DECIDES TO ADMIT WOMEN.
English College Of Physicians and
Surgeons Takes Advance Step.

There is much Joy in the ranks Of
women doctors and students in Eng.
land at the decision Of the Royal Col
lese Of Surgeons to open its doors to
women. The Royal College Of Physi.
clans recently came to a similar de-
cision, and before long. when the
necessary regulations have been
made, it will be open to women to
take the degrees of m. R. G. s." and
IL. R. c. p" while they will also be
able to attain the higher degree Of
Fellow. The London Express quotes
a woman physician on the new order
of things: $50 far as l am aware,
every other body in the British isles
which gives medical degrees has al
ready admitted women. Although the
College of Physicians and the Col
lege Of Surgeons have refused us adj
mission, women have been able to
take their degrees elsewhere, and to
practice as surgeons or physicians
without troubling about these bodies.
But women felt that It was UNJUST
that they should be held ct arm'a
length by these colleges, az good
deal of respect is paid to. their de-
grees, and we are pleased that the
colleges have at last given way"

A Glove Secret,

"The only trouble about these wash

dry, after washing. SO very stin and
board-like." The salesman wrapped
the. soft, pale yellow gloves in tissue
paper. THAT is easily remedied," he
said. "I'll tell you how to wash the
gloves so that they will dry soft and
pliable, the same as new. After you
have rinsed them quite clean dip them
in final bath Of fresh water and rub
plenty Of soap into them. drying them
without rinsing this last soap out,
The soap left in the gloves makes
them wonderfully soft-they don't
then need, after drying, to be rubbed
soft with ten or fifteen minutes' hard
labor. This soap secret being used
wash gloves are quite perfect. Il IL
no wonder they are completely super
seding the expensive kid glove, for
they are half as cheap again, and
their washing is so easy-do them 81

MRS. LLOYD NOT GUILTY.
Eagle Grove chambermaid Was Ac.
cused of Robbinq Hotel Guest,

Special to Times Republican
Eagle Grove, May 31.-Mrs. Marie
Lloyd is not guilty. This was the YER
dict of the jury~-in the district court
case at Clarion, Friday. The case oc-
cupied the attention of the court for
several days and was of considerable
interest to Eagle Grove people.
Mrs. Lloyd was accused of taking,
or assisting in taking, of some $500 in
money at the Morgan hotel. On April
4, 1905, transient stopped over night
at the Morgan hotel, and it is said he
put his pocketbook under his pillow.
When he got up the next morning, he
went downstairs, forgetting his pocket
book with the roll of bills. He went
back to the room few moments later,
but the pocketbook and money were
nowhere to be found. Mrs. Lloyd was
employed at the hotel at the time as
chambermaid, and later on she was
placed under arrest
The case was peculiar in several
respects The state attempted to prove
that H. L. Cook, the proprietor of the
hotel, was guilty along with Mrs. Lloyd,
in making away with the money.

The study of stairways and the prop

Is responsible for more suicides

Ever since two-story houses were
first built stairs have occupied prom
fnent positions. usually in front in full
view of the street door, where floor
space is more valuable than in any
other part of the house. The front
stair not only takes up valuable space
on both floors but it often spoils the
living room or parlor down stairs and
curtails two Of the best bedrooms up
stairs. On the other hand, the stair
way in this plan not only fills new.

with envy and the contractor with
malice because the workmanship must
be so exact to please the new owner
that he can never get out Of it with a

This stairway is a new invention
which seems to overcome many diff
culties. 1t occupies the least valuable
corner in the house, which is right, be-
cause nobody stays in the stairway
any longer than they can help. You

for opposing their stupid and baneful
policy. They said it was a beneficent
policy, but 1 told them that it re-

The man was novice, and on his
first run there was very steep grade
mount. The engineer always had more
or less trouble to get up this grade,
but this time he came near sticking
He almost lost his head. Eventually,
however. he reached the top.
"At the station that crossed the
top, looking out of his cab, the engi-
neer saw the new brakeman and said
with sigh of relief:

Job to get up there, didn't we?'

brakeman, and if l hadn't put the
brake on we'd have slipped back"
