GOSSIP OF THE LEGISLATURE
Happenings Out of Session which Are
of Interest.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)

(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Jan. S.-(Special. )-Before Gov
ernor Shallenberger appoints any members
Of the Omaha Board OF Fire and Police
Commissioner 1t will be up to John L.
Kennedy and Robert Cowell to again re-
sign. Upon their resignation filed with
Governor Sheldon there is the word Re
FUSED" written across the back, This will
make 1t necessary for the two members to
again resign to Governor Shallenberger.
Should nothing happen to prevent, the gov
ernor might be able to reach this order of
business by the first OF the week, when he
will officially announce his other appointees
who rave been named from time to time.
Ex-Governor Sheldon suggested today that
the legislature should appropriate $500 or
$500 to pay the expenses of the next inaugu-
ration and have the ceremonies in charge OF
a joint committee of the house and senate,
Several of the members of the legislature,
as well as state officers, will appreciate the
suggestion; the former because they in sew
eral instances were unable to get into the
ceremonies. while the expenses of the in
augural ceremonies are paid by the incom-
ing state officers. Having paid the ex-
penses, naturally the state officers expect
some consideration at the hands of the
management. while the legislators nave an
idea they, too, should receive at least suf-
ficient consideration to be able to get in on
the ground floor on such IN occasion.
While II will be impossible 10 keep track
OF all the mistakes the lincoln papers
make In the legislative proceedings, out OF
respect to Nebraska's new governor. A.
C. Shallenheger, this correction is offered.
The Lincoln Journal this morning an
nounced that when Governor-elec Shall
lenberger arose to take the oath of office
he handed to Chief Justice Reese his GER
tificate OF election but that Judge Reese
refused TO take II. Here is what really
happened. Go%vernor-elec Sha~llenberger
gave to Chief Justice Reese his official
bond about a week ago. The bond was ap-
proved by the chief justice but until yes
terday he had no opportunity to return II
to the governor, so that It could be filed.
so when the two men met in front OF the
joint session Judge Reese handed the bond
TO the governor and the governor placed 1t
in his pocket.

SHELDON A VERY BUSY MAN
Closing Hours of administration Were
Made Strenuous by Friends.
(From a staff Correspondent.)

(From a Staff CoTrespOndent,)
LINCOLN, Jan. s.-(Special,)-Pale and
somewhat haggard from the rush OF work
Incidental to his REIMBURSEMENT Of the
executive office. Governor George L. Shell
don, dressed in his evening clothes, wrote
the final sentences in his farewell message
to the legislature at 4;SO o'clock Thursday
morning.
During the evening the governor had been
torn from his work by admiTing friends
who took him to the executive mansion to
become the host at a surprise party.
Shortly after midnight the governor re-
turned to his office and left 1t again his
work done, just as the office lights were
dimmed by the break OF day.

he left for home to get some sleep before
being called upon to participate in the in
augurAl ceremonies.
Governor Sheldon and Mrs. Sheldon have
been much in evidence at social functions
during their two years In the executive
mansion and no executive family in Ne
braska ever entertained more generously
For this reason Governor Sheldon found
much OF his time taken up during the last
week OF his administration by his obliga-
ton 70 society. NAM receptions and enter
tsinInents were given IN honor OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Sheldon and they In turn gave sew
eral receptions TO friends who had beer

land commissioner and George c. Junkin,
secretary of state.
Attached to the certification was the
printed abstract of the vote.
Mr.. Ransom was accompanied on his call
upon the secretary of state by Senator
Tanner and Secretary Smith Of the senate.
His first demand was that the secretary
should at once get out the certified copy
OF the vote.
"Why don't you make a demand for the
original abstracts" said Mr.. Junkin, land
let the courts settle the matter"
"well, we want to canvass the vote be-
fore the case reaches the courts" replied
Ransom. .
From the attest moves the Omaha SEN
ator has made 1t is inferred that he plans
to have the legislature canvass the certi-
fled copy Of the abstracts of the vote and
then put it up to Governor S~hallenberger
to appoint four judges to take the place of
those appointed by Governor Sheldon.
| Should this be done then al invitation
would be extended to the three old judges
to sit with the four ne wones. Upon a
refusal then 1t is supposed Ransom con-
templates the appointees of Governor Shall
lenberger TO be the supreme court.
There are some stumbling blocks in the
way of this, however. For instance Judge
Reese Is chief justice of the supreme court
by virtue of a paragraph in the constitu-
ton and there is no law provided for the
selection of a chief justice save the provi-
sion in the constitution.
Ransom's action has led to considerable
speculation about just what he intends e
do and the possibilities are Fol

