There Is much dissatisfaction among the members of the staff of physicians at Emergency hospital slurp the Insti tution has been in operation. It has been receiving water from the Crystal Lake company, but they have now been cut off from this supply uud put In the Fallbrook mains. The water from this source Is not so pure or free from dust as that from the Crystal Lake company's mains. The water has to be filtered before using and an operation could not be attempt ed with this watur to use. The wuter from Fallbrouk is always black after a rain.

MONTROSE. i- Many exceedingly complimentary re marks were heard here on the "Our Woman's Patter." The able and care ful treatment of the different well chos en subjects certainly called for merit ed laudation. Yesterday I asked Miller S. Allen If the Democrats of this county would hold a convention this year. "Certain ly, In August," said that shrewd leader of the Democratic minority. "Yea. and let me add." said he In a manner show ing he meant It for the press, "that It will be harmonious and regular and no back-bitting snap mid winter affair and we hold It more to satisfy some Republicans than anything else." He told the latter part of the joke to Editor Cruaer, who will undoubtedly use It one of these hot days. Edward Frlnk Is a farmer living about one mile from Montrose, near Jones lake, and the Lackawanna and Montrose railroad runs through his land. Of late Mr. Frlnk's collie dog has been missing for hours every day and Mr. Frlnk's son followed him on Thursday to satisfy his curiosity as to where the dog spent his time. Imagine his surprise upon following "Tige" to a clump of bushes back of the barn to find two black snakes engaged In a game of hide and seek or follow the leader, with "Tlge" as a third member of the happy party. Repeated calling had no effect and Anally the reptiles were killed. The dog evidenced every sign of gritf, howled and bayed and re fused to be comforted. Mr. Frlnk's son left the spot, but "Tlge" refused to go and when it came the hour for the dog to go for the cows he was absent. This time both Mr. Frlnk and his son went to the bushes where the snakes had been killed and found the dog stone dead. It Is supposed that he In some way attempted to do something with the snakes and that enough life remained In them or one of them to have Inserted the poisoned fang, for the body was badly bloated.

New York Herald. In Cllrardot.a little village on the east ern bank of the Magdalena river. In Columbia. South America, there died on December 2 last a true soldier uf for tune. Enrique Morgan, a major gener ul in the Colombian army, but a native of West Virginia. During the war of secession In the United Stntes he had been a favorite "orderly" with the Confederate gener al, Lorlng one-armed Luring, as he was called and. when the latter subse quently went to Egypt Morgan followed liim there, and became a captain In the Khedive's urmy. Thing of military inut'tlon, he Joined n party of Greek surveyors In the Soudan, with whom he learned something of practical engi neering, but, contracting smallpox and supposed to be dying, he was aban doned by his companions. Upon his recovery he found that tht natives had robbed him of everything, and he became a "tramp" In Northern Africa und. Southern Europe. Too proud to apply to diplomatic or consu lar officials for assistance, he walked to the coast, worked his way across the Mediterranean sea and thence through Italy and France to the port of St. NaKnlre. Seeing a ship advertised to sail for Americn, he offered to work his pass age across the Atlantic, which offer was accepted. The vessel landed him penniless in Barranquliia, Colombia, where he enlisted as a soldier. By dint of hard work and close attention to his duties, he was successively promoted through all the grade of corporal, ser geant, lieutenant, captain, major and colonel, and llnully was appointed brig adier general and chief of engineers. In this capacity he constructed, with the labor of troops, the greater part of the railway between Glrardot and Juntas de Anulo, as well as the difficult cart road through the cordlllera of guindlo. During the revolution of 188,1 he cap tured the Important place uf Tunja, with Its extensive armory, for which service he was made u major general. To a very giuut degree he possessed the confidence of the government. He took no part in Its political affairs, and this lack of party atllliutiou, his un swerving loyalty and his well known disposition to obey all orders were quulitles which endeared him to his superiors.
