SUCCESSOR TO M'PHERSON
Political Tongnei Art Wagging Now at a
Lively Rita.
MANY CANDIDATES FOR THE PLACE
Crnrrnl Opinion Mint Xo Ipoi'lnl Hleo
tlon Will lie Held to Fill the Con
urcsslomil Vnctincy AVIieu
It lUeiiUialei.
Tho opinion prevails hero that no special
election will bo held to select n mtcccssor to
Congressman Smith Mcl'herson. whose nom
ination for the federal Judgeship of tho
southern district of this state has been sent
to congress by the president. Dispatches
from Washington nnnounco that Mcl'herson
will continue In congress until the adjourn
ment of that body about June 1, when It la
understood that ho will send In his resigna
tion to Governor Shaw. The namo dispatches
say no win nolo court in Des Moines In
I Ma'' Tbo understanding hero among
court ofllclals, how over. Is that this la not
at all certain, and that possibly Judge Shlras
will preside, according to tho arrangements
previously made. Should McPherson elect
to preside at tho May term In Des Moines
ho will bo compelled to either give up his
salary as congreshinnu from this district or
eleo serve as federal Judgo without pay until
such time ns ho resigns from congress. The
United States suprwuo court has held that
no federal olllcer can draw two salaries for
different positions.
Tho appointment of McPherson to tho fed
ernl Judgeship and hlH necessary resignation
from congress will necessitate the election of
a successor tc fill tho short or unnxplrcd
term this fall when tho regular election of
a congressman from this district would he
held under any circumstances. Tho feeling
Is that whoever Is elected as congressman
will also ho elected to fill Mcl'herson's un
expired term
Interest Anionic: I'olltlcliui".
Tho election of Mcl'herson's successor Is
exciting much Intercut among tho repub
lican iwlltlelans all over tho district and tho
campaign from present Indications promises
to be unusually warm. Tho friends and
supporters of Judgo Walter I. Smith of thU
city aro very active nnd nt tho name time
most, sanguino of his receiving the nomi
nation. They count on securing the support
of Pottawattamie, Mills, Montgomery, Audu
bon nnd Harrison counties and If they suc
ceed In doing this Judge Smith Is sure of
tho nomination, which Is equivalent to elec
tion. Webb Hyers' friends aro equally confident.
They Insist that tho nomination rightfully
belongs to Dyers and Intend to stand by him
to the last ditch. They say whatever dole
gallons he will havo back of him this time
In tho convention will stand by him to the
last and that thero will be no such bro.iks
as were witnessed nt tho convention which
gave McPherson tho nomination after a
deadlock of soveral days' duration. Hyers
will of course have Shelby, his own county,
and It Is said Guthrie will also bo for him.
His frlonds say he will get part of the Pot
tawattamie delegation, as tho eastern part
of this county Is for him. This Judge
Smith's friends do not concede and they feel
sanguine of his being ablo to go Into tho
convention with a solid delegation from this
county. Hyors' friends also claim that he
will havo part of tho delegation from Hnr
i rlson county and possibly a largo slleo of
' that from Audubon. Hyers undoubtedly has
I many friends In the eastern part of Potta
wattamie as well as In this city Itself. The
Ifact that Pottawattamie has a candidate of
Its own this year In tho person of Judgo
Smith makes conditions very different from
what they were two years ao when tho
struggle lay between McPherson nnd Dycra.
Ciinh County Solid for Stvun.
Cass county will bo solid for T. I). Swan
of Atlantic, but what strength ho will havo
outside of that 1 at present unknown. Swnn
wan formerly a gold democrat who two
( yearn ago camo into tho fold of the repub
I llcau party. That he Is a strong man is
I gonerally conceded and Is said to tie ono of
'tho ablest "stumpers" In tho district,
i Hx-ConreHsinan linger of Oreoutleld Is In
I tho Held ngaln, but word comes from Adair,
his homo county, that it Ih doubtful It ho
will even pecuro a holld delegation from
there, an many of tho leading republicans
are said to favor tho candidacy of Hyers.
Tho announcement that Judgo Oeorge
Caroon of this city is a candidate has
caused mora or less surprise, as It was not
known until a few days ago that ho hnd
congressional asplratloni'. Ho Is popular
among tho veterans of the grnnd army and
It Is possible that ho expects to draw his
support from that ulement throughout tho
district.
I 'nnil liliitm for ClerUslilp,
Now that McPherson has been nppoluted
federal Judgo thero Is niueh Interest evoked
as who will secure the plum of clerk of
tho court. Financially the olllco Ih a most
desirable one, bolng probably the tt posi
tion In the southern district. Thero Is no
lack of candidates and considerable wlre-
pulling Is being done. While the appoint
'..... ....... i .. .i... ,
mi'ui. ui iiiu juuku nun m uuulh wju general
opinion was that If tho Judgeship went to
a western man tho clerkship would be given
to some one from the eastern part of tho
stnto, hi ns to dlvldo the honors. Senator
MeArthur of Hurllngtou was most prom
inently mentioned In this connectlqn and
there aro many who believe he will be ap
pointed. Frank Hunter, United States commis
sioner nt Ottumwn, Is a candidate, as Is li.
It. Mason, clerk of the circuit court fnr the
southern dUtrlct. The friends of Colonel J.
J. Steadmnn of this city, tho present Incum
bent, aro hopeful that he will be retained.
It Is generally believed that If any chango
Is mndo It will be made on political lines
and then In that case tho appointment will
go to tho eastern part of the state. State
Senator Hazelton of this city, Colonel Stead
man's deputy, Is reported to bo a candidate,
as Is Attorney A. B. Askwith of this city.
Local republicans am anloii3 that the
cotigronHlonal convention should bo cnllcd
for the latter part of Juno and will en
deavor to have It cnllwl for that time.

