Prof. Stadelman, principal physi
cian of the great hospital at L’ried
richshain, a suburb of Berlin, in his
latest report says that the inroads of
alcohol among large sections of the
working classes in Berlinare appa ling.
He reckons that 7 per cent of all the
cases admitted to hospital are cases of
delirum tremens, and that this in no
way covers all the forms of disease
brought on by intemperance. Rough
ly, he says, between one-quarter and
one-third of the diseases afflicting men
in the great districts in Berlin inhab
ited by workmen are caused by the im
proper use of alcohol.
P. F Thompson Departs This Life.
The community was greatly surpris
ed and shocked to learn of the sudden
death of Peter F. Thompson early

nounced to be the result of a stroke of
apoplexy. By the merest change he
was discovered in the throes of the at
tack about nine o’clock Saturday even
ing by his wife. Both had retired
early to bed in separate rooms and
Mrs. Thompson was aroused by a
neighbor who called to get something.
After she had waited upon the neigh

husband’s bedroom as if he were gasp
ing for breath and went in to investi
gate, finding him unconscious and
breathing only in gasps at intervals.
Neighbors were quickly called in and
Dr. Gilligan summoned. The doctor
pronounced it apoplexy and held out
no hopes of recovery. He never re
gained consciousness, and passed
quietly away about three o’clock Sun
day morning.
The funeral was held Wednesday
afternoon at the Presbyterian church,
the Odd Fellows lodge taking charge,
and was very largely attended. Adolph
Johnson of Dennison, Tex., a brother

lodge brethren.

A Line From Doc.
W. D. Mathews, founder and many
years editor of The Frontier, in send
ing a remittance for his “baby, now
an adult, the good old ‘P'ront.’ in
forms us lie has removed from Alton,
111., to Memphis, Tenn.
His letter will be of interest to
many Frontier readers, and we quote
from it:
“We have bought a verry pretty
home here, and the latch string hang
outside. We are all mighty glad to
get back to the south land, and pro
pose to quit moving around and make
thisourhappy home until thesummons
comes to join that innumerable cara
van which moves to that mysterious
realm, there to occupy a home not
made with hands, eternal in the
heavens. As the years roll by, natural
ly the memories of the years spent in
dear old Holt county grow dimmer,
yet we can never forget that those
were the happiest days of our lives,
and sometimes we wish we could live
them over again, knowing that we
could improve and better them in
many respects. However, it is well
that we can not call back the
years, for could we do that we
would never get through living this
life, and no preparations would be
made for what must certainly be a
better life, in the Great Beyond.
“With kind regards to our numer
ous friends and best wishes for all, I
am, Yours very truly, W. D. Mathews.
