Importance and will require very care
full consideration. The tendency of
food chemists in this country is
against the prohibition of the sale of
any food article if properly labeled,

PASSES NO. GOOD.
Not Be Accepted on North Coast Limited
to Be Resumed Next Month.

The North Coast Limited of the
Northern Pacific railroad will be re-
established in February, at the time
the next cheap excursion will be put
into effect on the road, as it will be
necessary to have an additional train
to accommodate the travel, and it is
to be strictly a ''pay train" No
passes whatever will be honored, and
it is rumored that the president him
self will have to put up cash or else
walk. All the annual passes that
have been received by the officers and
employees of the road contain the state
ment that they will not be good on the
North Coast Limited. On November
6, Of last year, Charles s. Fee, general
passenger and ticket agent, sent
notice to all ticket agents that news
paper passes would not be recognized
on the North Coast Limited. The
wording of the latter was:
II want to give you advance notice
at this early date that editorial tickets
of any kind will not be good on TIE
North Coast Limited train when it is
er-established next year."
Last year newspaper passes of any
kind were accepted on these trains,
but it now seems as though Mr.. Fse
was bound to see how much money
can be made by running the North
Coast Limited.

TWO DEATHS.
Men Killed at McShane's Grading Camp
by Dynamite Explosions.

Coroner DR.. James Chapple. who
vas called to Mcshane's grading camp
at Pryor gap Thursday to hold an in
quest over the body of a grader killed
by a dynamite explosion, found a dou-
BILE duty to perform upon his arrival
at the camp, for another man was
killed by another explosion the morn
ing before his arrival.
The man killed Wednesday was
VIM. Sheen. He had left the scene

plosive was fired and had gotten quite
a distance down the hill when a rock

was caused by his own carelessness.
Up to the time of his death Sheen had
$3.6 SO coming from the company.
The last accident was the killing of
James Boalt, who had charge of the
blasting. The last seen of Boalt alive
was by his fellow workers that morn
ing as he was noticed going to a pit
where he had a fire. A few minutes
later they heard All explosion and on
going there found Boalt in a dying
condition, death resulting in a few
moments. 1t is supposed that he had
started to thaw out some dynamite
when it exploded. Boalt leaves a
wife and children at Garretson, S D..
His body was brought to Billings yes
terday and will be given a respectable
burial today, that being the request of
his wife. Up to the time of his death

verdict was that he came to his death
through his carelessness in handling
explosives.

SHALL WOMEN VOTE?
Montana Likely to Be Asked to Vote on
the Question.

Another effort will be made this
winter by the federation of woman's
clubs to secure the passage Of a law
providing for the submission to the
people at the next general election for
a constitutional amendment granting
to women equal suffrage.
Last year the bill was introduced III
the house by John r. Toole, who was
a warm friend of the measure, and it
was defeated after considerable de-
bate. 1t was known as house bill No.
SO.
Since then the woman's clubs and
the woman's suffrage organizations
have been active and during the fall
when both political conventions met
in Helena, a committee of represent
ative women appeared before the
committee o. resolutions of each body
and urged that a woman's suffrage
plank be incorporated in the platform.
While neither body went on record as
favoring the plan there were a number
of members Of the committee who
were strongly in favor Of extending to
women the right to vote.
The bill drawn last year T. j. Walsh
and introduced by John R. Toole,
will again be introduced this session.
Petitions have been circulated in
many parts of the state, urging the
passage of the law and these will be
presented to the legislature as OOH as
the bill is introduced.

Subscription Paper Being Circulated to

lating a subscription paper for the
purpose of raising funds with which
to build a new school house in his dis
trict to take the place of the one de-
stroyed by fire last spring. The paper
received numerous signatures. Many
who signed it feel, however, that the
trustees are at fault in that they neg
lected to insure the school building,
in which event enough money would
have been received to have erected a
new one instead of calling upon the
people to respond to their aid for
financial assistance.

BANKRUPTCY
Lawyers Who Are Derelict in Their Duties
Towards Clients.

Clerk Sproule of the United States
court in Helena, has adopted a rule in
bankruptcy matters, for the protection
of bankrupts. It appears quite a
number of attorneys are lax and dere-
lict in their duties to their clients, es-
pecially in cases where no trustee is
appointed. In such cases $15 is de-
posted, $40 for the court costs and SIS
for the appointment of a trustee.
Where no trustee is appointed this
money is refunded or applied to the
fee for discharge. There are a num-
Der of cases where no trustee has been
appointed and the time limit for ap-
plying for discharge has about ar
rived. By the neglect of the attor-
neys to attend to the business of their
clients, the clients are liable to have
their cases set aside, and will have to
go through bankruptcy all over again,
all of which is an injustice chargeable
solely to lawyers who do not do JUS
tice to their clients
Complaint has also reached the
United States court clerk that some
attorneys, who accept money from
clients, fail to pay the court and ref
cree costs as contracted for, preferring
to ''hold-up' their unfortunate clients
until they get the full amount of their
fee. A case in point is of a we'll
known lawyer, recently admitted to
the bar, only through the influence of
friends, and then by the ''skin of his
teeth,' who agreed to see a client
through bankruptcy for $75. The eli
emit paid him $50, and up to date the
attorney has only filed his papers, but
has not paid the referees fees and
refuses to make another move until
the remaining $40 is paid. The case
has been hanging for several months,
and prominent attorneys and court
officials who have heard of the case,
say they are getting tired of this kind
of practice and expect to make an ex-
ample of some one before the bar as
ISOLATION before very long.

HE WAS CRAZY.
Young Man from McShane's Camp Taken
to Asylum.

to Asylum.
Will Dickson, a young man, was
brought into Billings Thursday night
from McShane's grading camp, crazy.
He was examined yesterday and
ordered confined in the state insane
asylum at Warm Springs, for which
place Deputy Sheriff Harding left yes
terday afternoon with the prisoner.
Dickson, who is only 10 years of age,
claimed to be a native of Laramie,
Wyo., and said his mother was living
at 1912 Cummings streets, Omaha, Neb.
His particular hallucination seemed
to be illusions and continuous talking
to himself on one thousand and one
different topics. He seemed to think
that some one was after him to rob
him.
