The republican convention of the Fifteenth
judicial district held here yesterday afternoon -
noon proved a veritable love ( cast and resulted -
sulted , as had been generally anticipated ,
in the present judges of the district bench ,
lions , A. R , Thornell of Sidney , Walter 1.
Smith of Council Bluffs and W. It , Green of
Audubon , being honored with renominalions
by acclamation. The entire work of the
convention , most of the time of which was
consumed with speech making , occupied less
than an hour.
The convention was called to order
promptly at 2 o'clock in the superior court
rcom at the county court house by D 0.
Stuart of Harlan , chairman of the FIfteent'ii
judicial district committee , who at once
proceeded to business by presenting T. B.
Swan of Atlantic , who Lad been selected
as temporary chairman of the convention ,
A. B , Clark of Clarinda was selected as
temporary secretary and on motion the temporary -
porary organization was made permanent.
The appointment of a committee on credentials -
tials was dispensed with and the delegates
present were all declared seated , The eight
counties comprising the district were all
fully represented. It was then decided to
call for nominations by roll call of the
different counties. Audubon county on
being called placed the name of Judge
Green in nomination through Attorney
ITnnna and Fremont through Attorney Bar-
hour placed Judge Thornell in nomination.
Attorney Frank Shlnn of Carson placed
the name of Judge Smith before the con-
vention. When It came to the turn of
Montgomery county Attorney Pringle stated
that the delegation had been Instructed to
vote for their candidate , R. W. Beeson of
Bed Oak , but he bad requested that his
name be not placed forward and therefore
Montgomery county moved that the rules
he suspended anti that the nomination of
.Iddges Thornell , Green and Smith be made
by acclamation , which was done amidst
much enthusiasm.
tidings in h'eIIeltntlnas.
Then the convention assumed the nature
of a love feast and a season of complimentary -
tary speech making was held. Judge Green
was first called for and he brlelly expressd
his thanks and appreciation of the honor
conferred on him by his nomination ,
Judge Smith on being calla for said in
part :
In the evolution of the last 300
years there is nothing else so remm kable
as the rise of the judicial authority. The
judiciary was formerly nppointed by the
crown and belch office during the pleasure
of the king. In the hands of the crown was
the military power. The legislature held
the purse and by its control of npproprin-
ttons exercised a counter authority. It was
not until the period of George III that
the judiciary assumed the position where
it exercised a power equal , if not superior ,
to either the crown or the parliament ,
although provided with neither purse nor
sword. In this country , for the first time ,
the Judiciary was given the added power
of declaring the nets of the legislature con-
Crary to the written constitution of the
slate. It is with deep appreciation and sincere -
core thanks that I accept the nomination
which you have tendered me ,
Judge Thornell , who like his two other
brother judges , was received with enthusiastic -
astic applause on being called for , said :
I take it ( hint this nomination means
that you believe that while eve may , if
elected commit errors , we will do our very
best , It is an expression of confidence.
I remember an incident which occurred I
shortly after the election of Judge Carson
and myself to the district bench. I held
court in Council DlutTs and he in one of the
interior counties of the district After
completing his term of court , Judge Carson
returned to Council Bluffs. I watt naturally
anxious to know how he had prospered and
so asked him , "What do they say of us ? "
" \W'ell , " he replied , "they say they think we
are honest mind mean well and all that , but
we don't know anything , " It is fortunate ;
that the stale doesn't have to pay for what
its judiciary don't know. I have heard u i
great deal of complaint that time judges per-
omit lawyers to talk too much. It is a
fact known to lawyers , but not generally
to others , that according to the stale law ,
tue court can limit n lawyer's talk to a
Jury. The cool zany limit an argument
addressed to himself , but I presuine this
is on the theory that self preservation is
the first law of nature. Law may he on
exact science , huh while you may he certain
in inatuenmtlcs that 2 and 2 make 4 , you
can never be certain in law that it. is 2' '
and 2 , o' two and something else you aie' '
considering , It is said that law is the
perfection of human reasoning , which may
1w true it wo lay stress on the 'human.
The progress of society brings us constantly
taco to face with new condltious which your
judiciary is called upon to meet ; and I believe -
lieve no question is ever disposed of untll
It is disposed of rightly.
Ileeson's Ilnppy % Vllhdrivnl
At line conclusion of Judge Thornell's
speech , Attorney It. W. Beeson of Ited Oak
was called for , but he said he was not prepared -
pared to make a speech but caused much
amusement and no little enthusiasm by
making the following ronarlcs :
When I canoe to Council Illuffs last oven-
lug I found four candidates In tlmo field ,
for these three places. I realized nt once
that the only thing to be done was for
one of its to withdraw. This seemed to me
the most simple solution of time problem and
1 svcmt first to Judge Thornell , then to
Judge Smith and then to Judge Groan ,
but each of them passed me on to the others ,
mint finally , in order to accomplish my purl -
l pose. I withdrew nmyself.
Nothing would satisfy the convention but
that Judge N. WV. Mney of llnrlan , who was
an interested spectator of time proceedings ,
innke a speech , lie gracefully yielded to
the call amid said in part :
Of all Limo candidates whose names hnvo

visits to Montgomery county to hold court.
I belevo ) I have a correct neasure of the
moan and i must say that had circumstances
been different and you had chosen hint as
limo of your candidates you would still have
nmdo no mistake.

