Iowa in the next congress. The Second
district elected Judge Martin J. Wade Of
Iowa city to succeed Captain Rumplc, and
this by a majority of nearly 1900. Judge
Wade is a man Of great personal popu-
larity. He was born in Burlington, Vt.
October 20, 1861, and removed with his
parents to Iowa at an carly age. when
he was about II years old his parents
settled upon a farm i'm Butler county,
which was then largely a broad unbroken
prairie, and the usual hardships of pioneer
life were experienced. He went TO dis
trict school in winter and worked on a
farm i'm summer until about 20 years old.
when he entered ST. JOScph'S college, Du-
buque. la. and studied classics about
three years. He then went to Iowa City
and entered the university, graduating
l.. l.. b. in 1856. He Immediately entered
partnership with Hon. G. :. Rank and
began active practice Of the law. which
extended into many counties of the state.
In 1891 he was called upon to accept a
lccturCship i'm the law department of the
university. and the next year. upon the
resignation Of Prof. WambaUgh, to accept a
chair i'm Harvard, he was elected to fill
his chair. lie still carried much Of his
practice. and i'm December. 1898, upon tn"
RESIGNATION Of Judge $. II. Fairall. he was
appointed by Governor BOics to fill the
vacancy on the bench. The following fall
he was elected for the long term and short
term, and was again elected in / 9S, and
is still upon the bench. Last January he
announced that he would not be a candt-
date for recollection and would not accept
a nomination. At the time of his appoint
mcnt he had no opposition, being APP
pointed upon petition of the bar of the
district. and since then he has never had
an opponent. either for the nomination
or the election, the republicans never
having placed a man in nomination against
him. when appointed to the bench he was
compelled to resign the professorshtp IT

town; he sees the huge vans rumbling
along the streets, loaded high with bales
and boxes, and whenever he happens to
find his way into the neighborhOod of the
railroad yards he is impressed 10y the long
lines of cars that are being shuntcd hithor
and yon by the powerful locomotives, and
with all this external evidence he gives
little heed to the real cause of it. Omaha's
jObbing trade for the current year will
amount to far more than 800, 900, 600, and
this represents only a portion of the freight
that Is handled through the city. If the
business of the factories, the local retail

of the smcltcr. the packing houses and
other institutions whose business is not
listed with the legitimate jobbing trade
were adCed in, 1t might be found that the
total for the freight figures had been
doubled. To furnish exact figures is i'm
possible, for the railroads do not care to
give out statements on the topic, but it is
known that an average of more than 1900
cars are handled through the Omaha yards
each day in the year. OF course not all Of
these are loaded or unlOadCd here, but a
great many of them are, so that a small
arm of men is constantly employed in til"
work of handling freight. Few buster places
can he found than the loading and unload
ing platforms at the local freight depots,
Most Of the big jobbing houses are So
located that switch tracks run directly ia
their doors and their cars are cmptied or
filled with little or no intervention by
teams, but quite a number are so situated
that their goods must be hauled back and
forth by wagon. In either event, 1t takes
men to handle the packages, no matter how
they are put up. A staff artist made a
morning call at some of the places where
freight is handled, and in the resultant
pictures the reader will get a good idea o
the volume of business and the method o
it's dispatch.

liver a course of lectures there each year
up to the present time. Since 1895 he
has also been professor of medical juris,
prudence i'm the College of Medicine Of the
university. He was president of the Iowa
state Bar association in 1898, is a mem
Der of the American Bar association and
of the Mcdico Legal society of New York.
He has delivered public lectures in many
places. He had never been a candidate
for any office except the judgcship, but
had been importuned for years to become
a candidate for congress, but pcrsistently
refused. desiring to devote himself to his
profession. when he announced his re-
tiremcnt from the bench it was with the
purpose of entering active practice. Since
his elevation to the bench he steadfastly
refused to make campaign speeches, de-
claring it to be improper for a judge to
do so. Prior to that time he engaged in
campaign work, especially during the cam
paigns of Governor Boies.
When the next congress meets there will
be only one new face among the repub-
Leans from Iowa, that of Judge Benjamin
p. Rirdsall. who will represent the Third
Iowa district, so long represented by
Speaker Henderson. He will be one of the

Young Benjamin had attended the pubic
schools in Wisconsin and on coming to
Iowa went to the State university at Iowa
City in 1874, and finished a course in the
academical department in 1877. He then
read law with c. n. Nagel of Alden. He
was admitted to the bar in 1878 at Hamp-
ton. He practiced for a time in partner

piano THE Mocking Bird could easily be
dumped out in variations for half an even

to be limited only by the endurance of the
player or the audience. The leading violin
in the orchestra would soar away in a gale
of imitation bird notes, so that you felt
certain he could never get back to the
tune again, but with a few gyratiOns he
gracefully returned and again took up the

bushy eyebrows; fierce, feline eyes-cold,

lifetime of stock gambling, yet with nerves
of steel; cynical in his views of mems
motives; possessing a literary style of re-
markable lucidity and distinction, yet ha-
bitually overstrong of spoken language; a
man OF culture, yet a croEy of Tacetrack

surprisingly keen judge of security values,
