Laurels for Frisby.

Druggist Frank Frisby Of this city has
never attended a meeting of the frater-
nifty without carrying off a good portion of
the laurels. At the recent Grand Forks
convention, the prize of $25 given by the
druggists Of Jamestown for the best phar-
maceutical preparation made by the men,
bers of the association, wa awarded to Mr..
Frisby. He was also awarded the associa-
ton prize of another 1876 for the best origi-
nal paper read before the convention.
Paper entitled "Protochloride of Iron and
Its PREPARATIONS designations received
from G. H. Kermott of LaMoure and H.
Brandt of Bismarck were read and &C.
cepted. The following committee on nOmi-
nations for officers of the ensuing year,
Seighfried, Maxcy, Frisby, reported as fol-
lows: D.. F.. Sheffield, president; F. II. De-
.VauX, first vice-president; G. E. KermOnt,
second vice-president; E. G. Maxcy, treas
urer; Lie. Christianson, secretary; A. W.
Bennett, C.P. Trepanier, G. N. Valentine,
executive committee.
There was quite a lively discussion on
the present prohibition law as far as that
law concerns druggists, and it was clearly
shown that that law as it now stands was
very obnoxious to the pharmacists and the
following resolution was unanimously
Resolved, That this committee feeling

CLARA BARTON TELLS THE COOL NEWS
soldier, has Investigated the ingratitude of
the republic to the women who performed
that important and beautiful service, and
he has been moved to action. He has re.
ported to the house a bill placing Oh the
pension roll at S12 a month "all women
employed by the surgical department of
the United States service as army nurses,
or otherwise officially recognized rs such
during the late war of the rebellion, and
who rendered service in hospitals in the
camp or on the battlefields for a period of
six months or more, and who were honor
ably relieved therefrom, and who from the
results of such service or the infirmities of
advancing age are unable to earn their
own support"
II believe this bill will become law says
MI. Belknap. "It will cost a mere trife,
$780, 600 a year. cannot believe that my
member of congress will rote against it.
According to the best information which l
have been able to gather, only 900 women
would be likely to avail themselves Of the
proposed pensions. Twenty-Five per cent.
of those recorded served less thar six
months, and consequently do not come
under the provisions of this act. Forty to
80 per cent. Of the remainder nave died
since the war, leaving about 1890 sur
~vivors, Of whom probably one-half would
be considered under this bill. BY the most
liberal rulings Of the pension Office not
more than 900 women would be likely to
receive pensions, 200 having already been
placed on the rolls by special act of con

Diminishing, is a very small one for a great
nation to pay in balancing accounts with
the noble army of women who went to the
field and the hospitals.
ut should be remembered that q mat
jority of these women were from the
higher walks of life-cultivated, well to do
ladies, many of them wives and mothers.
They made no distinction between the SOL
diers of the north and south, but minis
tered everywhere to the suffering. They
left their homes Of comfort or luxury, en-.
dured all the privations of hospital and
field life, and worked practically without
recompense or reward, for what was forty
cents a day and an army ration? More
than that, it has come to my personal
knowledge that scores and scores of these
devoted women gave Of their private funds
to the relief of the soldiers. The vast ma
jority Of them used the small sums re-

odved from the government in purchasing
food and medicines for the wounded, de-
priving themselves Of every comfort, and
In many we'll known instances taking the
clothing from their own persons to band
age the wounds of soldiers upon the battle
field.
while it Is true" continued Mr.. Bel
KNAPP, shat many women who figure In
the records as army nurses were not worthy
women, and were thus nominally employed
through the influence of officers, it is not
expected that such as these will come un-
der the provisions of the proposed ssFasion
law. The women we yasnt .s52 are
those who worked like hefSsnes, and who.
though perhaps then young, strong and
rich, are now, through the vicissitudes of
life, old and necessitous. To the credit of
congress it should be said that no appeal
for a pension made by an army nurse of
good record has ever been denied; but it is
fair to presume that many deserving and
needy women who have shrunk from the
publicity involved in an application to
cong1Sss for relief would be glad to avail
themselves of the opportunity offered in
this bill. OfTthe 24s nurses sent to the
front by the Sisters Of Charity-and they
were all hcroines-not one has ever applied
for a pension.
"The women who moved about like min
istering angcls-but very practical, Jul
ageous angels-among the camps and hos
pitfalls were from all walks of life. Some
were mere girls, whose romantic notions
had led them to scenes of adventure.
Many were from the lower walks of life,
lacking in experience and refinement, but
strong and earnest. Not a few were the
wives of soldiers and officers who had
made their way to the front on receipt of
news that their husbands were sick or
hurt, and who, after nursing their mates
back to health, or perchance closing their
eyes in death, had devoted themselves to
the work which they found ut their hands
to do. In this way many of the noblest
N sweetest women of the war found
their way to the hospitals, and the names
of many of these unfortunately arc not to
be found on the records of the war depart
ment.
But the grand women Of the war;" Mr..
Belknap went on, "were the refined, cult

