THE OMATTA DAILY BEE: I'M DAY. XOVEMBKIi 2:. 1901. 1 1 r NEWS OF INTEREST FROM IOWA COUNCIL IWO CANNING FACTORIES Large Concern Organized Which ii Intended to Handle Onlj Corn. -GRAPE GRIWERS ALSO TO START UP ONE Latter Intend Sot Only to Handle r plaa Prod art ( the Viae, bat to Can Other FrnlU and Vegetable. That two canning fin.torles will be In operation In Council Blufla nrxt year ipema now almnut an rnwured fact. One will b controlled by the Grape Grower' Shipping aaaoclatlon, or at leant by the memberg of the organization, while the other will be run by Charles Schmidt, manager of the lactone at Harlan, Avoca. and Mlnden, In onjunctlon with a number of local capi talists. The company In which Mr. Schmidt la In tereeted. It Is said, will be Incorporated with a capital stock of $.V,000. The article of Incorporation of - this company. It is aid, have been signed and will' probably be filed today. With the exception of Mr. Schmidt and one other man, the Incorp orators are all said to be wealthy cltlaens of Council Bluffs. This company will, It Is announced, handle only corn, and Intends to purchase the plant of .the Smith Kenning rompany, which was originally built for and operated ns a canning factory. Tho company, however, proposes to Install new ind modern machinery and to enlarge the plant considerably. In the meantime the Grape Growers' as sociation Is going ahead with Its proposi tion and Is figuring on organising a com pany with $12,010 capital stock. The greuter part of the stock, it Is reported, has been subscribed and the balance Is In sight. This roncern will be operated In conjunction with the other business of the association and Is Intended as a means of disposing of the surplus fruit grown by the members of the organisation. When the Grape Growers' Shipping asso ciation was organised in this city It win 'on a moderate scale and the members favor taking the same course in the or ganisation of a canning factory, then If the business . and returns warrant It, to enlarge the plant. It is the Intention to expend about 14,000 In the construction of the buildings and use the balance of the $12,000 to equip them with modern ma chinery. Ths factory planned will have a capacity of 2,600 cans daily. William Arnd, former county treasurer and a loading member of the Grape Growers' association, 'who Is one of the chief pro moters ot the canning factory proposition, said yesterday: "It Is the plun of the as sociation to start In on a modest scale, as experience has shown that most big can ning factories become too bulky and con sequently are not profitable. We will erect new buildings and Install the most modem machinery. It is the Intention to can not only corn, but fruit, tomutoes and possibly other vegetables. As it looks now, I see no reason why the plant should not be in operation next year. More than half of the capital stock hss already been sub scribed and I believe there will tic not the lightest difficulty- In securing the balance." Plumbing and Heating. Blxby & Son. Dredge Again at . Work. Tho Indian creek dredge, which was tem porarily laid up for repaint, new flues in ths boiler being necessary, has been placed in commlsvlon again and is once more eat ing its way toward the Missouri river.

COOP GAMR I A DIrtTE Referee Rlrea It to ftloas City on D Intra' Refusal to Play. The contest between the Council Bluffs snd flloux City High schools yesterdsy afternoon at Lake Manawa was one of the best games seen on the gridiron In this city In a number of years, but unfortu nately It ended In a dispute and L. Taylor of Sioux City, the referee, awarded the game to the vlpltors. It Is alleged, con trary to the rules. With but ten minutes to play and neither side having scored, Sioux City fumbled the ball and It went out of bounds. Cutler of the Bluffs team threw himself on It and according to the rules of the game the ball belonged to Council Bluffs. Referee Taylor, however, ruled that the ball be longed to Sioux City, despite the protest of t'mplre Cappell, who explained the rule to Taylor. The latter finally admitted that he had made a mistake, but declined to change hl ruling and suggested that the 'captains of the rival teams "flip" to see which should have the ball, t'nder the circumstances the Bluffs boys declined to play further and Referee Taylor awarded the game to Stoux City. The Bluffs boys are naturally not satis fled with the decision of the referee, but do not see that they can do anything under the circumstances. Rule 28, according to "Spalding's Rules of Foot Ball," plainly provides thst In a case like that of yester day th side securing the ball must bring It out and put In play again. But for this unfortunate ending it Is generally conceded that the game, would have finished without either side scoring. From the klckoff to the squabble which brought the play to an end the game was fast and furious) the ball alternating In Council Bluffs and Sioux City territory, neither side apparently having the advan tage of the other. Sioux City kicked off and for the first ten minutes of play Council Bluffs kept the ball well In their opponent's territory. Then Sioux City retaliated and took the pigskin dangerously near to the Bluffs goal line, but the boys succeeded In hold ing the visitors for downs on the three-yard line. The first half ended with the ball on Council Bluffs' twenty-yard line. In the second half Council Bluffs came close to scoring a touchdown by hard work after a long punt by Nichols, but Bloux City managed to hold them off. In this half Fllcklnger of the Bluffs team Injured his shoulder and had to retire, being re placed by Norgaard. When the dispute arose the ball was In Council muffs ter ritory. Nicoll. Redfem and Cutler, the latter making some splend.d tackles, did the star work for the Bluffs team, while Cornell, Sioux City's quarter back, was moHt noticeable among the visitors. The halves were twenty-five minutes. The game was witnessed by 2.000 people, the largest crowd which has turned out to a foot ball game In this city since the Thanksgiving game- between Iowa and Ne braska here several years ago.

