DECISION OF UNITED STATES su-
PREME COURT.
Declares Unconstitutional Statute Un.
der Which Cattle Quarantine
Order Was Issued.

WASHINGTON. Dee. 17.-In decid-
ing the cases of the Illinois Central
Railroad VS.. r. G. Edwards and J, u.
McKendree. of Kentucky, the Su-
preme Court of the United States held
to be Unconstitutional the Agricultur-
al Departments quarantine order be-
cause the line as dxed by It was
made applicable to the State as well
as the interstate movement of cattle.
The courts opinion was announced by
Justice Day and reversed the finding
Of the CircuitCourt of Carlisle County,
KY, from which the case was appeal
ed.
The case grew out of a claim for
damages made by Edwards and Nc
Kendree against the railroad company
on account of the contraction of Tex
as fever by cattle owned by them
through contact with cattle brought
into Carlisle County by the railroad
companS. The suit was instituted I'M
der the act of Congress of 1908 auth
orizing National quarantine to pre-
vent the spread of infectious diseases
among live stock The Carlisle Coun-
ty court awarded damages and the
railroad company appealed the cases,
claiming the law to be unconstitution-
al in that 1t delegated too much pow
er 10 the Secretary Of Agriculture IN
allowing him to fix lines.
The case was originally heard dur,
ing the last term, submitted to the
court on printed briefs and did not
ut first appear to be anything more
than an effort to secure small dam
ages. but when the court discovered
the attack on the constitutionality of
a National statute 1t ordered a re-
hearing with an oral argument in the
case and called the attention OF the
Attorney General to the matter. The
result was decision distinctly hold
ing to be invalid the act of the Sec
rotary because of its interference with
interstate commerce. The finding APP
piled only to the one feature, but the
court held that the order could not be
divided and therefore decided the en-
tire act unconstitutional. The effect
was to compel a reversal of the YER
dict of the court below in the cases at
bar, notwithstanding they were based
on interstate shipments.
The opinion of Justice Day quoted
Secretary Wilson's order No. LOT, of
March 13, 1908, making a quarantine
line and accepting the line in Tennes.
see fixed by that State. This order
would. he said. apply to all cattle
transported from the South Of the
line to all parts of the United States

proceeded, include cattle transport
ed within the line as well as those
from outside that State; there Is NO
exception in the order, and In terms
II includes all cattle transported from
the south of the line whether within
or without the State Of Tennessee
We think that this order of the Sec

gent regulation with highly penal con-

Fatal Boiler Explosion.

Mcager news reached this city
last evening of boiler explosion in
Joseph Kent's sawmill, located on
Elk. creek, about midway between
Ncvin's ranch and Smiths prairie,
which caused the death of the
sawyer, j. Keltner, and very ser
ious and perhaps fatal injuries
to another workman, Henry Cof-
fee. The news was telcphoned in
to Forest Supervisor Fem by one
of his forest rangers, who was on
duty in the Sawtooth reserve, in
which the mill is located. The
forest ranger was able to give but
scant details. He said that Kelt-
ner was killed instantly and that
his body was horribly mangled.
Coffee, he said, was seriously IN
jured, perhaps fatally, but just what
hopes were had of his recovery
could not be stated. He said Coffee
would be brought to Boise as fast
as possible for treatment. At late
hour last night telephone message
was received at ST. Alphonsus
hospital to the effect that friends
were on their way to Boise with
the injured man and that they ex-
pected to arrive in the city short
ly after daylight. Preparations
have been made at the hospital to
receive him and a physician and
surgeon will be on hand to give his
case immediate attention. Boise

MORMON CHURCH HAS
PASSED ITS ZENITH

Good saints in Utah, do you know
that your church has recalled it's
zenith and is now falling into a
decline? Thirteen years after the
church was organized it numbered
143, 900 communicates. See Mil
lennial Star. The latest estimate
is 800, 900, or, as Brigham Roberts
states it, ''about 500, 900" You
are good mathematicians. Now
give us an answer to this problem:
IF the church from nothing gath
cred to it 143, 600 in thirteen years,
what should it number in sixty
years."
1t would be about 1000, 600 by
natural increase, would il not, or
by such an increase as the United
States has made during the same
time, about sOO,O 900.
Now, there are not 800, 600 Saints
today. That includes all that have
been baptized and have not been
apostatized or died. You know
that in every hamlet in Utah are
some scores of people whose parents
were Mormons who no longer at
tend church or Sunday school or
pay tithing. You know that the
5000 missionaries, scattered all
over the world, do not average two
conversions each a year.
Do you not see that your church
has passed the zenith and is on the
decline? And can you not see that
