CHICKENS CAUSE TROUBLE.

A Farmer Disposes Of Sixty Birds At
Sioux Falls.
Sioux FALLS, S. D., Feb. 19.-The
Sioux Falls Gun club is badly stirred up
over a little incident which occurred
here. A farmer drove into town and
sold 60 prairie chickens to leading
market man. While the farmer was
waiting for his pay a member OF the
run club who had been notified, stepped
into the market and called the
proprietor aside. The farmer, mistrust-
ing that they were talking about
his chickens, rushed out Of the market
without waiting Tor his pay, got into his
wagon and drove out Of town with his
team on the run. An effort will be
made to learn the name Of the farmer,
and if this is done he will be prosecuted
under the game law. The meat dealer
who has the chickens in his possession
is also liable under the same law and
there is probability that he will be
punished. The penalty in each OF the
cases is a fine of $40 bird.

SILVER MEN WIN
Bill f,or Unrestricted Coinage
Is Unfinished Business
in the Senate. =
THE MAJORITY ONLY THREE.
Latest Bond Issue Severely
Criticised by Mr.. Sher-
man of Ohio.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-By q bold
parliamentary move the silver men OF
the senate, under the leadership OF Sen.
ator Jones Of Arkansas, forced aside all
pending business including approprla-
ton bills and by vote Of 80 to ~ made
the bill for the unrestricted coinage OF
silver unfinished business before the
senate. Having succeeded in this Mr..
Jones gave notice that the silver bill
would be kept before the senate until a
final vote was secured. The move OF
the silver men came as the climax of an
exciting day i'll the senate. For two
hours at the opening of the session
there was a renewal Of the attack and
defense, the charge and countercharge'
concerning
The Course Of the President
and secretary of the treasury in nego-
tiating the recent bond contract with
foreign bankers. The two notable
speeches Of the day were made by Mr..
Gray of Delaware, whose relations with
the administration are such that his ut
terances in defense of the president and
secretary were regarded as rejecting
the attitude of the executive branch,
and by Mr.. Sherman of Ohio, whose
financial views are always received
with marked attention. Mr.. Sherman's
criticisms of the bond contract were
none the less severe because Of the calm
and dispassionate manner in which he
set forth what he termed 'its hard and
improvident" features and the
Excessive Rate of Interest
allowed Oh 30-year bonds. Mr.. Sher-
man declared that no bonds should be
issued except to be taken by the people
of the United States, and he asserted
the abundant ability of Americans to
furnish all the gold necessary. The
Ohio senator did not, however, ques-
ton the presidents position in favor of
gold payments, but presented the facts
of all bonds issued since 1869 showing
that the government had always re-
ceived gold for it's bonds and was bound
by common honesty to pay in gold for
them. The agricultural appropriation
was finally passed.

ONLY FIVE PER CENT.

Decision OF Importance to Holders Of
Minnesota State Land Contracts.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 19.-Attorney General
Childs has given an opinion concerning
the rate Of interest that can be lawfully
collected from the holders Of delinquent
state land contracts. He interprets the
act Of 1898 as relieving the holders of
contracts drawing per cent interest by
requiring them to pay only 5 per cent
interest.
This opinion is of considerable i'm
portance to the holders Of delinquent
contracts, purchased many years ago at
per cent rate Of interest. Heretofore
they have been regularly paying Z per

in 1898 reducing the interest to per
