SELECT LIBRARY ARCHITECTS
fc3oar4 Decides oa a Combination ( a
1 ' Chicago aad a Local
Firm.;'
Ths selection of a firm of architects to
furnish plana and superintend the construc
tions of the Carnegie library building pro
voked a protracted and mora or. lea heated
discussion at. the meeting of the library
board last night Dr. J. H. Cleaver.. At
torney W. 8. Balrd. Judge G. H. Soott, At
torney J. J. Stewart and Mrs. Everett
placed, themselves on record favoring th
appointment of a firm of Chicago architects
to aot'ftv Conjunction with ''a local firm.
Attorney John M. Calvin opposed any such
combination and argued strongly In favor of
appointing exoluaiveiy a local firm. Mr.
Galvin made a motion to the effect that It
be the sense of the board that only a
Council Bluffs firm be selected, but failed
to secure a second. Victor Bender was will
ing to second the motion If the word "only"
omitted, but Mr. Qalvln decided to
abide by his original motion.
By a vote of I to 4 ths firms of Woodward
Bros, of this city and Patton & Miller of
Chicago were selected. Cox Schoentgen
of this city received three of the four votes
and John Latenser of Omaha, one. Ths
election Is subject to the acceptance by the
architects of ths contract, which wilt be
drawn up by the committee, consisting of
Trustees Stewart, Bender and Balrd.
Trustee Qalvln, before a vote was taken
by ballot, urged that the selection of an
architect be made opeuty and above board.
He contended that, the trustees were but
servants of the people and that they ought
not to be afraid to state their position In
this matter publicly. The motion to take
a vote by roll call failed to carry and a
secret ballot waa the method by which the
election was made. The manner la which
the members voted, however, was shown
when a motion to practically reaclnd the
vote and Invite competitive bids from arch
itects to furnish plans and superintend the
construction of the building was made by
Mr. Qalvln and seconded by Mr. Bender,
who opposed the selection of the two firms
named and urged that the board not act
too hastily In ths matter. He called atten
tion to ths fact that the board knew abso
lutely nothing about the Chicago firm, ex
cept what one of Us representatives had
told the board at the time he submitted a
umber of sketches of library buildings.
When a list of new books, selected by the
book committee, waa aubmltted. Trustee
Qalvln objected to the purchase of Bal
nea's works on the grounds of their notor
ious impurity. He took the position that the
board Was to a certain extent the guardian
of the children who patronised the library
and it ought not to place Impure literature
within their reach when It oould be avoided.
The other members did not look at the
qutlon In the same light as Mr. Galvin
and contended that Balaac's works were
standard literature and had a place In every
publle library. The set of Bullae's works
Will be purchaaed and placed on the shelves.
However, the librarian will, at ths request
of the board, use hsr discretion) la furnish
ing these' works to those who may apply
(or them.

