twelve feet high between the roads and
sidewalks. No marketmen are able to
come to town, and there is a great
scarcity of all farm products. A milk and
butter famine is already proclaimed by
the produce dealers.

trouble is expected when the Twentieth
district is reached.
Both houses were called to order at
noon. An attempt to organize the senate
began with ballot for temporary secre-
Iary and resulted in a strict party vote,
Republicans, ID: Populists, Il; Demo-
Gratis, ., and then adjourned till 8 o. m.
In the house, when the secretary of
state reached Knox county in the roll, he
called 'tChester Norton" Republican.
There was at once a protest from the Pop
ulists and Democrats, but the protest was
not needed, and the roll proceeded, though
the Populists refused to answer to their
names.
After the roll call, on a motion to pro-
coed to the election of a temporary
speaker, 1. Sheridan OF Red Willow
county, Populist, was chosen by the com
bined vote of the Populists and Demo-
Gratis, with 81 votes to 45 Ior Chuch Howe,
Republican nominee. s committee on
credentials was appointed and recess
was taken till 8 D. m.
The senate was unable to organize, the
members of the three parties voting
solidly for their own candidates for secre-
tary. Two sessions were held without
result. In the house a great uproar
ensued when the secretary Of state called
the name OF Norton instead of Krouse but
Norton took his seat. The Democrats
joined with the Independents and gave
them the organization. Gaffing was
elected speaker and Eric Johnson secre-
tary. The committee on credentials an
pointed by the new organization reported
against Norton, Republican, and Krouse,
Independent, was seated. Both houses
then adjourned until 10 o. clock tomorrow.

The Bulletin Shows that Much Winter
Wheat Was Unprotected by Snow.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The weather
crop bulletin says, while deficiency in
temperature for the month was greatest
in the northwest, the cold was relatively
more severe throughout the southern
states. A cold wave extended southwark
causing killing frosts as far south as Ju-
piter, Fla, and along the gulf coast on
the 18th, and for several days thereafter a
temperature of from 10 to 20 degrees be-
low freezing over the greater portion of
the southern states. Excessive rains oc-
CURED in the lower Mississippi valley and
generally over the regions south of the
Missouri and north of the Rio Grande
valleys. The month was generally dry
throughout the regions of the Atlantic
coast and Ohio valley and lake region, and
on the Pacific coast. While the rainfall
was generally less than usual, it was
timely and in sufficient quantities to
prove benefit to farmers.
The month closed with the ground COW
cred with snow from New York and the
upper Ohio valley westward to the Rocky
mountains. The ground was bare over
the greater portion of Missouri, Illinois
and Indiana, and thence southwark, thus
leaving over half the winter wheat with
out the protection afforded by snow.

velopnents give sensational aspect to
the death of Miss Ayres, station agent at
Brighton, whose body was found in the
embers of the station house few nights

that Miss Ayers was married last June in
San Francisco to George Jeffreys, loco
motive engineer, and Jeffreys is a married
man. having wife and two children in
San francisco. which was known to the
deceased. A message has been sent to
Oakland to arrest Jeffreys, as there is
some suspicion that he visited Brighton
on the night of the tragedy. One cart
ridge of the victims pistol was dis
charged. and it now seems possible the
woman may have shot herself and in SO
doing set fire to her clothing or bedding.
Still, owing to rumors that Miss Ayers
sent word here for Jeffreys to go out there
that night, and on the supposition that
he did go, it was decided to cause his ar
rest.

day and dozen patients have been dis
charged from the hospital The mayor
has considered the advisability of notify

rest all convicts sent to work on the city
streets, but consultation of physicians

from cholera patients in the penitentiary
and the mayor has withheld his proclama-
ton temporarily, The convict lessees
say they have right to put men on the
streets in defiance of the mayors orders.
and will continue to do so. The mayor
insists that he will march at the head of
his entire police force and arrest every
convict on the streets if necessary to pro-

Cases of the johnson County Invaders
Continued Until Thursday.
CHEYENNE, Jan. 8. = Especial. THE
motion for continuance in the cattle
men IS case was overruled by Judge Scott
today. The defendants, however, were
allowed to amend the affidayits attached
to the original motion for continuance,
and on this amendment the continuance
asked for was granted because of the alb
.sence of certain material witnesses. Coun-
sci for the prosecution then arose and
admitted the testimony of the absent
men, of whom two are in Dakota and
the other in Alabama.
The Judge then ordered the hearing OF
the case, but the defendants wanted an
adjournment to Monday. Finally both
sides agreed that the hearing OF the case
should begin Thursday.
The case is already arousing much in
terest, and many strangers are in to hear
it, among them a number of residents Of
Johnson county, the scene of the inva-
sion.

1t is Now Thought That no More Arrests
Will be Made.

PARIS, Jan. s. Magistrate FRANKIE
ville's examination of Charles DeLesseps,
Marquis Fontaine, San Leroy and Felix
Coltu, was finished Saturday. The case
OF the deputies charged with having re-
ceived money from the Panama Canal
company was opened by Magistrate
Frankeville yesterday. The accused are
Jules Roche, ex-minister of commerce,
Maurice Royier, ex-minister OF finance,
Emanuel Arene, member from Corsica,
Baron Joan De Souberian, member from
Vienna; and Due De Lafauconnerie
from Orne. There is reason TO believe no
more deputies are implicated and no more
arrests are expected. NJ. Bourgroise,
minister OF justice is seriously i'll.

BUsnNELL,s MISSION.
1t Is Regarding Quarantine Regulations
with Panama.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Some specula-
ton is INDUCED in with regard to the mis-
sion OF H. M. Bushnell OF Nebraska to
Panama. Bushnell's mission has no re-
lation, remote or intimate, to the Panama
canal concession, and it may be said that
the State Department has not the slightest
idea ofacquiring concession for the United
States whether the French relinquish it
or not. Bushnell is simply there as a
special commissioner to Investigate the
quarantine system and arrange for the
adoption of such regulations as would
protect the health of the people there and
at the same time not close port unneces-
sarily to vessels from the United States.

BOUNDARY LINE DISPUTE.
The Supreme Court settles a Question
Between Iowa and Illinois.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The Supreme
Court today rendered a decision in the
case Of the state of Iowa against the state
Of Illinois to settle the line in the Missis-
sippi river between the two states. Nine
bridges cross the river between the states,
and the suit was brought in order that
each might tax only those parts of them
within their respective boundaries. Iowa
contended the boundary runs through
the middle of the main body of the river
regardless Of the steamboart channel, and
that the measurement be taken at the
normal stage. Illinois claimed the juris-
diction of each state extended to the mid
die of the steamboat channel.
In the opinion rendered today by Jus
tice Field, the court takes the Illinois
view of the matter. holding the true
boundary is IN the middle of the main
channel. The court ordered commits
sion OF three to designate the line on each
bridge and delineate the same on maps.
