Opposition to City Organiza-
ton C0nfesses Itself
Beaten.
CHARTER COMMISSION WILL
NOW GET DOWN TO WORK.
Messrs. McKusick and Gibbons
Unanimously Elected Attorneys
for the Commission.

At a meeting of the charter
mission held yesterday after
noon Chester McKusick and John
Gibbons were elected attorneys
for thecommissionand instructed
to proceed at once to draft a
charter and submit the same to
the com mission at the earliest
possible date.
And thereby hangs a tale.
Several months ago it was pro
posed to organize as a city.o The
matter was submitted to the
village council, where it still
slumbers. A few weeks ago
Messrs. McKusick and Gibbons,
believing that the interests of Be
midi would be better subserved
under a city organization, circu-
lated a petition for the appoint
ment of a charter commission.
They met at onceSwith the most
vigorous kind of opposition. 1t
was attempted to prevent the APP
pointment of a commission. This
failed. It was then attempted to
pack the commission with men
unfavorable to any action what
ever. In pursuance Of this policy
some Of the proposed mem bers
of the commission were induced
to withdraw their names and the
names of L. H. Bailey and g. r..
Martin were substituted by
Judge Spooner.
Mr.. Bailey constituted himself
the head and front Of the OPPOSE
ton to action and in pursuance
of his policy he endeavored to
secure the election of himself as
chairman of the commission.
So few votes could be secured
however that when the commits
sion met no attempt was made to
carry out this plan. The insur-
gents however succeeded in mani
pulating the committee appoint
ments so as to make work in the
face Of their active opposition diff
fcult. Consequently although
the commission has been organ
lied about a month practically
nothing has been done.
The Inactivity of the commits
sion has caused the people of Be
midi to be come exceedingly
FESTIVE, and Mr.. Bailey and
his friends, who some weeks age
swore that nothing should be &C.
complished have been forced to
realize the city will stand for nc
more such opposition to it's best
interests.
How completely the opposition
has been routed is evidenced by
4he fact that at the meeting Of
the commission yesterday Mr..
Bailey himself made the motion
to appoint Messrs. McKusicA
and Gibbons attorneys for the
commission.
The city is now practically as
sured an organization under the
desired form. Every effort vii
be made to expedite matters
hFoccnc MoKnciolx ap6 9Th
bons will immediately commence
the work of drafting the charter,
and each feature will be sub
mitted to the appropriate com
mittee, while the whole will be
brought before the people il
such time as will allow for ample
discussion and thorough examin
alton.

An Agreement Could Not Be
Reached Regarding Diyi-
sion of Indebtedness.
LAW BEARING ON THE MATTER
VAGUE AND INDEFINITE.
Supreme Court Will Probably Fix
Division of Indebtedness of Bel.

Owing to the fact that the
state law applying to the appor-
tioning on an equal basis of the
bonded and other Indebtedness
in case of county division, is
vague and in many respects in
definite it is probable that the
questions. at issue between Bel
trami and Clearwater counties at
present regarding the proper
tomato share of the bonded and
and other indebtedness standing
against Beltrami county previous
to county division, which each
shall justly assume at present,
will not be settled until the SUI

in the matter.

THE McCUE MURDER TRIAL.
Illness of Attorney Delays Procedure
jury Secured

A dispatch from Charlottesville Va, last
night says: An indefinite delay in the trial
of former Mayor j. Samuel McCue charged
with wife murder, is the latest development
in the celebrated case. The illness of Mr.
Daniel Harmon, chief counsel for the de-
that even should he survive it is said he
will not be physically able to enter into the
trial within a month. AS Mr.. Harmon has
studied the case carefully and is said to be
the only one of the attorneys for the de-
Tense who is thoroughly familiar with the
evidence his associates are unwilling to
enter into the trial without him. The at
torneys for the commonwealth and the law
yers for the defense will hold consulta-
ton tomorrow morning and will probably
reach some decision, which will be an
nounced to Judge Morris in court at 10
O clock tomorrow.
This latest delay in the McCue case is
as the court succeeded today after a week s
work and at a cost to the state of S25UU

Senator Hill Back From the West.

Ex-senator David B. Hill, who. has just
returned from a speaking tour in Maryland.
through West Virginia and Indiana and a
part of Ohio, was asked at the Hoffman
House yesterday how he viewed the polit-
zeal conditions in these states. He said:
II found the democracy in all the states
alert and energetic in behalf of the cause.
A peculiar situation exists in West Virginia.
The republicans have .ne legislature and
the governor, and yet they have refused to
pass registration law whereby an honest
election can be better secured. Three years
ago public opinion forced the enactment of
a constitutional amendment which peremp-
torily required the legislature to pass a
registration law. That duty has not yet
been performed. The republicans ignored
the constitutional requirement Today
their only hope of carrying West Virginia
is by a fraudulent election whereby thou
sands of Illegal votes in the counties bor-
dering upon Kentucky and Virginia will be
counted. Under the laws of New York
state 1 was obliged to cut my trip short in
order to return to Albany to register more
than two weeks before election.
From West Virginia i went to Indiana.
The democrats were working like beavers
everywhere in that state. Mr.. Bryan was
there making very excellent speeches for
the cause-temperate. conservative and eff
fectiye.'

