LEGISLATORS TAKE A REST Beoond Week of Beision a Bu'y One and Decis Oleared for Wok INDICATIONS NO TIME WILL BE WASTED Captatn J. N, Culver of Milford Appointed Adjutant General to Succeed General Colby. (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 17.—(Special.)—Lincoln 18 & deserted city today, so far as legis lators are concerned arly all the mem- bers have gone home, both houses having adjourned Friday until Monday. The week Just closed, which is the second of the ses- slon, was an extremely busy one and the indications are that next week will be still more g0. A great deal of real work al- ready has been done and the foundation 1a1d for a long, steady grind. In the house 145 bills have been introduced and In the sanate fifty-six. These meagures, many of them, have heen given their second reading and are being placed in the hands of the committees, which will get down to work immediately and by next week have some of the bills back in the houses whero they originated, for further disposition. 014 members of the legislature and vet- erans of the lobbles why have watched the workings of many Nebraska legislatures, say none efer showed greater business symptoms at the outset than the present one, Apparently there is no disposition on the part of any (g prolong and put off what can be done “now," but the pregalling sen- timent evidently Is to facilitate the m chinery of lawmaking to cvery possible de- gree. This was manifest in both house and sen- ate Friday when the matter of adjourning was taken up. It required several different motions and a lot of parliamentary spar- ring to fix the time, there being such a de- termined spiMt of Industry prevalent in each body. A large contingent In each house wanted to hold a session Saturday and then meet Monday morning, and in the lower body especially this movement came | very near carrying, but it was finally shown that the stage of proceedings did not war- rant that as, the most feasible plan, and adjournment untfl Monday, with no sesstons Saturday, was taken Spekker Mockett sald todav that he looked for a tireless weck beginning Mon- day and thought the house would be in sesslon every day. The preliminary work has been 5 facil- itated,” he said, “that the committees will be enablgd to handle the bills with great dispateh. I look for a business session to the end."” Expects Revenue Legislation. Speaking of the all-important matter of revenue legislation, Speaker Mockett to- day said: ’ 1 have no doubt that the necessary legislation will be enacted along this line. 1 think there is no disposition’or desire to shirk this or any other duty. But I am of the opinion that our greatest need In the line of amendg our revenue laws. lles in the matter of providing adequate means of enforemg our present statutes. I do not know why that would mot meet the demands fully and satisfactorily. I am of the impressfon that our revenue laws at present are not s0 bad as some might imagine and I belleve the greater number of those people who are familiar with these Jaws will agree with me when I say that we need a better enforcing clause and not a completely new mset of revenue statutes. “hero may be some revisions that could with profit be made. 1 do not care to speak flaally as to that” There bas been more or less talk since the adoption of the Sears resolution side- tracking bullding appropriation measures for the revenue bill of the futility of such & move. The position has been taken that when the matter tomes to a “showdown" fhe Sears resclution could not be made Vinding on the house, even though it was ccopted, In an amended form, by an over- whelming majority. Yet what the result will be remains to be seen. It certainly is a fact, plain enough for anyone to Hee, that bueking the Sdars resolution is not golng to NEW LIFE TO MEN.

