ALL ITS BUSINESS OVER IN HALF AN HOUR
Reiaarlcahle tnaalialty Rkewa by
Delegates Who Hoaor Preseat Oo
eapaata of District Beach fey
Vote of Confidence.
Judges A. B. Thornell of Sidney, W. R.
Green of Audubon and O. D. Wheeler of
Council Bluffs were accorded rsnomlnatlons
by the republican convention of tha Fif
teenth Judicial district of Iowa yesterday
morning. The three Judges, whose terms
expire January 1, 1903, had no opposition
and were nominated by the secretary being
Instructed to cast the full vote of the con
vention for them.
The convention was called together at
11:30 a. m. by D. O. Stuart of Harlan, chair
man of the republican Judicial committee,
who named Edward W. Mills of Montgom
ery county as temporary chairman and A.
P. Clark of Page county temporary secre
tary. Chairmen Mills said it was too warm
to make a speech, especially as the time
was drawing close for dinner. The nam
ing of the usual committees wss dispensed
with, snd on motion It was decided that the
delegates ' present be entitled to cast the
full vote to which their counties, were en
tllled The temporary organliatlpn waa
made permanent. ' ,
On motion of A. E. Cook of Malvern the,
secretary was Instructed to cast the full
vote of the convention for Judges Thornell,
Green and Wheeler and committees were
appointed to bring th nominees before th
convention. - '
While the committees were absent on this
errand .Congressman Walter' I. Smith was
called upon for' a speech. ' He, said he felt
like the chairman that the convention did
not want to listen to any extended remarks
and therefore would not. make, s, speech. He
praised the state legislature for Increasing
the salaries of the Judges of the district to
what he considered an adequate and rea
sonable compensation. It being the first
tlms in the history of Iowa that Judges of
the district court hsd been accorded a com
pensation commensurate with their respon
sibilities and duties. He said that during
the ten years he had been .on tha district
bench he had refrained from discussing the
question-, but now that hs was offlt he wss
glad to be able to do so. His statement
that he bad always refrained from discuss
ing the salary question while on the bench
was due to the fact that he might Be told
that If ha did not like the pay he could re
sign, as there were many eminent lawyers
ready to accept th office, caused consider
able amusement.
Ro)aUoas of Convention.
At the ''Close - of Congressman' Smith's
remark, and while the convention wa
waiting for the nominees. Delegate Mitchell
of Sidney Introduced the following resolu
tions, which were adopted:
Whereas, The twenty-ninth general as
sembly of the state of Iowa increased the
salary Of the district Judges to $3,600, be
ginning January 1, 190S, and
Whereas, The term of office of all of th
Judges of the district court of Iowa will ex-
riire januaxy v wnu cvsiuu.
out Judges, whose terms of office will not
expire until January 1, 1906; and
Whereas, ; Under the constitution of t he
state -of lows the salary of officers cannot
be Increased or diminished during their
term of office, it would present a seeming
injustice to the four Judges whose term of
Office does not expire until January 1, 1(06,
to receive the salary as now exists, to-wit.,
the sum of 32,600 and no more; .
' Resolved, That it la the sense of this
convention that it would look with favor
upon any legal and proper method whereby
ilnn of tha four Judaea a fore
said would be Increased to a salary of $3,600,
beginning January 1, isos; ana
Resolved, That the convention would In
dorse any act of said Judges that is In ac
cordance with the law of the state of Iowa
In obtaining such end.

