TWO WOMEN FOR THE BOARD

Exposition Work
ELECTION ENGENDERS MUCH INTEREST

There were not as many women present
at the meeting In the Hojnl Arcanum liall
jeiterday afternoon as were expected , but
tliDso present took deep Interest In the EC
lection of two Council UlufTs women to rep
resent the city In the Lidy Hoard of Man
a&eirs of the Transmlsjlsslppl Exposition.
There nppeared to be n reluctance on the
part of the Council Uluffs women to take up
the matter , and the Idea seemed to prevail
that the women who were to represent Conn
ell muffs had been previously selected by
the management of the big show , and that
the meeting jcsterday was only for the pur-
po'o of ratlfjliiR what had previously been
done. Those who did attend , however , hail
no such Idea and they ftent Into the fight
for their favorites with great enthusiasm.
Lucius Wells called tbo meeting to order
and stutcl the object. His speech was brlel
ami to the point and he Immediately lett
the- hall after hu concluded Mrs. J. H Heed
wlfo of Judge Uccd , was called to the chair
and Mrs W. 0. Wilt was made sccretaiy.
rarllamciitatj rules were observed up to this
point , but the remainder of the proceedings
wtro carried on In sweet Indifference to al
such restrictions Miss Cora Uvnna moved
that an Informal ballot be taken for nomina
tion of candidates The presiding olllccr as
sented and announced without taking the
trouble to put the motion that the four
\\nmen receiving the largest number of
voles on the Informal ballot should bo con
sidered the candidates and should be votei
for lit the next formal ballot ThH mode ;
ruling saved perhaps a bt of wrangling am' '
tut ofT all the eloquent culoglca that might
have In en expected In nominating speeches
The chair apto ntcd four te Krs to receive and
count tlu secret ballot They were Mrs A
\V. Casady , Mrs Geoigc Carson , Miss Kings-
bury and Mbs Clura Cvans The chair an-
nouKcil that the ballots should be wrlttcr
secretly and placed In a hat and when al1
hail voied the hat should be brought forwan
and deposited on the taWe , after which tht
votes hhould bo counted by the four tellers
Theio was a rustic of perfumed note papers
and a general biting of pencils all over the
houte. The Informal ballot showed that the
women had voted as follows Mrs. J. II
Heed , 5 , Mrs S C Knj , 0 , Mrs James
McCabe , 0 , Mrs. Horaeu Kvorett , C ; Mm
Thomas Melcalf , 4 ; Mrs. George T. I'helps
5 , Mrs W 0Vlrt , 2 , MUs Cora Evans , 2
Mrs Or Thomas , 1 ; Rr Sarah Smith , 1
Miss IVteison , 1 : Mrs. Montgomciv , 1 ; Mrs
A , W Cabidj , 1 ; Mrs J i : Hnrkness , 1.
It only requited ono formal ballot to de-
teimlno which two of the four receiving tht
laigcst number of votes were the choice o :
the meeting The counting showed that Mrs
Keed had received foitone votes , Mrs. Kei
20 , Mis. McCdbo 18 and Mrs Phelns 5.
Mis. Iteecl made a pretty little speech
thanking the women for thcdr handsome vote
of confidence The women then arose to
lca\o the hall without the formality of ai
adjournment , until Mrs Harkncss called at
tention to the oversight and suggested that
the selection of Mrs Heed and Mrs Key he
made unanimous. A motion to that effect
was accordingly put and carried without a
dissenting volee. The adjournment was ther
niado in regular parliamentary form.
Among the clubs represented were the
Hveiy Thursday club , the Ideal club , the
Woman's club , the World's Parliament club
the Review club , the Oakland Avenue Ilcad-
Ing club , the Progress and the Onward clubs
The women selected nro eminently flttei
for the duties they will bo called upon to
discharge Mrs Keeil Is a thorough business
woman and before her marilage to Judge
Heed , who occupies the bench In the Unltei
States couit of appeals , was the preslden
and cashier of a ban ! : . She la bright and
winsome and has a liappr faculty of dealing
with large undertakings solving quickly
and -without jar perplexing problems Mrs
Key Is one of the beit known women In Coun
cil lihifTs .mil H also a business woman. The
two will ably represent the women of the
city In the board of Ladv Managers of the
cxpcsltlon , and they will albo help to make
the great show a success.

The largest gathering of fruit growers In
the history of the Pottawattanile Grape
U row era * and Shippers' association convenou
jcsterday afternoon , lleports of the officers
showed that It was In excellent condition and
Included In Its membership ncarlj all of the
Growers and shippers In the immediate

There ] had been received Into the fund from
other sources , ? 3GO.
The unsatisfactory character of the grape
crop for the past two jcara , and the still
more unsatisfactory market , were themes
for general discussion. The members In
dulged In an Interesting discussion also con
cerning the methods of harvesting the grape
crap. The discussion was brought on by
the complaints of some of the me nb ra that
their fine fruit , packed In flrst-i-la s man
ner , was made the means of selling the In
ferior product of others packed In a careless
way , and they deimnded a uniformitj of the
pack. Various plans for Inspection were
suggettedT but all were more or less ob
jectionable Several of die membeis an
nounced their Intention of abandoning the
system of vineyard packing entirely , and
adopt the table plan Tlio longei the da- !
cusslon was continued the moro favora'jly
the members looked upon table packing ,
and the heaviest shlppcis and growers p.ac-
tlcally announced their determination to
adopt the plan thls > year A tnajoil'v of
them favored letting the grapes wilt from
twelve to twenty-four hours , and paying the
pickets by the 100-poundo and then employ
expert packers at the tables In the sheds
Alderman Casper , one of the pioneer fiult
men. I ] was called for , anJ began a vvaim
speech In favor of a strong declara'lon fet a
manufacturing clause In the bta'e liquor
law by bluntly asking'
"What will jou do with ( ho giapes that
are not fit to go Into the bislcc's ? "
"Rat them ourselves or throw them away , "
lo&pomled a member.
"It's the duty of pvery member of this
ossoclatlon , telf-lnterest and the Interest of
all , demand that wo shall de.il no here to
day for a modification of the law , " continued
Casper "Hvery packer and picker fchoull
have two baskets , one for the fine frui * and
the other for the Infcrloi ; one lo go Into the
markets an 1 the other Into the winery You
will thus get a reputation for filling only
the best grapes , and at the amo time get
big pay for a largs part of your | roduct ,

President Hess declared himself wairnly In
favor of the proposed clniiRe In the law , but
doubted the wisdom or utility of in iking a
new appeal to the legislature1 Other mem
bers felt the same way , and the resolutions
that had been prepared , were not pioss.iteil
After opening bids for fruit baskets nnd

laturu was the opening of a fight to do awaj
with t ie elementary woman suffrage that
the btate now allows Three jears ago n
law was passed providing that women might
vote at hchool and city elections In which
l&surs of bonds were Involved. At the time
there was cprobitlon on the ground of un
constitutionality , but the law was in wed
Since then several cases have grown out ol
It , but none have i cached the supreme court
Today when this hectlon was reached In
code revision vvoik In the tenate I'us ° y de
clared that the soctlon should not be en
acted again. He called attention to the re
port ot the code commissioners , who ex
pressed the belief that the act was uncon
stitutional , but had codified It because It
wcs already In the laws Pusej asked that
the matter be cont-dered next week and It
went over. Ho explained that all the legal
autliorltleH agree tie measure Is contnry
to the constitution and quoted eminent nu-
thorltlco. Tbo matter will cauto a fight , as
the suffragists arc already armed for the
fltrugglo to save their only vestige of bal
lot rights.
