Lower House.
The second days session of the lsgis.

however.

W. L. Kuykendahl; engrossing and en-
rolling clerk. W. w. jeffrey; sergeant

L. Zollman; Waterman, F. Nash; chap
lain, Rev. DR.. E. G. Rafter.
TIE president-elect made a neat little
speech Of thanks, and was sworn in by
Judge Sener, the other officers taking
the oath later in the day.
1t was voted that the rules of last
session be used until the committee ON
rules were ready to report.
A joint resolution was offered provid-
ing for the usual list of minor offices,
and also that when created they be
filed as follows: Assistant chief clerk,
j. d. Shriyer; assistant ~engrossing and
enrolling clerk, j. Talbot; j%anitor, w.
M0nra. na0a I Madam
A resolution was then passed thank
ing Secretary Morgan for his kindness
in procuring such pleasant and elegant
rooms for them and the council, after
voting to notify the house that they

O'Clock.
THE HOUSE
broke the ice by hearing the committee
on credentials, who reported twenty
three members present and properly ac-
credited. The report was accepted and
the committee discharged, and then
Mr.. Snider, of johnson county, who
was not present the preceding day, was
sworn in.
