By the grace of the last legislature the festive insurance agent will be abroad In the land with both feet In the near future and there will be enough of him to go to the back and the front doors a the same time. Thla by. reason of the bill that was passed reducing the agent'a lleeuse fee from $2.00 to 60 cents. Many of the com panies are doubling the number of agents and some are filing three times the num ber of applications for agents' licenses as last year. One company that paid In $286 for 143 agents' licenses last year to date has paid $10 for licenses tor 212 agents Another company that paid $302 for 152 agents last year has already paid In $217 for 434 agents.

He has yet to appoint the South Omaha police commission, and one mem ber of the St. Louis exposition commis sion, haying already appointed two mem bers of that body. Besides he has to ap point the Iowa-Nebraska and the South Dakota-Nebraska boundary commission, a I state architect, an oil inspector and a dep uty game warden. These latter two plums are liable to drop most any time. The governor spent the day at Osceola but yesterday he said it waa not his In tention to appoint a police board for South Omaha until he had thoroughly canvassed the situation and knew Just who he wat appointing. "I want to appoint good men who will be acceptable to the people and who will do their duty." he said. So far little talk has been Indulged In with reference to the state architect, but It la presumed that before very long the woods will be full of applicants. The gov ernor has been so busy lately that doubt less applicants have thought It the wiser course to wait. Deputy Game Warden Slmpklns, who dur ing the legislature, has been shut up In a room off from the office of the state treasurer, has removed to hla old office on the aecond floor. State Veterinarian Thomas and Food Commissioner Bassett have not yet returned to their old offices. Aaxloas About Normals.
