inated by acclamation. Tho other candi
date to be placed In nomination will be
to succeed Judge Walter I. Smith, who has
been nominated for congress and xxho hns
tendered his resignation to Governor Shaw
to take effect September 1. For the place
vrcatcd by Judge Smith there aro four
nvowed candidates In tho Held.
Tho convention will be called to order
nt 11 o'clock Wednesday morning In the
superior court room at the county court
house by I). O. Stuart, chairman of the
Judicial committee of this district. The
Fifteenth Judicial district Is composed of
nine counties, their votes In tho conven
tion being: Audubon, 9; Cass, 14; Fre
mont. 10; Harrison. 15; Mills. 11; Mont
gomery. 12; IMge. M; Pottntxattamlc, 27:
Shelby. 10. Slxty-txxo voten will be neces
sary for a choke.
The contest between the four candidates
to succeed Judge Smith premises to be an
Interesting one, as each will go Into the
convention xxlth his county pledged to use
tts best elfortn to snoure his nomination.
I'ottnwntlamlo having twenty-seven votes,
nearly double that of nny other county,
glxcs Its candidate. O. I). Wheeler, con
siderable strength at the outset. The can
didate from Mills county Is W. Scott Lewis
nf (llenxxood. Montgomery's candidate Is
It. W. Ileeson of lied Oak, while the can
dldate from C.iss county Is J. It. Kockafcl
low of Atlantic.
Hon. N. M. l'usey of this city xvas an
nvowed candidate for the nomination, but
at the county convention Wheeler's friends
xvere in th supremacy and the delegates
selected to the Judicial convention were In
structed for him. Whlli' this placed a
serious setback on Mr. Posey's candidacy,
his friends feel confident that he has still
a lighting chance for the nomination. It i
claimed that In the event of Wheeler fall
ing to make tho nomination on tho first
few ballot- It Is possible that Mr. J'usey'a
name may ho sprung and In that event tho was cleared, uc amcKen irom mo com
delegation from Pottawattamie, having plaint and that the Investigation be solely

twenty-seven votes for Pi'sej.
Illvlsloii nf ODlcrs.
Despite the fact that Wheeler will go
Into the convention xxith twenty-seven
votes at his back, those who claim to know
say that the present indication:! are that
the Htrongest candidate of the four be
fore the convention xvlll he Scott Lewis
from Mills county. The claim Is made
Hint Mills county Is entitled to tho nom
ination, for the reason that every county,
except It nnd Harrison, Is well provided
for In the xvay of onVcs. Harrison county,
being a newcomer Into the district, cannot
this year bring forth any special claims
In this line, but tho Mills county people
nre In ib-nd earnest xvhen they say thoy are
entitled to the district Judgeship this year.
Pottauattamle county has a federal Judge
In the person nf Judgo Reed of the United
Stntes court of prlvnte laud claims, clerk
of the I'nlted Stutes district court In the
person of Colonel .1 J. Sleadmnn. super
visor of tho federal census for the Ninth

Macy of the district bench and Fremont
has Judge Thornoll of the district bench.
Pago county has a congressman and Mont
gomery county bus u Judge of tho supreme
court and a federal Judge In tho nerson
of Hon. Smith McPherson. With this ar-
ray of oftlces held by the other counties
Mills county republicans claim thoy nre
at least entitled to a Judge of the district
court and on these grounds, In addition to
his fitness for the office, will urge tho
nomination of Scott Lewis of Glenwood.
As Judge Smith's resignation Is to take
effect on September 1 there will bo n va
cancy between that date and tho election
noxt November, xvhen the successful can
didate at tho polls will be ablo to tokc
his seat an the bench. To fill this va
cancy It Is understood thnt Governor Shaw
xvlll nppolnt the nominee of next Wednes
day's convention.

Milliner of Vntliiir on Amendment.
County Auditor Inncs has secured some
fifty nexv ballot boxes to he used at the
November election in xvhlch to deposit
tho ballots cast on tho poor farm
proposition nnd the constitutional amend
ment providing for biennial olectlons.
Tho general understanding was that these
ballots could not bo cast In tho same
boxes containing the ballots on candidates
and tho Hoard of County Supervisors, act
ing on this understanding, Instructed the
county auditor to procure nn extra set of
boxes. According to Attorney Genoral
Komley this Is unnecessary. In response
ui n request irom llio auditor of state,
.Mioriif)- iit-uerai iicnuey nns given an
opinion on the question whether additional
ballot boxes uro legally required for use
In voting on constitutional amendments
Th law passed by the Twenty-eighth gon
oral assembly requires that constitutional
amendments, propositions for Issuing bondo
and kindred matters shall bo voted on by
use of separate ballots. Nothing, however,
Is said whether or not theso shall be caHt
In the same ballot boxes ns thoso used for
bnlloiing on candidates, in his opinion,
Mr. ltemley holds that to require separate
ballot boxes xvould be useless expense. This
opinion was asked for by Auditor of Stato
Merrlam for tho reason that a number
oMnqitlrles on tho subject had coma to him
from county auditors nil over the state.

AMI-IS. la., Aug. 20. (Special.)- It has
been a matter of current rumor that Trtaln
bootleggers In this place have been doing a
land ofllce business for several months past
from tho Inrge number of workmen employed
on tho second track nnd locnl Improvements
of tho Northwestern railroad. Thce rumors
xx ere thoroughly examined Into at the Story
county prohibition picnic held on tho
campus of the loxx'a State college last Fri
day. It was Indicated In strong terms that
tho moral sentiment of this community xvas
slumbering nnd tho alleged open violations
of the Inw hero wero soundly denounced.
Last night a committee, consisting of sev
eral merchants, ministers and professional
men of the city, who xvere determined to In
vestigate tho truth of the prohibitionists'
assertions, accompanied by an officer, raided
tho places of business of the alleged boot
leggers. It xvns found that they xvere all
closed with one exception, probably on ac
count of tho fact that the grand Jury of
Story county Is now In session and tho
matter of thn Illicit ?nlo of Intoxicating bev
erages In this community Is said to have
been under consideration by that body. In
tho ono case referred to tho raiders found
several men engaged In reducing the con
tents of a keg of beer. This xvaB confis
cated, part of It taken out for chemical ex
amination, nnd tho xvholo matter xxlll be
brought to tho attention of the grand Jury
nt once. Tho party raided Is under a por
petunl injunction to forbear fiom selling
intoxicating liquors in this community.

SIOUX CITY. Ia., Aug. 20. (Special. )-
Arrangements havo been completed for the
feeding of 10,000 sheep nt tho Sioux City
stock yards this winter. The sheep will
ho brought by Timet Ilros. from the ranges
of Montana and it is expected tho first
consignment xxill nrrlve within n fexv xveeks.
The feed for the stock will consist mostly
of screenings of grnln from the locnl mills.
After the sheep nre fattened they xvlll bo
plnced on the market here, thereby furnish
ing good supplies for the local packers.
This big project probably xxill mark the
beginning of a Inrge Increase in the
amount of sheep business done at the Sioux
