Now that Congressman Smith McPherson
has Dually decided to accept the appoint
ment of federal Judge to succeed tho late
Judge Woolson, Interest centers in tils suc
cessor to congress and already a number of
numcs havo been prominently meutlonod.
In fact, active campaigning has been com
menced by tho friends of some of tho
aspirants, and judging from present indica
tions tho congressional convention
this i

pnnioHi k ana uiitnn,i in ti, ,n,niini,
f 1S3S. which aftpr spvpr.il Hnvs" iiiMi.ilfirk
gave Smith McPherson tho nomination anil
sent him to congress.
Judgo Walter I. Smith of the district
bench, who was n candidate for tho vacant modified as merely to enjoin it from paying void of any personal features, Ignoring
federal Judgeship, will, It Is expected, bo for tho Oakland sito until after the thirty part ot tho treasurer's statement anil show
the only candidate from Pottnwattamlo davit which the law gives objecting taxp.iy- 1 ing by Irrefutable figure, not only that tho
county, although the numcs of others havo ,
cen mentioned. Among those mentioned i
from this county were Colonel C. (I. Saund- Smith bar. intimated that he Is willing to duty to tho pcoplo of tho state. As an lit
ers and C. M. Hurl, both of this city, hut It 1 modify tho Injunction, 'but to what extent ' stance, tho majority cites tho fact that
was without their consent or authority. I is not known. It is doubtful, however. If ! whereas In 18S2 tho railroad property of
Doth Colonel Saunders and .Mr. Harl stato
positively that they are not candidate and
both are supporters of tho candldacv of
Judgo Smith.
T. U. Swan of Atlantic will bo a candi
date from Cass county and It Is said will
havo a strong backing from his county.
lion. John Y. Stone of Oleuwood wns au-
ounccd as a likely candidate from Mills
county, but (Jencral Stone has declared posi
tively that he in not a candldato and fur
ther that ho nover thought of being. Ho Is
understood to bo In favor of Judge Smith
and It Is bullevcd that the latter will have
tho support of the Mills county delegation
In tho convention.
Webb Dyers of Harlan will bo tho candl
dato from Shelby county and his friends be
lieve ho will prove tho strongest candidate
and carry off tho nomination. They claim ,
lor .Mr. Myers Hint tie Is the logical candi
date and that he Is entitled to tho nomina
tion from tho republican party, having been
beaten by McPherson two years ago only
nfter one of the longest drawn-out struggles
In tho history of tho district. Some of
Ilyers' most ardent admirers and support
ers say that ho will be able to secure part
of the Pottawattamie delegation and that If
ho succeeds In doing this his nomination
will be certain.
Hon. A. L. linger ot Greonflcld, It Is said.
will be a candldato from Adair county.
Smith McPherson succeeded 1 laser In con
gress. These are the candidates mentioned so
tar, but others aro likely to spring up any
day.
Tho Ninth congressional district Is com
posed of tho following counties: Adair,
Audubon, Cass, Outhrle, Hnrrlson, Mills,
Montgomery, Pottawattamlo and Shelby. In
1808 tho district cast 21,976 votes for .Mc
Pherson nnd 17,484 for J. A. Lyons, tho
democratic candidate.

