DEATH 0I; JUDGE MOURNED
Charles A. Bishop One of Ablest Men
on Iowa Supreme Bench.
GOVERNOR TO FILL VACANCY
Secretary of Stole Has Good Joke
I pon National Committeeman
Ernest E. Hart of Coun
cil Bluff.
(From n Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, July 11 (Fpeclal.) State
officials today were csst In gloom by the
sudden death of Judge Charles A. Bishop
of the supreme court at Waterloo Thuis
day night, where he was attending the
meeting of the State Bar association and
where he dropped dend from heart failure.
Judge Bishop Is recognized as one of the
able men of the supreme bench of recent
years and was an extremely popular man.
He had served on the district bench In
Polk county previous to his appointment
to thp supreme bench to fill a vacancy
by Oovcnor Cumins and was since elected.
While none of the officials have made
an examination of the law on the matter
there Is considerable question as io whether
a nomination can be made to t'. the
vacancy to be placed on the state ticket
for the November election. The primary
tlectlon law provided that members of the
supreme bench shall be nomlnutcd by the
state convention. The state conventions
of all political parties have been held for
the nomination of Judges to be elected next
November.
Lawyers say that if there is any means
of law provided for getting a nomination
on the ballot where the vacancy In the of
fice occurs after the state convention, then
the nomination will bo nisde, but they doubt
If there Is any. There Is no doubt but that
the governor Is required to make an ap-
,Tolntment to fill the vacancy until audi
lime as It can be filled by a general elec
tion. This may be till 1910.
There Is not even a conjecture as to the
probable successor to Judge Bishop. Out
of respect to the lato Judge Bishop the
matter Is not even being discussed. The
republican state central committee ordi
narily would fill any vacancy occurring
among the nominees of the party. It will
meet Tuesday next, and probably then will
take up the matter of how a nomination
can be made to fill the vacancy.
Joke on Ernest Hart.
Ernest E. Hart of Council Bluffs ad
dressed a letter to W. B. Martin, secre
tary of state. Since W. C. Hayward has
been secretary of stcte for two years nearly
and alnce Mr. Hart Is national committee
man of the republican party and supposed
to be Informed he is in for a consider
able amount of Joking. It Is recalled by
politicians thut Secretary Leslie M. Shaw
told In his speech against the primary elec
tion law aome amusing stories of the Ignor
ance of the public generally as to the
names of public officials. It Is Jokingly
suggested that he will probably add this to
his collection.
Coal Miner Killed. -" -
Frank Williams, ago 31, a coal miner
living at Frazler, la., was found dead on
the Rock Island tracks in the Valley Junc
tion yards last night, with both legs cut
off, the skull crushed end side mashed
and the body mangled beyond recognition.
It Is supposed he was struck by n Rock
Island train. He leaves a wlfo and two
children.
Hull Contninnlrat Ion.
In an open communication given to the
press hero the Hull people have rev lew id
tho entire fight bt-tween Hull and Prouty
for the nomination on the republican ticket
for congress In which the charge Is made
that there was tampering with the votes in
Dallas county and that for that reason
Congressman Hull resists the recount In
that county. The communication contains
about 10,000 words and was prepared by
Attorney W. A. Graham for Congressman
Hull.
There Is a possibility that arrangements
will be made to have the case submitted
to the district court in advance during
vacation In order to get It through the
courts In time to get a nomination made
and a name on the ballot.
Annuls Partial Decree.
In an opinion on ' the Dubuque liquor
cases, which attracted some attention re
cently in which the district court of Du
buque county entered decrees requiring the
saloons to close at hours not provided by
the mulct law, the supreme court knocks
out the partial decrees. The district court
as a compromise between allowing them
to close when they wanted to and the legal
time provided by law, allowed them to
keep open an hour longer than the law al
lows and allowed them to break other pro
visions of the law. The supreme court de
clares that a district court has not this
latitude.

