ANOTHER STOCK YARDS MEASURE
MUST BE CONSIDERED.
sHREwD WORK OF FARMERS
NlCHOLSON'S OLD BILL RERE-
FERRED TO COMMITTEE.
Farmers Sscceed In ReNivinw Old
stock Yards Measure That Was
Reported Adversely by Conn
mittee-HOOdSSinked
the House.

JEFFERSON CITY. March %.-(Special.)
Another effort will be made by the farm
ers OF the house TO pass a stock yards Dill.
They have gone about the matter very
shrcwdly and probably not a member OF
the house who Is not in the secret knows
that a stock yards bill drawn by MIR. Mich
olson, the Democratic representative from
C;ss county. WAS rereferred this morning
TO the committee on agriculture, of which
Isaac Thompson. of Clay. is chairman.
More than Il month ago this bill WIS re-
ported adversely by the committee. an
agreement having been made by the farm
ers to push the Prather bill, an exact copy
OF the Kansas law.
But since the Prathcr bill saw its selsa-
tional finish last week. the contest culmin-
ating in bold charges against lobby infiu-
ence made by Bohart, of Clinton, the
farmers have decided 10 put forward a
bill 10 regulate stock yards charges. less
radical in its rates than the Prnther bill
and the Kansas law.
The Nicholson bill makes it unlawful for
a stock yards company 10 do business with
in the state without first procuring d Ii
cense from the county court of the county
in which such company is located. The
license fee shall not be less than $50 a Year
nor more than 500, to be fixed by the court
and paid into the county treasury.
Penalties for the violation of the act are
fived at a fine of not more than 500 for
the first offense. 800 to 500 for the second
ofense. SEQ TO $500 for the third offense.
and for each subsequent offense a fine Of
from $1,000 to 5000. Such fines are to be
paid into the state treasury to be used by
the attorney general in procuring testimony
and prosecuting such offenses.
The bill also regulates commission charges
of live stock commission merchants as fol-
lows:
For buying or selling cattle. not to cx-
coed Is cents per mead: 8 cents per head
for calves. 8 cents per head for hogs s
cents for sheep. IL cents per head for other
domestic animals than horses or mules.
There are other provisions which follow,
generally these Of the Prather bill, which
was killed recently.
The farmers chose Saturday. when the

attracting any attention.

ing down his health, Mr.. Eustis went to
Paris, and was there during the Fran
coPrussian War.
Upon returning to this country he
distinguished himself as a professor of
law in the Louisiana State University
as practitioner before the higher
courts, and as a United States Senator
for ten years. Senator Eustis stood
up for what he regarded as Democratic
principles with characteristic frankness
and boldness. He was recognized as
one of the most eloquent orators in the
Senate, the Senators basing their high
estimate of his oratory not so much on
speeches he made in open session as
upon those he made in executive ses-
sion
Curiously, yet naturally enough, the
best speech he ever made. which was
made in executive session during the
Panama Canal discussion was a
eulogy on France, which stirred the
Senators so that they came from all
parts of the chamber to congratulate
him, the presiding officer sending him
note saying that he could not wait
Hltil released from the chair to compli-
ment him on his speech.
In 1893 President Cleveland. who was
a cordial friend of Senator Eustis. ap-
pointed him Minister to France.
