ter states that the average cost of trans

A Inigc number of fruit caters as wcl
as fruit growers gathered in Farmers' hal
In the basement of the county court lions
yesterday afternoon and listened to the dls
cuTslons ot subjects brought forward nt th
regular monthly meeting of the Grap
Glowers' and Gnrdencts' association. Paper
were read on thu subjects to be dlscussci
and at their conclusion a general dlscussloi
wns Indulged In by nil the members. Pete
Wcls nnd 13. A , ll < > ss read papers on thi
subject ot the culture and character o
blackberries. The pnpcia covered nbout nl
*
the phases of the subject and were llstenei
to with n great deal of interest , and thi
subsequent dlscucslon drew out opinions am
experiences from neaily all present. Al
agreed that the best results could be In
surcd by planting the shrubs on the northen
and northeastern hill slopes. The Snydci
wnb declared to bo the only vnrlety thn
could be cultivated sntcesfully , nnd the onlj
objection vvab Its smnll size. Many hai
tried the Western Triumph , a now variety
from Michigan , but with a few exception !
it had proved a failure owing to Its llabllltj
to w Inter Kill. Alexander Wood suggestei
that the members would find It a good platte
to cxpcilment with seedlings. He hat
planted seedp from the Snydcr and had sc
cured u number of fine , hardy and prollfli
varieties , and he believed that the best euc
cess could yet bo hoped for from Intelligent
and careful piopagatlon of now nnd oilglna
varieties from this hardy stock.
The subject of peaches and their cultun
diew forth a long and Interesting discus
slon. L. 0. Williams led the discussion b ]
reading an excellent paper on the care am
culture of the fruit , which he believed coult
bo made the most piofitablo and safest ol
the western Iowa fruits. He advised plant
Ing the trees on the north and northcasi
hillsides and always on uplands , and J. M
Hus cll of Wjmorc , Neb. , one ot the ploneci
peach producers of the stair , gave the mem
bers some valuable Information concerning
his experiments and successes In ralsliif
peaches In Nebraska that compare favorably
In size and color and excelled in flavor the
finest Callfoinla product. He gave n num
ber of vailelles that he had found to be
safe and sine bearers In this climate anil
soil , naming them In the order of theh
carllncss : The Alexander , Waterloo , Early
lllvers , Collldge , Favorite , Champion , Wag
er's Hill's Chill , Heath's cling and the Cros
by. Each of these \arlctles he has found
to be piollfle fruiters and able to withstand
ordinary vv Inters nnd all-the-year-rounel
weather.
F. W. Mcnery advocated the Snced , Orange
cling , Canada red , BoKain No 3 and the
Bailey. Iho latter was Introduced three
years ago from the Southeastern Iowa as
sociation , and was highly recommended for
trial. Mr. Menery's experience with It Indi
cated that It was not as hardy nor as fine
a fruiter as some of the1 other varieties , es
pecially the Bokara , which he declared was
the finest member of the peach family and
as hardy as the foicst trees. It is a recent
Importation from Siberia.
A good deal of Interest was awakened In
a communication received from the National
Nurseij man's association announcing that
the bark loiiio or scale bug had made Its
appearance In Illinois , and was creating
havoc with all kinds of fruit trees and
shrubs. The association was cautioned to
watch for Its appearance and fight It nt
once with some of the many approved fungi
cides that arc known to be efficacious. The
genoial character of the pest was dhcussed
and the members made familiar with It In
order to be able to detect Its first appear
ance. It was described as being very nearly
Identical with the oiange scale bug In Cali
fornia. The subject Introduced a general
discussion of fungus growths and their re
medies. All advocated spraying , chiefly with
whale oil soapsuds. Many reported very
favorable results from epraylng for all kinds
of blight on plants and trees.
A representative of a Minneapolis basket
factory was before the association , with a
proposition to furnish baskets for the grape
growers. He offered to fuinlsh eight-pound
baskets In caiload lots at $21 per 1,000. It
Is estimated that neaily 300,000 baskets will
bo required to market the grape crop In the
Immediate vicinity of Council Bluffs. The
proposition was not accepted , but the asso
ciation agreed to ask foi bids for nt least
200,000 baskets.

