The Weir-Shugart Implement COM
pany of this city received a letter from
their local collector at Ogalalla n few
days ago that is a fair illustration OF the
condition of western Nebraska. Their
trade owe all the territory within a
radius of several hundred miles from
Council Bluffs, and they had confidence
enough in western Nebraska to sell farm
machinery to the farmers regardless of
occasional poor crops, and then not push
them to the wall when they could not
meet their notes upon maturity. An
extract from the letter reads as follows:
Enclosed please find draft for full
amount of Mr.. SIS note. Last
spring he traded the implement for
which the note was given for twenty
bushels of wheat, and has just marketed
500 hushe' therefrom. He requests me

Fire In the Second Story of Oliver Maggard's
Big Barn Last Night.
The Oliver Maggard Van company stables,

Leavenworth and Fifteenth and Sixteenth.
streets. were discovered to be on fire at II 30
O'Clock last night.
After the doors had been broken in the fire
was found to be burning on the second floor,
where the stalls are located. Ladders were
run up from truck / and the windows broken.
Dense clouds of smoke poured forth and for
a minute 1t was feared that the entire stock
of hay was on fire.
AS quickly as possible the SO horses
stabbed in that floor were cut loose and
started down the run way. All the animals
escaped without siDgeing a hair.
A couple OF streams of water and No. 3
chemical engine soon put the fire out, but the
smoke was so dense that the men could
scarcely breathe.
An investigation showed that a small hole
had been burned through the flooring OF the
second floor and possibly a ton of baled hay
destroyed. Loss about $50.
just how the fire started is not known. 1t
was learned, however, that the hostlers had
left q lighted lamp in the barn when they
closed the doors for the night.

THE DETERIORATION CLITMs.

The experience OF Tue BEE CLAIMS
BUREAU has brought out the fact that many
OF its subscribers do not understand that the
Indian depredations act passed by the last
congress annulled all previous contracts for
collecting claims upder it. This is a fact
that they should know for their own protec
tion. When the act was signed all contracts.
with agents were made void by its terms.
The holders of claims were then free TO make
such bargains with their agents as they
pleased, or could refuse to make any bargain
at all.
The trainers of the act found it necessary
TO take this step for the protection of the
claimants. At the time when there seemed
little chance that such an act would be
passed hundreds OF had contracted
with agents to pay outrageous fees in case
tho money could DO collected. Cases are
known in which the claimants had contracted
TO give up TO the agents over one hall the
amount collected. Cases in which oIe-third
was promised were not At all To
allow those contracts to stand would make
the law not an act OF justice, but an act OF
extortion for the benefit OF the claim agents.
The clause was inserted annulling all the
contracts, good, bad and Indifferent, ana
limiting the percentage TO DO charged by
agents to 10 per cent, with an extra 8 per
cent allowance for special cases. The claim
agents naturally objected to this, asserting
that it was beyond the owe Of congress,
but the best opinion OF both houses was that
contracts made to collect claims under a law
that did not exist could be anuulled in shse
manner.
On the Atm of March, therefore, the claim
ants who had signed contracts were as free
from obligations to agents as those who had
not. III they were satisfied with their agents
ana wished TO sign a new contract within the
limit OF compensation fixed by the law, it
was their right, but none Of them were
under any legal obligation 10 do SO. The
more INSCRIPTIONS OF thu agents naturally
represented to their clients that they were
bound TO renew their contracts, with merely
the substitution OF the terms named by law
for the outrageous commissions at first de-
manded Cases have been brought tth
attention OF tn BEE IN which hi
policy had been followed success ly
by INSCRIPTIONS agents. They had IN aword
bullied the claimants into hiring them when
IL tue claimants had understood that they
were free of obligation, they would have
chosen other representatives. As others are
being worked upon in the Same way the
facts of the case are set forth for their pro
lection. III they are satisfied with the men
they first chose they arc right In ~re-engaglng
them. IL they are not satlied. they are free
to engage ANYBODY they choose.

day in the case Of Elmer Sayers against Ross

Wine Drinking ct Dinners.

1t is an undoubted fact that the serv-
ing OF many and heavy wines at large
dinners is gradually becoming a thing
of the past, writes George w. Childs in
the January Ladies' Home Journal. OF
course, l do not mean that wines are no
longer served, for they are and will con-
tinue to be. so long as civilized men on
slider them a feature of dinners. But l
do mean that of the varieties o t wine
and OF the qualities lighter, than was
the custom ten Years ago. Were | pre-
pairing for II large dinner for meu-
which is always from the nature of
things more heavily wined thar an ordi-
nary mixed" diuner-I should not
think it in the least degree necessary
to order anything like the anne
amount OF assortment of wines that
would have been imperative a few
years ago.. And in extenuation of the
statement that the qualities of the wines
served are becoming lighter, the simple
fact that at the average English dinner
table port wine has been almost super
seeded by claret, may be cited. 1t is also
becoming a very ordinary thing at En-
glish dinners to meet prominent men
who do not drink wines of any kind, and
in our country this is also becoming
more and more a fact. OF course, a din
ner must have fluids; the best of solids
require some liquids with which to
relish them, and a dinner would be but
wasted energy and material without
them. But | think it is no longer i'm
perative to serve wines, or at least we
can serve with them some other bever-
age which will be of equal pleasure to the
constantly increasing set of people who
find that wining and dining together is
rather too heavy q combination for their
comfort.
