MORE ABOUT THE HOSPITAL.

Union is to have the hospital unless
all signs fail. The committees appoint
ed to solicit subscriptions to the cap
ital stock met with hearty response
from the physicians of the city. A
total Of $2,500.00 has been subscribed
by them. That is quite a good show
ing, and demonstrates their interest
in the enterprise. 1t is the intent of
the soliciting committees to make a
thorough convass of the business men
of Union. This would have been al
ready done but for the state of the
weather. So soon as "a fair week
comes the committees will take up this
work. Besides the subscriptions made
by the physicians, the members of
the committee appointed to reorgan-
ize subscribed $1,O0O.OO. The can
yassing committees will subscribe lib
orally also.
There is one suggestion which we
feel moved to make. In transferring
from eleemosenary institution to a
joint stock company a new charter
will have to be procured. It is in
tended that the concern be organized
and conducted upon purely business
basis. There were many contributions,
each one small, but the aggregate
amounting to a considerable sum.
Why not have it agreed by these do
nators that their contributions aggre-
eating say $1,000.00, go to buy ten
shares Of stock to be held by a trus-
tee, who will be instructed and re-
uuired to use the dividends on this
stock to help pay the expenses Of
charity patients? This would mean
that if the dividend on the $1,0000C
should be 8 per cent for any specific
year, the trustee would have $4,000
to help some very needy patient or
patients to get treatment in the hos
pital. Without having inquired of the
physicians, we feel safe in pledging
that such patients will be given pro
fessional service in such cases free.
Some such plan as outlined above
would preserve the donations for all
time, and would be a perpetual relief
fund as well. Those who made the
contribution in the beginning, did so
because of the desire to help the help
less. This plan will carry out that
interest equally as well; yes, better
than the original plan would have
done. Besides, every dollar contrib
uted in that way will receive all the
earnings it produces. A meeting of
all the contributors to the original
fund might be called in the court
house after due advertisement, and
the matter there discussed. This, of
course, in cases where a man sub
scribed less than the amount neces-
sary to buy one share of stock, and
who does not desire to make it one
hundred dollars, thus emitting him to
one share. In other words, each sub
scriber whose contribution to the old
plan was less than one hundred dol
lars would unite with all other sub
scribers in like case. For the aggre-
gate of all these let the stock be is
sued to trustee as above suggested.
We feel sure that under such plan
almost every one who contributed be-
fore would come into the new ar
rangement. This is merely sugges-
ton, but we believe it is feasible
one. 1t certainly gets rid of the use
by private individuals of this money
for their own benefit, and will be a
perpetual help to the poor.

CHAPTER 6-VALUABLE POINTS.
Grown persons suffering from
a chronic trouble of long stand
ing, especially of indigestion,
nervous prostration, rheumatism
and eczema, should make up
their minds to take a dozen bot
ties before starting on it, know
ing that it will take from one to
three dozen bottles to effect a
cure, but when the cure is eff
fected it is absolute and perma-
nent. We had much rather such
cases would not touch the Rem
edy than to ''try one bottle, and
if it does any good will get
more" but when used as direct
ed we are not afraid of the re-
suit.
We have frequently known a
half dozen bottles to be taken
before any benefit was felt; a
great many tell us they have felt
better from the first dose; most
report benefit on second and
third bottle.
When one only needs a little
tonic, of course one or two bot
ties will be sufficient, and it very
seldom requires more than one
or two bottles to cure a child.
One-half dozen bottles have
cured numberless cases of indi-
gestion, rheumatism, eczema and
other serious troubles, but they
were of recent standing and had
not become chronic.
RHEUMATISM ERADICATED BY THE
REMEDY.
Gentlemen: Several years ago
| suffered from rheumatism all
over my body. I would have
spells of it for weeks and some
times months. The muscles of
my arms, legs and back, and it
seemed like all the muscles of my
body were drawn, and it caused
me intense suffering. Six bot
ties of your Remedy cured me
at least, l got so well that l
stopped taking it, but felt the
trouble again, and took six more
bottles and it cured me-. | use it
in my family for everything
indigestion, eczema, R0ison oak,
and even the sores on the chill
dren's legs can be cured in a few
days by the Remedy. Use the
wash in connection with the
Remedy, and I believe that it
will cure anything that can be
cured. I call Mrs. Persons Rem
edy my saviour, and / can't say
how much | do think of it. I
will sanction anything you can
say for your Remedy, and I will
be willing to sign my name to
anything that you may say in
regard to it. 1t has absolutely
cured everything that I have
ever tried it for, and you may
tell the public that I said so.
Yours truly,
Mrs. F. O. Cox.

that they should be regarded as pris-

/ That Deming, N. M. is one of the
busiest little cities of the southwest
and the people are the most progress
sive and hospitablc to be found any.
where is the opinion of Buel R. Wood,
an attorney of Carrizozo, N. M. who
is stopping at the Sheldon.
Mr.. Wood dedended the seven VIII
laistas indicted for murder in con-
nection with the raid on Columbus,
and who were all found guilty by the
trial jury. Mr.. Wood has, since the
sentence Of death has been pronoun.
ced on them by Judge Medler, in ac-
eordance with the findings Of the jury,
been interesting himself in their behalf
to the end that stay of execution be
had and new trial applied for.
II am firm in my belief that those
poor men were forced into doing uhat
they did" said Mr.. Wood. "There
was no intention on their part to COM
nit murder, and you know. there can
he no frst-degree murder where no
intent is shown"
Mr.. Wood said the prospects of
getting some action taken before the
day of execution was quite bright.
And he also said he was more than
pleased with the treatment he and
his clients received by the court and
the people of Demine.--El Paso
