j. Nat Londoner, the medical student
who is studying medicine under DR.. H.
II. Hansen, will have a very excellent
opportunity of studying the character
istics Of smallpox by reason of the fact
that he is under forcible detention at
the Home restaurant al 233 South Main
street, where Charles McCants is quar-
antined with smallpox. DR.. Hansen.
who was treating McCants for pneu-
monia when DR.. Alexander discovered
he had smallpox. learned yesterday
morning that the whereabouts of his
patient had been discovered by the
health officers and that DR.. Monroe,
the smallpox physician. had diagnosed
the case as smallpox. AS he was not
convinced that he was wrong in his
opinion of the case. he sent his assis-
tant. Mr.. Londoner to see McCants ana
take a photograph of him. While Mr..
Iondoner was at the bedside of the pa
tent Sanitary Inspector Cronin ar
rived at the restaurant and placed it
under quarantine. Mr.. Londoner want
ed to leave, but the inspector held that,
having seen the sick man, he was sub
ject to quarantine. and he was locked
up to remain with McCants till he gets
well. Mr.. Londoner consoled himself
least he was where he would not have
to depend on the city to get something
to eat.
McCants is one of the proprietors of
the restaurant and lives in the build
ing. 1t was from this place that he
was taken to a place where he could
be more properly nursed when he was
taken sick and he was returned there
when it was found he had smallpox. At
the time the quarantine was put on
yesterday there were several persons
eating in the place, who knew
nothing about there being smallpox in
the house, and they We're required to
submit to the quarantine regulations.
Another complaint was filed in the
police court yesterday against DR.. Han
sen and he will he rearrested to-day.
1t is said he will be arrested every day
on a separate charge till he reports The
case to the health department. This
action is to be taken under the ordi-
nance which makes it separate Of

Libby, Dec. Sin the Standard s
Great Falls correspondence under date
of the 9Th inst, about the refusal of the
Great Northern railway to pay its spe-
cial school taxes in that district there
is a statement to the effect that a
committee of the school board inter-
viewed A. j. Shores, the Great North
ern's legal representative, and among
other things he Is reported to have
made the following statement:
Regarding the statement made in a
Flathead paper that the Great Northern
railway would pay their taxes there.
provided the balance of the taxpayers
did, will say that it will not be done,
nor do believe such a statement was
made by any enc in connection with the
road 1t is wrong, and no special
school taxes will be paid in Flathead
or any other county that was not le-
gally assessed"
The statement in a Flathead paper to
which Mr.. Shores refers was made in
the Libby News in its issue of the 23d
of November and it was made on the
authority of c. Hayden. a special tax
agent of the Great Northern, who was
in kalispell on the Monday proceeding
the 23d for the purpose of paying the
taxes for the Great Northern and for
the purpose of arriving at settlement
of the special school tax matter. AS
result of his visit the county treasurer
received a check from him for s26,2S922,
the amount of the tax for that COM
pany, outside of the special school tax.
There being considerable interest taken
iD the question as to whether the Great
Northern would pay its special school
tax, this matter was taken up with
Mr. Hayden by Mr.. Noffsinger and H.
S. Cannon. both members of the school
board at kalispell. the former also the
Great Northerns local counsel and the
latter one Of the most prominent bust
ness men in kalispell. While the dis
cussion was in progress a representa-
tive of the Libby News Joined the
group and in the presence of the three
parties above mentioned Mr. Hayden
made the following statement, in sub
stance, to which any of them will at
test:
1.-THE Great Northern will not pay its
special school taxes in Flathead county
in the following districts: No. and NO.

are what are termed 'shoestring' dis

tricts have strung their jurisdiction
over what the company holds to be an
unreasonable amount of the company's
roadbed for the only purpose of getting
the assessment of the line in their re-

w. P. Hornbecll, a resident of Rock

the qualification of his desire to have
Edward Leach prosecuted for receiv-
ing stolen property with the knowledge
that it was stolen. Mr.. Hornbeck
called at the office of the city attorney
yesterday and told story of Leach
having bought some property that had
been stolen from him. and said he
wanted Leach prosecuted. He was
given complaint and he took it TO
Justice Nichols to file and have war
rant issued. When Judge Nichols re-
quested him to sign the complaint, he
asked if the words knowing the same
to have been stolen could not be
stricken from the complaint, as he said
he was not just positive Leach bought
the property with the knowledge that
it had been stolen. When told he would
have to sign the document as 1t stood
If he wanted a warrant he concluded
he could not conscientiously do it, and

HIS OWN POLICEMAN.
Howard Arrested IcAllen for Breaking
His Window.


Albert Howard acted as his own po-
liceman and arrested William McAllen
for breaking his window, and by so doing
got himself arrested through a peculiar
circumstance. Howard runs little res
taurant at 1875 South Wyoming street.
Last evening McAllen, who was out on a
drunk, passed his place and felt called on
to smash one of the windows. Howard
ran out and took after McAllen who ran
I'D the street till he got tired and then
turned to fight. In the scuffle Howard
pulled off McAllen's watch and chain.
and then McAllen took to his heels again.
Howard chased him along Park street
till he reached the Jail alley, and both
turned into it. Officer O'Brien came on
the scene. and not knowing the circum-
stances. decided to arrest both. When
McAllen's watch was found in Towards
possession at the Jail he was accused o.
stealing it, and a charge was preferred
against him as well as against McAllen.

