AGAINST COMPULSORY SCHOOLING.

Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock
made a ruling on the 30th ult. that will
be distinctly hurtful to the government
indian schools that have been endeavor-
ing to enforce the attendance of Indian
children, If the Washington interpreta-
ton is correct. This decision formally
abrogates what is known as the brown
ing ruling which in effect held that 1t
was the duty of the service to fill the
regular government schools before per-
hitting drafts on the Indian children for
sectarian schools. This is said to be the
riost important action taken Tor long
,er,od in that matter of Indian schools,
and it was brought about thru the et-
forts of the Catholic clergymen, who de-
sired to aid their sectaran schools. me
effect of the order, as it Is interpreted

Gren free to go to any scnool OF 70 at

more nearly suit the inclination of the
red men, if one may judge by the his
tory of the attempts to secure attend
ance of Tama Indian children at the To-
ledo industrial school. Coming as 1t
does after the discouraging ruling OF
Judge shiras in the Jim Peters case, its
moral effect will not promote school at

of Indian children appointed by state
court sought to enforce compulsory at
tendance, and Judge shiras held. and his
authority is not questioned here, that
the state court had no authority toact
in the matter of guardianship, thus an

CORPORATIONS BEwlLDEREo.

The Chicago Tribune states that the
Illinois decision concerning the assess
inent of the capital stock of the great
corporations is naturally the subject OF
lively discussion. 1t is the engrossing
topic of corporate circles. the members
CT which are dazed by it and in a bewil-
dered way have applied to the state
board of equalization for an interpreta-
ton of 1t.
1t will be recalled that the supreme
court sustained the Chicago teachers
contention that the state board of equal
ization must assess franchises and capt
tai stock of corporations the latter hav-
ing previously escaped with light tax.
The defendants in mandamus proceed
ings which brought out this decision are
twenty three Chicago public service cor
porations whose property is valued al
Ss35, 100000. The rule laid down by the
court also applies to mercantile corpo-
rations, but not to manufacturing and
newspaper corporations, for the taxa
ton of which the law makes other pro-
vision. The court finds that in assess
ing the capital stock and franchises OF.
corporations the state board of equali-
cation acts not as a board of review,
but as an original assessor, and that by
mandamus 1t may be compelled ito as
sess the fair cash value of the capital
stock, including the franchises, over and
above the assessed value of the tangi-
bic property of all companies and asso-
Citations now or hereafter created under
the laws of the state"
The Chicago teachers brought this
matter into court to gain for the city an
increase of revenue out OF which In
creased salaries could be paid to teach
ers. and public sentiment Is said to sus-
tain, their action and the ruling OF the
supreme court.
The Tribune thinks the outcome vii.
be that IL the corporations are called on
TO pay taxes which they really believe
are quite unfair some of them may leave
the state and city, and that this move
nent would not be 20 regrettable on ac-
count Of the taxes lost thereby as 1t
would be on account of loss of Indirect
revenue and of municipal prestige.
When a great corporation transfers its
headquarters from Chicago to New
York 1t takes with it some of its en-
ployes. II leaves behind it vacant Of
fees and residences. The demand for
end consequent value of real estate are
imperceptibly affected for the worse
The Tribune summarizes its own views
by saying: Corporations should be
made TO pay just taxes They should
rot be guaranteed immunity from taxa
ton as an inducement to stay here. But
they should not be driven away by I'M
just taxation. That would indeed be
suicidal policy on the part of the state.
The outcome may be that legislative
action will be invoked to change or
amend the law. but they ought not to
be SO changed as to permit corporations

Equine Escaped From Stable Under
Suspicious Circumstances-Tak

A horse belonging to two boys. John
and James Roach, living at 1$5 East
Broadway. was taken from the barn in
the rear of the house Saturday night
The animal was returned last night, by
two boys who did not leave their names
and addresses. They made a lame ex-
cuse of having found the horse out near
Bald mountain, Sunday morning, but the
fact that the stable door had been un-
locked, the halter cut, the clothes line
also cut for interfering with getting the
animal out of the yard. and several other
little indications that showed more than
an equine intelligence in doing, pointed
to some one having taken the animal
from it's STALL The boys learned that
the police were on their trail. and came

badly yesterday. Go ahead and use him."

