to the house with numerous amendments
ono of them being a rejection of all thi
clalmo for stenographers' and attorneys' fees

The house refused to concur In the amend

pointed. Howell of Douglas moved that thi
eeiiato recede from Its amendments am
stated the only disagreement was over th (
Douglas county contest cases. He thoughi
the disagreement over so small a mattei
should not be allowed to delay the adjourn
ment of tlio legislature. In spits of hli
statement , however , the senate refused t (
agree to his motion to recede and1 on motlor
of Dcarlng of Cass a conference commlttot
consisting of Senators Howell , Spencer nnc
Johnson was appointed.
The guaranty bond bills Introduced In the
house by Rich of Douglas \\cre then placec

OX DEFICIENCY JUDGMENT 1.AW.
tr Attorney General
the Governor un Opinion.
LINCOLN , April 9. ( Special. ) The bill to
abolish deficiency Judgments became a law
at 5 o'clock this afternoon without the gov
ernor's signature. The governor asked the
attorney general for a twrltten opinion and
received the following from the deputy at
torney general under date of April 7 :
Referring to senate file No. 103 , on the In
terpretation of which you have , asked for
the opinion ot this otllce , I have the honor
to report as follows :
Section 847 of the Coda of Civil Procedure
confers upon the district court in a catc
brought to foreclose a mortgage power to
direct payment by the mortgagee of any
balance of the mortgage debt that may re
main unsatisfied nfter the sale of the mort
gaged premises. Senate IHo No , 10S repeals
this section. This would seem to clearly
take from the district court any power in
a foreclosure suit to render a personal Judg
ment nga.Inst the mortgn&or. If the only
object In passing sonata flic No. 103 was to
pi event the mortgagee from , obtaining1 a
personal Judgment In the samp action In
which the mortgage Is foreclosed It would
seem this was fully accomplished by repealIng -
Ing section 847 , and you will notice that it
expressly repeals this section. Section 819
of the code plves the court the right under
certain circumstances to render judgment
against other persons ns mell as the mort
gagor , who may bo liable for the debt. Sen
ate. tile No. 108 expressly repeals this section.
Hy repealing the two sections It seems tome
mo that the district court would have no
power In that action to enter any
kind of a Judgment or deqreo except
a decrco ordering a sale of the mortgaged
premises. Section 848. as It stood before
nenato llle No. 10S was passed , prevented the
mortgagee from maintaining an action In
a court of equity and a separate action In
v court of law to recover the debt secured
by the mortgage , unless authorized by the
court. As section 848 now reads. I do not
understand that the mortgagee must bo spe
cially authorized by the court to brln. ?
suit for the unpaid portion of the debt utter
the mortgaged piemlses have been sold , the
sale conllrmed and the deed delivered. This
flection Is a little ambiguous , but after the
s ilo has taken place nnd the deed boa been
delivered. I do not understand that the
mortgagee Is In any manner prohibited fiom
ihen commencing a sepaiute action at law
lo lecover any balance due him. It Is
only while his action Is pending in a court
of equity to foreclose that he Is prohibited
fiom commencing a separate action at law ,
unless authorized by the court. Senate
fllo No. 10S merely takes away from the
couit the right to authorize a suit at law ,
where It would now bo necessaiy to obtain
that authority. If the mortgagee nt the
present time 1ms itho light to go Into a
court of law after ho has secured his deed ,
I think IIP would still Imvo that right under
Henatn IlleNo , 108. In other words , In all
llii'so cubes where ho could subsequently
: > toserute a separate nnd distinct action -at
aw without thn consent of the couit , that
same notion could bo prosecuted under
Kenato file No , 10S.

LONG PINI3 , April 9. ( Special. ) A great
victory hae been won by these In favor of
Irrigation In the Golden Irrigation district ,
which rympijscs tlio three counties of Ilrown ,
Rock and Holt , The district has been or
ganized nearly two years , and during the last
Uui months an engineering party haa been
In Hie field establishing a survey upon which
to baar nil estimate of the cost of the ditch ,
Seine time ago a certain locality In the dis
trict , which has a private scheme for Irriga
tion of Its own and Is unconcerned for the
success and welfare ot the remilndcr of the
district , staited an Infection among the
tanners who had previously been heartily In
favor of the plan , by casting refiectlois upon
and misrepresenting the actions of the man
aging board. When they thought they had
a good following , a mass meeting1 was called
to convene at O'Neill for the purpose of de
claring against any further survey "until
u-ltrr times. " The call brought out a
arRO attendance of farmers and business
nen , and , after mature counseling , a reso-
utlon was passnl , and almost unanimously ,
that It was the tense of the meeting that the
survey and estimate be completed , but that
the expenko thereof be kept within the tax
already levied. Falling In their scheme for
( .topping the work , the. opposition Immediately
put up a ticket against the old board , v lilch
wn * nonlnated , to be voted on at the regular
election thU week. This opposition ticket
balled under the pretense ot reform and re
trenchment of e > .penscs , but was In reality
absolutely against the ditch and uonthHlng
the survey. The ticket caught a few votes
outslda the locality referred to above , tut
.he old officers were all re-elected by flatter-
ug majorities , and their past course thereby
appiovod. Tlio survey will now be continued
o coinple'bn ' , and when the estimate U In

Notwithstanding the heavy rains of the past
ten days , the moisture has soaked down Into
the subsoil so rapidly that farmers are again
engaged In field work and find the soli In
excellent condition. A great deal of wheat
s being sown In this vicinity this year ,
which action was directly occasioned by
the recently higher prices of that cereal , since
many had concluded , previously to the rise ,
not to farm any land to wheat. Owing to
the extra heavy growth of the corn last
year , considerable difficulty has been expe
rienced this spring In getting the stalks out
of the way.'and It has been found necessary
n most cases to cut and rake them , after
ward clearing tbo ground by burning. This
torn Is causing the faimers a good deal of
extra labor , it being usually possible to Ig-
lore the stalks entirely , and allo.v them to
decay on the ground.

