Four Measures Considered by the Senate
and Recommended for Passage.
LINCOLN, March Especial 1.-THE vari-
GUS bills providing relief for Nebraska's des-
titute farmers in the drouth districts of the
state were pretty thoroughly digested by
the senate this afternoon, and four meas
ures were recommended for passage, leaving
the house bill appropriating 5000 900 still on
the general file for future consideration. The
people in the droIthy regions will be pretty
well provided for II the four bills recon-
mended for passage this afternoon become
laws. even II the big appropriation bill setting
apart 100000 for the purchase of grain for
feed and seed fails to pass the senate.
Senate le No. 312, introduced by Stewart
of Dawes, provides for the investment of
sinking fund moneys of counties and town
ships in grain for feed and seed. Under the
bill all sinking funds on deposit in banks
may be withdrawn by the county treasurers
whenever such necessity exists, upon petition
OF 25 per cent of the legal voters of such
county. The grain purchased with these
funds is to be sold to farmers on their Sc
cured notes, payable in not less than twelve
mon hs and + ot more than twenty-four months
and drawing s per cent interest, per cent
of which is to 30 to the county treasurer.
House roll No 2S7 providing for the pur-
chase Of seed grain on time and creating a
| lien on the crops grown from the same, and
for the discharge OF such lien, and prescrib-
ing the form OF special seed grain note "
House roll No, $50. to authorize county
| commissioners to use the surplus of precinct
bond funds for the purpose OF procuring seed
| grain and feed for teams for destitute farm
| ers
House roll No. 534, authorizing the county
boards of the several counties to use the

JACKSON, o.. March 1.-THE reception to
Hon. Joseph H. Bundy the father-in-law of
Ex-Governor Foraker. last night on his retire
ment from congress, was a remarkable event.
Tolsts were responded to by Mr.. Bundy
Governor Mckinley, ex-Governors Foster
Foraker and others. All the state officers
and Ohio republican congressman were pres
ent. also all ex-congressmen living who had
represented that district. There was sensa-
ton created when General Grosvenor, in re-
ferrng to the vote on the bond issue, said
at could not well be said on the floor of
body, but l will say 1t now. Mr.. Sherman
said TO an Ohio congressman one day after
the defeat Of the Rothschilds- Carlisle outrage
Sixteen millions OF money is a good deal: 1t
10 good deal of money whether paid In a
single lump today or distributed $500 900 at
time across thirty years
But said he, had that bill passed and

in these bonds it would have caused the
! depreciation of the present outstanding obli-
cations of the government in the markets oil
the world within twenty-four hours more

This was the language of John Sherman
| and so 1t has occurred to us that we can
stand the political intriguing of few demo.

misled republicans in divers localities wher
| they censure and pat the isolated republicans

LAWrER ERWIN CLOSING HIS PLEA
Hayward's Life May Be In the Jury's
Hands before Might.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 7.-Mr. Erwin re-
sumed his long effort before the jury for the
life Of Harry Hayward this morning. The
mother of the defendant was not present,
but his father and an aunt occupied seats
in the witness row. County Attorney Nye
was still absent, and indeed he is not likely
to appear again in the case for some time.
He is confined to his bed under a physi-
clans care, his condition being quite serious
1t developed this morning that in case of a
conviction-which is confidently expected by
the state-immediaIe sentence will be moved.
The defense, on the other hand, has made
every preparation for a stay, and an appeal
in case of conviction. Mr.. Erwin is ex-
pected to finish by o'clock this afternoon.
and if he does SO Judge Smith will at once
charge the jury, so that it may retire and
begin it's work Of reaching an agreement
at once.
There was a tremendous crowd applying
for admission this morning. but not more
than one-third could get into the room,
which was packed to suffocation.
Mr.. Erwin at once began new tack on
the testimony Of Blixt which he admitted
was the very focal point of the case. 1t
was full of the most serious contradictions
and Inconsistencies, and unworthy Of Gre
dence. He then turned to the question
of the immunity promised by the state to
Bixt and Adry Hayward for the sake of
convicting Harry. This, he declared. was
a revival of the old and pernicious practice
of turning states evidence in vogue in
England, and he called upon the jury to
stamp it out.
The END is not yet At 5 o'clock Mr.. Erwin
turned to the court and asked for an hour
tomorrow. The court was 10th to grant the
request. The members of the jury were
suffering, but consent was finally given. All
through the day Erwin kept up one line-at-
tempts to break down the evidence of Claus
A. Blixt and incidentally that of Adry Hay
ward. He extolled the wonderful patience of
Harry, and then said Has ever innocence
been so tried in God Almighty's world as
this mans innocence?"
The case will go to the jury, at the close of
the seventh week, at noon tomorrow.

SCHUYLER, Neb., March 7.-(Special.)-
There was what was called a donation party
at Pence's hall last night for the benefit of

tributons.

chop wood at so cents per day and board
himself; that labor is cheap as 1t is because
of SO many negroes with whom whites can
not compete, and that the country is so wild
that one is obliged to go armed to guard
against molestaton by bandits
The Mitchell-Inness ranch, comprising a
half section of fine land four miles northeast
of Schuyler, was appraised this morning,
there having been instituted foreclosure pro-
ceedngs.

servile politicians are the responsible pro-
moters and foster parents of anarchy
Anarchy will never find lodgmer. in happy

lodgment where labor meets it's Just reward
and where production is accorded fair per-
centage of its own products. / believe in
America for Americans; that our constitu-

republic, designated and founded by our fore
fathers, under the blessings of God is ample
for the present wants; and that we do not
need to borrow either financial or industrial
