HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY FUND.

Money Needed to Improve III Library
Plant. &
1t has long been the intention OF Prot.
Merritt, principal Of the high school, to
make several important additions to the Ii
brary Of the institution. but a lack OF funds
has prevented him from carrying out his
plan. He has fsally decided, with the
hearty approval and ooncurrsncs Of Prof.
Young, TO make an attempt to raise ths
needed means BY public entertainments
given especially for ths purpose.
Ths first Of these viii be given at the
Methodist church. On Broadway, next Friday
evening At eight o'clock, whom y. "a. Mac
Knight will present his interesting and in
superb Vows OF scenes connected with tho
famous Con- ican's life will DO shown as
they were whom the lecture was given at
MlnR's opera house. There will be several
new pictures, and all will be exhibited in =
more attractive way than on that occasion,
a. q diasolving apparatus will be added to
the sto%reopticon.
As the prices have been placed at so cents
for adults and % cents for children, there
10 sure to be Z crowded house, but the
church Will seat several hundred comforta-
bly,, and care will be taken to avoid the
sale of moro tickets than are represented
BY the seating capacity OF the house. Rov.
Or. Rollins he's given the use of the church
will furnish the lecture at 4 low figure also,
to enable tho library fun to receive a sub
stantial addition. The pupils Of the high
school ars snthusiast1o over the prospects,
and are working hard to make the enter
t1lnm0nt a pronounced SUCCESS.

He EXCEEDED HIS POWER.
An Important Ruling by the SUI
prone Bench on Court Clerks
Duties.
Tho State Board Of Medical Elk
aminers Wins Another Of
It's Cases.
Moving this Cannon Case AIong-Thrse
Years for burglary Returned To
Denyer-Alimony Asked.

The supreme court ysstsrday handed
down a decision In the case Of William
Kano. OF Meagher county, whose person
and property were placed under the guar
dianship of Daniel Driscoll on the grounds
that he (Kane) wss incompetent to take
caro- Of himself. The order to this effect
was issued by the clerk of the district conrt
OF Asagher county on May z, 1891, In tina
absence OF the judge. Kane appealed to
the luprsme court. Drisooll moved to dis
miss the appeal on the ground that Kane
was : person dsad in law, and incapable Of
sizing or being saed, and that the order Ia
not appealable. The supreme court says
the order il appsslabls. Tho court further
says That an insane person ID allowed to ap-
PLY, BY petition, to have the fact OF his rsa-
toration TO capacity judicially determined.
Kama had avhiled himself Of the privilege
OF asking = REVOCATION OF the order ap-
appointing Driacoll guarpisn, but this,
ths court, says, docs not affect his
right to appeal from the original order.
The motion to dismiss the appeal il. there
fore, denied. The act Of March 6, 1891,
conferred On clerks Of district courts the
power, in vacation, to grant letters Of
guardianship whore there were no protests
Or objections. Any such action OF tho clerk
j. TO be binding until the next term Of
court, whom they are to be either approved,
set aside, or modified BY the Judge. The
supreme court says il does not appear that
tho acts Of the clark in the Kane case were
ever acted On by the court. I'VE do not
think" the opinion says, shat the legisla-
tive assembly intended to clothe tho clerk
OF the district court with authority to hear
evidence and determine that tho person is
incapable Of taking ears OF himself and
managing bis property. This involves the
exercise Of judicial functions that must
preoede the appointment OF q guardian.
The express limitation of the action of the
clerk to matters where there are no pro-
tests or objections demonstrates that there
was no intention to give judicial powers to
this officer. Ths statute concsrninpt tbs insane
must recsivs a strict construction and ito
requirements are mandatory. No judicial
power Of this grave character has been
vested in the clerk Of the district court,
and the judge thereof has the sole power
undsr the constitution and laws Of tho state,
OF granting or refusing a petition like that
Of Driscoll. The adjudication Of the clerk
thereon il a nullity." The order appealed
from il reversed and the case remandsd for
further proceedings. Tho decision il i'm
psrtant As securing q final ruling for the
first time on the scope Of the powers of 4
county clerk under the law OF the last
legislature.

Hom. Merchants Favored

The business men of Helena are feeling
very happy these days over the more ssine
tendency seen among the people of Helena
to patronize home merchants. They haye
for years been trying to educate tho people
up to the idea that there are such things as
good goods and reasonable prices in the
west. Their efforts, seconded BY tho news
papers Of the city, seem to be producing the
desired results,
Msssrs. Raleigh d Clarke, the largest dry
goods merchants in town, say that they are

He Must BE Examined.

A decision in the case of DR.. James Craig
against the state board of medical examin-
ers was handed down by the supreme court
yesterday. This is on ono Of the many
questions that are constantly arising az to
the right of the board to require physicians
to stand examination before rracticing
their profession in this state. Tho point
involved in the Craig oass was whether a
physician, coming from another state, with
a regular certificate from a legitimate
school Of medicine. must submit to exam
practice. Judge Buck, in the district court
for this county, hold that examination BY
the board was necessary. The supreme
affirma his decision.
