tFrom a stan correspondent

one topic that Is uppermost is that In rela-
tion to the position OF the Eighth judicial
district Of iowa and the candidates.
W.. d. Blakemore Of Bedford has come out
as a candidate for railroad commissioner
and was assured Of the solid delegation of
the Eighth district back of him. Blake
more is a member of the legislature, an old
soldier and very popular.
When Judge Waterman retired from the
bench 1t was suggested that Judge Towner
OF Corning would become a candidate for
member Of the supreme bench to succeed
Waterman. If this was done it would in
terfere with the candidacy OF Blskemore.
The latter offered to withdraw from the
race and give Towner a clear field In his
district, but Towner declined the offer and
has announced that he will not be a candi-
date for the nomination. This makes 1t
certain that Judge Charles A. Bishop. who
will next Tuesday go upon the supreme
bench by appointment, will receive a unani-
nous nomination for the remainder of the
term Of Judge Waterman.
Judge Bishop had entered the practice OF
law after retiring from the district bench,
but is ready to take up the work Of the
supreme court.
1t is probable that a meeting Of the SUI
preme judges will be held In July in ad-
vance of the fall term and some Of the
work which had been turned over to Water
man will be given to Bishop for the sum-
mer, Judge Bishop was married this after
noon to Miss Lyman Of this city.

the first of the training schools was at In
dependence in 1889, while at Clarinda the
school was established in 1894, and later

fed and a school on the same lines estab-
lished at Glenwood In connection with the
institution there.
The school at Independence had gradu-
ated eleven classes with 14s persons. Such
schools have become very popular and Iowa
is in the front rank.

ton Of the Soldiers Home on the canteen
