 VI would therefore suggest that this matter be submitted to the counsel for an opinion as to whether it would, if completed. answer all the requirements.'
 'It Messrs. Wood aud McCartv are all right in their opinions. 1t IS apparent that there is still something further to be done to. ward settling the question of a site for the structure. Yours truly. w. Coughlin." It seems to be the general i'm pression now among business men that the shortest way out of the matter-as well as the best Is for MeDa to withdraw the offer of Stilwell park entirely and pro. ceed 10 secure another site, and The Star is assured that the chairman of the board of direct. ors of the hospital association. MT. Coughliu, heartily concurs in that idea.
 There arc several very excel. lent sites available, and one of these was pointed out to Mr. Coughlin while in the city Satur- day which he said was, to him, entirely satisfactory. Mir. Cough lin further indicated that any action in this matter taken by Messrs. Clayton and Mccormack would probably receive the ap- proval of the balance of the m .m- bers of the board, these gentle men representing the employees of the road.
 MT. Coughlin desires that Mena should act promptly in the matter so that work could be begun soon.
 A number of business men met this afternoon to take preliminary steps to secure a suitable site and no time will be lost in getting the task done.

 Nov 9, 1907. nDr. J. K. Davis. Mena, Ark.
 "Dear Sir: Il quote for the in- formation of yourself and all our friends at Mena who are interested in the building of a hospital at that point, the folio w. ing from the secretary of the Employees Hospital Association
 "'I really do not see how the trustees of the Hospital Associa- ton could be justified in letting q contract for the erection of a hospital in Stilwell park, when Attorney Wood, who really rep. resents the legal department inso- far as the Hospital Association is concerned, is of the opinion tba, any property owner of Mena may enioiu the use of the park for such purpose.
 Suppose that notwithstanding this fact, the trustees should let the contract for the erection of the hospital in that park, and some property owner of Mena should afterwards enjoin the erection of the hospital, you will readily see that the Association would thus be encumbered with a contract which 1t would be im- possible 10 fulfill, and might be compelled to pay large sum to extricate itself from such a con- tract.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa, Jan. q. - The
grand jury, which has been investi.

property in Luzerne county, made a
special report to the court. The reve-
lations are startling.
The grand jury claims that the in

The county commissioners are urged
to increase the value of this property
at once by about $15,000.O00.
The grand jury, in its report is
very severe on those coal companies
that will not sell the surface of their
coal lands for building lots. although
such lots are very much in demand.
The assessment on these lands is only
$1,000 an acre, while adjoining lots.
owned by individuals, are taxed at the
rate of 5000. In other words the small
property owner pays tax on 5000, while
the coal companies pay only at the
rate of $14 a foot.

the typhoid epidemic occurred here
John Convey, aged 10, son of a promi-

nounced cured of typhoid, and the
family was given permission to take
down the typhoid placard.
The patient had been taking citrate

heen using carbolic acid as disin-
fectant. The two liquids were kept in
the sick room in similar bottles The
son asked his mother for a dose of
magnesia. The mother accidentally
poured out wineglass full of carbolic
acid and gave it to him. He drank it
all, and in 20 minutes died When the
horror of the thing dawned on the
mother she had to be forcibly restrain

his dying breath the young man, in a
futile attempt to assuage his mothers
awful anguish, protested that he had
not swallowed the poison, and that he
was all right.
