Two Counties Cannot Agree.
LFrom the Tucson CltIzen.l

From the Tucson Citizen.l
 The two boards of supervisors of Pi- ma aud Santa Cruz counties met in joint session at Tucson recently to en- deavor to arrange under the law the division of the debts, property, etc., of old Pima county, part of which should be rightfully apportioned to Santa Cruz. It seems that the two bodies were in perfect harmony upon everything but one point-and that is the value of the court house and grounds at Tucson. Pima county wishes to value the entire property at only $23, ,000, and allow Santa Cruz it's proportionate share in that amount. Santa Cruz holds that the property is worth at least $50,0O0. The Nogales Oasis says that the individual mem bers of the Santa Cruz board visited various prominent business men in Tucson and asked their opinions of the value of the property. No one estimated it less than $50,000, and one estimate went as high as $140,0O0. Neither board would yield, so the joint session was adjourned to the first Monday in June, when, if there is no agreement, the matter will be taken to the district court for adjudication.

According to the Los Angeles Ex- press, Senator Clark is about to have great financial battle with certain Wall street moneyed syndicate which is trying to head off his Salt Lake rail- road. It is even hinted that bloodshed may flow over the contest for ce rtain right of-way on the route. The con- testants are the Standard Oil and sev- eral other trusts, equally potent, on the one hand, and the millions of Sena- tor w. A. Clark on the other. The Southern Pacific and Union Pacific are, however, now combined, tl.e two in- terests acting jointly in the effort to thwart a single individual, W. A.

that room; he had been killed instant fly, and a friend had carried away the body. To save the family's name a suicide had been declared; rejected over and over. it was said. the young man had come into the garden and had shot himself. All the evidence and the surrounding circumstances pointed plainly to this theory. The man who discovered him. it was said, had found a note from the suicide upon his table, directing him where to look for his body; but. added Holbin, while the coroner had by skillful selection of a jury from among the familys friends secured a hasty verdict in accordance with the theory of suicide, it was ap- parent that the police were suspicious, and it was said that some of them were quietly searching for the woman who had left the imprints of number two shoes under the window of the wing room. Such was the story.
 Louise believed it implicitly. The horror of her crime deprived her for the time of her mental powers and gcod judgment. She suffered herself to be guided and directed by Holbin. She was consigned to the care of an = elderly negro woman, and readily ac- cepted her room as her prison. It was not long before she was physically powerless to leave it.
 Raymond Holbin's most serious ap- prehension during the day which wit messed the death of John Brookin grew out of the fact that by infer ence at least he had been charged with crime in connection with Louise. His common sense told him that something said by Frances in her last interview with her father had provoked the sud- den accusation. What did Frances know of Louise and who was her in- dormant! Gradually during the day his suspicious nat4re secured ascend- ssancy over his common sense. A se- cfet visit outside the window of the wing g-roo betrayed the still distinct

Fatal Ending, Many Phystcfana Think, h Brought About by Fright Quite as Often as by7the Anaes.
 thetics Themselves.

Two deaths in Chicago in one day from the use of anaesthetics have served to call attention to the risks that come from the sleep of anaes- thesia.
 According to statistics, after mak- ing allowance for the care in de- is fit subject for the drugs, it has been shown that one person in every 5000 will die from the use of chloro- form before operation, while from ether only one in 16,Oo0 will die.
 Reports from the United States are incomplete, but in England in 1899 there were S3 inquests held upon the bodies of persons who had died from anaesthesia, and of these persons 63 died before operation was begun. Dr. James Edmunds, commenting upon these figures for Great Britain, refers to the fact that the disposition to sup press such occurrences might point to 200 deaths annually in Great Britain.
 Comparing the figures of England with those of India, Dr. Arthur Neve says that while the number of deaths in Great Britain constantly grows larger the fatalities in India from anaesthctics is only one in 26,ooo cases.
 Climatic differences arc supposed to account for the difference in these figures. In general a warm climate is more conducive to the successful administration of chloroform than is cold one. Aracsthetics in general are more successfully given in south ern China than ia the northern half of that country.
 In the two fatal cases in Chicago the operations were for growths in the mouth and in the throat. It has been recognized for long time that the administering of chloroform for such operations is always attended with undue danger. Dr. F. W. Hinkel,

CHAPTER VT.