hereby empowered to fill any vacancies oc
curring by resignation of the nomlneea or
of the Judges now holding office or any of
them in the Fifteenth judicial district of
the state of Iowa, and that said committee
I hereby empowered with full authority to
fill any vacancy caused by resignation as
aforesaid, and place the name of the per
son selected by said committee upon the
republican ticket for the Fifteenth Judicial
district of Iowa, to be voted for at the next
general election ttolden In and for the Stat
of low, ''
.. Judge Macy "of this district 1 on of th
four Judges whose terms do not expire until
January 1. 1905. and Mr. Mitchell said that
while offering "the resolution, he had not
spoken' to or 'consulted with Judge Macy.
He offered, however, as suggestion that
in th event of Judge Macy, which action
he stated would be approved, he wa ur,
th committee acting under th resolu
tion could place hi nam on th ticket
nd he would undoubtedly be r-lct4.
By this method, he suggested. Judge Macy,
a welt as th other Judges In th state,
could receive th same compensation as
the others.
Several lawyer In discussing th reso
lution and Delegate Mitchell's suggestion
gave it as their opinion that th statute
In the cgse applies to th Judicial term
and not to th incumbent.
Th nominee were then introduced to
the ooaventlon and each In thanking It
for th renomlnatton mad a few remarks,
which were enthusiastically applauded.'
Judge Green took the occasion to sug
gest that the law ought to be changed In
respect to th right of th Judge to In
struct a Jury. As It is, he said, a Judge is
not permitted to comment on the evident
and thl he think la wrong. He believes
that a Judge should be allowed to give to
th Jury, the benefit of his knowledge and
should be more than umpire.
With the naming of the member of th
Judicial committee from th several coun
ties th convsntioa was brought to a
close, it having lasted less than an hour.
These were named as member of th
Judicial eommltte: Audubon. O. W. Cos
mos; Cass, B. W. Wood; Fremont, R, C.
Campbell; Harrison, H. H. Rodefer; Mills,
Edward Mills; Pottawattamie. D. K. Stuart;

Inqaest n Captain Denny.
Th Inquest which Justice Bryant In th
absence of Coroner Treynor deemed neces
sary to hold ovsr Dixon" Denny, the former
police captain who died by his own hand
last Saturday, was carried out yesterday
afternoon. The Jury brought In a verdict
to the effect that Captain Denny came to his
death by a shot from' a revolver fired by
his own hand whlls laboring under hallu
cination. Miss Uxil Englender, suiter of Mrs.
Denny, and John Corliss, a neighbor of th
family, were the only witnesses examined.
Miss Englender told of the struggls of her
self and sister to wrest the weapon from
Captala Denny, bar Story being substan
tially the same as that previously published.
Th recital of th story of th tragedy
proved too much for her and she fainted at
lis close and had to be taken home In a
carriage.
John Corliss testified to being awakened
by the report of th shot and finding Mrs.
Denny and her sister bending over the body
of Captain Denny, a short dlatanoe from
their house. H picked up the revolver,
which was lying a few feet from Denny,
and hastened to telephone th police and
summon a doctor. When he returned from
this mission other neighbors had assisted
in carrying Captain Denny Into his house,
and before th doctor arrived Denny had
bteathed hi last.

good. Mr. Sim Investigated the title,
found in hs opinoln that the title was good
and awarded the contract to Wickham, who
graded the property. Later proceedings
were brought to restrain th district from
building the High school on Oakland avenue

was built on the Street property In another
part of the city. Wickham' bill for th
grading ha bobbed up at Interval, but th
board never took any action on It It was
disposed of last night by being rejected, th
board being of th opinion that th court
should settle the matter.
Chairman Gorman of the committee on
fuel and heating made an exhaustive report
cn the condition of the heating plants and
boilers In the different school buildings, but
the board decided that It was too warm a
subject to discuss and action as to ordering
the needed repair was deferred, Oorman
reported that the contract for Installing
th beating plant at th Avenue B school
had been awarded to Stephan Bros.- H
tated that In order to avoid advertising
for bids th work had been divided Into
three separate contracts, each being under
$300, over which amount the board by law
Is compelled to advertise . for bids. ' The
aggregate of th contract amounted to
$765. i I : ! !
Owing to the absence of Chalrmaa Cooper

