JEFFERSON FARES WELL AT CAPITAL Forty-thr,, MIJ Companies:
 in Parade To-day READY FOR INAUGURATION
John Will Head Judiciary Committee In + RagsdaIe the Health EER Jefferson Will Also
 A ct Local Legislation.

OS lgomery January 13.-(special.)-It S:E ell established that in the making
 of the committees of the house, lief fel son county is to fare wonderfully well, coming in for three. John will head the judiciary, Ragsdale the health, and Haley, Urquehart or King the local legislation. This is Inc dope one gets tonight.
 It is also certain that the upstate crowd generally will be fully cared for. Kirby of Madison gets the immigration, and report gives Carmichael of Colbert the penitehtlary chairmanship. If Arnold Is not placed at the head of education 1t will go to Alto Lee of Etowah, while the Calhoun man will likely be given another good assignment.
 Rumor has practically reached certainty that Long of Butler will get the common carriers chairmanship, Pitts of Selma the revision of laws, and Woolf of Marengo the ways and means. One hears that Manor, the majority leader in. the house, is to head the corporation committee, as he has a lot of legislation along this line at heart. As the original Martin advocate he, no doubt. will be able to get whatever he wanted.
 Committee on Banking in Air.
 The committee on banking seems in the air, with signs pointing to Rushton, one of the few bankers in the house. Major Long of Morgan. the only high military man In the house, is naturally touted for the military committee, and the fact that the anti-saloon men are urging Ballard for temperance makes him a reasonable guess. Bulger is said to be a certainty for chairmanship, and Good wyn, the recent candidate for speaker, will get a good place besides being all lowed to fill his old, place at the head of the capitol Improvement crowd. In addi- ton there are Ivons of Mobile, Smith of Fillmore, and half dozen other good Mar tin and Conner followers likely to be close inside the breastworks.
 Only three bills of platform legislation have gone In yet, but the rest are slated for ealy next week. Among these will be the various railroad measures and the corporation bills It is well known that bills of this kind are now ready to be pre- sented.
 Great Military Display.
 More soldiers will be in Montgomery for the inauguration of Governor Conner tomorrow than have assembled here since mobilization for the Spanish-American war, and than ever came to honor the in- auguration of a chief executive of the state. Forty-three companies of infan- try will be in line, with three troops of of these will be brought here through of these will be brought heere through the generosity of the railroad which fur nish free transportation, led by the Louis vile and Nashville. on whose lines are located 80 per cent of the whole force of troops.
 The parade will take place at noon, starting from the home of J. Craig Smith on Church street. The address of the governor will be delivered after the oath of office has been administered by Chief Justice Tyson. The new and retiring gov ernors will then review the troops from a stand on Dexter avenue. The reception and ball will be at night.
