Lincoln, Jan. 10.—The last of the week saw comparative quiet around the hotels but something of a rush mound the offices of the governor. While the hig plums have been shaker. Crum the tree there ts a considerable amount of fruit still clinging to th? houghs, and there are plenty stand ing beneath, not only ready to grasp what may fall, but eager that the ex ecutlve hand give the tree a shake. While other department heads un der Governor Bryan welcomed their successors and offered every courtesy. Tax Commissioner Smith did not. When Mr. Williams, the new ap pointee showed up In the office and ,ill he was really to take hold. Smith curtly told him he'd do nothing of the kind until his appointment was confirmed, and that until such time he was just like any other citizen. Smith did not offer to make the way smoother for hts successor by showing him the hooks and helping him to become familiar with office procedure. Practically all the other department heads are In their new oftices and ger.ing acquainted with the work. Committee Lists Ready Monday. chairmen of the house and senate committee on committees expert to have their committee lists all made up by Monday, so that the real work of legislating may begin Tuesday. To date no rumor has been allowed In leak out about the various chair manships. The democrats have not been con sulted to any great extent about their committeeships, and two or three would-be leaders are grouching about it. But the rank and file of demo, erntlc members express themselves as satisfied that they will be treated Justly and courteously and have no complaint to make of the treatment accorded Aem. "I had hoped,” said O'Malley of Greeley .today, "that the democratic minority could get together and work harmoniously, but It appears that it is not so to be. I guess it is human nature for some men to seek to make political capital for themselves at the expense of party organization.” Power Ij,w Ip Again. The district light and power de velopment law that was knocked out by the supreme court will come up again, Its Introducers and supporters being confident that they have avoid ed the mistakes that voided the for mer law. N'o one at this time antici pates that an Omaha municipal Pght and power hill will he Introduced by anyone actually Interested In munici pal ownership. Such a hill might IK.p up for ulterior reasons, however. Members who admit having hills ready for Introduction Insist that In most cases they are amendatory or for repeal. Scott's appellate court bill is about the only one providing for a really new law that has shown up to date. One of the big fights Is going to come over amendments to the revc nue law, and especially the pro|>o*l tlon to either repeal the Intangible tax provision or to raise the assess ment materially. The present Intan glble tax provision will have some able snd ardent supporters and its amendment or repeal Is not going to he accomplished easily. Committeeships Sought. Plaeea on commit tees ars not so eagerly sought as they wer* In the old days. In times gone by th* chair ; oian of a committee was possessed of almost baronial rlghta. If he didn't want a bill reported Its supporters had a hec|< of a time getting it out. Kven a plain or garden variety of committeeman could stall off a hill almost indefinitely, and under the old system that power was considerable of an assdt. It Isn't quite that W'av now. t'halrmen have been shorn of most of ihelr powers and committee men have so little that It Isn't worth considering at the expense of time and worry. Places on the finance, ways snj means committee of the house are very much sought after hv members who want to take good rare of the public institutions in their districts, and this committee exercises rather large powers when It ‘comes to iegls luting. Your average member is loath to oppose a Mil when he knows that hts opposition may cause a reduction of the appropriation for hts pet state Institution. The Judiciary committee handles more bills than any other committee, having to look into such matters as legality of Mils. A misplaced comma or s missing semicolon has often wrecked an other wise perfectly gopri Mil. The commit tee on hunks and bunking Is another very Important committee llnuking laws Weak.

Wymore, Neb., Jan. 6—Abraham Lincoln had nothing on Adam M* • Mullen, our new governor, who start ed a poor boy and gradually climbed. Born In New York in 1871, he first saw the light of Nebraska when, with his parents, he moved to Wymore in 1884. The town was but three years old, and had become a railway divi sion point. Perhaps It was because Adam’s father, John H. McMullen, a former New' York Central railway locomotive engineer, had a soft spot in his heart for anything* connected with a railway that the family a* t tied in Wymore. The parents were born !n Scotland | anil much Scotch Is noticeable In the, new governor. From 1SS4 to 1890 the father and Adam’s older brothers op erated a grocery store, known The Palace Grocery, on Main street in Wymore. The future governor was a “counter jumper ’ when a boy, and sold “bread and buns.” •‘mitten* and gloves, ‘boots and shoe*. ' ‘apples and big potatoes,” according to an advertise ment the store ran in early local rewspn pars. Adam graduated from Wymore1 TTIgh schools !n 1889 when 18.
