rlving Park association now proposes to revive - vivo It and make it a permanent affair , and with the assistance ot the farmers and fruit growcis , ho saw no reason why the old tlmo success should not bo realized. Colonel Dniloy nlso spoke in laver of the en- erpriso. ! lo stated that for miles east of the city Pottawattamio county consisted of ono "mmense garden , and ho did not believe thcro was n single county in the state that could furnieh the material for an exhibit , of its products in this line such as Poltuwnttainlo could furnish. Other speakers followed , and to all nppear- aucos the opinion of almost every one present was In favor of reviving the county fair. President Stewart of the Driving Park asso ciation then extended an Invitation to the members of the Farmers' association to tnko a ride with him on the motor line to the driving park for the purpose of looking over the ground and seeing what arrangements would have to bo made before the fair could bo hold. A special motor train was sent lor and in a short time about twenty representa tives wore on their way to the park. Before they went , however , they appointed n com mittee of six , consisting of J. C. Raymond , James Itainbow , S. Underwood , J. W. Tern- pleton , L. A. Casper and Eugene Hupfel , to confer with another committee to bo ap pointed by the Driving Park association with reference to iho Invitation which had been extended to the farmers to cngngo in the fair enterprise with them. Another meeting of the association will beheld held next Saturday afternoon at" o'clock , nt which time another ride will bo taken to the driving park on invitation of Mr. Stewart. At 4 o'clock the farmers will convene in the court house and will hear reports from the committees , Including the one which was np- pointed to consider the advisability of Joining iho Blue Grass leaguo.

A decree was handed down yesterday morning by Judge McGee in the case of Fred Cllno ngainst the Northwestern railway , which settles , so far as the superior court'is concerned , the question as to whether or not It is necessary for railway companies to build fences along their lines inside city limits. The suit was brought in the flrst place to collect daninircs for the killing of n horse which fell through n culvert on the Northwestern insldo the limits of Council Bluffs. The ground upon which thu plaintiff based his claim for damages was statute which was passed at the last session of the Iowa legislature a little over n year ago providing that all railway companies in the state should fence their lines on both sides , Ho held that this statute was applicable to that part of the railwav lines Inside of the city limits us well as to thb linoj outside , and that the provision for cat tle guards at highway crossings applied as well to the crossings of streets us to the crossIngs - Ings of county roads , The decision of the court was in favor of the defendant , the de cision being that the statute was not npptlcn- blo to railway lines Insldo of corr.oruto municipal limits. As the decision is ono of the llrst under the statute , it has an Interest greater than If there were more prccdcnts for the de cision. The supreme court has never passed on the statute. lOc outing fluiinel for So nt Iho Boston store , Council Bluffs , 0 to 'U , Monday oven- lug. _ U is to your interest to consult Manilol Jt Klein before you buy your furniture , carpels or stoves.

The salon of Madame Hecamior was not , in nny sense philosophical or political , but after the cruel persecution of La Hnrpo , the ban ishment of Madame do Stael , nud the similar misfortunes of other friends , her sympathies were too strong for her diplomacy , und it gradually fell inu the ranks of the opposition , writes Amelia Gere in the Century. It was well known that the emperor regarded all who went tliero ns tils enemies , and this young nnd innocent woman was destined to feel the lull bitterness of his displeasure. Wo cannot trnco hero the incidents of her varied career , the misfortunes of a father to whom she was n ministering angel , and the loss of her husband's fortune and her own , the years of wandering and exile , the second period of brief but illusive prosperity.and the swift reverses which load to her final retreat She was nt the height of her fame in the early days of the restoration , when her salon revived its old brilliancy , and was the center in which all parties met ou neutral ground. Her Intimate relations with these in power gave it u strong political Itillueuco , but this was never u marked feature , as it was mainly personal But the position in which ono is most in clined to recall Madame Kccaniioris in the convent of Abbaye-aux-Bols , where divested of fortune and living | H the simplest manner , she preserved for nearly thirty years the fading traditions of the old sulons. Through nil the changes which tried her fortitude and revealed the latent heroism of her character , she seems to have kept her sweet serenity unbroken , bending to the passing storms with the grace of a facile nature , but never inurnuirliic nt the inevitable. One may Und in this flexible strength and gentleness of temper n clue to the subtle fascination which held thu devoted friendship of so many gifted ' ed men and women , long utter the 'fresh charm of youth was gone.