(From a Staff Correspondent)
DE3 MOINES, July 15. (Special.) The
executive council commenced listening to
argument In regard to the railroad as
sessments this morning. Repressntat'ves
of th various railroads wer present. In
cluding Baldwin of the Burlington, Knight
and Tarbut of the Illinois Central, Cran
don and Steven for th Northwestern,
Carr and Dudley for the Milwaukee, See
vers for the Iowa Central, Woodruff for
the Great Western, Carroll Wright for the
Rock Island and Bturgls for the Burling
ton, The hearings will taks several days,
and It la probable that all th railroad
eompanlc will be heard first. Several
others will also speak. A representative of
the buslnesa Interests of the) state, and
particularly the shipping Interests, will be
heard, and also persons representing coun
ties. The Board of Supervisor of Clin
ton county ha v sent Mr. Miller, an attor
ney, hers and tha county auditor of Ham
ilton county haa .written for a data for him
self and members of the board.
Judge Stevens of Boon opened th dis
cussion, speaking tor the Northwestern,
He laid the basis for his argument by pre
senting reports from many of the counties
along the line of the Northwestern, being
facts gathered by county auditor from the
records, which showed the average actual
selling price of the land which have been
sold the past six . months In these counties
to be about $62 an acre. He referred to
the enormous Increase In value of farm
lands. He believed the increase on lands
In Iowa had been from $7 to $10 an acre
since last September, and estimated the
actual selling price of the land In these
counties to be not less than $70 aa acre.
Yet the value aa fixed by assessors Is only
$44 an acre. Similar statistics were given
In regard to livestock and other property.
As for actual value, not selling value, he
contended that It would be nearer $100 an
acre.. In thirty, years the actual selling
price of lands, had risen 400 per cent, but
the assessed valtie had gone up but (0 per
cent. --.?
Judge Carr of Des Moines, speaking for
continue from day to day. The effort of
the Milwaukee company, presented a series
of affidavits along the asm Una.
. Th hearing was not concluded, but will
the attorneys for ths railroad companies Is
to prove that land assessments and the val
uation 'of all other property In the state
Is very low as compared with actual value,
and therefore there can be no valid excuse
for Increasing the railroad asssssmant.
Fereonal Property Assessment.
".. The ' returns pSpm' all' Ihe counties of
town on personal 'property- assessments' for
this year, except th county of, Linn, be,4
been received by. Auditor Merrlam and the
results are being tabulated;' ', The fact 'that
on county I missing' makes the figure
unsatisfactory. but enough can be deter
mined to show hat the Increase will make
a big dlffeience In the taxea of the state.
For Instance? "the actual value of new
buildings Is $18,643,810, and taking th tax
able value. , or one-fourth, it make th
assessable value of real estate. Including
new buildings," $410,177,035.' The net gain
In actual value of moneys and credit over
last year was $14,0,37 and the gain In'
value of merchandise wa $2,281,498. These,
with other items, makes the total gain In
all counties, excluding . Linn, $20,181,(12,
not Including live stock. With th personal
property gain and the gain In building th
state has not less than $40,000,000 more on
which to raise taxes, or an addition of $10,
000.000 to the taxable value of the state
property. The figures of live stock will
decrease this materially, for the assess
ment of live stock this year has been made
on a basis that will bring about a decrease
of from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000 actual
value.
Barred from the Malls.
The secretary of th Iowa But Board
of Health has received from the Postofflce
department notice that the Iowa Health

mad to have the prohibition raised, sine
to continue it would bo to shut It entirely

Appeal to th Democrats-
Frank Q. Stuart of Charlton,, who had
charge of th literary work for th demo
cratlo national committee two year ago
and for the etate committee last year, is
making an effort to secure the interest of
democrats In Iowa for the formation of a
company to put up $100,000 with which to
start a democratic ' dally paper ia Des
Mollis. He estimates that It would b
necessary to have the sum named to make
a fair start at a dally paper. He offer to
become editor of the sams snd take soma
stock in ths company. He haa appealed to
the democrats of the state to form a com
pany and get the paper started befor th
fall campaign I on.
Wholesale Poisoning-.
Th story of a case of wholesale poison
Ing comes from a farm near Jesup, where
twelve members of ths family of Peter
8mlth are lying at the point of death, with
physicians in constsnt attendance. It la
hard to get at the exact cause of the fam
ily's condition and various reports are
afloat. Tha one most generally credited
is thst they were poisoned by drinking
from a well contaminated by surface water
during the recent floods. Another report
Is that ths polsen wss In a keg ef beer
from which the family partook. Tbls Is
given color from the fact tbst ons soa who
