MR.. CROUCH'S DISCOURSE
Interesting Lecture Before Mem.
bers of the Law Glass.
WAS CAREFULLY PREPARED
Address Was an Exhaustive and Able
Effort, and Evidenced Careful
Research - The First
OF Series.

Missoula, April 3.-The lecture de-
livered Saturday night before the
members of the local law class
at the office of Hon. l. G..
Denny by Hon. Marcus L. Crouch
was an interesting discourse and was
listened to with careful attention by the
members of the class and a large num-
Der of invited guests. Among those
present We're Judge Hiram Knowles of
the federal court, Judge F. H. Woody
of the Fourth district court, President
o. j. Craig of the state university, Pro-
fessor W. J. Aber of the university fac
ulty, Justices Hayes, Houtchens and
Landers of the local courts, j. M. Keith,
J. II. r. Ryman and others. In pre-
senting the speaker Mr.. Denny spoke
briefly regarding the advisabiity of es-
tablishing a law department at the state
university and expressed the belief that
in the very near future the demand for
such a department would be so strong
that the state educational authorities
would not be able to disregard it. Then
the needed department would be Gre
ated and would become an important
feature of the work of the university.
Mr.. Crouch's address was able and
exhaustive and evidenced careful prepa-
ration. The manner in which it was de-
livered shows that it was the result Of
long and careful research. Mr.. Crouch
started with the foundation of the COM
mon law and followed it through to the
adoption of a written nstitution by
the United States. He showed how the
supreme court of the United States de-
rives its authority to pass upon the con-
stitutionality of the acts of congress
and exploded the fallacious theory that
this court lacks this authority. Mr..
Crouch maintained that the right was
vested in this court to protect and
guard the constitution. claiming that
otherwise the whole fabric of the or
ganic law would be utterly subverted
and conflicts Of law would be made by
every session of congress.
This lecture was the first of a series
that will be delivered before the law
class by local attorneys and the course
| promises to attract much attention.

DISEASE BREEDERS.
Condition of the Alleys Demands I'M
mediate Attention.

Dbl
Missoula. April S.-The condition of
the alleys all over town demands i'm
mediate attention. In the central por-
ton of the city their condition is ter
rible. There are heaps of disease
breeding filth that should be removed
at once. This is true of nearly all of
the alleys in the central part of the
city. The board of health should take
a. hand in the matter Immediately. 1t
is all right for the doctors, perhaps, as
the presence of this filth will make their
business good but it is a condition that
should not be allowed to continue.
There is a rear yard not 100 feet from
Higgins avenue, in the busiest part of
the city, that has evidently received
the refuse from a large apartment
block all winter without once having
been cleared. Even the chilly spring
sunshine of last week was sufficient to
send up from this garbage heap an as
sortment of odors that would make re-
frigerated beef ashamed of itself. There
is no excuse for this state of affairs.
If the occupants of the premises will
not see to it that the yard is cleaned,
the board of health should make it
compulsory, and lose no time about it.
In many portions of the North Side the
situation is one that threatens the
health of the community. In other por-
tons of the city it is as bad. The regu-
lations are plain in this matter, and
should be enforced strictly.

A spon,nnsons Trihn,s.

From the st. Adams Messenger of Thursday |
The one predominating feature of the
ovation given Admiral Dewey at Mont
pelier today was that it was an absolutely
spontaneous testimonial from the freemen
of Vermont, irrespective of political affilia-
,tions, of their appreciation of his noble
character and glorious achievements. 1t
was tribute to popular ideal of Ameri-
can manhood. There was not the faintest
tinge of politics in it. 1t was not even the
labored result of legislative enactment, but
it sprang from the hearts of the people,
found expression through the most natural
channels within their command, and even
depended for its financial support upon the
pledged credit of several hundred citizens
of all shades of political opinion.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1899-10-20

Visitors in Vermont this week may won
der where the population is. Abandoned
cities and towns every where meet theeye
as well as abandoned farms. The mystery
is explained by the fact that Dewey has
come home and Vermont has gone TO see
the New York parade. Two or three
grandstands will hold the whole state
Springfield Republican.
The yowl and yawp of the Massachu-
sets mugwumps even permeates the edito-
rial room of big daily newspaper and de-
sends to the level of slurring the state of
Dewey's birth. The Bay state Aguinaldos
and Atkinsons are jealous of the greatest
living American and the pups snap at his
heels by trying to belittle old Vermont.
Snarls i'll become any one and the above
comes with very bad grace from the Spring
field sheet Fair Haven Era.

