They will- visit the blind asylum nt Nebraski
City this morning and later go to Peru tt

about ten senators , the house having rcfusei
to authorize Us committees to take sucl

The legislative halls wcro practically de
serted today. In the senate Secretary Mor
gan nnd one stenographer were on duty
while the rest of the employes were tak
ing a vacation at full pay , except the scnatt
postmaster , who was on hand to distribute

members who will not go homo came ant

I The matter of grain liens for threahliiE
I the same has been given considerable at-
! tcntlon during this session , several bills hav
ing been Introduced along this line. Tester-
, day the senate succeeded In rccoinmonilln ;
, a bill for passage that gives the threshet
and cornsheller n Hen upon grain threshed
nnd corn shelled. The provisions of the
bill are as follows : .
Section 1. Any owner or lessees of a
threshing machine , or corn shelter , who
threshes grain or shells corn for another
therewith by virtue of a contract , expressed
or Implied , with the owner thereof , shall ,
upon filing the statement provided for In
the next section , have a Hen upon sush
grain for thu value of his services In thresh
ing or shelling the same from the date of
the commencement of such services.
Soc. 2. Any person entitled to a lien
under this chapter shall , within thirty days
after the threshing or shelling Is completed ,
Illo In the olllco of the county clerk of the
county In which the grain Is grown a state
ment In writing , verified by onth , showing
the amount and quantity of grain threshed
or shelled , the price agreed upon for thresh
ing or shelling and a description
of the land upon which the grain was
grown or Htorcd , Unless the person entitled
to a Hen fllo such a statement within the
time nforuHald ho shall bo deemed to have
waived his right thereto.
Sec. 3. Such n lien shall have priority
over all other llcna and encumbrances on
such grain.
Sec. 4. Upon default being made In the
payment of a debt secured by such' lien
the eame may bo foreclosed upon the no-
tlco and In the manner provided for the
foreclosure of mortgages upon personal
property nml the holder of such lien shall
be entitled to the possession of the prop
erty covered thereby for the purpose of
foreclosing the same.
Sec. 5. It shall bo the duty of the county
clerk to fllo and Index such statement or
lien upon the personal property required by
law to bo filed In his olllco the same ns a
mortgage upon personal property nnd for
such bo shall bo entitled to a like fee.
H is doubtful , however , whether the bill ,
If passed , will give grain threshers the pro-
tectlon they are demanding. As has been
eald before , the only farmers who refuse to
pay their threshing bills as n rule nra tlio
renters , who have no financial responsibility.
That IH the class of farmers that usually
have their crop mortgaged in ndvanco or
are compelled to sell at once upon harvest
ing , In nine cases out of ten they haul
their grain directly from tbo thresher to the
cluvntor , nnd the minute It Is unloaded Into
the elovutor It loses Us Identity , Consequently
quently no lien could attach to It. It would
bo Impossible for the thresher to Illo a
Hen upon each load as fast ns threshed ,
hence ho will find the proposed protection no
protection nt all from the class of farmers
who are In the habit of heating him. Farm
ers who are able to atoro their grain pay
their threshing bllla , ns they are financially
responsible and can be for.-ed to do go. It
would Germ that the bill If passed will sim
ply encumber the statutes without ever beIng -
Ing of much value as n law.

here today. Stockmen say this hllzzard fol
lowing the extremely severe weather of tin
last six weeks , will undoubtedly cause heav ;
losses In cattle and sheep. Kor range stocl
some estimate the loss as high as CO pel
cent , but with stock growers who still havi
hay to feed and shelter for their herds , tht
loss will not exceed 10 per cent.
The snow Is drifting badly and all train :
are belated. The Cheyenne & Northon
train from the north , now fifteen days overdue
duo , when last heard from was near Iroi
Mountain station. There are forty-two pas
sangcrs on this train. They were nearlj
out of provisions , having bought all tin
ranch men could spare , and had resorted tt
slaughtering range cattle. Many clfortw havi
been made to send out relief expeditions , bu
all were obliged to return for additional hell
on account of the extremely deep snow drifts
encountered.

CHEYENNE , Wyo. . March 10. ( Special
Telegram. ) Colonel F. H. Hathaway of the
quartermaster's department. United Statca
army , Is here Investigating sensational
charges made January 13 by the Denver
Times against army officers composing the
board which purchased 1,200 horses for the
Torrey cavalry regiment. The members ol
the board were Captain Vnrnum , Seventh
cavalry ; Lieutenant Stockel , Tenth cavalry ,
and P. S. 'Hoyt of this city. Hoyt resigned
early and the charges applied only to the
army ofilcerp. . .
The paper assorted they "stood In" with
middlemen and dealers ; that they rejected
horses offered by ranchmen nnd owners and
afterward 'bought ' them from middlemen at
excessive prices. The general tenor of the
articles was an Insinuation that the officers
received a "rake-off" from the middlemen.
Colonel Hathaway states that his investi
gation dlscloscfl that the charges of dls-
lionesty are entirely unfounded. Horses re
jected because unruly or vicious wore
afterward accepted when broken and trained ,
which was proper. The only cause for adverse -
verso criticism disclosed by Investigation
Is that ono member of the board was at
times unreasonable In his treatment of
: iorse owners on account of his Indulgence In
intoxicants. The Investigation will 'bo ' con-
ilnued nt all places In Wyoming , Utah nnd
Montana where horses were bought.
