"The 'Jack-pot' fund has been In ex istence sinco 1897," said Governor Do noen. He sketched bow tho legisla ture is organized, the committees namod and how things dragged slowly until tho rush of the final few days when everything went through or was killed in a rush. "The 'regulator' bills ore disposed or then," he said. "Some are killed outright Others are sent again to committees on the theory that they cannot stand an extended coroner's inquest. Tho theory is that the money Is paid, accumulates in the hands of several men and finally distributed." "Who contributes?" asked Senator Jones. "I don't know." "Havo you over heard?" "Oh, yes; the rallroadB to protect themselves, tho gas companies ot Chicago, the electric light companies, the liquor interests, the Union Stock yards company, the grain elevator companies, tho Pullman company and posslblr othora." Governor Deneen told of a meeting of railroad presidents he had been asked to attend in Chicago during the Forty-sixth general assembly. He mentioned Messrs. Harahan, Earling, Miller, Hughltt. Wlnchell and Felton B8 being there. "They said itn dcsjsad."-a the leglslature meant confiscation," he as serted. "They declared the govern ment scrutinized them so closely that they could not set aside money In that way. I told them to come to Spring Held and protest. They came, 1,000 strong, and defeated the legislation." Oovernor Deneen denied the chargo made by former Governor Yates that he had "double-crossed" him. Ho aald that he had not promised Yates he would support him for United States senator. Concerning the famous Hlnes-De-neen long-distance tolophono conver sation, the morning of Lorimer's elec tion, Governor Deneen said: "Mr. HincB called me up and asked me If I had received a message from President Taft, to support Lorimer. I said I had not received It, Hlnes said his train was late, and he bad missed connections or he would have como down to Springfield. "I said, 'that's rather a remarkable message for the president to send.' "Hlnes said that President Taft was to send tho message through Senator Aldrlch and that George Itoynolds of the Continental Commercial National bank was to call mo up and tell me about it" Governor Deneen said w never beard trom Reynolds, he did not toll Hlnes he would support Lorimer, and there was no discussion about recog nizing Hlnes' voice, as Hlnes had pre viously testified. "I doubted If it was Hlnes. I Jub( accepted It as one of those anonymous communications." The governor said that he did not know Senator Aldrlch, and had never hod a communication from blm. Ho tald there was no talk of monoy in tho conversation with Hlnes. DR. WILEY MAY BE OUSTED It Charged With Arranging for Pay ment of Food Expert More Than Law Allows. Washington. Dr. Hnrvoy W.

SENATORS REACH AGREEMENT Action on Wool Tariff Revision and Other Important Measures to Be Taken Before August 8 When Qavel May Fall. Washington.

The ngreement following a series of conferences between Senators Pen rose, La Follette, Martin, Smoot, Bai ley, Stone, Burton, Borah, Brlstow, Bourno and other senators was formal ly offered In tho senate by Senator Penrose aB leader of the Republicans. Tho original suggestion for an agreement was mado by Senator La Follette, who was willing to fix an earlier dato than that named for the vote on reciprocity. The demand for a later date was made by others who desire to speak on the bill. Many obstacles to fixing the sorles of dates were encountered. Senator Borah Insisted on a dato for consid eration of a conference report on the Joint resolution , for the election of United StateB senators by direct voto of the people and tho vote on state hood was fixed for the "legislative day" of August 7 Instead of the calen dar day of that dato In order to pro tect tho popular election bill.

"Wo think amplo time has been allowed for tho debate of nil meas ures." said Senator Martin. Senator La Follotto ngrccd that all Interests in the senate had been con sulted and that It had been deemed wise to ugreo on dates when all the Important bills now ponding could be disposed of. Tho agreement to voto is so drawn that amendments may be voted on at any time Senator CumminB introduced new amendments to tho reciprocity bill. One sought to couple a revision of the tariff on metals with tho Cana dian measure; the other proposed a revision of the duty on oilcloth and linoleum.

