The above Is the ticket placed In nomina
tion yesterday by the democrat of Potta
wattamie county. With the exception of
Dr. Hombach, th nominee for coroner,
who Is a recent arrival In thl city, all of
tho nominees ar oldtlme democratic war
horse and several of them have In the
day gone by held various county offices.
While the convention was well attended.
It could not be called an enthusiastic gath
ering, and th delegate apparently realised
that while making the nomination a a
matter of necessity and form, the nom
inee were but lamb selected to be offered
tip a a sacrifice at th political altar next
November.
Blxby la Hopefal.
Th convention was slow In assembling
and It was fully half an hour after th
appointed time that Chairman Mack Qood-
trtn of th county central committee called
th gathering to order and named Frank
A. Blxby. former chief of police under
Mayor Jennings, temporary chairman.
Mr. Blxby, on assuming the gavel, said he
hoped the convention would select repre
sentative men, who would go out and make
a campaign, as he believed the democrats
had a good chance to elect part, if not
aU, of their ticket this fall.
Al Lcnocker of Oakland was selected a
temporary secretary, and then the conven
tion got down to business by empowering
the chairman to name the usual commit
tee. Th chair named th following:
Permanent Organization . D. Walters,
L, A. Devlne, Charles A. Sample.
Credentials James Duncan, George 8.
Dye, Riley Clark, Hugh McLean, J. J.
Hughes,
When th chairman, however, started to
name th committee on resolutions Roscoe
Barton of Avoca Interposed an objection.
The plan did not suit htm and ho sug
gested that the committee bo comprised
ot a member from each preolnct. Th
convention evidently agreed with th city
attorney of Avoea, for a motion to that
effect carried and a commute consisting
ot on member from eaoh of th forty-one
precinct was then named.
These preliminaries oompleted, th con-
ventlon adjourned to t p. m,
Retain Temporary Organisation.
On th convention reassembling the com
mittee on permanent organisation recom
mended that th temporary organization
be mad permanent and thl meeting with
approval, the recommendation of th com
mute was concurred with, th addition of
CharlesT). Walter as reading clerk being
mad on account of th clarion ring of hi
voloe. I
Th committee on resolution reported
th following, which were adopted In a
perfunctory manner after Secretary Beymer
of th committee had read them In a voice
which could not be heard two feet Away
from th chairman' desk:
We. the representatives of the democrats
of Pottawattamie oounty, assembled In
convention, do hereby declare and renew
our faith in the fundamental principles ot
the great party and swear our allegiance
thereto. We find much In our county
affairs that require the attention of the
tax payer and believe that the source of
the many existing evils can be traced to
th fac) that a very chosen few of the
republican party have the affairs ot this
oounty positively in their own hands, and
we declare our opposition to more than two
consecutive terms In office, and to the con
trol of county affair by any one man or
set ot men.
Resolved, That we believe that a public
office should be a publlo trust, used and
run for the Dubllo benefit, that the Board of
Supervisors should exercise their power for
the people's good and not for private gain
and political influence: that the appointive
that the appointive
offices should be filled by competent and
worthy officials who should discharge their
dutlea according to the spirit of the law
and not for the sole benefit ot the political
party to wmcn its members oeiong.
Nomination Com Easily.
Then commenced the naming of a ticket,
the first nomination being that for state
senator. An informal ballot brought out
th name of two members of the local
bar. W. II. War and F. W. Miller, both
ot Council Bluffs. Ware received Ut votes
to Miller's twenty, and on motion of W. W.
Cones War wa declared the' nomine by

with 139, Clark receiving seventy-seven and
Boiler five. On motion of Clark the noml
nation of Hetsel and Bate wa made unan
lmous.
For the nomination for oounty treasurer
there were three candidates before the
convention, W. B. Reed, Pat Gunnoude and
Louts Surmuehlen, jr., all ot Council Bluffs.
Th Informal ballot at one showed that
Brocks Reed had th inside track on the
other, two, aa he received 127 votes to Gun
naude'a twenty-seven and Zurmuchlen's
two. Mr. Gunnoude, who was seated In the

