room include much that is distasteful
to a fastidious woman, and unless one
can conquer all repulsion ard enter

death, that goes on in the chamber of

Girls often write to me saying that

ard they think they will study nursing.
Unless they have a positive vocation
for it, they would better select some
thing else. To the girl who has the
needed requisites, nursing presents it
self as an inviting field Of labor. In
these days physicians are reluctant TO
allow very i'll persons to depend on the
most efficient home-nursing. Iii private

WAS ANOTHER WEARY DAY
j. FOR MRS. GRACE TACCART

Witness said she held Taggart up
against the wall and said to Culver,
you see what an awful condition your
father is in
She said she never knew of Taggart
getting drunk while attending to his
official duties.
1t was drawn from Mrs. Taggart that
at Gen. Miners dinner che was over
come by the extravagant compliments
the general paid her and she blushed. 1t
is charged that Miner pinched Mrs.
Taggart's leg at this dinner, and led
Taggart to threaten to blow out Min
er's brains. The general and Mrs. Tag
gart had entered fiat denial of the
charges. The story of Mrs. Taggart's
embarrassment was new.
"The compliments Of General Miner
were on my personal appearance and
the beauty of my gown. He was just
jollying mes but could not help but be
embarrassed"
Mrs. Taggart testified
"On our way home Capt. Taggart
said to me: My. but the general must
have been shooting a lot of hot air into
you | told him then about the gem
erals fattery and how a jolly chap
who sat on the other side of me repeat
ed under his breath everything the gen.
eral said"
"Is that your idea of propriety?" was
asked.
We'll, Capt. Taggart was more of a
jollier than Gen. Miner"
The question Of cigarette smoking in
army circles still remains unsettled.
Lieut.. Fortesque, testifying for Mrs.
Taggart, admitted he had seen Mrs.
Taggart smoke cigarettes, but hastened
to declare that 1t was the custom of la
dies in the army posts and at Washing
ton to smoke cigarettes after dinner.
Mrs. Taggart on the stand denied she
smoked cigarettes. Thursday she con-
tradicted Fortesque again, denying that
1t was the custom for army women to
smoke them. She blamed the custom
on women not in the army THE only
ones who smoked cigarettes" she said
were the city people,"
Taggart's attorneys told Mrs. Tag
CART they would ask her to don her
pink and yellow kimona in court She
said she would bring it. The lingerie,
she says, was ripped to ribbons by Tag
CART the night of the quarrel.
A niece of Mrs. Taggart wore the
kimono in court the other day to show
1t was not immodest. 1t is the kimono
Mrs. Taggart wore one day when Lieut.
Fortesque called.

O'Neil refused to talk about the al

wouldn't discuss the matetr with the
officers, and when newspaper man
tried to interrogate him he was equally
dumb. Il don't know no more about
that job than you do" was all he
would say.
O'Neil denied that Jud King, who
was arrested Saturday with the nitro

The arrest comes about through the
talking on the part of BLACK Pete

merely addressed to him to save

O'Neil looked singularly insignificant
alongside Reedy Mcdonald and Ed &.

brought him here.
The deputies were compelled to exert
the utmost vigilance on their trip from

When the deputy sheriffs and their

they were warned by Canton police

took ONeil into the baggage car, where
they remained until Orrville was
reached, and change of cars had to
be made.
Then the officers and their man en-
tered the smoking car. The four friends
of O'Neil were making themselves con-
spicuous and under pretense of getting
drinks of water they managed to get
0'Neil's attention. They were noticed
giving him the nod and the wink at
various times.
"Now, 0'Neil, the easiest way Is the

quietly.

GRAFT IN OHIO HAS DONE
WELL THE LAST DECADE

The gait of graft in the state admin
istration in the past decade has been
rapid enough to suit everybody but the
fellows who foot the bills.
In 1894 1t cost $S,9s2,S95 to run the
state governmental departments, sup
ported out OF the general revenues,
while in 1904 the expenditures out of
the general revenue fund of the state
amounted to s6.043, ,002, an increase in
ten years OF $2,060.1O7, or at the rate
OF $206,0l0 per year.

Wooster, o., Aug. 31.--Mrs. Taggart
again put in a full day on the witness
stand and retired at the close of the
session with look of weariness on her
face that showed only too we'll the try
ing ordeal through which she had
passed in the rigid cross-examination
at the hands of Attorney Sterling.
She continued, as on Wednesday, to
give her testimony in calm, dispas-
sionate manner, but weakened several
times and made statements that were
at variance with the statements made
on direct examination.
did you ever boast of being able to
drink bottle of beer without taking
your mouth from the bottle?" she was
asked.
II never had such an accomplish
ment."
Didn't you brag at Fort Thomas
about your being able to drink whiskey
straight-without water?"
II could drink it without water, but
don't think l Dragged about It,"
She denied that when she first went
to Manila she was undergoing medical
treatment for the illness previously
referred to in the trial. She said this
illness occurred later on.
Attorney Sterling then went into the
events of the night in June when Mrs
Taggart is alleged to have been bru-
tally beaten by her husband.
Witness said she did not get to
Poore's house until the concert was
over Mrs. Taggart admitted that she
did not go there to hear the concert,
and that while there she drank glass
of beer.
She then told of going to her home
twice, the first time finding the door
locked and the second time finding II
unlocked, and entering with Captain
Poore. who called upstairs to Taggart
to come down and then left.
She then, under close questioning,
gave minute description of the fight,
practically the same as she gave in di-
rect examination.
She said she could give no reason for
the captains actions as it did not oc-
cur to her that she had been in the
company of the man her husband for
bade her going with (Fortesque). She
said the captain beat her for three
hours.
Nov, doesn't 1t occur to you that no
woman could stand that terrible beat
ing and kicking for three hours and
come out alive?"
We'll, was pretty near gone"
The torn clothes were then exhibited.
She denied they were torn since the
beating.
Mrs. Taggart admitted she refused
to go to her husband when word came
that he was dying, because she said
she learned he was not in that condi-
ton.
Attorney Sterling then read long
letter written by the plaintiff to the
defendant Nov. 7, 1903, in which he re-
cited long list of her alleged misdo-
ings and told her to take what course
she wanted to regarding a divorce
Witness said she might have received
the letter, but did not remember It.
The occasion of Capt Taggart's COM
ing home drunk in Manila and lying on
Major Newberry's bed was gone into.
