SANDoz FAILS TO GET A STAY
Sheridan County Man Must Pay PEN
atty Of Crirae for which Ne
IL Convicted.

RUSHVILLE. Neb.. Dec. 16.-(Special)-
Jules sandoz. who was found guilty OF as
s~aulting a couple Of his ~neighbors by shoot
ing a rife in their direction. or at them,
and fined 800 and costs and who Is being
confined in Jail until the same is paid,
was before the court today with a motion
which read as follows: 81 want my judg-
ment arrested at once because how could
l assault my neighbors when a quarter OF
a mile away. DO this and l will ever
pray" When he was told that his motion
was overruled ne said. Sheriff, l and
Roosevelt are Just alike. He is a western
man.; he is a hunter he is a good shot, he
is self-educAted, but he is president and
l am prisoner Jules is a great hunter and
expert marksman and IL is said he has
killed more wolves and skunks than any
man in Nebraska, Since the court would
not arrest his sentence, Jules puts in
a good deal Of his time In figuring out how
long II will take him after he gets out to
make his fine and costs shooting wolves,
skunks and coyotes. He also figures on
writing a book entitled "The Injustice Of
America to a genius and scholar who ought
to be In congress, but Is in jail"
During the trial Of Alice Hoover, who is
charged with having bought three Indian
ponies from Alex Too Too and Sam Big
Wolf, knowing them to be stolen and the
property of Fire Thunder. Good Lance and
Black Whirlwind, his counsel raised a con-
stitutional question. The same was over
ruled and in case Of conviction will be set
tied by the supreme court. The question
raised is whether or not the receiving or
the buying Of stolen property brought into
this state knowing them to be stolen con-
stitutes the crime Of receiving stolen prop
erty under our statutes. The supreme
court came. very close to passing on this
question recently in the case Of
against the State from Cherry county. In
that case It w1s held that it was not a
crime to bring stolen property into this
state.
In the case Of Charles H. Rush, who is
charged with selling whisky to Indians, an
other constitutional question is raised.
Rush is being prosecuted under section
32S7 of the statutes of 1901, which makes
selling whisky to Indians a felony and 1t Is
commended by defendants counsel, NJ. F.
Harrington and Judge Patterson, that this
section is unconstitutional because in eff
feet It amends sections 10 and IL OF the
Slocumb law and that the sections so
amended are not mentioned in the act OF
1891. Judge Westover, who is presiding In
this case, overruled the demurrer of de-
PENDANT, holding that the legislature made
the selling of whisky to Indians a separate
substantive crime, and that under the con-
stitution they had the right so to do. In
case Of conviction this will be taken to the
supreme court.
One of the heaviest falls Of snow ever
experienced in this section OF the state
is now on the ground. Some old timers say
It is heavier than that of 1883. 1t has MT
drifted and will not injure stock in the
least. 1t is predicted that this is to be a
repetition OF the winter of 1888, whicL
means good crop prospects for this portion

remarks in opposition to the omnibus state
hood bill, and by common consent the
measure went over until January 5.
Mr.. Morgan (Ala.l criticised the salaries
voted the Isthmian Canal commission, and
then, for half an hour the militia bill was
up, Mr.. Bacon (Ga.) on constitutional
grounds opposing the section which pro-
vides for a reserve force Of trained men.
A Joint resolution offered by Mr.. Wet
more Or. ~ was adopted appropriating
SO, 900 for the purchase Of a bronze bust OF
the late President Mckinley, and Senators
Allison. Hale and Cockrell were named ss
conferees on the bill appropriating $4,000
for salaries to the strike commissioners
Mr.. Morgan (Ala) asked that his bill
fixing the salaries Of the m canal
commissioner at IS 1000 a year be referred
to the committee on the interoceanic ca
nails. He said the present commissioners
were paid $1,000 a month each and that
their service had extended over twenty
nine and a half months. F'H 90
| In response to an inquiry from Mr.. Hale
Me.), "Mr.-Morgan said that out of1the
twenty,nine and a half months the CON-
mission had spent six weeks in Nicaragua
and two weeks in Panama.
THAT is a remarkable statement" said
Mr.. Hale.
at is . true ONE replied Mr.. Morgan
"and shows the necessity OF our doing
something to regulate these expenses"
Continuing. Mr.. Morgan said $3.50, 900 900
had been spent on the canal and there was
nothing to show for it except two-hfths of
a ditch dug there which had, to a large ex-
tent, been filled again.
The bill was referred as requested and
consideration resumed Of the militia bill.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Foraker
was agreed to striking out as much OF sec
tion "a of the bill as relates TO drills, in
spections and instruction of men enrolled
in the reserve force.
AT 2 o'clock the militia bill was dis
placed by the omnibus statehood bill, but
before debate was resumed the senate

