HERMAN VIII IN TROUBLE.
Arrested in Yellowstone County for Steal
iRJ Shee,.

Billings, Nov. 27.-Herman Witt n
prominent sheepman of this county.
was today held to the district eourt
under $3.50 bonds by Justice Frazer
on n charge OF stealing about go
sheep belonging to l. ID. ODonnell OF
this city.
Witt and n former partner nnmed
Rudolph Schultz were arrested about
a week ago and both bound over for
appearance at the preliminary, to be
held last Saturday. Witt appeared.
but Schultz failed to appear, and It's
thought he has fled. His bond has
been declared forfeited. The arrest
was caused by Stock Inspector Col.
lins. O'Donnell brought a civil suit
for the recovery OF thesheep and dam
ages. The sheep were turned oyerto
him, and Witt also paid O'Dounell
$500 as damages, whcreupon thcciyil
suit was dismissed.
Witt had recently adopted the same
brand O'Donnell used, and when the
sheep were examined 1t appeared that
the new brand had been put directly
over the old one, and where the sheep
had double brand the new brand
was found over the old In both
places.

A New Montana Industry.

Newspapers In Montana will he
printed on Gallatln valley paper be-
fore year from today. Henry Alt
enbrand. president Of the concern
which has control OF the paper mill
and other large interests at Manhat-
tan. was In Gullatin county last
week from his home In New York.
While here he instructed Manager
George Kinkel to send compliment
ary order OF print paper to each daily
and weekly paper in the state, as
soon as the print paper department
it in operation. Mr.. Kinkcl states
that the brown paper and straw
board will be ready for the market
about the middle of December, but
the finer grades Of paper will not he
ready until spring. 1t IL reasonable
to suppose that the Manhattan mill
will get the print paper trade OF the
state when in operation, as there
will be great saving in freight.
Print paperin less tha n car load lots
is shipped into Montana at a freight
rate which IL exactly as much per
pound as the epaper itself. The report
Of the bureau of agriculture, labor
and industry estimates the number
OF pounds used annually by Montana
newspapers at 2,2S+,OOO. Allowing35
pounds to the ream, this, stretched
out the width Of the average page,
would make n ribbon reaching around
the globe, with nearly n thousand
miles to spare. The company at
Manhattan has made preparations
to enlargcits plant, which will he run
at the full capacity night and day
to make paper enough to go round.
The Chronicle will get out u special
edition on the first paper from Man.

THE NEW CURRENCY MtlSuRt.
Provisions Of the Bill Agreed Upon by
Committees During Vacation.

The chief features OF the house bill
are those which relate To the metal
lie standard. The substance ot the
bills has reached the public, but here
tofore in somewhat disconnected
form. The following is II synopsis
OF the main features Of the house bill:
l.. That the present gold dollar Is
the standard unit Of value In the
United States.
2. That all interest-bcarng obliga-
tions OF the United States for the
payment OF money, now existing or
hereafter issued, and all United States
notes and treasury notes, shall be
deemed to be paid in gold coin. and
that all other obligations, public and
private, shall be performed in con-
formity with this standard,
8. That there shall bccstablished in
the treasury department n division
OF issue and redemption, which shall
keep gold reserve for the mainten-
ance Of the parity OF money, separate
from the fiscal operations Of the
treasury.
4. That gold reserve shall be con-
stituted equal to . per cent of the
combined amount oi United States
notes and tire lsury notes Outstand-
ing.
3. That the secretary Of the treas-
ury may sell per cent bonds. pay
able in gold, whenever necessary to
maintain the gold reserve nj II proper
amount and to maintain the parity
OF all forms Of money issued by the
United States.
These provisions are so clear-cut
and straightforward that they prac-
tically explain themselves. II enact
ed into law they will place the United
States among the other advanced
commercial nations, with gold as the
fixed standard OF value. The senate
bill has not yet been given final form,
but differs mainly from the house bill
In creating a stronger gold reserve
and giving the secretary Of the treas
ury even broader powers. The house
bill would provide II gold reserve at
the outset Of about lla,0O0,00O. The
senate bill will place this amount
much higher, probably at the even
sum of SljO,00O. 900. The house bill
provides for maintaining the silver
dollars at parity with gold by au-
thorizing the secretary OF the treas
ury Mt his discretion TO exchange
gold coin for any other money issued
or coined by the United States. The
senate bill is expected to leave no dis
erection to the secretary, but put
every holder OF gold or silver dol
lar upon the same plancby providing
for eXchangeability OF either coin for
the other at the will oi the holder

CANNOT ENFORCE VACCINATION.
Attorney General Nolan Decides That
School Boards Have Not the
Original Power.
Helena IIerald.l


A school board does not possess
the right to deprive any pupil OF the
privilege of going to school because
the pupil has not been vaccinated in
times OF a smallpox epidemic, unless
the board ia acting under orders
from the county board OF health.
This Is the meaning of IN opinion of
Attorney General Nolan, prepared in
response to an inquiry from Fergus
county. Mrs. Jenny Connolly in
formed the attorney general that the
school board of Gilt Edge, the min
ing camp 20 miles east of Lewistown,
had denied her children admission TO
the school unless they had been vac
cinated. She wanted to know il the
board possessed such authority, and
II not, how she could protect her in
terests. Replying, Mr.. Nolan says:
"In the absence of statutory au-
thority school board IL not Mt lib
erty to exclude children from attend
ance at school by reason Of non-com-
pliance with an order directing the
vaccination OF children. The legis-
lative assembly OF this state has not
conferred upon school boards au-
thority to adopt regulations Of the
kind indicated, and the regulation
adopted Is utterly null and void.
Boards Of health are provided for In
this state. and where an epidemic Is
prevalent In any community regula-
tions may be adopted to prevent Its
spread and to lessen and mitigate it's
destructive influences. Undoubtedly
under the law as it stands the board
of health of your county. were small
pox generally prevalent, could pro-
vide as n regulation that school chill
dren should be vacclnated, and II such
a regulation were promulgated the
school trustees then undoubtedly
would have the right to make an or
der such as was made In the present
instance. Without the board Of
health acting, however, an order
such as was made Is void. II the
trustees persist In excluding your
children by reason OF noncompliance
with their order, you can compel the
board by mandamus proceedings to
receive your children"
