A moeting of the District Bar association to nominate judges for tho district bench is not materially different in method or manner from the ordinary political gatherings known to the comman people as conventions. Hon, A. J. Popileton called the meeting to order and placed Judge J. M. Woolworth in homination for chairman, His election was unanimous, Judge Elder of Blaw was elected secretary and the business of the meeting was opencd, Carroll Montgomory appeared to b closest to the ark of the covenant and brought the reshest intelligence from the gubernatorial front. He introduced the following resolu- tions Resolved, Tl after duc ballot this meeting now proceed, nations aro made, to elect by rs0f thebir of this districe belong ships the request that the gov ernor to fill sucl offic Tesolved, overy attorney residing in the district whose nime Is found upon the rollx shall beentitled to vote.

Joseph H, McTnfosh thoughit it unwise to select o man to fill Judge Clarkson's shoes Hasald: ‘It is a delicate malter toput a man in nomination for this place, as wo have nothing butarumor that Judge Clarkson in- tends to resign. George J. Hunt took the wind out of Mr. Melntosh's sails by reading a telegram from Judge Clarkson, in which he stated that_his Yesignation had been forwarded to Governor Boyd, and that he desired thata man be nom- inated to fill the vacancy. W. 8. Strawn warmed up and moved to adjourn. Ho kicked in the vigorous style of ~ the man who is notin the deal and objected 1o a convention callea with but twenty-four hours notico to select four judgss for a dis- trict composed of four counties, He intimated that it was a put up job. Judge Dufin wanted give the governor a littlo discretion, and he favored naming twicens many candidates as were in de- mand, with the naive intimation to the gov- ernor that with this trifling exception the bar is willing to trust his judgment. M. V. Gannon wantedto hear who was runuing for the judgeships, and he thought the notice of the meeting was very much breviated. Heo had heard on the streets o slate had been mude up. The motion to adjourn was defeated. Mo- tions and substitutes and points of order wero taken, but finally after Pat Hawes warued the old parliamentarian in the chair and Judge Ambrose that a motion 1o table an amendment would carry the whole subject to the tuble, it was agreed to procoed to an in- formal ballot. A. J. Poppleton remarked that he was not up on parliamentary mo- tions, but he had no time to waste and did not want an informal ballot, Pat Hawes moved that the first ballot be formal, but he was told howas out of order, Justice Reed wanted to bo suré specch-making was not cut oft. C.J. Greee hoped the mominating spécches would bo brief. Mr. Mclntosh arose to & question of privi- lege and fntroduced the following : ‘Whereas, Iéu\'hu( heard the announcement authoritatively made that his honor, Judge Clarkson, contemplates tendering to the gov- ernor of the state of Nebraska his resignation of the office of one of the judzesof the Third Judicial district of the state; therefore be it Resolved, By the bar of the Third judicial dalstriet thut we greatly regret the retirement of Judge Clarkson from the bench, for during theadministration of the affalrs, by his en- ergy and Industry he has done much fo facill- tate the speedy and equal administration of the laws and has particularly distingnished hinself s wise, earicss. upright and im- partial judge. This and the preceding resolutions were adopted. ominations were then declared fn order, ‘but not until Pat, O. Hawes' motion to allow all lawyers who are engaged in practice & wvote, was carried. A number of gentlemen wanted to make nominating specches, but this was declared outof order. It was then decided that two of the nominees should be republicans and two democrats, Will Simeral was appolnted _assistant secretary and Judge K. T. Dufin, T. J. Ma- houey, C. H. Greon and Ralph Breckenridge tellers. The followlng names were placed before the convention: K. M. Bartlett, T. J. Morearty, George W. Shields, A. N. Fergu- aon, B. E B. Kennedy, Frank Trvine, C.J.