a formal one
An effort to make th first
th nomination for sheriff
failed and th Informal ballot brought out
four candidate, who received the following
vote: P. J. Smith, 41; James O'Neill, Ku;
Nick O'Brien 10, and John Bchoenlng. 32.
When the vote was announced O'Brien
stated that he was not a candidate and
for reasons known to himself he could not
accept the nomination under any elroum
stances. O'Neill wss nominated on the first
formal ballot by W votes, against 68 (or
Smith and t for Bchoenlng. P. J. Smith
a well known motor conductor residing In
th Sixth ward and yesterday was the first j
time that ha ever threw his political castor :
Into th ring. Much to everyone's sur
prise the name of County Chairman Good
win, who was thought to have had a lead
pip cinch on thl nomination was j
not even mentioned. It wa etated by his
friends after th convention that Goodwin
withdrew from the race in order to throw
the nomination to O'Neill.
O'Neill on being called on for a speech
said: "It will be two month before I shall
know whether I ought to thank you for
this nomination or not, nevertheless I thank
th convention."
For county superintendent of schools
Warren L. Rankin of Carson was nomi
nated by acclamation th name of Dr.
Ferron of Council Bluffs, an avowed can
didate for th nomination, not even being
mentioned.
An effort to nominate L. P. Judson by
acclamation for county surveyor was op
posed by Nick O'Brien, who placed tn nomi
nation City Engineer Etnyre. Charles D.
Walters, who had moved the nomination of
Judson by acclamation, stated that he had
been Informed by Etnyre that he did not
want and would not accept the nomination.
It was decided however to take an informal
ballot, which resulted a follows: L. P.
Judson, 116; S. L. Etnyre, 26; Ed. Btlmpson,
4. A formal ballot was dispensed with and
Judson was declared the nomine.
Dr. W. P. Hombach of Council BluTs
was nominated for coroner by acclamation
and he thanked th convention for what
he termed the great honor.

At the annual meeting yesterday morn
ing of the Pottawattamie County Bar as
sociatton William A. Mynster was re
elected president and David E. Stuart was
elected secretary. No change was made in
the standing committees.
A resolution was offered calling for the
appointment of a committee to examine
Into and report on the matter of persons
not admitted to the bar practicing In the
justice and other courts. The resolution
was discussed at considerable length and
wa opposed by a number of the older mem
bers of the bar, who took the stand that
any young man reading law should be
given every opportunity to familiarise him
self with court procedure by practicing
In the Justice courts. ' Others " took the
stand that the custom of men not admitted
to the bar practicing In the justice court
was detrimental to the prestige of the pro-
fesslon. Tho resolution wa finally tabled
by the decisive vote of 22 to T, it develop
ing during the discussion that under the
Iowa law any person could practice In a
Justice court and that no attempt had been
made by anyone not admitted to th bar
to practice In a court of record.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Sept. 1. Special.) Th
conference of the republican with the
state central committee today proved to be
a very harmonious affair and satisfactory
to th committee an dall those present
Chairman Spence presided and the mem
bers of the committee present were: Messrs.
Soott Fltchpatrlck, Hem pel, Kpps, Phillips
and Estabrook. Governor Cummins, Chief
Justice Bishop and Professor Rlggs, can
dldate for state superintendent, were all
present Senator Dollivor and Congress
men Smith, Conner, Haugen, Hull, Lacey
and Thomas were all present They all
spoke by invitation and discussed in a
general way the lines 'that should be fol
lowed In th campaign. In addition George
D. Perkins and others spoke on the same
subject Th general expression was ' In
favor of a short and aggressive campaign,
beginning all over the state about October
1 with good speakers, and an aggressive
movement for organisation. The speakers
all reached the conclusion that the one
question to be discussed was that of the
tariff, for the national campaign of next
year must be on this lino. Ifi regard to
financial legislation It was found that the
republican position Is not sufficiently clear
to follow any definite line, of attack. The
tariff, protection and prosperity should
be again th Issue.
The committee this afternoon held a
long session and arranged for campaign
work. There was a bitter factional fight
over the selection of the head of the lit
erary bureau. Chairman Bpenoe and those
who hav been Identified with th antl
Cummln element Insisted on selecting A.
M. Piper for the plaoe. Governor Cum
min wa called before the committee and
asked as to his position and he protested
vigorously against the selection of Piper
aa an unfair and unreliable man, but the
committee voted six to fiv to employ
Piper, thus turning down the governor and
other candidates on the state ticket. A.
F. Dawson was selected to have charge
of th speakers.
No Conference on Jndgeshlp.
Th members of congress from the north
em part of the state were to have held
a consultation here today tn regard to the
Judgeship in the northern district to suo
ceed Judge Shlras, retired, but owing to
the absence of Senator Allison thl could
not b held. No date for a conference has
been named, but It Is expected that the
conference will be held soon, as It Is the
understanding that Judge Shlras does not
intend to hold court any more. Judge Mc
pherson will sit at the session In Cedar
Rapids soon. Th members of congress
will have th deciding of the matter and
seven of them ar Interested. Not more
than two are for any one candidate, so
that It Is regarded as likely they will find
soma troubl In arriving at a conclusion.

