amendment of Bennett to make the PEN
atty for undue influence 500 fine and six
months Imprisonment.
Monteath opposed tho amendment as
being too severe and thought IL would be
impossible to secure conviction.
Bennett said that no county in the state
needed a corrupt practice bill rs much as
Silver Bow. Corruption of voters had
been practiced there on large scale, and
unless the Imprisonment clause were adj
ded it would be mere sport for the men
who influenced thousands of voters to pay
a paltry fine of 500.
Monteath replied that as Bennett had
formerly had the employment and con-
troll of large numbers of men in Silver
Bow county, he was probably familiar with
the means employed to coerce voters. He
thought the gentleman and others had
shown n disposition all through tho dis
cusson of the bill to make il imperative
by making the penalties so severe that it
would be impossible to obtain a convic-
tion under them.
Hershey and Won Tobel took tho samo
view as Monteath. Tue latter moved TO
lay the amenl nlment on the table, which
was lost. The committee then rcscindel
all amendments in regard to penalties
which were made in tho house and re-
ferred the bill TO the committee on
privileges and elections. The committee
then rose and tho house adjourned until
10 o'clock tomorrow.

4 Bill Passed Which Helps Helena Out
of the Hole

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.-There was a
small attendance in the senate when that
body met to-day. The session was called
to order by Vice President Steven
son, who has returned to the city
after attending the burial of his daughter
at Bloomington, Ill. Soon after the senate
chamber began to I'LL up and before some
preliminary business on the vice pres!-
dents desk was disposed of there was the
largest attendance of senators since the
session began. The presidents secretary
was announced very soon and all knew he
had the special message on the financial
question. There was the utmost quiet in
the senate while the message was being
read and the senators on both sides gave
il the closest attention.
At the close of tho reading, as sherman
suggested the message was referred to the
finance committee. A bill was passed APP
propriating $4,000 to purchase sites for
public buildings in Spokane, Wash,
Cheyenne, Wyo., Boise, Idaho. aud Hell
ena, Mont. Tho bankruptcy bill was then
taken up and made unfinished business.

BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 23.-Two ballots
were taken to-day at noon for United
States senator and without change from
former lines. Fifty-two members we're
present. Clark had paired with Browne.
The vote each time was: Sweet, 49,:
Shoup, 10; Clagett, Is. Everything points
towards a change in the situation to-mor-
row and all three of the factions are in
caucus tonight.
The Shoup men tonight positively de-
clined to put up their money on straight
Shoup lines, although few nights ago
they we're around looking for such bets.
However, they are willing to wager to-
night that Sweet will not be elected. II is
claimed that Shoup's supporters will to-
morrow go over to w. E. Borah. a Boise
man. This may be masterstroke to
break the solid 10 for Sweet.
The popuiists will stand pat for Clag-
gett on to-morrow's ballot. So soon as
the Shoup forces enter the third man il
will be readily disclosed whether the SC id
10 intend to switch on new issue or
stand firm on the lines laid down by
Sweet. The indications are that they,
too, will stand pat.
Judge Powers arrived to-day from Salt
Lake. On the 3lst he will argue before
the supreme court for a rehearing in tho
Hearst murder case. Hearst was scus up
from Oneida county for 81 years.

handed down five decisions to-day. The
first one is Bealo VS.. the board OF county
commissioners of Gallatin county. This
was an application for "A writ of certorar.
The applicant, tax payer of the city of
BoZeman, complained of the action of tho
board of county commissions acting as a
board of equalization IN raising the taxes
as fixed by the board of appra lsers of said
county, contending that the value as fixed
by the board of appraisers was conclusive
of the value, and that the board of equal
ization had no authority to raise tho valli-
alton or assessment. Tho supreme court
held that the board had such authority
and dismissed the writ. Opinion by Chief
Justice Pemberton.
Davidson VS.. Bordeaux ct AL, on appeal
from Silver Bow. This was an adverse
mining suit. In the court below judgment
was rendered for Bordeaux ct al. The
judgment of the lower court was affirmed.

