SMALLPOX PATIENTS.

An opportunity for the contracting
physician of this county to set him
self right before the taxpayers was
frowned upon by the said physician
yesterday, when the Bee requested
him to make a statement concern
ing the rumors of jobbery and curt
criticisms of his manipulation of pest

about since the public became in.

The reception at the hospital last
night was largely attended and was
one of the social events of the year.
The large new hospital was thrown
open to the many guests and excited
many expressions of admiration. The
building is modern in all respects
and the sightseers who thronged the
the many rooms and corridors had
nothing but praise for the arrange
ments made for receiving patients
and caring for them.
Chester's orchestra rendered a
number of selections throughout the
evening, and dainty refreshments
were served. Mrs. Weber was as
sisted in receiving by number of
society leaders, and the affair was
in all respects decided success.

which might be made more attractive
by the introduction of floats by the
merchants and societies. Certainly,
a procession should mark the day,
and it is presumed all the various so
ciety organizations will be well rep
resented.
The directors of the Flathead Fair
association have placed the opening
wedge for the celebration of indie
pendence day and if they will act
upon the suggestions outlined, hearty
support may be expected from the
citizens. All will help to push along
a good thing.

Foul Holes Found.

The city board of health inspected
number of backwards and closets

Second avenue west last night. A
number of foul holes were found and
the owners were ordered to clean up
their premises.

In Switzerland, when a measure is
to be voted on by the people, a copy
of the bill is mailed to each qualified
voter, explaining the intent and pur-
poses of the proposed law. A ballot
accompanies the bill, and the voter
has several days to consider the mat
ter, and can personally deposit the
ballot or can mail it free to the prop
er officers, when he has signed it up.
If the law involves an expenditure,
the amount involved, what it is to be
spent for and how, what provision is
made for the collection of the sum, a
diagram of the property to be bought
and the price to whom il is to be
paid and all other matters connected
with the proposal are sent to each
voter with his ballot. The voter can
then see and judge for himself
whether the deal is clean and desira-
bic. This famlliarizeS the people
with the laws, 1t prevents jobbery
and corruption. 1t takes the officers
out of temptation to bribery by max
ing bribery profitiess, for they are
not the rulers and cannot enact the
law without the peoples consent, and
no one would gain by bribing them.
This method also prevents the pass
ing of many laws, as in this country,
most of which are in the interest of
individuals and corporations, and not
in the interest of the people. The
Swiss people would and do not toler
ate law for private interest.

PUSH ALONG A GOOD THING.

From present indications it seems
that the Kalispell people have tacitly
agreed to delegate the Fourth of
July celebration to the County Fair
association, but by the same token
1t could not have been placed in bet
ter hands. The vim and energy dis
played by the Fair association man.
agement in their own preparations
for affording entertainment to the
visitors and citizens generally is an
evidence that the authority to pro-
coed in this line could not have been
placed more worthily
1t has been suggested that arrange
ments on more elaborate scale be
undertaken by the Fair association
and that they be aided by subscrip-
lions from the business men, to
assemble even greater attractions for
the Fourth, and take entire charge
and control of the doings. The idea
is good one and should be acted
upon, an executive head to the work
will insure a successful ending.
Assurances from the towns and
hamlets surrounding Kalispell point
to large attendance and there will
be hundreds from the reservation
VINO have probably not visited Kalis
pell since the last big celebration
three years ago. Continuing, as il
has already been designed, over two
days, the 4th and 9Th of July. the
merchants will do well to promote E
celebration on grand scale, as they
will reap the principal benefit.
An important feature which should
not be overlooked by the committe,
of arrangements, is the procession

and Third Streets.
The new drinking fountain that
was ordered at a recent meeting of
Inc city council is expected to arrive
in short time, and will be placed
position on the corner of Main and
Third streets. 1t will be in the shape
of trough, and will be large enough
for two horses to drink from at a
time.
The location is better in many re-
spects than the old one, as it does
away with the partial stopping OF
traffic on Main street, as well as pre-
venting formation of pool of water
on the street.

DINGMAN'S FERRY.