Council Bluffs club women and many of
the brightest women In the city have Iden
tified themselves with the various clubs and
are taking a deep Interest In the Transmb-
slsslppl Exposition. The action taken at the
recent meeting In Omaha giving the club
women n chance la keenly appreciated , and
the plan outlined for their work Is looked
upoiv with great favor. The development ol
the club Idea among the women of Council
Bluffs would form an Interesting chapter In
Itself , If there was nothing else to attract
public attention to the club women. A few
years ago the sorosls and the little seml-
axcluslve societies Inslda of the church or
ganizations was as far toward modern club
life as the ordlniry Council Bluffs woman
isplred , Then a few women banded themselves -
selves together and formed a club or two
ivlth various cabalistic and mysterious
lames. Male Interfeicnco was not tolerated
in any dcgiee , and male curiosity received
setbacks when It became too Inquisitive that
jffeetually supprcated It. The clubs were
irganlzed on different bases than the old
: hurch societies and sowing circles were.
Ihelr object was not to help any ot the
icathcns abioad or at home , but all benefits
iveio confined solely to the members. All
irotenses of charity vvero put out of sight
tnd the girls of all ages went In for a Jolly
; oed time socially and mentally. Ono suc-
jeraful club called for the establishment of
mother , until the number has reached a
argo figure at the present time , nnd Coun-
: ll Bluffs can boast of more organizations
> f blight , progresslvs women than any other
: lty In Uie state of Its lira. The clubs cover
i wide range am1 they are all In line with
.ho modem Idcaa of the advancement of
ivomnnhcod , 'Ihcro urn at lenst half a dozen
In de eleclc clubs with members ambitious
iiiough to as > plro to something more than
louBchold dimlBery. shop work or ktenogra-
> hlc positions. With the tralnlig that Coun-
: ll Dlnlfd club women have had and the
teplratlons tiny are Known to have It U
ict promising too- much to nsfure the public

LINCOLN , Teb. C.-Speclal ( Tclegram.- )
Dan 13. Osgcod , a well Known attorney ol
this city , took a < losc of rat poison this
morning with suicidal intent. The attempt
was a falluto , however , and this afternoon
ho vvns taken to Tecumseh under arrest to
nnnuer a serious charge.
On Jnnuiuy 3 MIKe Yorty of Lincoln was
finestid on the charge of having set flro to
the Buffuni mill at Ttcumseh. Ho wag
taken down there and Identified as ha\hiR
come to town from Lincoln In the evening
and having attempted to return on a later
train. Circumslnntlal evidence pointed vcrj
Rtiongly to him as the guilty man and ho
wns bound over to the February term ol
district couit. Since ho has been 'in Jail
Yoity has weakened nnd has , It Is under
stood , made n full conTeialon of his connec
tion with the burning of the mill. Ho ac
cused D. K. Osgood of Lincoln with having
hired him to sot fire to n mill In Tecumseh
nnd jestcrday hs swore out a complaint
against Osgood.
Last evening Sheriff W. H. Woolsey came
lip from Tecumseh and arrested Osgood.
I ho latter was taken to the county jail , but
was not locked up. Sheriff Woolsey Is an
out filend of Osgooil nnd consented to per
mit him to stnv nil night at his ( Osgood's )
home , 212G A sticct. They occupied the
same apartments Imt night. Oagood was
very despondent nnd frequently gave evi
dence of breaking down. On the vvny down
town Osgood became very 111 nnd began vom
iting. Ills condition became very alarming
and the sheriff took him off the car at
Twelfth and N streets nnd up to the cilice
of Dr B. F. Bailey. Hcio ho confessed that
while out at the barn he took a dose of
Hough on lints. For some reason ho was
taken over to the olllce of the county phy
sician , Or. Glffen , where for two hours he
was put tluough a course ot spiouts that en
tirely eliminated the poison from his sjstem
and loft him n vvuak and much bediaggled
looking man. Ho had taken too much
poison , otherwise ho would have been a dead
man. The only explanation he vouchsafed
wns Hint ho could not stand the disgrace of
being taken back to Tecumseh , where ho
had lived so many years , a prisoner1 nccuscd
of a giave cilmo.
Later In the morning Osgood was removed
to the court house , and nt 1 o'clock this
afternoon he was taken by Sheriff Woolsey to
Tecumseh. Ho declnrcs that there Is not
n word of truth In Yortj's charges , ami
before he left he had a confeienco , vih !
Yorty's attorney , W. B. Comstock , and
wanted him to go along.
Osgood came to Lincoln from Tecumseh
Botno five jears ago and has not made much
of n success as a practitioner hard luck
being his portion for quite n while. Ho
was quite prominent In Tecumseh as a poli
tician and was nt one lime a candidate for
the republican nomination for attorney gen-
eial , having n large following from the
southeastern part of the state. The news of
Ills nrrcst and attempted suicide , although
the facts were kept ns quiet as possible owIng - ]
Ing to his pi eminence , created a sensation
and many found It difficult to believe. i
TECUMSEII , Neb , reo C. { Special TeleI I
Giam. ) D. F. Osgood , an attorney of LinJ J
coin and a former resident of Tocutnseh , was
arraigned in county court here this afternoon - i
noon on a charge ot accessorj to arson. He
was placed under a-$2,000 bond to appear
for examination by the district court Feb
ruary 2G. The bond was given. Tecumseh
people are unwilling to believe Osgood guilty
of the- charge brought against him. He com
manded general lespect and confidence and
lias served Johnson county In an official ca
pacity. The charge rests wholly on the
Hatements contained In the confession of
Mike Yorty.