WORKSHOP COMPLETED AND OCCUPIED Brown Bank at Sheldon Likely to Pay Depositors In Fall Owing to Efforts of the Former c Owner. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DE8 MOINES, Nov. 24. -(Special. )-The members of the State Board of Control today received information that the new workshop at the State Industrial School for Boys Is now occupied and that the new order of things at that institution is fast being established. The new superintendent. Colonel L. D. Drake, is rnpldly changing the Institution and bringing about reforms in the management. He has got a vast amount of work out of the boys nnd is making many Improvements at the institu tion with the labor of the boy. The chapel has been enlarged so that the pipe organ which Is st the St. Louis exposition In the Iowa building can be Installed. In the workshop has been placed a complete out fit of wood working tools and machinery and a large class of the boys will be given Instruction. There has slso been Installed a complete printing outfit, with large and small presses and all needful fixtures, nnd printing will be done and be taught there. This Is the first complete printing outfit owned by the state, though there have been small outfits at Council Bluffs, Olen wood and Anamosa. The board received word today that the new well at Eldora has struck a fine flow of water and the Are fighting system will soon be Installed there. A fire recently did a few hundred dollars' worth of damage In the buildings, and It Is planned to Install the fire apara tus as soon as possible. The board has employed Charles Williams of Manchester to go to St Louis and su perintend the bringing back from there of the Iowa property, which is placed In the custody of the Board of Control. He hns been superintendent of construction work at the Clarlnda hospital. The building at St. Louis belonging to Iowa will be torn down and the material shipped to state In stitutions, and .all the furniture and fix tures will be made use of st various In stitutions. It Is planned that some of the material shall be given the State Horti cultural society and some of It will go to the State fair. Bank Affairs Uool. It Is learned here that the affairs of the bank at Sheldan In which E. C. Brown, state railroad commissioner, was Interested, are coming out much better than expected; that It is possible the bank will pay all de positors In full and certainly will pay them at least 85 per cent of their holdings. The receiver now has on hand 45 per cent, which he would be glad to distribute but for the fact of suits to decide a preference which lies it all up. Very much of the bank paper which was regarded as doubt ful or worthless has been made good by the activities of Mr. Brown and his friends, and the losses will not be as large as at first reported. County Funds Involved. The recent failure of the Meservcy bank, at Meaervey, Cerro Gordo county, will In volve both the county and tho school fund and may cause embarraasment to some of the county officials. The bank had been clothed with authority to make? collection of taxes,' or rathor to receive tax pay ments In the Immediate vicinity of the town of Meservey, and at the time of the re ceivership the bank hud collected about 12,300 which had not been turned over to the county treasurer. The bank also had school money' to the amount of about $800. The bank was a small one and the busi ness done was such that it will not seri ously affect any outside of the Immediate vicinity. Biennial ! Declined. Returning delegates from the annual Iowa State Epworth League meeting at Oska loosa rejoice over the fact that the league refuted to go to biennial sessions as was desired by some of the members. The convention discussed the matter at length and It win strongly urged that the holding of annual conventions was too expensive. But, on the other hand, the younger mem bers desired that there should be conven tions every year. A referendum was pro posed for submitting the matter to the local leagues and this was rejected. More than 600 delegates attended the meeting. State Forestry Meeting. The annual meeting of the State Forestry association will be in this city, commencing December 13. Among the articles that will be delivered are: "Reforestration for Iowa, and Street Trees for Iowa Towns," by Prof. B. Shlmck of ths State university; "Public Improvements Along Publig High ways," by J. C. Monnet of Iowa City; "Forty Years' Experience in Planting Groves in Iowa." by ex-Governor Lar rabee; "What Can the Rural Schools of Iowa Do to Improve Their Grounds?" by Superintendent R. C. Barret, and a similar paper by Prof. C. R. Scruggle. Hopes for Shlloh Snceess. Governor Cummins returned this morn ing from Washington, where he went for the express purpose of presenting to the acting secretary of war the appeal of the Iowa soldiers on behalf of the Shlloh vet erans for having placed on the Shlloh monuments the proper Inscriptions as to the history of the Iowa regiments. He presented his argument to Secretary Oliver and returns quite confident that he will win for the Iowa soldiers. Followed Iowa Stntute. Stata officials have been discussing the alleged flaw In the biennial elections amendment and have reached the con clusion that there Is not a particle of dan ger of the amendment being declared void for Irregularities. The legislature and the state officials followed the exact and specific wording of the statute of Iowa In tne matter and if the amendment was not properly submitted It Is the fault of the laws under which all matters are sub mitted to the people for their approval. It Is pointed out by state officials that the reference to the constitution Is not in th. amendment proper, but Is In the Introduc tion intreto Bnrllnsjton Mukea Fast Time.

My knee and elbow joints were swollen terribly, and at one time my joints were so swollen and pain ful that I could not close them when opened. I was so bad that I could not move knee or foot. I was getting discour aged, you may be sure, when I began S. S S., but as I saw it was helping me I contin ued it, and to-day I am a sound well man and have never had a return of the disease. S. S.
