The Indiana Supreme Court has de.
cided that it Is within the power of
the State Legislature to compel the
vaccination of school children. In rem
dering its decision, the court says that
1t does not presume to say whether or
not vaccination Is a preventive of
smallpox. 1t thinks this is not ques-
ton for the court and Is one about
which medical men differ. While
there Is in Indiana no explicit law
making vaccination compulsory as n
condition Of public school attendance,
the court declares that the school au-
thorlties, in excluding the boy whose
parents refuse to have him yaccinat-
ed, were within their province. They
had acted under the advice of the
State Board Of Health in view of an
emergency. However, the court rules
that the exclusion of the student in
question should not have force or ef-
feet longer thar the existence of the
emergency. The court does not doubt
that compulsory vaccination is clearly
within the police power of the State.
The glst of the matter is that child
may be given the choice either to be
vaccinated or to remain out of school
until the danger Of smallpox has
passed.

Says the Philadelphia Inquirer, in
condemnation Of the Italian anarchist:
ut may be that capital punishment is
not right. AS for us, we believe it is.
But no death which could be inflicted
upon the assassin of the late King of
Italy would be too severe, and we do
not believe that any civilized nation
would think 1t so.''

Consumption has often been called
the scourge of New England, so ter
rible have been the ravages of the dis
ease in that part of the country. 1t
is, therefore, fact of great import
ahce when it is shown that the mortal
ity from consumption in this section
is steadily diminishing. The latest re-
port of the State Registrar of Vital
Statistics for Maine demonstrates that
such diminution has been in progress
for number of years, the deaths from
the disease having been 1852 in 1892,
and In succeeding years, 1,299, 1,262,
1,105, LIP, LIPS and 1,021. The prin-
cipal reason for this remarkable fall
ing off Is undoubtedly the fact that
during this period the people have been
steadily coming to understand more
and more clearly that pulmonary tu-
berculosis Is n prcventable disease.
Eleven years ago the State Board of
Health issued its circular on the pre-
vention of consumption, and since then
it has repeatedly been published in
large editions, which have been distrib-
uted in every town. The press has
co-operated in this campaign of educa-
ton, and many hundreds of people
have been saved who, If left In ignor-
ance, would have died of the disease
which they have now fought off.

An Ohio judge has set aside ver-
diet of one cent damages for the
alienation of wife's affections, on
the ground that too low valuation
was placed on woman's love. That
is probably good law, and, moreover, If
women had the right Of suffrage 1t
1would insure that judges reelection

relics of the Western Indians. DR..
George A. Dorsey, curator of anthro-
pology, was very successful on his
recent expedition, as he has added no
less than 1900 separate objects to the

RELIEF OF MAFEk|NG.

Generally Believed Tha, viii BE the Next
British Move.
LONDON, March 3.-With no prospect
Of any exciting news coming in from
Ladysmith in the near future all eyes
turn once more towards Field Marshal
Lord Roberts and his advance into the
Orange Free State. The critics Of tho
afternoon newspapers are almost unani-
nous In expecting the main stand Of
tho Beers to occur at Winburg or in
it's vicinity. Before Lord Roberts adj
vance on Bloemfontein can become
effective the strong force Of Doors al
ready gathered southwest of Paardeberg
must be dispersed. The British lack re-
mounts and the necessity Of thorough
transport organization may delay de-
cisive action in this quarter for several
days and perhaps weeks. Mafeking
alone now awaits relief and force to
accomplish this is probably on it's way.
No more popular event could now oc-
chr for Great Britain than the relief of
Colonel Baden Powell's gallant little
band. It is believed they are quite able
to hold out till success arrives.
In Northern Cape Colony the British
progresses well. The whole
line Of the Orange River should shortly
be in their possession.

