Shumway Case Argued.

The application for a rehearing filed in
the supreme court in the case of r. Mead
Shumway, sentenced to be hanged for a
murder committed in Gage county, was ar

occur January 8, the day after Ashton c..
Shallenberger has taken his oath Of office
as governor of the state. The supreme
court set the date last October. Mr.. Shall
lenberger begins his term of office on jan

his first official act may be to listen to a
plea for executive clemency. All dependent
Of course upon what the court does in the

Lawyers to Pick Judges.

Considerable interest attaches to the
coming meeting of the Stat eBar associa-
ton, because 1t is understood this associa-
ton Will recommer to Governor Sheldon
a bunch of lawyers from whom to select
the four supreme judges he Is to appoint.
The session of the supreme court at this
time has brought many lawyers to Lin
coin and the judgeship talk is heard on all
sides. A large number. Of lawyers have
called on the governor while locally the
lawyers seemed to be pretty thoroughly
worked up-over the matter.
Judge Lincoln Frost. JohR M. Stewart,
W. B. Rose and Walter Anderson are be-
ing talked of, their friends believing that
Lincoln is bound to get a place on the
bench, Notwithstanding Judge Reese halls
from Lincoln as does Judge Letton, and the
law requires that hereafter ali Of the
judges must reside at the capital. So Lin
coin stands to gain a new resident IL It
fails to get another Judge on the bench.
A good many of the politicians favor
Judge Frost for the job, because If he is
selected that will make a vacancy on the
district bench for the governor to fill, and
Lancaster county politicians never like to
miss an opportunity to fill an office.

County Judges Ask Legislation.

state met at the Lindell hotel today and
discussed legislation which will be asked
at the hands of the coming legislature.
Judge Carrico of Kearney county is presi-
dent, and Judge Roper of Butler, secre-
tary of the association. The county judges
nave found the decedent law enacted by
the last legislature is not free from holes
and stumbling blocks and for that reason
they are anxious to get it amended and
made palmer and more specific. The judges
are also up in the air as to their Jurisdic-

they desire specifically explained and set

in the gunroom was Quarter,
who favored him with an ex-
u pressionless stare, then with
q bow, quite perfunctory and noncom-
initial. 1t was plain enough that he
had not expected to meet Siward at
Shotover House.
Kemp Ferrall, dark, stocky, active
man of forty, was in the act of drain
ang a glass when through the bottom
ne caught sight of Slward. He finish
ed in a gulp and advanced, one muscu-
lar hand outstretched. "Hello, Stephen!
Heard you'd arrived, tried the Scotch
and bolted with Sylvia Lands. That's
all right, too, but you should have
come for the opening day. Lots of ma
tive woodcock-eh, Blinky?" turning
to Lord Alderdene, and again to ST.
ward, "You know all these fellows
Mortimer yonder'- There was the
slightest ring in his voice, and Leroy
Mortimer, red necked, bulky and
heavy eyed, emptied his glass and
came over, followed by Lord Alder
dene, blinking madly through his
shooting goggles and showing all his
teeth like pointer with tick. Cap
tain Voucher, gentleman with the
vivid coloring of healthy groom on
cold day, came up, followed by the
Page boys, Willis and Gordon, who
shook hands shyly, enchanted to be on
easy terms with the notorious Mr.. ST.
ward. And, last of all. Tom O'Hara ar
rived, reeking of the saddle and clink-
ing pair of troopers spurs over the
noor-relics of his bloodless Porto Rico
campaign with Squadron A.
1t was patent to every man present
that the Kemp Ferralls had deter
mined to ignore Siward's recent fool
ashness, which indicated that he might
reasonably expect the continued good
win of several sets the orbits of which
1ntersected in the social system of his
native city. Indeed, the few qualified
to snub him cared nothing about the
matter, and 1t was not likely that any
body else would take the initiative in
being disagreeable to young man

race were part of the history of Man

civil enough; and he chose Scotch and

Siward continued not to offer his hand

bless your heart, and he fused and
fused and beamed cordially until he
secured it in his plump white fingers
and pressed 1t effusively.
There was something about his soft
warm hands which had always re
minded Siward of the temperature and
texture of a newly Matched bird. 1t
had been some time since he had
shaken hands with Major Belwether.
1t was apparent that the bird had not
aged any.
Slipping his arm through the pivot
sleeve Of Lord Alderdene's shooting
jacket, hooking the other in Slward's
reluctant elbow and driving Mortimer
ahead Of him, Major Belwether went
garrulously away up the stairs, his
lordships handy little legs trottfng be-
side him, the soaking CATERS and shoes
stopping at every step.
Siward turned off down his corrl-
dor, unaware that the Sycamore pup
was following close at his heels until
he heard Quarters even, colorless
voice, "Ferrall. would you be good
enough to send Sycamore to your ken

"Oh, he's your dogl l forgot" said

Quarter looked at him, pausing a
moment.

For fraction of a second the two
mems eyes encountered; then Siward
glanced at the dog and turned on his
heel with the slightest shrug, and that
is all there was to the incident-an
anxious, perplexed puppy lugged off
by servant, turning, jerking, twist
ing, resisting, looking piteously back as
his unwilling feet slid over the pol
ished floor.
So Siward walked on alone through
the long eastern wing to his room
overlooking the sea. He sat down on

clothing laid out for him. He felt