TALK OF FRUIT PROSPECTS
Annual Meeting of the Southwestern Iowa
Honloultnral Society.
GRAPE CROP IS REPORTED TO BE SHORT
Apples Arc Met a Fall Crop, bat Prices
Likely to Be Realist Will Make
' the Season a Reraenera
tlve Oae.
The meeting of the Southwestern Iowa
Horticultural society In this city, which
began yesterday and will last over today,
la not the success In point of attendance
that had been anticipated. It Is the first
early fall meeting ever held by the society
and ths experiment, it Is conceded, has
not proven a success, as many of the mem
bers of the society are too busy harvest
ing their fruit crop to leave home.
Owing to the late arrival of several of
ths out-of-town members no formal morn
ing session waa held, and those present
Indulged In an Informal exchange of views
and discussion on crop prospects, prices
and other matters of mutual Interest.
The afternoon session was presided over
by J. H. M. Edwards of Logan, president
Of .the society. Other officers present were
A. F. Collman of Corning, vice president,
and W. M. Bomberger of Harlan, secre
tary. ,
The visitors were extended a welcome
by J. P. Hess, one of the most extensive
fruit growers of this city, following which
came an Interesting discussion of the
grape yield. In which J. P. Hess. George
Alllngham, W. Keellno and Secretary
Bomberger took part. Reports showed
that the grape crop, Instead of being a big
on this year, as stated In the newspa
pers, would only reach 60 per cent of a
full yield.
William Keeilne and others reported that
ths blackberry crop was lees than . an 80
per cent yield this year.
Soma talk of organizing an apple grow
ers' shipping association on similar lines
to the Council Bluffs Grape Growers' Ship
ping association was Indulged In, but noth
ing definite decided upon. Some opposed
the proposition on the grounds that aa the
society drew Us membership from twenty
four counties such an organisation would
be Impracticable.
Apple Growers Proaper.
While the apple (Crop is not an unusually
large one, reports showed that prices are
good and owners of orchards will make
money this year. Several growers, It was
Stated, have been offered 75 cents to 31 per
bushel for their yield on trees without
culling, this offer being for choice apples.
It was said that Indications pointed to
$1.50 a barrel, which was considered a good
price.
F. P. Spencer of Randolph, In an Inter
esting paper on "Disposition of This Apple
Crop," said In parts
The principal polnta to be. considered
when nrenarinar for the disposition of any
thing of general use and consumption are
supply and demand, and here Is where the
Held U necessarily more or less a specula- .
tlve one. If you conclude crop -estimates
are too low, you will be an earl v -seller,
otherwise a possible holder of stock for
rh.:So.pater;hor,ag. feu In my
experience I have found very little trouble
to sell fancy apples, well packed, at re
munerative prices, either when packed or
after having stored for later market.
I think all present will agree with me
that Southwestern Iowa Is short on good
apples and local consumption will absorb
the greater part of them, provided, and
herein lies the whole question, our local
mirhaii are not flooded with stock from
other sections. Taken as a general business
proposition, the producer of any art'.c.s.
unless enjoying special market advantages,
will, In the long run, make as much money
by selling when his stuff is ready and let
the other fellow do the speculating.
An evening session was held, at which
general discussions were had on the grape
and other fruit crops. Today will be de
voted to sight seeing and the visitors will
be driven around the vineyards -end orch
ards In this vicinity. A number of ex
cellent displays of choice apples were to be
seen In the south court room of the
county covrt house, where yesterday's ses
sions wero held. .

(From a 'staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINE8, BepC 15. (Special.) The
superintendents of the various state Insti
tutions met here today for their regular
quarterly conference on matters ot Inter
est to them and to the state. There was
present Drs. Voldeng. Wltte, Crumpacker
and Applegate and Messrs. Horton, Fitz
gerald, McCuna, Rothert Hunter,. Jonee
and Gass.' Rev. Felix Plckworth, chaplain
of the penitentiary at Anamosa, was also
present and read a paper. The superin
tendent' report that the crops on the
state farms this year are generally bettor
than the crops on farms elsewhere In the
same vicinity, that the farming haa been
of a high grade and that the results of
good farming are visible. Last year the
chairman of the state board sent to each
of the Institutions a letter directing that
the seed corn be gathered early and that
It be dried and kept. A test of the seed
last spring showed that this was far su
perior to other seed. In the same way all
the crops were carefully prepared and as
a result the state has set a high mark on
all its state farms. The superintendents
report that more good weather Is needed to
bring the crops to maturity, but generally
thjy are maturing well.
A paper was read by Rev. Felix Pick
worth on "The Prison Chaplain," In which
he pointed out the work that devolves on
the chaplain and the good that he may do
among the prisoners at the state peniten
tiary. D. H. Wylle ot Chicago read a
paper on the disposal of sewage at state
Institutions. Other papers that will be read
before the conference closes will be by
Chairman Cownle of the board and by
Superintendent McCune and Superintendent
Wltte. A committee was appointed to pre
pare a memorial to the late Dr. Powell of
Qlenwood, who has died since retiring from
the state service. -
Will Stay In the Race.
The secretary of state today received the
certificate of nomination of W. N. Larkln
of Butler county as the republican nominee
for state senator In the Bremer-Butler dis
trict. This means that all efforts to get
Larkln to pull out of the race have failed
and that he will stand as a candidate. He
was nominated in a convention in which
another man from the same county had
actually picked a majority of the dele
gates to personally represent him. A few
days ago the delegates called on Larkln
and asked blm to withdraw, aa he had evi
dently obtained hls nomination by fraud
of some kind or betrayal ot a trust. Lar
kln has refused to withdraw and the mat
ter will be fought 'out In the campaign.

