McKesson objected to Sprecher's request that his explenation be spread upon the sens ate journal, and by so doing raised a con- troversy in which some feeling was engen- dered. - Dale insisted that it had been the general custom to permit semators to have the explanation of their votes spread upon the journal. The lleutenant governor ruled that It a single senator objected it would require a vote of the senate. Dale thereupon moved that Sprecher’s explanation be spread upon the records in full, and on a yea and nay vote the motion was rejected. Stewart called the atlention of the lieuten- ant governor to rulo 29, which provides that “a brief statement of the contents of each petition, memorial or paper presented to the senate” shall be inserted In the journal. In response the lleutenant governor held that under the construction of rule 29 a mere statement In the journal that Sprecher had offered an explanation of his vote was all that could be admitted.

Ager held one of his justly celebrated senatorial caucuses tonight at the Hotel Lindell. In the senate this afternoon when Watson’s bill substituting the national law for the state law requiring the equipment of railroad cars with automatic couplers was up for consideration, the trend of the debate between Watson and Caldwell indicated that thero was a sad lack of unity of action and purpose. As the debate progressed it was scen that the railroads were likely to be knocked out in their efforts to practically give the State Board of Transportation power to nullify the act. After some difficulty Watson succeeded in having the bill laid aside for future discussion. Then it was that Colonel Ager passed the word for a ‘‘con- ference.” The republican senators gathered first in the rooms of R. B. Schneider, but afterward adjourned to an upstairs room. Colonel Ager himself was present for a short time, but afterward withdrew. For half an hour the conference progressed without any head, and then Pope, regular chairman of the republican caucus, took the chair and the conferenco merged into a caucus. After a Iree-for-all discussion, it was generally agreed that the provisions of the raflroad bl giving the State Board of Transportation power to :xtend the time for its going into effect should be retained, and other provislons about which tho railroads cars but little knocked out. There were also a few references to telegraph and sleeping car legislation. Tho discussion then drifted into a general talk in regard to party action over the prop- osition to take all appointments out of the hands of the governor and placing them in the hands of a board of state officers. The bill taking the appointment of the Omaha Fire and Police Board away from the gov- crnor alo came in for incidental discussion, It was felt advisable to call a joint house and sencte caucus, and a committee consist- ing of Senators Pope, Sloan and McKesson was appointed to arrange the matter. The joint caucus will be held at an carly date, tomorrow night 1f possible. that Had to Be Attended To. SEED GRAIN SHARKS ARE ACTIVE Cormorants Preparing to Feast on Drouth Stricken ¥armers' Misfortune. LINCOLN, Feb. 19.—(Special)—The house has passed the bill to provide for purchasing seed grain on time and to create a lien on the crops grown from the same. The bill was introduced by Representative Judd of Boone county by request. On its face it Is a bill designed entirely for the benefit of the destitute farmers in the drouth stricken districts of the state, and it seems to meet the exigencles of the present crisis In some of the agricultural counties of the state. It prescribes the form of a “special seed grain note,” which gives the man who sells the sced a lien upon the crop of grain raised therefrom, and it provides for severe penalties for the violation of any part of the act. It provides, for instance, that when the “special seed grain note” is filed in the proper county office in the county in which the grain is to be sown the owner of the note shall thereby be vested with all the rights of the holder of a chattel mortgage upon the crops grown from such seed, and the same shall be a first lizn upon such crops, whether they are growing, matured or gathered and stored The bill is really more in the Interest of the men who sell the seed grain. In the first place it nowhere limits the rate of interest which may be charged to the farmer who ‘purchases the seed. In the judgment of many the law should specifically fix the interest rate. Some favor a rate as low as 6 per cent. Others clalm that good sced | would not b2 furnished at so low a rate of interest. These latter urge that the rate should be fixed at 10 per cent with an iron- clad provision to the effect that if more than |10 per cent ghall be either exacted or obtained, elther directly or indirectly, the whole loan shall be forfelted The passage of this bill by the house calls | out some interesting information concerning the methods of certain firms and individuals who are taking advantage of the present distress in Nebraska to enrich themselves at the expense of the farmers. KFor the purpose of illustration the following letter will serve It Is written upon @ letter head, upon which is printed the words: “W. A. Morton & Co., Dealers and Loaners of Pure Northern Seed Wheats.” The full text-of the letter 1s as | follows, the name of the party to whom it is addressed alone being suppressed the EDGAR, Neb., Jan. 8.—Gentlemen: I and some of iy friends have been engaged in a little business enterpriso in western Kan- sas and Nebraska and eastern Colorado, o scale sufficiently large to e as A paying Investment you would be [nterested in country seeded, thought it ad- Iapaifie plan before vou furnish seed wheat to rs under contr ts (sample en closed), and as compensation to_have one-third of all grain raised therefrom, de- | livered at a slekignated rallroad station.

Al- to PHELPS COUNTY'S TROUBLE, It Bonds for Seed Grain Carry They Wil Probably He Void. - HOLDREGE, Neb., Feb. 19.—(Special Tele- gram.)—There is considerable trouble here over the question of voting bonds for seed. The county supervisors met February 9 and called the elegticn, to vote bonds February 21, Under this call the voters living in the city are disfranchised, as the registration law provides for a revision of the general regis- tration for al] speefal elections, and the same has to be made on the Friday and Saturday of tae second week ' and the Saturday of the first week preceding the day of every such clection. Under the call of the supervisors there was not sufficient time between the dato of the esll and the day set for election to make the revision. If the bonds carry doubts are entertained of their validity. A gentleman from St. Francis, Kan., was here the firstof the weck and bought two car loads of seed ‘wheat of the farmers in one afternoon, and he'stated that he saw enough wheat while he was out to seed the county, This does not Jooki as it Phelps county would be in need of ke bonds, Tate Gul.ty of Furgery. BEATRICE, Feb. 19.—(Special Telegram.)— The jury in the case of Wiliam K. Tate, charged with forgery and uttering forged paper, returned a verdict of guilty on the last charge.

One of them was di posed of at a grocery establishment and the young man was attempting to dispose of the Gther at another store when the assistant cashier happened in and the check being referred to him was pronounced a forgery and steps were at once taken to arrest the offender. This is perhaps not his first ex- perience in crime, as he s known to have salled under several aliases, his true name being Adolphins Brown.

After he became quiet an effort was made to ascertain where he procurred his liquor, but without avail. It has been since learncd that he was sent to a saloon by a relatiye to get a bucket of beer, and instead of returning with it npmnpmm it to his own use, An attempt will be made to locate the party violating the state law and city ordinance by selling intoxicants to minors, and proceedings will be institute Phelps County Fnjoined, HOLDREGE, Neb., Feb. 19.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Judge Beal granted a temporary in- junction today against the treasurer of Phelps county, enjoining him from collecting $426 from the B. & M., on the ground that the levy made by the Board of Supervisors i3 excessive and lllegal, amounting in all to 17% mills on the dollar valuation for county revenue, whereas the law only authorizes a maximum levy of 16 mills.
