Enlarging the Hospital

The Marion County Surgical
Hospital has so much business in
prospect that the board of direct
ors have rented from Mr.. Porter
the balance of the third floor of
the Witness building, which will
be prepared for use at once. It
will be remembered that Mr.. Por-
ter gave the hospital rent free
for the rear of the hall now in
use.
The hospital has become a fea-
ture of the county and it's use
and advantages are receiving
wide recognition by our people.
There are two patients now IN
the wards: Mrs. Tucker, who is
cOnvalescing from a serious oper-
alton and will be out IN a few
days, and Mr.. Bagnall, who is
suffering from broken leg, and
who would undoubtedly have lost
the limb but for the superior
treatment that our physicians
were enabled to give him in the
hospital.
One of the latest donations to
the hospital was a tripod, to be
used IN swinging a broken leg,
which was made and donated by
George MacKay.

THE GREAT WEST
A Brief Record Of the Editors Trip
Through Colorado, Nebraska and
the Adjacent States

During our month 5 absence in
Colorado and Nebraska, our time
was so fully occupied in seeing
the country and noting it's indus
tries that it left little opportunity
for writing down our impressions
as we hurried over the country,
admiring the grand scenic beauty
Of Colorado, or were impressed
with the activity and success that
attended the labors of the miners
and ranchmen of the Centennial
state, or wondered at the mar
velous growth and fertility of the
Missouri valley, as exhibited in
it's products at the Omaha Ex-
position.
But now that we are again at
our desk it will be pleasure as
we'll as privilege to note down
certain things encountered on our
trip that we trust may possess a
passing interest to our readers,
which shall be rendered on the in
stallment plan.
NOTES
Whatever may be the condi-
tions that now make the sections
we visited SO full of life, activity
and prosperity, and, by contrast,
make Florida seem SO quiet, we
ore glad of our opportunity to
have breathed q different atmOS-
phere, witnessed fresh scenes and
new activities, but, with 1T all,
not sorry to get back to our
Southern home, fully satisfied
that however trying times have
been for several years, and are
yet, produced by local causes,
that Ocala, viewed from various
standpoints, is town every
Ocalan should be proud of and
will compare favorably with
towns of similar population the
country over.
Before detailing our trip West,
a few thoughts in returning from
Omaha:
1t has been many a long year
since the people of Western Iowa
have carried over SO many bush
els of old corn. There are miles
of corn Cribs along the railroads
at different points IN the state,
containing millions Of bushels,
held, not by the speculaUor, hut
by the farmer, for higher prices.
When asked why they did not
sell their crop in 1897, when
i prices, in sympathy with wheat,
, reached the highest point, they
remarked that the crop was very
short this year, owing to the
Sirocco winds that prevailed
during the last ten days in Au-
. gust, which fairly burnt up the
, crop. Whether the hopes Of the
, farmers, for big prices for their
r corn crop, to be paid in 1898,
are to be fulfilled or not, is
problematical, am time alone
will demonstrate the correctness
of their predictions.
That times in the West, among
the agricultural classes, have
y greatly improved during the past
two years is very evident and ter
minutes talk with a tiller OF tht
soil quickly demonstrates thi,
fact.
1t seems strange that farm:

DIED OF GRIEF,
The Horse Could Not Stand the Panxs
of Separation.

Speaking of the emotional life of a
horse, said an old trainer, who had been
listening to story about an animals death
that was directly traced to grief. 81 recall
one remarkable instance Of sorrow shown
by horse belonging to a circus with
which 1 was travelling three years ago We
were performing in the little town of
Unionville, Pa, when one of the trick
horses fell and sprained one of his legs so
badly that he could not travel. He was
taken to a livery stable and put in box
stall, the leg was bandaged and he was
made as comfortable as possible
He ate his food and was apparently
contented until about midnight, when the
circus began moving out of town. Then
ne became restless and tramped and whn-
MED. AS the caravans moved past the sta BILE
he seemed to realize that he was being
deserted, and his anxiety and distress be-
came pitiful. He would stand with his ears
pricked in an attitude of intense listening
and then as his ears caught the sounds of
the retiring wagons he would rush as best
he could with his injured leg from one side
or the stall to the other, pushing at the
door with his nose and making every eff
fort to escape. The stableman who was a
stranger to him. tried to soothe him but
TO no purpose. He would not be comforted
Long after all sounds of the circus had
ceased his agitation continued. The sweat
poured from him, and he quivered in every
part of the body. Finally the stableman
went to his employers house, woke him up
and told him he believed the horse would
die II some OF the circus horses were not
brought back to keep him comDany At
about daylight the proprietor of the stable
mounted horse and rode after the circus
He overlook us ten or twelve miles away.
and, as L had charge of all the horses and
was much attached to the injured animal
l returned with him. When we reached
the stall the horse was dead
The stableman said that he remained
Tor nearly an hour perfectly still and with
every sense apparently strained to the ut
most tension, and then, without making
a sign, fell and died with scarcely a strug-
gle. The veterinarian who was called re-
marked, after the circumst tances were told
him, that unquestionably the horse died
from grief"

was working with speed which showed
that he realized an eager public was wait

and every now and then he drew back and
contemplated his work with the pride of

countenance and the boy anticipated the
