Dr. Alter is Dead.

The sad but inevitable ending of Dr. Moses B. Alter’s long sickness came Monday, morning, Feb. 13, 1899, at 2:40 o’clock. He died qnietly and peacefully, and evidently without suffering. He was conscious, at intervals, np to almost the last moment. The cause of his death was hypertrophy, or enlargement, and cirrhosis of the liver. He has been in poor health since last August, and made his last professional trip the 14th of December His age was about 01 years. A more adequate account of this popular physician and good citizen’s life will be given in a later issue. On account of the severe cold weather the funeral will be held at the Methodist churoh instead of the house to accommodate the friends, 10 a. m. Wednesday.
