Cedar Falls, May 81. O. Robinson,
chairman of the county republican CEN
trail committee has issued the call for
the county convention which will be
held at Waterloo. May 26. Candidates
will be chosen at that time for rep
resentative, sheriff, coroner, and super
intendent of public instruction. II. B.
Cropper. for two terms treasurer of the
county has announced that he will not
be a candidate before the convention
but will enter some line of business
which he has not made public. ]. w.
Illingworth of Waterloo, is said to be
candidate for his place. Hon. C. A.
Wise of this city, will be candidate
for representative for third term.
There has been considerable written
and said in opposition to his candidacy
and some unpleasantness has been
stirred up by correspondents who have
given vent to personal views, endeavor-
ing to create the impression that Pres
ident Seerley of the Normal school was
trying to dictate the political policies
of the county party because he was
indebted to Mr.. Wise for assistance
rendered in securing appropriations for
the Normal school. The action has
rather made than lost friends for Mr.
Wise it is generally believed and there
is but little doubt but that precedent
will be established by returning him
for a third term in the state legisla-
ture

Green's desire to resign was made re-
Gently at meeting of the vestry, and
the matter received considerable dis
cussion, all however. in the nature of
protests, and expression of regrets at
the doctors decision. The meeting held
session until late in the night and at it's
conclusion a committee was appointed
to consider and to take action upon the
resignation, this committee to make its
report at another meeting of the vestry
to be held Saturday evening. 1t is
probable that the report of this COM
mittee and the action taken will be
formally announced to the congrega-

IS NOT GOOD LAW
Judge M. A Roberts Holds the Temple
Amendment Unconstitutional = The
Case May Go to the United States
Supreme Court.

| Centerville, Iowa, May Shedding
| the Temple amendment demonstrations
| al, Judge NJ. A. Roberts, of Ottumwa,
last evening sustained the demurrer of
the Burlington attorneys in the case of
Mcclure VS.. the c.. B. & O. for $4,000
damages. Mcclure was a member of the
Burlington Voluntary Ralief Associa-
ton, and accepted the benefits of the
association eleven months after his in
jury in 1901. Howell & Elgin, his at
torneys, will appeal to the supreme
court. II the case is reversed there, the
burlington has avowed its intention of
taking it to the United States supreme
court. Briefly, Judge Roberts held that
the effect of the amendment was to en-
able party to recover twice for the
same injury; once from association up
on his contract to which defendant was
a party, and once by direct action
against the defendant. He held that
such rule is inconsistent with every
principle of the law of damages, the
universal rule being that a party must
recover all his damages for the same in
jury against the same party in one ac
tion The court said that while the
legislature has power for special rea-
sons arising from public safety, health
or morals to enact a law the effect of
which is to muct a railway company
in extra damages for failing to comply
with the same law directly affecting
the public welfare, yet in such cases
double damages can not be recovered
until after thirty days notice, by
means of which the railway may save
itself extra damages by paying the act
ual damages. The rule Of the Temple
amendment is extraordinary in the re-
spects above pointed out. No such rule
anywhere pertains to any other persons.
Under the federal constitution the leg
islature is prohibited from passing any
act which deprives any person of the
equal protection of the laws. Hence,
the amendment is in conflict with the
constitution and void.

years ago. He leaves wife and three
children, all of the latter being mar

was seriously injured in q runaway &C
cident here Wednesday evening. A
box rolled from wagon, frightening
the team ne was driving.
Mr.. Vestrem was jerked off the
wagon and thrown under the heels of
the horses. One front wheel and one
rear wheel passed over him. His head
is badly cut to pieces and the jaw
bone is broken in the center of the chin.
There are many deep. ugly scalp
wounds, one tooth is knocked out. and
a peculiar thing is that one of the
great toes is terribly mangled and
torn. From the nature of his wounds
1t is believed that the horses kicked
him, for it seems impossible that all
the injuries could have been inflicted
by the wheels.
