ST. LOUIS CHRONICLE: You may
call Gov. Altgeld a socialist. an an
archist, a firebrand or whatever you
choose. You may accuse him Of
wasting the resources of the state
in calling the Illinois legislature to-
gether after its former protracted
and futile session, but you can't get
round the fact that most Of the re-
forms he is clamoring for would
help to make Illinois better state
to live in. Most of the legislation
he enumerates as necessary appeals
to the popular mind. This is espe-
cially true Of his demand for the
creation OF such q revenue law as
will compel all persons and corpora
tions to pay their full share CT taxes
on the property owned or held by
them, aud to compel foreign corpor,
atoms to pay reasonable license fees
for the privilege of doing business in

THE slckaoom NURSE.
Her Duties, Her Authority ssd Her Pow
eFs For Evil or Good.

Her Duties, Her Authority sld Her Pow
en For Evil or Good.
No person has greater power for evil
or for good than has the nurse in the
siclroom. Her actual authority is sec
ond to that of the physician, but her op-
portunities for exercising it are almost
unlimited. II physician in country
town wishes to secure trained nurse,
he should telegraph or write to the
nurses directory. to some hospital or
physician whom he knows, in the near
est adjacent city, stating for what sort
of q case he will require a nurse, what
he will pay and when he will require
her. Such message should secure for
him almost Immediately whatever serv-
ice he requires.
The traits of character which make
the ideal nurse are patience, obedience.
tact and good sense and temper. The
nurse's costume should consist Of cam
brio or seersucker gown, with white
cap, cuffs and apron. WOODEN gowns
should never be permitted in sickrooIn.
Her authority is absolute after the ply
sician's. She must obey his instructions
to the letter, even if they are against
her Judgment. She has no discretion in
the matter.
But the patient and the patient g fam
lily must obey her. She must never be
allowed to disobey the physicians or
ders, and the first symptom of any such
behavior should be reported immediate
ly to the physician. All his instructions
with reference to treatment. diet and
care should be followed faithfully The
fact that her patient is man should
make no difference in her behavior in
the sickroom He is a patient. not a
man. and she nurse, not woman.
Wherever nurse disobeys q physician s
orders or behaves III any manner which,
renders her dismissal advisable, the
family or the patient shorld request the
doctor to discharge her at once and to
supply her substitute. A word from him
is sufficient to insure her departure -

HERE is how an exchange discrim.
mates between libel uttered by a

adjourns. II newspaper prints
such a reflection on a mans charac-

fact that people believe what an edi-

FISH GALORE
Jake jacob and M. Guiterman
Take Liberal Samples of
the Birch Lake Bass.

Jake jacob came all the way up from
St. Louis for the purpose OF breaking
the fishing record at Birch Lake, and
brought friend, M. Giterman, to help
him, and on Monday last they did it.
Notwithstanding the fact that 1t rained
all day and that their bait was not
adapted for best results, they loosing
more fair bites than they landed, they
caught fully hundred bass of nearly a
uniform size, about pound and halt
each. although number of them were
double that size. In addition to the
bass they had large number of crop
pies, wall-eyed pike. pickerel and sun
fish. It was a remarkable catch for one
day, and they were not satisfied with re-
turning to tell the story by word of
mouth. They know how incredulous OF
fish stories the average citizen is--so
they brought in the larger portion of
them, arranged them in artistic display
and had them photographed. Fortified
with the picture they will be safe in
spinning the most improbable arms,
truthful ones, of course, and back up all
they say with Washingtonian picture
that cannot tell lie.

tions change again for the worse. and
the crop is SO far advanced that it is
not probable, this section of the coun-
try will have fair crop of wheat, fax

HOW rhey Appear.


On Monday last, through the courtesy
of Charles H. Bennett. the writer was
permitted to inspect the growing crops
through the south and western part OF
Sank Centre township, and eastern and
southern Ashley. The most discourage
ing reports had been afoat relative to
this area on the preceding Friday and
Saturday, and in measure they were
justified, in that vast deal Ct damage
had resulted from the dry and hot winds,
and doubtless but for the welcome rains
ofSundav, the results would have been
very disastrous.
Wheat and oats have suffered in spots.
Even in the same field there are areas OF
excellent and worthless grain, the differ
ence being accounted for by the contour
OF the land. In high. dry and exposed
places the straw ripened before the berry
filled Where the land is low. damp and
sheltered very little damage has been
sustained. There is a marked difference
in grain sowed broadcast and that
drilled in, and in every case the drilled is
in far better condition. Flax is uneven
some pieces looking well, and others
almost worthless. The late frosts are
responsible for this condition in great
measure. In low places corn was
touched bv frost, although little of it
was killed, yet some of it checked in its
growth. But as whole it never looked
better or more promising at this season.
Potatoes are looking well, and, allin all,
the prospects are for fair crop.