Smythe, 41; Patrick, 51; Slabaugh, 21; 'Has- sett, 34; Estelle, 1467 Davis, 172; Offutt, 13, Some momber wanted to know who were the republicans ad who wero the democrats. Charles J. Greene moved that Davis, Sstelleand Trvine be declared tho choice of 3he convention, * Strawn objected and called for a recount. Mahoney said it was impossible, as many of the baliots had beon destroyed. J. W, Eller jusistod upon knowing the politics of the candidates. “Its 1o use asking” sald Judge Wool- worth, 48 vou will recoguize them by the small humber of votes they received.” The first formal ballot was taken and re- sulted asfollows: Baruett, 67; Morearty, 34; Shields, 213 Ferguson, 72; Konnedy, 24 Irvine, 187; Smythe, 84: Patrick 3873 Sla- baugh, 11, Hassett, 27; Estolle, 178; Davis, 174; Offutt, 27 Dayis, Estelle and Irvine were declared lected.

Montgomery Insisted that Offutt was not at cadidate and would not serve if elected. Judgo Ambrose sald that he know Offutt would accopt. Some one suggested thit a republican might boelected for the fourth place, but this idea was put to rest by Judge Wool- worth, who sad, **You must now prepare our ballots for democrat—a man who is il\own 10 be a democrat.”" Mr, Gannon withdrew the name of Morearty and asked his friends to support Smythe, The next ballot resulted as follows : For- guson, 803 Offutt, 70; Smythe, 34, ond Shield 3 votes, Thére was no choico. Agaln Montgomery insisted that Offutt ‘would not serve if M‘f)fl sted, On the next ballot Shields dropped out ana the result was: Ferguson, 77; Offutt, 62, and Smythe, 13 votes. There was no choice, The members of the convention grew tired aud bolted forthe door, but wero held in check by the court bailifl, whilo the last baliot was taken with the following result : Ferguson, 77: Offutt, 57, and Smythe 8 votes. Ferguson' was declared the choice of the con- ventaon, Moutgomery moved that the chairman and four othor members of the convention go to Lincoln and notify Governor Boyd of the selection. The chaar announced that hecould not take time to make tho trip. Mr. Prichen offered as an amendment that the chairman and the secretary notify the governor of the result of the Vole upon the candidates. The anendment carried. The political complexion of the nominecs is as follows : Estello and Davis are republic- ans, while Irvine and Ferguson are demo- crats, Hyland Took Aconite.

Van Camp then moved to readvertise, but there was no second, and he then seconded Corrigan’s motion to the effect that the con- tract be awarded to the next lowest bidder, The motion obtained the necessary thre votes, Corrigean ofterod a couple of resolutions, one declaring that John Reed should succeed W, H. Russell us enginoer at the county hospital after April 1, and the other admonishing county officers to purchase no new furniture or make any improvements without, first ob- tainiog tho consent of the board.

The verdict of the court-martial beforo hich Captain Henry E. Catley, Company C, Second infantry, was tried has been re- viowed by General Brooke and it did mot meet with his approval, The verdict found that Captain Catley was not guilty in every charge preferred, but General Brooke in a brief but caustic review of the case suys hes unable to see why such a verdict should be returned in the face of the evidence pro- duced. This will not change the status of the case, however, so far as Captain Catleyis concerned, for un acquittal by a court-mar- tial is theend of a case, Captain_Catley s, therefore, reinstated and s in charge of his compuny at Fort Omaha, - Major Worth of the Second infantry, lately promoted from captain of the Lighth in- fontry, will leave Fort Robinson in a few tion, a new clerk would be n[bpuiuk, d within two weeks, and lis name will be Jim Mont- gomery. ———— AN OASIS, Pleasant Reminder That Everybody Don't Kick at the Railroads. In theso days of legislative enactment against railroads and the proneness of tray- elers and shippers to kick on the slightest provocation, thelife of the average railrond official is not as blissful as some may imagine, hence when a grateful mortal turns up and actually takes the trouble to express his ap- preciation of the road and its service, it is the oceasion for rejozeing and congratulation, It is therefore not surprising that General Passenger Agent Francis should jeel elated over the receipt of the following letter from anold newspaper friend. Such little evi- dences of appreciation come us rays of sun- shine and tend to break the monotony of the daily routine of railroad life. Nowru Ly N, Conn., March 19.—My Dear Francis: Following your advice, I have had the pleasure fof riding over the Burlington route from Denver to Chicago, and I want to thank you for the enjoyment of. the journcy. It was a revelation to me, the superd man- ner in which we were treated. I have traveled quite extensively by rail throusghout the cast and the west, and I have never found the equal of the Buriington system. The ap- pointment of its sleeping cars, dining cars and chair cars are perfect, and under the splendid management that this road has - augurated, ona is as comfortable in a railway coach ashe can possibly be outside of his own home. Especially is their dining car service worthy of praise. It is perfectin every detail, and the fact that meals are served for 75 cents instead of 81, the price asked on nearly all of thoeasternaud the western ronds, makes it deserving of the lib- eral patronage that it enjoys. 1 can always speak a favorable word for the Burlington with a clear conscience, after having ridden over its main line. May it grow and prosper and may a liberal share of its prosperity fall to you. Yours truly, T. B. HoLmus, —— OMAHA'S OLD TIMERS, They Organize by Electing Alf D. Jones President.

