Do NOT LIKE THE PLACE
Catholics Opposed to the Site of
the New Academy.
IT is TOO FAR EAST
They Think the New School for Girls
Should Be Located Near the Cen
ter of the City - They
Urge a Change.

There is a disagreement among the
Catholics of Anaconda on the location
which has been selected where the new
teaching academy is to be built. The
Catholics of the east end are elated
over the fact that the academy will
be situated in the eastern portion of
the city, whilst the Catholics of the
them.
This new educational institution
will be built by the Ursuline sisters,
who have their headquarters at St. Pc
ter's mission in Cascade county, Mon
tana. The sisters have already select
ed their site, which is in the east end
of the city. 1t comprises lots Nos. IL
to 20, in block No. 80. These are sit
uated east of the foundry, bounded on
the south by Fourth street, on the west
by Adams street. and on the east by
jefferson.
The selection of the location mas
proven satisfactory to the residents of
the east end, but not so with the resi-
dents of the west end, who claim that
numerous selections could have been
made which would have proven more
satisfactory. Many were in favor of
the location where the old library was
situated.
Several prominent Catholics We're
seen yesterday by a Standard reporter,
and they gave their opinions as fol-
lows:
Theo Ehret: THE academy should
be more centrally located. The town
won't grow much more further down,
and the academy will be the last build
ing within the city limits. AS there
are no electric cars going near there,
it will be very inconvenent for the
majority of the people"
A. c. MacCallum of the firm of Mac
Callum & Cloutier: My candid opin-
ion in the matter is that the academy
should be situated where the old lib
rary used to be, that is on Third street,
between Oak and Cherry streets. That
would be more central and l am sure
it would be more satisfactory to the
majority of the residents of Anaconda. -
Street Commissioner Shovlin Il don
consider it the proper place If it is to
be built at all. That location is too
far down and it's no place for an acad-
envy of that kind. It's not going to be
built for a year or for a few years,
but it is going to be a permanent place
and for that reason it should be right
in the heart of the city"
City Clerk Joe Peters: I'm my opin-
ion the selection is not a proper loca-
ton"

idea that this academy Will be for all
the children of the city but it is not.
The sisters came here to establish a
school for the children of St Peters
parish, and then If the people of st.
Paurs parish want an academy, they
will be accommodated. 1t is sure that
if the school is successful here, an acad-
envy will be built in the west end"
Father Coopman said yesterday: st
Peters parish has more need of a
school of this kind than st. Paurs par
ish has. There are more children here,
and they are greatly in need of edu-
cation. The sisters will rent build
ing where they will begin educating,
and the work of constructing the new
institution will be pushed rapidly"

City druggists have determined to fight
the Police Court decision, and to continue
to sell malt extract and like preparations.
Notwithstanding the fact that it was held
in the court in the case against the firm
of Mackall Bros. that the extract is a
fermented liquor. and cannot be sold
without a license. The Mackall Bros. ap-
pealed from the decision. and their per-
sonal bonds were taken. The case is now
before the Court of Appeals, but will
not be argued for some weeks to come.
Every druggist in Washington is deeply
interested in the outcome Of this case, for
it is held that if they cannot sell malt eX-
tracts or like preparations without liquor
license. or only on a physicians certifi-
cate, it will result in injuring many drug
stores.
These malt extracts are prescribed by
physicians for debilitated persons. They
are not used as a beverage, nor are they
sold in saloons. President Harper, of the
Druggists Association, said TO a Times
reporter today that it was little singular
that the malt question should just be taken
I'D at this time. The druggists. he said.
had been selling malt extracts for years.
and no one had ever raised the question
that il was against the law. 1t could not
be sold on a physicians prescription for
the reason that not more than half
pint of liquor can be sold on a prescrip-
tion. and the malt extract bottles hold
pint.
This whole question will probably be
taken TO the Supreme Court of the United
States. should the Court of Appeals sus-
tain the decision of the Police Court.

BOYS SPANKED IN COURT.
A Recorders Plan to Make TheI
Mend Their Ways.


Mend Their Ways.
JERSEY CITY, n. j., Nov. 1.-Recorder
Keegan sat in his court at Kearney, N. j.,
yesterday, much puzzled. Before him
stood FIVE weeping boys. whose ages ranged
from nine years to twelve. They had
been captured by a detective in a freight
car Of the Erie Railroad. They were eat
ing apples, and broken apple barrel told
the tale of their wickedness. The Erie had
been losing much fruit for long time.
and had made an extra effort to catch the
pilferers. The captives were the sons o.
respectable families of the town. Their
names were James Allen. John TollnIan,
James Mcbride, James Ford, and Charles
Colcon.
The recorder took counsel with Police
Captain Tolen, who is regarded as a Solo,
mon in Kearney. Have 'em spanked
said the captain, sententiously. Then the
captain recalled the fact that once before
some boys had been spanked for wicked
ness. and had forever mended their ways.
THAT is bright thought" said the re-
coroer. Suppose you send for their
fathers"
The fathers came and agreed that a
spanking was Just the thing. A father
stepped up to a table, and Captain Tolen
handed his belt to him. Twelve hard
whacks were laid on the boy. Each boy
yelled, for the punishment hurt. When all
had been spanked they were allowed to go
in the custody of the fathers.

SACRIFICES TO oBEAH.
i Child Offered to n Heather God In
DOmi nicR.

NEW YORK, Nov. Letters received
here from Kingston, Jamaica, dated Octo-
Der "a, say that sensational story of
Obeah in its most extreme development
comes from Dominica, the British island in
the Leeward group. According to the off,
cial reports of the circuit court Of the
Leeward Islands man is in custody
charged with having deliberately murdered
a child for the purpose Of offering human
sacrifice to his "Mumbo Jumbo in con-
nection with search for alleged hidden
treasure.
In view of the enormity of the offence
and the extreme penalty involved, the
jurors concluded not to agree on any ver
dict. thus causing the trial to be post
poned to a subsequent session. This, how
ever. in no way affects the facts of the
case.
The attorney general said that there was
no doubt that the child had been made a
victim of a grave and barbarous supersti-
ton which exists in these Islands. This
counsel for the defence freely admitted
but he argued that the prisoner was not the
person who committed the murder.
One of the leading West Indian news
papers. the "Demerara Argosy," referring in
ReneTdl pldCeS III WHICH the
Obeah man is terrible power for evil
owing TO the intensity Of the ignorance and
superstition of the Inhabitants says:
THE Jamaica newspapers for some months
past have been giving through the records
of the law courts very disagreeable glimpses
into the condition of the social life of the
common people. But, loathesome though
these reports must be to all who wish the
West Indies well, they are surpassed in
tragic villainy by this Dominica case. When
Consul st. John published his book about
Haiti and exposed the practice of sacrifice
ing the goat without the horns Ia human
being) at the voodoo worship, great horror
was expressed over the condition of the
French cannibals, but ii never occurred to
English readers that a similarly hellish
condition of affairs existed in their own
colonies.
I'm Haiti, the hornless goat was, per-
haps still is, used for human food So lit
tie seems to be known about the inner rites
Of the Obeah religion in some of the Eng
lish West Indian islands that it is impos-
sible for anyone to say that cannibalism
of similar kind is not to be found among
them. The revelation in the Dominica case,
and the admitted certainty that the child
was sacrificed TO Obeah, make it possible
TO believe that in points Of African
savagery there is to be found in Dominica
a section Of the inhabitants fit to take their
stand alongside Of the savages in Haiti
