LINCOLN. March 1. (Special.) The
story of the separation 6f a husband and
wife, the remarriage of the latter, the
death 6f the former and finally the locating.
years after, of their son, Id claim a portion
of the estate of his grandparents, will be
told in the supreme court Tuesday In the
case of E. N. Bailey, guardian of Claude
W, Mason, against Thomas B. Garrison,
guardian of Clauds . W Mason. The plain
tiff seeks to prevent the defendant secur
ing $500 which he had paid Out in at
torney's feea lQ settling Up the estate. Tho
tory differs from fiction only In that after
everything was settled to the satisfaction
ef everybody th guardians are squabbling
over a portion of the money. The case
came to the supreme court from Ord, Neb.
Xlaude W.i Mason, a long-lost son and
heir. Is the cause of all the .controversy.
Shortly after he waa born to the wife of
Walter C. Mason his father and mother
separated. The father came to Ord, Neb.,
from Geneva Lake, Wis., and Joined his
parents, N. H. and Melissa Mason. The
mother and the Infant son, Claude W. Ma
son, removed to Sac City, la., where she
waa later married to. a man named Miller.
Claude W. Mason then took the name of
Miller and wax known as Miller's son. In
the meantime Walter C. Mason, the father
of the boy, posed as a single man In Ord,
and the fact that he was ever married waa
known only to one person outside of the
Meson family. During his residence In Ord
Walter C.' Mason lost all track of hla
former wife and his son and later died
there. In 1899 N. H. Mason and Mellsa Ma
son went to Massachusetts. N. H. Mason
died there and y Alfred Mason, another son,
was appointed administrator of hla estate
with a will attached. During the settle
ment of this Mrs. Mason died and Alfred
Mason was appointed administrator of her
estate.
Pending the settlement of the estate A.
Norman, an attorney of Ord, learned of
the fact that Walter C. Mason' had been
married and had a living son. After much
difficulty he located the boy at Sac City,
la., where he waa known as Claude W. Mil
ler,' having taken the name of hla step
father. Norman found all the car-marks
of a Mason on the boy and the fact that
he waa the grandson of the dead Mason
waa duly proven. Then-Thomas B. Garri
son was appointed guardian of the boy In
Nebraska and B. N. Bailey waa appointed
guardian In Iowa. Garrison made a verbal
contract with Norman to assist In settling
the estate and getting for the boy his share.
After thla waa 'done Garrison, according to
his agreement, paid to Norman $500 out of
the estate.
Then Garrison and Bailey got together
to make a final wlndup of the affair. Bailey
objected to allowing Garrison credit for the
$500. Garrison obtained Judgment In the
county and district courts and ' Bailey ap
pealed to the supreme court. The boy's
share of the estate was something over
$10,000. '

Knanr Beet Bounty.
. NORTH BEND, Neb.. Feb. 28. To the
Editor of The Bee: I notice In your Issue
of the 27th Inst, an article entitled "Beet
Sugar Bounties," and in this I fail to find
one word about the 1896 bounty due the
beet growers or the state.
It Is well enough tor Mr. Ferrar to say
that $48,000 Is all the money paid. out by
his company on bounties for the years ot
1896 and 1896, but the fact ia It did not
pay out one dollar for the 1896 bounty.
after having agreed to do so in the con
tract for that year, providing the legisla
ture would make an appropriation for that
purpose.
Now, why should the beet growers' ot
1896 think Oiere waa any mere doubt of
their getting the $1 per ton extra when
they grew their erop than there would be
of the sugar company's claim not being
allowed ?
Mr. Ferrar was very careful last Decem
ber to retnse to give the names and post
office addresses of the 1896 beet growers,
because they desired to organise them
selves and send representatives to the
legislature to look after their own Inter
ests. I suppose he had in mind that It
would be easier to get an appropriation for
$48,000 than for $118,000.
There is no doubt but what be state
honestly owes the Oxnard people $18,000,
but it Just as honestly owes the farmers
$65,000 for the 1896 bounty. This particular
season happened to be one of the beat for
the beet growers and the test was very
high, but the sugar company, for some
reason best known to itaelf, delayed the
starting of the factories, which resulted In
leaving one-fourth of the crop froien In
the ground, and proved to be a total loss
to the farmers.
Now, when we take Into consideration
that the beet growers of 1895 were only a
small part of the beet growers of 1896, It It
very plain to see that the state cannot
afford to make fish of one and flesh of
another of Its cltlxens.
In vtew of the above facts, surely no
fair minded member of the legislature can
vote to pay the Oxnard company and leave
the beet growers of 1896 holding the sack.
Yours truly, C. CUSACK.

