Other Matters Considered.

Other matters beside Santo Domin-
go were taken up by the senate in ex-
ecutive session, it being the general
idea that because of delay in getting in
certain nominations from the White
House time could be used profitably
in the discussion of other treaties.
The Nicaraguan extradition treaty was
ratified and the Russian arbitration
treaty was discussed at some length
Then a number of nominations were
confirmed
The Newlands resolution was agreed
to, calling upon the president, if not
incompatible with the public interests,
to send to the senate certain informa-
tion in regard to Dominican affairs.
Senator Morgan started a speech
against the treaty at 1:15 and still had
the floor when recess was taken.

THE SUPREME COURT DECLARES
MIGRATORY LAW is VIOLA
TON OF CONSTITUTION.
Rendered on Part of Law Providing for
Assessment of Stock About to
Be Removed.

1t is very probable that the sheep
men of Walla Walla county will win
their suit that they have instituted in
the circuit court at La Grande to have
the migratory stock law of Oregon de-
clared unconstitutional. At Salem yes
terday the Oregon supreme court in
the suit appealed from Lake county
affirmed the decision of Judge Benson
declaring portion of the law uncon-
stitutional. The action was brought
by Lake county against A. B. Schroed-
er to recover upon an assessment of
his livestock, which he was about to
remove into another county, according
to the rate of levy of the previous year,
it being alleged the defendant had no
real property to secure payment of
the tax.
The decision was rendered on that
part of the law providing for the as
sessment of livestock about to be re-
moved from the county at the rate of
levy of the previous year, which the
court holds to be unjust and unequal
taxation.

Chances Offered at Spokane Interstate
State.

Persons who wish to exhibit at the
Spokane Interstate fair, which opens
this year October 9, should send at
once to Manager Robert H. Cosgrove
for a premium list. There are plenty
of chances this year for persons in this
part of the country to win premiums
in one or more departments. 1t is re-
ported that there is larger demand
than usual for the premium lists, which
already are running short. Many east
ern visitors will be at the fair this
year and this district should not only
make a district exhibit for which lib
eral prize is offered, but individual
farmers and fruit growers should cap
ture as many prizes as possible.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

Editor of the Evening Statesman:
Recently while visiting in the west
ern part of Walla Walla county, which
is very rough, l saw harvest workers
abuse their horses so cruelty as to
make the blood run cold in ones veins
In some cases they would lash and beat
the poor animals along until they
were almost tagged out and then, when
stopping time came, they would ang-
rily beat the horses away from the
watering trough before they had mad
half enough to drink. Others, after
having worked horses until they were
overheated and unable to do more
work, would tie them in the stable and
let the msuffer for want of food and
water.
the same tendency among harvest la
borers to abuse the horses that were
intrusted to their care. But it is not
only the hired men who mistreat
horses. Owners often treat them just
as badly.
What does a farmer gain by over
working, half-feeding, half-watering
and beating MS horses and having
them so weak and stiff and tired that
they are utterly unable to do a days
work? If a horse that labors faith
fully for his master during his whole
life is not worth good food, pure water
and good care then his owner had far
better sell him and embark in some
business in which he does not have the
care of dumb animals.
If men VINO habitually abuse animals
were treated in the same way they
would probably open their eyes and
"see themselves as others see tnem."

WOMAN GETS AMAZANTI.
Sudden Rise to Affuence of An Iowa
Working Girl.

CEDAR FALLS, Ia, Aug. 8.-Henry
Man Mazanti, a wealthy merchant of
this place, married Miss Mary Hansen,
a servant in the home of H. H. Seerley,
president of the Iowa state normal COL
lege.
1t had been common talk that Ma
zanti was to wed the daughter of a
Cedar Falls banker and a leader in
social circles. When the Seerleys re-
turned last night from Ireton, Mich,
where they had been spending two
weeks in a cottage, Miss Hansen did
not have the house "tidied up as they
expected. On the contrary, she met
President Seerley and informed him
of her new situation in life.
Mazanti came to Cedar Falls several
years ago and secured work with
Henry Johnson, banker He is so years
of age and is now much richer than
the man by whom he was first en-
ployed.
Miss Hansen is a pretty girl, half the
age of her rich husband. She came
over from Denmark several years ago
and has since served as domestic in
President Seerley's family.
The newly married people will visit
ST. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth and
take lake trip for their honeymoon.
