MIRACLE Run, August {. -The w. J..
Wilson, Democratic Club, of Battelle dis.
trict, is no doubt one of the best in the
country. Its membership IS rapidly in
creasing and now numbers $50.
The meeting Saturday, August 8, at
Cross Roads was feast OF good things
for the club. A large crowd being pres
ent the meeting was called to order bv
the chairman. ID. L. Tenant, after which
the business OF the club was dispensed
with. The chairman then in speech Of
nearly half hour in pleasant and con-
vincing way showed that the republican
party was responsible for all the wrongs
complained OF by the masses OF the peo-
pie. His speech was listened 10 with
careful attention.
Joseph Esthel followed and for an hour
and half held the crowd OF listeners
and treated them to one OF the most
plain and practical of tariff lessons. His
telling blows at protection spiced with
wit and humor brought forth round after
round OF applause. ID. II. Hanght fol-
lowed in a short but very appropriate
speech and showed the fallacy of the po-
sition and the hypocrisy of the republic
can party.
The following resolutions were read
by Mr.. A. J. Corrothers, and were unan-
imously adopted. The club adjourned
to meet at Wadestown, Saturday. Sept.
Sd, at | O'Clock p. NJ. All are invited to
attend. ID. l.. TENANT, chm.

Shot Himself.

While the members of one of the
fishing clubs from Pittsburg en-
camped below town were packing
their things preparatory to breaking
camp one of their number, Albert
Hibbs, took his gun and went over
the river bank to shoot fish. He had
shot once and started to go back up
the bank with his shot gun in his
hand when the hammer struck a
rock and discharged the gun. He
received the whole load, and the gun
was heavily charged, too, in the side
of his face. 1t is CHASTITY wound
but not fatal one. The young mans
brother brought him up on the boat,
which came along few minutes af-
ter the accident, and DR.. Fitch dress
ed his wound. The injured man
with some difficulty walked from the
wharf to the doctors office.

PRICE, Sl.OO PER ANNUM
ChIoroform and Ether.

We believe that St Bartholemew's
hospital is the only one in the metropo-
lis in whicha record is kept and statis-
ties published of the number of times
anasthetics are administered during the
year These statistics are both inter
esting and instructive, and become valu-
able is showing the current in favor of
or against particular anasthetic
agent
Turning, for example, to the records
of 1879. we find that out of 1904 an
rSthetizations chloroform was given
J15 times, nitrous oxide gas alone 112
times, ether alone 23 times and ether
preceded by nitrous oxide 9S3 times
In 1889, however, the records are as
follows: In 3.G06 administration
:hloroform / l.60l times, gas Csc, ether
$40, gas and ether 500 times. Thus on
comparing these figures the remarkable
fact becomes apparent that chloroforrn
las again come To the front rs the most
popular an;esthetic ut St Bartholo-
news hospital.
Not only does the mixture of ether
and gas not maintain its position Of
superiority, as was the case in the year
1879. but in 1889 not even the total ad-
ministrations of ether alone, and gas
and ether combined, reached by long
way the number of administrations of
chloroforIn. 1t is just possible that in
part this change of opinion may be
due to the results published by the Hy-
derabad commission. of which MEM
ber of the staff of the hospital was the
shining light.
But investigations show that ether
has been declining in favor for some
years ut ST. Bartholomew's. In 1883 it
was administered 1,003 times out of
), 7SS, while, during the same year, gas
and ether combined was only given 3I9
times. What Il contrast with this eleven
years ago. as the records above quoted
demonstrate, As we see now, chloro-
form takes the lead. then long way
behind comes ether alone, while gas
and ether combined makes shockingly
bad third. Medical Press.
