nurse. From there she went to the
Sisters of st. Vincent de Paul, Paris
to study their methods of nursing
and hospital management. In Eng

Crimea, she reorganized the Harley
Street hospital in London. and on
her return from the war in 1856
she established training colleges TO,

TIoN BROUGHT BY A
sTOCKHOLDER.

New York. May 17.-Arguments
were begun today in connection with
an application for the appointment
of receiver and the dissolution OF
the United States Express company
The application was made by John
L. Dudley, of New York, who says
that he is stockholder. He applied
for writ to compel Edward. T.
Platt, treasurer of the company, to
permit an examination of the COM
pany's books. The defendants
named are: Former Senator Thorn
as Platt, his sons, Edward T. and
Frank H., James G. Fargo. presi-
dent of the Wells Fargo Express
company and director of the United
States Express company, Levi G..
Weir, president of the American Ex-
press company, and former director
of the United States Express COM
pany, Francis L. Stetson and Chaun-
cey H. Crosby. 1t is asserted that
the defendants have squandered the
assets of the company, that they
have paid dividends imperilling the
capital, that they have voted them
selves fancy salaries and that they
have surrendered much business to
rival companies. 1t is also alleged
that the meetings of the stockhold-
ers to elect officers were not held
for 46 years and that vacancies in

board of directors, whose members
own less than one half of one per

The Hole is still There.

Mayor Chauncey L. Wood has an
orchard and the small boys of Rapid
City know it. Once the mayor took
pride in those fruit
bearing trees. AS fact of the mat
ter he still gives that orchard con-
siderable attention and there are at
least few persons who look upon
those trees with envy. When the
mayor started in to raise fruit. he
erected a fence about his lot. This
consisted in part of wire netting.
Last year the small boys in the
neighborhood burrowed through that
fence. The hole is still there. 1t
is about as big as "a barrel. Mr..
Wood has decided to leave it there
and those small boys will be happy
when they learn Of his decision.
