WITH THE 1 LAWMAKERS
=. HAPPENINGS OF The LEGISLATURE
" OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT ~ ~

the e1nploye who is to blame for the
accident. Any damages recovered un-
der the provisions of the bill are not
subject to the payment of debts or any
legal liabilities incurred by the plain
tiff. The amount which can be recov-
cred for injuries is placed at $4,000 and
the limit recoverable under the pro-
visions of the bill in case of death is
800.
The impeachment proceedings insti-
tuted against Judge Harney have con
stituted the principal topic of conversa-
ton since they we e begun. When the
matter was brought to the attention of
the house in a resolution offered by Mr..
Conner, of Ravalli, and Il motion was
made that the matter be referred to the
judiciary committee, an amendment
was at once offered by Mr.. Lynch, of
Silver Bow, to the effect that the reso-
luton be laid on the table. By a large
majority, however, the resolution was
referred to the committe suggested by
Mr.. Conner.
Over one hundred bills have been
introduced in the house, and of this
number about one dozen have been
reported from committees with the rec
ommendation that they be indefinitely
postponed. Twenty-four house bills
and one joint memorial have been
printed. The memorial has reference
to the cession of part of the Crow
reservation to the United States. The
senate wired memorial to the national
congress at Washington last week ask
ing that Il survey of the boundary line
between Montana and Idaho be made,
and asking the appropriation of the
sum of $50, 900 therefor.
AT present it does not look like the
session would be cut to thirty days.
On the contrary, if much time is con-
sumed by the republican majority in
political tilibustering and in the hear
ing OF the evidence in the contest and
cases, it is much more
probable that the entire sixtv davs
Will prove to be inadequate and that
an extra session will be necessary.
"A bill will be introduced in the lepis-
!ature which has as its object the aid.
Ing and encouragement of the construc-
ton OF a a,co-operative irrigation canal
by land owners themselves.

Fat Cattle; Lower Prices.

"In August, 1902, scarcely five
months ago, prices for fat cattle were
higher than they had been previously
for period of twenty years, says the
Chicago Livestock World. September
saw turn toward lower prices and
from record high level in August,
five short months have seen prices on
fat beeves, of say ], 200 pounds and up,
shrink almost one-half and to the low
est level seen since 1896 or 1897.
1.-The average price for steers weigh
ing !, 200 to 1,5OO pounds for January,
1902. was So. 20; the average for August
OF that year, on the same weights, was
$7.S5; the average on same weights for
the current month will not exceed S.
If, indeed, it is not below this latter
figure. This certainly represents an
enormous actual loss to the country,
because great proportion of the cattle
that are now selling at these prices
were bought last summer on basis of
the high prices then current for fat
cattle.
''Just how long it will be before there
is turn to higher prices is hard to
conjecture. Certain it is that the coun-
try is not in condition or mind to helm
bring about an early turn. Feed lots
in the corn belt appear to be carrying
liberal stocks Of cattle, but they are
not fat as a rule and the late market
movement indicates that the country is
IN a selling mood and is going to force
liberal supplies on markets until these
stocks on hand have been practically
all unloaded. The immediate outlook
does not favor higher prices.'

ing SO loads of hay daily to his sheen
and has already fed 1,5OO tons. The
range in that locality permits of no
grazing whatever owing to the fact that
a chinook visited the section when there
was considerable snow on the ground
and continued until it had melted and
then cold wave coming froze the water
a solid crust OF ice over the
range that will bear up several hun
dred pounds, and through which it is

According to the report of the officials
over, 5000 horses were exported from
Custer county last year.
The Canadian government is prepar-
hng o'build fence north of the inter-
national boundary line from the Sweet
Gr'ass hills. The fence will be over 60
miles in length and over SIX feet high,
doubly reinforced, and it is intended
to he strong enough to prevent cattle,
from the states, drifting across the line
and consequently being benefited by
the Alberta ranges.
1.-The 100000 Southern steers taken
into Montana means a market run of
100000 two years hence" said Brand
inspector Bourdette, who looks after
Montana Interests atthe Chicago yards,
in the Livestock World, "proyided, of
course, that this and the next winter
bring no disaster. Montana, it must
be remembered, is breeding extensively,
and to these Southern steers will be
added Lot of home raised stock. So
lar as Montana is concerned. the beef
eaters OF the east need not worry about
future supplies.''
1t is reported that good many calves
and yearlings are dying in parts of
Texas from blackleg. Many old ex-
perienced cowmen are expressing the
opinion in the papers of that state that
the best preventative for the disease is
to run plenty of sheep on your range,
as the disease is caused from weed
which is food for the sheep but poison
Gus to cattle. They also contend that
the same number of cattle can be run
in pasture that is we'll stocked with
sheep as can be run without them, as
sheep eat weeds and do not eat grass.
A meeting of about Is representative
stockmen from all portions of the state
was held in Helena Wednesday for the

