rated over the state and these plans
will be thoroughly discussed and
thrashed out during the meeting
Many of the leading workers of the
state will be invited to participate in
the programme, and the hope of the
officers is that this will be one of the
best of the conventions ever held dur
ing the existence of the union. DR.. S.
G. Swallow of Philadelphia Pa, Pro-
hibition candidate for president at the
last election, was invited to address
the convention the last evening and
accepted the invitation. but in letter
recently received by the secretary he
declined on account of business pres

being carried on with other speakers

the place with one Of the leading
workers of the country. The railroads
have been asked to grant an open rate
of one fare for the round trip for this
meeting.

The various city officers will spend
the Christmas in very quiet man
ner. Mayor Bergundthal will spend
the day with his family and will ex-
tract a little quiet enjoyment from the
occasion. City Attorney Spencer and
his assistant w. G. Ralston, have all
the work cut out that they can attend
to. The legal papers incident to the
transfer of the waterworkS to the city
will necessitate the expenditure OF
number of hours yet and the Christ
mas holiday will mean more In the
nature of a season of work than OF
play for the legal employees of the
city. The city attorney has been
logged by the newspaper reporters for
the past few days and he will enjoy
day of Surcease from their attentions
which probably will make it appear to
be seasonable holiday even If 1t isn't.
Fire Marshal Wilmarth will snatch
few hours at home but his is a vigil
lance that has to be ut all times on
watch and 1T will mean but a spas
modic holiday. The rest of the city
officers have not outlined anything
special for the 25th of December be-
Christmas.