None OF the Board of Trade Committee
Appointed to Confer With Him
Has Heard From Him.

Communication between the Virginia
Executive Mansion and the Washington
Board OF Trade appea RS to have been cut.
| More than month ago the COMMITTEES
OF the Board Of Trade, appointed to secure
the active CO operation OF Gov. O'Ferrall
In the war on the gamblers in Alexandria
county, received letter from his excel
lency 10 which he said that his attorney
general was at that time engaged, and
left the impression that as soou as he was
disengaged he would proceed against the
| gamblers.
Later on 1t was learned that the governor
had left the capital, being interested in
| newspaper libel suit, but was expected
to return shortly to Richmond
In frequent interviews with members
| of the Board Of Trade committee they all
expressed their entire confidence in the
zeal and good intentions of the governor
when he received the evidence Of witnesses
secured by the committee.
Most OF the special committee who Wis
tied the governor have now left the city
for their summer vacation and nothing has
been done. The committee acted in good
faith aud promptly. They gathered and

of testimony and sent it by u special mes
senger to the governor.
No one yesterday knew what had be-
come of the evidence or whether the attor
ney general is yet disengaged.
Sheriff Palner however, in a recent talk
with The Times was sked If he had re-
cejyed any Instructions from Gov. O'Ferrall
He said that he had inaugurated his raids
on his own responsibility.
Mr.. Gurley, assistant secretary of the
board of trade, had no Information as to
whether the governor had communicated
with Mr.. ]. B. Wight, the secretary of
the board, who had been conducting the
correspondence with virginia's executive.
Mr.. Wight is row absent on vacation, but
is expected to return shortly.
A prominent mem Der of the board was
asked what he had to say on the question,
but he declined to be quoted; SO that the only
person who knows anything about 1t does
not live in Washington.
The other interesting fact in this con-
nection is that when two of the gamblers
were to beindicted at Alexandria a fewdays
ago, with all the proof needed at command,
the commonwealth attorney was absent.
He ma y, however, be disensaged some other

NEwwAY TO KILL A CAT.
A Brilliant Farmer Devises a Peculiar
Method


Method.
James Kashner, q farmer, living between
Sharon and Sharpvile, experimental with
new method of killing a cat the other
afternoon, with almost disastrous results,
says a dispatch to the Pittsburg Dispatch
Kashner owned a big Maltese cat, which
for several days had caused him considera-
BILE trouble, owing to its liking for the
neighbors chickens. Kashner decided to
get rid of the household pet He had
in bis possession a stick of dynamite that
he had intended to use for blasting pur-
poses. So he placed the cat In n bag and
took it to q neighboring woods. He re-
moved the cat from the bag and tied II tn
a tree. after which he fastened the stick
of dynamite to the animals back. Kash-
ner lit the fuse and stepped back about
fifty yards to await results. The Nal
tese, frightened by the shower of sparks
from the fuse, slipped its neck from the
moose and scampered through the woods.
Kashner, Mortified with the possible re-
suits that might follow, began pursuit, at
the same time shrieking words of warning.
A quartet of sharpville young men were
enjoying q game OF poker in that vicinity,
and the cat, now made desperate by burns
from the sparks, was making directly
toward the group. Keshner in passing the
poker players on bis way to the scene Of
execution, had notified them of his inten-
tions but they had become SO intensely in
terested in the game that they had forgotten
all about Kashner and his cat. Kashner's
wild yells, The cats loose with q stick
OF dynamite on it's back" awoke the poker
players to sense OF danger, and the largest
jack pot would not have tempted them to
remain. There was scrambliug Of men
in every direction. One frightened player
took refuge in q nearby tree, but after
ward regretted, for the cat was making
directly for his place OF refuge. The life
OF the cat was destined to be short, however,
for 1t had hardly started on its ascent
when there was O report that shook tho