LONDON, March 3.-The war Office has

General Butler:
'Ladysmith, Friday March al find
the defeat of the Beers more complete
than l had dared to anticipate. This
whole district is completely clear Of
them and, except at the top Of Van

"Their last train left Modder Spruit

they then blew up the bridge. They
packed their wagons six days ago, NOV
ing them to the north Of Ladysmith, so
that we had no chance Of intercepting

ties of ammunition Of all sorts, herds,

LONDON, March 3.-Lord Roberts at
Osfontein, six or eight miles east IT
Paardeberg, faces the reformed Boer
army from 5000 to 5000 strong. This
may be merely corps Of observation,
ready to retire on prepared positions.
Doubtless it is receiving accessions from
the late besiegers of Ladysmith and
other points. Whatever the forces may
b. Lord Roberts has ample troops to
cope with them. A steady rain is fall
ing on the veldt and the grass is inn
proving. This will be 8 good thing
temporarily for the Beers.
Lord Roberts has surprised observers
by the excellence Of his transport dur
ing the first advance and he il uke4y to
do 80 again, although military men here
think he must wait for some days be-
fore going much farther. The Beers,
presumably, will use this delay for all
it is worth,
P.l ing Their Resources Together.
DR.. Leyds gives out the opinion that the
British entry of Bloemfontein is daily
expected, 40 Commandments. Dewet and
Delarey had been instructed to retard
the advance of Lord Roberts only until
tho concentration under General Jou-
bert had been accomplished. No ade-
quate explanation is yet made Of the
90, 900 relnforcements that are prepar-
ing for Lord Roberts. Such explana-
tions as are advanced tentatively sug-
gest either that the Cape Dutch have
become more FESTIVE or that the impe-
rial government has hint Of foreign
suggestions as to the future status Of
the allied republics.
The admiralty board has telegraphed
to the Cape commander an expression
of admiration and thanks on the part Of
the lords Of the admiralty to the ma
rines and blue jackets engaged in the
war for the "splendid manner in which
they have upheld their branches Of the

RELIEF FOR PORTO RICO.

House Acts Promptly on the Presidents
Recommendation.
WASHINGTON, March Sin response
to the recommendation Of the president
the house, after 40 minutes consdera-
ton, passed bill allowing the expendi-
ture of about a2,00O,000 collected in du-
ties on goods from Porto Rico for the
benefit of Porto Ricans. The vote on
passage of the bill was 1862 to 1917. The
Democrats opposed the measure because
it placed no limitation upon the presi-
dents discretion in the use of the
money. The presidents message was
as follows:
"Since the evacuation of Porto Rico by
the Spanish forces on the 18th day Of
October, 1898, the United Sites has
collected on products coming from that
island to the ports Of the United States
the duties fixed by the Dingley act
and amounting to $2,095, 455.8S, and
will continue to collect under said law
until congress shall otherwise direct.
Although had the power, and having
of the island, used it, to modify duties
on goods and products entering
into Porto Rico, 1 did not have
tho power to remit or modify
duties on Porto Rican products coming
into the ports Of the United States. In
view Of the pressing necessity for imme-
date revenue in Porto Rico for con-
Quoting tho government there, and for
the extension Of public education and in
view also Of the provisional legislation
just inaugurated by the house Of repre-
sentatives, aud for the purpose Of max.
ing the principle embodied in that legis.
lation applicable to the immediate past
ps we'll az to tho immediate future,
recommend thatthe above sum SO COL
lected and the sums hereafter collected
under existing laws shall, without wait
ing for the enactment 'f +i.e general
legislation now pending, be appropriate
ed for the use and benefit of the island.'

MEETS OPPOSITION
House Porto Rican Bill Likely
to Have a Hard Time Of It
In the Senate.
Several Radical Amendments
Offered as Soon as Consid-
Grafton Eegan.
FORAKER HAS CHARGE OF IT
Insists That the Duty Pro-
posed Is to Secure Nee
essary Funds.
House Acts Promptly on the
Relief Message Submitted
by Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, March S.-Interest in
the Porto Rican tariff measure now has
been transferred from the house to the
senate. Consideration Of the bill en-
bodying substantially the provisions Of
the house bill and in addition providing
for temporary form of civil govern
ment for the island Of Porto Rico was
begun in the senate during the day. Mr..
Foraker (Rep., o., chairman Of the
committee on Pacific islands and Porto
Rico, being in charge of the measure.
Scarcely had the reading of the bill
been concluded when Mr.. Teller (Colo.)
proposed an amendment providing, in
brief, that the purpose Of the pending
bill is simply to establish temporary
government in Porto Rico for the pur-
pose Of enabling the people Of the island
later to establish a permanent govern
ment, republican in form, in which
there will be accorded the people the
right Of self government, the adoption
Of constitution and the establishment
of a permanent form Of government not
interfering with the sovereignty Of the
United States over the island or it's in
habitants.
Stewart Favors Free Trade.
This amendment was followed by an
other by Mr.. Stewart New striking
out the provision levying a duty on
Porto Rican goods and providing that
they should be admitted free into the
United States.
A spirited debate was participated in
by Messrs. Foraker, Teller, Stewart and
others. Mr.. Foraker contended that
the duties levied on Porto Rican prod.
ucts were necessary because the island
was in need Of revenues. Every dollar
levied as duties would be turned into
the treasury Of the island and the com.
mittee held that this was the only prac.
ticable means Of securing the needed
funds.
Mr.. Stewart strongly upheld the pol
icy Of the president as announced in his
last annual message Of giving free trade
to the Porto Rioans.
An hour and half of the session was
devoted to consideration Of the Quay
case, Mr.. Hoar (Mass) presenting an
able constitutional argument in favor Of
the seating of Mr.. Quay on the ground,
mainly. that it was the intention of the
trainers of the constitution that the sen.
ate at all times should have its full
quota of members.