O A. Thomas, a flno-appearlng man, who
claimed to hall from Chicago, Btruck Coun
cil Bluffs about a week ago and has since
been doing a land ofllco business soiling
bonka to a crodulouo public. His method
was to hire a carrlago and from It sell tho
books at tho prlnolpnl street corners. Ho
was a ready talker aud found many pur
chasers. Evury book that ho sold he pro
fessed to sell at a price far below tho pub
lisher's price. When bo found sales be
coming slpw ho distributed a tow gratis
among tho crowd and this was certain to
start tho crowd buying again.
Ho rented a vacant store on Broadway and
nt night professed to hold what he oalle.l
an auction. Ho had a large stock of books
and tho dollars poured In fast and thick.
Ho literally talked tho peoplo' Into buying.
For tho privilege of selling In the manner
he did ho paid into tho city treasury $13.80
for an auctioneer!! llceuso up to July 1.
Yesterday, howevor, an Information was
filed against hlra In police court by Paul
Aylcmvorth, charging him with violating the
onllnanco regulutlng transient merchants.
The ordinance provides thnt transient mer
chants shall pay a license of $00 per month
for tho prlvllego ot doing business in this
city. Section 1 of tho ordinance In as fol
lows: "That any person, resident or non-resident,
offering for sale goods, wares or mer
chandise brought to tho city ot Council llluffs
for tho purpose of salo by auction or other
wise, by being placed temporarily In a
building for tho purpose of such sale, i.'.iall
be deemed a transient merchant."
Thomas had been stopping at the Oram!
hotel, 'but when tho officer went to servo the
warrant ho found that Thomas toad paid his
'bill nnd left tho city, his wlfo remalulng
In charge ot the stork nf bonks and contin
uing tho so-called auction sales.
Thin action on the part of Paul Aylcs-
worth was prompted by tho fact that
Thomas1 representations as to tho books ho
sold were alleged not to be strictly true.
For Instance, he sold a number of what ho
called Webster's dictionaries Biipposeil to
bo bound In nheepskln. A certain minister
of tho gospel purrtinsed one nt the reserve
prlco placed on them by Thomas, namely,
$1. This clergyman became suspicious and
wrote to tho publishing house, whose name
appeared In tho book, asking the prlco they
sold tho volume nt. He received an answer
yesterday to the effect thnt their price was
$1.98. Tho sheepskin binding, It Is alleged,
was found to bo only a poor Imitation mado
from paper. Several others who bought
theso dictionaries aro now clamoring to get
rholr money back, but ns Thonins has left
tho city they aro still clamoring.

his position with reference to railroad as
sessment. Ixitcr hi tho nfternoou tho other
members of tho executive council filed a
reply, to complete the record.
Tho treasurer In his statement argued for
two propositions: That tho assessment of
railroad property In Iowa is too low nnd
that in the assessment mado tho executive
council has favored tho Chicago & North
western railroad, whose attorney for Iowa
is denominated "tho do facto government of
Iowa," Mr. Hcrrlott nlso arose to a ques
tion of prlvllego in his latemont, charging
tho newspapers with unfair treatment of
blm.
in rPply to the argument of the stato
treasurer tho other mumbers of the council
join In 11 plain Btntemcnt of tho facts, do-
majority of tho council acted In good faith
nnd conscientiously, but discharged Its run
Iowa had but 6 per cent of tho taxes and
tho live stock Interests u per cent, ni tins
time tho rnllroadu pay ii per cent and the
live stock Interests but 0.
Hcrrlott states: "I think tho people or
Iowa will bo perplexed to determine whether
sheer stupidity or downright dishonesty
predominates tho executive council of the
state." He places on record n personal ex
planation of his own motives In fixing rail
way assessments during the last five years
and also proceeds to arraign his associates
on tho council, especially Secretary or Stato
Dobson. for their conduct in tho saino as
sessments. Ho denounces what ho rails tho star
chamber sessions of tho council nnd says
tho assessments are usually agreed upon
In the office of the secrctnry of stato, with
no outsiders present. Treasurer Hcrrlott
,,,. ,hnt ,,, rn,irnn,i9 ro not navlng their

claims that tho valuation Is not equitable
nnd In nccordanco with tho earning capacity
of tho roads.

Tho moat Important fe.ituro of tho legis

Another new railway project was formally
launched this morning by the filing of artl
cles of Incorporation by tho Southern Iowa
railway. Tho. new lino Is said to bo of
tho Chicago & Northwestern movement and
will extend from that company's road Into
Mahaska and Monroti counties for the pur
poso of tapping tho coal fields in that vi
cinity. Tho incorporators named In tho ar
ticles are: Daniel D. Bathrlck nnd Henry V,
Ferguson, and tho headquarters of tho new
road will bo at Cedar Haplds. Tho capital
is placed at $400,000.
This movo has been In contemplation for
somo time, but tho filing of tho nrtlcles of
Incorporation Is tho flrst evidence that the
genoral public has received that tho South
ern Iowa railway promoters really meant
buslnosa. Fifty-six miles will bo constructed
at onco and tho lino Is expected to make

