According to the report OF the superin.

has been a marked increase IN the mum
Der of patients at the hospital during
the past year. In the opinion OF the ~.

the increased knowledge on the part OF

Eight OF the patients were town or coun-

The report made by Miss Florence a.
regarding the work OF dis
'rict nursing shows that notwithstanding
the increase in the number of graduate
nurses in town, the number of patients
treated through the district nurses dur
ing the past year was larger than ever be-
fore. The work has become more like
regular district nursing in that it has
become comparatively free from contin-
uous evening and all night work, which |
is not part of district nursing but is
classed under the head of special nursing.

which are responded to as promptly as
possible, no matter what the hour. Many |

Tenth District Statesman to
Open Republican Cam
paign in City.
GIGANTIC PARADE PLANNED
ALL PARTY ORGANIZATIONS IN
THE COUNTY ARE EXPECTED
TO PARTIcIPATE-M AT
COLISEUM.

The biggest crowd seen in Rich
mond in months will assemble tomor-
row evening to participate in the op-
ening of the republican campaign in
this city. Congressman Crumpacker
of the Tenth Indiana district, probab-
ly the ablest member of the Indiana
congressional delegation, will deliver
the opening address at the coliseum
and the big building Is expected to be
filled to overflowing.
Delegations from nearly everyone Of
be in attendance and will do every
thing in their power to make the raj
ly one of the most enthusiastic ever
held in this city.

reception committee composed of
Judge Henry G. Fox, Lee b. Nusbaum
and DR.. T. Henry Davis. Mr.. Crum-
packer will be entertained at the
Westcott hotel where he will probably
hold an informal reception. Judge
John L. Rupe will preside.
Before the meeting, which opens
promptly at s O'Clock, there will be
a parade and every republican in the
county is urged to participate in it.
The various republican drum and
bugle corps and the Taft Marching
club will assemble at the republican
headquarters, Masonic building, Ninth

parade will form at this place and
will then march by the way of Main

feel that they could have secured no
better speaker to open the campaign
in Richmond than Mr.. Crumpacker.
He has always been known as a most
sane and efficient statesman and is
popular not only in his district, but
all over the state. In congress Mr.
Crumpacker has been one of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's most ardent support
ers.

Roemler, of Indianapolis, moved
that vote on passage of the Cox bill
be taken at o'clock, unless debate
was terminated before that hour.
This was carried without opposition
and was important in as much as it
revealed a unanimity, to limit the dis

The bill as amended on second read
ing was read in full by Julian Hogate,
secretary of the senate.
The galleries and side spaces were
thronged to overflowing by spectators.
Many of the onlookers wore white

DROUGHT AFFECTS
LOCAL FACTORY
Hours of Labor at Hoosier
Drill Plant Have Been
Shortened.
WHEAT CROP is IN DANGER.
BY MANAGER CARR
THAT UNLESS RAIN FALLS THE
CROP OF NEXT YEAR WILL BE
SMALL.

Continued drought throughout the
country is given by the officials of the
Hoosier Drill company as the reason
for closing the shops one hour earlier
each day than heretofore. Up to the
present time the Hoosier had its force
of men working ten hours day and
yesterday the new ruling of nine
hours went into effect. This was not
much of a surprise to the employees
as all the manufacturers of plows and
other implements that are used on
the farms. have been running short
hours for a number of weeks.
Mr. Fred Carr, manager of the local
concern stated this morning. THE
slump in the sales of wheat drills Is
due to the fact that the farmers are
unable to get the ground in condition
to drill their wheat. The ground is
so hard that as a result they have
been unable to plow 1t for the winter
sowing. The seed placed in the
ground will not germinate and as re-
suit the wheat crop of next year prom
ises to be very small unless 1T rains
SOON"
Notice was given out today that the
office force with all the books and
records of the Empire Drill company
of Snortsville, n. Y, will be moved
to Richmond Monday, a delay having
been encountered.

Homer Stanley took up his abode at

inability to provide bond for $500. He

tion. Stanley is well known young
man who worked as a trimmer for
electric arc lights for several years.
He also has been in the railroad serv-
ice.
The prosecutor claims Stanley de-
serted his wife about two weeks be-
fore she became a mother. The state
claims Stanley knew his wife's condi-
tion and his running away was prear-
ranged. Stanley is highly indignant
toward his wife and the prosecutor,
as the result of his arrest. He claims
he could not take care of his wife be-
cause she would not have anything to
do with him.
