FIRST ANNUAL 9r
WIS. ALUMNI BANQUET
Landlord COughran's Spacious
. Dining Hall .Thronged with
Worthington's Educa-
tiOnal Luminaries.

On last Saturday eve., at 9 o'clock;
was rendered the first banquet by
the Alumni of the Worthington
schools to the last class graduates.
The scene of this important occasion
was the Hotel de Worthington, and
the dining room ornamented with
flowers depicting the colors of the
class of '96 was an artistic setting for
the long tables, placed in the form OF
an IL" and heaped with tempting
viands of every description.
Here and there from the snow
white cloth wax candles in magnifi-
cent candelabros flashed back def
antly their diminitive rays at the in
candescent lights overhead, greatly
enhancing the beauty of the festive
board.
The Divine blessing having been in
voked by the Rev. Mr.. Putnaw the
guests enjoyed themselves in royal
style with the feast, and soon the lit
erary portion of the banquet trans
fered their minds from the viands to
the speeches to which they were soon
to listen.
Mr.. G. Foster Moore ably perform
ed the duties of toast master and
gave half dozen toasts that pro-
voked very interesting and witty re-
sponses, each being heartily applaud
ed, though the inspiring fluid was
limited to Adams ale.
After the toasts had been conclud-
ed by a short farewell address by Mr..
Moore, the guests arose and gave the
Alumni yell with vim that did cred
it to their vocal powers.
The yell which is, Bifiti Bing,
Bing, Boom, Bi; WORT hington High
School Alumni; was repeated three
times with tiger.
The guests then withdrew to the
drawing room, where, after they had
listened to a beautiful dissertation
upon the piano by Miss Clara G..
Cripps, who is to be the instructor in
music at the High School next year,
they betook themselves to their var
ious abodes vowing that they had
been most delightfully."- entertained,
and looking forward with joyful ex-
pectations to the next W. H. 8. A.
umni banquet.

St. Peter State Hospital,
ST. PETER, MINI.
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, 80 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
general 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, in
dependent of their training as nurses,
which will fit them for any occupa-
ton they may choose to take up after
graduation, and it has the great ad-
vantage of teaching them to be Or
derly, methodical and accurate, be-
sides developing in them the power
Of self-control.
During their undergraduate term
of service, men are paid $500 dur
ing the first month and this amount
is gradually increased accordiag to
merit until after six months they are
paid $25.0O. Graduates may for
good and extended service be paid
$500 per month. Women are paid
$1,000 the first month to be gradually
increased to $500 after six months.
Graduates may be paid S2S.OO.
Board, lodging and washing without
expense to nurses.

The Other Side.

Editor ADVANCE:
In your last weeks issue there is &
great deal of ;fulsome praise of ou1
home doctors, and they are defended
for their course in having the experts
arrested short time ago.
In view Of the facts as they exist
here I should think the home doctors
would keep still. In the last few
years there have been quite mum
Der of operations for appendicitis, and
in those cases where the operations
have been by Worthington doctors
alone, without any outside help
death has resulted in every case SC
far as can learn, and in the cases
where there has been doctor called
from abroad the patient has recover
ed, with hardly an exception-sc
) much for their being as competent as
other doctors.
The article in question says there
is way to get doctor from abroad
that is through your family physi-
clan. Shades of Washington! A
citizen of Worthington must first
hire home doctor and let him prac-
tice awhile, then if he don't under
stand the case he will call some one
else. There is not much liberty in
that. ri r" NJ
The doctor laws of this and other
states are simply disgrace-class
laws and nothing else, and the doctor
that helped to get them enacted or
uses them to restrict the liberty of
any citizen should be treated with
contempt for he justly deserves it. l
believe III sustaining home men of all
trades and home institutions, but
when any class try to COMPEL people
to patronize them it shows that they
want an unfair advantage and should
therefore be let severely alone.
Yours for fair play,
u. Fl. MAXWELL.

Report Protesting Against the "womsn's
 Bible" Tabled by Vote of 50 to 16.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-The 2Sth an- nual convention of the National Wom- an Suffrage association began hero yesterday. Three hundred delegates are present Miss Isabella Rowland, of New York, in delivering the report of the corresponding secretary, said that the work had been hindered by general misconception of the relation of the so-called "Woman's Bible" to the association. As an organ ization the body had been held responsible for the action of an individual in issuing a volume with a pretentious title covering c tumble of comment without either literary value, set forth in spirit neither reverent nor inquiring. She urged that the association. by resolu- tion, disavow responsibility for the publication. A number of personal colloquies resulted and the report finally was tabled by vote of 59 to l6.
 At the evening session Miss Susan E. Anthony, the president, delivered het annual address. It consisted princi- pally of review of the efforts made by women in the early career of the suffrage movement and the attempts on the part of women of Rochester to force the government to grant the franchise to women.

Persons Going to St. Louis Will Depend Up.

 ST. LOUIS. Jan. 22.-The national re- publican subcommittee on conven. ton, after a two days session here, finally completed its business, signed the contract with the Business Mems league for the care of the repub. lican national convention to be held June 16, and adjourned siue die. The citizens of St Louis are to bear the entire expense attending the conven. ton.
 As to the matter of tickets, it was decided that visiting republicans would have to look to the delegates from their respective districts for admission to the convention. This was thought best by the committee, for the mem. bers had received so many requests for personal admission that they cannot look after them. Three thousand tickets are said to have been assigned to St. Louis.
 The 800 admission tickets set apart for the Grand Army of the Republic are to be turned over to members of the council of administration of that organization for distribution on the basis of membership of the organiza. ton in each state and territory.

 NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-R G. Dun & Co., Weekly Review of Trade says:
 This week has been marked by improvements products have risen, but only because supplies The senate still injures all business by doing nothing, and the treasury cannot expect to gain gold as yet, but loses less than was ex- pected. It is generally assumed that the new loan will be placed without difficulty, though the successive payments may cause continued disturbance.
 A deluge of foreign reports favorable to wheat speculation found ready answers in an adv ance of over cents here, in spite of vest ern receipts 50 per cent larger than last year. The market has the idea that foreign demands hereafter must be much greater because of de- fcient supplies elsewhere. but no one expects that the increase will be at all commensurate with the enormous increase in western re- ceipts 2 per cent since the crop year began. l37 O0o0 bushels, against 1V79 ,l0 last year.

Ellison esti- mated the yield at 100000 bales and receipts to date support that estimate, but there are many who reason that the surplus will be dan gerUusly small at the end of the crop year. even if the yield is 1000 900 bales. The actual marketing of goods in Europe and this country hardly supports that view

 COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 23 A bomb was exploded in political circles last night by the indictment of three ex-mem- bers of the legislature on charges of bribery. A true bill was found against ex.Senator John Grier for soliciting SOO from w. F. Burdell, of this city, for his influence in securing the pas sage of a bill in the interest of the Ohio Savings Bank & Trust Co. in 1893. A true bill vas found against ex-Sen- ator Gear for soliciting $250 from D. H. Gaunier, of Zanesville, in the lden-Gaunier election contest in 1892 Three counts were found against ex- Senator l.. c. Ohl. as follows: Solicit ing s2jO from ex-Senator George B. lden in the Iden-Gaunier election con test; accepting S?5O from Iden in same, and offering and promising to give Sem ator Avery, of Cleveland, Sl66 for his influence in holding in his committee two bills in the interest of the Ohio state university. Gear and Grier are democrats and Ohl a repu blican. It is sad other indictments are probable.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-Postmaster- General Wilson has issued a general order providing that in all cities and towns having free delivery postal serv- ice the postal system be extended to include house-to-house collections. For the convenience of the department, however, the introduction of boxes in the houses, until further orders, will be confined to 25 places. The action taken is the result of practical tests made in St. Louis and Washington. These were regarded as satisfactory, and probably the time saved to carriers, no longer compelled to await answers to bells, may be utilized in further ex- tending the boundaries of routes in rapidly growing communities. House. holders in the cities will be required, for their own convenience and at their own expense, to supply suitable boxes of a kind already approved by the

 WASHINGTON, Jan 2A--The silver conference yesterday resulted in the adoption of the strongest kind of Q declaration for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l. and the call for delegate national convention to be held at St Louis, July g, 1896, the date of the populist national convention.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The adminis- tration is congratulating itself on hav- ing drafted the new bond call on lines conforming in some measure to those of a popular subscription. The re- sponses, 1t is true, do not indicate that the whole loan will be taken by peo- pie in comparatively small blocks, but they will show widespread interest on the subject of the governments necessities, and willingness on the part of the people to serve the govern ment to the full extent of their power. They likewise show that the supply of gold in this country is very much larger and much more easily reached than was generally supposed.

The House Committee on Public Lands Re-
 cslves an Adverse Report on tho Measure
 from Secretary smith.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The house committee on public lands has re- ceived from Secretary Smith strong adverse report against the free home. stead bill. The bill absolves all per. sons completing five years residence on the lands taken and occupied under the homestead laws from making further payment to secure their title other than the fees incident to filing and obtaining proof. The measure is a sweeping one. and land officials esti- mate its passage would involve at least S3O, 900, 900 of cost to the government and Sls,OOo.0OO in Oklahoma alone. This is the amount paid to the h. dians for the relinquishment of their lands there.
 Large tracts of land have been nc. quired through purchase from h. dians For some of these lands the In. dians have already been paid by the government, and for other portions the government is still responsible. There are also abandoned military reserva. tions involved which have become val. uable because of their location, usually in settled communities, and persons entering them had a distinct under, standing that they were to pay car. tain price per acre.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The Resolution of Senator Davis Reported
 to the Senate-Text of the Document
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2L-Senator Davis, of the senate committee on foreign re- lations, yesterday reported favorably on the resolution enunciating the Mon. roe doctrine. tis the result of the care- full consideration of the committee on the advisability of incorporating the Monroe doctrine into the federal statutes. Following is the report:
 Resolved, By the senate. the house of repre- sentatives concurring that, whereas. Presi- dent Monroe, in his message to congress, De- cember 2, A D. 1893, deemed 1t proper to a1- sert as Q principle in which the rights and inc terests of the United States are involved, tAat the American continents, by the free and ilde- pendent condition which they have assumed and maintained, were thenceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European power: and
 Whereas. President Monroe further declared in that message that the United States would consider any attempt by the allied powers of Europe to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety; that, with the existing colonies and dependencies Of any European power we
