COMMISSIONERS TERMS.
Deer Lodge County Fathers Inclined
=. To Disagree With Mr.. Nolan.

e. To Disagree With Mr.. Nolan.
Anaconda, Dec. 5.-Attorney Gener-
al Nolan has rendered an opinion that
the terms of county commissioners
now holding Office in Deer Lodge ex-
pire in November of net year. Even
before the election there was doubt
as to the date of the expiration OF
the terms of the present commission
ers, and no one felt quite sure of the
matter. The commissioners when
they met on Monday, got to talking
the thing over and came to the con-
clusion that their terms did not ex-
pire next November The matter
was referred to the deputy county
attorney in the absence of the county
attorney. and he in turn offered it to
the attorney general, with the forgo-
ing result. OF the present board only
one, James Geary, was reelected. 1t
remains to be seen whether Messrs.
Waller and Dawson will accept the
attorney generals ruling or take the
matter into the courts.

QUARANTINE
THREATENED
Butte Smallpox Is Constantly
Increasing.
BUSINESS MEN WARNED
That the City Is in Danger of Being
Rigidly Guaranteed The Pest
House Is Full.

Butte, Dec. 5.-The authorities prar-
tically acknowledge that they are un-
able to cope with the ever increas-
ing smallpox, epidemic. On Tuesday
at joint meeting of the county com
missiOners and the health committee
Of the city council, statement was
issued of which the following is part:
The public is hereby warned that
hereafter any person contracting the
disease in a boarding house, hotel or
private residence, shall be cared for
at such places at their own expense,
and all such places where disease ex-
lists shall be placarded, warning the
public that smallpox exists in such
place. and that any person entering
or leaving such place shall be subject
to arrest, and dealt with according to
law. 1T was therefore unanimously
agreed that any person contracting
the disease will not be received at
the pest house except paupers and the
destitute OF the city and county The
county and city boards of health have
made arrangements for free vaccin-
alton which is the only recommended
preventative of smallpox, and all per
sons not availing themselves Of these
opportunities shall bear the conse-
quences OF their own neglect, and
shall care for the disease at their own
expense. Believing that the public at
large is not fully alive to the enorm-
ity Of the situation and believing that
all should lend their assistance to
stamp out the disease, we hereby cal,
on all employers of labor to see that
their employees are vaccinated and
proprietors of hotels and lodging
houses are required to see that all
inmates are vaccinated. We also ad-
vance the statement to the business.
men of the city that owing to the
rapid increase of smallpox, there is
fear of rigid quarantine being estab-
llshed against our city, and by so do
ing thousands of men will be thrown
out of employment. We sincerely
believe it to be the duty of every
person in the city and county to aid
us in preventing these dire conse-
quences."
Up to Tuesday night there were 80
cases at the pest house. a number
which crowded that place to it's ut
most capacity.

The amendment was misunderstood
by many, and it is possible that the
misunderstanding is responsible for
the larger percentage of the votes
cast in opposition. 1t provides that
when a justice of the state supreme
court is disqualified for any reason
from sitting in a case a district Judge
may be designated to take his place
for the time The exact provisions
of the amendment. as 1t was passed
by the legislature for submission to
the people are:
Section 5 of article of the con-
stitution shall be amended by the ad-
ditiOn of the following:
I'm case any justice or justices of
the supreme court shall be in any way
disqualified to sit in case brought
before such court. the remaining JUS
tice or justices shall have power to
call On one or more of the district
judges of this state as In the particu-
lar case may be necessary to consti-
titute the full number of justices Of
which the said court shall then be
composed, to sit with them in the
hearing of said cause. In all cases
where district judge is invited to
sit and does sit as by this section
provided, the decision and the opin-
ion of such district judge shall have
the same force and effect in any cause
heard before the court as If regularly
participated in by Justice of the
supreme court -
The amendment is practical. 1t
grows out of the experience of the
past. One case in example: One of
the justices was disqualified because
previous to his advancement to tie
supreme court he had sat In judg-
ment upon the question from which
the appeal was taken. The remoin-
ing members disagreed and the colr,,
standing one and one, was unable to
reverse the case and the litigant lid
not have the benefit of his appeal in
the sense that he believed he should
have. There was another instar e,
in which one of the justices had
been an attorney in the suit, whi, i
was of long standing, and another
was disqualified because it was an ap-
peal from his own ruling. In that
event there was no quorum of the
court qualified to hear the appeal and
it could not be entertained.
The amendment makes it possible
.c have 4 full court, fer when one
or mole Of the justices are disquali-
fed, thelr places may be temporarily
filed.
The impression prevailed in some
ci, cles that the amendment was de-

An American Practice Initiated.

The German government has lately
adopted practice of our depart
ment of state in the shape of publish
ing and distributing gratuitously
special consular reports upon certain
trade matters and economical matters
of general interest, according to Vice
Consul General Hanauer, at Frank
fort. This new move is said to be
welcomed greatly, and the German
press states that these special re-
ports have rendered magnificent ser.
vice in the export trade of the United
States. Two reports of that nature
have already been issued by the Ger.
