ard of Their Profession.
No Attempt Will Be Made to
Control the Prices.
Officers Elected and the By
laws are Adopted.

crora Fridays Daily.
Trained nurses of Minnesota have
affected permanent organization to
be known as the Minnesota State
Nurses association A meeting was
held in St Paul and about 100 nurses
were present from various parts of the
state
The preamble of the constitution de-
clares that 1.-The object of this associa-
ton shall be the organization and reg
istration of the nurses of Minnesota,
the advancement of all interests which
pertain to the profession, the further
ance of the efficient care of the sick and
the establishment of professional reel
procity between the nurses of Minneso-
Ia and the nurses of other states and
countries"
The officers of the association en-
phatically disclaim any other object on
the part of the organization than that
set forth in the preamble, and wish the
public to understand that the associa-
ton is not a labor union in the sense of
attempting to control compensation,
and that it is not affiliated with any
federation of labor There has been
no attempt to fix a standard of wages,
the subject does not appear in the con-
stitutiOn and was not discussed at the
meeting.
One of the primary objects which
led to the formation of the association
was to secure the passage of COM
pulsory registration law in Minnesota.
The object of the state registration is
to give the properly trained nurse the
title of registered nurse to distin
guish the properly trained nurse from
those whose training has been defec
tive, and to raise the training schools
to such a standard that their graduates
may be eligible to such registration.
The constitution declares that all
members must be graduates of an sin
corporated school, requiring at least
two years study.
These officers, were elected: Presi-
dent, Mrs. Alex Colvin, graduate of
Johns Hopkins hospital; first vice pres
ident, Miss Rankillene, st. Barnabas
hospital, Minneapolis; second vice pres
ident, Miss Whittacre, Brainerd; sec
rotary, Miss Cannon, city and county
hospital, st. Paul; treasurer, Miss
Wood, st. Luke's hospital, st. Paul;

WILL BUILD THEL|NE
Milwaukee Not Makinga Bluff,
That's a Certainty.
Road From Good Thunder to
Albert Lea.
Men and Teams Put at Work
This Morning.
Machine That Will Grade a
Mile Per Day.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
If anyone is of the impression that
the Chicago. Milwaukee and ST. Paul
Railway company is attempting to ring
in bluff on the Captain Reed road, a
trip to Good Thunder will disabuse his
mind instantly. The Milwaukee road
will build cutoff from Good Thunder
to Albert Lea via Cream and Freedom.
This is a certainty. Yesterday a special
train reached Good Thunder over the
Milwaukee. 1t was loaded with horses,
graders, scrapers, and other railroad
constructing paraphernalia, besides a
number of men. There were sixty
teams in ALL This morning the outfit
commenced work on the new line.
Ground was. broken just beyond the
railroad bridge south of Good Thunder.
Mcintosh Bros. of Dubuque are the con-
tractors.
Right -of-way has already been pur-
chased through several farms in the
neighborhood. Ralph Schneiderham was
paid at the rate of $50 per acre; Mr..
Steinberg 500 an acre and Emil Doer-
ing 500 per acre.
Joseph Keuer, the well-known miller,
was in from Good Thunder today, and
he made the statement that all of Good
Thunder is of the belief that the road
will be constructed In fact, the people
there have no reason to doubt that the
Milwaukee is making good to protect
its territory against the invasion of
the north and south road, which
Captain Reed and his people are build
ing from Albert Lea to Mankato.
Mcintosh Bros. have a machine at
work that will grade mile per day.
The fact that such an apparatus has
been put into operation indicates that
the Milwaukee company is anxious to
have the road completed within the
shortest possible time.
Huburt Bruels, vice president of the
Duluth, st. Cloud, Glencoe, and Manka-
to road was in Mankato today. He
said that he was like a good many
other people-in the air as to what the
intentions of the Milwaukee really are.
But at that, it would make no differ
ence, Mr.. Bruels said. The north and
south road will be constructed, regard
less of the move of the Milwaukee to
build from Good Thunder to Albert

ENGINE TOPPLED OVER.
Driver and Fireman Have Narrow Es-
cape Near St. Peter.

st. Peter, Oct. l3.-One of the locomo-
tiyes being used in the construction work
on the Omaha between this place and
Ottawa was wrecked on a temporary
bridge over Paul's creek. As the engine
ran out upon the trestle work, the rails
spread and the tender left the track. 1t
was overturned and appended, obstruct
ing the door of the cab and cutting off
the escape of Thomas Shook, the engi-
neer, and Thomas Little, the fireman,
both of st. Paul. BY miracle the en-
CINE did not topple over into the gully,
and they escaped unhurt.

NO CASH TO MEET LOANS.
State Grants Number Of School Dis
trict Applications.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Applications from school districts for
loans aggregating $2S,745 and applica-
tons from counties and villages aggre-
eating 1926 were granted by the state
investment board at its meeting Satur-
day. The total of the loans granted at
the meeting was $55,0ll.
The number of loans that were allow
ed by the board before at previous meet
ings is larger than the money available
for the purpose, the applications which
have been granted and not paid aggre-
gate a half million. The members OF the
board believe, however, that money IS
coming in so that before the end of tie
year there will be enough to Pay The
applicants.

BEWARE OF AGE NTS.
Superintendent Olson Issues Warn
ing to School Boards in State.