HELENA, Jan. 20. 1OO3-In several
particulars last week was memor a BILE
one in the history of the present meet
ing of the Eighth Legislative assembly.
The senate refused to confirm the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Stewart as Judge of
the judicial district in which a vacancy
was made by the election of Judge
Eo loway to the supreme bench; in the
house the contest proceedings were
begun against the delegation from Sill
yer Bow county, and resolution look
ing to the impeachment of Judge Har-
ney WAS also introduced. In this con-
nectioE the state auditor refused to paw
the gentlemen now holding certificates
of election from Silver Bow and who
have thus far participated in the legis-
lation SO far enacted in the house.
It seems to be mooted question
whether the action taken by the senate
in the case of Judge Ste ewart will ac-
complish anything. It is certainty
that in case he is removed Governor
Toole will make no other appointment
while the legislature is in session and
that when the body has adjourned he
will at once reappoint the present in
cumbent. In this respect the executive
holds the winning hand.
No one here attempts to predict the
outcome of the contest over the seats of
the da1aro{io,,
spite the auditors refusal to at first
give the gentlemen their warrants for
their pay, he subsequently did so.
The members holG certificates of e1ec-
tion from Silver Bow county, they have
taken the oath of office and have voted
on every measure before the house. In
case they are compelled to give up their
seats it is said that all measures which
have passed by their votes would be-
come imperative.
The Maddox fellow-servant bill. the
only fellow-servant bill which has thus
far been introduced in the senate, con-
talns "A number of special provisions
that have not previously been incorpor-
ated in the fellow-servant bills bv the
legislature. The bill makes company
or corporation liable for injuries sus-
tanned by AN employe whose injuries
result through the negligence of a fell
low servant. While the company is
held liable, the bill gives the corpora
tion the right to sue and recover from

RlSMARCk'S CHlVALRY.

A New Story of the Courtesy of the
 Iron ChanceIIor.
 At the Bonn university rectorial ban quet Dr. von Rottenburg, the rector of the university and formerly chief of the imperial chancellery, related the following illustration of Prince Bis marck's character, says the Berlin cor respondent of the Philadelphia Press:
 'eMany years ago Germany was deep- ly insulted by nation otherwise dis tinguished for chivalry Count Caprivi, who was at that time head of the min istry of the imperial navy, was asked to express an opinion as to Germanys chances in the event of war and said, We should have gallant opponent, who, however, owing to inferior war material, would not be able to offer serious resistance Thereupon Prince Bismarck decided that he could not recommend the emperor to appeal to the sword and that arbitration must be resorted to, for, he said, ITO win with out danger is to win without glory"
 Dr. yon Rottenburg evidently re- ferred to the dispute which arose be- tween Germany and Spain in 1885 with regard to the Caroline islands.

FORGOT HIS WOODEN LEG.

Absentminded Customer Left 1t In a
 Kansas City (Mo0 Savings Bank.
 Lots of funny things are left by the carelessly disposed in queer places, but about the oldest find of this sort re- corded recently is that of Will Webb, cashier of the Missouri Savings bank, who was until it was called for, the unwilling custodian of a mans wooden leg, which the owner had left on the banks counter, says the Kansas City Journal.
 'He came in the other day." said MT. Webb, land left an elongated package on the counter when he departed. When it was noticed and brought to me, it seemed heavy, so in the hope of ascertaining it's ownership opened it, only to find that it was-a wooden leg! You can imagine my surprise.
 My first thought was, How could the man have walked away If he left his leg here? But then I remembered that it was wrapped up and concluded that he must have been wearing an old one. So I put it away until could trace the ownership. Sure enough, next day in came a man who asked the tell CT if he had left his leg here the day before. The teller was startled, but managed to refer the man to me, and I soon put him in possession of his ex- tremity.
 Lots of funny things are left here. Up to then the queerest were clarinet, on which I couldn't play, and wom- ans petticoat, which I couldn't wear. Both were called for later on.'

that drew blood before Roosevelt had got his glove on right. The bystanders cried foul but Roosevelt smiled one of his grim smiles.
 T guess you made mistake. We do not do that way here he said, offer ing the other his gloved hand in formal salutation as sign to begin hostilities. The next moment his right shot out and took the man upon the point of the jaw, and the left followed suit. In two minutes he was down and out Roose- welt was in form that day. All the fighting blood in him had been aroused by the unfairness of the blow. l have seen him when his blood was up for good cause once or twice, and rather think the story must be true. If were to fight him and wanted to win I should shun a foul blow as I would the pesdlence. I am sure I would not run half the risk from the latter"

A UNIT EMMA was upstairs putting N her five-year-old niece to bed.
 It had been a hard day for Bes- sic. Everything had seemed to go wrong in her little world, but to the rest of the family it appeared that the tot had simply tried to do all she could to make herself generally disagreeable.
