NO CITY MONEY GOES TO MAKE A SPLURGE Itrqiient ( lint tin Appropriation Ilo Miulr lo 1'ny for nil KIIOHOII | | | Ucnionxtriitloii IN Turned DCMTH Cold Itthe Council. The prospects of Council Bluffs taking a prominent part In the parade and exercises on Iowa day at the exposition arc now of the slimmest and It Is very doubtful It any ' organized effort will be made to get up a i 1 , delegation from this city. The plans that | were maturing for a big turnout and general - i eral participation at the public expense In the exercises on that day have received a 1 setback that has discouraged the committee ) from moving any further In the matter. The city council at a special meeting called by Major Jennings yesterday mornIng - Ing turned down cold and hard the request for an appropriation to defray the expenses for a fitting observation of the state day at the exposition. Money Is needed to fur nish badges and carriages , a band nnd other incidental expenses and as the city council deemed It advisable to refuse to grant such an appropriation the committee had decided that it was practically useless to pursue its plans. George F. Wright , M. F. Rohrcr , A. C. Graham , president of the Council Bluffs ex position association ; Colonel W. F. Baker , chaliman of the County Board of Supervisors ; H. W. Binder , J. P. Hess , Dr. F. S. Thomas of the citizens' committee and other business men appeared before the meeting of the council and urged that It make an appro priation. Alderman Metcalf Introduced n resolution providing for an appropriation of $225 or as much of that amount as would ho necessary to defray the expenses of the city participating in the exercises tomorrow at the exposition. In moving the adoption of the resolution ho was seconded by Alderman Johnson , who , however , on the motion being put , recorded his vote against It as did every alderman except Metcalf. Alderman Casper , the democratic member from .the First ward , was most pronounced In his opposition to the council making any appropriation and was seconded by Alderman Christian. Some of the alder men stated that they were not certain that It would be legal for the council to make an appropriation for such a purpose , but City Attorney Wndsworth advised them that the appropriation could be legally made out of either the police or contingent fund. When It became known that the council had refused to pass an appropriation busi ness men expressed themselves as much sur prised and displeased. Mayor Jennings had Intended Issuing a proclamation calling on the business men of the city to cloeo their stores and offices for at least belt of the day tomorrow , but will not do so now. It now looks very doubtful If Iowa day will be observed as a general holiday In this city and If Council Bluffs is represented In the parade or the exercises at the exposi tion It will bo by the citizens as Indi viduals and not as an organized delegation. IIOAIU ) Ol > ' HIMTATIOX M Scheme Proponed for Adorning .School HOOIIIN i > lH I'lcdn-CH. At the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Education held last night Miss Harriet Blood , supervisor of drawing in the city schools , was granted permission to In augurate a scheme whereby every room In the different schools will In time be adorned with copies of standard pictures. The scheme as outlined by Miss Blood was as follows : The teacher In each room will select some slcture and advance half the pi Ice to the dealer , who has agreed to fur nish them on those terms. The pupils will then contribute one cent apiece each month and from this sum the teacher will pay the dealer the balance on the picture and re cuperate herself for the amount advanced , providing the collection Is sufficient , if not the teacher will be out of pocket. By this means Miss Blood hopes In the course of time to have every school room In the city beautified with works of art Instead of prints and magazine' pictures , with which the walls are now covered. On motion of Member Cooper , seven teachers who had been assigned to schools but had failed to reach the average of So required and whoso contracts had not yet been signed by the board , were given 'an In definite term In which to secure a first- class certificate. The names of the seven were not made public. E. R. Fonda was elected general Janitor. Member Stewart urged that the office bo abolished , but was not supported by the other members of the board. Mr. Fonda formerly served a term as member of the board. The report of Superintendent Hayden for the first week of the new school year showed the enrollment to bo 4,030 , which Is In excess of that at the same time last year. The enrollment nt the dlffercn ? buildings Is as follows : High school , 369 ; Washington Avenue.

