From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Neb., April IS. The present session of the legislature is drawing to a close and possibly within 24 hours it will have passed into history. A number of the mem bers have been excused and it is hard to keep enough members in the seats to vote on bills on third read ing. A call of the house is fre quent. ' ' This morning the lower house was addressed by Col. John G. Maher, recently returned from France, where he served in the quarter master's department. v The day being Governor Mc Kelvie's birthday, he was asked to appear before the house and receive the felicitations of the members on the occasion of his anniversary. He responded to the request and made a very effective speech. Not much of interest now remains, except the impending fate of the governor's civil administration code bill. It is predicted in the event of its passage that petitions calling tor a referendum on the bill will bt circulated and this has gone so far that petitions have already been pre pared for this contingency. The co-operative bank bill passed by the house last week has been killed in the senate committee by indefinite postponement and there are a number of persons here inter ested in the "blue sky" bill pending, who wish it would meet with the same fate. During the afternoon session Speaker Dalby was presented by the members of the house with a gold headed cane. Dr. Jenison described the gift as a token of the apprecia tion of all of the members for the absolute fairness and impartiality of the speaker while he has presided over the house. ' A resolution thanking the speaker and his wife for the many courtesies they had extended the members was adopted unanimously by a rising vote. Purcell, Birdsall and Howard, all of the minority party in the house, spoke feelingly of their appreciation of the speaker's treatment and of his lovable personality. When Speaker Dalby responded there were tears in his eyes. Ensign Wright Weds Miss Mahelle Neff of Bloomfield Oakland, Neb., April IS. (Spe cial.) At the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