Judge Smith of the district court was to
have heard yesterday tho suit of the
Omaha Council HlulTs Hallway nnd Hrldgn
company against the Omaha, Council Illuffs
& Suburban Hallway company, but nt tho
request of the attorneys on both sides It
was continued until this morning. This Is
tho suit In which the old motor company
seeks the court to itnbllsh the relative
rights of It and tho new company to Hroad

Mike Smith nnd Hitler Hendley, two of
tho lads Indicted for mnllrlously destroy
ing the plumbing In a lint on South Tenth

Smith sentenced Smith to thirty days nnd
Headley to twenty days in tho county Jail,

tence, A. A. Fimllek, charged with burglary;
Charles Wilson, charged with forgery and
cheating by false pretenses; Charles Lang

C. Poor nnd H. Mnrks filed their nuswor
In the Injunction suit brought against them
by Zachary Taylor. They deny that Taylor
has any personal Interest In tho matters
complained of and allege that the applica
tion for the Injunction la made In bad faith
and for tho purposo of exjortlng money
They further spocillrnlly deny that Taylor
Is In any way Interested "In the welfare or
good order of the Inhabitants of said county
and state." They call attention to the fact
that another suit similar in its effect Is
pending In the district nnd that on May

DKS MOINES, April 4. (Special Tele
gram.) Hoth houses of tho legislature
mado good progress today In winding up
tho affairs of tho session. Tho house com-
' pleted tho consideration of nil the appro
priation hills except tho omnibus bill, pass
ing tho two bulky appropriations frr the
Stnto Hoard of Control nnd tho stnte educa
tional Institutions. Tho former carried with
It tho sum of $753,174.0.1 and the latter
, $ili.soo.
Other smaller hills passed upon by the
hotiso favorably as they were agreed upon
' In conference aro ns follows: Ten thousand
i dollntH for Benedict home, Des Moines,
'parsed by tho senate yesterday; $21,000 for
completing tho State historical building,
which passed tho sennto yesterday; $.1,000
I for tlio monument at the grave of Sergeant
Charles Floyd of the Clark expedition, also
passed the senate; $2,100 for repairing the
! Hoard of Control rooms; $1,500 for llsh and
I game, nlrendy passed the uenate; $1,000 for
' Heseun heme, Dubuque, and the same sum
for tho Woman's and nabltxi' home nt Sioux
'City nnd several other smaller approprla-
tlonn for special purposes.
Killinl StllTl'iiuc llefelllcil.
Tho equal sum-ago bill was defented In
the sennto today. It wns put to a vote
without discussion and Its friends had little
hopes of Its panjago nt the time. It has al
ready boon defeated by tho house. The vote
today was 21 yeas und 21 nays, lacking two
of a constitutional majority.
A tompromlso hill for tho five-mile limit
measure defeated by tho house yesterday
passed that body today. It embodies the '
heart of an amendment offered by Dyers to
tho llve-mllo limit bill yesterday, proposing
a heavy penalty for selling or giving liquor
to Htudents at tho stnto educutlonal Insti
tutions. In addition to this the house alao
adopted a resolution requesting the trui,
tciw of tho state educational Institutions to
adopt resolutions prohibiting drinking
nmong tho students and to report tho result
of this plan to tho next assembly. The ris
nlutlon Is concurrent and will go before the
senuto If tho slftlnc commlttco decides to
allow it.
Meet of tho day tho sennto spent on a bill
proposing to restrict tho commission al
lowed by boards of supervisors to persono
ferreting out property which has escaped
taxatlen. A sub-commltteo hill provided that
but 10 per cent commlssloti should be al
lowed, hut nn amendment making It 15 was
adopted as a compromise. The opponents of
tho bill argued that It would Increase tax
dodging, but tho measure finally passed.
At Its. afternoon session the sennto passed
tho hill providing that any Iown voter may
mark his ballot In both the circle at thn
head of tho ticket and the square opposite
tho candldateri' names. This restores the
old law, which was changed a fow years
ago to throw out all ballots marked In both
the clrclo and tho square. The sumo body
passed the hoiiBo legislative district appor
