court in branch No. / of the criminal
court and issued a special venire for
100 jurors TO appear in court at 10
o'clock Monday morning to try A. l..

Luetgert and William Charles were both
present. They displayed marked inter

ment that 200 jurors could easily be ex-

NEBRASKA IN STORMS GRASP.
B-izzard sweeps Over the state-Danger
for the Herds of Cattle.


Omaha, Neb.. Nov. 27.-A snowstorm
Of great severity swept over Nebraska.
The weather was mild all day, with a
drizzling rain. Toward evening the
mercury dropped TO almost zero and a
gale from the northwest swept the fine
particles of snow In every direction.
Not great quantity of snow has fallen,
but what there is has piled in huge
drifts in the streets OF the city, i'm
peding all kinds OF traffic.
out in the state the situation Is worse
In the extreme western part a regular
blizzard exists, and more damage is
threatened TO stock interests than at
any time this winter. This is due to the
fact that the grass is covered with
hard coating of ice through which 1t
will be quite difficult for cattle to break
in order to secure food. On the top OF
this is piled much snow. II the weather
remains severe for several days heavy
losses on the range necessarily will fol-
low this kind of weather.
The storm covers the entire state.
Railroad traffic is being interfered with.
The great damage, however, from the
storm comes from the menace to the
stock interests. The many thousand
sheep being fed in the state are in par
ticular danger. Still, as long as the
herds are housed. which is the case
with most of the large punches. great
damage will not occur The open range
is the place where the greatest loss will
be certain.

Washington. Nov. 27.-The annual re-
port of the secretary OF the treasury.
according to present plans, will be sent
10 congress either on the first or Sec
ond day of the coming session. AS to
the secretarys plans for the reform Of
the currency enough has been learned
to give confidence that the president is
in full accord with his views and rec
concentrations, although i'm his official
utterance as expressed in his forthcom-
ing message to congress he may not
give a complete and specific indorse-
ment to all the propositions covered by
the secretary's report. There will, how
ever. be differences between the presi-
dent and the secretary. IL is also un-
derstood that the forthcoming report of
the monetary commission will cover
recommendations not essentially differ
ent from those embodied i'm Secretary
Cages report to congress. Those most
familiar with both of these important
papers give assurance that the differ
ences between them will be easily recon-
ciied and that to the support of the
propositions SO harmonized the none
tary commission will be able to bring
the powerful influence of the great body
OF business men which the commission
represents.
