From a staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Neb.. Jan. 7.-(Special) The
committees Of the house and senate left
Lincoln without making public their lists
of extra employees. but they have given out
sufficiently strong hints to make their
promises Of economy seem decidedly pre-
mature. The senate planned at first to
limit its number OF clerks and stenograph-
ers and attaches to fifty. but each senator
wants about two appointments and the
number will probably run as high as It
did in 1900. The house committee has de-
cided to stop when slxty-five are appointed
but will probably run over that number.
There will be no work for those employees
for a week or more and the committees
declare that they do not want to give out
their lists yet for fear all the appointees
will rush into Lincoln and demand to be
put to work. The committee would be
forced to disappoint them with the bitter
news that there was nothing for them to
do for a while and they dare not risk the
wrath OF the pie biters who could not be
set Immediately to earning their pay.
Graduates Of the University Of Nebraska
are fairly numerous in the house and they
can be trusted to fight hard for a big
university. appropriation. Earl Eager, foot
ball manager at the university is a wet
republican and consequently not in a posi-
ton Of strategic power, but he will make
his presence felt on university matters.
Among the others who will join in the
effort TO give the school plenty Of funds

Norton and McKelvie of Lancaster and in

ator Oils is one OF the strong men in the

verslty because Of his interests in scientific

Several musical selections played on
the plano by the ten-year-old son Of
Morris Weinfeld. who lives at 1905
West Grace Street. prevented a gang
Of burglars from robbIng the Weinfeld
home last night. frightening them
away before they had stolen anything.
The thieves. believing that every
member OF the family had left the
house, effected an entrance through a
rear window. They made their way
into one of the chambers on the lower
floor and were in the act Of rifiing
the bureau, when they suddenly heard
someone begin to play on the piano
in the parlor.
Mr. Weinfeld's little son was the
performer. He is a boy of unusual
talent, and had been left in charge of
the house. He had no idea that bur
< airs were in the next room, but was
playing to amuse himself.
Ii appears that for several minutes
after the boy began playing the thieves
remained I'm the house. They did not
know whether their presence had been

reau drawers.
The little boy continued to play.
