ONE PLACE YET UNTITLED.
Ed p Smith of Omaha was today APP
pointed by Attorney General-elect Smyth as
his deputy This Is on the authority of John
Stephens of Hastings. who was a candidate

While there are many who strongly proph-
esy that George Lawrence Of Columbus will

equally strong terms that Prof. Wilson OF

man. While Governor Holcomb voted for
Lawrence at the time of the selection of
Secretary Akers. 1t is believed that the geo
graphical location Of Prof Wilson Is strongly
in his favor. So far Omaha has shared poorly
In the distribution Of popuist pie For this
reason many are ready to bank their polit-
cal sagacity on Prof. Wilson. 1t is given out
that there is to be another pie meeting" at
the Lincoln hotel Tuesday next Quite likely
both the deputyship of the new attorney
general and the secretaryship of the Board
of Irrigation may at this meeting drop from
the now scartily-aden table

the supreme court will be held next Tues
day. Only rehearings and advanced cases

pected in both.
