Giving Him His Medicine.

1t is remembered of a Presbyterian d.
vine prominent a generation ago that he
was never at a loss for wit. At that time
a certain question-we will call II that of
the deceased wife's sister-waS being peri
odically agitated at synods, and regularly
settled according 10 ancient precedent. AT
a certain meeting a young newly ordained
minister, proud OF his D. d. and inexperi-
enced in the ways OF the church, called for
recognition and fearlessly introduced the
much-debated matter.
He had no more than finished when the
prominent divine arose and delivered him
self as follows:
Mr.. Moderator, smell a young doctor
The young d. d. nearly cried for NORTH
cation and never touched on the question
again.

JEAL QUSy HIS MOTIVE
Real Cause of Eugene LANES
Frightful Crime.
ANOTHER MAN IN The CASE
The Murderer Evidently Under the I'm
preston That His Mistress Intended
to CAST Him Aside-Woman's
Condition Improving.

1t is now generally believed that Eu-
gene Laine had another and stronger rea-
son for his terrible act of attempted muir
der and of self-destructon Wednesday
than the one given out by his mistress
Josephine Blancheau, to the effect that he
wanted money and shot her and himself
because he did not get it. From inquiry
made since the tragedy, the police think
Lame was prompted more by Jealousy
than from anger because his demand for
money was refused. 1t developed that
Lame brought the woman to Butte with
him and betrayed her expenses; that not
long after their arrival another man came
between them and it is known they quar-
relied over this fact
Since the tragedy a member OF the local
colony of French secretaries has been IN
constant attendance upon the woman ana
the police believe it was he who was the
real cause of the trouble, This man is
known as Fred Savage From facts the
police have gathered they are convinceS
that the woman had made up her mind
to throw Lame over for Savage, and be-
lieve that in fit of jealousy Laine con-
Guided to put an end to her life and his
own. The police also have the opinion
lnat Lame Ndd a sun luTtUei uSS4Sb,
that If Laine had found Savage the trag-
edy would have gone further than it did.
AS their reasons for this belief they state
that they have learned that after Laine
fired the shot at the woman he went out
of the house and went into a saloon close
by, where they think he expected to find
Savage, but, not finding him and suppos-
ing he had killed the woman, went back
and killed himself. Whether this theory
of the police is based on facts will posi-
bly, never be known, as the woman still
adheres to her original story that Lame
shot her because she refused to give him
money and insists there was no other
reason for the deed.
The woman was reported as much i'm
proved last evening and unless there are
unexpected developments she will in all
probability recover.
Coroner Julien held an inquest at Sher-
mans undertaking rooms last evening on
the body of Lame, at which the story of
the tragedy was told by the witnesses
without any material departure from the
account published in yesterdays Stand
ard An interesting part of the proceed
ngs was the examination of the man
Savage, who stated that he has been at
tending the woman since she was in
iured, but saidl it was not because there
were any relations between them other
than that of friendship. He denied that
there was any understanding between
himself and the woman that he was to
take the place of Laine, and said he was
waiting on her for the reasons only that
he spoke her language and there was no
one else to look after her. He stated
that the woman had. told him the finan-
| ciaI question was the only one on which
she and Laine disagreed. and that she had
said Lame came to her place and demand

ROCKER IS QUARAN TINED
DR.. Sheeran Finds Half a Doze n
Cases of Varioloid There.
SITUATION Is ALARMING
Disease Is Spreading With Dangerous
Rapidly Two Additional Patients
Sent to the Pest House-Strictest
Quarantine Will Be Maintained.

The smallpox scare is becoming more
than scare. 1t is approaching an alarm
ing situation and the authorities are be-
ginning to fear general contagion. Two
more malignant cases were sent to the
pesthouse yesterday and regular nest
of varioloid was discovered at Rocker by
County Physician Sheeran.
Night before last DR.. Sheeran was in
formed by a Standard reporter that re-
ports had come in of several cases at
Rocker. and yesterday morning he drove
out to investigate, He found what IS
known as true varioloid in four different
Families and that the whole of Rocker had
been exposed as well a great many
peonle in Butte. On arriving at Rocker
Ior Sheeran was informed that the family
of Daniel O'Bren was afflicted with a
SUSPICIOUS disease. He went there ana
found that a 5-year-old girl had been
taken i'll five weeks ago last Sunday; that
81 physician had been called who attend
ed the case few days, and thereafter
1he family had no physician This child
undoubtedly had varioloid. A few days
ago a 17-months-o old child was taken sick
and this case DIR. Sheeran diagnosed as
varioloid.
From the O'Brien home Dr. Sheeran
went to the house Of ]. J. Bellevou. where
he found Mrs. Bellevou and two children
were just recovering from the disease and
were covered with scabs. The doctor
then went to the schools and found boy
named Charles Jones. who had broken
out. and the o. Brien girl who had recoV-
cred was attending school He also learn
ed from the teacher that a girl named
Nellie Griffin had that morning gone home
sick and upon going to the Griffin home
found the girl all broken out.
Dr. Sheeran at once ordered the school
closed, and when he returned to the city
informed the county commissioners OF
what he had found, and the town of
Rocker was ordered quarantned. Two
quarantine officers were sent out to
Rocker by the commissioners last evening
TO enforce quarantine regulations. The
sick there will be allowed to remain at
their homes and be treated by a physician,
but a strict quarantine will be enforced.
DIR. Sheeran called on the physician who
had attended the O'Brien child who was
first taken to ascertain why he had not
reported the case, and was Informed
that when he saw the child there was
nothing unusual upon which to base a
diagnosis of smallpox or varioloid as the
eruption had not yet made its appearance,
and it appears that since that time none

COST OF SUBSISTENCE.
Expense of Feeding the Army Was $ss,-
O54,646

O54,646.
Washington, Nov. 2.-The subsis-
'tence of the army during the past
year. according to the annual report
of Acting Commissary General, Wes-
ton, cost s27, 054. 646. These expendi-
lures, it should be stated, however, in
addition to those for the army proper,
include computation of rations to pris-
oners of war. relief of destitute Gu
bans, relief of sufferers from the over
flow of the Mississippi river and Red
river; relief of people in the mining
region of Alaska: issues to Indians
etc. The value of stores lost by acci-
dent, transportation, etc, during the
year for which no one was held re-
sponsble, was S1S9,441.
Supplies lost for which responsible
ity was fixed was about s1,S16, nearly
all of which has been collected. There
was a large increase over previous
years in stores condemned due to IN
cidents and accidents of service during
the Spanish war. The casualties in the
subsistence department. General Wes-
ton says, attest the ineff1ciency of the
department at the critical points.
where the services of it's officers are
at their maximum value Allusion is
made to the failure of the army reor-
ganization act Of March 3, 1899, to pro-
vide for an increase Of the subsistence
department commensurate with the
general increase in The army.
