The Orapo Growers' association met yes
terday to hear the report of the special
committee appointed to ascertain the prac
ticability of organizing a company among
the growers to operate the canning factory.
Thb committee consisted of Secretary Williams
liamsJ. . P. Hess and William Arnd. A
conference was reported with Mr. Haas ,
the chief owner of the plant , who submitted
a proposition to take $1,000 for the ma
chinery In the plant and lease the buildings
OHO year for $1,000. The effort to secure
n sufficient number of members willing to
form a company had failed , and the question
of the association taking hold of the scheme
was discussed. A resolution was adopted

favorable to donating at least a carload of
the beat product ot the Pottawattamlo vine
yards for that purpose.
The question ot making contracts for bas
kets and boxes for the coming year was
given a good deal of consideration. The
association had called for bids and four
manufacturers responded. Their bids were
all exactly alike , and was the exact price
paid by the association last year. Another

of the IHxtrlut
Court ,
The TUr association met In the office of A.
T. Fllcklngcr yesterday afternoon for the pur-
posc of considering the action to be taken In
the matter of securing the abolishment of the
Avoca branch of theulstrlct court. The
committee appointed at the meeting held In
the court lioube to draft a petition for circu
lation In the eastern end of the county sub
mitted a form that was not altogether what
was desired by the association. The commit
ted designed that the petition should bo
circulated all over the eastern end of the
county , from n line cast of range 40 , Which
constitutes the dividing line of the territory
of the two courts. The members of the bar
present felt that the petition should bo made
separate for each of the cast end townships
and this was agreed to. It was decided to
ascertain the feeling of the prominent people
in thu east end before sending out the peti
tions and the secretary was Instructed to
write letters for that purpose.
Expressions have been received from all
of the attorneys In the Avoca district with
the exception of two , and they all announce
their willingness to sec the court abolished.
One of the most prominent lawyers In the
cast end wrote yesterday that ho Indorsed
the lesolutlon of the bar and stated that he
would bo In the city on Monday for the pur
pose of assisting In any action that might
be taken by the .Bar association In Inducing
110 legislature to repeal the act constituting
the separate court. The matter of the utility
of the court and Its cost to the county was
discussed to some extent and the fact made
more prominent that the branch court was a
useless .and expensive luxury.
? ° " ? t AU ° r"iy ( Mn hwa has agreed to
fmnlsli , . the association
on Monday a detailed
statement of the cost of maintaining the
court since Its establishment and the amount
or business that has been transacted. The
association will hold a meeting on Monday
and read the letters that arc expected to be
received -from east end people who are in
favor of doing away with the. court.

The Students'Atlr'.etlc association of the
Nebraska Stale university appeared In the
district court yesterday as Intervcnor In the
attachment suit , whereby Frank Crawford
in endeavoring to secure a largo share of the
proceeds of the foot ball game of last
Thanksgiving. Crawford claimed that _ the
Nebraska team owed him ? 155 for services
as coach during the season of 1S93 , and he
attached the gate receipts at the Field Club
park while the game was on. The sheriff
took possession of $250 of the money and
has stnco been holding It. The Field club
Intervened several weeks ago on the ground
that the money belonged to It , but when
the case came up for hearing the members
of the Council Bluffs organization were unable -
blo to sustain their claim and the costs
were taxed against them. The Nebraska
organization now comes In with a new and
strong claim that attorneys believe will
prevent Mr. Crawford from getting any of
the money. Thn petition states that the
Students' Athletic association was organized
In November , 1695 , and that the organiza
tion did not go Into effect until April , 1890.
It states that It contracted to play the foot
ball game at Council Bluffs and was to ro-
celvo one-half of the proceeds after all ex
penses had been paid ; ( dot tlio net share
of each of the university clubs was $250 , and
that the Iowa team has been paid Its portion
tion , and that the portion of the Nebraska
team Is wrongfully held under the attach
ment of Crawford for alleged services fur
nished another and separata organization
ami that the attachment does not run
against the Intervenors.