From Saturdays Daily.
Official warning was given by State
School Superintendent Olson to the sup
erintendents and school boards of the
state against the indiscriminate pur-
chase of supplies of doubtful value from
dealers of still more doubtful charac-
ter.
The warning was issued on several
complaints received from counties, where
agents claiming to represent an educa-
tional society had succeeded in securing
orders at a stiff price for school charts
that it was claimed were worthless.
The purchases in question were made
bv individual members of school boards,
which it is claimed is an illegal pro-
cedure. This fact Mr.. Olsen calls at
tention to, and quotes the law which re-
quires such purchases be made only by
a majority of the board and at a regu-
larry called meeting.

Eight Children the Signal for
an 0utburst.
Crowd of Bankers Join in the
Demonstration.
Bunch Was Starting Out on
European Trip.

New York, Oct. lit was little
embarrassing at first, when the presi-
dent began cheering for me and my fam
lily in the presence of all those bankers,
but when / realized that it was intended
as a great compliment, | began to feel
quite battered"
In this way BARLEY p. Oliver, a
wealthy San Francisco man, described
his queer sensations when, on introduce
ing his wife and eight children to Presi-
dent Roosevelt last week at the White
House, the president suddenly called for
three "airsplitting cheers and led off
himself.
The incident happened while the pres
ident was receiving a delegation from
the American Bankers association,
which was holding convention at the
capital city. Mr.. Oliver met the presi
went when the executive visited San
Francisco some months ago, and being
on his way to Europe with his family,
stopped off at Washington last Wednes
day to present the children to Mr..
Roosevelt.
Mr. Oliver walked up to the president
with his eight children following His
wife was last. The president remember
ed Mr.. Oliver and grasping his hand,
asked how everything was 'out on the
cOast?" Mr.. Oliver assured him every
thing was all right.
Then 1 presented my youngest,
John. aged SIX" said Mr.. Oliver. "The
president said he was delighted, and
. John, saying Thank YOU gave way to
the next. BARLEY Jr., who is eight.
Then came Adelaide, IL. and after her
Helen, thirteen and Eugenie. fourteen.
Mr. Roosevelt shook hands cordially
with each one. When | introduced Kath
edine, who is seventeen, the president
exclaimed:
"'And these are all DIVERSE
"'Yes, Mr.. PRESIDENT l responded.
But you have not met them all yet.
There are eight of them
Eight replied Mr.. Roosevelt with
enthusiasm. My, that is fine. L pro-
pose three cheers for Mr.. Oliver
''The call was heard all over the re-
ception room. The surprised bankers
who stood around did not know what
was going on, but gave the cheers any
how. | felt at first as though | would
rather be most anywhere else, but in a
moment concluded that it was a fine
compliment and proceeded to feel elat-
ed. / introduced the remaining two
children, Joan, nineteen and Nora, TWEEN
tv, when the cheers had subsidized, and
then presented my wife.
"'Well, well, you are to be congratu-
lated said the president to us. This
is family after my own heart
''Then, raising his voice, he said, so
everyone in the room could hear:
81 propose three rousing cheers, once
more, for Mr. and Mrs. Oliver and their
eight children
THE outburst that followed" said
Mr. Oliver, almost tore holes in the
air.
Il am a Democrat Mr. Oliver went
on. "but am for Roosevelt all the time.
[ have always believed in him as true,
typical American and ! think he is n re-
markable president"

W. D. MERlCKEL SHOT.
He Is Nephew of Charles Merickei o,
This City.

This City.
From Tuesdays Daily.
Word has been received in st. Cloud
of an accidental shooting at Lake Tray
erse, near Wheaton, Mimi, in which
William d. Merickle, a well known
Eagle Bend storekeeper, and his broth
er, John Merickle, of Bertha, were the
principals. The victim, John Merckel, so
the physicians announce, will recover.
William d. Merickel is the same man
whose automobile frightened team of
horses driven by Herman Blenker, of
Albany, about a year ago, causing the
team TO run away and resulting in Mr.
Blenker's almost instant death. 1t will
be remembered that the widow, through
J. B. Himsl, the present county attor-
ney, later brought suit against Merickel
for damages and recovered to the extent
of about $780,
In explaining the accident whereby
Merickel almost caused his brothers
death it is said that he was shooting
at a duck flying past point in the
rushes where John Merickel was 10
Gated The latter was directly in
range with the duck and received full
charge of shot in the neck and shout
ders. One shot struck back of the ear,
three were in the neck and l3l struck
about the body and shoulders. They
went deep into the flesh and only thir-
ty-one were recovered. The victim there
fore carries over 100 shot in his body.
Had William Merickel fired his left in
stead of his right barrel, he would have
killed his brother, as that barrel was
choked to shoot at long distance. AS it
is the victim will be laid up for a long
period of time His flesh was literally
ribboned as the shot spread out before
reaching him.-St. Cloud Times.
William d. and John Merickel are
sons of Jesse Merickel, who is brother
of Charles Merickel of this city. 1t
was Watson and not William D. Mer
ickel whose automobile caused the fatal
accident referred to. Watson is
brother of William D., and is the one
who was arrested and fined in this city
last year for fast driving with his ma
chine. The family formerly resided at
Grapeland, Faribault county.
