Shakers of All Creeds and Kind,

Are to be found in every locality visited by
chills and fever. The very animals exhibit
in such plague festered regions symptoms of
the dire infection. If experience has proved,
in the domain of medicine, anything con-
clusively, it is that Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers will not only eradicate from the system
every vestige of the rniasmi-born complaint,
but effectually defend residents and tenn
porary soicurners in malaria scourged locali-
ties against it. There is a general concensus
of opinion among medical men. no less than
in, the minds of the public, on this point.
Not only on this continent, but in the tropics
where malarial complaints assume their most
virulent type, this comparable medicinal
safeguard Is universally used and esteemed.
Dyspepsia, billousnesS, constipation, debility
and kidney trouble are all thoroughly RENE.

Sergeant Montgomery.

Harry Montgomery was sworn in
yesterday morning and Immediately
entered upon his duties as sergeant of
police. He has had much experience
as an officer, is courteous gentleman,
cOol-headed and fearless. and it can
safely be predicted he will make a
capable and efficient officer. He was
not an applicant for the place and he
was selected alone upon his merits
and well known ability.

THE sOUTHsIDE RAILROAD.
The Proposed Route Of the New Dummy
Line.

The Southside railroad enterprise
brought up last Monday night at the
city hall during the session of the city
council by Alderman Morris, mention
of which was duly made in THE
STATESMAN Tuesday, has set the
Southsiders all agog. The ordinance
at the next meeting of the city coun-
Gil will doubtless pass, and it is
understood that Southsiders will
make liberal donations to secure an
early construction of the road, which,
it is contemplated, will run through
the BOuldin addition, south to Major
Brackenridge's, thence east TO st. Ed
wards college, thence north en- the

Very Healthy Feed Bills for
Sick Folks Hospital.

For several months, indeed for over
a year, the city hospital has come in
for some very unfavorable comments.
Bills have been rather high, and the
character Of goods purchased has
more than once attracted the attention
ofthe authorities, and for some time it
has been the opinion of many that the
expenses of the institution are too
great, when the number of patients
treated is considered.

THAT NEW oIhcE1'
The city council a few days ago
agreed to open street from the Fred
ericksburg road to Mary street, on
Bouldin creek, if right of way was
decided the city free of charge. The
counc Gil did this upon representations
made that at this time no bridges
would be needed and that the work of
grading and preparing the thorough
fore could be done in about ten dayk
The city engineer and Street Commis
sioner Creary went over and
ran out the line as in
Dictated by the deed of gift
and to their establishment it carried
them across big fill in the Inter-
national railroad and over several big
ravines, which, it is asserted, will re-
ouire several thousand dollars worth
of bridges and no end of work. They
reported the fact to the city authori-
ties and yesterday his honor the
mayor and the street committee, con-
ssting of Messrs. Hume, Jackson and
Nitschke, went over to investigate.
They returned to the city about
noon fully convinced that it is abso-
lutely impracticable at this time to
open the street on the line as laid
down, and the work will not be done.
1t is suggested, however, that if a
change is made so as to miss the
ravines and the high railroad en-
bankment the city will proceed to
open the street.
The change should be made. In the
meantime attention is respectfully
and enthusiastically called to the con-
dition of the bouldin bridge on the
Avenue south of the river bridge. :
THE ENCAMPMENT GROUNDS.
The work of grubbing and clearing
off the encampment grounds was
completed some time ago. Gen. Rob-
erts and Mr.. Henry Shelley, who are
taking much active interest in the
matter, have selected point on the
ravine which runs through the
grounds at which a dam will be built.
The object of this dam is to create o.,
lake for bathing purposes, and i~'
asserted fine pool Of water WIZ +,
provided. Bids for doing the WI
will be asked for in few days.
1t is the desire of the gentlemen
named to have work commenced on
the buildings as early as possible, and\
all who subscribed to the fund should
make it point to hand in their sub
scriptions. The time is short now,
and it is imperative that the build.
ings be erected before the month of
May, at which time it is proposed to
hold the encampment.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
Last afternoon about 5 o'clock
while w0rkmen were engaged in
tearing down the front wall of the
building adjoining the First National
bank, the awning came down with a
terrific crash.
Mr., f. w. Bickenhoss and r. Fl.
Beard, students at the Texas Business
college, We're passing along under the
awning at the time, and before they
could escape were caught by some Of
the falling timbers. Mr.. Brickenboss
had one of his legs very seriously in
jured and he made q marrow escape
from being crushed to death. Mr..
Beard was slightly injured. DR.. Da-
Wis was called to attend Mr.. Bricken-
boss and last night he was resting

