overbalanced him. He fell backward
into Sand creek distance of about
fifteen feet. but finding the mud not
to his liking he pulled himself out
and then lay down upon the sidewalk
to mediate upon how it happened.
He decided he was lucky to be drunk,
for such fall would have killed a
sober man. Officer Tabor picked him
up and conducted him to the city Jail,
and this morning Judeg Fisher said
he might stay five days for the pur

Tunnelton is 10 have 4 first class
hospital, and all arrangements have
been completed To- insure this insii-
trtion to be one of the most inviting
and up TO date hospitals in the State.
M. J.. Fichtncr, NJ. d., will be
superintendent and house physician.
DIR. Fichtner is so well known as a
physician of integrity, skill and un-
limited experience that comment
on the management is unnecessary.
DR.. fichtner is ably supported by a
full corps of physicians and sur
geons, whose ability and reputation
is not questioned by any one who
know them The building is mag
nifcent two story brick structure on
high ground overlooking the beau
tiful city of Tunnelton. The second
floor has the operating room, nurses
room, and six large well ventilated
private rooms, exclusively for sur
gical patients The bath is also on
this floor. The first floor has DIR.
Fichtner's Office, reception hall,
dining room, kitchen, and four
rooms for patients. All classes OF
patients will receive attention. The
institution will be fully equipped
with all modern Improvement, and
the fees will be within the reach OF
all. DIR. Fichtner informs us tina,
the doors will be opened for the re-
ception of patients about June 10th.
This is certainly a move in the RICH,
direction, and DR.. Fichtner deserves
the support of the entire county, as
this step brings old Preston county
up in line with the very best coun-
ties in the State.

DIR. BRYTE's CLOSE CALL.

Echoes of the late Republican
Primary Election are still coming
in. Some of them are rather SEN
sational, the latest being in regard
to DIR. M. s. Bryte of Bruceton. who
was defeated for the nomination for
the Legislature ON the East Side by
a small majority. The Doctor was
very sanguine of success, and his
defeat went hard with him. 1t is
said that he has used morphine for
years, and that ever since his defeat
he has been "hitting il hard" and
asked some OF his friends to watch
him for fear that he would take too
large dose. He has no family and
has been boarding at the Bower
master hotel IA Bruccton since his
wife died, but sleeping at his own
house. SUNDAY night some friends
remained up with him till late, and
next morning when he did not show
up, went TO see about him and
found his room locked, and after
breaking in, found him in heavy
stupor and note, indicating that
he had takci. an over dose with sui
cidai intent. Two doctors went TO
work on him, with but little hopes,
but they finally brought him around
late that evening, and he is still liv-
ing and will probably recover, if he
let's the drug alone, which is hardly
likely.

The Republican papers are truly
philosophical. The Journal of last
week contained an editorial from
another paper on the beef question,
claiming that we eat entirely too
much meat. The article was head
ed "Beef Not Necessary" and goes
on to say that we should eat more
rice, hominy, fish and such like food
and let beef alone. The article de-
clares that now that beef is so high,
is a good time to try the value of
various edibles for food. We hope
this Republican explanation of the
beef trust will be satisfactory to the
workingman.

claiming for the past month that
they were working on it and would
have some kind OF a statement ready

kinds of rumors are abroad about
indebtedness and the town being in

it into Circuit Court and have a
