LiucoIx. Neb., Jan. 8--When the
Lieutenant Governor appeared IN the
HOUSE he Vas not allowed 70 take hs
ssat. bat stood in frons of the Speaker
ready TO call the joint session 70 order.
Both sides had . force Of seEgesnt-ats
arms within call. and any attempt on
either ads 70 proceed with tho canvass
of the votes would have precip'tated
row. To avoid this, committee from
each party, was sent with . statement
Of the case 70 the supreme Court.
Governor Thayer ordered out COM
pany OF National Guards, and st IL
o'clock they stacked arms in the corri-
dors Of the capitol. At 2 o'clock the
Lieutenant Governor appealed 70 Gov.
Thayer, and the Governor ordered that
unlees Meikiejohn Was admitted, tina
militia would take him in At the point
Of the bayonet. Meiklejohn was I'D.
mitted, and walking directly 70 the
Speakers stand demanded: "Ari
Speaker, do l understand that my
passes will not be honoredy' "That's all
right" replied the Speaker, cit will be
DONE"
At 2:l5 Speaker Elder called the joint
session to order. The Republicans and
Democrats were in their seats and an.
swered the roll coll. Meiklejohn held
his position in front of the Speakers
stand, which was crowded with Allit
ance men. He Immediately assumed
control of the Joint assembly. This
was scarcely objected to by the inde-
pendents, most OF whom were becoming
disgusted with their tactics. The COM
mittee notified the Secretary of State
that the joint session was ready to pro-
ceed TO canvass of the State. The
returns were taken in charge by
Meiklejohn, who handed them over TO
Elder. The latter replied that they.
had not been tampered with.
1t was O'Clock when Speaker Elder
commenced, at Meiklejohn's request,
filibustering was continued. Chief
y JuctlCc OooO, VI tuc SupIciuc NOui0 y
sent in word that men who adj
v.sed the Alliance men to disregard
the mandate of the court would be
dealt with severely. This bad sooth-
ing effect on the Obstrnctionists in the
lobby. At $50 the Speaker finished the
canvass, and formally declared that
James L. Boyd had been duly elected
Governor. This declaration was alec
made in reference to the Republican
State ticket below the Governor. Then
an Alliance member introduced res6-
luton to the effect that the election
was void, and refusing to recognize
any of the officers elected; also censur-
ing the Supreme Court. After much
delay and discussion, the resolution
was adopted by strict party vote-<70
to SO; Republicans and Democrats vo.-
ing no. The joint session then ad-
journed Thirty minutesaftert the official
announcement of the election result by
Speaker Elder. the oath of Office had
been administered to Governor Boyd
and tho other ofiicers-elect, and their
bonds were approved by the Supreme
Court. Legislature will assemble in
RI pular session.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Tonight Sol Smith Russell will re-
appear at Powers Grand IN his we'll
known impersonation of Noah Vale,
in "a Poor Relation" This quaint and
touchingly humane characterization is
popuiarly appreciated by the intelligent
theater- goers of Grand Rapids, and it
is gratifying to be able to announce the
fact that the house is nearly all sold
for this engagement. The production
will be given by one of the best COM
panies Manager Berger has ever en-
gagged for his star, and it will be
dressed by complete scenery and prop
critics. There are few good seats yet
unsold III the parquette, and before the
curtain goes up Manager Hickey will,
doubtlessly, have to hoist the standing
room sign.
One of the best plays that the famous
manager, A. NJ. Palmer, ever placed on
the road. is ':Jim the Penman." The
interest in this good play is never al
lowed to lag, and the plot is construct
ed in sIch direction that one interest
OH realization lasts only to give away
to startling change and most unex-
pected development. The fact that the
company is headed by Mr.. Palmer. is u
sufficient assurance to amusement
worthy OF patronage.
Klralfy's spectacular offering, "The
Water Queen" will be at Powers to-
morrow night. 1t has been seen here
before and has strength and attractive
ness IN Its scenery and pretty stage
pictures. Much effort is made in the
matter cf costumes. rs well az in the
marches and ballets. Seats are now ON
sale at the theater.
Geo. B. Wright is III the city for
James Reilly, the comedian, who will
appear in :The Broom Maker" At
Redmond's next week. Mr.. Reilly was
at Powers two seasons ago with this
play and it is one of the best shows
on the road at popular prices. Seats
are now on sale.
