SMALL STAMPEDE
Curiosity Aroused by Quitting of Party for Trail-Rumors of
 a Possible Strike

When 8 coterie of men starts out on the trail these days, equipped for business, and making no confdants as to destination or purpose, there is liable to be conjecture as to cause Rumors of strikes in new dis tricts and the possibility of new bonanzas are liable to be started, and general air of suppressed excitement pervades the at mosphere
 Such was the case on Thursday morning last when Frank Dawson, Angus Mcclellan and Lars Olson started out over the trail with dog teams and plentiful outfit All sorts of rumors were put in circulation as to the destination of the party, and it be- came understood that they were bound for Horsefy creek, on the lower Iditarod. No details were learned as to the object of the expedition other than that Mcclellan had recently returned from there, and that two men had been prospecting for some time on that creek with boiler
 There seems to be general impression thst Horsehy creek was named to throw off pursuit by others It is said that that creek received a thorough going over in the fall of 1909, when steamboat loaded with stam- peders for Iditarod was frozen in near that place. While waiting for snow to continue their journey the stampeders put in their time sinking holes Nothing of any value was known to have been uncovered
 There appears to be an impression preva- lent that the suspected find has been made on the Dltna, where at least eight men have been working during the past summer. The information on which the furry started has been closely guarded; nevertheless several parties seem to have been let in on it. On Friday morning several more teams started from Iditarod, among those leaving being c. R. Cameron, of the firm of Cameron & Finnegan, Flat City; Danny Callahan, Chris Hansen and man known as Charley, cook. Other parties are said to have left also, some of them being especially desirous of keeping the fact of their departure secret.
 J. C. Jenkins and Jim Johnson are also making preparations to leave taking with them a pack horse It is believed that Jenkins is desirous of being on the ground early so as to establish Democratic head lquarters there.

which prevailed all day yesterday.
From long experience in his profess
sion Prof. Schultz appears in public
with easy grace and he possesses the
faculty of imparting the same accom-
plishment to his pupils. The program
comprised twelve numbers and Prof.

audience TO their complete satisfac-
ton.
The recital opened with piano duo
by Misses Helen Lowe and Esther

Medical Examiners Had No Right tf
Require Fee Of Itinerant
Physician.

Pierre, Feb. 18.-That the board
of medical examiners exceeded their
powers in making a contract to take
a $500 license fee from an itinerant
physician upon condition that IL the
supreme court held the law under
which 1t was paid unconstitutional
they would return 1t to him, is the
opinion OF the supreme court In sus-
tanning the demurrer In the case OF
John Longstaff VS.. State Of South Da-
kota, which in original action seeks
to this sum to n John E.
Doran. Doran travelled over South
Dakota practicing medicine without
paying this license fee as required by
chapter 176, laws of 1908. The
board OF medical examiners pursued
him with urgings to pay the license
fee as required by law. He finally
did pay the sum to the board, upon
the above agreement. The supreme
court finally did pass upon the law.
and did hold the payment of such IL
cense fee for itinerant physicians was
unconstitutional. Doran q not re-
cover his money. however. even

according to department experts, who
claim birds should be given more

A regular meeting of the directors
of the Commercial club was held last
evening at which routine business
was transacted after which new en-

discussion occupied considerable time
of the directors after which the SUBJ
ject of securing a greenhouse for
Madison was taken UP. 1t has for a
long time been evident to the club
that a greenhouse would be a profit
able business proposition in Madison
and would undoubtedly be taken ad-
vantage of if the opening was known
to business men engaged in that line.
The directors finally voted to adver-
tise for a greenhouse man to locate
in the city. Another matter which
was favorably discussed was a pub
licity pamphlet to be issued by the
club, showing the resources and adj
vantages of Madison and Lake coun-
ty. This has been under considera-
ton for some time and it is likely
the plan will materialize during the
spring.
