LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
The armv of nlace hunters is some
what diminished. The-swearing train
went out last Friday afternoon.
Mrs. M. R. Mort?an. of the Alma
News-Reporter, was one of the disci
ples "of the quill who gladdened this
office by her presence last Monday.
S. E. Keene, time keeper of the house
has also been made custodian of all the
rooms. This makes Mr. Keene one of
the most important employes about the
state house. And he deserves it all
too. He is one of the brightest -oung
newspaper men in the state.
The editors have not been forgotten
by the independents in their distribu
tion of patronage. Eric Johnson, chief
e'erk, and Ed. J. Hall, first assistant
clerk In the house, S. E. Keene, time
keper in the 6amo body, B. S. Little
field, second assistant cecretary of the
senate, and various other dUctples of
the quill have ben rooogn:zcd.

The independent victory in th

complete. On Wednesday morning the
independents with the aid of thn dmn.
crats completed the organization of the
senate. -
It was plain to the most ohfusA
holder Wednesday mornincr t.w. any
thing was in the wind. In fact, it had
been rumored all the
and that mornlnsr that the indWnnf

auu uemocrats of the eenate had come
to an understanding. The rphnhH-
were in a terrible flutter. Tom Main
was consulting first with soma wn..hi.
cans and thn with Matte?, of Otoe.
At last, half an hour later than proper
time, Tom pulled himself tojrotw.-..
called the senate to order and thMhhe

wouldn't work. Then they made an
open offer to the democrats to organize
