toen of the medical staff and Miss
Grace Martin. who was in charge of
cottage No. 10, where Miss Ward was
an inmate, was recommended. These
two whom the board referred to as
helpless agents. had been discharged
last week by the board of hospital
trustees for neglect of duty following
the sensational expose of Miss Wards
case.
The board failed to discover the iden-
tity of the employee who mistreated Miss
Ward. The attack, they gathered from
the testimony, occurred in the north
kitchen.
II found that the young woman's
condition was made possible by the
lax administrative methods that have
prevailed at the institution for the last
10 or II years.
The most startling of the charges in
this connection was that male employees
and female patients mingled freely in
the north kitchen and its environs and
this afforded opportunity for undue in
timacy.

Attention was called to the fact that

| 8 seems to be unusually popular
wherever it exhibits. 1t bears acquaint
ance. and it's popularity is greater
where it exhibits annually. The Great
W allace circus combines splendor, gor
geous beauty and pageantry. From
early morning until the big parade
passes. crowds of people wait on the
corners and all along the streets at va
rious points of vantage, to see the won
ders that are always presented by this
show None are disappointed, except
those who cannot see the great parade,
| for the Wallace people are in the habit
of presenting their free parade just as
| they advertise. No show that ever
comes here gives as much free enter
tainment as this. Many dens of fine
wild animals are open for public in
spection. and they disclose a collec-
tion of well-fed, sleek and contented
beasts of the field and jungle. Hyenas,
lions. tigers, leopards, bears, Zebras,
snakes. and, above all, a great, lazy
hippopotamus (the biggest in captivity,
are disclosed to the eyes of the wonder
ing multitude, and the display of horse
flesh is feast to the lovers of man.

dens there are scores of others, that
