Falling Prices.

1t is not generally believed that
this country Is approaching Il
period of business depression Just
because there has been IA fall in
the prices of iron, steel, lum-
Der and some other commodities.
The manufacturers of these pro-
ducts have realized for some time
that they We're getting eXorbitant
prices, and that production would
overtake consumption sooner or
later. Consumers cannot continue
To pay boom prices, therefore pro-
duccrs have been gradually lower
ing their prices with the hope of
finding a place where consumption
would keep pace again with pro-
duction. All along the line the
feeling seems 10 prevail that after
a little time prices will settle on a
normal basis. and that then Il
long period of prosperity will fol.
low.
As a rule business is dull during
the year of presidential election.
1t may be that the contest this year
Is already having a bad effect ON
business. 1t l. not believed, how
ever. that the fall that has taken
place in prices within the last two
months has been brought about hv
the approaching presidential con-
test. 1t j. probable that the Re
publicans would like To have the
country believe that the reviving
of the silver issue l. responsible for
the falling of in the volume of
business, and the fall in prices. but
the people know that such Is not
the fact. The change that has
taken place in the business situa-
ton has not been brought about by
politics. but by natural causes.
Just As soon aS consumers are fully
satisfied that prices are as low a.
they are likely to 20, their demand
for supplies will he increased again.

made in the Daisy mine during the
past two wenks The ore WAS on
countercd at u depth of 500 or 800
feet in driving IA tunnel to tap u free

new lind consists of a twelve foot
body OF gray copper and galena ore,
the presence of which in the Daisy
ground has heretofore been unknown.
Up to tho timc Of Mr. Burll's depar-

been driving in solid ere for eight or
ten Icct. The appearance ot the ore
indicates remarkably rich silver and

NEW HEAL TIL ORDINANCE
City Council Takes Steps to Make Vaccin.
alton Of All School Children
Compulsory,

The small pox epidemic shows no
signs OF abatement in Butte. Ii has
spread 10 Anaconda, Helena, Billings
and otlrr cities. 4 case was dlscov-
cred at the Northern Pacific section
house in Columbus a few days ago
and il is reported that a ease has also
made its appearance IN Bri,lger. Hell
ena is NOW considering the advisablity
OF establishing a quarantine against
Butte, and all the cities Of the static
have been thoroughly aro,,sed to the
danger OF procrastination in the mat
ter oil adopting strict regulations MAX
ING vaccination compulsory among
the school children.
The general prevalence OF the dis
ease elsewhere has fully aroused the
city authorities of He'd Lodge to the
necessity of adopting precautionary
measures against Tie introduction Of
the contaglon aud ol taking steps to
prevent it's spread in case it should
make its appearance here. 1t was
for this purpose that a special meet
ing of the city council was held last
night, whom, III the suggestion Of
Mayor Larkin, heartily concumred in
by all the aldermen, health ordi-
nance was presented and passed. This
ordinances, published elsewhere in this
ISSUE of The Picket, is NOW in fun
force and effect. Undcrits provisions
the council last night appointed &
city board Of health, composed of DR..
III. T, Lutz und Aldermen lNlaHer,
Austin and Lyon. The board con
slders the situation serious enough To
enforce the compulsory vaccination
clause of the ordinance and will see
TO it that no child Hereafter attends
either the public ur amy private
school in the city without being vac
cinated.
Though no cases Of smallpox have
made their appearance in the city,
the newly appointed board OF health
will take time by the forelock and
provide a pest house in case Of emer-
gency. 1t is probable that the vacant
building below the water tank will be
secured for pest house purposes.
There seems to be a general dis
position on the part Of the people Of
the city to be vaccinatcd, and during
the past week the physicians have
been kept pretty busy injecting
vaccine virus into the arms of men,
women and children.

to Answer to the District Court.

Andrew Anderson, the Finland coal
miner who murderously ran amuck
with a knife in this city Christmas
night, was gwen preliminary hear
ing before IJustice Hawthorne last
Saturday vening and bound over to
the district court on a charge Of as
sault in the second degree. The evi-
dence showed that the accused went
on the warpath early Christmas night
and kept up his crazy antics until the
next morning. Loaded with booze
and armed with a six shooter, he first
raised a disturbance in VIM. Knatz's s
saloon and in the meelee got black
eye and was relieved of his gun by
Thomas Scally. Then he. and his
partner, Oscar Patana, started for
Moro Castle. This was about $3.50
o'clock in the morning. On the way
up, Anderson went to the home of
Martin Golden and tore around to
such an extent that Mr.. Golden was
compelled to resort to heroic meas
ures. After being carressed with
bootjack, the wild and wooIly Fin
lander went up to the terminus Of the
railroad track and then concluded to
return to town without going to the
bad lands. On their way back they met
Fred Dalton and w. j. Deegan, when
Anderson whipped out his jack-knife
and, without saying word, plunged
it into Mr.. Dalton's back, breaking
the blade, which stuck in that gentle

assault upon George Woodstock,
slashing his coat in two places with

into the abyss Of despair and made
the night hideous with their agoniz-

sweat and Hecked with foam, he fell

had 4 mighty close shave and in sev-

brling his antlers i'll the life blood Of
a fawn. However, all the candidates
escaped with their lives and at 2
O'clock in the morning the entire band
repaired 70 the Spof1ord hotel and sat
down to splendid feast, after which
