Gen. Crook aud the Mexican forces in
%dislodglng and subduing the Apaches in

at least a six months campaign with the
best backing the government can give to
Gen. Crook, and with the hearty COOP
Grafton of the Mexican forces to bring
the renegades to terms. The task is
herculean, and, without doubt the most
difficult that Crook has ever underta-

Damages for a Damaged Heart

Referee John Croak, in the suit of
Bernard Barwick for $4,000 damages for
breach of promise Of marriage, was
decided Immediately in favor of Miss
Mclean, the defendant in the case.
Counsel said that the decision had been
received too late to take action upon it
Immediately, but he should at once APP
ply to tie referee for a certificate to
the effect that he should have an extra
allowance Of 5percent. on the 81 ,000dam-
ages. This, he thought, would probably
bring the total cost that Barwick
would have to pay up to 800. In case
the plaintiff would not pc able to pay
the 1000, execution would issue against
his body, and he would be sent to jail.
"Thus, you see, there is some difficulty
in getting damages for a broken heart

The Division of Dakota.

st. Paul Pioneer Press, May II.
Congressman j. C. Burrows of Kalamazoo, Mich,
who WAS chairman Of the committee on Territories
during the recent session Of congress, was at the
Merchants hc;cl yesterday, having come on from
Minneapolis, where h. Is ~stonping a few days, being
upon Il trip to TIE West. uhe opportunities which
his position upon the committee have given him for
forming an opinion relative to the question of tho
division OF Dakota tend to give Il good deal of
weight to his views upon that important subject.
He was found at the hotel by a PIONEER PRESS
reporter yesterday, and i'll reply to the la,ter's ques-
tons said:
During the last session of congress l made a
strenuous effort for the division of the Territory Of
Dakota on the forty-sixth parable, and the admis-
sion of tie southern half of the Territory as a State.
A bill was reported from my con- 'li''ee at the first
session OF the For.y-seventl congress to accom-
pllsll both of these objects. 1t was impossible to
secure either cGd, for tn reason that there were
some Rcpnbl;cans opposed to voting upon the
was settled, and they declared they would never
vote for either proposition until the question was
settled. AT the second session that matter was so
far settled as to eliminate it as IN objection.
In nv Judgment. ;he Territory cannot
be admitted US a whole. or divided. until after the
next presidential! election. The Democrats. being
in the majority in the lower Ii Use. vii! not consent
TO the admission of Dakota before the next presi-
len,iai election by reason Of their impression,
probably well founded, that DAKOTA wou!i be q Re-
publican State. SO long as either house remains
Democratic, congress viii! not in my Judgment con-
sent TO division in any form, fol the reason that that
would mean four Republican senators, aud a1ouble
representation ut the beginning i'll the lower house.
l have no doubt that 4 year from next winter Da-
kota can be admitted as ii whole, if her popu-
lation be sufficient TO ciritle her to one repre-
sentative. The house was brought 10 a
vote, REPEATEDLY both upon the question
of the admission of the south half and the division
on the forty-sixth parallel. Both these questions
arrayel a substantially solid Democratic opposi-
ton. In a word. for purelj political reasons, no
Democratic congress will ever consent to the divis-
ion of Dakota in any form Whatever"
Then You think thcre is little prospect for a
division OF Dokota on the fprty-sixth PARALLEL"
Yes. sir: there is in my Judgment Just about as
much prospect for a division of Dakota on the
forty-siXth parallel as there is for Dakota's being
removed bodily over the Canada line.

PROPEssGoNAL NURSES.

Who has not, when with brow throb-
bling with fever and nerves sensitive
from suffering, while tossing through
days and nights Of pain, longed for the
touch of gentle hands and the sound OF
a sympathetic voice ? Many OF our
soldier readers remember full we'll those
angels Of mercy who, In the hospitals
Of the war, glided here and there be-
side the bedsides Of the wounded,
chatted with the convalescents. wrote
letters for those grievously manned,
read TO the eager listeners, and sat In
tenderest reverence bv the side Of dying
comrades. To sympathizs, comfort and
cheer are woman's attributes. Trained
nurses are too rare nowadays. The war
brought from elegant homes and cosy
fresides large numbers of brave, self
sacrificing women. With the end of
the great struggle they returned 10
other scenes. Yet everywhere there il
need Of gentle ministration and that
skilful care which, above all others, can
be rendered best by educated women.
On Blackwell's Island, N. Y, from the
Charity Hospital, were recently graau-
ated class Of professional nurses, the
members of which were young ladies Of
culture and refinement, who had de
oided to adopt this profession. Cop-
menting ON this an exchange wisely
says: Next to the physician the
trained nurse ID the most valuable ally
in the Gght against disease, and II the
example Of these young ladies we're
followed in other parts Of the country,
the result would be the retirement Of q
large number Of the professional nurses
Of the old school, whose ignorance and
credulity arc monumental. In every
city the demand for trained, intelligent
female nurses far outruns the supply.
One Of the most perplexing problems
the doctor has to contend with is the
difficulty Of securing nurses who will
follow his orders to the letter, who haye
the skill to take advantage Of any IA
vorable turn In the disease during his
absence, and the native refinement not
to shook the sensibilities of the patient
By gloomy stories Of those who have
succumbed to similar ailmsnts--a faver-
ite practice. by the way, Of the profess
sional nurse. Here is field for women
which promises more in payment and |
usefulness than many to which abe ia |
