Lawyers Who Aw Willing to Succeed Judge
Deeraer Coming Forward.
FOUR WHO ARE ALREADY ANNOUNCED
Newly Appointed Supreme Judge Will
Clou ; t'p IIU District AfTulm nt Once
l'rriiimjor.y ] to IZnlcrlni ; Upon
IIU Higher Dulles.
The appointment of Hon. H. E. Deomer
to a position on the supreme bench leaves a
vacancy on the bench of this district , which
will be filled by the governor's appointment.
Since Judge Decmer was first mentioned as
a supreme bench possibility a number of
attorneys of the district have been quietly
laying traps to capture his place In case of
his promotion. Now that It Is no longer a
matter of doubt , they have boldly shied their
castors Into the ring nnd arc now watting for
developments. Their names are : W. R.
Green of Audubon county , J. li. Rockafcltow
of Caas , W. S. Louis of .Mills and T. C.
Clark of Pago.
There Is a possibility that the change may
result In some Inconvenience to attorneys
and litigants In Potawattamle county. Judge
Dcemcr's appointment takes effect at once
and he will take up the duties of his new
position a week from Monday , when the
May term opens. He has been holding court
In this city for several weeks past and con
sequently has had under advisement a num
ber of cases and motions which ore ns yet
undecided. If they are not decided by him
they will have to be re-tried , and , In that
event , the expense of the additional trial
will be saddled upon the litigants. In order
to do away with this difficulty , however ,
Judge Decmer has decided not to take up
the trial of any more new cases , but will de
vote the next two weeks to deciding the
cases already submitted.
Judge Dcemer's term of ofllce , as well as
that of his successor on the district bench ,
lasts only until next fall's election , so that
neither of them will be able to read his
tltlo absolutely clear until after he has
secured the nomination and election. Pos
session Is nine points In the law , however ,
nnd It will prove a great aid ip securing the
nomination. Whoever gets the nomination
for supreme court next fall , whether It be
Deemer or some one else , will only have a
term of two years , that decision having
beeen arrived at In order that only one
Judge may be elected In one year. After
the first short term has been passed the
term will be six years , as In the case of the
Judges now on the bench.
Judge Deemer discharged the jury yester
day for two weeks. On Monday , May II ,
the work of the term will be resumed , and
one of the other Judges , probably Judge
Smith , will bo on hand to try cases.
In conversation yesterday afternoon Judge
Deemer said : "I am naturally glad to hear
the news of my appointment , and I owe a
debt of gratitude to the members of the
Pottawattamle county bar nnd the press for
the cordial support they have given me.
Still , I regret having to leave the district
bench and my friends here , where my rela
tions have always been so pleasant. "

Spirited Meeting of WorkliiRincn nt
Dolimo'H Old Opera House'
The second meeting of worklngmen to de
vise ways of Improving their financial con
dition was held In Dohany's old opera house
last evening. President J. C. DeHavcn pre
sided. Among those who spoke were Rev. J.
G. G. Lemen , H. II. Field , Mayor Cleaver ,
Henry Cokcr and John Ahles. The plan sug
gested was that the city and county offi
cials be called upon to furnish work
by putting In first-class condition the
roads all through Pottawattamle county ,
as well as by grading and paving the
streets of the city where , such Improvements
might be needed. This. It was said , would
put several thousand dollars Into circulation ,
and the statement was met with applause.
Mayor Cleaver said that all Improvements
that might be made would have to be paid
for by the people , and while one element of
the people was present , that which had noth
ing , there was another element , the small
taxpayers , that was not present , and these
taxpayers would oppose any Increase In their
taxation. Ho was In favor of making Im
provements In the county roads and sympa
thized with those present In their efforts to
get work.
Henry Coker also made some remarks
that did not go down without a few
grimaces. "While I do not wish to make
any reflection on those who are here , " said
he. "I will say this : Don't take $2 for
your vote when election comes around and
then complain because the city Is badly
governed. " Several men rose and left the
hall. He then went Into figures to show
that It a man put $10 In the bank every
month for thirty years he would have | 50-
000 at the end of that time.
"How arc we going to get the $10 ? " nsked
one of his hearers. Several more questions
were fired nt him , and at last George
Holmes capped the climax of the confusion
by making some back talk at Coker. Cries
of-"slt down" were heard all over the house ,
and although Mr. Coker did not1 know
whether the order was Intended for himself
or for Holmes , he gave Holmes the benefit
of the doubt and sat down.
C. L. Gillette moved that a committee be
appointed to wait on the council and super
visors and Inform them that the sense of
the meeting was that city and county Im
provements should bo made for the purpose
of giving the laborers work. The motion
was carried.
John Ahlcs , W. F. Patton and the Dis
turbing Element next held the floor Jointly.
Ahles made a red hot speech In which ho
roasted the High school cadets , teachers ,
meat Inspector and everybody else that had
a job that was netting' him more than $35
per month , and finally backed his remarks
up with a resolution advocating strict re
trenchment In city and school board busi
ness , the reduction of the salaries of school
teachers and superintendent by the whole
sale , and the abolition ot the higher classes
In the High school In order that the amount
thus saved might be used In giving employ
ment to the worklngmen. H. N. Whlttlesey
pointed out that all these teachers were
working under contracts and the meeting
was wasting time by talking about cutting
down tliilr salaries.
W. C. Boyer made one of the very few
sensible speeches of the evening. He op
posed the resolution , on the ground that It
would throw men out of employment and
cut down salaries , while the avowed Inten
tion ot those holding the meeting was to
find salaries and employment for those who
had none. He said that the only way for the
laboring men to Improve their condition was
by organizing for their mutual benefit , not
by trying to run out those who already had
work and add them to the general mass of
poverty-stricken citizens. In spite of the
uproar which his unwelcome words raised ,
he succeeded before ho got through In con
vincing moat of h'ls hearers , and Abies' resolution
elution was almost unanimously voted down
In the face of the opposition ot such men
as W. F. Patton , Dr. Patton and a few
others.