ured ladies who left their children and
their homes behind them-the women
who had been accustomed to the
comforts and luXuries of life, but
who he'd still had experience in the
care of the sick of their own families.
These women were moved by the %loftiest
motives of humanity and patriotism, and
they entered the work with heart and soul.
with an enthusiasm which no rebuffs could
discourage, no obstacles stay. I speak Of
such women as Mrs. Fales, of Washington,
who it is believed was the first woman in
America who performed any work directly
tending to the aid and comfort OF the sol
diers in the late wat.
II speak of such women as Clara Barton,
who was among the very first to act, and
whose reading the news from the front to
the wounded and sick Soldiers quartered in
the senate chamber Of this Capitol-stand-
ing at the desk Of the presiding officer
while doing so-made one Of the notable
incidents of the early days of the war.
There was the beautiful Miss Gibson, Of
Boston, whom Miss Dix refused to employ
as a nurse On account of her youthfulness,
but who nevertheless went to the front,
stained her pretty white hands and her
person with the blood of the field and the
hospital, washed the faces, hands and feet
of sufferers, talked to them and sang to
them like a second Florence Nightingale.
Mrs. John Harris, of Philadelphia, was a
type of the women Of whom l speak. She
was the wife of IN eminent physician in
Philadelphia, pale, delicate, often IN in
valid for months, yet she went to the front
and performed prodigies. Mrs. Eliza c..
Porter, Of Chicago, the wife of a clergy
man, was another.
ga true heroine of the war was Margaret
Breckenridge, of st. Louis, granddaughter
of John Breckenridge, Of Kentucky, once
attorney general. Slight Of figure, with
intense religious earnestness and IL musical
voice, she worked and sang her way to
the hearts of the soldiers till it was finally
said of her, rs it had been of Florence
Nightingale in the Crimea, that the suf-
ferers kissed her shadow as it fell upon their
pillow.
1T is useless to give more names, and
these 1 mention by way of illustration,
to give you an idea of the sort of women
for whom this bill was drawn. Some Of
those 1 have named are dead, and perhaps
none of them would apply for II pension,
but many of their sister-heroines, once as
prosperous as they, are now known to be
in straitened circumstances. Talking
with ex-soldiers here in the house." con-
cluded Mr.. Belknap, has impressed me

ficts with the rights of pharmacists prac-
ticing under the present law.
Resolved (1), That we as Q committee
appointed by the Pharmaceutical associa-
ton of North Dakota do enter u protest
hibition of North Dakota, which we find
detrimental to the interests of pharmacy,
viz: All of section 2 of prohibition law of

the pharmacy law be amended to read that
physicians shall not be entitled to regis

That the state of North Dakota through its
board of pharmacy open the gates of the

applicants who come with certificates
granted by pharmaceutical boards of other
states.

But, as Capt. Ainsworth adds, the records
are incomplete. Probably 10000 women
in all, with or without regular authority
and pay, served as nurses. These are only
a part Of the army of women. The records
show that in addition to the nurses there
were employed in the various armies no
fewer than $4,000 matrons, cooks, laun-
dresses and 'undctcrmined'' women. Com
plete records, it is thought, would show
the presence at the front at various stages
of the struggle of no fewer than 5000 wo-
men, moro than threc-fourths of them
white and from the north.

We believe that the lottery is q
pernicious and damnable vice. We
believ it digs pit falls beneath the
feet of our children. We believe that
all gambling is unproductive to socie-
ty; that gamblers are burden on the
rest of the community and that the
existence of legalized gambling, sane
toned and protected in its privileges
by the strong arm of the law, is a
nuisance and a curse to any State
We believe that the renewal of the
lottery charter will make and ought
te make Louisiana the moral and po-
litical leper of the United States,
blackening her prestige, driving away
immigration and infinitely retarding
her material development
Believing thus, we cannot see what
difference it makes what price they
propose to pay for the privilege to
dishonor Louisiana.
Another answer to this question of
money, is that if lotteries pay so well
and the State is willing to shoulder
the infamy of the thing, why not let
the State appoint commissioners and
run her own lottery Then she would
get all the profits, which must be
enormous. Suppose the legislature
thoroughly investigates the amount
which the lottery has made out of its
privileges. This would be business
way to proceed. Then if it pays and
legislators insist on getting money
out of it, why if the worst comes to
the worst, start a lottery for the ercIn
size benefit of the State.