COST OF THE ANIMAL'S KEEP Valuable Information for the Nebras ka Farmer. Other Matters at the State Capital. Tho Nobraska Experiment Station has Just Issued Bulletin No. 121, on titled, "Growing Hogs In Nobraska." This bulletin Is dlvldod into two parts. Part I. Part I gives a summary of the cost of growing young pigs to tho weight ot 50 pounds. Tho ltoms of cost taken into consideration include tho coat of keeping tho bow for an entlro year, charging for tho paaturo and tho groin eaten, both by tho sow and by tho Ut ter, up to tho tlmo tho litter roaches an avorage weight of 60 pounds. On this basis tho cost Is about $18 to $20 for keeping old sows, and $20 to $22 for gilt or sows farrowing their first llttor. This coat Is partly ropald by tho Increase in weight of yearling and two-year-old sowa. After deduct- lng the value of tho growth of the sows, tho not cost to bo charged agatnBt the pigs Is from $9 to $12 per litter when thy roach tho 50-pound average weight. Tho averago number of pigs far rowed In these experiments was 9.8 pigs for old eows and 8 pigs for young sows, Tho avnrago number per litter at tho cIobo ot the oxporlmont was 6.5 pigs for old sows and 6 pigs for young sow. In the test, 44 old sows and 50 young sowa were used. Tho cost of feed charged up against eaoh pig at CO pounds wolght was $2.13 as tho avorago ot all sows for two years. This makes tho cost ot producing pigs up to 60 pounds $4.26 per hundred, which is somewhat higher than the cost of gains after that weight, provided the pigs are oeconomically fed and eold when they reach about 225 pounds weight. To reduce the cost of the figures given in this bulletin, the yearling and older sows woro kept upon pasture alone during tho pasture season after weaning their UtterB and upon rations of about one-halt alfalfa hay amTon half grain during -the winter season. In winter, for each 100 pounds weight of the mnturo sows, ono and one-holt pounds of grain was tod dally; that is, If ton sows weigh 3,000 pounds thoy would require 45 pounds of grain doily, with on equal amount of nlfalfo hay fed elthor In racks or cut and mixed with the grain. Upon theso rations the sows galnod 112 pounds each during the winter season up to farrowing time. The gilts required liberal foodlng during tho summer on pnsturo nnd during the winter following. From 2.5 to 3 pounds of grAln, generally corn, was fed for oach lfco pounds llvo weight of tho pigs while thoy woro on pasture; that Is, 10 pigs weighing 1,000 pounds received from 25 to 30 pounds of grain doily. Ten pigs weighing 1,500 pounds received from 88 to 45 pounds dally. Part II. Part II deals with the cost of grow ing pigs from weaning time, or about 60 pounds weight, to tho time they aro taken from alfalfa pastures and put into the feed lot. Seven hundred and ninety-two pigs aro Included in those tests, which covor several years' work. In general, theso pigs woro fed less than a full groin ration, moat ot them receiving two pounds to 2.5 pounds grain dally for oach 100 , pounds llvo weight. The average cost of the grain and pasture In growing theso pigs was $3,30 per 100 pounds. It will bo aoon that this cost is lower than tho cost of producing tho 50 pound nlff. nnd It is also lnwnr Minn I tho cost of finishing tho pig for mar I kot after ho Is placed in winter quar I ters. Aocordlng to figures which will t bo presented In a subsequent bulletin, tho cost or feods per 100 pounds of tain with pigs in dry lots it $3.57 por hundred, figured upon tho somo cost for feed as that used In Bulletin 121. This bulletin may be had free ot cost by rosldents of Nebraska upon application to the Nebraska Agricul tural Experiment Station, Lincoln. E. A. BURNETT, Director. Made Postal Depositories.

She was ar rested because she had a horae ot Ue description of the horse stolen from Jim Squires, and then It was learned that the horae she bad wa stolea at Dayton.