F. H. Daily called the mecting to order and David Knox was chosen chalrman and W. J. Carroll secretary. Chareman Knox, in assuming chargo of the meeting, dilated at great length on the New- berry bill and its probable effect. Dan Honin stated that through some mis- take the chairman bad uot been furnished with a copy of the call for the meeting. He stated thata subject would bo presented to the meeting for its consideration which was of far more importance than the Newberry billor anyother law which might be enacted. The meeting had veen called for the purpose of forming a federation from the general manager to the wan who shovels coal, 50 as to presentan unbroken frontto anything which opposed the best interests of the rail- roud men, Chairman Knox took occasion to denounce any such scheme as all bo's A motion was made and onded that no othier business be considered except the New- berry bill. The question was put aud the motion carried unanimously 0. H. Daily moved the appointment of a committec to formulate a series of resolu- tions on the Newberry bill. The motion p; vailed and the following committee was ap vointed: Charles Unitt, Union Pacific; Jo- ph Beatty, Elkborn voad; E. Dunn, Union i CoA. Davidson, B. & M.; Henry Nye, B & ¢ The committee withdrew and loud cries were made for Charles Green, attorney for the B. & M., who procesded o the platform and addiessed the meeting. The well known origin of the Newberry bill was dwelt upon, and the speaker showed its arbitrary feat ures. He then spoke of railroads s an in- vestment and quoted figures to show that railway stocks were anything but_profitable. Coming to the questionof rates, thie speaker said Nebraska farmers had tho advantage over the farmers of New York and Pennsyl- vania and 11linois, and the cry in the east had been that the'east was belng sacrificed to the interests of the west. - The committee on resolutiois through its chairman presented the following preambles and rdsolutions, which were read by the sec- retary and adopted unanimously : Wh House Roll No. 12, ro Newberry v protracted st uses of the N in the senate by i Very measer ni Wiereas.

We therefore most respectfully submit to his ex- cellency our Honorable Governor James E. Boyd the inexpediency of attaching to said bill s oMelal sinuture. His sinaturo alone can breathe into it the breath of existence, and wo sk that he withhold the same. The secretary then proceeded to read _the following preamblo and resolution, which had also been presented hy the committeo, whioh was adopted with but oue dissenting voice: Wherous, The World-Herald, a newspapor pablished n the city of Omahd, has from the time of its consolidation under its present management assumed the role of ana. posed a8 the friend and chwmpion of the working- man, the advocate of the wage earner and the defendor of the oppressed; und Whereas, Sald World-Herald in ts recent 1ssues has scon fit (0 strongly advocate the passagoand approvalof the so-called *New- berry muximum rate bill” and similar bills introduced at the present session of the No- brasku legislature, 100king to the direct ruin of railrond Interests, and thereby the certuin injury of ull umployes of suoh corporations; and Whereas, The safd World-Herald hus deemed it proper to go outsiiq the line of its leglti- mato busiess as a purveyor of nows wid falsehood by the clrealtion und advocution of a public petition to eurhonorable governor and follow cltizen, calling upon him to sign and approve the salt ulied Newberry maxinum rate bill; unds Whorons, The sald ¢ World-Herald exists mainly by the graceof un inherited oapitnl origimlly’ earned almostwholly through the of ot triendly “offices, and drawn from the troas- t rallroad companies; and ctiond of thesaid World-Hei 2 with U said so-called Now- ry maximum rate Bl are inconsistent witl'its d policy.and the professions of its munag and Whereas.
