Lincoln, Jan. 3.-(Special.) -Five
men hold the key to the situation in
the organization of the lower house of
the legislature. This was the most
interesting fact of all the incidents
which preceded the opening of the
state legislature at 12 o'clock today.
These five men are w. ID. Halter of
Blair. and four supporters, namely.
Nesbit, of Burt: Chambers of Wash
ington; Hall, of Rock. and Mccarthy
Of Dixon. These five refused to go
into caucus, and as their votes were
needed to defeat the populists on the
floor of the house, they commanded
the situation and compelled the sur
render of the forty-seven who eau
cussed to the extent that they gave
the five the privilege of organizing
the house. When this was agreed TO,
Clark of Lancaster, had been chosen
as caucus candidate for speaker, ami

There were still remaining the desig

besides the appointment of about fifty
clerks and employees.
The Haller five agreed at 2:3O this
morning to the proposition and went
into caucus. when three cheers were
given for the reunited party" as it
was put. These five men had stood
out from the first because they con-
ceived Clark's choice as speaker to
mean an advantage to ID. +. Thompson
for senator. They thought he would

Lincoln Special to the Omaha Bee:
The members-elect of the legislature
are at home for Christmas. and when
they next come to Lincoln they will
come to stay until after the first week
of the session. During the week just
past quite a number of the members
have made hurried visits here, but
these visits evidently had some quiet
purpose in view, as the members were
very little seen by the public after
their arrival. Each of them was care
fully taken in charge by the boomers
of some of the candidates for senator.
and little time was spent i'm actual
sight seeing. AS has been the ca Sc
from the start, the Thompson forces
are doing the best organized work,
and the Thompson headquarters.
which are in active charge of Brad
Slaughter, present busy appearance.
The Thompson men claim now to be
confident of success, saying they will
lead from the start, and will win out
inside of two weeks. In the mean
time Hayward, Lambertson and Field
have been continuing their visits over
the state and each seems to feel much
encouraged. Hayward was here today
for shot time, and while he made no
claims, one who is very close to him
said tonight that the judge would lead
in the race and that LamDertson would
come next, with Thompson ranking
third in the number of votes. This
claim is combatted by the Thompson
workers, and it is not known that
Lambertson himself would put an
estimate of comparative strength in
that orGer. Shrewd guessers on DO
litical affairs say that from the pres
ent outlook Hayward and Thompson
will start out about equal, with from
twenty-five to thirty votes eacS, the
others being distributed among The
other candidates, with Lambertson
leading the low men.--Columbus Jour

not been arbitrary. They were will

strength and glory. They didn't OBJ

they thought he stood FOR.
Icllers and Hastings of Dodge were
late to go into the caucus. They stood
out until I o'clock last evening, when
they signed the agreement. They had
satisfied themselves there was none of
the senatorial question involved, and

who believe this town cannot now well

The organization of the lower house

candidate for speaker. Though Mr..
Halter did not secure position in the

what ordinarily falls to the speaker.

by caucus. at which these five were
not present, but their modest numeri-

who has the interest of his party at

as to whether or not Clark's manipu-

An orange tree that will grow and
bear fruit as far north as st. Louis
and Philadelphia is promised by the
officials Of the agricultural depart
ment. The destruction of orange crops
and groves in recent years through
frosts in northern Florida directed the
attention Of Secretary Wilson to a
search for some measure of relief for
the owners who have been suffering
financial loss. He has been superln-
tending the crossing Of the Florida
orange and the Japanese trifoliata, a
hardy variety Of fruit, and now has
several thousand of the hybrid plants.
which will be set out during the pres
ent spring. The experts believe that
the new orange will survive frost and
a moderate amount Of cold, and are
confident that the experiment will re-
suit in producing trees in which the
excellency of the Florida orange will
be combined with the hardness Of the
Japanese plant. II the experiment sue
ceeds the department will materially
assist in reviving the orange industry,
not only in Florida. but In other South
ern states, and will at the same time
assure the orange-eaters of an unfail

mented.
