Buffalo Intelligence.

New York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch:
a big bull buffalo had an injured leg,
and it was operated on with COCAINE
and antisepties, few days ago. 1t
was not an easy task for the yeterin-
cry surgeons, because a buffalo is a
powerful animal, and he does not like
any one to take liberties with him
Hut the operation was performed and
the buffalo evidently felt better after
l. Now the great creature goes will
ingly TO the side of his cage when the
surgeons approach. He knows them
and remembers that they relieved him,
and there is no sign of anything but
pleasure on his part when he sees
them.

DR.. Weldon, the new bishop of Cal
cutta, has accomplished linguistic
feat. Six months after his arrival he
took full confirmation service in the
Bengal dialect at Ranaghat, in the
diocese of Calcutta. There are many
in the episeopaey who take up the
study of the Indian tongues but
throw them up in despair. Bishop
Weldon, however. persevered, and got
on so well that, besides the service
named, ne has already given a sermon
in the Bengal vernacular, which is
the one mostly spoken in the Calcutta
diocese.

COUNTY WARRANT DECISION.
A Letter From the Attorney General SettIei
a MOoted Question.

County Treasurer {. A. Hastings re.

ney general which decides a question
about the status Of certain warrants. The
letter is selfexplanatory. The attorney
general says;
{. A. Hastings, Esq, Lewiston, Idaho:
Dear Sir-ln your letter of March rs you
ask me this question: as a warrant is
sued for services in February or March of
this year a 1900 warrant or a 1899 war.
rant?" In reply ! will say that under
the provisions of house bill No a2S, fifth
session laws, page 397, it is the duty of
the county auditor TO have prepared a
separate series of warrant blanks for each
year.
| 1t was provided further that the audi
tor should begin the use of a new series
of warrants on the second Monday i'll
April i'll each year. This was practically
the earliest date that could be fixed by
statute, because all Of the bills presented
to the board Of commissioners at Their
January meeting are for services rem
dered during the prior year. The stat
ute also specifies that all warrants iss.et
by the auditor shall be upon the warrant
blanks for the year chargeable with thu
amount for which such warrant is issued
This provision Of the statute was in
tended to force a compliance with section
Z, article 3, of the constitution, whicl
provides that no county, city, school dis
trict or other subdivision of the stat
shall incur any Indebtedness or liabilit,
in any manner or for any purpose in tina
year exceeding the income and rcvenu
provid ed for it for such year. Section
; of article 7 of the constitution provide
that the fiscal year shall commence o.
the second Monday of January in eac
year. do not think that house bill Nc
72S, amending section 2oo9 revised sta
commencement OF the fiscal year. 1t di
not so state in terms, but merely provide
: that at the first meeting of the boar'
when bills for the new fiscal year al
considered, that a new series of warrant
should be used.
II therefore follows that warrant f
; services rendered in February or Marc
of this year is a 1900 warrant and must
tt paid from the revenue OF this year al
not from the revenue of 1899, unless a
, claims against the revenue of 1899 ha'
been heretofore paid. Very truly yonr