EARLY CORN OUT OF DANGER
Weather Borsaa Issues Weekly Crop
Report Ismmisf I'p the
Itaatlon.
WASHINGTON, Sept.- 14. The Weather
bsreau s weekly crop bulletin says:
Except in Iowa, northern Missouri and
eastern Nebraska, where excessive moisture
haa pravented rapid ripening, the corn
cron haa made satisfactory Droa-ress. the
bulk of early planting over the southern
portion of the belt being practically safe
from frost. '
In Iowa, northern Missouri and eastern
Nebraska the advance has been very slow.
and the bulk of the crop over the northwest
portion of the corn belt will require from
two to three weeks of ripening weather.
The northwest portion of the corn belt
haa been threatened with damage from the
recent cold, the freeslng temperatures
occurring In the northern Rocky fountain
districts, having extended as far westward
as the western portion of Dakota and
northwest Nebraska, on the 14th and 15th,
but with the exception of the Dakotaa no
serious Injury haa resulted and the
atmospherlo conditions now Indicate that
the lowest temperatures of the present cold
spell In the extreme northwest have been
reached.
The temperatures will, however, continue
low In Kansas, Nebraska, eastern Colorado,
Wyoming and In the states of the upper
Mississippi valley Tuesday night and slightly
higher Wednesday night, but in the lower
Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys the
temperature promises to be somewhat lower
Thursday night.
Further delays In the threshing of spring
wheat In the spring wheat region east ef
the Rocky mountains have resulted from ex
cessive rains and there has been consider
able damage to wheat In etaok and shock.
Delay in threshing and Injury to grain
are also reported from Washington, Idaho
and Utah. Further deterioration In the
condition of cotton is reported throughout
the cotton .-belt.' Rust la extensive and
quite general complaint is received In the
central and western districts. The greater
part of the cotton Jlt Is now suffering
from drouth.
Complaints of premature dropping of ap
ples are extensive and the general outlook
for this fruit Is not' improved. Favorable
reports are received from southern Kansas
and Iowa.

this work now much behind .the
normal stage of advancement - at this
season of the year.
Corn .has matured rather slowly In south
eastern counties, but has mads more sat
isfactory progress in northern and western '
counties. Some early planted corn ia now
beyond Injury hy frost, but much of the
crop needs two to three weeks of good -
weather. The late planted corn la Just In
the roasting ear stage.
Flowing and seeding have progressed
nicely, with the ground In excellent con

Iowa Crop Conditions.
Bulletin of the Iowa, section of the ell- '
mate and crop service of the Weather bu
reau for the week ending September 14 1
The past week has keen unseasonably
cool, wet aad cloudy. The average tem
perature waa but little below normal, but. ,
the large excess of rainfall and genersv 1
prevalence of cloudiness made It un favor- Ha
able for rapid maturing of crops and farm
Ing operations. Threshing has been de
layed, and grain In shock and stack has, ;
suffered very considerable damage.
Reports Indicate that corn has made some ,
advancement toward maturity, but not ae j
rapidly as seems necessary for the. safety
of the bulk of the crop. Early planted i
corn Is reported to be mostly beyond danger I
of harm by frost In the northeast district,
and in favored localities In the southeast
district; but for the state at large the per
centage of well matured corn is as yet
relatively small. The bulk of the crop
needs two or three weeks of good ripen- j
Ing weather. The conditions have been -
favorable for pasturage, which was never
better at this time of the year. Apples
and potatoes are about as previously re- -i
ported. S
