Judge William Cowles James died yester
day afternoon at his home , SIC Third avenue ,
nfter a few days' Illness , of heart failure ,
nged 69 years. Ho leaves n wife and two
daughters , both married. The funeral will
bo held Wednesday from St. Paul's Epis
copal church , the hour of which has not yet
been named.
The death of Judge James removes ono
more of the few remaining pioneer residents
ot this city. For years ho was one of thfl
most prominent figures In the political and
Boelal life of Council Bluffs nnd wns prob-
nbly one of the best known men In this
part of the state. He was 'born ' In Brown-
helm. O. . January 1. 1S30 , his father being
Guorge F. James , who received a military
education nt West Point. At an early ago
hobecame a student nt Oberlln college ,
from 'which In duo tlmo ho graduated. Ho
studied law In Cleveland , where ho was ad
mitted to the bar , nnd came to Council 1
Bluffs In 1852. Ho always took great pride
In relating how ho arrived In this city ,
without a dollar to his name , having spent
his last quarter at Sliver Creek stage sta
tion for lodging. The first money ho earned
In Council Bluffs was $1 for cutting a load
of wood for the late Dr. P. J. MoMnhon.
In the summer of 1S53 he turned his hand
to bricklaying , the practice of law at that
time not ( being a very profitable onu , nnd
hullt the first 'brick ' house In the city. From
that data Ills energlra prospered him , and
In IRBfi ho. erected I ho three-story block
known us thp James block at the southeast
corner of Broadway and Main street. . He
also nhnut this time Invested largely In
farm lands , ' and James township In this
county was named after him. In the fall
of 185G ho was elected couuty judge on the
democratic ticket. As county Judge ho was
financial agent of the county at that time ,
there being no board of county supervisors.
Ho nUo had jurisdiction In probate matters.
Ho served in the city council in 1858 and
ISr , " nnd again In 1S72. Ifi7l : , 1S74 , JS70 and
1S79 , He was elected mayor In 1S74 and
1SSO.
In 1S72 hn wns nominated by the state
democratic convention as candidate for ,
state treasurer , and In 1S77 his party nomi
nated him for lieutenant governor. At dif
ferent times he was asiioiMatrd in the law
business with Judge Aylesworth. Judge J.
It. Rt-ed and W. A. Mynsler. At the tlmo
ot hU dentil he was engaged In the real
rotate and Insurance business , being the
senior member of the firui of James & Snpp.
Ho was married September 3. 1S85 , to Miss
Anne Van Arnam at Dlxon , 111.
Judge James , oven up to the tlmo of his
death , was u man of most Imposing presence ,
nnd In hlu younger days was considered
onu of , If not the most Tinndsomo man
In the statu of Iowa. Ho was over * > lx feet
In height , straight as an arrow , with black
hair and beard , whleh earned him the sou
briquet of "Blackhawk. " Ills death removes
ono of the most familiar and picturesque
characters from the city.

