Mrs, Murray, wife of County Audi-tor-H. B. Murray, underwent a severe surgical operation, in a private hospital in Chicago, last Saturday. The operation is not usually a dangerous one, but it proved very much so in Mrs. Murray’s case, owing largely to the effects of the aenesthetica upon her system. For nearly two days following the operation, her physician almost abondoned hope of saving her life, Bdt by noon Monday sh 6 had' apparently passed the danger point and began to improve very rapidly; since which time reports so far received are very encouraging. Air. Murray has been with her since Friday, except a brief visit home Monday night. That Mrs. Murray's speedy and permanent recovery may now follow is the most sincere wish of her friends.

There is one thing that seems to be hard to teach persons driving horses, and that is that all pedestrians have the right of way at all street crossings, and that it makes no difference .what the hurry of the driver may be, or whether his horses’ tails are plaited or not, or his turnout the most stunning in the land—the law s that the pedestrian, however poorly clad and deliberate, has the right of way, and the driver mnst consult his movements. It would also be well for recti ess bicycle riders to learn that their speed on the streets is contrary to both the law and to -common sense and decency. Why is it that cyclers want to make scorchers and fools too of themselves in the most thronged streets where they are in constant danger of running into somebody crossing, risking their own limbs as well as those of others? Go slow in the streets. Be civilized and law-observing in all respects at all times.—Exchange.
