VISITING NURSE PROPOSITION
In EVERY WAY A WORTHY ONE

The communication published in The
Argus Saturday evening, referring TO
the need of visiting nurse in Rock
Island, deals with a subject which has
already been given more or less at
tention in Rock Island, but on which
up to the present time no definite ac-
ton has been taken. The communica-
ton expresses the opinion of well
known physician, who states: "Condi-
tons in Rock Island are not different
from those in our neighboring cities.
! If the visiting nurse in Moline is in so
much demand, must there not be the
same need in this city,"
The suggestion is made by this ply.
stefan that a Visiting Nurse associa.
| ton be organized, to try the expert
ment for at least six months, and the
philanthropic people of the city are in
favor of such a measure. The work
of the visiting nurse is not confine;

FACTORY BARN
is DESTROYED
Two Horses Burned to Death in Early
Morning Fire at Rock Island
Stair Works Plant.

The barn adjoining the factory
building of the Rock Island Stair
works, Fifth avenue and Eighteenth
street, was destroyed by fire about /
o'clock this morning. Two horses
which were in the barn were burned
to death. The fire was discovered by
a pedestrian, who notified the depart
ment. When the department was sum-
moned the building, frame structure
was all in flames. and it seemed at
first that the entire plant would be
destroyed. The members of the de
partment, however. quickly had tn,
flames under control, and preventei
any damage to the plant, other thar
the barn. The total loss is about $500
fully covered by insurance. The origin
of the fire is a mystery.

service of such nurse for an hour or
two day will accomplish great re-
suits. That such an organization as
Has been suggested will be formed
soon seems certainty. In the mean
time those who are agitating the mat
ter of employing a visiting nurse urge
that those interested in the plan, contrib
ute toward fund which will make it pos
sible for the association to employ
such a nurse for period of six
months. 1t is stated that a competent
curse, can be employed for this work
for $50 month.
Those who desire to assist in the
movement may make contributions &c
the fund through The Argus, and all
such contributions will be properly
credited. The cause should appeal tc
all who are interested in any way in

that the experiment will be sufficient
to convince everyone of the need ans
value of such an, officer.
