Market for Cattle and Sheep
Steady and Active.

Denver. Colo. Jan. 17.-Several
lunches of good beef steers were on
sale. and as packers were needing
supplies and were making good in
luiry, sellers were not long in closing
out their offerings at full steady prices.
One bunch of good 1000 pound steers
from the North park country. loaded
at Laramie. Wyo.. went to the packers
at $4.25. which was the best sale re-
ported.
The supply of cows was also fair
and some very good ones offered. The
demand for these was good and all sold
readily. A string of over 100 head
were good enough to bring 1925. with
a cut-out at 50, and others sold at $1.35
$3.50.
The demand for good beef cows is
expected to be good all week, but the
call for Gamers and the common stuff
while fair. is not so strong.
Bulls were in fair supply and sold at
$40 to $2.25, and the best veal calves
brought s.. All cows and mixed were

LEGISLATURE IS
COMING TOMORROW

amendments n a conference commit
McGill and Sullivan from the senate
and Messrs. Clark, Hayden and Jack
son from the house, was appointed
to bring the bill to a shape acceptable
in both branches.
The senate bill regarding teachers
certificates, nearly the same as the
Atherly bill in the house, was intro
duced. MIR. Atherly, who introduced
the measure in the house, amended it
to conform to the senate bill, making
the time five years instead of ten in
which a teacher should be continuously
and successfully employed to entitle
him or her to renewal of teachers GER
tificate without further examinations.
The two bills are now exactly alike,
and it seems fair to presume that
they will pass the respective branches
and go to the governor.
The following bills were introduced
today:
House bill No. 81, appropriating to
the Wyoming agricultural college
81 300 in the inheritance income
fund.
House bill No. 90, by Gildroy, provid-
ing for safety for miners.
House bill No. %, by Sammon, to
abrogate the abandonment clause in
water right cases.
House bill No. "a. by Collett, pro-
viding for uniformity with other states
III negotiable instruments.
House bill No. 25. by Black, to pro
a special tax for the Rock Springs
hospital.
House bill No. 26, providing for the
abandonment OF the branch fish hatch
cries at Lander, Saratoga and Sun
dance and disposal Of the property Of
the same.
Four bills in the house, Nos. 1. s, 8
and 0. were ordered e%ngrossed and ad-
vanced to third reading.
House bill No. 2 was ordered en-
crossed as amended
, 1905-01-17

Cheyenne. Wyo., Jan. 17.-In the
house yesterday afternoon the follow
ing bills were introduced and referred:
House bill No. II. by Mr.. Bristol, an
act relating to abstracts. fixing fees,
etc.
House bill No. 10. by Mr.. lredale.
providing for a municipal court for in
corporated cities and towns in WyO-
ming.
House bill No. 10, by the delegation
from Sweetwater county, to appropri-
ate $4,000 for permanent improve
ments for the wyoming general hos
pital and directing the state board of
charities and reform to expend the
same.
House bill No. 20, by Mr.. Sieverts.
relating to the inspection by sheriffs
of brands on horses.
Mr.. Sleeper moved that the speaker
be authorized to appoint a committee
from the senate to examine the books
of the state treasurer and the state
auditor. The motion prevailed and the
speaker appointed Messrs. King and
Sleeper.
A motion to adjourn until 10 o'clock
Friday was made by Mr.. King, when
Mr.. Atherly announced that the COM
mittee appointed by the house had re-
ceived a communication from the
Union Pacific stating that it would be
impossible for it to furnish a train
for the legislature until Wednesday
morning.
A communication was then received
from the senate announcing the
slaughter of the legislature a%ppropria-
ton bill and asking br- a concurrence
on the part of the house. AS the SEN
ate had stripped the bill Of all the Sec
lions except those referring to the act
ual legislative appropriations. the
house decided to think the matter
over before concurring and adjourned
until 10 O'Clock today.

Niedringhaus will undoubtedly be

ator. General Cockrell was nominated

vas a strict party vote, with one dem
ocrat absent. which resulted: Cock

The majority reports of the house
committee, finding the charges against
N~iedringhaus without basis, were fol
lowed by the Introduction of a minor
ity report today c%ensuring the repub-
lican members Of the committee for its
attempt to execute the orders of the
house in bad faith by taking advan-
tage of a mistake by which the investi-
cation of the city" in stead of the

ARE QUITE PECULIAR.

In the Changes.

New York, Jan. 17.-Rearrangement
Of the Northwestern situation is, accord

son for the sudden unexpected rise OF
the Pacific stocks the last few days.
According to the report an agreement
has been reached by all parties inter.
ested under which, after the final de.
cision Of the Northern Securities case,
the situation will be settled as follows:
The great Northern will retain the
Burlington system; the Union Pacific
will secure the Northwestern and the
Milwaukee & ST. Paul will secure con
troll of the Northern Pacific.
The novel feature of the statement
is that Of giving the st. Paul control
of the Northern Pacific and not vice
versa.
This apparently immaterial change
In the plan will, 1t is declared, make
every difference in the world. We're
the Northrn Pacific to take over the
st. Paul the Hill-Morgan interests con.

would also be controlling the Northern
Pacifc-St. Paul alliance, but, by Civ.
ing the Northern Pacific to the st
Paul, the control of the road over which
all the trouble in the dispute Of 1901
arose will be virtually in neutral hands
namely. those Of the Rockefeller-Ro

carried out by an interchange of direc-

HE HAS TWO SUITS.
Western Ranchman Who Owes 100000
and Has Nothing.

Evanston, Wyo., Jan. IA sensa-
ton was created here when Frank
Beckstead. a wealthy sheepman of this
county. filed bankruptcy proceedings in

sented by two suit of clothes owned
by Beckstead. Beckstead was n of
the sufferers by the severe winter of
1902, and at that time was forced to
mortgage his ranch and has been un-
able to relieve the mortgage.
