GOLF KNEE.
A New Anmsnt with which Our Doctors
Are wrestling.

fare
At recent meeting of certain
medical club one of the members read
a paper on the subject of the Golf
Knee" Among other things he said:
In all seriousness, golf knee is
pretty common thing to see among
golfers. 1t resembles a bad case of
knock knee, and it is caused by the
position assumed in driving. We all
know how the tyro is taught to stand
for driver. with the knees close to-
gether and one foot stuck upright into
the earth by the toe. That is dread
full knock-kneed pose. but It's very
golf-like, and artists always draw the
golf player in it; SO the fellow likes
1t, and from the force of habit assumes
1t not only on the links, In driving,
but at home, at the club, in the office,
before the bar, while tossing off a
lemonade, and in many other unlikely
places. People say of him that he is
knock-kneed. He isn't though, really.
for the bones of his leg are still
straight He has 'golf-knee,' which. If
he is under 80, with bones still soft
and malleable. would change to knock
knee but for medical interference.
That consists of exercises that tend
to cause bow leg and in quasi-hyp-
motto suggestion OF the ungainliness OF
the golfers driving pose and the abb
surdity of assuming 1t on every occa-
sion. With children and youths, whose
bones are soft, year or two of strong
ly marked golf knee ends just as sure
ly in knock knee as constant horse
backing with the very young ends in
bow leg | have on my list of pa
tients now four children of fashionable
parents in, the last stages of golf
knee, who are threatened with the
permanent deformity of knock knee
itself But hope to cure them.-Cin-

TWIN BRIDGES SMELIER..,

Sheridan Chinook: The smelter at Twinf
Bridges will shut down in a few days,
and will not be started up for sometime.
Mr.. Owsley stated hat they would. in all
probability continue to buy all the de-
slrabie ores obtainable but until different
arrangements were made would not buy
ore running high in silica. The shut
down is to allow the placing of a. new
electric plant as the power now in use
is insufficient to run the furnace and
the sampling mill at the same time. The
company will also add a refning3plant
and rooster, and intend to make the
smelter one of the best equipped plants
in the state and to use Mr.. Owsley's
words. w are going to do business
right or go broke" The furnace hassbeen
running very smoothly under the able
management of Mr.. Teal. and several
shipments of bullion have peer made.
and there are several stacks of bright
bars now at the smelter ready for ship
mant.
The company ave been handling some
very high grade ores and the bullion is,
IN consequence. very high grade. There
is no lack of dry ores, in fact, they are
over stocked with that character of
quartz, and lead being the scarce article
much better rates a be had in the way
OF smelling rates on the lead ore than is
given on the dry silicious ores.

SK0BLITZ DID NOT
PAY FOR HIS WIFE,

After Judge Lindsay had finished his
motion docket yesterday afternoon he
called for trial the civil suit brought by
Mrs. Mary Persina against Antoine Sko-
blitz, her brother-in-law, to recover
Judgment for s126 which the plaintiff al
legged was due her from the defendant for
money loaned and furniture transferred.
The trial bristled with interesting fea-
lures and resulted in a verdict for the de-
PENDANT.
The testimony showed that a girl, a
marriage, a trip across the broad Attain
tic and a few other things figured in the
transaction that led up to the suit. On
the witness stand Mrs. Persina stated
that she had advanced SIP with which to
bring her sister, Ablita. from Australia to
Butte because Skoblitz wanted to marry
her; had put up $12 worth of furniture for
them after the marriage had occurred
and 81 for fuel with which to keep their
residence warm. She further said Sko-
blitz had never seen Ablita prior to the
latter's arrival. but he was anxious to
take unto himself a wife and when he
heard of Ablita he proposed that she be
transferred from Austria to Butte at the
expense of the witness, Mrs. Persina, and
he would reimburse her for the amount
CApGANCos MIS- L III u GlcI Sdlu lila
in July of 1898 she had advanced the
money and in August the girl arrived. On
October 20 Skoblitz had married her. At
ter the passing of that period known as
the honeymoon Skoblitz. she said, had
told her he had enough of her sister and
she could take her back. adding tina he
would kill the plaintiff before he would
pay for bringing, Ablita to this country.
Skoblitz denied he had borrowed mon
ey from Mrs. Persina. He said that
prior to his marriage Mrs. Persina had
called him into her house and asked him
to put UP 800 with which to bring Ablita
to this country. but he refused. He fur
Their said he had known nothing about
Ablita before she came to Butte. Mrs.
Persina's husband had called upon him
and asked him to repay the passage mon
ey, but he refused INT told him he would
not buy a wife. In explaining the furni-
ture part of the transaction he said Mrs.
Persina had offered to make him a pres
ent of h goods provided he would marry
her sister.
Mrs. Skoblitz c~ontradicted the state
ment made by her sister. Mrs. Persina.
She said h had received letters from
Mrs. Persina while in Austria and in them
Mrs. Persina had offered her $25 Der
month If she would come here and work
for her. but nothing was said about Sko-
blitz.
A verdict was reached about 8 o'clock.

The most important news from the
war in South Africa, on the 10Th. was
to the effect that Gen. French had
headed off Gen. Cronje's %retreating
e1my, and was only awaiting rein
fcrcements to attack; H~langwane hill,
commanding the flank of the Boer de-
lenses at Colenso, had been occupied;
Lord Methuen had reached Kimberley,
and Gen. Butler had won an important
victory and was again moving to the
relie1 of Ladysmith.
Representative Lacey, of Iowa, Ills
introduced a bill to amend the civil
service act. 1t provides that govern
ment employees shall serve for five
years, with opportunities for reap
poiptment for another five years.
These now in the service shall serve
IL a term of five years, and those who
served beyond hat time shall be
divided into classes whose terms shall
gradually expire.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 21.-The
supreme court, in banc, in an opinion
by Judge Robinson, declared the de-
partment store law passed by the last
legislature to be unconstitutional and
void, for the reason that law is clearly
class legislation, and because the act
is incomplete and not a law, and
and for the further reason that the act
imposes an occupation tax as a license
to Dc business.
The law applied to only St. Joseph,
Kansas City and St. Louis, and to
stores in those cities employing clerks.
This feature is objected to in the opin-
ion as class legislation. The case de-
cided was that of State ex rel Wyatt
against Ashbrook and other officers of
the city of st. Joseph, for a writ OF
~n.andamus to compel them to issue a
license to conduct a department. store
in that city without paying the license
tax requiredby the law. The court, in
the opinion, orders the writ awarded.
This decision releases John w. Thay-
er, president of Emery, Bird, Thayer
& Co., of Kansas City, from paying a
fine of 500 imposed OH conviction Of
violating the law, a case now before
the supreme court.
The supreme court overruled the
motion to transfer to the court On
banc the case of the train robber, Joha
+. Kennedy. This is the last attempt
fer him, and he must serve his 17-year
sentence in the pen~itentiary.
