It makes it unlawful for any one selling live stock out of any stock yards within the state to charge greater commis- sions than as follows: For selling cattle, 40 cents per head and not more than $8 per car; hogs, $6 per car, single deck, and $8 for double deck; sheep, $4 per car, single deck, $7 double deck. 'Suter has also an- other stock yards bill printed providing that all stock yards under the general cor- poration laws of the state shall be declared to be public markets, and all persons, cor- porations or companies dealing at such stock yards shall have the same rights and privi- leges with all other persons, corporations and companies. It provides also that the governor of the stata shall be live stock In- spector of the state, with power to appoint assistants, upon application of any stock yards company, who shall be known as assist- ant live stock inspectors, who shall determine what stock is unfit for market and have the same removed. The bill also provides fixed charges for weighing and yarding stock.

Bee of Furnas has a relief bill, house roll No. 25, providing that $100,000 be appropri- ated out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated for immediate relief of drouth stricken counties. The bill also provides for a relfel commission to carry out its provisions, The report of the relief committee today was that the committee has substituted a bill by Brady for house roll No. 113, intro- duced by Conaway of York, at the request of the State Relief commission, which provides for an appropriation of $100,000 for reliet work, to be distributed by the Relief com- mission. Brady's substitute, recommended by the committee, provides for an appropria- tion of a like amount, but does away with the commission and provides for the distri- bution of funds by adding to the general fund of the respsctive counties in the stricken district a proportionate share of the appro- priation, based upon the ratio of population of the county to the entire drouth stricken district. Counties included in the bill are Chase, Dundy, Custer, Hitcheock, Hayes, Frontier, Lincoln, McPherson, Logan, Sher- man, Buffalo, Cheyenne, Perkins, Boyd, Holt, Antelope, Harlan, Blaine, Knox, Howard, Greeley, Valley, Red Willow, Furnas, Gos: per, Dawson, ‘Keith, Kearney, Loup, Gar- fleld, Keya 'Paha, Rock, Brown, Cherry, Deucl and Phelps.

LINCOLN, Jan, 12.—(Special)—There ap- pears to be some mysterious influence at work in favor of delaying all measures for relief ot western Nebraskans who have suffered from drouth. Today several members ad- mitted on the floor, in committee of the whole, that they were densely ignorant as to the matter under consideration, but each of them promptly voted to adjourn till Monday, in- stead of remaining in session this afterncon and informing themselves of the exact status of conditions, It has, however, been pretty effectively shown to members that the crying necessity for legislative action is upon the subject of voting bonds for the purpose of supplying, the destitute with seed grain. This 18 a process that takes time, and if by the 1st of March the election has been held and bonds floated good time will have been made, The bills which seem to meet the most favor at the hands of the house are those authorlz- ing countles to use their own money in sup- plying their needs. There seems to be no violent digposition on the part of any one to move the wheels of legislation in the direction of donating state assistance. The members of the house seem disposed to allow the destitute farmers all the relief which they feel able to pay for in the future. Inter- viewed on this point members say they do not wish to encourage any direct charity, but rather to enable those who wish to help themselves to do so. Consequently the bills favoring a direct state appropriation of $100,- 000 do not excite much favorable comment Lamborn's bill, house roll No. 1, which was before the committeo of the whole, authorizes county boards to issue bonds of their respective counties for the purpose of purchasing seed grain and feed for teams used in cultivating the land upon which the seed is planted, Counties are permitted to issue an amount not to exceed 10 per cent of assessed valuation of the county for the preceding year. The bonds must be sold for the highest obtainable price, not less than their face value. No party shall be permitted to purchase any of sald grain until he shall have first made and flled with the county clerk an afdavit that he is actually engaged in farming, that he has no grain or feed for bis team, the number of acres he has under cultivation and the number of acres he in- tends to put in crop for the season. This must be supported by the affidavits of two credible residents of the county., All cond!- tions having been complied with, the county clerk shall furnish each applicant grain for seeding not to exceed in value 75 cents an acre. Renters of land must also secure affi- davits from owners (o the same effect. Parties who obtain seed grain fraudulently shall be deemed gullty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction be punished by fine not exceed- 4ng $100 or imprisonment not exceeding three months, Parties entrusted with the selling of bonds who fail to make a satisfactory accounting shall be deemed guilty of em- bezzlement. Persons sweariug falsely to affidavits provided in the act shall be deemed gullty of perjury and subjected to legal penalties thereof.

