The sixth division i f the Railwsy Vail Clerks association, ahlch helj ita nual meeting here todiy retusd to listen n address by National President KM- but instead when it came his time talk carried a motion, after a stormy session, to proceed with 'hi election of - officers. liven though soma of the speakoi-s pleai'e d with the delegates to .Isten to the presi dent and not bo discourteous o him, the convention would not stand lor It. It was stated the reason for the action of the convention was that It would 1 :nipoaslW to conclude the buslnoss .of the day If the president delivered his aJ.tr-is. Tne real reason for the 'action of the conven tion was a rebuke to the president tor the frt It la alleged he naa takjn tn behalf of National Secretary Wood and the con vention feared that the president would attempt to Interfere in district poll tits. After the storm bad S'lbjldod, G. H. Worely of Omaha was cloned president, defeating W. H. Rlddtll, the prcsunt in cumbent, by a vote of 43 to ,7. F. K. Miller received 11 votes for the office. Thete other officers were chosen with l.ttle trouble: Fred M. Miller, Cheyenne, vice president; C. R. long. Council Bluffs, secretary; George Perry, Cedar Rapids, F. Lv Etns- tnan, Chicago, J.

Declining to listen to their .national president, A. A. Kldwell of Columbus, O., the postal clerks tonight passed resolutions of censure upon Secretary Wood of the national body for the submission at the last meeting at Boston of unexplained ex pense Items aggregating several thousand dollars. Following the adoption of the resolutions, President Kldv.eii was heard. He said the money had been used In fur thering the Interests of the association, but that he could not furnish details of the expenditures and retain his position as bead of the order. Democrats Are Eessomlcsl. The democratic I state committee will waste no time, money, passes or mileage In coming to a meeting to select a time and place for a state convention. The demo cratic state committee will hold no meet ing. Instead Chairman Allen has written a letter to the members of the commute asking them to state their preference of a place and a time for the convention, and When these answer arrive the chairman will cast them up and name the place and time for the convention. This will not only Save expense, but -will prevent any kind of 'a' Jar between the Bryan and anti-Bryan factloas of the party, or rather what re mains of the party. It Is very probable that the convmtW will be located soma time between the 15th and 36th of Beptem tr, aa It will come after the republican convention, which will be held the 14th of September. It Is almost the unanimous i opinion among democrat here that Chief Justice Holcomb will be tendered the nom ination for supreme judge If hi health will permit of him accepting it.

The fact that Deputy Attorney-General Thompson was assisting Attorney Howell today going over the anti-trust laws en acted by legislatures during the last twenty years gave weight to the talk that the at torney general would soon take a hand In the grain case now pending between the elevator men and Tom Worrall. Some time ago Governor Mickey and Norrls Brown, attorney generr', discussed the matter and the governor suggested that the attorney general keep his eye on the nrocee- 'ngs and If the evidence taken Indicate! that the state should take a hand, for him to do so with the knowledge that he would have the backing of the executive oStce. Mr. Thomp son said there was nothing slgn'.rant about him helping Mr. Howell, that he was merely seeing tor himself about the laws, aa his office frequently received requests for opin ions concerning them. Water Bonds May Be Iavalld. R. E. Moore, a large purchaser of village and town water bonds, has raised the ques tion of the validity of the statute under which these bonds have been Issued for a number of years and the matter Is now up to the attorney .general for an opinion. In his statement, filed with the state auditor, which he wants passed upon, Mr. Moore says the amendments to the original act passed In 1879 are not germane to the act. The original act provided for the construc tion of water works plants without provid ing for the Issuance of bonds. - This new act of 1893 provided that "suoh cities or village may borrow money, or Issue bonds for the purpose not exceeding 20 per cent of the assessed value of the tax able property within said city or village. according to the last preceding assessment thereof, for the purchase of steam engines. or for lire extinguishing appartus, or for the purchase, erection or construction and maintenance of such water works, or to pay for water furnished such city or village un der contract; and to levy or collect a gen eral tax tn the same manner as other mu nicipal taxes may be levied and collected to ah amount sufficient to pay the Interest and principal of said bonds heretofore or hereafter Issued aa the same may mature on all the property within such city or vll lags a shown and valued upon the assess ment rolls of the assessor of the proper' preclnot or township, in addition to the sum authorised to be levied under aubdl vision 1, and all taxes raised under this clause shall be retained tn a fund known as the water fund. Auditor Searle passed the question up to the attorney general and It will likely be several days before the opinion is rendered, for the reason that the legal department Is loaded up with work at this time.

If properly treated, could have been cured In a few days.