F. A. Dixby , chairman of the democratic -
cratic county central committee , yesterday
Issued a call for the county convention of
his party to be held in this city September
14 , for the purpose of nominating candidates
for the offices of auditor , recorder , clerk ,
attorney , coroner and two members of the
heard of Supervisors. Time convention will
ho held in the county court house anti the
ratio of representation will entitle time dif
ferent townships in time county to send 231
delegates. Primaries for the selection of
these delegates will be held Saturday evening -
ing , Septcnmbr 10. Following the adjournment -
ment of the convention the delegates representing -
senting Kane township will reconvene for
the purpose of nominating two candidates
for justice of the peace , two for constable ,
one for township trustee and ono for township -
ship clerk.
In making the call Chairman Bixby in-
vibes nil voters to participate in the convention -
vention who "believe in honesty and eccn-
omny in township , county and state affairs
and a national policy as now advocated by
the democratic patty. "
Local members of time democratic party
are not making any eager rush for omce
and the number of candidates anxious to
try their hands at managing the affairs
of the county mentioned so far are not over
numerous. For county- auditor , the nanie
of Jahn I'lumer of this city is being suggested -
gested by his friends and it Is said that
Mr. Plumer. who is an employe of the post.-
office nt the Union Pacific transfer , will be
nothing loath to accept time nomination and
make a race for the omce. Ills Is the onlyy
name mentioned so far for this omce.
There are two candidates in the field for
recorder , both of whom are making a more
or less active canvass for the nomination.
They are 1V. B. Fisher of this city and
Alex. McCandless of Avoca. The latter has
held office before and is evidently anxious
to do so again. W. B. Fisher Is a printer
nod this is his first throw into time political
arena in the form of a candidate for office
although he line always been more or less
active in ward politics.
Tim Healy of Avoca has cast envious eyes
oat the clerkship of the district court and
believes the job would just about fit his
caliber. Joe Klein of this city Is being
pushed for this office by his friends and it
is said will give Healy a close run for the
nomination.
For county attorney there are five candidates -
dates so far in the field who are willing to
spare sufficient time from their private practice -
tico to attend to the legal affairs of the
county. They are : John P. Organ , who
has held the office previously for several
terms ; Fremont Benjamin of Avocn , Toni
Cassady of this city , Roscoe Barton of
Avoca , and W , H. Ware of this city. Street
talk is to the effect that Organ if ho so desires -
sires can have the nomination dished up to
him on a silver platter.
So far no candidate has appeared in the
democratic camp anxious to serve as coroner -
oner , but A. W , Wyman and 0 , P. Wick-
ham , both of this city , are prominently
mentioned for members of the Board of
County Supervisors.
Friends of County Superintendent Sawyer
are , it is said , boosting him for congress
from this district , and they hope to capture -
ture the Pottawattamie delegation at the
convention to be held hero August 20.

crease it under such a plan.

cers on limo first day of the grand lodge Instead -

change was suggested In order that the electioneering -

DES MOINES , Aug. 11. ( Special.-The )
yield from Iowa's crops estimated from reliable -
liable reports secured in all parts of the
stab will not fall below wlmat 1s considered
as an average crop in any line and much
will be more than the normal.
The prospects now are that the yield of
wheat will ho the heaviest in the state for
tw'elv'e years. An average yield of from
fifteen to eighteen bushels per acre is expected -
pected and a total yield of 25,000,000
bushels , This will be nearly double time
time yield last year , The reason is time increased -
creased acreage and time excellent conditions.
The wheat will be better tot' milling purposes -
poses than any raised to the state for
years.
Oats are being threshed in all parts of
the state and the indications are that the
yield will be 140,000,000 bushels , being an
average yield of thirty-five bushels to the
acre. The yield would have been phenomenal -
enal had it not been for time damage by
rust and lodging , but notwithstanding this
damage the yield will be an average one.
Experienced farmers say the yield would
be larger and the grain better if the grain
was stacked. In all parts of the state
oats are being threshed from the shock
very extensively , especially by renters. Bar-
Icy , it is expected , will yield tldrty bushels
to the acre , a total of 15,000,000 bushels ,
being at increase over last year , nothwith-
standing a decreased acreage.
Front the present prospects corn is going
to yield from 275,000,000 to 300,000,000
bushele. Had it not been for the dry
weather in July , which spoiled the prospects -
pects of the first of that month , the corn
crop would have been abnormally large ,
As it is , it will be in many communities ,
while in others the hot weather brought it
below the normal.
Iowa Saldlers' Monte Complimented.
i ARSIIALLTOWN , In. , Aug. 11.-Spe-
cial.-General ) Newton Martin Curtis of Og-
densburg , N. Y. , assistant inspector general
for the government of soldiers' homes , has
just completed an inspection of the Iowa
Soldiers' home here. lie complimented highly
the management of Commandant C. C. lior-
ton and his staff , and said ho had fond
the lmomo in excellent condition. The only
adverse criticism he had to make was more
in the nature of the board of control law
which places the homne on a par with time
penal and charitable institutions of the
state , anti which indirectly caused the hospital -
pital to bo without a competent cook for
some time , owing to the big reduction iu
the salary and the number of aseistanls
allowed it that departmnent. General Curtis
intimated that this condition would have to
be remedied before time government allow-
snco was turned over to the state , General
Curtis also eald that , owing to the condition -
tion of time soil on which the home is located -
cated , it would require a larger expenditure
of money and more work to place time
grounds in proper condition , from the standpoint -
point of beauty , than at most of the other
like Instituliams , but la expresses confidence -
fidence that the people of Iowa would not
begrudge time necessary expenditure of
money- for this pnmrposo ,
