The twenty-fitth sesssion of the Nebraska legislature convened at noon Tuesday last. The fusion caucus of the night before selected nearly all the officers and employes, aud when the session opened they were in their places and both branches of the legislature started in without contusion. The house was called to order by Secretary of State Piper, and the senate by Lieutenant Governor Moore. Frank Eager of Lincoln was elected tem porary secretary of the house, and Ralph Clark temporary speaker. In the senate J. R. Hunter, oi Omaha, was elected secretary pro teni. Later in the day the house proceeded to elect the candidates selected by the caucus. The offi cers elected were: J. N. Gaflan, of Saunders, speaker: Rev. Manley. of David City, chaplain: Frank Eager of Lincoln, chief clerk; and L. A. Beltzer, of Osceola. segeant-at-arras. The officers of the senate are Frank Ransom, of Omaha, pres ident! W. F.

Judge Neville has been a close attendant at the state house, and occuDies an expectant attitude in 4. regard to being- seated as supreme judge. JTo a newspaper reporter Judge Neville stated that he was in Lincoln for a two-fold purpose; he wanted to ask the legislature to make a liberal appropriation for the Transmississippi exposition and he wanted the same body of lawmaker, to seat him upon the su preme beach. The judgeship ccn trovery will, it is said, be decided within the next week. mi POWDER Absolutely Pure. Celebrated for Its jrrent leavening strength and healthf nlnes3.

Forty thousand pounds of twenty four inch tubing- came in over the Burlington from Columbus, 0.,says the Tribune, for the Crawford citi zens' ditch, a portion of which is to be used at the dam at the reservoir, .and. the balance atthe point where the ditch goes under the railroad track, in the southeast part of town, where an inverted syphon is to be used.

The investigation of the disposi tion of the Union Pacific hospital fund which has been going- on at Omaha, has been transferred to Denver and other western points. It looks very much as if the hospit al fund had been furnishing- some high rollers with a good deal of fun at ths expense of the honest toilers on the road. The honest toilers hae done well to call for an accounting-. Senator White, of California, did ail he could for the tree silver cause, but having- been fairly beaten, he accepts the situation like a man, and says it is the duty of both branches of congress to aid McKin ley in restoring- properity. Tom Majors, Church Howe, E. Rosewater, C. P. R. Williams, Jack MacColI, E. F. Pennv and several other aerial politicians got together in Omaha this week and declared that the republican party must be revived.