81 knol0 the manager of the Gold Queen"
had the 90 days option which you gave
him made out to himself personally and
not as representing the syndicate?"
Eyes" replied Oswald, 81 noticed
it. He would not take the responsible
ty of spending the syndicate's money in
making investigations which the mem
bers had not ordered. If he approves the
property, he will recommend it to his
syndicate.
A soft, sweet, childlike smile crept
over the tsces of the precious three as
they separated.
A fortnight later Mr.. Gilbey present
ed to his delighted associates the fol-
lowing dispatch from Gaskell, dated
San Francisoo:
Iapprove of the mine, optioned subject TO
some amendment in price, and start east to-
night. DOUGLAS GAsKELL.
When Mr.. Gaskell returned to New
York, he said he had made very care
full examination of the mine and would
be willing to accept an option for it if
the price were fixed at $3.50, 900 instead
of double that sum. This radical cur
tailment of their figures somewhat
dampened the ardor of the three confed-
crates, but finally the price was fixed at
1925, 900 cash, with many protests on
the part of Messrs. Marble and Gilbey.
Mr.. Oswald had throughout taken only
! such interest in the matter as a friend
might manifest. His name did not occur
on any of the papers given Mr.. Gaskell,
and ON this occasion, as on the others,
he took little part in the arrangements.
In due time the purchase money was
paid over, and Messrs. Marble and Gill
hey, each with 800, 900 to his credit,
decided that they would seize the OPP
portunity to satisfy long felt ambition
to explore southern America, not in the
least-they were careful to assure the
cynical Oswald-beoause they were fear
full as to what view the cold judicial
eye of the law might take of their &C
tion.
Mr. Oswald, who, as stated, had pur-
posely kept in the background and in
consequence oontented himself with a
smaller share of the profits, remained
In New York.
Six months later Messrs. Gilbey and
Marble were in the City of Mexico,
wearied beyond the power of words
with the Wanted charms of that coun'
try, and anxious only once more to be
within sight of New York. Many q

an uItimatum from the insurgent com
mander, Gen. Cipriano Castro, returned to
Caracas, Venezuela, Wednesday from Va

expected to give an answer in the course of

otherwise than accept the conditions i'm

abandoned by all his supporters. Not
withstanding this, he still maintains that it
may be possible to transfer the seat of gov
eminent to Maracaibo and to continue the
fight. The situation is extremely critical.

became quite a valuable property, and
a dispute having arisen as to the owner.
ship of one-half of it the property was
finally divided between the two litigants
by decision of the court of appeals.
Both properties retained the title of
Gold Queen, and openings had been
made in both, about 700 yards apart.
The workings in one had proved enor-
mously successful, and that mine could
not be purchased The other had result
ed in failure, and very little, if any, la
Dor was now being expended on it.
MI. Gilbey's suggestion was that the
Gold Queen mine, which had proved a
failure, should be optioned to the Eng
lish syndicate, and that while its sur
vey should be correctly given on the OPP
ton steps should be taken to get Mr..
Gaskell to examine the gold mine un-
der the belief that he was inspecting
the one optioned to his syndicate. cal
though you can't deceive him as to the
existence of paying ore in mine, " con-
tinued Gilbey, "yOu can readily confuse
him as to the identity of the property
he is examining more especially if he
is simply a mineralogist and not a sur
veyor az well.
81 know the manager of the Gold
Queen now in operation-No. /, let us
call it-and 1 can guarantee that he
will see this business through if we di.
vide with him. No. is known to be
we'll worth a large sum of money, and
it won't do for us TO offer the other
property at less than half a million.
The owner of the latter is willing to
give me four months option on it at
SIS, 000."
Their plans being matured, the illus
trious pair were presently introduced to
Mr.. Gaskell as the owners of the mine
which had been withdrawn. They had
exerted themselves to find him a prop
erty of equal promise, and had at last
after much trouble succeeded in obtain
ing for him an option on the Gold
Queen.
Mr.. Gaskell had notified Madge's
uncle of his first disappointment by ca
BILE, and two hours after meeting Gill
bey's partners he walked across Madi-
son square and sent another cablegram
intimating that he had heard of an
other property and was about to go
west to examine it at his own expense.
Two days later Mr.. Gaskell left for
San Francisco, where on his arrival he
met the manager Of the Gold Queen,
No. /, who had received a telegram
from Mr.. Gilbey to go to San Francisco
to receive an important letter, which
letter he had carefully read and very
cordially approved.
The days which followed had many
anxious moments for the three specula.
tors in New York. ~ do most devoutly
hope this business won't land us in
state prison. murmured the less cour.
ageous Marble.
"What nonsensel We have not made
any discriminating statement in writ
ing"
True, but you forget your letter tC
the manager of the mine. Won't thai
show conspiracy"
"That is all right" was Gilbey''
airy rejoinder. 1.-THE manager is undel
my thumb.
"By the way" continued the Tranquil
Gilbey, "did you notice that Gaskel