It pro- | vides that bills carrying appropriations vnr‘ new state inetitutions shall not come to their third readin and be placed upon | thelr passage until a Yevenue law abail | have been enacted. This 18 a plain amend- | sent of the rules. As the resolution was | amended allowing a right of way for bills which provided apprapriations for repair- fng or rebullding state structures, it will | devolve on the speaker to announce each time, when the order of third reading of billa Is reached, “except bills carrying ap- propriations for mew siate institutions.” | “And there is where some fun will come in," remarked Speaker Mockett today when being questioned about this matter. | “It fs not for me to express an opinion | as to the binding effect of this resolution he sald, “and since 1t was adopted by such | a pronounced majerity, and therefore | seemed to meet the utmest approval of the members, 1 would not care to question its binding effect in the matter of- changing the house rules, but 1 can easily see where the fssue will arise.” In connection with the proposition of revenue legislation some significance was attached Friday to the coincidence of both house and semate adopting resolutions to submit to a committee from each body the onecrous task of drafting and introducing revenue bills and the presence at the cap itol of three very important state politi- clans, John N. Baldwin, Lee Spratlen and Ben White, repr ing, respectively Union Pacific, Burlington and Elkhorn in- | terests. Mr. Spratlen is making his tem- porary headquarters hewe during the ses- | ston, but the other two gentlemen came | from Omaha Thursday and returned evening. Several leaders of each ve stated, however, that tiis plan meete their warmest approval and there ral certainly 18 no reason to doubt the g favor of the method In view of the vote o the two houses by which tbe plan was | adopted ! Iiness Complicates Matters. John Wall, chiet clerk of the house, is still confined to his room gnd it is feared | he is afMicted with appendfcitis. If this | prove true, his absence from duty for somo time 18 a foregone conclusion. This brings up a question of a serious nature with ref- erence to the work of the house. The chief clerk is the man who signs the bills in the house and it fs mot just clear, in case of his physical inability to perform this duty, | what disposition would be made. Whether the law would permit the first assistant | chief clerk to sign in place of the chief | clerk does not seem definitely settled. An | opinion trom Attorney Genecal Prout will | be asked in case the emergency arises. Calver Succeeids Colby. Captain J. H. Culver of Miltord was this morning appointed adjutant genmeral by Governor Mickey, but just when he will as- sume the duties of the office has not been announced. Captain Culver has had an| interesting war record. He is prominent | in the Grand Army and Loyal Leglon, a | veteran of the Spanish and Philippine wars and will fittingly represent these different organizations. For the last ten or twelve | years he has been a member of the Na- tional Guard and s well posted in modern tactics. He was the first commander of the Old Soldiers’ Home at Milford and made a splendid record for an economical | administration. Captain Culver is an Ohloan and was born In Mercer county in 1845. He enlisted in Company K, First Wisconsin, as drummer in 1861 and served through the war, return- ing home a colorbearer. In 1869 he came to Nebraska and began teaching school, | having in the meantime taken a course in the University of Ohio. With H. G..Par- sons he established the first newspaper in Miiford, and later was postinaster of that town for eight years. In 1887 Captain Cul- ver organized Troop A, Nebraska National | Guard, and commanded it until 1808. He was called out in the Sioux Indian out- break in 1891, and in 1898 was mustered Into the Third volunteer cavalry, U. 8. A., one of the three Rough Rider regiments camped st Chicamaugua, was mustered out at the cloee of the Spanish war and recori- missioned as captain In the Thirty-second infantry, United States volunteers, and saw active service in the Philippines with this regiment. He was wounded, and after recuperating in the United States, returned to the islands and was euperintendent of the establishment of American schools in the provinces where he served. He had three soms in the Philippine war and four in the Spanish, the oldest now being a com- missioned officer in the regular army. The family has five commissions signed by President McKinley. Captain Culver was {nstrumental In se- curing for Miltord its only rallroad, the largest flouring mills in the state, the State Industrial Home and the Soldiers’ Home. He was past commander of the Grand Army of the Republic in Nebraska in 1896-97.

The presence of Mr. Collyer, it 1s said, will lend much interest to the meeting and he will be asked to judge the exhibits. Pring Up Old Claims, More claims that were not paid by the last legislature are being filed with the state auditor for consideration of the pres- ent lawmakers. Among those filed today are the following: W. A. Messick wants $1,184 for fees as stenographer for taking the evidence in the case of Fred Youngs gainst C. M. Hunt, and C. Rohwer against C. T. Johnson, contesting for seats in the legislature. Benjamin Green wants $195 because he said a sewer overflowed in Lancaster county and damaged his crops and land to that extent C. E. West has filed a claim for $105 for publishing the constitutional amendments in the Thedford Banner. Rosa C. Scott, who was a stenographer in the office of the labor commissioner, wants §525 because she sald she was paid less than any stenographer in the state house and that the labor commissioner { rocommended that the legislature appropri- ate $1,600, and it only appropriated $1,000. She asks for $525. Mrs. Eva Hagen, aged 26 years, al- tempted to take her life last night by the laudanum route. She was found in an un- conseicus condition and her life saved by the prompt arrival of physiclans.
