JUDGE WALTER I. SMITH HAS RESIGNED
Candidate for Congress Forward in

from Hie Jleneli to Take
HflTrut et Month.
Hon. Walter I. Smith of this city, repub
lican nomltieo for congress from tho Ninth
congressional district, yesterday forwarded
to Governor Bhaw his resignation ns Judge
of the district bench of tho Fifteenth Ju
dicial district. The resignation Is to take
effect on September 1.
The republican convention of the Fifteenth
Judicial district will bo held In this city on
Wednesday, August 20. Judgo Miicy's term
expires this year, and as Is well understood
by all familiar with the situation, he will
bo renominated by acclamation. For the
nomination to fill tho vacancy caused by
Judge Smith's resignation there, however,
promises to bo quite a lively contest. Four
of tho counties lu tho district have candi
dates, aa follows: Pottawattamie, O. D.
Wheeler of Council Uluffs; Mills, W. S.
Lewis of Glcnwood; Cass, J. U. Itocknfollow
of Atlantic: Montgomery, W. H. lleeson of
Hcd Oak. Tho delegates of c.ich of theso
four counties nro Instructed for their re
spective candidates, while tho other coun
ties are unpledged. There will bo 122 votes
In the convention, divided as follows: Audu
bon, j; Cass, 14; Fremont, 10; Harrison, 1G;
Mills, U; Montgomery, 12; Page, 14; Potta
wattamie. 27; Shelby, 10. As the situation
now is sixty-four votes are pledged while
fifty-eight remain unlnstuictcd.
It is said that LcwU of Mills county will
have tho support of Harrison county slnco
the stato 'convention. Previous to tho gath
ering at Dca Moines Harrison waa said to
bo favorable to tho candidacy of O. D.
Wheeler of this city. Tho turndown of
Dowell of Harrison county for a place on the
stato commlttco Is said to bo responsible for
the chango In tho feelings of tho Harrison
county delegation, as It Is asserted Potta
wattamie was partly responsible for Mr.
Dcwell's fatluro to be re-elected. Although
It la far too early In tho race to make a
forecast It Is generally conceded that Can
didate Lewis of Mills county Is at present
In tho lend nnd leading republicans say they
expect to seo him land the nomination.

appeared to bo ragged In the extreme.
Officer Matlock, as soon as tho pollco were
notified, hnstcned to tho scene and spent
most of the forenoon searching for the young
woman, but failed to secure any traco of
her. Thero aro several hundred acres of
land under corn In tho vicinity, which
makes tho search for tho young woman most
difficult. How she manages to secure food,
unless sho exists on corn, Is what puzzles
tho authorities. Chief Albro Is Bcrlouily
considering tho advisability of organizing
a large party and making a systematic
search for tho young woman.

Council Wants to Know,
This morning tho oxccutlvo council voted
to ask tho Western Union Tclcgrnph com
pany for supplementary returns on Ub
property subject to taxation this year.
This action is taken as a result of tho
discovery that 743 miles of telegraph poles
nnd wires belonging to the "Q" road, but
operated by tho Western Union In its
commercial business, havo not been re
turned for taxation. Tho statuto requires
that all telegraph lines owned, leased or
operated by any telegraph company aro
subject to taxation. TIiobo used exclu
sively in tho business of any railroad do
not coino under tho telegraph taxation
law. Tho Western Union admits that It
uses the telegraph syBtcm along tho Chi
cago, Burlington & Qulncy road, but In not
making returns on that basis It would de
prive tho atate of over $35,000 In taxen,
figured on tho not assessment of $75 per
nillo fixed by the council.
Along with tho dlscovory that this lino
was not reported this year arises the
question whether It has paid Its proper
share of taxes. Members of tho couucll,
nltiiough they aro reticent upon the sub
ject nnd declare that they havo not looked
the matter up sufficiently to discuss It,
admitted today that they wero Inclined to
think this lino had never been reported by
tho Western Union.

Found Demi on Ititllroml Truck,
FORT DODGE, In., Aug. 7. tSpoclal
Telegram.) Section men on tho Minne
apolis & St. Paul railroad made a gastly
find at Lako Mills this morning. Whllo
going south of town on the handcar they
espied upon the track ahead of them an
object which resembled a human form.
Examination upon closer approach dls
covered the body of a negro of middle age,
whoso head had beon crushed In by a
passing train. Thero was nothing on the
man's person to Identify him and no one
knows where ho enmo from or how tho
fatal accident might have occurred. Two
theories aro advanced, either that tho man
was walking along the track and was
struck by a passing train or that ho had
fallen from tho Sunday excursion train
with fatal results. He was taken to Uike
Mills nnd tho compauy Is making every
effort to Identify him. Tho coroner's
Inquest was held at Lake Mills this after
noon over the body of the dead man, but
nothing could bo discovered as to his
identity or as to how he came to his
deuth.
