Another Question.

The question of the bond Of the state
treasurer may also come before the legis-
lature The treasurer gives a bond OF
$3.50. 900 at present, and there IS a. balance
Of about $600,OOO in the permanent school
fund Of the state. Under the law, state
funds are deposited In designated depos-
itaries and the bond Of the treasurer is
thereupon relieved, but there is question
whether the permanent school fund is a
state fund, or only a special fund which
the state has in trust and whether the
bond of the treasurer is relieved when
these funds are deposited. This matter
will probably be settled by the special SEES
sion.

Big Timber, Mont, Aug. 19.-Advices
received from the Saltwater country say
that following the devastation Of the
ranges by a plague of grasshoppers, the
stock has taken to eating the deadly loco
weed and many horses and cattle are
dying.
The. plant is very juicy and in dry
weather the stock appears very fond Of it.
1t appears to kill cattle in a short time,
but horses will linger many days in a
helpless condition and generally have to
be put out Of their misery. The stock
men are much alarmed and the aid of the
state will be asked to help combat the
spread of loco.
The condition Of many Of the ranges in
eastern Montana almost beggars descrip-
ton as a result of the ravages of grass
hoppers. Trains traYersing the country
have thea fronts Of engines plastered with
the sticky remains Of thousands OF the
hoppers The disturbance Of a little vege-
tation will send clouds Of the insects into

Right Of Grain Men to Sell Without
Authority to Be Tested in
.$25o,ooo Suit.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Sioux City, Iowa, Aug. 19.-The right Of
a commission company to sell grain with
out authority will be tested in a $25O,0O0
action to be begun by T. F. Bennington of
Sioux City, attorney for the bankrupt Otto,
Iowa bank, and the men who are asso-
ciated with it in board Of trade deals.
The Otto crowd. with the Mcneil Grain
company Of Sioux City, which made the
deal, bought a million bushels Of Sep
TENDER wheat in May, 1902, putting up
about $4,000 for margins. In June, the
Weare company, with whom the contract
of purchase was made. sold the holdings
without authority, claiming something
from the Mcneil company.
The wheat was bought at Y cents and
70 cents, and sold at II cents and u
cents. Before September wheat reached
95 cents and SO cents. It is the claim of
Bennington that the Weare company is
responsible to the maximum value the
holdings reached during the life of the
contract, since at no time would the
money put up for margins have been ex-
hausted. ~ sag
If his suit IS successful, the creditors OF
the Otto bank, which have but a few cents
on the dollar, will be paid in full rs "

Smith sentenced him to year in the re-

A fight is on over paving Ogden avenue,
the Barber Asphalt company and the
Bitulithic macadam people being the prin-
cipals When the council announced that
it would pave with Bitulithic paving the
asphalt folks said they would bid. The
city called for bids for the paving, as well
as for removing cedar blocks. Figuring
in the cedar blocks the asphalt company
wins by $3.50 on the entire job. The
rnacadam people win by SIT if the block
part is not counted in. Local men make
better bids for removing the cedar blocks
and so the board Of public works decided
to let the contracts for paving separately.
This would give the paving job to the
Bitulithic company and the asphalt COM
pany will make a fight to get the contract.
The chances are the paving will be de-
layed. ..- Isl. g.,
