In Good Form Again.

IN the local field. this mornings best
news is thai the little trouble in the
Silver Bow school board has been
settled In a way that will find hearty
public approval. because the settlement
is that the four trustees who had con-
c!uded to quit the service have consent
ed to retain their trusteeship.
There has not been at any time any
question in the minds of the Butte pub
lie respecting the purpose or the inten-
ton Of these four trustees. They had
rooted out OF the board one member
who had produced the evidences of his
own utter unfitness. Their only request
was that the county superintendent APP
point for the a man Of flrst-rate
qualifications for the duties of school
trustee. They had no candidate-they
mentioned dozens OF names. they could
have mentioned a hundred from which
10 make a selection. II may be that

according to all accounts.
The four trustees will serve their
terms. and that is gratifying. because
they are good men. they have vitality
important work well in hand. the pub
lie trusts them n appreciates their
good Offices. II appears that the code

Defendant In Two Civil Suits File Their
Replies.
Two demurrers were filed IN the dis
trict court yesterday. One is In the
case Of h. Frigoli and Charles Virgilio
against Oscar Mckee, Charles O'Neal
and the Cobban Loan and Realty com-
pany OF Butte. The suit was brought
some time & to cancel a certain deed
whereby the plaintiffs transferred TO
the defendants a lot in the Northern ad-
dition and received therefor a note
which is alleged to be valueless. The
amount OF the note is 50. 900. The de-
murrer filed yesterday sets forth that
the complainant does not set up suffi-
Gent facts to constitute a cause of ac-
ton; that two causes OF action have
been improperly united in the complaint,
In that the complainants seek to recover
damages alleged to have been suffered
by them by reason of certain alleged
fraudulent and false representations
made by the defendant Mckee to the
plaintiffs and also seeks to have re-
scinded and Cancelled a certain contract.
c. ID. T~illinghast. representing the Cob

demurrer, which refers to that company

the complaint does not contain
sufficient facts to constitute a cause of

TT appears to be settled now. under

as Montana recruits under the second
call of the president are concerned.
This state managed to get the lions
share In contributing toward the total
of President McKinley's first call for
volunteers. no state responded more
promptly or generously.
When all that was conceded TO Mon
tana under the first call had been fur
nished there were scores and hundreds
of men here who were ready and will
ing to enlist and who were disap-
pointed when they found that without
them Montana's quota was complete
this was particularly true of a large
number OF men over Gallatin way who
were especially well prepared for cav
airy service. who had been led to be-
lieve that they would be enlisted and
who had equipped themselves to go
to war.
The presidents second call revived
hope among these men; hardly had the
call been issued when recruiting was
resumed and enthusiasm aroused. The
news from Washington is that under
the second call for volunteers Montana
Will hardly have a chance, although
efforts nave been made to permit this
state to furnish a contingent. 1t was
thought for a time that the depart
ment at Washington might be induced
to draw on this state for at least one
company Of cavalry. but at present
that seems not probable.

As a rule wars-even little ones-are

Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
Helena, June 6.-The supreme court
to-day passed upon an appeal from
Missoula county in which the facts pre-
sented seemed to show hat the famous
Enoch Arden case of a wife marrying
in the absence of her husband will have
to TAKE a back seat. In this case both
the husband and the wife married
again when, so far as known, distance
and not divorce OF death separated
them. The title of the case was Eliza
beth Hadley VS.. Manuel Rash, Elivira
Lowdermilk and Berthena Rash. Some
time ago Elizabeth Hadley OF Iowa
commenced the action in the district
court or Missoula county for a decree
adjudging her TO be the surviving
widow OF Daniel Rash, who died In Mis-
soula county in 1895. 1t appears that
she n Daniel Rash were married In

MAY SELECT LIEU LANDS.
A Decision by the Interior Depa rtmsn
Favorable to wyoming.

cpecidi DlSpdtCu 10 the StanOaTo.
Washington, Tune 6.-The secretary of
the interior to-day decided that Wyom-
ing is entitled to select lieu lands for
sections 10 and 36. in Yellowstone Ma
tional park. Two or three years ago
the governor OF the state raised the
question as to whether selections could
be made of school lands within Indian,
forest and other reservations. The
commissioner Of the general land ONCE
gave an opinion that the state could
select lieu lands for sections lost within
the Yellowstone park forest reserva-
lions, but not for the school sections
in the Yellowstone National park. The
governor carried his case to the secre-
tary, urging that the general act Of
1891 superseded any special acts, and
that the state should not lose the lands
to which 1t was entitled. In the de-
cision to-day the secretary says the
states contention is good. and that lieu
lands can be selected for school pur-
poses TO make up for those lost within
the park.

n I hrst the expectation was that
I Mrs. Phoebe Hearst would be
in Anaconda late in May and
that the people OF this city would take
advantage of her presence for the pur-
pose Of expressing in an informal way
their sincere thanks for her generosity
In the building of the new free library.
When plans for the event were pretty
well advanced. II was learned by tele-
grams from Mrs. Hearst that 1t would
be impossible for her to make an en-
gagement in Anaconda for May-she
was compelled to hasten east from
California.
Recent messages that Mrs.
Hearst will be In this city on Friday

ceiving this information the members

charge resumed preparations, and the
Standard learns that an interesting
programme has been arranged for next
Saturday night. The services, which
will be entirely without attempt at
