grabbed by an unknown man or boy
ana an attempt made to drag her into

the assailant took liberties with the
person of the child. The terrified
screams of the little girl frightened the
man away and at the same time
arnrsed the. neighbors. The man who
attempted the assault escaped during
the excitement. The child gives a good

past record bears out the story of the
girl. 1t is expected that some action
will be taken in the matter soon.

IS CHARGED WITH MISCONDUCT
Committee Appointed By Judge Church Re-
ports Adversely to MI. Harding

We are informed that the commit
tee Of three attorneys. Messrs. Sims,
Lally and Burch, who were appointed
by Judge 2. A. Church to investigate
the professional conduct of P. W..
Harding has made its report. The
report IS not yet on file but it is said
that there ar. about twelve items in
the findings made against the Denison
attorney. The report of the commit
tee was made after many secret SEES
sions and the calling of number Of
witnesses. Judge Church accepted
the report of the committee and has
appointed Mr.. Sims and Mr.. Lally to
prepare charges and prosecute the
case. We understand that Mr.. Hard
ing has employed B. l. Salinger Of
Carroll and Ex-Judge S. M. Elwood
to defend him. Such trials are held
before the Judge and not before
jury. 1t is probable that the case
will come up for hearing during the
September term, and it is though
that the judges of this district will
probably ask some other Judge to sit.
The whole affair is most regrettable
and we hope that Mr.. Harding may be
able to prove his innocence.

The great bugbear of the sickroom
is monotony. This is the problem that
every. nurse must meet and study
ways and means to prevent. She may
do this in several ways. She may
alter the appearance of the room oc-
casionally by pushing the bed or sofa
to a different part of the room in or
der to give the patient a fresh out
look; the cut flowers may be replaced
by growing plant; old magazines and
books may be removed and new ones
take their place; the pictures may be
changed, especially those that hang at
the foot Of the bed, or perhaps, a
blank wal! may be found to be restful
to the tired eyes-Circle Magazine.
