A dispatch from Canton, o., says
On the marriage record in the Office o.
the Probate Judge of Stark county ap.
pears the names, Francis Schlatter and
Mrs. Margaret Ferris, as parties to
whom license had been granted to
become husband and wife. His age is
put down at Al years and hers at 81
years. The man VINO is to be the groom
in the case claims to be the original
Francis Schlatter who worked wonder
full cures in Denver and other parts of
the West, but who was reported to
have died. The man here says the origi'
nal Schlatter is alive, and that he is the
fellow. He, whether true or false, has
had wonderful success here in making
the people believe he has healing pow
or, and is doing big business and
coming money. The Mrs. Marga-
ret Ferris named is tie widow
of Ferris, the inventor of the
wonderful wheel which bears his name.
She has been dwelling in Canton since
the death of her husband in Pittsburg.
Her sister, Mrs. Bockuns, is resident
of Canton. Sunday was the first meet
ing of Schlatter and Mira. Ferris. 1t
occurred at a spiritualist resort near
this city. Mrs. Ferris was taken sick
and Schlatter was called at the request
Of Miss Gaul, the Baltimore test
medium, to treat the woman. Schlat-
ter was apparently successful. On

home. He called again Tuesday al.
though it made him late. She walked
with him downtown to near the place
of his holding public healing meetings:
He applied his hands on people and
handkerchiefs. Later he got the license.
Mrs. Ferris denies that she gave her
consent to the action. Schlatter says
he acted with her knowledge and con-
sent. Mrs. Ferris says she will not
marry him. Mrs. Bockius declares
that it was the act of Svengali, if her
sister has consented to marry Schlat.
ter. Schlatter denied getting license
until it fell from his pocket. Then he
said it was a joke. Finally he acknowl-
edged that it was obtained in good faith,
and said that the marriage would occur
at time yet to be selected. Mrs. Fer

Superintendent Carleton's Opinion on u
Matter of Importance.


Matter of Importance.
Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
Helena. Feb. 12.-E. A. Carleton. state
superintendent of schools, in response
To an inquiry from Il west sile county
superintendent of SCHOOLS. has decided
a question that is OF special importance
TO all school boards. He was asked In
order that a school order ne valid who
must sign 1.-THE clerk and how many
.rustees?" Tie supefintcnden. says
that If the order has been regularly
passed hy the school board it Will be
valid If signed w only the chairman II
he board and the clerk. The question
n point came from Missoula. but is enc
hat is often asked by officers of school
districts. In the course of his opinion,
superintendent Carleton says:
II have carefully examined the case
,f the state ex rel. VS.. Dickerman nc
Mont. 2IS). This case when rightly un-
ierstood. decides that a board of school
.rustees' may, al regular or special
meeting audit a legal claim, and that
ts chairman and secretary Lndcr di-
'cction or y vote Of the school board
1t such meeting may issue and sign a
ialid warrant therefor. Quoting from
he opinion: 1t is not disputed that the
trustees properly audited the claim for
which this warrant was issued. That
$. the board examined aud allowed tne
.laim and the same was by said board
ordered paid. or as was probably the
practice or custom If the board In
question, warrant drawn by ,he clerk
which was signed by him and the chair
nan in payment of said claim. Here a
we'll known principle of law applies !:
What one has authority to do, he can
as a genral rule, delegate such author
.ty To another.
THE trustees howr' - voted u ray
The claim, delegating the formal p)wer
1f drawing and signing the warran. to
the clerk and under such circumstances
our supreme court says that such a
warrant is in due form and hence valid.
This is all however 10 decide upon the
the point in controversy. But suppose.
for example. a chairman and clerk OF a
school board should issue warrant
without being authorized by vote of the
trustees at regular or special meet
ing then such warrant is absolutely
void. This latter was the kind of case
! was considering I'm my former opinion,
not the case of a board which at a
regular meeting had ordered its chair
man and clerk to issue a warrant in
payment of the claim which the board
had audited and ordered paid. Hence.
II follows that II the warrants in dis
pute by whatsoever board issued were
for legal claims against the district and
were properly audited by the school
board at regular or special meeting
and ordered paid then the same are
valid though signed only by the chair
man and clerk. If such warrants were
not audited or ordered drawn In pay
ment of legal claims at a regular or
special meeting OF the board. or IL a
majority Of the trustees did not attend
such meeting. or II attending. a major
ity refused 10 or failed TO audit the
claim in question or to order warrant
drawn in payment therefor, then. II a
warrant is issued under such circum-
stances, II is null and void.
