With the exception of Dr. Hombach, the nominee for coroner, who I8 a recent arrival in this city, all of the nominees are oldtime democratic war horses and several of them have in the days gone by held varfous county offices. ‘While the convention was well attended, ering, and the delegates apparently realized that while making the nominations as a matter of necessity and form, the nom- up as a sacrifice at the political altar next November. Bixby s Hopeful, The convention was slow in assembling and it was fully half an hour after the appointed time that Chairman Mack Good- win of the county central committee called the gathering to order and named Frank A. Bixby, former chief of police under Mayor Jennings, as temporary chairman. Mr. Bixby, on assuming the gavel, sald 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 all, of their ticket this fall. Lenocker of Oakland was selected as temporary secretary, and then the conven- tion got down to business by empowering the chalrman to name the usual commit- tees. The chair named the following: Perml ent Ory An'lllloh—C D Walters, l. A Devine, Charles A. uncan, {I 5—J lg G.orlo 8. D o. moy Clark, Hugh McLean, J. J. ughes. ‘When the chairman, however, started to name the committée on resolutions Roscoe Barton of Avoca interposed an objection. The plan did not sult him and he sug- gested that the committee be comprised of a member from each precinct. The convention evidently agreed with the city attorney of Avoea, for a motion to that effect carried and a committee consisting of one member from each of the forty-one precincts was then named. These preliminaries completed, the con- vention adjourned to 8 p. m. Ret: Temporary Organisation. On the convention reassembling the com- mittee on permanent organization recom- mended that the temporary organization be made permanent and this meeting with approval, the recommendation of the com- mittee was concurred with, the addition of Charles D, Walters as reading clerk being made on account of the clarion ring of h volce.

Rankin of Carson was nomi- nated by acclamation the name of Dr. Ferron of Councll Blufts, an avowed can- didate for the 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 in nomi- nation City Engineer Btnyre. 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 as follows: L. P. Judson, 116; 8. L, Etnyre, %; Ed. Stimpson, 4. A formal ballot was dispensed with and Judson was declared the nominee. Dr. W. P.

At the annual meeting yesterday morn- ing of the Pottawattamle County Bar as- soclation Willlam 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 & committee to examine into and report on the matter of persons not admitted to the bar practieing in the justice and other courts. The resolution was discussed at considerable length ‘was opposed by a number of the older mem- bers of the bar, who took the stand that any young man reading law should be glven every opportunity to famillarize him- welf 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- fession. The resolution was finally tabled by the decisive vote of 22 to 7, it develop- ing during the discussion that under the Iown laws any person could practice In a Justice court and that no attempt had been made by anyone not admitted to the bar to practice in a court of record.

DISAGREE OVER LITERARY BUREAU CHIEF Members of the Committee Present kY Down Govermor Cummi; Man by a Vote of Six to Five, (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Sept. 1—(Special)~The conference of the republicans with the state central committee today proved to be a very harmonious affair and sauisfactory to the committee an dall those present. Chairman Spence presided and the mem- bers of the committee present were: Messrs, Scott, Fitchpatrick, Hempel, Epps, Phillips and Bstabrook. Governor Cummins, Chief Justice Bishop and Professor Riggs, can- didate for state superintendent, wero all present. Senator Dolliver and Congress- men Smith, Conner, Haugen, Hull, Lacey and Thomas were all present. They all spoke by Invitation and discussed in a goneral way the lines that should be fol- lowed In the campalgn. In addition George D. Perkins and others spoke on the same subjeot. The general expression was In favor of & short and aggressive campalgn, beginning all over the state about October 1 with good speakers, and aggressive movement for organisation. The speakers all reached the conclusion that the onme question to be discussed was that of the tariff, for the national campalgn of next year must be on this line. 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 the issue. The committee this afternoon held a fong sesslon and arranged for campaign work. There was a bitter factional fight over the selection of the head of the lit- erary bureau. Chairman Spence and those who have been identified with the antl- Cummins element insisted on selecting A. M. Piper for the place. Governor Cum- mins was called before the committes and asked as to his position and he protested vigorously against the selection of Piper as an unfalr and unreliable man, but the committee voted six to five to employ Piper, thus turning down the governor and other candidates on the state ticket. A. ¥. Dawson was selected to have charge of the speakers. No Conference on Judgeship. ‘The members of congress from the north- ern part of the state were to have held a consultation here today in regard to the judgeship in the northern dlstrict to suc- ceed Judge Shiras, retired, but owing to the absence of Senator Allison this could | not be 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 Shiras does not intend to hold court any more. Judge Mc- Pherson will sit at the sessfon in Cedar Raplds soon. The members of congress {ll have the deciding of the matter and ven of them are interested. Not more than two are for any one candidate, so that it is regarded as likely they will find some trouble In arriving at a conclusion, Peculiar Damage Case, A peculiar damage sult was commenced here today, that Theodore France against Dr. J. K. Ryan, a dentist. The claim is for $5,000 because of the death of the plain- tif's wite, and he makes the claim in his petition that the dentist made use of a drug while engaged in doing dental work on the woman from which she became Il and consumption followed, which resulted in her death. . A damage suit for $5,000 was commencod by J. C. Berry against the Northwestern rallroad and the company surgeon, Dr. Hanawalt, on account of an injury to the plaintift by falling on ice and breaking his leg at a depot. It is claimed that the surgeon was negligent, hence the sult. Fix the Court Rules, President Wakefield of the State Bar as- soclation has appointed a committee in accordance with a resolution of the meet- ing at its last session, to assist the judges of the supreme corut in revising the rules under which the court will work next year. The committee consists of: F. F. Dawley of Cedar Raplds, Charles M. Harl of Council Blufts, J. H. McConlogue of Mason City, J. H. Henderson of Indlanola and George H. Carr of Des Moln o Will Revise Appropriations. The lowa commission of the Loulsiana Purchase exposition will meet tomorrow to revise the appropriations for the different departments. It is found that there s a demand for more money for some of the riations out of the Fine arts, §1,000; women's work, §1,00; historical, §1,000; f estry, fish and gume, $1,000; live stock, 9. 000; education, $8,600; minerals and geology, $2,000; manufactures and machinery, $4,600: horticulture, $5,000; dairy, $3,000; agriculture, $7,000; total, $3,00, The appropriation for administration was $10,00. The heads of the different departments have organized and are doing work, but nearly all agreo that there must be more money for their departments, and the meeting of the com- mission tomorrow to revise these figures is therefore likely to be an interesting one.

Emery McClintock of New York spoke of the work of the committe of the Actuarial Soclety 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.

Th? courts are without the rule and 1 am unable to supply It. I think, however, that with the assistance of actuarial il a chart may be luDgHsd #0°that we may have fairly correct les showing the 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 companieg and the people. It needs the actuaries he various coun- tries to ascertain with reasonable accu- racy these expectancy tables. Amedee Begault of Brussels, delegate of the Belglan government, said that in 1589 the idea of constructing and elaborating tables of mortallty was first considered. At the present time, he sald, a group of three tables is being tabulated under the direction of a committes and twenty-eight insurance companies are contributing dat of which five are German and two Amer- ican companies.