Col. Sam Word came in on this morn

the Great Northern train for Helena
this forenoon. He has just come back
from an extended trip to Alaska, and is
in good health and spirits and glad to
be back in Montana once more. He

portion of Alaska toward the early part
Of June, and on his return went down to
San Francisco. Colonel Word is as
genial and sunny as ever and looks upon
life with the cheerfulness of boy.

respects. I am glad to see so much

BUTTE QUEEN FOR SALT LAKE
Elks Will Send One of Butte's Fair
Daughters to the Carnival at
Mormon CITY.

Word has been received by the local
lodge Of Elks from their Salt Lake broth
rem that Butte lodge is expected and
earnestly requested to send a young lady
to Salt Lake to be one of the queens of
the Elk's carnival in that city No
action has been taken by the officials
of the Butte lodge, but there will be a
meeting held Thursday evening at which
the matter will be discussed and a young
lady chosen to go to Salt Lake.
During the heated term the Butte lodge
Of Elks have been meeting only once each
month instead of weekly as is their
usual custom. One meeting has. been
held this month and the meeting called
for Thursday evening will be the second
meeting in he month. 1t will be held
for the purpose of considering the mat
ter of sending young lady to the Elks
carnival in Salt Lake to act as one of
the queens Of that gracious occasion.
Il do not know what action the lodge
will take" said Exhalted Ruler Harry
Galwey to an Inter Mountain reporter
this morning. We have been requested
to send a queen of the carnival from
Butte, and at the meeting Thursday
evening the subject will receive atten-
ton. A large number of Butte Elks will
go 10 odPt Lake anu royal purple tlne
is expected.
Butte can send a queen to the SANITY
City that Will eclipse in beauty any
queen sent from any other section of
the state. 1t is my understanding of the
letter they sent the lodge that a queen
will be in attendance from each lodge of
Elks that attends.
"A large class of new members win
join the lodge shortly said Mr.. Galwey
with a CLEAN of humor in his eye. I'VE
will have a half hundred or more to put
through their PAGES when the lodge gets
down to business again. The Butte lodge
is forging ahead very fast"

HE TOUCHED THE POISON OAK
Police Asked to Arrest the March of
Disease-Several Aching Heads
Up Before the Judge.

Frank Burton came to the police std
ton this morning suffering from a bad
case of oak poisoning. 1t affected mis-
feet and neither limbs SO that he felt the
need of police interference to arrest the
course of the rash. He was forwarded
to the county Jail, where there are facil-
ties for giving him proper care.
Ed Mcfarland, George Borden and
Dave Emrick were three shame faced
drunks up for adjudication before judge
Boyle this morning. They were assessed
IS each for the good of the cause, which
they promised to pay. Two of them were
bald headed, and all very meek.
William Burke was up for disturbance
and using loud and abusive language on
the street. He is an old offender, and
was asked to contribute $40. 1t would
be the price of several good times, but
the judge had the drop on him and he
finally acquiesced.
The case of w. j. Milus, who was ar
rested Friday for carrying concealed
weapons, and the matter taken under adj
visement, was brought up, the judge as
sessing a fine of $25. Minus construed
the right to bear arms to be license for
carrying a gun half a yard long, in a
peaceful community, and the court could
not see 1t his way. An appeal was made
against the sentence.
Molie McMurray, an old offender, was
brought into Jail this morning in a
hilarious mood, from looking too long
down the open mouth of a long black
bottle. She was out on Main street, be-
tween Silver and Porphyry, giving loud
and excited lessons in the vernacular of
the alley. Her case will come up in the
morning
