Lite Stockmen Organize.
Nearly all ne freight officials anil
other prominent attaches cf the Omana
lines, says the Omaha Bee, are in at
tendance at the Denver meeting of j
live stockmen. Wnen they return tney j
are likely to find that Nebraska live
stock matters have taken'a rather in- !
tercsilng turn (luring their absence. !
They will learn that tne live stockmen
of this state huve been banded to- i
gether for their mutual protection.
The organization of the Nebraska
I-tve Stock Shippers association in
this city was discussed in rather ani
mated fasuion about local railway
heudquarters. In the absence of most
of the leading officials their assistants
and chief merits dec.mod to state Just
wnat move the railroads would make
regarding the new organization that
is to demand better service for the
stock trains o. the state. One railroad
was repreaento. at me atiernoon meet
ing of t..e live stockmen. Traveling
Freight Agpnt Tyrell of the Missouri
Pacific being in attendance, but at the
evening session the railroads were not
represented i-t all.
Speaking of the new association one
railroad man connected with a promi
nent Omaha line says: “We shall
meet the new organization and its rep
resentatives in every spirit of fairness, j
but I doubt if they will obtain any
concessions for the stockmen that the
stockmen could not have obtained for I
ihemsslves. So far as poor train ser
vile is concerned I believe that every
road in the state is giving the stock- |
men Just exactly as good service as the ;
business wm warrant. There ure
bound to lie complaints arise, and
when properly presented these are in
variably attended to and the difficulty
adjusted. I don't believe the stock
men of Nebraska have any great kick
coming, but we shall do what we can I
to help out the new association and ;
promote the best Interests of its mem- j
bera."
It Is learned that the railroads are
not the only Institutions the stockmen
are after, for relations between a
Humber of commission houses and the
live stockmen are to be Investigated
by the new association. The kick
against the commission men ts that
the live stock men have no security in [
their dealings with the commission
men, and several stock men are said ,
to have lost ail the proceeds of some j
big r.ales through transactions with
dishonest commission men. nain one
stockman: "There are plenty of hon
orable commission men and some of
them are my best friends. They
wouldn't harm anybody If they could, j
Hut there are a lot. of dishonest fel
lows in the samp business. I could
write out a list of 100 stockmen who
have been buncoed out of their money
by dishonest commission men. Now
here's the point. These commission
men ought to he compelled to give a
bond for security when they do busi
ness with a stoekman and handle hln
cattle. The stock yards company
makes the commission firms put up
a $10,000 bond before It will let tfifm :
do business. Not only that but the j
stock yards company Insists that these !
hoods shall he guaranteed bv * <- |
able trust company The company will
not take any individual bond. Now If
the stock yards eomnanv has this :
much protection against the dishonest |
commission men. whv should not the
s'oekman, who risks a great, deal more
with the commission man have the
same amount of protection? I am In
favor of this association taklne such j
stpns as " ill comnel the commission '
men to nuf un good, safe bonds hefnre
they can handle any live stock at all.
There is no reas—« whv the stockman j
should not he protected just aH much,
or more, than the stock yards com- ,
pany.”

Supreme Court Oeeliilon.
Lincoln dispatch: The attorneys for
the bondsmen In the Barmt Scott case
have filed a motion for a reheating In
the supreme court, there being seven
teen specifications of error cited. They
allege that the court erred in its de
rision upon the liability of sureties
after bond has been filed and approved,
anti other sureties signed without the-r
consent; and that there was an erro
neous application of the law and deci
sions of courts as to the effect of addi
tional sureties signing the bond after
It had been delivered an filed, without
the knowledge or consent of the prior
sureties. That there was an erroneous
application of the law relative to the
effect upon the sureties when the of
fice held by Scott became vacant by the
failure to approve the bond at the time
required by law. It Is also claimed
that the cases cited In support of the
decision were not applicable to the
case at bar. and thne tnere Is no law
or authority upon which Hitch decision
could he correctly based.
The ninth specification Is as follows:
“The answer of Joseph H. Bartley and
other defendants alleges that the
statutes concerning official bonds were
a part of Ihcdr contract, and they sign
ed said bond with reference to said
statutes. This court holds In case at
bar, that such statute entered Into and
became a part of the contract, which
by the signing the sureties endorsed
as their agreement. This being the
law. the case should not have been re
versed.”
Error <s claimed In the holdlngofthe
court that all that the sureties contem
plated when they signed the bond was
that it should he meredy delivered to
the county, without regard to the ac
counting or approval of the: bond, by
which act of delivery he was to obtain
and hold possession of the office, and
receive and enjoy the fees and emolu
ments thereof; and that the court erred
in holding that the sureties were
estopped oy the acts and negligence of
the county hoard in not requiring the
accounting and not approving the bond

Lincoln dispatch: The Nebraska au
thorltles are seriously concerned over
a number of communications from
stockmen in the vicinity of Hooper,
Neb., addressed to the governor, com
plaining of a new and fatal disease
among the cattle of that section of the
state. Nothing similar has ever been
seen In Nebraska, and experienced
stockmen assert that the disease is un
like anything they have ever heard of.
All the letters designate the disease as
"foot rot." Hundreds of rattle have
died recently In that part of the state
of the disease. The feet of the af
flicted animals turn black In a night,
and within twenty-four hours begin to
peal and crumble away until nothing
but the bone Is left. This disintegrates