It 1 th experience of almost every suf.
ferer that it grows worse with each ' re
curring attack, and that the family physl-
clan is powerless to give even temporary
relief. As it usually originates from a dl.

organ to a healthy condition is what la moat
needed. Mr. George E. Wright of New

Bailer's l aseatlnsr.
WASHINGTON, March 1. The house of
representatives held a four hours' session
today and jiit the District of Columbia
appropriation bill through. Us third reading
In the face of the democratic filibuster.
The previous question on the report of the
Alaska homestead bill was ordered, and
the vote on its adoption will be taken when
the house reconvenes at 11 tomorrow. That
waa the net result of the Sunday session.
Although It was Sunday by the calendar,
It was still Thursday, February 23, ac
cording to parliamentary fiction. The
democrats put a block in the legislative
wheel at every opportunity and It required
s'lx roll calls to accomplish what was done
today. Large crowds watched the pro
ceedings from the galleries.
When Speaker Hendorsoa dropped the
gavel at noon Mr. Richardson, the minority
leader, was on his feet. He announced
that there was evidently no quorum present
and that the. house could not do business
on Sunday without a quorum. Thereupon,
on motion of Mr. Payne, the majority
leader, a call of the house waa ordered.
The doors were closed and the sergeant-at-arms
was Instructed to bring In absentees.
At the conclusion of the call 241 members
had appeared, more than a quorum, and
Mr. Cleary (Minn.) called up the confer
ence report on the District of Columbia
appropriation bill. Mr. Underwood (Ala.)
attempted to Interpose a point of order
that the call bad not been completed, but
the speaker . ruled that a quorum having
appeared business could proceed.
The doors, which meantime had been
opened, wer, however, again closed by
direction of the speaker on Mr. Under
wood' point, nf order that further pro
ceedings under this call had not been dis
pensed with by the action ot the house.
After a brief explanation of the report,
against the protest of various democrats
who desired to be heard, It was adopted,
144 to 59.
There was another roll call on the
Alaskan homestead bill, which was pre
sented by Mr. Lacey (la.). Half a doien
points of order raised by the democrats
were ruled out and the chair declined to
entertain appeals, on the ground that they
were dilatory. . .
At 8:65 the house recessed until 11 to
morrow morning, with the motion to adopt
the conference report on the Alaskan bill
before It.

WASHINGTON, March 1. (Special Tele
gram.) "It now seem to be less than an
even gamble whether w can get consider
ation for the Rosebud treaty bill this ses
sion," said Representative Martin today.
My colleague, Mr. Burke, 1 watching th
matter very cloaely and no opportunity will
escape him. The democrats Just now are
filibustering against every measure, and
much valuable time I being frittered away.
There will be opportunities, I hop, to get
the Rosebud bill up under suspension of
the rule during th closing hour. I must
confess, however, that the tactic of th
democrat may defeat this, a we at many
other meritorious measure now on th
calendar."

SANTA FE WAGE PACT SIGNED
Compromise Asnreement Between
Company, and Men'e Grievance
Committee Finally Ratified.
TOPEKA, Kan., March 1. At a confer
ence today between officials of the Satrta
Fe and a committee of conductors and
trainmen the formal settlement of the wsge
controversy wss made. The freight men
receive an Increase of 15 and the passenger
men 12 per cent, effective today.
A compromise was made on the double
header question whereby the road retains
double-headera on some parts of the sys
tem and abolishes them on others.
General Manager Mudge said tonight:
Both the company and the men regard
the settlement as satisfactory in every
way. It Is the same In most respects ns
that recently consummated by other roads
at St. Louis. The only difference la that
our road makes a partial retention of the
double-header system. We are much grati
fied over the successful termination of the
negotiations, Our road was at all times
ready to grant a reasonable Increase In
wages, ana the only contention wss as to
the amount. The organisations held , out
fof a 20 pef cent Increase and the abolition
of the double-header system. Hence, the
settlement will be seen to be In the nature
ot a compromise.
The agreement signed today covered the
coast lines ot the Santa Fe system only,
but the official of the road and the mem
ber ot the grievance committee say other
agreement covering the whole system will
be signed tomorrow, as the terms have al
ready been agreed upon. ,
Today' agreement waa signed by the
general manager for the company. J. S.
Skinner for the conductors and J3. B. Bea
nett for the baggagemen and brakemen.
All Increases will be based upon ratea which
were In effect on January 11, 1902.