The Railroad Commission.
Yesterday morning complaint was
made to the commissioners by w. p.
Hartwick through his attorney J. n.
Browning, alleging certain irregular
tiles against the Southern Kansas
railway in the matter of freight
charges. MIR. Hartwick is a large
wholesale coal dealer with headquar-
tiers at Panhandle. He brings good
deal of the coal he handles from Col
orado and other mines outside of the
state. This coal is hauled by the
Southern Kansas railway and it is in
regard to its distribution over the
state that the objection is
made. Mr.. Hartwick claims that
on two specified shipments of coal
from Panhandle, in carload lots, des
tined for points within the state, the
road charged for hauling this coal q
much greater rate than that fixed by
the commission, and it is to recover
this money and have the matter def
nitely settled that the suit has been
brought against the railroad, and the
attention of the commissioners called
to it.
The railroad, it is understood
claims the right to charge the rate
they did on the ground that the Goa
made continuous haul from a point
without the state, and that the
commission rates did not apply, but
as MIR. Hartwick makes Panhandle
his distributing point the railways
claim will hardly hold good. The
true secret of the high charges is he
lieved to be in the fact that a GOA
mine is located on their line in Colo
RADIO, and to force this coal on the
people of Texas, they endeavor, by
raising the state freight charges, t.
shut Mr.. Hartwick out Of the market

from Inc above IL VIII be seen that
during the three months Alp pounds
of bran were purchased, or over 1900
pounds month. 70 the above bills
must also be added $500 pounds of hay
bought from Mr.. II. NJ. johnson OctO-
Der 18th, for which he was paid 500 20.
TO sum up, the quantity of hay and
bran purchased during the past three
months was 4l12 pounds of bran and
1885 pounds Of hay.
These figures are very large and are
liable to lead the unsophisticated citi-
zen to believe that the city is running
first-c class dairy and stock farm.
They will bear investigation. The
quantity of Iran and hay may have
been required. The bran may have
been used in making poultices and
the hay in stutling pads
and pillows to bolster up broken
limbs and prop strained backs.
THE MEAT BILL.
1t is asserted by some, and official
reports appear to back the assertion,
that the average daily attendance at
the hospital, including all employees,
during the year has not exceeded
fifteen persons. If this is correct then
the fresh meat bill appears to be I'M
necessarily large The figures show
that the beef, mutton and pork bills
have averaged overSl Is II day during
the year, and this represents a daily
consumption by lift en- people, eleven
of whom are sick, of about 10 to II
pounds Of fresh meet daily. This meat
bill does not represent ham, bacon
and chickens.
Whatever may be said about the
hospital sick, it is painfully evident
they have had voracious appetites for
meat.
There are some curious items in the
grocery bills, such as mince meat,
raiSins, mixed candies, etc, which
fOrcibly strike one as being remark
able articles of diet for invalids.
The ice bill, too, for the year ap-
pears to be very high, the average
consumption of ice per month being
over 1900 pounds.
In short, it is painfully apparent
that this whole hospital matter needs
overhauling. Under existing rules
the physicians in charge have had. it
seems, nothing to do with the pur-
chase of supplies outside of drugs and
medicines. 1t has been the duty of
course of the city physician to ap-
prove all bills, and he has done So
Who has purchased other supplies the
records do not show. Neither has
there been any report of money re-
ceived during the year from pay pa
TENTS. The printers in THE STATES
MAN Office kept one of their sick
brothers there for five or six weeks,
and they paid Sl0.50 per week. Other
pay patients have been treated in the
hospital. What have been the re-
ceipts from this source? What be-
came of the money?
From all of the above it will doubt
less strike the average citizen that
there is plenty of room in which to in
augurate reform in the hospital man.
