THEY WILL BE PAID.

Legislators May Not Have to Work for
Nothing After All.
State senators and representatives will
get their mileage for this session, and like
wise their per diem. The first point is
fully settled, the other practically so.
Some time ago, it will be remembered, the
announcement was made that tho state
treasurer did not see his way clear to pay
either mileage or per diem. His grounds
were that provision was only made for pay
ing the members of the first assembly.
which had neglected to provide for the
compensation of its successors. A closer
study of the matter, however, has convinced
State Auditor Kinney that he can draw his
warrant for both per diem and mileage,
About the mileage he had no doubt what
ever, though he hesitated awhile before he
saw his way clear to pay the per dism. The
constitution provides that the members of
the first legislative assembly shall receive
Sc a day and 20 cents n mile; also that
after the first session, the compensation
shall be as provided by law. AS there has
been no law since the adoption of the con.
stitution, the state auditor holds that until
there is the old rates stand. This will, no
doubt, be hailed with some feelings of de-
light by those who have heretofore seen no
prospect for getting paid for their work
this session.

THE SENATE.
1t Meets for the Last limo in the Electric
Light Building.

1t Meets for the Last Time in the Electric
Light Building.
Owing to a misunderstanding about the
hour of meeting, the senate chaplain did not
get around at 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
and that body, for the first time this SEES
sion, got together without being prayed
over. It led to the remark that after the
harmonious proceedings of the,day before.
the mi was good enough for all inten IL
and purposes. Everybody looked cheerful
except Senator Brown. For some reason or
| other he was in bad humor with his re-
publican associates. The cause Of it was
| that he did not agree with them in the oo-
sition they took on the matter of remitting
the fines imposed on the democratic sena-
tors last session. He took no pains to con-
ceal his dislike of the action taken. His
associates. however, consoled themselves
| with the reflection that he would be in bet
ter humor by Monday.
The most important business transacted
was in regard to securing more comfortable
quarters for a place of meeting. State
treasurer Hickman, who was present, was
asked to give his opinion about the matter.
He explained that at the time the governor
and himeelf rented the room they were told
the machinery below would be taken out by
Jan. l. This had not been DONE. He could
see that the room was an unpleasant one
and he didn't blame the senators for kick
ing. The room where the democratic
house had been meeting was rented for
$3.50, and had to be paid for whether it was
used or not. If the senate wanted to use
that room everything would be moved and
in readiness by Monday. Senator Hedges,
Buford and Hedd were appointed a COM
lnitte@ to act with the treasurer in securing
new quarters. 1t did not take them long to
do 80. They settled on the room in the
Power block where tho democratic house
had been meeting, and the work of making
the transfer was begun at once.
Senator Hennessy called attention to the
fact that it would again be necessary for
the committees on rules of the two bodies
to meet and fix up the joint rules. They
were instructed to do SO, and during the
day decided on the joint rules already
adopted.
A joint resolution offered by Senator Glib.
son was adopted. 1t was q memorial to
congress asking that a survey be made for a
canal to connec the st. Mary's river with
the Milk river. 1t stated that the Milk
river ran dry in the season when it was
most needed and that the contemplated
irrigation would benefit twelve millions of
acres.
senator Hedges gave notice of intention
to Introduce a concurrent resolution Great
ing a commission to receive proposals for
the location of a state institution.
Senator Hennessy gave notice that he
would introduce bills for the better protec-
ton of travellers and to provide for the
office of land commissioner.
In view of the fact that the quarters were
to be changed, Senator CardweIl moved to
adjourn to four o'clock Monday afternoon.
and it was SO ordered.

They Saved $4,000 worth Of sheep for Mr.
Henry Klein, OF Helena.
MI. Henry Klein, tho ~well-known mer.
chant, is in receipt Of n letter from L. d,
Burt, the manager Of his Home ranch in
Meacher county, telling Of = wonderful in
stance of canine sagacity. II saya that on
Saturday last Lew Crowner, ono Of the
herdars on the ranch, was suddenly taken
down with an attack Of rheumatism. II
was no severe that ne could not get to his
house. His dogs cook his aock Of sheep
hack to the corral and drove Thorn in.
Crowner started to crawl on his hands and
knees to Kagle's camp, some two miles from
where he vas stricken down. Fortunately
it was a bright moonlight, night
and Kagle, who was out on his
ranch, found the sick man and
took him to his home. Later on Grow
ner was taken to his own ranch. He was
unable to move himself and had to be car
ried in a wagon. At last account he was
improving. Mr.. Klein il loud in his praise
of the faithful dogs, whose sagacity no
doubt saved him about $1,000, as had the
wolves gotten among the sheep or a storm
come up the herd would have been wiped
out.
