drawn by the firm of Cort & Worden,
one a member and the other the clerk
of the board. After the completion Of
the school house the board submitted
TO the bondsmen a statement of account
claiming a balance due from the bonds
men of s99O5. 20. If that amount, or any
amount is actually due from the bonds
men TO the district, not the bondsmen,
but the trustees, whose duty il is to
bring suit for that amount, are the
parties who are eulpable in the matter,
and particularly when all the parties
can be made to respondin damages. The
board of trustees, at the time of this
controversy, obtained the opinion of an
eminent attorney at Helena upon the
question and paid him the sum of fifty
dollars for hat opinion. Further than
that, they paid the expenses of Trustee
Jackson to make a trip TO Helena TO
consult with that attorney and gave
him all the facts in the case.
In view of the fact that Chairman
Cort and Clerk Worden of the board are
both attorneys, and they having the
opinion of an eminent attorney from
the outside, it seems strange that they
have not brought an action upon the
bond. Whether, through their w ne
glect or carelessness or ignorance in
drawing the bond and contract, these
instruments are faulty, or because Of
the subsequent action of the members
of the board the contract had been
broken by them and the bond thereby
vitiatcd-in either case it is playing the
baby act'to say that the bondsmen are
liable.
II the bondsmcn are liable the trus-
tees have been most negligent in the
performance of their duty in not bring
ing an action TO o the amount for
which they are liable. If they are not
liable, it is to the interest of the gem
tlemen, who were then members ofthe
board. to seek reelection for another
term of three years, in the hopes that
at the expiration Of that time no one
would be sufficiently interested to make
a thorough investigation of all the
reasons back of the failure of that con
tract and bond.
In what we have stated, we do not
wish to intimate that any member of
the board has been dishonest, or that
any of the funds of the district have
been misappropriated, except to the ex-
tent of being paid out in some instances
for services for which the statutes pro-
vide a member Of the board Of trustees
shall not charge or he paid. What we
10 charge them with is gross negligence
and carelesSncss on the part of the
members OF the board and OF the clerk
in the management of the affairs of this
school district.

WIFE TRIED TO POISON nIn.
To Get Him Out of the Way For In
surance Money.


w. NJ. Usher VS.. Bernie Usher
is the style of a divorce suit filed
in the clerks Office yesterday. The
plaintiff alleges that he and de-
fendant we're married on March
%, 1901, and he left her on April
%, 1901, and goes on to give his
reason for such a short term of
married life.
Plaintiff first says that defend
ants actions toward him were
cruel and barbarous, and such that
made his safety doubtful; that de-
tendant sought tc, and attempted
to take the life of plaintiff. in Or
der to obtain plaintiffs insurance
money and his other property (;
that defendant offered to Ben
Nixon that if he would furnish
the whiskey that she would put
poison in it and give it to plaintiff,
and thereby dispose of plaintiff and
get him out of the way and divide
what he had between them. That
defendant did, or tried to enter
into a contract with one Noland,
by which defendant and Noland
would, together, take plaintiff 5
life aud divide his life insurance
and property between them.
For these aud other reasons
plaintiff prays the court for a
severance of their marriage vows
and a total divorce.

CURIOUS CUCkOOS.

The cuckoo is generally known only
as bird with a very uionotonous note !:
n continuous cry Of cuckoo, cuckoo ="
over and over again. Among naturalists
however, the cuckoo is known as a bird
that never builds a nest for itself. but
takes advantage Of one already built by
some more industrious bird.
There is a good deal Of the cuckoo
about these advertisers who, instead Of
making a success Of their own, seek to
proht by the success which some one
else has made with much effort and
labor. II is 50 with those limitations OF
DR.. Pierces methods, by which free
medical advice is offered, although those
who make the offer are without qualified
medical ability or experience. And the
cry raised in some cases of woman,
woman, woman write TO woman makes
the resemblance TO the cuckoo even
stronger.
There is as far as known no qualified
woman physician connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment, and
none therefore competent to give medi-
cal advice. II is certain that there is no
one, man or woman, who can offer free
medical advice backed by such knowl-
edge ana experience as is possessed by
DR.. X. Y. Pierce, chief consulting ply
sician TO the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo,
y. y. For over thirty years DR. Pierce
has made a speciality of the treatment
OF diseases peculiar to women In that
time he has treated over half-a-million
women, ninety-eight per cent. of whom
have been perfectly cured. Every sick
woman is invited 10 consult DR.. Pierce
by letter absolutely without charge or
cost. Every letter is held as strictly pri-
vate and sacredly confidential. and all
answers are mailed secur ~ sealed in
perfectly plain envelopes bearing no
printing whatever upon them.

THAT THIRD TERM

dent Mckinley has no opposition,
no enemies and no critics. Why
not elect him for a third termi"
asked Senator Chauncey w. De
pew at the auditorium last night.
The genial gentleman landed in
Chicago from New York at 9
O'Clock. He brought with him a
good story or two and several
striking ideas.
Senator Depew declares that he
had talked with no politicians and
had consulted no one about a third
term for Mckinley. He said it
was not an idea of the president
and that third term nomination
never would be accepted by him
unless at the call of his party and
his country.
In the last conversation | had
with James G.. Blaine" ," the sena-
tor continued, he told me that
never again would a president be
elected to second term, because
the distribution of patronage made
deadly enemies while the policies
chosen raised up critics. This was
true of Harrison. 1t was false
with Mckinley. who somehow
secured friends instead of enemies,
and silenced ali but the captious
harpers by the wisdom of his
politics.
No there is nothing in the
written or unwritten constitution
forbidding a third term. Wash.
ington simply wished to retire to
his farm. He told the people he
had done his duty for eight years
and that the government was in
such a shape it could get on with.

of Caesar.

There was a good deal more of merit
in the performances given by the Merry
Maidens Burlosquers'' at KerHan's Ly-
ceun yesterday than has been dealt out
by many similar companies at this house
this season. The show is full of clean
fun notwithstanding its briskness.
The curtain rises on "A Gay Time at
the Capitol. and like its immediate
predecessor this company has a minstrel
first part with the innovation of a fe-
male interiocutOr. Nellie Hanley, with
the usual black face bones and tambos,
who sing and joke to the satisfaction OF
the audience. A well-trained feminine
chorus seated on the steps of the Capitol

Our Trolley Party is a little skit
which serves IS the vehicle to get away
from the scene of minstrelsy. and with
change of costumes and fresh supply
of song and jest, the jolly party, under
the direction of Nellie Hanley. James
Lowry and Ed Begley, speeds along to
give way to good. strong olio, which
is one of the features of the programme
and includes Ed. Begiey in a budget of
songs and funnyisms the Revere SIS

rich costumes while presenting their en-
joyable songs and dances; Thomas Leo
and Jessie Chapman, who introduce a
pleasing medley of fun and gymnastics
