GOOD MOVE.
DIR. E. F. Yancey, assistant surgeon at
Ssdalia hospital, who was recently appoint
ed sanitary inspec or, left last night for
DeDison, Texas, with orders to proceed at
once to make a careful and thorough in
spection OF all hospitals, depots, offices,
section houses and other buildings OF the
railroad company and have them placed
in ihe most complete sanitary condition
possible. The doctor will first make tour
of the principle cities along the kues, aud
after ting through with them will pro-
coed to take in the smaller PLACES and de-
tsched buildings in isolated places. This
is an excellent move on the part of the rail-
road company and one which every town
should cooperate in and initiate, as by so
doing they may prevent the appearance or
spread of the cholera or any other epidemic
this summer.

put out his hand to spring away, but
placed it on the rail in front of the wheels
and as consequence lost pair OF fingers.
He saws nobody was to blame but himself,
but the company physician cared for his
wounds all the same
