LINCOLN, Nov 10.-(Special Telegram.)-
Governor Sheldon has not taken any def
mite action toward the extra session Of
the legislature up to noon today. He is
still seriously considering the matter and
may give the call at any time 1t requires
twenty days notice and in case the deci-
sion is favorable the session could not be
called before the latter part Of the month
Democrats Up in Air.
The talk of an extra session has thrown
the democrats up in the air as we'll as
stirred up the republicans. The democrats
arc up against this proposition--they are
not sure they could repeal a county option
bill. In securing the support of the liquor
interests only lone branch OF the iegisla-
ture was looked after That was the SEN
ate. They have that, It is reported. suff-
ciently strong TO prevent the passage OF
any county option bill. But that element
Of the party paid no attention to the Sc
lection of house members. consequently
/ they are not sure If county option bill
were passed in extra session that the house
would stand for repeating it.
Those opposed to county option had in
mind only the prevention of the passage
Of the bill and no thought was given TO
an extra session.
This resulted in the visit to the state
house today of several parties who are
| anxious to get the names and addresses
OF the successful house members so asto
check up and see just whore the party
! stands.

suggestion to members Of the Board Of

Mr.. Bryan will not be rendered the place.
The Board OF Regents received Chancellor
Andrews resignation at a meeting called
for another purpose the other night and II
came as a distinct surprise even to the re-
gents. No discussion was had over the Sc
lection Of a successor, but a meeting will
be held shortly for a preliminary discus

BY the visit Of several members of the ma
tional guard attention has been directed
to the identity of the next adjutant gen
eral. 1t is the talk around the stae house
hat Colonel Hartigan has the naming OF
this officer. It is also the talk that the
colonel himself does not want the place.
The general impression of those who have
been in Lincoln since the election and who
take an interest in guard matters is that
Major Mack OF Boone county will be the

are of the opinion General Barry should