And the peculiar merit of Hood's Sar

medicines fail. Acting thoroughly on the blood , its beneficial effects penetrate every part of
the system. Thousands of testimonials tell of blood purified , strength renewed , appetite

FULLERTON , Neb. , April 9. ( Special. )
The fifth , annual convention of the fifth dis
trict of the Christian Endeavor union met
at Fullcrton April 2 and 4. Ilaln had been
threatened for some time , and Friday evenIng -
Ing It commenced falling In no gentle show
ers , but a steady persistent downpour. This
wias disappointing to the joung people of
Fullerton , yet many of them turned out
to hear the address of Rev. A. D. Harmon ,
the state president , who is a very able
speaker. Saturday morning the rain still
continued. In the afternoon the first sub
ject for discussion , "Laborers Together with
Christ , " had been assigned to Hello Balrd ,
Cedar Rapids , but. he being unable to at
tend , his place 'was ' taken by Mr. Tully ,
delegate from the Baptist society of the
same place. "Systematic Giving , " by Mro.
Kate Thompson , Fullerton , was a well pre
pared paper wlilcu urged the n-scesslty of
setting aside a regular sum , if not more than
2 cents a week , toward missionary work.
The general discussion of how to increase-
Interest In missions , conducted by Miss
Bushnell , of Hastings , was Interesting. In
It she brought out the fact , by questioning ,
that only six persons In the house had read
a missionary book through the year.
Saturday evening's praise service was In
spiring. This was followed by a talk from
our state secretary , Mr. IncKer , on "Live
More with Christ , " and Jio did his subject
Justice.
Devotional meeting , the "Blessedness of
Entire Surrender , " commenced at 9 o'clock
Sunday , Miss Parker of Norfolk _ conducting
the services. She urged the joung people
to give all to God , or at least , ' 'to bo made
willing to bo willing. "
The convention ssrmon by Rev. J. C.
Irwln , resident pastor , was a broad and
able discussion , the subject being "The
Hand of God In tlio Endeavor Movement. "
Ho said that a. tow years ago It was un-
uaual for the voice of a person 13 or 14 years
old to be heard In the church , but now the
contrary Is the cas < j. He spoke of the BO-
clal and political problems that could only
bo solved through the church. Jio said :
"It has been said If It were not for the
Christian churches , Young People's Societies
of Christian Endeavor , the Young Men's
Christian association nnd the "Women's
Christian .Temperance union , the population
of the cities could -not controlled today.
Ho spoke of the pressure of hard times , of
how our population had changed from one-
twentieth , twenty years ago , to one-fourth
In the present time , living In cities of over
50,000 dnhabttants , and added that through
the young men and women of Uio rising gen
eration these strongholds of vice and crime
must bo taken for the Master. In largo
cities there is a saloon for every 130 people
ple while In small cities and villages for
several hundreds. He concluded by saying
that lie thought those young people would

service conducted by Mr , Anderson , district
vice president. This was followed by a
chorus of Bo\en voices , little girls 8 years
old being the singers , and they did nicely.
"What Jurlor Christian Endeavor Stands
For" was a short poem , commencing like
alphabetical rhymca , "J stands for Junior , "
and was well rendered by little Miss IJora
Weaver of Columbus. Next was a solo by
Fern Fuller of Fullerton , followed by
"Junior's In the Home , " by Mlsa Lllllo
Parker of Norfolk , which proved entertain
ing ; she said she believed In being practical ,
that the Junior who helped her mother wash
dishes , or did hla chores uncomplainingly , for
Jesus' sake , was Just as much a hero as the
soldier , or the fireman who entered tbo bum-
Ing building ; she closed with a very pleasing
yet true fairy utory of how fiome children
commuted themselves "mothers/1 falrlea ono
day when she had the headache , fishing up
every odd and end of string of anything
that had been scattered upon the floor , tak
ing care of biby and totting the table for
tea so daintily and prettily that papa thought
they must cfcrtalnly have company. Nearly
all the Juniors present pledged themselves
to try and bo that kind of fairy. Then Mr.
Anderson told thorn about the llttlo Junior
Indians ho saw in Genoa , practicing athletic
exorcises. At least , he said he hoped they
were Juniors , thcso llttlo dusky skinned boys
and girls.
"Juniors In School , " by Fred Post of
Columbus , told how the llttlo folks should
notlco the poor or bashful scholar , how they
should Invite other children who did not
attend to their Sunday school and Endeavor.
A duet by Helen Huso and Mabel Howaid
was very well rendered.
"Junior Missionary Meetings , " by Ncitlo
Godrlng of Columbus , was an Interesting
paper telling of the work of their own
society. Solo by Mr. Fisher of Fullerton waa
well received. "What Juniors Can Do for
Missions , " by Miss Bushnell of Hastings ,
was perhaps the best thing on the after
noon program , She told a story of the efforts
of two children of poverty and how they tried
to give "A Penny a Week and a Prayer" to
mission ; the little sister earning the pennies
and the younger brother , who was a cripple
and felt so sorry because ho could not earn
money for the box , putting In the prayer ,
"Tho Call of the Twentieth Century , " by
Rev. Mr. Hayes of Columbus , was a masterl ;
effort. Ho said the young people's crusade
of today was far In advance of the crusade
under Peter the Hermit , for millions were
now falling Into line. Mr. Anderson con
ducted the closing consecration meeting.
