A HOSPITAL MATTER.
Something Of Interest TO the Pub

EDITOR SENTINEL Again the question
Of employing medical attention for the
Hospital is being agitated, and creates
not only considerable feeling among the
physicians, but discussion in all classes of
the community, and l beg space to place a
few ideas ON the subject before the people.
Nothing should be considered with more
care than the proper provision for the I'M
fortunate poor who are a charge upon the
County Treasury, always keeping in view
the comfort and welfare of the patients and
not losing sight of the county's interests.
1t has been considered for a long time that
$50 per month was enough to pay q physi-
clan for attention, time. skill and also al
medicines necessary. Let us consider.
The inmates of our Hospital average
from Is to 20 persons, of all classes, ages,
and with different ailments. Our Hospi-
tai is quite q distance from town. A doc
tor, to attend properly to his business in
attending these patients, must have a
horse he must furnish all drugs, medi-
cines and stimulants, besides devoting a
great deal of time and attention to his en-
ployment. Now, will $3.50 per month pay
a first-class physician to do this2 In
many cases fine drinks and costly doses
are absolutely necessary for the we'll being
of the patient. At such a salary the doc
tor cannot, in justice to himself, furnish
such, and it might happen that a poorer
quality of the one and a less expensive
character Of the other would be used
and ever then a doctor who does
mt taGa fha p1oaa n 1afaof urr,a
rival will necessarily lose money by it.
The county makes nothing by a course Of
cheap work, for many chronic cases might,
If furnished with the more costly neces-
sites of sickness, soon be discharged
cured, or sufficiently improved to help
themselves whereas, if they are not SO
treated they remain a charge upon the
county from month to month, with life in
them, though scarcely a hope in either
themselves OF their physician of absolute
recovery.
Storey county pays $500 per month to
the doctor, and 500 per month for a clerk,
and / understand, feeds the doctors horse.
Storey's actual expenditures last year we're:
Physician, So, 600 /; clerk, 81 200 hospital
expenses, 81, 700; INDECENT sick, SIS, 900.
/ ask that our Commissioners, if they
must economize, will do SO in some other
way than by securing cheap men, food,
medicine or anything else for the sick who,
though now poor, have all perhaps in the
past been heavy taxpayers and leading
members Of our charitable societies and
enterprises; and nearly all Of whom con
tract the very ills they now suffer in open
ing up this country as pioneer prospeetors,
hat we might come and find a home. And
let us all remember that the wheel Of the
tickle dame may SO turn that we may
some day be like those for whom / now
speak a public care.
Let us employ the best known physician
we can secure, and pay him sufficient sal
airy to justify his best services and aid.
No one will complain of such action, I'M
less they have an old-fashioned broad-ax
to grind. JUSTICE.

Their First sleigh Ride.

Half a dozen young ladies from Cali
fornia were in this city yesterday, says the
Virginia Enterprise Of the 29th ult., and
took the first sleigh ride of their lives.
They came over here to see it snow. They
stopped in Carson for two or three days,
hoping to have their curiosity gratifed.
but owing to the proximity Of q wicked
Legislature it wouldn't snow. They came
up here day before yesterday-3,000 feet
nearer Heaven-when they got q hearing,
and their prayers were at once answered.
They were treated to a jolly good snow
storm, and had as fine q sleigh ride as
could be furnished at the North Pole, at
such short notice. The merry jingle OF
the bells Of their four-in-hand, and the
silveFy peals Of laughter that rolled over
the dashboard and mingled with the jingle,
we shall say nothing about, as they are in
the hands Of . Comstock poet who is
wrestling with all that business.

EDITOR SENTINEL. At Is minutes past
7 o'clock p. M. the whistle Of the Tybo

cry of fire passed up Main street which
was Immediately followed by q rush of men
to the mill at the lower end of Tybo. On
reaching there / found a pile of wood,
about 200 cords, all cedar, in a blaze. the
wood being on the northwest corner, and
in the rear of the mill, separated from it
by a wagon road and a horse-car track,
about Is feet wide. From this time on
until Q o'clock we fought the fire, trying
to confine it to the ~woodpile, but the heat
being SO great it was impossible, and The

these buildings stood on the railroad track.
1t looked very blue then for saving the
mill, but thanks to the order that reigned.
and the willingness Of the $50 or 200 mel
that we're on the spot, the sheds were cut
and pulled down and dragged away, thus
depriving the fire of its food, and thus
widening the distance between the fire and
the mill at once. A large number of
