A heroine of peace" though con-
nected with the Army, is discovered
by General Chaffee's General Orders Of
August 10. Nurse Alice Kemmer, Of
the Army Nurse Corps in the Philip
pines, while on leave learned that a
nurse was needed for two smallpox
patients in the isolation hospital at
Manila. Though she had never had
the disease, she relinquished her leave,
and volunteered for the duty. For
two months, April and May, 1902, she
was shut up with these patients, living
in the room with one Of them, an
officers wife, while the other, an en-
listed man, was in an adjoining room.
In intensely hot weather, without a
relief, on duty day and night, getting
never more than two hours rest at
a time, she nursed them both back to
health, and with them was finally dis.
charged from the hospital. Hers is
surely a golden deed. .--a4e4l44a.AA4.-.

ever before. We carry almost 1000
people, and doubC If you can find one
of that number who is discontented
with his or her lot. Several years
ago it was customary with the ma
iority or circuses to provide inferior
cars for their business staff and per-
formers and compel the laborers to
sleep under the big red wagons or
the fiat car. The passage OF time has
changed the order Of things. Circus
folk now travel as well, If not better

who are continually moving from one
portion of the United States to the
other in search of pleasure.
Cur business staff and performers
live in spacious Pullman cars. The
beds are soft and roomy and the bed

The circus has twelve Pullmans Of
this kind, and on each one is a porter,
whose duty it is to polish the shoes Of
all the occupants each night, look
after the laundry and make the beds
and sweep and dust the cars. These
cars are vestibuled and at the head
OF the train is an extra long dining

are fed. This diner is looked after

with three meals on the grounds.

there is always plenty of it. Every

cars. Every one has good quarters

it is seldom that complaint is heard.

Clean, smooth and in order, the loom
also awaited her pleasure at weaving.
Her water from "the north side of the
well' was cooler than could be had
elsewhere; her cream invariably
turned to butter; Gurdie could smooth
out most folks wrinkles.
When the muddy, staggering feet
of the British despoiled her polished
floors she made it understood that
they should rest in the cellar where
homemade wine was in casks, until
she had prepared their meal.
Leading to this place was narrow
flight of steps and an old-fashioned
trap-door. 1t was, however, light and
spacious, and the men cracked many
a joke over their entertainment.
At last Gurdie called to them that
their supper was ready. Leave your
guns stacked in the cellar" she said;
there's no room for them above"
This they did and came tumbling up
the stairs.
Gurdie then closed the trap door
with spring, which only she knew.
The men, suspecting nothing, fell
eagerly to eating. To her suffering
husband, outside the window, she
quickly passed the word; and thus .

A change OF three votes in every
precinct in the state will entirely
wipe out the fusion majority Of two
years ago, and no close observer
doubts that the change is much

RESULT OF CONVENTION

As a result OF the nomination foI
governor made at Pocatello and
the prominent part taken therein
by Senators Hcitlieldt aud Dubois
who are obnoxious to a large NUM-
Der Of democrats, the outlook for
complete democratic success in
November is very ominous. For
months before the convention the
signs were unmistakablc and those
who desired democratic victory
IN the state began casting about
Tor another gubernatorial candi-
date. That they did not succeed
in their efforts was chiefly due to
the influence OF the two United
states senators, who after having
been rewarded by the democratic
party with the highest position in
Us gift, bad not the dccency to al
low the party to select its candi-
date for governor.
Since the Leader opposed the re-
nomination OF Governor Hunt ON
the grounds that he was the weak
est candidate that could be selected
IN a close political contest, the re-
suit OF the convention is a matter
al great Disappointment to us from
a party standpoint. Beyond this
the result does not affect us. Our
course was directed by the best OF
lurty motives and in support OF
certain democratic principles to
which we must always adhere.
Principle is stronger than men and
when a choice must be made no
mistake is committed in it3 select
ion. We have performed our duty
as we saw it. November will dis
close whether or not we made a
mistake.-Nampl Leader demo

nished by choir consisting OF Miss

Parks there are in great numbers,
artistically planned, and laid out
with much skill. At places where an
Iavenue intersects street a ''trian-
gle is left, practically Of no value.
But the commissioners, who might
be called the common council, are
quick to utilize this spare ground to
beautify the city. A few trees are
planted, and beds OF flowers are laid
out. These are carefully guarded
and cared for-by jealous watch-men.
Monuments, statues, and water
founts lend their share toward max
| ing Washington one Of the finest
cities in the United States, and no
doubt ultimately the finest. :.
Statues and monuments are noted
now, however, more for their number
rather than for propriety OF arrange
meIt. A peculiar lack OF discrimina-
tion on the part OF those whose duty
it has been to locate them is notice
able. They seem in many instances
to have disregarded totally "the
eternal fitness Of things" Thus in
one, place the visitor will meet the
statue Of Webster right opposite the
monument OF Gen. Scott, separated
only by the width OF the street.
Gen. Scott's monument again is
erected only a few yards from the
monument built in memory Of the
founder OF Homeopathy" DR..
Hahnemann, with it's inscription
aSimilia similibus curantur..' This
monument stands right in the face
OF the famous general. Now, every
one knows, that Webster looked
upon Scott almost as mortal
eissssal for wrestling from him the
sWhig presidential nomination, the
jprize for which Webster yearned so
much, and as some say, compro-
missed his reputation by his "7th OF
March speech .
And what artistic bond there is be-
tween Gen. Scott and this German
doctor, / am sure is a conundrum
more difficult to solve than one OF
Lloyd's prize puzzles.
However, the monumen u.s. are in
trinsically beautiful, and lerd grace
and elegance to the general zone OF
the city.
The public buildings rconstitute
another feature which is to a large
extent, absent from other cities.
They are mansions, substantial, and
graceful. A visitor should not fail
to see them. LEONARD ERICKSON.