The rector , Hev. George Edward Wnlk ,

"But for this morning , and nil for which
It HtnndH , this question would have no an
swer. And yet , It Is the qucBtlon of ques-
tlonn. What Is any other question In com
parison ? Were there no certain answer to
It , how poor , how vain , how empty , ho > , v
abject would this world be ? nut today wo
stand , not beside a sealed sepulchre , but an
open and despoiled grave. You who are fa
miliar with your bibles recognize this as the
question propounded by the woman , who ,
on tJio first 'Easter ' morning , were early to
the sepulchre In order that they might
anoint with precious unguents and perfume
the warred body of their dead friend , Jesus
of Nazareth. They kntiw that a great stone
had been placed before the door of the
nepulchre , but they did not know tbat
Caesar's signet ( had been placed upon It ;
nor did they know that a guard of Komnn
legionaries had 'boen ' set to keep watch over
the dead Christ.
"Hut marvel of marvels. They found when
they ranched the 'hallowed ' t pot what love
nlwaj-B finds when It takes spice * and preci
ous perfumes In Its hands and visits the
grave of Jesus ; they found that the stonu
had 'be-on ' rolled away. And so today , let us
all with grateful hearts talcs the rich per
fume of love iind loyalty ot faith nd consecration
cration , not to n pealed sepulchre , but to an
empty grave , confident that wo shall meet
our risen Lord on the way.
"But let us for a moment consider the
personal Interest which we have In this
question. There is not a soul here , this
blessed Easter morning , who has not or who
will not at some tlmo have a spot of ground
facred above all other places on the earth.
In thlH world we have kingdoms , republics ,
oligarchies , patricians and plebeians , but all
allko are hastening to a common democracy
the democracy of deaWi. But we may be
resigned to death , > wo may even be thankful
for It , provided only that behind and be
yond It tihere lies the greater democracy of
life. And of the certainty of this greater
democracy of life that for which Easter' '
stands is an eternal attestation. We can
well endure the winter of death , provided
we are assured that behind and beyond it
there will come rosy-lrpped and fairy-footed
spring. Wo may well endure to have the
stone rolled against the door of the grave ,
provided that in Ood's good time It shall be ,
rolled away again. 'And ' the opening of the ,
grave of Jcsu * means the opening oif all
other graves. For the hope cf the resur-
rectlon we are Indebted solely to the Lord
Jesus Christ. We have no other assurance.
Wo need no other.
VApnrt from the resurrection of Christ the
doctrine of a future life is at best -but a
dim guess. Nature does not teach the doc
trine , at leaut If she doca she has not yet
found an Interpreter of her great secret.
Nor can we gain help or hope from the re .
searches of science. Science hns failed to ,
roll away the stone from the sepulchre door
of our dead. Olvo the scientist life and he
r can do anything ; give him death nnd he
stands with dust In his hands. In the pres
ence rf this , the greatest of all problems ,
he IB helpless as a clod of dirt. And what
have skepticism , doubt ami unbelief done
toward rolling away the stone from the
sepulchre ? Nothing , absolutely nothing.
They Inveigh against our 'hope ' nnd then
meet us at the graveside with only ashes and
despair. I have not read a single line or
word from these eourcfB that has power
to hush a sigh of any human soul.
"Hut the power that rolled the stone
from the grave of Jesus can roll the stoned
from all other graves. The resurrection of
Christ settles forever the question of the in
destructibility of the human spirit. It also
settles the question as to whether the body
shall live after death. As certainly as that
Jesus Christ arose frc-m the dead , KO cer
tainly shall the grave disgorge every bright 1
Jciwel which it holds. The hope of the
resurrection takit * fear out of the heart ,
Invest. ) life with supreme joy and takes
every pans out of death except that of partIng -
Ing for a Ilttlo while. "

A one-legged man , giving the name ot
William .Morris Fisher , Is behind the bars
at the city Jail , charged with obtaining '
money under false ( iretenses.
Flahcr struck Council Bluffs last Tuesday
and ho at once set to work and ovolvcd a
scheme whereby he expect d to pet rich by
working on the sympathies of the good people
ple j of the city. Ho circulated a petition
In i which he gave his address as 140 Vine
street , and claimed to bo a brother of
William 13. Fisher , a well-known printer. i
He wanted money to purchase nn artificial | !
limb to replace the one ho had lost by ! i
being Injured In a railway accident. ' To :
some of those to whom he applied for money
ho represented thnt he was formerly In the
employ of Keys Brothers ot thla city. Ho
wns well dreseed and a smooth talker , and
managed to "touch" the sympathetic people
for , nearly $30 before It was discovered ho
was a fake.
Saturday morning he solicited among the
offices In the county court house , and County
Treasurer Arnd nnd nearly every county
officer and employe contributed to the fund
to buy a new leg. He struck a snag , how
ever , when he approached J. U. Dietrich ,
clerk of the superior court. He commenced
telling Dietrich a long story about how ho
was W. U. Fisher's brother , nnd how he
managed to lose his limb , but It happened
that Dietrich was aware that Fisher had
only one brother , who was still in possession
of both his legs. He telephoned to Fisher
and the latter at once hurried to the court
house and confronted the Impostor. Then
the one-legged beggar admitted practically
thnt he was a fniud. The police wore noti
fied , and he was arrested. Papers In his
possession showed that ho had succeeded in
collecting nearly $30. but when searched at
the Jail only J3.BO wns found on him. This
wns what he hud collected at the court
house. He told the police n number of dif
ferent stories , saying at one time his home
was In Lincoln , and at another that he
lived in Omaha.

HAVANA , April 2. Today , as under the
Spanish regime , bribery nnd fraud direct
the Cuban courts. Ttils Is the firm convic
tion of the military administration. Gov '
ernor General llrouko Is taking the matter
up and Intends to clean out the corruption.
to | revise the Judicial procedure , to change
the court personnel and to abolish the bnr-
barous practice of Incommunicado by which
a Judge may Imprison for life a person IE-
norant of the accusation against him and
of the names of his accusers.
It Is true that the statutes allow only
three days' detention Incommunicado , but
n , Judge under the practice that lias grown
up \ may nmko a new commitment at the cx-
plratlon : of the third day , another at the
expiration , of the sixth nnd so on without
limit.

