St. Luke's Hospital Investigation

The Board of Trustees of St Luke's
Hospital met at that institution last even
ing to consider the charges brought
against it by the Rev. Mr.. Sweet, whose
mother died there recently amid circum>
stances that induced Mr.. Sweet to max
an investigation. The session was secret,
and concluded at very late hour, The
formal charges prepared by Mr.. Sweet
and "A statement by Mrs. Folsom, his sis,
ter, were read, and followed by the testi~
mony of Drs. johnson. Danforth, Owens,
and Jones, as well as the nurses of the
hospital 1t was shown that the charges
were not directed against DR.. Johnson,
who had treated the deceased, but against
the general management of the hospital
While the doctors agreed that Che lady
had died of second attack of apoplexy,
it was proven that Mrs. Swcc; during her
illness had fallen out of bed Mt night,
during the absence of the night nurse.
Mr. Sweet and Mrs. Folsom declared that
they had asked for special nurse to de-
vote his time wholly 10 their mother, as
they had ample means to pay for such
services, hut that Miss Calder, the night
nurse who was placed in charge, was kept
so busy with other patients that She
could only make an appearance in the de
ccased's room once in every threC>quarte
ers of an hour. The nurses of the house
admitted that the lady had fallen out of
bed, but the doctors claimed that this did
not hasten her death. The trustees lis
tened to all this testimony, but deferred
action until this evening, when they will

Two ladies went out to buy up
some goods,
TO make success they hunt up
every nick of the woods;
To start let us see what KNELL
has got,
For at home here we will COM
mence on tue spot.
They look through the stock
and think its immense,
The assortment is large and the
style, elegance;
Every story and department is
as full as it can be,
And how it pays here We really
Now, really Mrs. Brown, know
we cannot do better,
You see yourself the goods are
as represented to the letter.;
But, really Mrs. Jones, [ can't
decide just yet,
And before | shall purchase l
want to see another set.
You've heard of the village on
the other side of the creek,
And there we will 60 at the END
of the week,
l don't object to have people
look round,
To see where the best goods for
the least money are found.
| know that I cannot be under
sold,
However, if | say so, they think
| am bold;
want to treat every one fair
and square,
In this way ] think | will get
my due share.
My business is built up on prac-
teal experience,
And spiced from the start with
true perseverance;
Its hard to start without any
money,
And those who have tried it
a. know it is not all honey.
The next week my customers
came back as expected,
Their tour of exploration they
had just perfected;
No where in these parts conld
they do so we'll,
So they decided to come back
to G. G. KNELL.
They admitted that my styles
in every way did excel,
And there was more to select
from they could truly tell;
My stock entire was ahead of
any they had seen,
For through every store over
there they had been.
To sell them now was as easy
as rolling a off log,
For the skies had got clear and
they were out of the fog;
They concluded hereafter it was
useless to look around,
For right here in Rock Island
to buy they were bound.
Why carry the money away
from the town,
While all that is spent here
helps us all around;
We shall support home industry
every time if we ken,
For | make most my goods and
employ a number of men;
They all have to live and spend
their money right here,
And that is the way to keep the
machine in good gear.

EI sIahdPs Right Hand Man.


One night of May, eleven years ago, in o
dingy back room of an old brick house in
Wooster street, met a young Frenchman
who even then had played a part which
doubtless had prepared him for the extra
ordinary adventure in which he is now en-
gagged. He was amid a group of his friends,
and had just reached this city as a refugee.
He had been an actor in the Paris revolt Of
March, 1871; he bad escaped the massacre
that followed the suppression Of the Com
mune; he had afterward been arrested and
condemned to death; his punishment had
been changed to that Of Punishment to the
penal colony Of New Caledonia in the
Pacific; he had there, with a few compan-
ions, got up daring plan Of escape; they
had carried out that plan amid dangers as
great as ever were encountered; and in May
of 1874 the little party of fugitives had ar
rived in San Francisco, from which Mr..
Oliver Pain fastened to New York, where
he spent a few days prior to his departure
for England as a place of safety.
When here he looked about 30 years OF
age, and was tall, 1.-THE, ami handsome, pos
sessed Of both the vivacity and the gravity
of an experienced worldling of Paris. He had
done duty on the press as an assailant Of the
empire; he had done service in the field
during the Franco German war, and subse-
quently during the revolt of Paris; he had
suffered the hardships Of French convict
life, and was then in full fight from one
kind Of peril TO another; but, withal, he de-
meaned himself as though his resources had
not yet been tested.
Well, according TO the cable dispatches,
this young Frenchman, Mr.. Oliver PAIN, has
for the past year been the military adviser
of the False Prophet" who is now leading
bis wild hordes OF Arabian spsarmen against
the British invaders of Egypt and the Sou
dan; and it Is this same Frenchman who led
the storming party that captured Khartoum
and put an end to the career Of Gen. Cor
don
