Brown Attempts It, But la
Trashed by thn Doctors.
K. B. Brown, tho WoH known
jirietor of the Ruby snleon on Muin
street, near Temple I'laee, attempted to
commit suicide thin morning b.v taking
morphine, and at the present writing is
in a very precarious condition, with tli«
(diatvees ngnlnst Ills recovery. It svems
that he had been drinking heavily for
llie past week, and this morning grew
despondent at his conduct, lie pur-
chased twelve grains of morphine at
Dasliwood's drug store, but was pre-
vented from taking it all, though he
swallowed a liberal portion of it.
He must have taken some dur-
ing the night, as It was
completely absorbed in Ills system.
Doctors Burts and \V. A. Adams were
cttlled in, and have labored faithfully all
day to save bis life. He made the linal
attempt to swallow morphine between
saven and eight o'clock, lie was taken
to his home on Pecau street between
Second and Third in an insensible condl
tlon, and though every eltort known to
science lias been made to resuscltato
him, ho is still in the shadow of death.
It is the opinion of Dr. Burts that he
had been very heavily dosed, but all the
efforts of the doctors could not hiake
him vomit. Antidotes were adminis-
tered under the skin, and either one of
tliu attending physicians has been by
his side all day. At last accounts his
skin had grown quite black, and hopes
of his recovery had about fled.
Mr. Brown is a married man and the
father of live children. He is spoken of
by those who know him well-as a
strictly honest man, a good father and
husband and a kind friend,
lie is not a regular , drunkard
but once In a whil.) gets oil',
and keeps drunk for three or four days
at a time. The sympathy of the entire
community Is extended to bis Wife and
family.
Comunleated
Street Macadamizing.
Wny not advertise for a certain klud
of macadam for three or four days and
then take the best bid you can get, con-
sidering the responsibility of the parties
and their bondsmen and go on with the
work. There are several responsible
llrms here wlio are willing and ready to
take the job at reasonable tlgures, and
push the work right along. This is a
business wav, and the May all llrms
persons, and corporations do, except
our council. Why gentlemen keep in
wrong pew longer, the second year Is
fast passing uway and nothing done on
the streets and the tax-payors begin to
have reason to complain.
No responsible man cah or will do
this work when he knows he will be the
looser. I would suggest to your honor-
able body, that you reserve some of the
residence (streets to let out to small
jobbers. 1 imagine that thqre are
plenty of competent men who would
tlx one two or three streets, cheaper
than the larger contractors would.
Hitch to the right end gentlemen, and
with the purseverance or a bulldog and
the firmness of seventeen mules or jack-
asses, all things can bo made to work
wo:o delivered. They wore oaro-
luily wiittoo and well cnQuciated,
exhibiting tho faithful study ofcom-
positi n and elocution. At right
the academic and sub junior exhibi-
tion diow out a ia>ge audience and
produced a fine effect. The students'

sic. Tho honorary dogreo of A. M.