DELEGATES RETURNING HOME
Cook Cnnntr UenMfrrary li the First
to Pass Thronah Lin
coln, LINCOLN. Neb.. July 11. -The first of
tho returning casthound democratic! hosts
from the lenver convention reached Lin
coln shortly before midnight tonight. The
party was composed of the members of
the Cook County democracy, headed by
Robert Burke.
Tho first question asked by the clubmen
when they climbed off the train at the
station was; "Who was nominated for vice
president?" The Imperfect telegraph serv
ice had kept them In ignorknee as to the
choice of the party for second place until
Lincoln was reached.
The members rather expected the nom
ination of Mr. Kern and expressed them
selves as well pleased at tho outcome.
They rather expected the presence of Mr.
Bryan at the train and when they were
told he was in bed after a forty-eight hour
watch of bulletins, they seemed glad their
leader was Lot losing sleep on their
account.
"How are you suited with the work of
the convention?" was asVeJ of Robert E.
Burke, secretary of the democracy.
"I am pleased." he said. "We accomp
lished what we wanted the nomination of
Bryan."

Who Runs the House?
You have probably heard the story of the little seven-year-old
girl who told the cook confidentially that when she grew up
she was going to be a cook. When questioned why. her answer
was "So I can boss mamma,"
This applies to the maid problem generally.
True the best cooks and maids are usually independent,
and the bumble housewife will "put up" with almtst anything
in order to 'keep her."
Housemaid "jewels" are not hard to find, though! It's just
a question of knowing where to look' for one.
Just take a few moments today when you have finished
reading this and turn to the want columns of The Omaha Bee,
glance down the column situation wanted domestics. There
you will find listed the best maids and cooks the city affords.
Every morning there is a substantial number for you to
choose from. Start looking now.
FOREICN COMMENT ON BRYAN

Urlnm Cleveland.
LONDON. July 11. The Iondon aews
papers anticipate an Interesting eontest for
the presidency of the United Stales. This,
they think, will not arise so much from
the difference In platforms as from the
striking personalities of the candidates.
Mr. Bryan, having dropped the free sllvr
and other "extreme" planks, Is regarr.eifas
an acceptable cat.dldute, but as likely to
stand little chance against "Roosevelt's
nomine." His only chance. It Is thought
here, will be from the support given him
by the labor party, but this Is expected to
be more than balanced by the accession of
the business rommunlty to Mr. Taft.
The Dally Chronicle regards Mr. Bryan's
policy as being tho same as that of Presi
dent Roosevelt aixl says that it Is only a
question of which of the candidates shall
bo entrusted with Its execution. Whoever '
is the victor, the paper says, he will be j
a man of high character, marked ability
knd distinction.
The Dally Graphic refers to the speech of
Whltelaw Reld, the American ambassador,
on July 4, at the dinner of the American
society In London. Mr. Reld said that the
United States had had thirty elect lone and
each time the result had come out all right
fcnd It would do so In the coming presi
dential election, even If his own preference
were not gratified. He declared that the
Americans were learning to appreciate tha
I people they chose and referred to the sharp
antagonisms during th official career of
Orover Cleveland, adili.f that hardly any
one had gone to his grave with more re
spectful and general regret from the citi
zens representing ull parties.
"This." says the Graphic, "gives us the
measure of Mr. Bryan's sober evolution.
Whatever is good In the democratic creed
Is already an Integral part of the policy
Roosevelt la bequeathing to Mr. Taft, thus
there Is no serious political evil, and It
will be a matter of opinions.
The paper suggests that the Nebraskan
may obtain strong support from the Pa
cific slope by the adoption of Congress
man Hobson's naval views.
The Outlook thinks the odds against
Bryan are so enormous that only a land
slide can wipe them out.
Many of tho London newspapers print
th proceedings of tho convention at Den
ver and the nomination of the candidate for
president and the vice presidency without
comment.
BERLIN. July 11. All the newspapers
this morning print the news of the nomina
tion by the democratic national convention
at Denver of William J. Bryan for the
presidency of the United States, but most
of them without comment. The Bourse!!
Zeltung, national liberal, says:
"Mr. Bryan, upon the whole. Is a very
sympathetic personality. His great elo
quence Is due to his speaking his convic
tions. He Is a man of weight and a mag
nificent agitator, but hardly a statesman."
The Morning Post, the radical democratic
Organ, says Mr. Bryan is far below th
late Grover Clevoland In statesmanlike ca
pacity. MURPHY
