THE OMAHA DAILY DEE: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 21. 1002. TALK OF THE SPEAKERSHIP Member of Coming Legislature Coming Iito Capital to Talk it Orer. OFFICESEEKERS WAITING FOR MICKEY Cndahy romptir Baf Proprrtr oa) Which to Erect a Distributing Plant and Poultry Wr. hoaae. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Dec. 20. (Special.) Aa the time draws near for the convening of the legislature considerable mora Interest la being developed and much more talk la being Indulged In a to who will be th'i apeaker of the house and t,he president pro tern, of the aenate. So much Interest la being taken In these two positions that apparently the minor offices are being lost ' alght of. And, while there are many who preteid to forecast the organisation of both hcuses, when It comes down to bot tom facta the prognostications are all guess work. One man who is prominent In the management of the candidacy of cne of the applicants for the speakership aald this afternoon that It was Impossible to tell who would win out, but from the re ports coming to him It would be either Mockott or Thompson. Both of these men had attained some degree of leadership during the past sessions of the legislature and both were well known. While most of the talk around the ho tela la about these two, It Is by no mesne certain that either baa a cinch on the of fice. During the week DelesDernler and Sweczy have both been at the capital look ing after their Interests and conferlng with friends. Sears was also here, but what they did or what encouragement any of them received Is not known. Rouse has not been here during the last few days, but several of his friends have spoken good words for him around the hotels. Sweezy and Rouse are In contiguous terri tories and It Is not known whether that will Injure or help them. The fight for the speakership la consid erably mixed with the race for president pro tern of the senate. Since It Is be lieved that Harrison and Mockett have no deal or compromise on, It la aald that the Harrison contingent will take what It can get and allow the Mockett element to do Ita own getting. During the last few days Wilson of Pawnee county has been requested several times to allow his name to be mentioned In ccrnectlon with the speakership. 80 far Mr. Wilson has not announced his Intention. It la believed by some that this la a move to hurt Mockett, as It la likely that Wilson could get soma of the latter'a support In that part of the country. Paul Jessen was here from Otoe county during the last few days doing consider able hobnobbing with politicians, but It Is not public what he accomplished or ex pected to accomplish. In the meantime O'Neill of Lancaster Is pegging away and his friends are doing the same to land the office that Harrison wanta. Waiting for Mickey. When Governor Mickey atrlpea town Monday morning, aa he Intends to. he will find awaiting him a number of frlenda of Office aeekera who will use strenuous ef forts to have the governor announce the ramee of aeveral appointees. Among these friends are members of the National Guard, who are anxious to have a band In the ap pointment of an adjutant general. Several prominent members of the guard were In the city last night and a quiet ccn. "terenca was had between them and local members with a view to arriving at tomi understanding as to how best to reach thi governor with one of their comrades. It la believed that the wishes of the guard will have some weight with the governor and the guard doea not Intend to allow the opportunity to assist In naming the man rsrape It. There are several candidate who would meet with the approval of the guard, but the first thing the guard will Inetst on Is that the appointee be a veteran of the Spsrlsh-Amerlcan war. Amonj those who can 1111 the bill bo far as that, requisite Is concerned are: Major Glffen and Captain Ringer of Lincoln and J. H. Culver of Mliford. The friends of Adjutant General Colby still believe that he will continue to draw the salary for the office after Governor Mickey takes his seat. Notwithstanding the Impression given out by Governor Mickey that he would not appoint a atate oil Inspector until the term rf the present Incumbent has expired, It la thought that If he remains In Lincoln very long during the week this placo will be decided upon. t'adahy Ballds In Lincoln. The Cudahy Packing company has pur chased a lot at the corner of M and Eighth atreeta and in the spring will erect a tructure for the accommodation of Ita Lincoln business.

DIVORCE CASE AT COLUMBUS Dassrll-lleary Trial Oeraplea Attea. tloa of the District Coort of Platte Coaaty. COLUMBUS, Neb., Dec. 20. (Special.) District court Is still grinding away on the ! Dussell-Henry suit, in which the plaintiff, ' A. Dussf II, sues for fulfillment of a con- 1 tract mrde in Denver last March at the time of the marriage of Miss Jessie Dussell to Robert Henry, the contract being for $500 and being given for defraying the expenses of the young wife, who wss then so soon to become a mother, and tor the care ot the child. Mrs. Mr.ry A. Henry,, mother of the young groom, who made the contract, after wards refuted It on the grounds that It waa obtained under atreaa of great excitement and by a misrepresentation of the facta. Tho defense, admitting part ot the clalma ot plaintiff, wti granted the opening and closing perloda in which to present their testimony, and their first period closed just prior to adjournment last night. They at tempted to prove Mra. Henry'a excited and overwrought condition by Denver witnesses, most ot whose testimony waa ruled out on account of being merely hearsay. The prosecution Is holding forth today and numerous witnesses have been exam ined, including Attorney J. Q. Rudn. who accompanied the sheriff to Denver last Msjrch when the latter went to secure young Henry on the ground of statutory assault, and to whom the contract waa given by Mrs. henry. The attorney'a tes timony waa. In effect, that no duress waa laid on her either la the matter of making the contract or la bringing about the mar riage of her son Robert and Jeasie Dussell.