In the district court yesterday the trial of the suit of Charles J. Konlgmarher against the Western Mutual Life associa tion of Chicago was commenced before Judge Macy. In this case the plaintiff sues to recover the sum of $75 paid by him on a policy of life Insurance nnd asks for n reclsslon of the contract. Konlg- n-.acher alleges that he was Induced by ono C. J. Wetzcll , an agent of the defendant company , to take out a policy of Insurance for $5,000 under false representations. He alleges that the company was represented to hint by the agent as being on old line concern when in fact It is a Mutual asso ciation. Mrs. Cora B. Knephcr was granted n di vorce from B. F.

The property being purchased In this manner she claims It Is exempt from attachment.

The old weather prophets oj the state are predicting very cold weather this winter. They say it Is certain because the corn shucks are unusually heavy. Tomatoes by the carload are being token dally to the Muscatlno pickle factory. As many as forty wagons may be seen at onetime time drawn up in front of the factory loaded with the luscious fruit. . Farmers around Ogden are having their corn cut with a horse power-cutter , bound and preserved as fodder. This kind of fodder der is very cheap and said to be excellent feed for the average farm ntock. The peach crop lif Henry county Is a won der. None of the farmers of that section have over seen anything like it. The apple crop , however , In that county is not so good , but pears and grapes are as abundant as usual. The corn of western Iowa is much superior this year to the corn of the eastern part of the state. This reverses the sltatlon of the average year , for the corn of eastern Iowa Is ordinarily much better than that of the other parts of the state , One thousand threshing machines arc at work In Woodbury county and still ono- fourth of the wheat still remains In the fields of that county. The flax crop of Woodbury county Is very small this season , little having been planted owing to the fallIng - Ing off In the demand for that article. lonn Xrnii Xolm.

Further more , If his opponents take their contest Into the liotise of bishops and try to defeat his confirmation there , ho Is willing to meet and fight them on that ground. "I know nothing about that letter except what I have seen in the papeis , " said Dr. Green , "but I see no reason why I should take notice of H at any time. The gentle men circulating It are at perfect liberty to do so If they sec lit , but I sec no reason why I should concern myself about the matter In the least. I shall certainly payne no attention to It. " It was suggested to Dr. Green that his oponcnts said If he refused to decline the nomination they would contest his confirma tion before the house of bishops , to which ho replied : "They can If they wish. We will be willIng - Ing to meet them on that ground when the time comes. " Further than this Dr. Oreen refused to enter Into a discussion of the differences his election had stirred up , except when told that his opponents were making various charges ncalnst him. Then ho said : "I wish they would make these charges , whatever they mleht be , openly so that they might bo met. So far as I can find out they have Indulged In nothing but Insinuations and Innuendoes and no direct charges for which any responsible person Is clvcn as authority have been made by anyone. I would gladly welcome specific accusations which I coould meet and dis prove. " At this point Dr. Green was shown what purported to bo a list of the "other charges" which his opponents are discussing. Dr. Green scanned the list and at once called his wife into the room and handed it to her. She took it , and neither made any comment. ICMTII'M Fat stork Inhibit. DES MOINES. Sept. 19. ( Special. ) The live stock exhibit of Iowa Agricultural college - lego at the Transmlsslsslppi Exposition will be very creditable. The college will exhibit a carload of 2- year-old steers. Some of these steers now weigh 1,500 pounds nt twenty-four months of ago , and n part of them are out of Short horn cows , shown in the Illustration ap pearlng upon our first page this week , that have butter records ranging from 300 to100 pounds per year. When this photograph was taken the dairy herd was receiving no feed except grass. Generous pasture an 1 corn fodder properly supplemented by suit able grains and by products of roots In winter constitute the ration the year round. The herd , as the Illustration shows , contains a number of excellent special purpose dairy cows , some of them having records of over 300 pounds of butter per year with no spe cial care or treatment differing fronu.that given the balance of the herd. It will be seen that 'the herd also contains some of the large , broad-backed , deep "double-decker" type , well calculated for beef and milk com bined. The herd Is managed on a practical money-making basis and an examination of the Individual records shows that a majority of the cows have annual net profit accounts ranging from $23 < o $30 per ye.ir. All rows in this herd of any breed that after a fair trial do not measure up to a high standard are culled out and only the better ones re tained. The herd Is headed by superior sires of each breed.
