JUSTICE IS NAMED
CONSTABLE ED NJ. CAMPBELL
SUCCEEDS TO OFFICE VACATED
BY JUSTICE o. L. CAMPBELL.
soard of Supervisors Fill Vacant Of
flee of Justice of the Peace Of Center
oWnship-ls Still Justice Camp
bell-Are Net Relatives.

Ed M. Campbell he's been
appointed Justice Of the peace for Cen
ter township by the board of super
visors at their regular monthly meeting
neld Tuesday in the court
house. Mr.. Campbell, who has been
constable for the past six years, sue
ceeds to the position made vacant by
the resignation of O. l.. Campbell. who
recently received his appointment as
deputy postmaster at the Ottumwa
postoffce.
Mr.. Campbell, who is thirty-four
years of age, is one of the well known
young republicans of the city and is
especially fitted by his experience as
constable and by his law study car
ried on during the past six years for
the position to which he was yesterday
appointed. He was born in Wapello
county, at Agency, but for the past
fifteen years he has been resident Of
Ottumwa.
When Mr. Campbell first came to
the city he was in the employ Of the
Ottumwa Iron works for two years,
after which he went into the service of
the Ottumwa Traction and Light COM
pany. He began work for this COM
pany as conductor, then as motorman,
spending one year in each position.
From these positions he was advanced
to general superintendent, which posi-.
ton he filled with excellent satisfac-
ton till the appointment of the re-
ceiver for that company, when the cur.
tailment of the expenses made 1t
necessary for the receiver to himself
act as superintendent.
In the fall of 1898 Mr.. Campbell was
elected to the position Of constable
and served continuously in that posi-
ton for six years. In all his various
positions Mr.. Campbell has shown
himself to be a capable and energetic
man and his many friends are today
congratulating him upon his we'll de-
served appointment. He will for the
present retain the Office occupied by
his predecessor, o. L. Campbell, who,
by the way, despite the fact that their
name is the same, is not related
in any way to the present justice.
Under his present appointment Mr..
Campbell will fill out the unexpired
term of former Justice O. l.. Campbell,
which extends till January l 1905

amounted to but very little He
stated that the matter Of compensa.
tion was probably one of the reasons
| for reducing the number of referees
Under the new arrangement there
will be sufficient business to warrant
giving time to the office and the idea
is perhaps that better service will be
secured and that matters coming up
in the bankruptcy courts will be
handled with greater speed and eff
ficiency than when every county seat
was the seat Of a referee.
