rrronl a 8ta(T Correspondent.) '
LINCOLN, Dec. 17. (Special.) While re
publican members of the stite legislature
re figuring out a program and discussing
the selection of officials to serve during
the session, the report come to Lincoln
that the democrat are not Idle, but are
lino getting very busy on a program, and
their program Is being arranged with an
) to the future. The report is that the
democrats Intend to offer bills as soon as
possible after the session begins covering
practically every plank In the republican
platform. Ily this plan they hope to either
force., the majority to vote for minority
Mils or for the majority to kill the bills.
n the tnlxup, however, they hope to get
the republicans to fighting among them
selves and thus prevent any Important
legislation now demanded by the people.
Bhould the republican majority pass a
minority measure, the democrats two years
from now, would claim the credit of any
(rood measure passed, or should the ma
jority kill a democratic measure that is
ound, and then fall to pass a bill equally
as good, the democrats again would have
good campaign thunder.
It has been suggested the only way to
head off this contemplated action of the
democrats is for the republicans to stand
together and select a Joint committee to
ret up the bills desired and then to kill the
democratic measures should the two parties
Introduce measures of the same character
Inasmuch aa the people have voted con
fidence In the republicans and have selected
republicans to carry out the reforms de
manded, a well known republican has
Suggested that sincere democrats will work
with the republicans, appearing before the
Committees and making suggestions, but
that they will not try to formulate any
legislation which the republicans have been
elected to enact.
Senators Visit Capital.

Hot on any particular business, he said, but

TWo vouchers have been filed with, the

I3y what authority the asylum sent em

Talk of Inaugural Hall.
Governor-elect George L. Sheldon Is liable
to have to undergo some pressure from
the society people of Lincoln, who, sonic
time ago got Into politics far enough to be
on good terms with state officers, about an

be remembered, refused to permit himself
to be danced Into office, as a good Meth

cases. Mr. Greene, for the railroads, also
stipulated that If the railroads lost In the
supreme court on the 1904 taxes they would
abide by that decision also for the 1905 and
Wii taxes. The state, however, Is not
bound to be governed by that decision so
far as It is concerned In the 1905 anil 190(i
tax cases, because some other elements
enter Into those tax levies which did not
enter into the f.H levies.
Attorney General Brown returned to Lin

satisfied with the status of the enses.

DRIVER MAKES UNIQUE KICK
Complains Because Street tar Tracks

lar Wuaon.
The driver of a light coal wagon sprung a
new one oil the street railway Monday
morning. It happened at Twenty-fourth
and Cuming streets. Cuming street Is
only KJ0 feet wide at that Intersection, so
this driver had to drive on the tracks. He
got along very nicely until he reached the
switch at the Junction of tho car tracks.
Here the off front wheel of his wagon
connected with the groove and a perma
nent, steam-tight Joint was made In a Jiffy.
Wagons and street cars and other vehicles
collected and some people animadverted on
the general cuswedness of a street railway
company that would lay a track that
couldn't be used by coul wagons of all
classes with impunity and in security.
Finally a crowbar and some cuss words
loosened the clutch of the switch on the
tire and all went merrily along their way
to Christmas.
