ment is the big drug store room next
TO the general operating department,
The reception rooms and parlors are
spacious and home-like in appearance,
The office is also coy.
The value OF the entire property,
including equipments. may safely be
estimated at $4,000. OF this amount
there is $4,000 worth of buildings
erected since the Institution was
opened.
The hospital is run on business
principles. A printed record is kept
ofevery patient.
The physicians who give their per-

The Parkersburg Sentinel says:
ssThe action of the Republican con-
gressional executive committee Of the
First district in passing resolution
in favor of moving the state capital
from Charleston to Clarksburg has
aroused some comment in political
quarters. That SO mnch Of the reso-
luton as calls for removal of the
capital from Charleston is in accord
with public sentiment goes without
saying. Were the question submitted
to popular test more than three
fourths of the people Of the state
would say take the capital away from
Charleston"
The Parkersburg State Journal
favors removal as do all the Wheeling
papers and are advocating it in strong
editorials.
The paople of this section feel conf
dent of success in the matter and are
enthusiastic over the outlook.
The Charleston Mail sets up an aw.

kEssLER HOSPITALS BIG STRIDES
This institution Has Made Wonderful
Record and Has Had Great Success.

K. Kessler, has made some wonderful
strides in the way of additional build
ings and equipments. The institu-

floor are good bath rooms with mod
ern outfit and convenience. There
are also electric call bells and appara-
tus for electric lights, with which the
buildings are lighted.

side afford comfortable and inviting
lounging places. In front are terraces
finely sodded and shade and ornamen-
tai trees give good effect. The view
from the big porch is pleasing.
The roof garden is particularly In
wiling and will be popular resort,
when screens, chairs and benches are
put up for the summer.
A nice arrangement is the elevator
from the kitchen to u diet kitchen on
an upper floor, in which the nurses
prepare food for patients.
The general operating room is es-
pecially well arranged and here are to
be found all modern Instruments.

That gentleman came UP from
Portland, yesterday, and the

An advertisement will appear
shortly offering the property at

bly, pass into the hands of the

that these same parties will also
