TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES.

TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES.
There is in this hospital training
school for nurses, the object of which
is to fit young men and women for the
profession of nursing. They not only
become familiar with the care of the
insane, but are trained in general
nursing as we'll, so that after taking
a two years course, and graduating
they will be competent to do any kind
of nursing and will be much better
trained than the graduate of a gener-
al hospital: because the training in
the care of the insane teaches them
to think and act for the patient, as
we'll as to wait upon him.
The course of study is graded and
extends over two years, consisting Of
lectures and practical instruction in
all the details of the care of the sick
and insane. Young men and women
taking this two years course OF train
ing receive an amount OF culture,
independent of their training as
nurses, which will fit them for any
occupation they may choose to take up
after graduation, and it has the great
advantage of teaching them to be Or
derby, methodical and accurate, be-
sides developing in them the power
of Self-cOntrOl.
During their undergraduate term
of service, men are paid $500 during
the first month and this amount is
gradually increased according to
merit until after six months they are
paid S25 90. Graduates may for good
and extended service be paid S35 90
per month. Women are paid $1,000
the first month to be gradually in
creased to $500 after six months.
Graduates may be paid $500. Board,
lodging and washing without expense
to nurses.
All applicants should be between Is
to 80 years of age, free from disease or
deformity, and they are expected to
enter for the full course of instruc-
tion. Applicants on being accepted
will be expected to serve two months
on probation, after which, if their
service has been satisfactory. they
will on agreeing to remain for the full
course of instruction be accepted as
pupil nurses. IA
Pupils may enter the school at any
time.

THOs. B. REED: l was told in 1896
by two of the most sincere, as well as
the ablest, silver men, that the pur-
chase of 100000 ounces a month
would raise silver to par, and when
we did buy it, silver went down like
lead. Silver men have not been good
prophets in the past. What we want
is not more money, but more capital
money always comes with capital.
We have money now, more than we
can use, lying idle. We have just ex.
ported lot of it. Money is the trans
ferrer of capital, as hay rack and
horses is transferrer of hay. More
hay racks will never make more hay,
but more hay will require more hay
racks, and is sure to get them.

money volume could then be increas-
ed to any considerable extent would
be by an issue of paper money. And
this is the scheme upon which the
POpocrats rest. Donnelly and others
of his style of financiers assert that
$4,000, 100000 or more of paper should
be issued. The whole silver scheme
is founded upon ideas of the
widest imitation, and if they could
have their way, the money
volume of the United States would
soon be transformed into volume Of
deprecated paper, that would even
drive deprecated silver out of circu-
lation. The silver mine owners are
driving wild team that would very
soon get away with them, were they
successful in obtaining power.

THE RIGHT STUFF.
Organization for Republican Success
Strongly Advocated.

EDITOR FREE PRESS:
notice at a recent meeting of the
Board of Trade and other sources,
the formation of partisan
sound money club" in Mankato is ad-
vocated. | should like to ask, why
organize ''non-partisan" club, to ad-
vocate the prinicipes rof the Republl-
can platform? Why not organize a
Mckinley Republican club, and call
it by it's right name? There are a
good many Republicans in Mankato
who are not ashamed of the banner
they march under, and do not care
to merge their political affiliations in
any non-political organization. When
the time comes to vote, we all shall
vote political ticket The mon

us organize our clubs on the same
principle. Let US gladly welcome all
persons not satisfied with the vagaries
of the other political platforms, but
let US not lose our identity as Repub-
licans. | should favor meeting at
the time suggested by General Baker,
or any other time, and when we
meet, let us manfully take up the

A DAY OFF.
Tetonka Park is Visited by Fully
Four Thousand People
Yesterday.
THE WEATHER CLEAR AND HOT.

