Annex by Ordinance.
Attorney Blandford introduced a pc
tition signed by all save three of the
residents of Green's first addition,
asking for annexation by ordinance.
This is asked, he said, to save the city
the expense of a special election. At
any election at this time, too, it would
be hard to get enough voters interested
to pass the annexation. SO it will prob
ably be brought in by ordinance, ac-
cording to the city's charter The mat
ter is in the hands of the judiciary
committee.
Fire Auto Again.
Councilman Lehn introduced a state
ment showing the cost of an auto
chemical and hose wagon, and it's cost
for maintenance. 1t would cost, ac-
cording to THE statement, $45OO, and
it would cost but s10O to run it for one
year. A new hose wagon, which will
soon be a necessity, will cost $1,000.
Feed and care of the horses will come
to $646.50. Two less men would be re-
quired to operate the new apparatus,
which would mean a saving of $1440.
The chemical now in use could be sold
for $500, the horses for $500 and the
harness for 500. Thus the cost against
the horse apparatus would be $4,4S6.50.
This leaves a balance of s113.50
against the auto wagon for the first
year; but after that the balance will
be much in favor of the new appara-
tuS.
After some discussion, pro and con.
it was decided not to act at present
and the understanding is that action
will be taken in the spring.

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-The national
democratic committee has an affidavit
signed by a Minneapolis firm saying
they bought bill of goods from a
New York wholesale house, signing 1t
as usual, and that then the salesman
Of the New York concern asked them
to sign another order for the same
goods, and write thereon:
ITO be filed if w. H. Taft is elected"
The order was intended by the Mime
apolis firm as an unconditional one,
but it was the evident purpose OF the
New York salesman to use the dupll-
cate order for political purposes.
The national republican committee
has been exerting itself to create an
impression among business men the
country .,"er that only Taft's election
would revive business.
Some Fake Orders.
Chicago newspapers, all republican,
several times have printed assertions
from heads of wholesale houses here
saying they are receiving orders to be
filled if Taft is elected. The Minneap-
oils affidavit is taken as proof that
such action is concerted, and that
campaign of scare has been begun on
businessmen.
The claim is now officially made by
the democratic national committee that
Bryan's canvass and discussion have
won the 1908 fight, and as it stands
today Bryan is elected.
Two things only, so they say, remain
whereby Taft managers could win, first
by frightening business men, and sec
ond by raising an immense corruption
fund for use in New York, Indiana
and Ohio
The scare is already being tried, but

the surgeon general and prepared
for any sort of duty. Several OF
these women win be sent TO the
United States naval hospitals In Yoke
hama, the Philippines and Hono'alu.
while others will be stationed in The

Miss Hassons selection 10 head tho
new corps Is wholly due TO her record
OF exceptional merit and almost llfe-
time spent In the caro- OF the sick.
Her record during the SpaDish.Amesh
can war and since that time Is equaisd
by few other women In the annals %

Although Baltlmorean by birth.
Miss HaBson has since her early child
hood been only a short time In any one
city, as her family for generations
has been connected with the army and
was constantly travelling. In 1895 she
was graduated from the Connecticut
Training School for Nurses, and until
the outbreak OF the war she was sta
toned at several hospitals In New
York. For more than three years she
served In the war. first In the camps
In this country and later on the hos
pital ship Relief. In Cuba and Porto.
Rico. After the close Of the war she
was sent TO the Philippines. where che
remained for two years at the First
Reserve hospital In Manila, and at n
hospital In Luzon. Since that time she
has been engaged In private nursing.
Her army training has made her en-
thusiastic over tho prospect OF build
ing up nurse corps for the navy. She
Is a great believer In the efficiency OF
women as nurses, even on the field OF
battle. and. although fho is extremely
reticent concerning her record, ON
GERS who served near her In the war
tell that many American soldiers owe
their lives TO her care and perseyer-
ance. At present she Is the hlghest
paid woman IN the navy department.
her salary being s1,s00 year Before
her appointment she was compelled
20 take IA rigorous examination at the
hands Of a board OF surgeons, and her
high marks demonstrate that she ~

An unusual feature OF Miss Hasson's
genealogy II the fact that relatives OF
hers have served in practically every
war which has been undertaken by the
United States A greatgrandfather ON
her mothers side WAS one OF those
who fought under Braddock In the
French and Indian war, her great
grandfather on her fathers side took
