FERGUS HOSPITAL VISITED
Employees DESTROYS Of More Pay Rather
than Shorter DAYS.

FERGUS FALLS, MINN.-The insane
hospital committees of both the house and
senate visited the hospital in this city
yesterday and made thorough inspec-
ton. The visitors were pleased with
the general condition of the institution,
and particularly, with its perfect cleanli-
ness and sanitation.
After looking over the various buildings
the committee spent some time comforting
with Superintendent WEIGH and various
employees AS is generally known. Sena-
tor Johnson has a bill providing that
nurses are not to be kept on duty for a
longer period than eight hours a day.
This measure has been introduced in re-
Spouse to a general demand for some i'm
provement in the lot Of those who are
caring for patients. AS it is. the en-
poyes are kept on duty for about twelve
hours each day, and the highest wages
which the male nurses can receive. after
years Of faithful and continuous service,
IS $35 a month. the female wage schedule
being proportionately lower. The result
IS that nurses are constantly seeking for
other avenues of employment. and the
continuous exodus has a disastrous effect
on the efficiency of the institutions.
When questioned as to whether they
in favor Of a reduction of their
hours of duty. however. the employees al
most invariably replied that they were not
particularly anxious to have them reduced
to eight. They preferred a reduction tc
ten hours with a small increase in pay
and an occa sional half holiday. They
urged especially that the maximum pay
be increa sed. so that when a, man had
been employed In the institution for sew.
eral years, he can draw what would be
considered a fair salary--a salary suffi'
Gent to induce him to make nursing .
permanent profession. The superintend'
ent IS especially anxious for some ar
rangement Of this kind.
The committee purposes to visit Roches
ter next week and ST. Peter a, little later
and if it finds, the same sentiment which
prevails here. it is probable the pending
measure will not be pushed. new bill be
Ing drafted to take it's place. The com
r1ittee is agreed that some action 1sil
have to be taken to quiet the feeling o
unrest, and induce employees to remain
permanently. .- ta

SUSPECTS TAKEN IN
Three Searched and Sweated by the
Police for Rohbing the Bur-
lington Train.
Sheriff Quinn Believes the Bandits
Are in Butte and That He
Will Get Them.

Butte. Mont, Feb. 13--The officers have
practically given up trying to locate the
holdups of the Burlington flyer in the
ranchhouses and valley country below the
city, and are continuing their efforts to find
ing the rubber-tired carriage in which the
robbers left the scene of the holdup.
Sheriff Quinn to-day reiterated his for
mer statement that, with the evidence al
ready in possession of the sheriffs office
he was confident of experimenting the
bandits in a few days. He is positive
they are hiding in the city. The sheriff
would not state what his evidence con-
sisted of, but the inference was given
that trac had been found Of the vehicles
of the robbers.
William Mccullough was released to-day
after he had been given severe sweating
by the officers. 1t Is regarded by the
officers as a singular coincidence that in
belt upon the prisoner should have been
found a sum of money that was claimed
by the railway people to have been stolen
and that McCullough's wealth should have
consisted Of $50 and 500 bills similar to
the contents of the express package SCI
cured by the robbers.
Two more suspects, taken In by the po-
lice, last night, were released after In
spector Perkins who is familiar with the
appearance Of the holdups had seen them.
Mail Clerk William Bell, who was shot
in the thigh, is not seriously wounded.
Because he laughed at the attempts Of the
robbers to blow open the safe, one of them
struck him between the eyes with the butt
of his rifle.
Fireman Henry Jondrow. whom the
robbers compelled to uncouple the en-
CINE; mail and express cars from the train
had the most exciting experience. He
was compelled to carry the dynamite Of
the robbers, while one of the robbers sent
bullet whistling between his legs to
| hurry him. The reckless way he was
| made to handle the explosive gave JON
drow the impression that the robbers was
slightly intoxicated.
| When Jondrow was ordered to go back
to the train after having carried the dy-
Mantle, he jumted down the embankment
and made his Ncape. In his race to
Butte to spread the alarm, Jondrow twice
| narrowly escaped running into the rob-
bers. Another time he was taken for one
of the fleeing bandits by the posse which
| had just left the city and In the moon
light was the target for about a dozen
shots that were fired before he made his
identity known.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb 13.-The editors
of the state who have the price and the
leisure have gone on tour to the Pacific
coast, after passing an ejoyable two days
in the capital city. Several business SEES
sions were held and little bracing done
among members of the legislature to &C
complish the passage Of bills in the inter
est of the fraternity. Another thing that
was accomplished was the obtaining of al,
opinion from the attorney general that
the provision Of law requiring the publica-
ton of school district statements was eff
fective. Some of the school districts have
held that the law was ineffective and have
refused to make the publications required
by law.
The secretary was instructed to CORE
spond with the members of the association
annual meeting. From the consensus the
executive committee Is to fix the place fol
the meeting.
The. social features of the session were
not neglected. At the banquet held at the
Northwest Hotel about 100 members OF
the association and their wives and sweet
hearts ate and made merry. Only Mis-
souri, river water was served In the way o.
liquor refreshments.

