NOTHING WRONG WITH BILL.

Special Correspondence Inter Mountain.
Helena, Feb. 27.-Mr. jean MacGin-,
mis- has developed strong antipathy to-
ward senate bill No. 81, introduced by
Worden, Mr.. MacGinnis thinks that bill
is a little devil arrayed in the livery of
heaven, and that everything good in
the state will be wrecked if the legs-
lature should see fit 20 pass it, In
view CT the fact that Mr.. MacGinnis
is well known as the foremost opponent
of Mr.. Heinze, who is supposed to own
a few mines and one judge somewhere
in this state, this active antagonism
of Mr. MacGinris to senate bill No.
81 is rather interesting.
Chairman Gilchrist, of the house jul
dietary. committee. asked for an extern
sion of time. in which the committee
might consider the bill, and was granted
"a hours. Accordingly report will he
handed in tomorrow.
The innocent nature of the bill and
its evident intention to secure fair trials
in civil actions may be seen at once
by perusal of it's provisions.
In order to prevent the passage of
this bill, it is claimed, the MacGinnis
forces are willing to make any sacrifice.
either in the legislative or the senatorial
line. The outlook, judging from the SEN
tlment generally expressed. is that they
will be forced to be content with the
passage of the bill and will not be able
to dictate great deal regarding the
senatorial contest. either.
BOARD OF HEALTH.
After debate lasting nearly two
ha hn,, tn,
whole. this afternoon decided to recon-
mend the passage of GIlchrists bill for
an act creating a board of health, de-
filming it's powers and duties. providing
for the compensation of it's officers. and
providing for enforcement of it's rules
and regulations.
The debate was over sections 90 and so,
reading as follows:
Section 20. 1t shall be the duty Of ev-
cry parent and guardian to have his
or her child vaccinated within twelve
months after it's birth, if it shall be in
proper condition, or as soon thereafter
as practicable; and if such guardian
or parent shall have any other person
under his or her control or care. not
duly vaccinated, he or she shall cause
such person to he vaccnated prior to
the first day of November of each year.
Any person failing to comply with the
provisions of this section SHALL on con-
viction thereof forfeit and pay a sum
of not less than five or more than ten
dollars for each offense
Section 30. No teacher in any school
shall receive into such school any per-
son as a scholar until such person shall
produce the certificate of some regular
practicing physician that such applicant
g.. nlV Cestr s~,&-
duly vaccnated. Any teacher so Of
feEding shall, on conviction thereof, for
felt and pay a fine of ten dollars for
each offense: and no public school trus-
tee or commissioner shall grant a per-
NIT to any child to enter any public
school without such certificate, under
the same penalty.
The two sections We're finally cut out
of the bill, and with few other amend
ments. all of a minor nature, the bill
was recommended for passage. the re-
port of the committee being adopted by
the house.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
In the senate this afternoon two spe-
cial orders. senate bill No. Il. and SEN
ate bill No. 10s, We're taken up and
considered in committee of the whole
Senator Geiger moved that his bill
No. Il, be recommended for passage and
that senate bill No. 1Os, introduced by
Senator Murray, covering much the same
subject matter, be indefinitely postponed
He stated that the house committee
favored the passage of his bill and if
VT to that body it would doubtless
pass.
While the matter was being consider
ed message was received from the gov
ernor announcing the appointment of
j. w. Tattan as judge of the twelfth
iudicial district, and also that he had
signed senate joint memorial No. 2, Pc
ptitioning congress for the settlement
of certain isolated tracts on the Crow
Indian reservation.
Afterward the senate went into execu-
tive session. When open session was
resumed the two road bills were again
considered. The Geiger bill was final
ly recommended for adoption and the
