LINCOLN, Dec. 1S.-(Specta )-Promi-
nent democrats who want once more to
connect with the states cash drawer have
not yet given up hope of securing an
extra session of the Legislature and they
are still bringing pressure to bear on his
excellency.
One Omaha citizen, who called on the
governor recently in that city, suggested
that the governor should include in his
call the commission plan of government
for cities. This party desired this act
so that Omaha and South Omaha could
be merged into one city.
South Omaha will be willing for an
nexation under the commission plan of
government said the Omahan, but not
otherwise. So If you call the extra ses-
sion please bear that in mind. We are
very anxious to have the cities uniteC
before the census is taken"

chief clerk, are both anxious to have thu
extra session and it is reported so ar

Grand Duke Michael Was Oldest
Representative of Russian
Imperial Family.

CANNES, France, Dec. 19.-Grand Duke

Grand Duke Michael Nicholaievitch was
the oldest representative Of the imperial

pointed by his brother viceroy of the eau
casus, and commandments of the eau
casian army, with instructions to bring
the warlike, unsubdued tribes of this re-
gion under the Russian aegis. This task
he accomplished.
In the Turkish war of 1877 and 1878 the
grand duke commanded the Russian army
operating against the Turks in the Caucas
ian theater of war and in spite of early
reverses was finally able to force the sur
render of a large part Of the Turkish
forces at Ardahan and Kars. In civil lif'
he was a member of the commission which
arranged the emancipation of the serfs.
In 1881 Grand Duke Michael becam'
president of the council Of state an
played ar. active role in Its elaboration
until its reorganization in connection witt
the establishment of the duma, when h
was named it's honorary president. In lat
years he had lived almost constantly a

OF the report Mr.. Royse said: ""
Although the demand upon the banks
for money has been unusually active dur
ing the last two months, caused largely by
the impossible condition of the country
roads, making it almost impossible for the
farmers to market produce OF any kind,

one-half millions Of dollars since the report
Of August 81, last, the banks are running
strong, carrying an average reserve OF
over twenty-six per cent, being almost
double the amount required by law.
The deposits amount to over seventy
three and one-quarter millions of dollars
being only about one and one-half millior
dollars less than the amount reported
August 81, 1909, which was the high water
mark in the history of this state. Thi:
is an unusually light decrease in deposits
for this season OF the year.