DE3 MOINES , Jan. 15. ( Special Tel (
gram. ) The rival randldaiis for the roput
llcan nomination for mayor today eubmlttv
their platforms to the public. Mayor Job
MacVIcar comes out on a platform In whlc
ho reiterates his Jormur declarations In fa
vor of municipal ownership of public utll !
ties. Ho says : ' Mui'lclp.tl ownership ha
now become so popular thai Its opponent
no longer fight In the open. Their only hop
Is to retard , curtail ami cripple It , and thl
they aim to do by riding Into power on th
wave of sentiment in favor of It. Wearln
the cloak of the tiimltuint principle they as'
you to Bupport them that they irny rob yo
of a part of the frul's of your hard earne
victories. It Is not necessary to nrguo upoi
the DCS Molnes public Iho bcneflu of munlcl
pal ownership. Your taxes , still high , hav
been considerably reduced as a result of i
partial application of the principle. At th
same time you nro accumulating funds will
which to extend Its application. You ar
paying ICES for water and for llglus , nm
have an excellent mutual telephone scrvlci
at half of the former rates. Further licno
Ills In these directions await your advanci
to now conquest , ? iJor municipal ownership. '
Mayor MacVlcar's opponent , John Sherman
man , who Is supported by all the Interest
which have opposed MacVIcar and Is ro
gardcd as the corporation candidate , never
thelcss comes out on n platform declnrlni
for municipal ownership. Ho says It is tlv
settled policy for DM Molnes , and no longe
an Issue. Ho urges the gieatest caution li
keeping the officials of municipal utilities
after the latter have become the proper ! ;
of the city , from absorbing too much po
lltlcal power. Ho declares in favor of al
lowing mayors to hold ofiico only one torn
and wants the state laws amended to thli
effect. Ho oppoaes the collection of a pol
tax and demands the repeal of city ordl
nances which now require It.
TELEPHONE FIGHT.
The telephone fight here Is getting critical
Thc Mutual company , which opened Its cx >
change four months ago , has a much largei
list than the old Bell company. Thc lattel
has cut rates so that Instruments which for
merly cost $3 per mouth are furnished for $1
and In cases where they are ordered oul
the company falls to remove them , allowing
thorn to remain and giving service frei
rather than cut down the list.
A large number .of these cases are re
ported , and the Mutual company prints a
circular with a long list of them. H calls on
the public to Insist that Bell 'phones be
taken out when ordered out anJ offers tc
send Its own employes to remove them when
the Bell company falls to do so. The Mutual
people have In fact removed a number o !
'Boll ' Instruments , and the 'Boll ' officials an
nounce that they will prosecute the Mutuals
If this Is done again.
Tie Mutual circular says that the Bell
monopoly has money enough to keep up a
losing fight Indefinitely , and that so long as
It has enough Instruments on its exchange to
furnish anything Ilko fair service , H will
keep up the fight against legitimate enter
prise.
wixs HO.NOK.S wrrn A CAMUHA.
Worlc of n riilciiKO Woiiiini Which
Took I'lr.st Prize in lli'Nliin.
Another of blue-blooded Boston's pet tra
ditions , reports the Chicago Tribune , has
been ba ly shattered at the hands of a Cbl-
cagoan. This time It Is a woman , Mrs. S. S.
Beman , who has taught the residents of the
effete cast a lesson In progress. Strange to
say , she Invaded the learned Hub along the
lines of Its greatest specialty art , and came
out decisively victorious. In a photographic
art competition , arranged and licld In Bos
ton , and with Bcston men for Judges , the
work of the Chicago woman was selected as
being the most excellent among nearly 5,000
competitive exhibits.
This photographic competition was recently
held by the Youth's Companion magazine.
H was originally started In a quiet manner
far a prize of $100 , and allowed considerable
latitude to the contestants , both in the selec
tion of subjects and manner of handling. But
the enormous number of competitors , who
sent samples of their work from all ever the
United States , soon gave It a national Im
portance , and made It one of the amateur
events of the year. Wl'en the entries doped
It was found that 4.702 aeparate sets of pho
tographs hal been received , and that the general -
oral standard cf the work was much higher
th&n that In any other similar event.
The Judges confessed that the task was
one of the most difficult they liad ever been
called upon to undertake , on account of the
unusual number of high-grade exhibits. Ac
cording to the terms of the contest no ono
picture was to have" a precedence , but each
exhibit was to bo Judged as a whole. As the
number of photographs sent by any one com
petitor was not limited this made an in
creased amount of labor for the officials.
After a month's sorting , selecting and elim
inating of the poorer samples of work the
judges finally showed their falr-mlndedncss
by choosing an exhibit ) from out cf town , that
sent by 'Mrs. 'Beman. ' Not only did the com
mittee glvo the Chicago expert the first
prize of $100 ; they also commended her work
as being of unusually artistic excellence.
Incidentally they stated tbat they wcro
highly gratified at the wonderful progress In
amateur photography.
This award puts iMrs. iBeman at a bound
In the foremost rank of amateur photogra
phers In the United States. There are two or
Ihree camera experts of national reputation
who were not represented In the competition ,
mul against whom Mrs. 'Ben'aii h.ns not yet
had a chance to try her ski ! ! . Hut aside
from them the best talent throughout the
[ nuntry was enlisted In the contest and Mrs.
Boman dcc'ared the winner. She has al
ready planned to go Into other fields with her
work , and U sighing now for new worlds to
conquer.
Mr. . ' . Beman U the wife of the Chicago
architect who laid out the town of Pullman.
It wjs not at all on her husband'ii reputation
In the cacit that her triumph was secured ,
however , for the carefully enterol her work
under the nome of .Mary H. Beman to avcld
the chance , Her husband looked on the matter -
tor as a good Joke , without the faintest like
lihood of anything coming of the effort.
After the notification of 'Iho ' committee's
finding 'had reached Chicago Mrs. Beman
wrote to ISoitcu at once and had the name
on her exhibit changed , and the formal
awnrd madi ) to her as Mm. S. S. Beman.
The remarkf'jlo part of Mrs. Bcman's
rc"ont accomplishment IT the rapidity with
whl'.Si nhe has risen ao n photographic
star. It Is not yet two yearn since she took
her first picture , and neither her knowl-
rdgo of technical methods or her apparatus
to do the work are commensurate yet with
the amount of her accomplishment. But
eomliiK from an artistic family , and living
lu an art atmosphere , she put her own early
Inrtructlon as an artist Into the composition
of the pictures aha made and won cxcellunco
more through this feature of her work than
liy virtue of technical cleverness In execu
tion.

of the amateur photographers.
"I am firmly of the belief that the tlmi
