In common with nearly all the larger
cities Of the country, Butte is suffering
just now from an outbreak of modified
smallpox. The health officers have been
prompt in taking measures to check it's
spread, and with the strict enforcement
of the measures adopted, serious conse-
Guences will doubtless be avoided.
There is another disease, much more
to be dreaded than this modified small
pox, that just now seems to be in way
epidemic throughout the country. In its
spread. it has not overlooked Butte. SO
far as is known this matter has not been
given any special attention by the
health authorities, but the deaths re-
ported from typhoid almost daily clearly
indicate that it is matter of sufficient
importance to demand some attention
from the board of health.

THE SLIPRAILs AND THE SPUR.

The colors of the setting sun
Withdrew across the western land
he raised the sliprails, one by one,
And shot them home with trembling
hand:
Her brown hands clung-her face grew
pale
All! quivering chin and eyes that
brim!-
One quick. fierce kiss across the rail,
And. Goodbye, Mary" Goodbye,
JIM
Oh. he rides hard to race the pain
Who rides from love, who rides from
home:
But he rides slowly home again,
Whose heart has learned to love and
roam.
A hand upon the horses name,
And one foot in the stirrup set,
And. STOPPING back ito kiss again,
With Goodbye, Mary! Don't you
fret!
When come back''-he laughed at her
We do not know how soon twill be;
I'll whistle as l round the spur
She gasped for sudden loss of hope,
AS. with backward wave to her,
he cantered down the grassy slope
And swiftly round the dark ming spur,
Black-penciled panels standing high,
And darkness fading into stars,
And burring fast against the sky,
A faint white form beside the bars,
And often at the set of sun,
In winter bleak and summer brown,
She'd steal across the little rum
And slyly let the Siprails down.
And listen there when darkness shut
The nearer spur in silence deep:
And when they called her from the hut
Steal home and cry herself to sleep.

The Kansas judge who has just inn
posed fine upon a baker of Ottawa, for
making his bread two ounces larger
than prescribed by the city ordinance,
on the ground that in the eye of the law,
overweight is just as culpable as un-
derweight, deserves place in history
alongside the Connecticut judge who.
last month, decided that frog was
fish and fined a man for violating the
ordinance against catching fish.

PROBLEMS BEFORE KITCHENER.


General Kitchener. who is now in su-
preme command in South Africa, has
some difficult problems to solve. That he
is fully equal to the task imposed upon
him is not for a moment doubted in Eng
land. When Johannesburg was suTen-
dered and Pretoria abandoned, it was
supposed that the Beers would accept
their fate without further fighting and
make the best of the situation. Instead,
they established headquarters in the sad
die and several small forces under diff
ferent leaders opened harassng guer-
lila warfare. One by one the commands
We're broken by the British, until De Wet
is practically the only one left although
he has several lieutenants with still
smaller forces in the field.
British South Africa is Of vast area.
Including Cape Colony, the Vaal and Or
ange river colonies and Natal, it is 49,
341 square miles. or more than nine
times greater lHdu LuZOn WITH It's area
of 4O,O24 square miles. The problem be-
fore General Kitchener may, therefore,
we'll be called one of magnificent dis
tances, and with this vast stretch OF
country to operate in, relieved of the ne.
cessity of defending any point, De Wei
will doubtless be able to cause a good
deal of trouble before he is finally round
ed u2.
Gen. Kitchener will be compelled t.
fully organize mounted police force o1
10000 men, to he commanded by GEL
Baden Powell, and will, convert all o
his forces, practically, into light caval
ry in order to obtain the necessary mo

WARDS Or THE NATION.

The report of the secretary of the in
terror sent out from Washington today.
has much Interesting and important data
concerning the Indians. 1t appears that
the aborigines are in no immediate dam
ger of determination. There is in fact
a considerable increase since the last
census and the Indians are about as
numerous now as they We're i'll the days
of Raleigh, as the total now stands at
26s coo. The problem of what TO do with
them has not been solved but there has
been steady advance to remove them
from the agricultural reservations.
where there is not sufficient game to sup
port them. The government is able to
keep them on such tracts, because the
Indians have something like s33 900 900 on
deposit with the United States TO their
credit and the blankets and rations could
be furnished without incurring any em-
barrassing responsibility. but the ten
6ency would be toward pauperization.
The amount expended for the Indians
during the year was s1o,115,lo6. and the
me st cheering feature of the whole report
is that of this big total. fully one-third
was expended for industrial education
such training as will enable the Indian
to make his own way in the world with
out asking ODDS of anybody. After re-
viewing all the data presented, it is diff
ficu!t to escape the pleasing conclusion
that substantial progress IS a last being
made in the effort to cvilize the Indians.
What is known as the outing system
is extensively followed at some of the
schools, notably Carlisle. This is simply
carrying out a large scale
the. plans of the early settlers at
Plymouth and Virginia, who proposed,
for practical purposes, to bring up the
children of natives in their own homes.
The ration system is discouraged as
far as possible, as it tends to pauper-
ization, and there are only 45,27o Indi-
ans receiving the regular rations twice
month. The figures under this head
relating to Montana, show the number
of Indians requiring ratons and the
cost per capita per annum as follows:
Backfeet agency, 1850 drawing ra-
tiohs, costing $33 per capita; Grow
agency, 1850 drawing rations, costing
$50 per capita; Fort Belmont agency.
1927 drawing rations $42 per capita;
Fort Peck agency. 1854 drawing rations,
SO per capita; Tongue River agency,
1854 drawing rations costing $41 per
capita.
The total enrolment at the various
Indian schools for the year 26,451
an increase of 1249, and in these good
progress has been made by the students.

In miX-up which followed honors were about even, but Mccoy was cautioned by the referee for hold ing.

 At this stage of the game Maher's friends became very confident that the Irishman would get the better of the Hoosier lad but Mccoy had a great deal more left in him than these people bargained for He waited for the big fellow, who had the better of the pre- vious round, and tapped him with left lightly in the face all the time shifting to the left side then both landed lefts to the head.

It was terrific blow and landing right on the mark an OK could scarcely have withstood it's force, It was the cleanest knockout ever seen in a ring fight and while some people were unkind enough to say that Maher could have got up again, those who were nearest to the fighters and saw the force of the blow were of the opinion that Sullivan in his palmiest days could not have withstood it.
 Probably in the history of ring fights in this vicinity there has never been such quick change in the betting as that which occurred during the two