One of the vestibules caught fire In some

NEW TORK. Sept. 1. At the second day'
session of the fourth International Con
gress of Actuaries the first paper discussed
was that by Ralph P. Hardy, delegate of
the Institute of Actuaries, London.
J. O. Vansls said that the difference In
th law in th various state would pre
vent the use of the "OM" table in thla
country. Discussion concerning th Brit
ish mortality experiences wa closed by
James RafCmann ot Budapest. Frit Tref
ser of Berne, actuary of the Swiss Federal
Bureau of Assurances and delegate of the
Swiss government to the congress, opened
the discussion of Mr. von C. Klhm's papers,
"Annuities" and "Mortality." He wa fol
lowed by Albrecht Gerkrath of Berlin and
delegate of the German Society of Insur
ance Science of Berlin, and H. Duplalx ot
Parts, delegate of the Institute of French
Actuaries.
The afternoon session of the congress be
gan with a general discussion concerning
desirable subjects for future mortality In
vestigations. Emery McCllntock of New
York spoke ot the work of the commltte
of the Actuarial Society of America, hav
ing charge of the recent Investigation into
the experience of the thirty-four life Insur
ance companies, with ninety-eight classes
of risks, and President Plerson called upon
Carroll D. Wright, United States commlsi
sloner of labor, who said In part:
i Conrt Need Good Tables.
During th last three or four year I hav
been frequently asked to furnish a rule or
measure of damages to be applied when a
man Is killed In some mechanical trad.
The courts are without the rule and I am
unable to supply It. I think, however, that
with the assistance of actuarial skill a
chart may be supplied so 'that we may have
fairly correct tables showing tne expect
ancy of life In the various trades.
Such a work by the actuaries of this and
other countries would knit the ties between
the Insurance companies and the neODl.
It needs the actuaries of the various coun
tries to ascertain with reasonable acou
racy these expectancy tables.
Amedee Begault ot Brussels, delegate of
the Belgian government, said that In 1899
tho Idea of constructing and elaborating
tables of mortality was first considered,
At the present time, he said, a group of
three table 1 being tabulated under th
direction of a committee and twenty-eight
Insurance companies are contributing data,
of which five are German and two Amer
ican companies.
aseda Takes Exceptions.
At the conclusion of M- Begault's ad'
dress President Plerson read the following
telegram from th Cuban minister at
Washington:
In Justice to my country I beg you to say
to the conference that Mr. Hoffman's state
ment about statistics and mortality Is not
correct. I send by mall publications of the
sanitary departments of Cuba showing how
haaty and unfounded are his remarks. They
show the mortality to be at the annual
Sate of about twenty per 1,000, During last
une It was at the annual rate of eighteen
ana nve-tentns per mousana.
QUESADA, Cuban Minister.
On Monday Mr. Hoffman, who is univer
sity lecturer on actuarial subjects, said in
parti ,
When ws sre told by a secretary of war
that the mortality In Cuba Is not more
than that in New York City it does not re
quire inurh actuarial knowledge to cause
one to smile and to know that it is non
sense. He also declared that the statement that
the death rate of the city of Havana is no
greater than that of Washington was un
true end that for some time to come the
death rate of Havana would b from 60 to
100 per cent greater than any northern city.
The first of the papers set for discussion
In the afternoon was "The Probable Fu
ture Course of the Rate of Interest," by J.
Burn, F. I. A., of the Prudential Assur
ance company ot London. Alfred Menes of
Berlin spoke on thl paper and th discus
sion was continued until tomorrow.