E. T., Daniel of the Indian service. sta
toned at the Red Lake subagency, was
In this city yesterday Investigating the re-
ported cutting of oak cordwood on the
reservation near this point In violation
of the federal law. Several Indian police
were also here, and 1t is rumored that
several whites, and Indians as we'll. will
have an interesting time in the near fu-
ture Mr.. Daniel left for Solway, where
he will meet and confer with Major Scott,
the agent in charge of the Minnesota
Chippewas.
Mr. Daniel states that the Red Lake
Indians are keeping in close touch with
recent events at Washington and that
the chiefs hold frequent councils to dis
cuss the pending legislation with regard
to the opening Of a portion Of their lands
to settlement. A great deal of dissatis-
faction was at first expressed when 1t
was learned that the treaty negotiated
last spring was not to be adopted in its
original form, but when it was made
plain that any new legislation must first
receive the Endorsement Of the Indians
before becoming operative, all objection
on that score was Withdrawn.
The Indians have a clear understand
ing of the present bill and are highly
pleased with its provisions with but one
exception The objectionable feature OF
the bill. from their standpoint is the
grant of sections 16 and SO to the state
without compensation to the tribe. The
chiefs point out that the supreme court
has already decided that the state has nc
title to the so-called school sections or
their reservation and that this bill is
in fact a new grant. They argue that il
the state is to acquire titlA1Ap any landS
on their reserve, it should pay for it ir
the same manner as an individual. Witt
this clause eliminated the Indians are
we'll pleased with the bill, but they ART

Secretary, A. w. Butler of the state board
of charities in Indiana writes here as fol-
lows: ..,:e $685..
Our experience In Indiana with the in
dustrial schol for girls and women's pris-
on in one enclosure and under one board
has been very unsatisfactory. For many
years the sentiment has been growing
against these conditions and our board ha s
time and again recommended the separa.-
ton, and while they were separated in
name in 1899. nothing further has yet
been accomplished In that way.
1.-THE last legislature considered a bill
for the separation Of the institutions, as
did that of 1899. This year, however
a new bill has been introduced which
seems to meet with unanimous favor. The
state federation Of womens clubs, the
greater part of the press of the state and
public sentiment generally favor the
movement.
while the separation proposed still
leaves the two institutions under one
board, 1t is not expected the new girls

. HELENA, MONT.--A most remarkable
cure of blood poisoning by the use Of
formalin will be reported to the next
meeting of the State Medical associa-
ton by local physician, Napoleon Sal

Mrs L. w. Perkins developed decided
symptoms of blood poisoning which re-
fused to yield to the ordinary treatment,
and on Jan. 90 her temperature stood at
106. while the pulsations of her heart
were so rapid that it was found impos-
sble to count them. In fact. the heart
was making it's final huttering and it was
apparent to all that death was rapidly
approaching.
Fifty cubic centimeters of formil1n were
injected in the abdomen hypodermfcally
as a last resort. The next day there was
a slight drop in temperature. At the sec
ond injection thirty cubic centimeters
were administered, and within three days
her condition was normal.

court has handed down a ruling in the