In all the throng that followed to the grave in Hollywood the remains of the wealthy and once distinguished John Brookin there was, aside from family servants, but one sincere mourner. The slender figure of his daughter Frances, supported by the strong arm of Dr. Brodnar, shook with an agony of grief. She had not looked on death since her mother died, and the passing of the saintly woman had been but as sleep pro- longed into eternity. But here was the consciousness of a great wrong; the discovery of an error beyond rem edy; here was the end of tragedy in which she had been made to act a fatal part. Her rightful protector had been stricken from her.
 Courage, my child."-she heard the doctors voice and felt his arm press upon her hand-''courage! Save your strength for the struggle to come. Live now to defeat the enemies of your fa- ther" Her frail figure strengthened and grew steady; she no longer leaned upon his arm.
 Dust to dust. ashes to ashes." The minister's voice rang out the sad and solemn words: the clay dropped and clattered solemnly upon the coffin box.
 The prayer that followed was marked by a dramatic incident. Frances knelt by the open grave with moving lips that uttered no sound. Dr. BroGnar alone understood that her petition was no prayer, but pledge that would never I The ui6nyu stood site, yelled in deepest black, the apothe- osis of grief.
 It was matter of general comment that Raymond Holbin was not present at the funeral. It was given out that sudden irdisposition had detained him at home. But the indisposition of Raymond Holbin was a fiction pure and simple. There would have been no more discreet and well-behaved. mourner by the grave than he: but there was nothing to be gained in at tending the funeral, and there was q matter of vital importance which must be settled in the deserted residence of the deceased.
 For Holbin was a bewildered and unhappy man. Not that he feared Lou ise. The Brookin will and the death of the testator apparently secured hii interests, even should Louise be rash enough to carry out her threats of ex posture. This, however, he felt assured she would never attempt. Terror o' the law had already proved itself po tent to control her. In his hurried and frequent visits to the hotel he had as certained the fact that she was for the time being completely in his power Reaction from her fierce excitement had set in; she chung to him, helpless and penitent. That she had seen man at midnight in the wing-room of the Brookin house and had shot him, he did not doubt that she believed. A: for himself, there were times wher he had thought her simply insane the victim of an illusion; and yet the facts seemed to support her statement that she had visited the premises Clearly his best course lay in the sup port of the illusion.
 This, then, was the invention whic1 | Holbin carried to the ears of the mis | erable woman: The man she had slair was indeed the lover of the woman il

who has made study of these cases of hypertrophied tonsils and naso- pharyngeal adenoids, says that suffer- CTS from these troubles are of ab- normal types and unusually suscept- ible to the influences of chloroform. He tells of a siX-year-old boy who inhaled one ounce of chloroform and died after the operation. In the six years prior to 1898 F similar cases came to his observation in which death resulted from these slight oper- ations.
 In general, chloroform as an anaes- thetlc is more or less under the ban. It is uncertain in it's results. More men than women die from it's use, and the largest number of deaths are of those in the middle of life.
 Dr. G. w. Green, keeping record of 1000 cases of the administration of anaesthetics in Augustana hospital in Chicago, says in the Chicago Tribune that in six of these cases artificial respiration had to be resorted to in order to bring the patient to con- sciousness. There were no deaths,
 
 things to be reckoned with in anaes- thetics. In many cases before an op- eration the nervousness of patient may have stopped digestion for 24 hours before the test of the knife.
 It has always been considered that the manner of administering chloro- form was of vital consequence.
 The most common procedure in giv- ing the drug is to lay double thick ness of lint in the palm of the oper- ator's hand. He will lower the backs of his fingers until he can feel the breath of the patient upon them, dropping the drug upon the lint be- tween his fingers and just over the patients nostrils. The limbs of the patient should be elevated. The breathing of the patient is the great index to his condition. The color of his lips and the condition of the pu- pills of his eyes must be observed. < Stertorous thing shows that a patient has inhaled too much Of the drug, though this cannot always be depended upon. On occasions, pa tients at the first odor of the drug have collapked and died. =.
 In case of death from chloroform, the ordinary means. for resuscitating the drowned are resorted to. The tongue is pulled forward and artificial respiration is induced. In the case of small children, simply to seize them by the ankles and hold them head down most often proves sufi- cient.
 When death results from anaes- thetics. the breathing of the patient grow &shallower and sharlower, final ly ceasing altogether. If not too long delayed, resuscitation' is nearly always effective when q simple over dose of the anaesthetic has been given.