Those who were so fortunate as to
be supplied with fleece lined under
wear and felts and rubbers from the
Big Store previously to the cold snap
were happy enough to shake hands
with themselves and feel comfortable.
Farmers institute will be held at
Dlngman's Dec. Both. We hope our
Jersey friends will attend.
A gentleman here named Myers,
who has been blind since he was nine
months old, can lay carpet, lath
houses, work on ii. jobs, do all sorts
of chores on a farm, harness horses
and travel alone from one neighbor
to another. He expects soon to go to
Philadelphia and resume his position
as travelling salesman for a book con-
cern.
The last snow storm put a stop to
tie jobs.
Hoop poles and straps are in good
demand. T. Armstrong & Co. at
Milford will buy them at fair prices,
Chestnut, oak, maple and birch pre-
ferred. A good chance for boys to
earn some money and learn a trade.
Miss Patience Skipper, cook at
Ardtornish, was recently found in
the snow in front Of the house un-
conscious having fallen on an icy
step.
Garret Brodhead, Frank Downs,
Peter and Emery Smith fished the
Mink's pond last Saturday during
the storm.
Calvin Cron will build a dam on
the farm recently purchased by him
so as to have a fish pond right at
home.

We are being blessed with plenty
Of snow and at present writing the
sleighing could not be finer. Sunday
was an ideal day for sleigh riding
and many took advantage Of the fine
weather and sleighing.
Those annual meetings Of friends
and relatives at holiday time are
almost here and it is the happiest
time Of all the year, when the absent
are once more gathered about the old
family hearthstone, and may those
reunions be duly observed.
The supervisors Of Orange County
are great on economy for at their
meeting last week the board resolved
to pay no man bounties for the kill
ing of foxes. The board paid for 238
pelts last year and this is a hint to
our fox hunters to go for the foxes
before our Solons at Trenton repeal
the law giving bounty for them.
The proposed macadam road from
Tuttles Corner across the mountain
has struck a snag in the caveat fled
by Doc Utter against laying out said
road over his lands. 1t is not SO long
ago that Doc came to me and wanted
me to put in my items that che was
IN favor of the road first, last and all
the time" Doc is not the real man
in that caveat.
The quail are having a hard time
of it with the heavy fall Of snow on
one hand and the hunter on the other.
But, thanks toa wise law, no hunting
can be done while there is snow on
the ground. On Friday a flock of 16
were seen on the grounds of the lay
ton school running about.
The Sussex county teachers insti-
tute will be held in the public school

AR1sTOoRATIc PRISONERS.
Thousands of NObIemen Among the
COnvicts OF Russia and Euro
pean Countries.

A Vienna paper states that few peo-
pie have any idea Of the large num-
Der Of men and women of noble birth
undergoing penal servitude on the con-
tinent, says the London Express.
1t estimates that Russian prisons
alone contain $4,000 aristocrats, while
there are several thousand noblemen
in the penal establishments of Italy.
Two dukes of Notarbartolo are, for in
stance, at present undergoing penal
seryitude for life in the Italian prison
of Les Maddalena for the brutal murder
of a young officer whom they had
swindled at card playing and who had
threatened to denounce them as card
sharpers.
Among the conyicts in a Belgian pris-
on are Prince Charles de Looz-Cos-
warren, who committed number Of Vi
gantic frauds and one crime of vio-
lence, and the marquis of Varela, for
the murder of his own mother.
In France there are several hundred
titled aristocrats in prison, and though
no statistics are available regarding
Austria and Germany the same state
of things is said to exist there also.

NOT SO EASY IN TRANsvAAL.
Settlement of Annexed Territory Is
Causing Some Trouble.

Pretoria, July 16.-The settlement of the
annexed territories is not being accom-
plished without considerable friction. This
is especially noticeable in the bitter ha-
tired and persecution of the Beers who
stayed in the field to the end of the war
against the Beers who served as British
subjects. 1t is said that some of the
sensational scouts have been shot or
beaten. So intense is the feeling that
many of the burghers who fought consist
emily to the end distinguished themselves
from those who surrendered during the
war by wearing a green badge.
The Transvaal and Free State colors
are also freely worn, and the custom is
encouraged by the Dutch who did not
take an active part In the war. Many Of
the Burghers declare they were induced
TO agree to surrender by the false rep
RESERVATIONS of their leaders who painted
The terms too rosily. Dscordant ele-
n,ents are numerous, and any attempt to
place tho Burghers VINO surrendered dur
ing the war In authority over those who
fought throughout will likely result in a
renewal OF hostilities.
The majority of the Beers have an
parently in no way abandoned their ma
tionality, and some of them preach the
advisability of opening Dutch schools
SO as to keep alive their nationality. The
whole situation so bristles with difficult
ties that there are not lacking those who
doubt If the document signed May 81
was really the final settlement of the
South African troubles