hood ot Railway Trainmen, have been In

Reports If Keressary. '
WASHINGTON. March 1. The house
committee on benklng and currency today
by 7 to 2, s strict party vote, authorized a
favorable report on th currency bill intro
duced yesterday by Representative Fowler.
In reporting the bill the committee says:
In addition to providing for the Issue and
circulation of national banknotes, the ob
ject of this measure is to Immediately put
back Into circulation any money the gov
ernment may collect through Us customs
receipts, as well aa through its collections
from Internal revenue.
The available cash balance now in the
treaaury Is $222,468,878. Of this amount
there Is now In national bank depositories
$150,472,424, leaving a net balance In the
treasury ot $71,994,454. The amount of
money now In the treasury available for
all purposes la $71,994,454, from which
amount. If we deduct $o0,0u0,000 as a neces
sary working balance for the treasury, we
shall have only $21,94,4M to meet the de
mand on tho treasury growing out of the
Panama transaction, which will call for
MMwO.OtiO. It Is, therefore, evident that
either the government must at once call
for $2S.0tw.iWN from the banks or, appro
priating XiO.onO.OOO from the amount, now
in the treasury, leave a working balance of
only about $22,000,000, which must be sup
plemented by collections from the various
purchasps until the amount In the treasury
la brought up to t5ft,00u,uno before an appro
priation ran be made for any other pur
pose without infringing upon what has
generally been considered a proper working
balance. It ia, therefore, evident that the
government will not have any additional
money to deposit with the rational banks
In the next seven or elftlit months. If, In
deed, it collects as much as $d0,ou0,ou0
within that time.
The amount now deposited with national
banks is $143,111, f.BX, for which the govern
ment holds government bonds as security
amounting to about $12o,oo,ou0 and about
22,0OO,ti0 of other bonds. Tne measure now
submitted provides that the government
may dejiostt any public monev. Including
thla $14.0(i0.000, with national banks, In no
case exceeding In amount 76 per cent of the
paid up and unimpaired capital of any na
tional Jjank without exacting government
or other bonds, but the government shall
nave a first lien upon the assets of such
bank and shall receive Interest on such de
posits at the rate of 2 per cent per annum,
payable semi-annually on the first daya of
January and July.
It will be seen that the effect of this pro
vision will be within the next few months,
saV certainly within a year, to release the
total amount of bonds now deposited to se
cure government deposits, vis., $125,000,000 of
government bonds and $22,000,000 of state
and other bonds, now held by the treasury
In addition thereto aa security (or such de
posits. The bonds so released may then be
used by the banks for further increasing
their bond secured circulation, which will
undoubtedly be much needed during the
coming fall months.
It Is clear that the plan proposed Is per
fectly safe and that if the rate of Interest
had been $ per cent and the accounts were
brought down to date, the amount that the
government would have received during
the past twenty-four years had the bill
been In operation would have been nearly
VAOOii.ooo, an(i tne government would not
have lost a cent.
The government should cease to be a dis
turbing factor In our business affairs. It
was this thought that moved your commit
tee to fin the rate of Interest Instead of al
lowing It to become a variable quantity, to
be Increased or decreased at the pleasure of
the secretary, a circumstance that must
necessarily result In Intense rivalry by
better criticism and constantly subject the
treasury to endleBS scandal.
The Payne bill was not called up In th
committee today. Th friend of the new
Fowler bill will urge its adoption Instead
of the Aldrich bill, should that measure
come over from the senate, and also Instead
of the Payne bill..
' Mr. Fowler introduced a resolution to
day providing a rule for consideration of
the bill reported today. This resolution
was referred to the committee on rules.
Iteporta Alaskan Land Bill.
The conference committee on the Alas
kan homestead bill presented the house to
day strike out the senate provision pre
venting the use ot soldier' additional
homestead right In Alaska, leaving th
law it now exists. It limit the use of
crip to tract not exceeding 160 acre
snd reserves from such location along
navigable or other water tract ot not lea
than eighty rods In width between such
entries. The amendment of th senate as
to commutation of homestead 1 so mod
ified that while homesteads of S60 acre
may be taken, only 160 acre may be com
muted. The senate amendment relative to
survey 1 substantially accepted.
May Legislate After Session.
A resolution Introduced In the house to
day by Representative Dalaell and referred
to the committee on rule provide for a
Joint resolution to continue appropriations
In the vent of the failure of any of the
supply bills to pass at this session. While
there Is time within which to pass all the
appropriation bills under the condition
now existing In the house, the conference
reports must be accepted In whole by that
branch.
It I reported that there la a disposition
on the part of the conferees on one or two
of the appropriation bills not to yield, and
the aim of the resolution introduced today
is to provide against the contingency of a
disagreement of any conference committee.
Representative Shettuc, chairman of the
immigration committee, introduced a res
olution for the consideration of the Immi
gration bill introduced In the senate. An
other resolution introduced by Represent-'
ative Gibson of the house committee on