The llunlii«‘kh of (’otigre«K.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 7.—It te prob
able that the program for the house,
which Is to be confined almost exclu
sively this session to the consideration
if appropriation bills will be varied
this week with the consideration
of a contested election ease.
It Is the purpose of the house leaders
to keep the appropriation bills to the
front In order to obtain an early final
adjournment, or as the alternative
throw the responsibility for delay on
the senate. But after the appropria
tion bill Is on the calendar for the
resent, the military academy, and It
i hotild not consume more than a few
hours.
It Is the Intention of the leaders,
therefore to fill the hiatus this week
with the consideration of the Aldrich*
Plowman contested election case from
the Fourth Alabama district. The
elections committee has divided on
this case on party lines and the Indi
cations are that the house will do the
same thing and Mr. Plowman will he
unseated.
The members on both sides have
been using the latitude allowed In de
bate extensively In the Impending con
gressional campaign this fall and
these are likely to continue Indefi
nitely. All the members are keenly
alive to the opportunities to make
political capital for themselves or
their party and this fact at any time
may upset prearranged prograins by
nlllntrincr tit,. Iw.ituo Into ennenpniin on,I
acrimonious political discussion. The
democrats and populists seem to be
directing their assaults against the
republican assertion that prosperity I
has returned to the country, so that
all evidence on this point, pro or eon.
Is likely to find Its wav sooner or later
into the eoneresslonal record for dis
tribution this fall.
The attention of the senate this
week will in all probability he divided
between the Hawaiian annexation
treaty, appropriation bills and the
right of H. W. Corbett to a seat, in the
senate from Oregon. The treaty will
probably occupy the greater share of
attention Monday, hut after that time
the committee on appronrlatlons will
claim the attention of the senate for
the Indian appropriation hill, which
it is expected will he reported earlv
In the week. This bill will provoke
considerable debate and by the time
It Is disposed of the committee on
appropriations hone to have the fnrtl.
fieatlons bill before the senate. Sen
ator Hoar will at the same time press
the Corbett matter upon the attention
of the senate as a matter of the high
est, privilege and several speeehes will
he made on It. It does not* ano°ar
probable, however that a vote will be
reached during this week on the Cor
bett resolution,
THE WHEAT MARKET.
Several Hlmrp Rallies Cheek the l>mvn
ward Movement.
CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—Last week was
me of reaction In wheat, the general
tendency of prices being downward,
though several sham rallies occurred.
The short Interest whlcn had appar
ently been almost eliminated during
the early part of the closing week In
January, was Increased heavily. Many
longs also realized on their lines. The
result of the week's trading was a nel
decline In Mav of % of a cent and In
July of 2 cents. The close of the
week, however, found the market In a
firmer position. Karly In the week
the effect of the heavy realizing of thr
week before and on Saturday and on
Monday a decline o. 2'i cents took
"lace In Mav. Most of this was on
Monday. There was a good deal of
short selling on the theorv that the
market was In for a period of mater

In Alame
da, Western Canada, before taking up
their home there visited the coun
try as delegates. They reported to
the Government of the Dominion of
Canada the result of their observations,
and from this report extracts have
been taken, which are published below:
“We have visited n number of most
desirable locations, and ure highly
pleased with the country as a whole,
It being beyond our highest expecta
tions. We llnd here a prosperous and
well-contented lot of people. They
have comfortable homes, and their vast
lleldH of wheat and other crops In addi
tion to their herds of choice cattle, In
dicate prosperity In the full reuse of
the word. In conversation with the
farmers throughout our trip we learned
fh.'lf Mid milnt'lfl* rxt > lion. Iw.vo
with very limited means, and soma
with no more than enough to
bring them here, and they are now
well-to-do. They all claim that this Is
the only country for n poor man, or
one with little means, to get a start
and make a home for himself and fam
ily. As you are aware, we were a
little shaky and undecided before leav
ing Detroit, hut have determined sln^e
I hat. we, with our friends, will make
this country our future home. It is
far from being the wilderness wc had
pictured it to he; It Is, Instead, a land
having all the facilities required by
modern civilization, such as railroads,
markets, stores, churches, schools, etc..
In fact, an Ideal home for those having
the future welfare of themselves and
families at heart.”
The Messrs. Striovskl selected the
Alameda district, Inti what they say
of It applies In a general way to most
other districts In that, vast country.
They speak of the fuel, which is to he
had in great quantities, of the water
that can be had by digging from 10 to
20 feet, and of the good grazing land
to be had almost, everywhere. There is
plenty of wood for building timber and
for fuel, while coal Is convenient, and
sells at low prices at the mines. In
driving through the country they
passed may line patches of wild rasp
berries, and say (hey can speak highly
of their flavor, as they could not resist
the temptation to stop and eat.
Having already transgressed on your
valuable space, | shall defer further
reference to Western Canada for an
other issue. An Illustrated pamphlet
recently issued by the Department of
the Interior, Ottawa. Canada, giving a
complete description of the country,
will he forwarded free to all who write