A dispatch from Baltimore last night
says: Mrs William P. Tonry the only

Mrs. Tonry was born sixty-eight years

Later she married and moved to Baltimore.
She had been an invalid for several years.
The remains will be taken to Washington

she might have saved by her heroic efforts
at lntercesslon with President johnson but
for the order of Secretary Stanton to allow
no one to see the man who alone could
grant her the pardon she sought. 1t was
not generally known, until now disclosed by
the death of her daughter, that Mrs. Sur

was stopped for twenty minutes, with the
cast of the play unable to proceed or leave
the stage.

Roosevelt LAWYERS, Club.

A dispatch from New York says: The
Lawyers Roosevelt and Fairbanks Club
of this city has been organized only a week
but in that time it has been joined by nine
teen hundred members. The Parker Con-
stitution Club. which has been at work for
nearly two months. admits that its MEM
bership is less than fifteen hundred. Since
it began it's existence the Parker Club has
been endeavoring to create the impression
that the majority of the lawyers in this city
are in favor of the election of Judge Parker.
How much foundation there is for this is
shown by the fact that couple of days
ago the Lawyers Roosevelt and Fairbanks
Club sent out inquiries to its members ask
ing If they would volunteer their services
to the republican club between now and
election day. In less than twenty-four
hours three hundred favorable responses
were received.

deserves public confidence
is inviting public attention
to it-otherwise advertis-

are giving the stock interests the
greatest concern. This second class
has to be controlled in one of two
ways, first by quarantine, second, by
destruction. -
In the class of plaques which affect
only one species of animals, we make
the division according to the fatalities
resulting. For instance: In contag-
ious karatitis in cattle, and influenza
in horses, we quarantine only for a
few days until the animal has recov-
cred, while in pleuro pneumonia as
an example, destruction is carried out
because of it's very high death rate.
Relative to the second class, hog
cholera and swine plague, their con-
troll will depend on the location. In
the east where they are very preva-
lent. quarantine is useful, while in the
west as in this state where farms
are larger, there Is a greater possibility
of decreasing the total loss by the
immediate destruction of a diseased
animal than there is in quarantine.
In the third class we must consider
those diseases that are fatal even to
man. Chambers, anthrax, tuberculosis,
are SOOu CAdluplCo, duu yet uOiO W .
may again differentiate. Chambers is
fatal; treatment is practically fail
ure. Anthrax and tuberculosis are
less so and there are number of
recoveries recorded.
In the first, CHAMBERS, destruction is
imperative, while in the second, quar-
antine may be substituted, depending
on the physical condition of the ami
NAL.
In contagious pustular stomatitis,
which affects the horse, the fatality
is very low, it may affect man, but
the course of the disease is of short
duration; here quarantine for a few
days is sufficient.
Quarantine may be local. municipal
or national.
The length of quarantine depends
on the latency of disease and the
length of virility of the germ which
causes the disease.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-01-15

demic is to be handled with satisfac-
tory results.
If we are to minimize the losses
from the plaques it can only be accom-
plished in two ways: l. We must
cause such a condition to exist IN
an animal that. it cannot take dis
ease. q We must keep every animal,
affected with a disease which may be-
come epidemic, so that it is 1mpossl-
BILE for it to carry such disease to
any other animal. There may be
combination of these two ways.
The change that has taken place
in an animals body SO that disease
cannot develop in it is called immuni-
ty, and may be caused by vacclna-
ton. This is to certain extent IA
miliar to you in the case OF small
pox in man.
Immunity to any one disease may
be the result of lighter attack OF
the same disease or it may be from
a different one.
Referring again to asmallpox in man,
immunity is due to- another disease
having been established in the body.
In blackleg in calves, it is the same
disease, Ill l1SnlSl VI 1903 fAhhiSSiA'
form which causes immunity.
Immunity is, at the present. time,
quite satisfactory in it's results in GER
tain diseases, for instance in black
leg and anthrax. 1t is as yet not quite
to be depended upon in influenza and
dog distemper, however, as we are in
creasing our knowledge of the life
history of the specific micro-organ-
isms causing the various diseases, we
are also gradually adding to the num-
Der of diseases against which immuni-
cation becomes possible. 1t is hardly
necessary for me to say that this
condition of combating animal plaques
is the ideal one.
Since, however, there are yet large
number of contagious diseases of the
second class in which immunity is
still in the future, we must deal with
these in an entirely different manner
and it is these diseases which now