"A number of the actors of the
stranded Electrician company have Sc
cured other engagements and have left
Butte. George Boyer, the manager,
has gone with Human Hearts, as
advance representative, and Mr. Fair
banks, the villain in THE Electrician
has also secured a place with ''IIu-
man Hearts and has gone to Seattle
to join that company. w. r. Ogden,

company to join the Rays Hot Old

Several of the Electrician people are
sun in Butte, but will leave for diff
ferent points in few days, most of
them having secured new engage
ments.
The offering at the Grand opera
house the three last nights of this
week, beginning Thursday, will be that
clever farce comedy, "At Gay Coney
Island" This play is always clean
and polite while being excruciatingly
funny. Those who have already seen
dress. 1t has been almost entirely
rewritten by the author, and instead
of two comedians carrying almost all
the burden of the fun making, the fun
has been SO increased that every
member of the large company has his
or her share. In other words, it is no
longer single or double star COM
edy. This results, as it must, in a
much more even performance than has
heretofore been given of it. Built for
the sole purpose Of creating laughter,
it has always served it's purpose well,
but it would seem from reports so far
received of the company, it has, as an
entirety, very much the best lot Of
fun makers, singers, dancers and spe-
cialists ever seen in 1t.
Besides this introduction Of an en-
tirely new lot of laughter inspiration,
special attention has been paid to the
music. The operate finale to the first
act, done by % trained voices, is one
of the features Of the performance.

HAD SOME PRIDE HIMSELF.
w hich Explains Laughnble Occur
renee on Il Chicago Street
Car.

few evenings ago a pretty girl got
Oh an Indiana avenue car at Twenty
fourth street. In one corner of the car
sat a bibulous Irishman, in the senti-
mental stage of intoXication. He was
singing softly TO himself There's Only
One Girl in the World for Me-" and
lurching back and forth without regard
10 the comfort of the passengers near
him. The man who sat next TO the
sentimental Irishman got up and Of
fered his seat 10 the pretty girl. She
hesitated and then said: NO, thank
you; I'm only going few blocks"
The intoxicated individual stopped
as short in his song as if he had run
against rope. He braced up stiffly
and his face took on a look of disap-
pointment and injured innocence as
he broke out with:
She won't-hic-she won't set down
to TIL side o me. She-hiv-she won't
set down 10 til side O me cause I'm an
Irishman. Thash it; sure of it. Irish

And then, says the Inter Ocean. he ac-
cepted the help of TIE conductor in
striking balance and was set off the
car gently at the next corner.

MICROBES IN MILK.
Children Prone to Contract Con.
sumption Through Tuber-
Gle BRciIIi.

1t will be readily granted that the in
spection of milk and its sources of sup
ply is of even more Importance from
a public health point of view than the
inspection of meat, since milk is so
largely used IN the food of infants,
says Chambers journal.
Milk. Immediately it is taken from
the healthy COW, contains no microbes.
Hardly has the milk settled in the pail
in one-quarter cubic inch having been
detected. The question which naturally
presents itself is: where do they come
from?'' From the soiled teats, from
the soiled hands of the workers, from
the atmosphere of the milking shed,
and from the pals themselves. They
possess the property of propagating
very rapidly.
NJ. de Freudeurich. of the Berne lab
oratory, asserts that milk just drawn
containing IN one-quarter cubic inch
5000 microbes, seven hours later was
round to contain 10000. After Pc
Rod of 25 hours had elapsed 100000
microbes were present in the same
quantity of milk. and if the tempera-
ture be raised to 95 degrees Fahrenheit
the microbe population of the same
milk, during the same time. would reach
the enormous total of S12, 900.
Children appear particularly prone
to contract consumption through the
agency of milk containing tubercle ba-
cilh.

PROFITABLE ENTERPRISE.
Flat Failure of Pessimfstic PredIc-
tions Regarding the Suez
Canal

1t was shown that from an engineer
ing point of view the Suez canal was
impossible. while from a commercial
point of view it was proved up to the
hilt that. even if the canal could be
made. it would, so far as traffic went,
be failure as melancholy to the phi
lanthropist as it would be disastrous
to the investor, says the Engineering
Magazine.
The great authorities who spoke with
so much assurance are all dead, and it
is well For their comfort that they
are
In 1869 traffic between the west and
the east via the Cape of Good Hope was
about $500. .0G0 tons. In 1897 the traf-
fic through the Suez canal was 1885,
9S1 tons. while that round the Cape
of Good hope was at least 3, $50 600 tons.
In other words. one direct result of
the construction of the SueZ canal has
been that in % years the commerce of
the world has been increased S,C00,000
tons annually.
1t is hardly necessary TO add that the
return - the investor who risked his
money in what seemed 10 so many to