IN THE THROES OF WAR.


There is war and rumors of war in
our sister town of Kemmerer between
the mayo and common council, and
we expect every day to see the town
in the throes Of a fractional fight that
will eclipse the feuds of Kentucky.
The cares and burdens of the youthful
city government do not set lightly up
on the august shoulders of the city
fathers. because discord and d%issension,
o than harmony and peace, have
insinuated themselves into the deliber-
atoms of the council hall. No bad blood
has been engendered yet, but in the Ian
guage of Pope, mighty contests from
trivial things arise"
The council of Kemmerer has held
its meetings, since its incorporation.
in Keenan's hall. which place and
privilege of meeting was kindly con-
tributed to the town by the mayor,
r. A. Keenan,. On Monday evening,
being the regular meeting night of the
council. the town marshal. according

the mayor, the new clerk and each
member of the council to be present at
the appointed time and place.
George A. Macarthur. editor of the
Kemmerer Camera, being C. P. Diehl's
successor as town clerk land editor too,
by the way), was in Diamondville that
day on business principally bothering
this editor), but he slicked up and was
the first to grace the town forum with
his presence. The weight of this new
born greatness he shifted uneasily from
one shoulder to the other and paced
the spacious arena with the grandilo-
quence of a Roman senator. But bark,
a footstep! The mayor approaches.
Where is the valiant host that should
be here?" asked he. Have all my SOL
diers deserted me?" Don't know
said the clerk; don't ask me-"
Time dragged its weary length along
and no one came. so the mayor and the
clerk adjourned, threatening to fire the
whole council.
In the meantime the councilmen, who
are L. N. Higgins, DR.. w. Lovejoy, R.
A. Stanley and T. B. Carnahan, ignor-
ing the m Of the marshal, re-
paired to Judge Rosenberg's Office and
held a meeting of their own.
They fired City Marshal Naylin and
appointed Al. Cyphers to preside over
the peace of the city. They fred the
new clerk and elected Mr.. Beemer to
that position. They wanted to fire the
mayor too, but they were afraid the
mayor wouldn't stay fired. and then
they adjourned.
Kemmerer o enjoys the unique
distinction of having two town clerks
and two town marshals, and it is hard
ly safe for the unwary to approach the
sacred and well guarded precincts Of
that town-Diamondville News.

the ground and was about to scalp him
when Hayes dragged the Indian off and
killed him. Hayes was then a young
man and the deed was such a brave
one that the officers took the trooper
in hand TO. prepare him for the mill
tary academy. This, however, was
frustrated by the war. Hayes went to
Ohio, his native state, where he served
with a cavalry regiment from that
state. He won great distinction for
himself and after the war entered the
regular army. At the close of the a
he had saved about $500, and knowing
that the war had stripped the southern
officers of everything, he sent the mon
ey to General Lee, telling him that he
did not need it and that he wanted
him to use it in order to get upon his
feet. Today there exists the greatest
friendship between these two men.
General Lee never hesitates to admit
that he owes his life to Hayes. The
latter officer is now a lieutenant-cole-
mel and is commanding the Fourth cav
airy in the Philippines. 1t was he who
recently captured ~Aguinaldo's wife,
mother and child.