The action ot the Des Molnes branch of the
American Railway union In calling upon
President Debs of the union to order a tleup
on the Rock Island system unless means of
transportation arc furnished by that road for
Kelly's army to Chicago , mention of which
la made In The Dee dispatches , does not
meet with the unanimous approval of the
members of the union In this city , Said one
of the charter members of the Council Bluffs
branch yesterday afternoon : "This move will
never amount to anything. The American
Railway union hasn't the foundation neces
sary to bring the Rock Island to terms.
And even It the organization was strong
enough , the language ot the Des Mollies
branch In making Its wants known savors
too much of a threat to have any great In
fluence with the railway company. Besides ,
times are hard , work Is scarce , nnd there arc
lota of men without employment who would
not let their loyalty to the cause of organ
ized labor stand In the way of their working
for the Rock Island , even though President
Debs ordered a lockout , which Is very doubt
ful. " Similar sentiments are echoed by
other members of the union , and It Is evident
that the union's representatives In this city
do not approve of the action ot their Des
Molnes brothers.
AiiinieiiK'iit Note * .
The city for the past week has been full
of local amusement topics In various forms ,
such as minstrel shows and others too nu
merous to mention , but not to be for

be nny less exciting , as the syndicate sale
Is being revived dally with new shipments
of merchandise at prices far below compe

Henry Hoist and wife , who were nearly
distracted Sunday night because their 13-
year-old daughter had left home , were con
siderably relieved yesterday morning when
they received a letter from her announcing
that she had secured a position as nursi
girl In a family in Omaha through the aid
of a newspaper advertisement and would be
over after her clothing. Mr. Hoist at once
left for the other side of the river and found
his daughter on the street. She was ap
parently as glad to see him as he was to see
her , for the lady who had engaged her had
changed her mind. She came back home
with her father , and will probably be more
willing to stay at home after the little ex
perience she has had In shifting for herself.
Settle Down.
Now that Kelly's army has come and gone
and none much the worse off for their
visit , let us settle down to business once
more and profit by the great lesson they
have taught us. There Is no doubt that a

on by extravagance , nnd oh. there's the
moral : Don't be extravagant , but go to 919
Main street and T. B. Hughes will show
you how to save your money , whether It's

citizens committee against the super
visors on a charge that they have converted
to their own use the greater part of $250,000 ,
which It Is proposed to take up wlh : fundIng -
Ing bonds. The affidavits show that In 1S92
the five member * of the board divided among
themselves $27,000 of the road fund , and
In 1S03 made another division of $24.000 of
the funds and drew In person five warrants
ot $1,000 cacti from the special road fund.
There are also charges , substantiated by
copies of the records , to show that members
of the beard drew their per diem , mileage
and committee work bills twice over.
It Is further charged that Supervisor

other persons , but receipted for by himself ,
signing the grantee's nnmethat ; ex-Supervisor
Mohler got $1,7CO In the same manner ; that

pcopio who will wish to attend from that
sldo of the river. The playing of the superb
band , the choral work'.Q.f the Apollo club and
the solo work of , thu. soprano. Miss Inez
Mecusker , will prove a very Interesting pro
gram for all loversof , : the musical art.

Apollo club at the ; Suusa band concert will
be conducted by Mr , Pennell , with the ac
companiment at ( he band , and Miss
Mecusker will sing the solo part of the

took tip the rehearsals In profcMlnn.il style ,
and whatever of smoothness there may be
to the performance Is due to his most carr-