The much advertised "doings" at
Tetonka park yesterday brought out
the largest gathering Of the season.
The day was clear but hot,-red hot.
The M. & ST. L. road ran excursion
trains from Waterloo and Fort Dodge,
Iowa, Northfeld and Mankato and
intermediate points. About twelve
hundred people came up from Iowa,
and this number was swelled to fully
four thousand from Minnesota points.
Mankato turned out literally and gave
the gathering over two hundred and
fifty.
Those who enjoyed horse racing,
bicycle racing, and base ball were &C
commodated, albeit much of the ell
thusiasm attending such sports was
wanting on account of the excessive
heat. The sun beat down with such
force as to make the protection of
shade trees much sought after, and
the young man with his best girl in a
hammock was much in evidence
throughout the park.
When the shades Of evening came
and Old Sol hid himself from view,
much relief was felt by the perspiring
multitude. A slight but refreshing
breeze sprang up and more delight
fully pleasant evening could hardly be
imagined
The rendition of "Pinafore" by the
Andrews company was the one event
of the day that was decidedly enjoy
able. An improvised ship had been
constructed IN the waters of the lake,
about five rods from shore, and on the
deck of this motionless craft the
pretty comic opera was given to a
most appreciative audience. The
night was so clear and still as to rem
der the music charming, and every
person could distinctly catch the
words of the singers as they echoed
against the high bank overlooking
lake. This bank forms perfect
amphitheatre, and as the calcium
lights shown upon the thousands of
faces seated on the grass last night,
in presented picture of rare beauty.
The entertainment was somewhat
tardy in getting started, but the
train service of the M. & St. L. was
vastly more so. The published time
card for leaving for Mankato was II
o'clock, but it was 2:30 before the
tired souls moved out, and nearly two
hours of weary waiting for the train
caused a good deal of mental pro-
family and general disgust.
The Andrews can feel highly fiat
tered over the magnificent turn out
The crowd was easily beyond their
capacity to serve properly to meals
bnt those who 60 on ''eXertions" as
Mrs. Darlington calls them, must be
prepared to put up with some disap
pointments and incon veniences
While some criticism is INDUCED
the general sentiment is that the triI
we'll repaid those who made it.

WOULD NOT INCREASE THE
MONEY VOLUME.

One reason given by, the free
silverites as to why they want free
coinage, is that they want more
money, and that it can only be OBJ
tanned in satisfactory volume
through the free coinage of silver.
But the history of nations does not
bear out their theory. The United
States, which has been on a gold basis
now for over go years, has per capita
circulation of $2359. This per capita
circulation is exceeded only by four
other nations in the world, and they
are all on gold basis. In this con-
nection there is another point to be
remembered. While the Popocrats
charge that crime was committed
against silver in this country in 1873,
and as result silver was deprived of
it's money value, we find that it per-
sists in retaining money value
backed by the pledged faith of the
government, and that in spite of the
alleged crime we have today a larger
per capita circulation of silver than
we have of gold, the former being
$3.50, and the latter SS.76. and further
that this silver per capita is only ex-
ceeded by three other nations-France
with Sl2.74, Spain with So 40, and the
Netherlands with S12.1O, all of which
are on gold basis. The nearest ap-
proach to it is by Belgium with $S.71,
also on gold basis. Not a single
free silver country comes nearer than
about one-half, and the most of them
sink much below that.
OF the countries which have the
free coinage of silver and because of
it are on silver bosis, Mexico has the
largest silver per capita, it being 81. 81.
The Straits Settlements come next
With 1926, and India follows with
1921. Japan has s2O5; China has
S2.OS. None of them have any gold
to speak of. In some of them their
per capita circulation is helped out a
little by paper, put not to any great
extent. Mexico has Al cents pei
capita of gold and 16 cents of paper.
Then again in addition to the fact
that the United States is among the
! few nations with the largest pei
capita circulation, we have the best
banking system for the transaction OF
business there is in the world, and
about 95 per cent of the business in
this country i done with bank paper
it being preferred by business men To
the actual cash. The amount OF
actual money which enters into the
great business transactions of this
country is very small, and would not
be increased, even if all that the silver
advocates claim for the white metal
were true.
The monetary experience of the
past, and the present experience OF
those countries now on a silver basis,
do not in the least bear out the claims
of the free silverites that free coinage
will add to our volume of circulation
On the other hand it will decrease the
volume of circulation by retiring at
once the S6O0,000,000 of gold, and
would cut the silver and paper vol.
ume to the silver basis, or about one
half. The only way in which our

to supply. The various agencies carry
large stocks of all the parts of the

of the profit of the business comes
from selling these to repair machines.

He Used to BE Il Divinity, but He Is
Plain Bug Now.
Contact with the Aryan race has
played the mischief with the Indians,
but it brought others low, also, says the

divinity called Bcgu or Boghu, or Ba-
gaios. By and by Bagaois sunk to a
spook. He became a pOoka to scare
Irish peasantry with, a horrible being
that came at night to suck blood from
the living. He turned into a bogy-
man, or, as it is sometimes pronounced
in the west, "boager-man." That is
nearer to what the original sound must
have been. Note also in this connec-
ton that fine-tooth combs are used in
order to catch "boagers." Poor Bogu
took two or three paths, all downward.
Not only did he turn into a common
terror but he became a sort of bogus
terror. In fact the word"bogus" itself
came from his name. He is a scare
with nothing back Of him, a ghost that
turns out to be a white stump. He is q

that plays tricks on %sleepers, knots

like. He is Puck, the joker, and no.

yet to follow. In one edition of the
bible it reads: The sun shall not
