Unity second MMMffl, assera bled at noon today in accordance with Hie provision ot the constitution requiring biennial sessions to begin the first Tuesday In January, ine opening days ol a legislature are al ways marked by the utmost decorum and politeness between members Must at the MBbltl are new to theii surroundings and they have otien been likened to school boys on the first day of school. Diffidence and uecorum at first is the rule, but at the close of the session members who would not dare to speak above a whisper on the opening day may be found shouting at the top of their voices and hammering desks with lists and expressing all sorts of unparliamentary language un til they sometimes have to be called to order by a daring presiding, officer. Fifteen days before a session begins anl Bit Ma days Sftei a session ends, members of the legislature are exempt from arrest except lor treason, felony or breach of the peace. It has been suggested that this provision of the constitution is no inducement for nu n to become members oi the legislature. x Few if any have ever been accused o I treason, but the provision is assur j nee that members cannot M kid naped with impunity. Democrats in Majority. Two years ago the Democratic ma Jority in the legislature boasted that it constituted the first and only Demo cratic legislature ever assembled In Nebraska. The Populist legislature of 1891 was not considered purely Demo crat. This year another Democratic legislature is in power. Nineteen of the thirty-three senators are Demo crats and fifty-four of the 100 repre sentatlves are Democratic. LieutenaDt Governor M. R. Hopewell of Tekamah will for the third time preside over the 6tate senate by virtue of the office he holds. The speaker of the house Is elected from the membership of the house. Governor Chester H Aldrich (Bap.) will have the privilege of ap proving or vetoing bills passed by the Democratic majority and it will re quire a three-fifths vote of each house to override his veto. With only four majority in the house, there is likely to be some interesting situations, not withstanding the fact that the Repub lican and the Democratic platforms agree on some important measures. Salute to the Governor. It Is customary for the majority po litical party to organize the legislature and elect all Of the officers and em ployees. This is done the first day of the session. Wednesday, the second day, is devoted to further perfecting preliminary plans for the work of the session. Thursday is the day fixed by the constitution for the end ol the term of outgoing state officers and the beginning of the term of incoming state officers. Thursday aftemoon Governor Shallenberger, the retiring governor, will deliver his final mes sage to the legislature and Governor Aldrich, the Incoming governor, will deliver his inaugural address, it is on this occasion that the old cannon near the state house liooms out seven teen guns, the number prescribed in military regulations as a salute to a governor. The address of the lneom ing governor is thus sometimes punc tured by the roar of cannon. Inaugural Reception. In the evening the inaugural recep tion is given at the state house. Music and refreshments are a part of the program, but this year there will be no dancing, at the request of the in coming governor. Hundreds and thou sands crowd into the st::te house to gaze at the line of state officers in the receiving line ana to admire the gold braid on the uniforms of the gov ernor's military staff. The reception this year is to be in the nature of a farewell for Governor Shallenberger and a welcome for Governor Aldrich The incoming and outgoing state offl cerr generally have a place In the re ceiving line, but they admit that they are placed there mostly for the pur pose of filling space and that the in coming governor is the bis; drSWlni caul. Still they all stan.l in line for hours and shake hands rf people who pass. There will be no military display by Governor Aldrich, as he lias d id ed not to appoint a staff (governor Shallenberger has a staff of forty fi v. colonels and they will be called upon by him to give a miliary air to ths occasion. Standing Committees. Thursday afternoon it Is customary for both houses to adjourn till the following Monday or Tuesday. Dur ing t nis interim me members go to ! their homes and are admired by their constituents and receive advice as to what they should do for the state The speaker or the committee in charge of the appointment of standing commit tees also takes advantage of thU ad jou-nment to sort out the names of 100 members and place them on com mittees they do not want and give the best committees to those who did I not ask Two years ago the Demo ' rratle house took from the speaker , the pimtr to appoint i omnil'tees. but male Mm s member of a committer to perform this work. This plan is again urged by Governor Shallen berger, and will probably be followed The sennte, which Is presided over by one who Is not a member of thai body, has always selected Its commit tees through a committee chosen by a caucus of the dominant political side of the chamber. Important Work on Hand. I his session of the legislature will be tc niionted with a bill on the sub jee t oi county option, a measure which the Republican platform calls for, but M fetch is not mentioned In the Demo truth platform, yet a majority of the embers' of the house pledged them selves in the campaign to vote fur son.e sued a measure. The senate Is raid lo contain a majority opposed to such u measure, though this is denied by county option advocates. It Is be lleved the measure will have a diffi cult passage and that It will be de feated In the senate The drafting of a proposed amend ment to the legislature for the adop tion ot laws and amendments by the initiative and referendum is pledged by both political parties. Governor Shallenberger recom mends the repeal of that part of the primary law which caused his defeat and which he signed in the form of a bill two years ago, providing for an open primary. He recommends going back to the law as it existed prior to the meeting of the previous legisla tuie, with a few minor exceptions. List of Senators. First District -John H.

The old idea that a Holiday season without l ho ground Is-ing well c overed with snow means much sickness still prevails to some extent, but there are a B Wd many of us w ho prefer taking Chances With mild weather to being froeea up with the thermometer Itaading below zero. LATER - The above was put in to type last Saturday. Since then there has been somewhat of n change in the weather in these parts. It began snowing Saturday evening, with the wind blowing out of the northwest. By Sunday morning the mercury had settled down until it had passed zero, and by Monday night the weather moderated and since then has not been so intensly cold, but we are still having pretty snug winter We haven't heard any one complaining this week that the weather Is not cold enough to be healthful Miss May me Aker, who is attend ing High school In this city, was joined by her brother here, and both returned to thc; lliWa for the Hoiidaja.