Captain Evans. sergeant-st-arms of the

been decided upon. Captain Better was
defeated in the caucus by the Douglas
delegation, which is charged up with
Evans. Member Shoemaker received a
letter from Evans in which there was
outlined a mighty good war record for
the captain. This won Shoemaker, who
is somewhat of a warrior in his own way,
so he proposed the name of Evans TO the
caucus, even though Evans is from Rich
ardson county. The Shoemaker speech
carried the caucus by storm and Evans
was elected. Incidentally this action on
the part of Shoemaker knocked some
good democrat from Omaha out of a job,
for the Jobs are divided UP equally be-
tween the members. Evans is charged
up to Douglas county.

Senator e. L. Myers of Rock county is
an advocate Of the establishment of ex-
perimental farms in the northern part Of
Nebraska. He recently bought nine planta-
ions in Virginia in the vicinity Of Apo
mattox, where he says the experimental
farms nave resulted in an increase of the
yield of corn from eight bushels to an
acre to as high as elghty-nine IN some in
stances. Northern Nebr aska is in especial
need of experimentation, he thinks, because
the farmers are not in a position to do It
themselves and the sell is Of a character
that should be worked right or loss will
ensue. At present Nebraska has one farm
at Lincoln and one at North Platte. The
latter, Mr., Myers says, has proved in.
valuable to the people Of the western part
of the state.

FUTURES this week closed IL to 90
points higher than last weeks clos

cry was one OF the main features Of

IN investigation 1t was found that
the ieading bear house in this mar
ket had quietly absorbed all the De-
cemDer long cotton with the idea of
taklng up the actua cotton. During
the entire week December sold over a
quarter or a cent higher than the price
OF middling spots. The week was given
up TO estimates Of what the census bu-
feau reports on ginning UP to Decem-
Der l and the government m of
the crop would be: for the first report
the trade generally seemed to expect
about 100000 bales n for the sec

were the main cause for the advance.

Chicago, Dec. THE railroad
strike in tho northwest has ceased
to be a factor in the wheat market
today. and the eyes Of traders were
again focused on Argentina where
weather conditions were said to be
favorable for harvesting. Favorable
crop reports from the South American
country caused a heavy tone in the
market all day and at the close prices
were l-8 to csc below the final f;s-
ures of the previous session. Coarse
grain and provisions also closed
weak.
Absence of shipping demand and
an official forecast Of a drop in tenn
rat throughout the entire corn
belt caused weakness in the corn
market. Local bears made an at
tempt to raid the market, but their
efforts met with only Indifferent sue
cess. The December delivery dls-
played the greatest weakness, largely
on account OF a I cent decline IN the
price of the cash grain. The market
closed almost at the lowest point
with prices s-3 to lac. to 5-Sc- De-
low yesterdays close.

Recovery OF Prices of stocks Largely
Attributed to Demand From Tn

(By the Associated Press

New York. Dee. 1.-THE recovery in
prices of stock today was carried
further with gathering force and ami
nation and with large responsibility
to the demand from un-
covered shorts for the demand which
carried prices upward. The outlines
given of h Presidents message were
accepted as authentic in the brokers
offices and had the effect of soothing
some of the apprehensions felt ear
iler in the week as to the manne in
which topics bearing on corporation
interests would be handed. Another
potent factor in quieting apprehension
is the belief that great mergers OF
trust companies are contemplated by
the purchase of the Guaranty Trust
Company and the Equitable Life AS
uranc Society in the Morgan inter-
est this week. The pursuance Of this
policy by so eminent a figure in the
financial world is taken to indicate
