argument and some more, at which Taylor
asked permission to ask him some ques-
tons:
TO whom has the authority to canvass

sion. 10 it is presumed the governor is
only in possession of half the facts.
Clarke OF Richardson moved 10 adopt the
rules of the last session except that section
which gives the speaker authority to name
the standing committees. Shoemaker OF
Douglas objected to any authority being
taken from the speaker and so opposed the
motion. McColl of Gage objected. Then
Clarke explained hat the rule governing
the selection of standing committees had
not been decided upon, but would be taken
up at the night caucus and settled. Then
a wrangle followed and some one moved
the previous question and Taylor OF Gus
ter asked the speaker what majority is
required to pass upon the previous ques-
rion.' Some one started to answe and
Taylor insisted that the speaker tell him.
Brown Of Lancaster jumped in with a de-
mand to know h they were about to
vote on.
There is a question before the house. -
replied Speaker Pool. Stoecker tried to
talk and was ruled out of order. Then the
vote was taken to close the debate and
the original motion carried.

DEATH RECORD.
S. II. Wells.


HUMBOLDT, Neb., Jan. Especial. y
The community about Humboldt was
shocked to learn OF the sudden death,
shortly after noon yesterday. of S. b
Wells, one of the ~well-known pioneer
farmers of this section. Death resulted
from heart failure, from which he had
been a sufferer at times in the past and
came entirely without warning. Mr.. Wells
was about 65 years of age and leaves a
widow and four children, two boys and
two girls. all grown. The two sons re-
side in South Dakota, and one daughter,
Mr.. Guy Hummell, lives in Canada, while
the remaining daughter is at home, teach
ing school,. He was a member of the
official board of the Christian church
and was always active in church work.
Funeral arrangements have not yet been
announced.

l am here to represent labor. We want
the strict letter of the law enforced. We
know why Gompers got 1t. We want the
law and that is ALL" The maiden speech
of the South Omaha Dom Paul was greeted
with prolonged applause.
Bowman of Nuckolls (dem.) took a fall
out of Ransom by saying he, toa, was a
farmer and not up on the law in the case,
so he favored waiting until the members
had time to look into the question.
Scheele (dem.) of Seward appeared as the
champion of the taxpayers. II have my
doubts whether his amendment was hon
estly adopted he began. 81 am here to
save money for the farmers and the other
taxpayers. l want this business understood
before any action is taken"
During the iiabsts a motion was made
to adjourn, but this was voted down by
followers OF F~tansoni. Then later Wilson OF
Polk moved % adjourn, and finally this
was changed to 2 motion for a recess until
3 o'clock. which carried by a vote Of 81 to
AZ, many republicans voting for the recess.
One of the serious features Of the ques-
ton for the majority was whether the de-
bate would continue at such length hat It
would postpone the installation of officers
tomorrow.
The joint session canvassed the vote on
congressman and state officers and de-
clared those elected as shown by the can
vass of the State Canvasslng board.
notwithstanding the joint session was ad-
journed until Tuesday at 2 o'clock. a joint
session will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow
for the installation OF the recently elected
officers.
Both houses will meet at 10 O'Clock in the
morning.

HOUSE IN HELPLESS FOUNDER
Like ship without Rudden In Sea of
Motions and Previous Questions.

Prom a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Jan. 6-(SpeciaL l-Lke a ship
without a rudder the house drifted around
In a sea of motions and amendments pre-
vious questions and committee reports
which cams so thick and fast thai Speaker
Pool was at times helpless.
One of the real amusing features Of the
morning, however, was the action OF the
committee appointed to act with a com
mittee from the senate TO inform the gov
ernor the legislature was in session and
ready to do business. This committee was
composed of Boland OF Douglass, Raines OF
Webster and Murphy OF Fillmore, chair
man.
When the committee got back Speaker
Pool was on the floor and no one was in
the chair. Murphy reported that the COM
mittee had accomplished that for which
it had set out.
Clark of Richardson called the speakers
attention to the fact that this committee
was 10 act with a senate committee and
instead / a braved he governor all by
Its lonesome. The committee admitted the
charge. 1t was again started to the senate
for reinforcement to charge again on the
governor. The next message for the COM
mittee brought back was to the effect thai
the senate was not ready to act and the
matter would be taken up In the joint Aes-

snd plenty. He called Representative
Shoemaker from the caucus which was
heirg held by the Douglas delegation.
Wei. what do you fellows intend to
do?" he asked.
Wei. I don't see that we can do any
thing" answered Shoemaker. You see
we have only one employee each and"
II dom want q job from you fellows"
broke I'm Mundy, with his fur bristling. Il
wanted the Douglas delegation to sign an
endorsement for me 20 Governor shalicn-
berger. Don't sign e II you don't want e..
II you think you can refuse to sign It all
right. Give me that paper, l don't want
you TO sign It,"
Not much; Judge Shoemaker grabbed the
excited Mundy and gave a sign on the
door. which brought out two or three OF
the busy boys and Mr.. Mundy was i'm
mediately ushered into the sacred presence
OF Grand Chief Ransom, and Flynn. and
Tanning, and Howell, and Tanner, and
the scared house delegation. He came out
shortly without a ruffle on his face. Mindy

ell, because we don't know the oualifica-
lions of the candidates. we can't appoint
clerks who cannot attend to the work
Names are presented to us and then we
have to look the people up and see what
kind of a Job they are qualified for"
Shoemaker has decided to be chairman
Of the Judiciary committee of the house
and Stoecker and Thomas both want to be
chairman Of the committee on cities and
towns. Their case will be left to the
speaker and. as Thomas failed to vote for
Pool, he Is seriously handicapped.
Shoemaker is almost sure to land at the
head Of the judiciary committee, for.
strange as 1t may seem. there are so far
discovered only two practicing lawyers
among the majority in the house. Shoe
maker and Thomas. This will make these
two the guardians of the constitution and
legality of all bills. That is one reason
Shoemaker desires the job at the head OF
the judiciary committee; he is anxious to
save the constitution.
The Douglas county senator's slipped a
cog yesterday and, though it was a little
one, it demonstrated hat they had over
looked no bet in winding UP the organiza-
ton of the upper house. Wlitse of Cedar
caused it when he made the motion for
the appointment OF a committee OF three
on credentials. Wiltse, Howell and Henry
of Colfax were appointed on the commit
tee.
This did not suit Howell.
You didn't treat us right on this" he
said to Wiltse. we had a committee Sc
lected for this Job. selected in the caucus.
1 could not find the list and you got ahead
of me with you notion
what right have you fellows to name a
credentials COMMITTEES in a caucus" re-
torted Wiltse. THAT doesn't look to me
exactly right
well, 1 simply misplaced the list OF
names" replied Howell. and he felt SO
badly about it that he and the other DEM
ocratic member OF the committee were
sulky during the entire meeting of the
committee.