WASHINGTON. March 28. Tho fifth day
of Governor Steunebcrg's testimony in tho
Cocur d Alone Investigation begnu today.
Representative Lentz continued tho cross-
questlonlng.
Tho governor said ho had been In tho
Coour d'Aleno region during two days lu
February before comlos here. Thcro were
threo state deputies on duty at that tlmo
and Dr. Frunce, who hns been in the servlco
of the stato continuously throughout tho
trouble. On one of his previous visits ho
talked with Sthnson, one of the Imprisoned
men. He had been told by Dr. France that
thcro wns evidence connecting Stlmsou with
tho conspiracy; that on April 15, prior to
the blowing up of tho mill, StlmEon had
told a certain Individual to get out ot
Wardner as thero was going to bo trouble.
The governor detailed a number of visits
to San Francisco, Spokane nud elsewhere,
during which he suld he met olllclals ot the
various mines. At a meeting at Spokane he
told tho mlno owners there would be no
modification of the permit system. Tho
mlno owners were opposed to this system und
wanted to employ any men they chose, but
tho governor said he iafnrmed thorn that
tho stato of Idaho would not permit the
employment of criminals. He had mado no
statement ns to how long tho permit system
would continue, but ho said ho Intended to
enforco It ns long as It seeoied necessary to
Insure order.
Mr. Lent, asked If this meant that tho
governor would do ns he pleased on the
subject, to which tho witness replied thnt
ho would do as his Judgment dictated. It
the permit system had resulted In a loss
to tho miners of $.100,000, ns Mr. Lentz
stated, the governor said he did not care for
that, as It was a necessary recourso by the
state.
"Llko Louis XIV, you aro the state," re
marked Mr. Lentz.
Mr. Lentz's allusion to Louis XIV caused
a prolonged discussion.
A sonsatlonnl eplsodo occurred at this
point. Representative Ientz asserted that
somo of the state deputies were living with
disreputable women.
Mr. Cheney, tho attorney appearing In bo
half of the stato ot Idaho, Interposed a pro
test nnd said: "I burl back at you that
statement. Tho deputies ore reputablo
men."
Lentz Indignantly resented tho interfer
ence of privato counsel ami, addressing thu
attorney, said:
"You ought to be kicked out of tho win
dow and you would be if you had not tho
majority of this committee behind you."
When Lentz attempted to read from pre
vious testimony concerning the Improper
conduct of deputies Chairman Hiill over
ruled this course. This further nettled
Lentz aud, addressing Hull, ho exclaimed;
"I want to say In your tcoth that If you
are n party to protecting this attorney In
a llo you are a party to It."
Amid much confusion Chairman Hull de
clared that Representative Lentz had In
sulted tho committee und Its members an
far ns ho could and that It would havo to
stop.
Representative Hay of Virginia aro3c to
lllllU ! I U
iter not Elve
,,,. ,
tamo uox oi
sny that the attorney had bett
tho llo to hta, and Rcprcscn
Georgia added: "If any man Insults mo
I'll hit him.'
Mr. Lentz asked the chairman why he
I did not call the attorney to order.
i .... ., of or.ior entirely out of
p L !, ,
ouer, ruled Mr. Hull, cmphuttculij.
Mr. Cox said that when tho attorney ac
cused a member of tho committee with
falsehood he forfeited his right to nppear.
"If ho says that to me," added Mr. Cox,
"olthcr he or I go out of tho window."
Representative Jott of Illinois said that as
a means of protecting tho committee ho
would movo that the attorney he expelled
from tho commltteo room. Many members
, wero on their feet trying to seeuro recogni
tion, when Mr. Jett mado his motion. Ro-
, , 0. ,,, , -nmmliicn -nvn Mr.
Rienty ftI opportun,ty t0 bo heard. lis
I explained that he did not intend to lay that
I Mr. Lentz had told a falsehood, but simply
! t" '! tho statement that Idaho deputies
, lived with dlsreputablo women. He upolo-
gl.ed for any misapprehension
Mr. Cox rwnnrked that a man must
cither "light or apologize In such u cane
and the apology settled It."
Mr. Jett withdrew his motion for ex
pulsion and tho outbreak was brought to a
close.
Governor Steunenberg than proceeded with
his testimony. He said he had frequently
received a petition addressed to the secre
tary of war concerning the retention of tho
United States troops In tho Cocur d'Alones.
He disclaimed nny knowledge of men being
discharged for refusing to sign tho peti
tion, or of state deputies circulating the
petition.
Tho committee then adjourned until to-

While the members were separating after
adjournment Chairman Hull said to Mr.
Lentz that tho latter's personal attacks on
hloi had gone as far as they could nnd If
they were ronowed "the room will not bo
big enough to hold us both."
Mr. Luntz replied that ho would take care
of himself.
Tho Intense feeling nrouBed wns manifest
