Emergency Hospital Are.

The highest number of patients ever
in Emergency hospital at one time are
now under treatment there. There are
thirty-seven in all and Mrs. Wright

busy. The prevalence of disease and
accidents seems to be greater at pres
ent than they have been in some time,
though fortunately little Of the disease
is of q contagious nature. Miss Mary
Garden who was operated upon at the
hospital is as well as could be expected
but is rather weak. Patrick Morrison
who is being treated for injuries to his
foot Is able now to be up and around
in the ward. William Utly who had
his feet frozen some time ago and who
was admitted to the hospital for treat
ment on Monday will suffer amputation
Of all the toes on one foot this morn
ing.
There was no change last evening in
the condition of Martin Jordan. He is
still very weak.

of Mr.. Kimball will be felt by Carbon
dalians, for his was an influence which
was q factor in the conmunitys de-
velopment along many lines. He is q
splendid type of man, always striving
to bring men together that the broth
erhood Of man may be realized, and not
be q mere thought or sentiment.
In the interest that he showed he
rendered it beautiful by his unseltish
ness. 1t was ever a desire to benefit
those with whom he associated that
moved him to arrange for enterprises
that brought men closer together.
Whether it was at his own home, about
the banquet table or in the club room,
there was that same unselfish spirit.
Mr.. Kimball had no axes to grind; he
never sought political preferment,
what he did was for the benefit Of his
neighbor that he might have a better
claim to call him brother. 1t would
take some time to review what Mr..
Kinball has unselfshly done for those
with whom he associated, but it is
enough to say that when he leaves Car
bondale he will not be forgotten he
will leave q warm spot in the hearts of
those who knew him; his memory Will
be cherished, and when he approaches
the evening of his years among the
hallowed places of his birth he will be
comfOrted by the thought that his resi-
dence in this city was marked by good
will and charity that We're not tainted
by selfislness.
Mr. Kimball was president of the
Carbondale Cycle club and his loss to
that organization, like to the commun-
ity. will be loss as his career in office
was II splendid influence among the
members.
Another prominent Carbondalian
who is to take himself away, to the
land OF riches in the West, is Thomas
Leyison. In u few weeks he will leave
for Colorado where lie has spent some
time and where he sees splendid posi-
bilities of Investment and development.
Mr.. Levison has shown keen foresight
in business matters and it is chiefly be-
cause the West offers the broadcast
scope for these qualities that he made
up his mind to take up his residence
there. There seems to be q successful
future before Mr.. Levison and if the
wishes of his Carbondale friends could
bring about this success then he would
truly be blest with Fortunes brightest
smiles.

Capital

Recent researches by a committee
representing the London Society of
Psychical Research have brought to
light the fact that our national capital
is full of alleged ghosts.
Washington is the worst haunted city
in the United States, If half that has
been told be true. More than 80 houses
in the city. large and small, are liter
ally given up to ghosts, remaining va
cant and unrentable year after year.
From time to time one or more of them
Is rented by tenants who pride them
selves on having no superstitions only
to be precipitately abandoned after
brief term of occupancy.
The most modern of these dwellings
is located on Nineteenth street between
Q and II streets hardly stones throw
from the palatial residence of l.. u. Lei
ter. This section of the city is one OF
the most fashionable and arstocratc
| quarters. Shortly after the house was
built its first occupant stood before a

and cut his throat from ear to ear, Their

tice Stewards foot struck the side of
the structure. Like a fash he was
dashed out of the loop and tossed
hundred feet away with the force of
catapult, where he lay bleeding and
stunned, but fortunately with no bones
broken.
But the memory of this fall appar-
emily has no terrors for him, for he
mounts his wheel and, after a mo-
ments hesitation, let's it slip off the
platform.
Steward rides a 80 pound wheel fitted
with solid tires. This latter precaution
is taken because the force of the i'm
pact when the machine first strikes the
inside OF the loop" would cause pneu-
matte tires TO explode. At this point
there is pressure of 1000 pounds.
The track on which the ride is made
| is about two feet wide. Steward has
a black path six inches wide painted
| in the middle of this to serve as guide
to keep him from riding off the track.
He has no pedals on his machine ano
has the front wheel "set" to prevent
swerving, as it would be impossible te
keep the front wheel steady during thit
fearful ride.
