 Seldom has a government underta ken such d task as that involved in the passagc during one session of three such controversial bills. and the present government has less than half q year in which to accomplish it.

upon thmselves in building and main taining the general hospitals increases by leaps and bounds. At the time this work was first undertaken by municipalities a hospital could be built at cost of about a50 pounds s'eriing per bed. At the present time ,ne cost in this connection of the re>v municipal hospitals is not less than 800 pounds per bed. This is demonstrated by the figures pub lsEed in connection with the eXpendi- ture upon buildings of some of the msIe recent hospitals including that pf Schwaping at Munich. where the actual cost is stated to have amount ed to 535 pounds per bed Another example is that of the Johannstadt r spital.

was 475 pounds per bed, which was fncr-us ed to 51O pounds per bed when the cost of fitting up the hospital and preparing it for opening-say 2o.0OO pounds-Was added. In striking con firmation of the increase in the bur den cast upon the municipalities which supply new general hospitals to the community in Germany at the pres ent tfnc we may point to the case of another and older hospital at Dresden, the Friedrichstadt there, dating from 1S49. The area of the site of this hospital is 1O1 ,OGO square meters. the number of beds being 1272, and the cost of construction as entered in the town property list at the end of 1909 was 1S3 pounds per bed against 416 pounds per bed which the ned Jo hannstadt Hospital has cost for con struction.-Si Henry Burdett, in the Hospital.

 Although the neishbors expressed their belief that Barkous had met 2 violent end, the authorities declared he died of exposure or from fall. No arrests were made and the ease soon was forgotten.
 No one ever thought to connect the name of John Derr with the mur- der of the old man. He was consid- cred harmless when let alone
 About two years ago, however Derr gained notoriety here by shoot ing and wOunding Charles Marvin because. he said, Marvin boasted ot over friendly relations with Mrs Abraham Spry. Derr's mother
 Besides this single episode the young man was chiefly known for his imaginative stories of things he had done or seen.
 The county attorney is not in thc city at present. so it is not known whether the sheriff will go to San Francisco to bring back Derr.

INGRAM IS
EVIDENTLY
UNBALANCED

A warrant was Issued yesterday in
Justice Webster's court charging
Frank Ingram with assault with a
dangerous weapon. The case arose
over the skins and carcasses Of dead
animals which Ingram had shot and
which were left near the cabin Of
George Virgins. The men are en-
gagged In cutting wood near WAGON
da in this county where the difficulty
arose which resulted in the arrest Of
ingram One day while Ingram was
away from his cabin, Virgins took
the carcasses away from where In
gram had deposited them near In
grams cabin and removed them to a
place where the odor would not be
noticed Upon Ingrams return he
commanded Virgins at the point of
a pistol to return them, which he
accordingly did. 1t was over this
last incident that Virgins sw0re out
the warrant for his arrest,
Constable John Lewis went to the
cabin last evening TO arrest Ingram
and he seemed at first willing to sub
nit to arrest but very suddenly
seized revolver and held Lewis at
bay Another man by the name Of
Howard was there and Lewis Or
dered Howard to disarn him, which
he did and then Ingram was again
submissive, but at an Unguarded mo-
ment he took up a double-barreled
shotgun and pointed II at the con-
stable, when Howard again dlsarmed
the accused man. While on the way
to Salem Ingram made an unsuc-
Cessful attempt to escape by jump
ing out OF the conveyance and crawl
ing under house Lewis got him
again by grabbing his leg as he
went under the building. Ingram
was at last landed in Salem, where
he was lodged in the county jail. His
case came up for hearing before the
justice Of the peace this morning,
where he waived examination and
was bound over to the grand Jury In
the sum OF $500.
Being unable 10 furnish the bail,
