A very grave state Of arairs prevails
in Portugal. The Portuguese govern

march the owners off to prison on the
most trif1ing OF utterly unfounded

A dispatch from Moscow says:
Judge Piper has rendered his deci-
sion on the constitutionality of the
age of consent act, passed by the
legislature of 1895, under which
w. B. McGraw is being prosecuted
for criminal assault. Although
there were some slight irregularity
with regard to the record of the
bill, as shown by the certified copy
presented by the defendants attor-
ney, there were no such defects in
its passage as shown in that Of the
fee bill, which was cited as q paral-
lei case. The irlegularity was not
such, in Judge Piper's opinion, as
to render the act unconstitutional
and void.
After rendering the decision the
trial of the case was resumed. All
the testimony for the prosecution
and the defense was submitted
before adjournment. Florence Cart
wright, the 15year-old victim Of
the alleged assault, was the most
prominent figure. Her 5-months-
old child was in her arms during

SUPREME COURT MATTERS
THE MEDICAL BILL GOES
UNDER.
Reao the UbtrO Cine by the
UttIe OnIp-Gan Collect
assessments.

the board of medical examiners is
a thing Of the past. They went
down in the supreme court Satur
day under a decision handed down
in the case of Edward G. Brown
against the board of examiners.
The case was brought to compel
the board to issue the plaintiff
license to practice medicine, 1t
was broughtin Lewiston, the plain
tiff being a resident Of that place,
but was argued in Boise during the
present terra. After reciting the
facts of the case the opinion says:
"The defendants demurred to
the petition on the ground Of in
sufficiency and on the ground that
this court has not jurisdiction of
the persons of the defendants or of
the subject matter Of the action.
The demurrer and the arguments
thereon raise a number Of ques-
tons. The first and most serious
question raised by the demurrer is
the validity of the said act COM
monty known as the medical bill,
or senate bill No SO. It necessa-
rily results that if said act is in
valid that there is in law no state
medical board in Idaho, and that
no license can be issued by the
defendants as such board.
at affirmatively appears from
the senate journal that said act
passed the senate under suspen.
sion OF section Is, article 3, Of the
constitution, and that the thret
readings were had by reading tbs
title only. The entries in the sen
ate journal which refer to the read
ings of said bill in that house ar,
as follows:
February 10-Read the frs
time by title under suspension O

tuition and senate rules by unani.

"While the last entry in the sal
journal does not say in expires
words how said third reading o,
CURED, yet from the fact that Il
senate assumed to suspend tn;
provision of the constitution r
curing the reading of the bill
full, the only reasonable inferen,
from the said journal entry is th;
the third reading was by title. Fl
constitution expressly declares tn
on final passage the bill must
read section by section Al
while the house in which bill

unless it was so read on final p;

to dispense with the final readi

CAN COLLECT ASSESSMENTS.
A decision Of much interest and
Importance was handed down by
the supreme court on the LIST inst.
in the case of l.. E. Hall, respond
ent, We. the Eagle Rock and Willow
Greek Water Company, appellant,
from Bingham county, involving
the right of canal companies tolevy
and collect assessments upon their
stock.
The plaintiff brought suit to en-
join the company from selling bis
stock for delinquent assessment,
the stock being fully paid. Judge
Standrod decided the case in his
favor, but this decision is reversed
by the supreme court.
After stating the case, the opin-
ion, which is by Justice Huston,
says:
"The court finds as fact, that at
meeting Of the defendant stock
holders, held March II, 1888, it was
duly and unanimously voted by
, three-fourths of the stockholders
. that its board Of directors be en-
powered to levy assessments upon
its capital stock, not to exceed 5
per cent cash and 10 per cent labor
in one year.
"The plaintiff became a stock
holder in defendant corporation in
September, 1888, and must be pre-
sumed to have been acquainted
with both the article 8. and the
, action had Hereunder. The plain
tiff recognized and acquiesced il
! this section of the corporation foi

"While it is doubtless true tina
+ the defendant corporation neye
filed the certificate required by sec
: ton 2650 of the revised statutes @
q Idaho of 1887, it is nevertheless
. true, and the fact is SO found by tn
court: That Immediately after tn
enactment of the revised statute
. defendant levied an assessment an
every year since has levied assess
= ments and collected the same j
e accordance with and in pursuanc
to the laws governing the assesI
ment of stock and the collection (

eve do not think that SC ction 26O9
