oughly deserted that it could be destroyed by fire without any one know ing it for two days, seems rather queer in these prosperous days of easy communication, but that is what happened to Montana City, Mont., which was once an enterprising placer camp of 4,000 people.

Probert, the Bourbon banker, of unsavory reputation, is now engaged in selling medical certificates at Chicago. He pretends to be a member of the staff of the Christian hospital of that city, which sells certificates of membership to all who will pay $15, $22 or $25, the price depending on the kind of certificate desired. He has the degrees of M. D., D. D. S. Ph. D. and L. L. D. attached to his name. Facsimile of certificates can be seen at this office. The institution also sells a lapel button for $5.

The inspector shall appointjtwo clerks, who, with the inspector shall form the election board, 'and none but legal and qualified voters In the district will be allowed to vote therein. "This ast of the general assembly prevents a'i voters in an incorporated town or city to vote for a supervisor In a rural read district. Said election beard are to serve without pay."