the Fort Halles Indian reservation, Idaho,
and a resolution directing the secretary
of the interior to transmit to the senate
the report of DR.. Jackson upon the intro
duction of domestic reindeer in Alaska.
Mr.. Dillingham; then resumed his speech
in opposition to the omnibus bill and the

will be forwarded to the admiral in the
next day or two, but no reflection on Ad-
miral Dewey is intended by giving him the
orders for his ships instead of allowing
him a free hand.
1t is unlikely that men-of-war will be
sent to La Guayra, the feeling being that
the presence OF American ships there might
cause uneasiness among the allied powers
and encourage President Castro to main
tain his defiant attitude. On the other
hand, the situation has grown so acute
within the last few days that both State
and Navy department officials agree that it
will be wise to mobilize the fleets in ports
within easy range of the Venezuelan coast.

what appears to be good authority hat a
flibustering party is being organized here
to go to Venezuela. 1t is said it is a we'll
armed company, all crack shots and old
mountain men and will go south in a few
days. A number OF Spanish war veterans
and several veterans Of the Fenian insur-
rection of Canada are among the men en-
listed.
LIMA, Peru, Dec. 16.-The Peruvian
government is not disposed to take any
action in the Venezuelan matter.
LAPAz, Bolivia, Dec. 16.-While the Be-
hvlatS Soyernmenti is not disposed to take
any steps TO assist Venezuela, the news
papers express themselves in favor OF some
joint action of all the republics Of South
America against the allied powers.
SAN SALVADOR, Salvador, Dec. 16.-The
government of Salvador is not likely to
take any action. :;
GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, Dec. 16.-The news
Of the bombardment Of the forts at Puerto
Cabello has further excited the Ecuadore-
ans, but the government will remain
neutral.

HOUSE TALKS OF DISEASE
Gives Agricultural Department Power to
Deal with Sick CattlR
TREASURY ACTION ALONE AUTHORIZED
Mistake Made in Establishing wilson's
once Rectihed in Quick order
when Drought to Atten-
ton of Members.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1e.-The house to-
day passed the bill transferring from the
Treasury to the Department Of Agriculture
the power to establish regulations for the
suppression OF contagious diseases among
live stock, end devoted the remainder of
the day to the legislative appropriation
bill, on which rapid progress is being made.
Some minor business was transacted by
unanimous consent at the opening, bills
being passed to authorize a resurvey Of
certain townships In Wyoming and TO au-
thorize the construction Of a lighthouse at
Mukilteo Point, Wash.
Upon the demand for the regular order,
Mr.. Wadsworth IN. " called up the bill
to transfer from the Treasury to the De-
partment Of Agriculture the power to make
regulations to suppress and extirpate dan
gerous contagious diseases among live
stock. b
He explained that the change was made
necessary by the discovery that when the
Department Of Agriculture was created, this
power, supposed to have been transferred
and to have since existed with the secre-
tary Of agriculture, was left with the
Treasury department.
The additional power conferred by the
bill to prevent the introduction from an
infected foreign country, OF from one state
to another, Of hay, straw and forage, was
made necessary by suspicion that the foot
and mouth disease was communicated to
live stock in New England through infected
hay from Canada, and might be transmitted
thence to other portions Of the United
States by the same means. The bill was
passed without division.
The house then went into committee Of
the whole and resumed the consideration
Of the legislative, executive and judicial
| appropriation bill and disposed Of 122 pages.