General Maximo Gomez , In n long letter
directed to his wlfo In Snnto Domingo , re
views his differences with the so-called mil
itary assembly. He begins by describing
the situation as It was when Robert I' .
Porter , as ttie special representative of Pres
ident McKInley visited Cuba after the as
sembly's representatives at Washington had
obtained a promise of $3,000,000 from the
president. The writer eays :
"This action on the part of the assembly's
committee I approved. It was then that Mr.
Porter appeared and asked mo as com-
irander-lu-chlef to decide to accept the
$3,000,000 , to aid In Its distribution and in
the disarming of the army and to proceed
forthwith Havana to assist the United
i States military governor. General nrookc. I
agreed , nnd on arriving at Havana I con
ferred with General Brooke concerning the
payment and the disarmament. It was de
cided that General Brooke should request
\Vaflitngton to ship to Cuba the $3.000,000
which had been obtained by the representa
tives of the assembly. I saw to the adjust
ment of all questions that led up to the
termination of the ridiculous armed situa
tion nnd began to entertain hopes of an
early return to Santo Domingo.
roily of AxNcinlily.
"The assembly then called upon me to
visit Us president , saying that the object
sought was an unofficial exchange of Ideas.
But they placed mo upon the bench of the
accused , my crime being that I was Inclined
to accept the $3,000,000 which the assembly
Itself , through Us representatives , had In
duced President McKInley to promise , a
matter as to which I had not been con
sulted. It appeared that I had broken off
negotiations for $13,000,000. To all this I
replied that I had acted In the best faith ,
but that nothing had been lost , as I would
withdraw the acceptance I had given. They
then requested me to array myself on their
side , in order to give strength to their
I resolutions. I answered that I had nlwnyn
I done so and would continue so to do , except
in cases where the course erf the assembly
was opposed to my conscience , to my eense
of Justice and to my Idea of the best in
terests of Cuba.
"Regarding the matters under considera
tion , 'I ' said I had no hope of obtaining more
than the $3,000,000 from the United States
and disapproved asking charity , contending
that the only method left was to raise a
loan , for which the assembly lacked ade
quate authorization , rurthermore , I pointed
out that the soldiers could not wait , that
already they were too great a burden upon
the people of Cuba nnd that longer delay
appeared to me to bo cruel.
Ijoiin IN I'rojeeteil.
"Tho conference ended without accom
plishing anything. I saw I could not make
myself understood by the assembly nnd de
cided not to be mixed up In Its doings , butte
to await developments. iA few days later
three men whom I did not know visited rae
nnd said that several millionaires stood
ready to facilitate a loan of many millions ,
hut thnt the. matter was possible only -with
my co-operation. I answered that I could
not consider any proposition of the kind
nnd regarded it as strange if anyone would
bo ready to lend money without a guaranty.
My Visitors roplled that the city council
could arrange a guaranty. Then a commit
tee of the assembly approached me , asking
mo to support the assembly's efforts to
raise n loan. To this 1 replied that Cuba
could not make a loan ns It lacked the au
thority. The next day the assembly do-posed
me. I consider tliat I have acted honorably
and my strongest deslro now Is to return
home. "

WASHINGTON , April Z. The opinion Is
expressed In official circled here th\t : the
outlook for n satisfactory and peaceful flmtl
adjustment of Snnionn affairs Is decidedly j
hopeful. The statement wits made today In
a well Informed quarter that It Is altogether
[ ' lively tliat the joint high commission , by
] i virtue of the plenary powers vcstcil In Its Individual -
dividual membership , will be able to con- J
clwlo n srttloinr-nt of the Snmonu question ,
satisfactory to nil the powers concernra nnd .
that there Is such an understanding between ,
the three powers as almost certainly will I
prevent any disagreement such as would
mnko It necessary to ask King Oscar of
Sweden nml Norway to net ns umpire ,
The peaceful solution of this delicate
question , full of possibilities of serious trou
bles , Is regarded ns a triumph of diplomacy
nnd as furnishing the strongest llnd of evi
dence of ft desire on the part of Germany
ns well as of the other two powers , to maln-
tain the most amicable relationships.
