DOCTOR TURNED DOWN
The Red Lodge School Board Takes Fall
Out of County Physician

HE'S A VERY BAD ACTOR

Schools and the Board Orders Them
In Again.

The alleged physician who poses as

board and the county attorney, to re-

1t is seldom that q school board IS
called upon to adjust a matter in which
narrow -mindedness on the part of
public official is more apparent than 1T
was in this case. Sometime during the
last summer the ranch home Of Mr..
Long was invaded by smallpox and sew
eral members Of the family were atttict-
ed. In none Of the cases, however, did
the illness appear serious and no physi-
clan was called The disease ran it's
course and, at the beginning Of Septem-
Der, no illness remained iii the family.
Mr.. Long himself was the last to recov-
Ell and as soon as he was we'll the house
and clothing Of the family we're fumi-

sidered good and sufficient.
Mr.. Longs three boys entered the Red
Lodge schools Oct l6. When Superin-
tendent Kay asked them to be vaccinat-
ed their father at first objected, but
when Superintendent Kay explained the
situation Mr.. Long Immediately had the
BOYS vaccinated. About two weeks ago
Mary, the l5-year-old daughter of Mr.
Long, entered school. She was asked il
she had been vaccinated and replied that
she had not: that she was an immune

before. She was asked if the place hac

DIR. Kelley was notified and informed
the superintendent that his action wa
perfectly proper. On Thursday tn
health officer had evidently changed hi
mind, for he went down to the schoo
house and told the superintendent t
dismiss the four Long children, STATING
that he Kelley was going to commenc

Kay dismissed the children and on Sat

belle, were married by Rev. w. w. Love,

which has been supposed to be anthrax
is nothing more than blackleg. He
states that there is no excuse for the
prevalence Of blackleg as it can be
stamped out by vaccination, and that
the government is furnishing the vaccine

TO TAKE VIGOROUS ACTION
THIS GOVERNMENT WILL NOT AL
Low ATTACK ON PANAMA.
Dispatch Sent to Consul General
Announcing This Determinations.

The State Department received advices
today from Consul General Gudger, at
Panama indicating that the Colombian
| revolution has again assumed a serious
aspect. He states that the Colombian gov
eminent announces that the revolutionists
are approaching Panama, and are making
preparations for a fight, which is likely
to occur soon.
There is reason to believe that the United
States government will adopt q vigorous
line of action in case the city of Panama
is attacked there is any interruption OF
the transit facilities of the isthmus.
According to treaty arrangement with
Colombia the United States has been given
a certain measure of protection over the
peaceful conduct of this traffic across the
isthmus.
This obligation gives the government even
a greater interest in the disturbance than
would arise from the usual protection &C
corded to American lives and property.
That there will be energetic action was
foreshadowed when similar demonstra-
ton against Panama was threatened Il few
months ago. At that time Consul General
Gudger reported that the revolutionists
would lombard the city of Panama.
Acting Secretary Of State Hill promptly
sent dispatch to Mr.. Gudger today an
nouncing in unusually vigorous terms that
this government would not tolerate any ac-
ton likely to prejudice American interests
or interfere with the rights which this gov
eminent has assumed. The dispatch became
public In Panama. and had the effect of
putting an eni to the plans of lombard
ment.
Mr.. Gudger's present dispatch does not
indicate that the city itself is about to be
attacked, but If 1t develops by later infor-
nation that there is any prospect Of bonn
bardment. the vigorous procedure of a
few months ago will be repeated
AT present the gunboat Ranger Is at
Panama. and the Philadelphia and Iowa are
on a cruise down the Pacific coast.

CIVIL WAR VETERANS
Do Not Receive Much Preference
Under Civil Service.
LOOPHOLE IN THE ACT PREVENTS IT
Commander-in-Chief Rassieur Of
the G. A. r. Explains.
SOME MISTAKEN IDEA S

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. January SIN an inter
view Commander-in-Chfef Leo Rassieur of
the Grand Army of the Republic, referring
to past and present legislation for the BEN
eft Of civil war veterans who may wish to
secure employment in the public service,
said to reporter Of the Associated Press:
'"rhe very much mistaken idea that a
preference is now enjoyed by all survivors
of the civil war for certihcation to and ap-
pointment in the civil service under the
national government, and that the bill H.
r. 5779. the passage of which by the House
under suspension of the rules on December
was unsuccessfully urged by Representa-
tive Bromwell of Ohio, simply extended this
preference to the soldiers and sailors of the
recent war. evidences lack of knowledge
on the subject so general that 1t ought to

Provision of the Law.
''The fac: is this: Section 1854, Revised
Statutes, passed March 0, 1865, provides
that persons honorably discharged from the
military or naval service by reason of dis
ability resulting from wounds or sickness
incurred in the line of duty shall be pre-
ferred for appointments to civil Offices etc,
etc. And this is the only law bearing on
preference 1t was intended to benefit the
ex-Union soldier and sailor. This law has
benefited those of the regular army and
navy who enlisted since 1865 to the extent
of 40 per cent. OF course, the discharge
must show that it was based on disability,
This being so. the law is applicable now to
all regulars and to the volunteers of the re-
cent war, or those serving in the Philip
pines. who have been or may be honorably
discharged from the military or naval ser
vice for disability resulting from wounds or
sickness incurred in the line of duty. but
not to others.
There is not and never has been any
preference enjoyed by men who served out
their terms of enlistment or until the close
of nostllities in the civil war. If man
was wounded twenty times refusing dis
charge for disability by reason thereof he
has no legal preference whatever in the
civil service. Many such cases there were

"By a rule the ipso dixit of the commits

The efforts of committees of the G. A.

the interest of all who served faithfully and
