DOCTOR NOT BLAMED
FOR CHILD'S DEATH
Coroner's Jury Attaches No
Censure to Hospital for
Giving AneSthetic.

A verdict OF death due to unavOid-
able accident was rendered by the cor
oner's jury this morning in the case Of
thirteen-year-old Annette NJ. Murphy.
The child succumbed to an anesthetic
at the Garfield Hospital yesterday,
while the plaster cast was about TO be
removed from broken ankle.
The testimony showed that DR.. Abbey,
in charge OF the operation. did not ad-
minister an excessive amount OF chloro-
form. and that death was due TO the
physical condition of the child follow
ing the setting Of the broken limb.
The little girls father was present
at the inquest. but did not testify. Dur
ing the testimony. Mr.. Murphy appar-
emily suffered great mental anguish and
had almost to be led from the room
when the case was disposed of.
Kicked By Horse.
The Injury which cost little Miss Muir
ply her life was received while she was
playing with a horse on her grandfath-
er's farm. near Terra Gotta.
The animal was unusually fractions,
but IT. spite OF this fact. Miss Murphy
insisted on leading 1t to water. At
the time of the accident she was sitting
IN front of the animal as il was eating.
near high embankment over which
trains ran.
An excursion train, laundering past,
startled the horse. and before the child
could get out OF its way it had wheeled,
throwing its heels back as 1t did so.
One OF the hOOfs struck the girl lust
above the ankle, breaking the leg.
In spite OF her injury, the child refus-
ed 10 be taken home, fearing that her
injury might cause her mother Worry.
II was at her own request that she
was taken TO the Garfield Hospital
Her sisters say that she always was
q healthy child. When she was taken
70 the hospital, she was put under the
influence of an anestheuic. while the in
Jured limb was placed in cast. No i'll
effects resulted.
Heart Was Sound.
The examination Of her heart, made
before the second administration of
chlorOfOrm, showed that organ TO be in
sound condition Apparently she was
able TO stand an ordinary amount OF
the drug
That the injury to her leg in no wise
Infected her physical condition, other
than weakening natural to those who
lie in bed for any period OF time. is the
united opinion OF the family.
Miss Murphy was an unusually attrac-
tive child, with a manner that made her
friends wherever she went. Along the
block where she lived We're seen this
morning red-eyed women who remem-
bering the lively little youngster who
ian and romped near their doors a few
DAYS ago.
The child's sisters and parents are
crushed by the terrible outcome Of the
accident. The funeral probably will be
o'clock o.
from the Church Of the InImacuIats
Conception. Interment/Yili be in Mount
Olivet. Many Of the chiId's little play
mates will be present.

Maintenance OF Earth Roads

We may recognize the value OF hard
and durable roads in all parts OF the
country, but still the fact remains that
for long time to come the majority
OF the roads will be composed OF EARTH
Furthermore, in about nine months out
OF the year, the earth road, IL properly
cared for, is reasonably satisfactory.
For many agricultural districts, it is
the only road at present available.
Hence, these communities should set
themselves seriously to work to learn
the best methods OF maintaining earth
roads and OF getting the maximum SER
vice for them. Prosperity comes to
the country 10 great extent through
the prosperity OF the farmers. This
facts strongly suggests the importance
OF giving the earth roads every pos
Sible care and attention in its location.
drainage, construction and mainten-
ance.
An earth road composed OF water
holding soil should be exposed to the
sun and air as freely as possible, as
comparison between the shaded and
sunny portions OF such road will cas-
lily indicate. This should be accom-
plishcd by clearing sufficient amount
oi trees and underground away from
the road. II must be remembered,
however. that sandy and gravclly roads
require moisture, and in these cases
some shade should be retained Fur
thermore. trees are beneficial along
river banks and on steep grades sub
jet to washing.
Drainage is one OF the most import
ant points 10 consider in connection
with an earth road. The majority OF
earth roads in al! mountainous and
billy. districts have too much drainage
Occasionally a road will be found with
FIVE bitches. three in the middle, made
by the horses hoofs and by the wheels
oi the vehicles, and two on the sides
MI well constructed earth roads are
supposed 10 have no more than two
bitches. one on each side OF the travel
led roadway Keep the water out OF
the middle OF the road by giving it a
crown or elevation in the center OF
7 I-2 inches above the top OF the inner
slope OF the ditch for a 2o-ioot road.

There is more catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and pres
cribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing TO cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
sttutional cure on the market. II is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspooniul. 1t acts directly on

make the crown 10 inches. With
crown OF about one inch 10 the foot
from the center to the sides, the bitches
which are often built across the road
on steep grades to defect the water
will not be needed. Instead OF carry
ing water across the road in open
bitches, tile or concrete drains should.
IL possible. be provided. They should
have sufficient capacity and fall to
carry the maximum amount OF water
that is expected to flow through them
at any one time. The capacity is in
creased in proportion to the fall or
grade; for instance, I2-inch pipe laid
on one per cent grade will carry 1900
gallons per minute. while the same pipe
laid on per cent grade will carry
1880 gallons per minute. Further
more. a culvert laid fiat will soon fill
up. while one having good incline
will keep itself clear.
In the maintenance OF an earth road,
avoid the mistake OF changing the nat
ural order ofthings. Naturally the soil
is found on top and the clay on the
bottom. II this order is reversed in

the road bed is composed OF sand il

The rule for serviceable earth road,
then. is as follows: Make bitches on
each side and keep them open; haul
sand and gravel upon sections needing
this treatment. use a road machine and
split log drag judiciously: follow the
stitch in time rule and give an earth
road the same careful, persistent at