Suter moved a resolution that the of land is to be purchased, and the ! special order go over until Monday, Lut and $4,000 for | Chairman Conaway said that the committee on relief would be ready to report in a few minutes, and the motion was lost. Thomas sent up a resolution that Rev. L. P. Sudden be requested to appear at 3 o'clock p. m. and give information, approximation of amount of relief on hand, and facilities for transportation. On objection of Ricketts the resolution was lald over. Conaway said that his committee was now ready to report. He presented house roll No. 113, by Conaway, and a subatitute by Brady. Horst wanted to kncw what had be- come of house roll No. 1, which was a measure for relief, and had been before the house for nearly two weeks. ‘The speaker in- formed him that all relief bills were in charge of the committee and had been reported. Rhodes moved to go into committee of the whole to consider house roll No. 1. Harrison objected on the ground that he, for one, had not had time to consider the measure. Higgins called attention to the fact trat immediate measures for procuring seed were more important than steps for forwarding food and clothing. Bhere would have to be a special election called, with twenty days notice, and then the bonds would have to be floated. There was no time 1o be lost, Howard was of the same mind. He explained that by the time all arrangements were made the state would be “in the bowels” of seed time. Rhodes' motion was carried and the house went into committee of the whole on house roll No. 1, by Lamborn of Red Willow, with Howard in the chair. Munger pointed out that the bill authorized counties to issue bonds for seed in any year after the passage of the bill, thus making it a permanent measure and in force at any time, The relief bill of 1890 had limited the time of voting bonds to that year alone. The present measure threw the matter wide open. McNitt moved an amendment to agree with Munger's suggestion. The first section of the bill provides *'that the board of any county of this state shall have the authoriy to issue the bonds of their respecfive counties to an amount not to exceed 10 per cent of the assessed valuation of the county for the pre- ceding year for the purpose of raising money to purchase grain, ete.' MeNitt's amendment was to strike out the words “for the preceding year' and insert ‘“for the year 1 Debate on this motion revealed that there was a large contingent in the house in fayor of passing a bill for permanent relief, or something which should authorize counties to' protect themselves at any tim McNitt finally withdrew his amendment, and on motion of Sutton of Douglas the committtee of the whole rose and reported progress. A motlon to take a recess till 2 o'clock was fo'lowed by a motion to0 adjourn till Monday, 3 p. m., which was carried by a vote of 42 to 38, twenty members changing their vote after the motion had been defeated, WORK OF WYOMING Measure AWMAKERS, Introduced in the Legislature of W Importance to the State.

VALLEY, Neb., Jan. 12.—(Special Tele= gram.)—If there is anything in spiritualism concerning the Barrett Scott murder case It will be known in a few hours. Mrs. J. B. Ferree, the lady who telegraphed to Sheriff Hamilton of O'Nelll yesterday that she could locate the body of Scott, and the parties who murdered him, has created a sensation im this community, and everybody is wild to see a lady with such spiritualistic powers, The telegram had such an effect upon the sheriff that he arrived in Valley this afternoon to investigate the case thoroughly. He was escorted to the Ferree residence and remained thera for two hours in conversation with the pirits,” regarding the Scott murder case, Sherift Hamilton would not divulge anything concerning the conversation, but admitted that he was surprised and puzzled. After learning the name of the leader of the mob and where Barrett Scott's body now lles the sheriff requested the spirit to write its name, and was surprised to find it none other tham an old school mate who had died two years ago. Several questions were asked regard- ing people In Holt county, all of which were answered satisfactorily.” Mrs, Ferreo is very confident that Barrett Scott’s body and the’ leader of the mob will both turn up bes fore forty-eight hours, Nothing concerning the in the murder will be papers until the sherift act Mrs, Ferree states, however, that the rings leader of the mob is in a small town several miles south of Valley, and will be arrested Monday. Sherift Hamilton said that he did not belleve in spirits, but that his experience this afternoon was wonderful, and he would follow the advice to the letter. One strange incident that the spirit related to the sheriff was that thirteen men were working on the river, for Scott’s body today, which was_ true they were many miles from the body.
