NORFOLK, Neb.. Deo. (Special.)
With a feeling of mingled joy at being once
more a free man and grief at coming back
to find his son beneath the aod and at the
fact that this is the anniversary of his con
viction. Chria Relmers, at one timu a fore
most citisen of this part of Nebraska, and
formerly president of the Nellgh National
bank, has arrived home at Fierce, Neb.,
after having served a five-year term in the
federal penitentiary at Bloux Falls, 8. D.,
to spend his Christmas day and the rest of
his life.
Although now 60 years of age and bent
with the confinement of morn than four
years behind stone walls, Chris Relmers
looks' hale and hearty, and is delighted to
be again among his family and friends. A
little more than a year ago his son, Chris
Relmers, Jr., who had been found guilty
with him of wrecking the Nellgh hank and
who was serving alongside the father, suc
cumbed to pneumonia and was brought
back to Pierce for burial.
. The ' story of the Relmers' conviction,
following the wrecking of the bauk, is one
of the most pitiful in the annals of Ne
braska penitential cases. Although techni
cally held fox the shortage In funds they
were always considered less culpable than
a third party, who escaped to Mexico.

(From s Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Dc. 23 8peclal.)-The legis
lature will convene at 1! o'clock noon a
week from the coming Tuesday, ond as
the members who make Bp this legislature
have to select a United 8iatss senator,
the procedure in the matter may be of
some Interest to the members not familiar
with their work. The proceedings Incident
to the election of a senator begin on the
second Tuesday after the meeting and or
ganization of the legislature. This will be
January 17. Bach house votes separately
on that day and the name of the person
, voted for who receives a majority of the
1 votes cast In each houee must be entered
. on the Journal, or If either house fails to
give such majority that day, the facts must
be entered on the Journal. . At 1! o'clock
noon of the following day both houses meet
In Joint convention, the Journal of each
i house Is read and If the same person has
received a majority of the votes In each
house he shall be declared elected senator;
i otherwise the Joint convention shall pro
i reid to an election, and the person who re
i celves a majority of all the votes of the
I Joint convention, a majority of all the
! members elected to both houses being pres
i ent and voting, shall be declared duly
elected. In this election ' each member
votes viva voce.
With only a few days intervening from
the time of the meeting of the legislators,
there has been very little talk here as to
how the two houses will be organized. All
of the candidates for speaker and all the
candidates for president of the senate have
been here, but none of them has been able
to tell Just what strength he can muster
for the final roundup. Many of the mem
bers desire the organization to bo made In
open session, while others fear that it
would require too much time, preferring
the old-time Caucus. Both Jolir Wall and
John Westberg, candidates for chief clerk
of the house, have been here. Westberg
was here yesterday, but what encourage
ment he received. If any, Is not made plain.
He was enroute homo from Broken Bow.
I For secretary of the senate a number have
I been mentioned, though there has been no
; decided trend to any one candidate, so far
I as reported here. There has developed,
! however, a decided opposition to former
I Secretary Kiem, who held that office two
I years ago. Kiem was here recently, but
I declined to say whether he was a candl
i date, believing that It was Just as well to
come out at the last minute as weeks ahead
of the meeting of the legislature,

Emll Stoltenberg, who was convicted in
the Douglas county district court of being
the father of the child of Dorothy Kruso
and who Is In Jail at Omaha, will have
to spend his Christmus there. Chief Jus
tice Holconib this morning turned down
his application to be released merely on a
bond for his appearance, pending his ap
peal to the aupremo court without filing a
bond guaranteeing the payment of the
$1,000 to the woman, which the lower court
said he must pay. This is the first time
such a question has beer, raised before the
court and Chief Justice Holcomb has set
a precedent. It Is understood that the
father of Stoltenberg Ih a very wealthy
man and that the voting man was very
anxious to Spend Christmas "outside the
confines of the Jail, but it was against his
principle to put up the bond to guarantee
the payment of the money in case he lost
out In his appeal. . Attorney Wood rough of
Omaha made his argument before Judge
Holcomb lust night and the decision was
made this morning... Mr, Woodrough tiled
a transcript of the proceeding';.
Fight on Commandant rem.
The fight being made against Com
mandant I'enn of the'Milfor! Sol
diers' home is going merrily on, though
some of the old soldiers who are trying to
oust him are willing that he should remain
In office until his time Is out. This morn.
Ing General Oage, Judge Reese of Broken
Bow and Mr. Hibbard of Oage county,
members of the examining board, called on
Governor Mickey and told him it would
meet with their approval If Fenn was al
lowed to stay in a little while longer. The
governor Informed the committee that he
had nothing to do with the matter, as It
was in the hands of the Board of Publia
Lands and Buildings. For a while it was
the intention of. the old soldiers to recom
mend that the appointing power be taken
out of the hands of the board and vested
in the governor. They have changed their
minds about this, however, for tho reason
that they have begun to fear If that sec
tion of the statutes Is tampered with it
might mean the abolishment of the visiting
board, as that is created in the same
section.
Homes Mar Be Consolidated.
The recommendation that the Home , for
the Friendless In Lincoln be made a part
of the Mllford Industrial home may be
so strongly urged before the next legis
lature that the change may be accom
plished. It is believed that Governor
Mickey favors such a move, not only be
cause It would be much better for the in
mates but as a matter of economy as well.
He did not desire to discuss It this morn
ing, but It Is not improbable that he will
make such a recommendation In his forth
coming message. There Is plenty of room
at the . Milford institution for the recep-
