GROSSLY EXAGGERATED.
An Official Statement Relative to Small
pox in Los Angeles.

pox in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Cal, March 13.-The off,
cial statement in regard to the smallpox
situation in Los Angeles was issued to-
day by the board of health:
Grossly exaggerated reports have re-
Gently been published to the effect that
smallpox has become dangerously preva-
lent in Los Angeles, while the facts are
to the contrary. Since the appearance of
the disease in Septembr last there have
been altogether 76 cases, the greater num-
Der occurring in the latter part Of Janu-
AIRY and the first part of February. At
the present time there are IA cases, eight
of them in the hospital and six under
quarantine in private residences. In ad-
dition there are SO persons under quar-
antine as convalescents, most of whom
are now well and will soon be discharged.
The precautions taken by the board of
health to prevent the spread of the disease
have proved most successful and the
number of new cases each week is now
less than the number of those discharged.
There is no reason to apprehend that
smallpox will become epidemic in Los
Angeles and there is no occasion for
alarm among residents or visitors to the
city.

Dover. Del, March 1s-After one of
the most exciting scenes that has ever
been witnessed in the general assembly
of this state, the session of 1899 ended
at sos o'clock this afternoon without

At the same time the term of Senator

The time agreed upon for adjourn

the 18th ballot was completed, it
lacked Is minutes to that hour by the

this end an officer or officers will be sent

A PULLING QUESTION.
Attorney General Nolan Asked to Render
an Opinion.
IN. POWERS, NJ. D..
"City Health Officer"

an Opinion.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, March 1S.-Attorney General
Nolan has received rather a puzzling
question from the county attorney of
Madison county respecting the interpreta-
ton to be put upon one of the laws of the
late legislature He wants to know about
the substitute for Representative Lose
Ramps bill authorizing the establishment
of county high schools. The bill provides
that whenever 200 school electors desire
they may petition the county commission
ers to submit to the electors of the county
the proposition of establishing high
school at the place named in the petition.
The law says nothing about n county that
has two or three places anxious to secure
the coveted high school. No provision is
made for settling the question as to which
place the high school shall go. The stua-
ton in Madison county is that there are
three or four places candidates for the
school and the county attorney does not
know how, under the law. the place most
entitled to it can be decided. The attor-
ney general before having made a careful
examination of the law said he hardly
saw how such a matter could be settled.
The problem was a knotty one. He said
it gave the commissioners power to say
which place should be voted upon in a
case like the one in point. The consttu-
tionality of the law will be thoroughly
looked into before the county attorney If
Madison county is given definite answer.
