DEATH OF JUSTICE FIELD.

A great career came to a termination
when Oh Sunday evening Stephen j.
Field, late a justice of the supreme
court, passed away. His occupancy of
the supreme court bench exceeded that
of Chief Justice Marshall by a few
months, and lasted over thirty-four
years. He was born in Haddam, Conn.,,
November 4. 1916. and was one of four
brothers who became famous, David
Dudley, Cyrus W. and Henry M. Field
being all men with worldwide reputa-
lions.
He was a "forty- miner of California
and was continuously on the bench of
that state from 1857 until 1868, when
he was appointed to the supreme bench
by President Lincoln. His was a very
active career, aud he had decided 1,O42
cases on the bench. He retired in 1897,
and has since lived quietly at his home
in the capital.

CLAIMS NOT PAID.

Deficiency War; ants Drawn. but Mr.. Col
, Inns Will Counsel with Colonel Nolan.
State Auditor Poindexter has signed
aud delivered the warrants for the pay
ment of the deficiency claims of sheritfs
who did not receive their mileage fees
OH account of the lack Of funds in the
state treasury. Some Of the warrants
were promptly presented to State Treas
urer Collins, who declined to pay them
until he had fortified himself with all
opinion by the attorney general as to
the legality of such payment.
The question to be considered is
whether the state shall. in the face Of
another deficiency, pay the claims of
the sheriffs that arise out of a deficiency
in preceding years. The discovery has
been made that the state will not have
sufficient revenue to conduct it's bust
Dess during the coming year. Some
place the probable deficiency at $50, 600.

TIL MAVERICK.

The banquet of the Maverick Hose
company has come to be regarded as a
notable social event in Billings. The
company was organized in 1889 and
has neve 1~etrog1aded, and is today
stronger than ever, both in members
and efficiency and in the esteem of our
people. 1t is a splendid body of young
men, and their prowess in fighting fire,
their hospitality and the esprit de
corps, which is their especial feature,
making them a band of brothers, have
given them a statewide reputation.
Without any desire to make invidious
comparisons it may be asserted, proba.
bly, with the approval of every MAYER
lex, that very much of their success is
due to the remarkably strong PERSONAL
ity of their first and present chief,
Capt. j. G. Bond. That he has again
been elected chief is a guarantee of the
renewed energy and efficiency of the
fire department.

TOWN

The present is an opportune time for
our citizens to take up the subject of
town improvements. In many towns a
society is organized to consider matters
for the improvement of the streets and
lawns, and this society is subdivided
into street improvement societies.
which take up the improvement OF
different districts of the city. In this
way uniformity in the establishment
Of different portions Of the city is &C.
complished at a minimum Of expense.
Billings is a city that attracts atten-
ton by it's graded streets, we'll kept
sidewalks and abundant shade trees,
but much could be accomplished if
more property owners were to boulevard
in front OF their properties and plant
more ornamental trees and shrubs in
their lawns. If more care were exe1-
cised by the herde1s Of the town cows
it might be possible to remove front
fences or replace them only with a low
coping, but possibly that is a step too
far in advance for the present.
At all events the time has arrived for
a general cleanup Of the streets and
alleys, rendered necessary both for the
sanitary condition of the city and to
improve their appearance. The re-
moval of the unsightly accommodations
of last winter would be of great benefit
to the health of the citizens and to the
appearance of the city, and no time
should be lost in having it done.
But this paper believes that the most
effective way to secure the accomplish
ment of these matters would be by the
organization of Il city improvement So
ciety, with numerous local branches.

THE FATAL
State Veterinarian Knowle. Issues "a Cir
cular Telling About 1t.

State Veterinarian Knowles Issues a Cir
cular Telling About 1t.
State Veterinarian Knowles recently
issued a circular relative to blackleg,
that dreaded stock disease. He gives
the symptoms that accompany the
disease and the best remedy. The cir
cular in part is as follows:
"Blackleg, also known as black quar-
ter, quarter i'll and symptomatic an.
thrax, is an acute infectious disease
caused by a specific microbe or germ
called the blackleg bacillus. 1t is
manifested by great tissue alterations
in the affected parts, accompanied by a
d%istension of the tissues due to the
formation of gas.
1.-The symptoms Of blackleg are cas-
lily distinguished and very commonly
known. There is usually high fever,
suspension of Illumination (chewing of
the cud) and loss Of appetite, followed
by great depression. Respiration be-
accelerated; the animal moves
about with great difficulty, frequently
lies down. and, where water is accessi-
BILE. drinks at short intervals : small
quantities. The mucous membranes
inside the nose and eyes are at first con-
gested, but they change in the course Of
a few days t. a dirty leaden Or
purplish color.
"The most important symptom of the
disease is the manifestation of a tumor
or swelling, which may appear on any
part of the body or limbs, excepting be-
low the hook or knee joint. 1t is most
frequently observed on the shoulder or
thigh. although it may appear OIL the
rump, flank or chest. At first the
are small and painful, but they
increase rapidly in size and may in a
few hours a large portion Of the
body. One or more of these tumors
may form simultaneously, and when in
the same locality apparently run to-
gether and become continent. When
is exelted over the swelling a
cracking sound is distinguished, and
OH it produces a clear. resonant
sound, due to d collection of gas in the
affected tissues.
1.-The animals which die from black
leg should be Immediately burned or
buried with quicklime to a depth Of not
than six feet, and lime should be
scattered freely over the space where
the animal was lying before being
buried.
"Blackleg vaccine has been proven
III over fourteen years of use. to be al
absolute preventive of this disease.
Every cattleman, therefore, who has
his own welfare at heart should, upon
the first appearance of the disease in his
locality. Immediately proceed to vac
all cattle over two years Of age"

The disaster, which has cast a cloud
OF sorrow over Dawson county, the par
tlculars of which are given elsewhere
in this paper, is narrowing in it's de-
tails. The sympathy of our citizens
was expressed by the lowering of the
flag on the city hall to half-mast, and
the numerous expressions of horror and
sorrow expressed by individuals. This
paper conveys to the citizens of Dawson
the sincere sympathy of their neighbors
of Yellowstone in this dark hour of
their sorrow.
