With the advent of the scientifically
trained nurse into the medical world
the Sairy Camps of unsavory repute
have long vanished into an unregretted
past
She is an interesting creature, the
modern trained nurse, she is so strong,
SO clear-eyed, so sympathetic and yet
so business like and so accurate.
When the patient is really suffering,
who so gentle, so soothing, as the pro-
fessional nurse? But when the sick
man is merely grooming and grumbling
in a way she considers necessary, how
quickly that apparently inexhaustible
fount of gentleness is shut off and he
finds himself firmly and gently checked

She Ranks as Professional.
Today the professional nurse is the
trained assistant of the physician and
surgeon, and her vocation ranks with
the professions. In st. Paul there are
three training schools for the profess
sional nurse.
One of the Oldest of these is that of
st. Josephs hospital which was also
the first hospital in the West to adopt
a three years course of training. Here
in the large red brick building with it's
numerous annexes on West Exchange
street there are about forty-two nurses,
either graduates or pupils. Most nur-
ses regard their career with serious

nurse, as in the before mentioned case,

other to contagious cases, a third to
maternity patients and yet others to
typhoid cases, and doctors will often
have several nurses who nurse for them

The training school at the City and

1891, and the school is an important

or the idea and ordered a whole belt
made of silver characters held to-
gether by tiny chains and lined with
colored satin or velvet. This lover

met a Chinese gentleman, who i'm

DYNAMITE IS MADE USE or
TRACK DYNAMITED IN SEVEN
PLACES WITHIN -FOUR
MILES.
MOTIVE FOR DIED NOT KNOWN
EVIDENTLY A DELIBERATE At
TEMPT To DITCH THE CIR
Gus TRAIN.

Duluth, June "a. - A desperate at
tempt was made early yesterday
morning TO wreck the first division Of
the Ringing circus train, which ar
rived here shortly before noon over
the Northern Pacific from Ironwood.
The attempt was made between Maple
and Poplar. Wis, about twenty miles
east Of Duluth. The distance between
the w stations is four miles, and the
track was dynamited in sever places
within that space. The motive for the
destruction of the track was explained
by n source in Duluth to have been
the hostility of settlers on the long
disputed Northern Pacific lands be-
tween Duluth and Ashland. But an
altogether different construction is
put upon the affair by people living in
Maple and vicinity. They say that It
was
A Deliberate Attempt
to ditch the circus train. Whether the
motive was robbery or revenge for
some real or fancied injury is not
known. AS none OF the parties to the
attempted train wrecking could have
come in contact with the show recently
the conclusion is that robbery was he
inspiration of the men who blew up
The track. The first division of the
circus train was delayed several hours
while repairs were being made. 1t was
about 3 a. m. when the first explosion
occurred. 1t was heard by some OF
the people in Maple. but they did not
suspect ANYTHING wrong was In prog
ress. John Deterling, proprietor of the
Maple hotel, and eleven guests all
heard the explosion, n some of them
heard more than n report. They
wondered who could be u blasting or
shooting so early. and dismissed the
matter from their minds.
Discovered by HOboes.
The b~ombardment was continued at
intervals of perhaps ten minutes, the
sound growing more distant all the
time. If the people OF Maple suspected
nothing, t vas not true of two hoboes
who were sleeping in a box car on a
siding which run down h main line
for some distance. They realized that
there was something doing" and
when they were satisfied hat the dyn-
amiters were far enough on so as not
TO detect them they gave the alarm.
Just about that time a freight train
arrived, going west. The engineer was
warned and the train held. Sentinels
were posted to warn the Ringing
trains, and a crew was ordered out
from Poplar to make repairs. The
dynamiters had vanished when the
crew went out to examine the track.
