A GREAT WoMAN,s WORK.

A GREAT WOMAN'S WOKk.
Florence Nightingale is dead, but
the work she started will make her
memory live in the hearts of genera
tions TO come as her reputation has
invaded every civilized land during
her life time. In speaking of her
career the Minneapolis Journal saysi
Beautiful as were the motives Of
Florence Nightingale's life, and
charming as a the femininity Of her
soul, the significant thing about her
work was hat she first introduced
organization into army nursing. She
was the forerunner of both the human
ity and the business side Of the Red
Cross.
The Crimean War was an excep-
tional badly managed conflict. On
one side it was carried on by three
allies speaking different languages
and following somewhat different
system OF arms. There were mutual
jealousies between the two leading
allies, England and France. As in
the case of u own war with Spain,
raw troops were rushed forward to
fight in a hot country, with the result
that the hospitals were soon filled
with the sick and with inadequate
provision for their care. The death
rate soon rose to the appalling figure
of sixty per cent of the sick and
wounded.
The people of Great Britain were
soon in d state of anger that terrified
the Government. Something had to
be done and in its extremity it appeal
ed to Florence Nightingale. a young
woman who had just completed long
course of training as a professional
nurse. She put popular enthusiasm
back of the movement to save the men
in the hospitals, She paved the way
for such ballads as that with which
Kipling in a later war reused London
to PAY, Pay, Pay" She reorganized
the hospital service, cleaned the Au
gean stables hal passed for hospitals
in which men were dying like flies and
among flies, and reduced the death
rate in a few months from sixty to one
per cent. This was her contribution
to the humanizing of war.
But the Nations were slow to realize
the economic Importance of saving the
lives of soldiers who might be put
back into the field. Great Britain
had not fully learned it even as late
as the Boer War, and America appear
ed guiltless of any knowledge of it in
the War with Spain. 1t remained for
in the War with Russia to
nationalize the plans of Miss Nightin
gale. japan by improved surgery did
much, but she did more by put
ting into the hands of the medical
crops the selection Of the places for
camps. Good water, cleanliness, pro-
per food and medicalsattendance en-
abled Japan constantly to put her
disabled soldiers back into the line,
while with the Russians a man once
out was out for good.
1t is we'll to remember, when prone
to descant upon the superiority of
man over woman, that it was a woman
who taught men the greatest lesson of
their W peculiar game, war.

1t impracticable to do so in the city
has artificial oncs painted on tine

easily. The apartment house in which
the woman lives is on Broadway, and
the effect of the art is very striking.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Market i Steady.

Chicago ILL.,. April 1s.--Wheat: The
market opened steady to a fraction
higher with fair buying by commission
houses and offerings light. An adj
vance of % cent. took place, and then.
on selling by local professionals. the
market broke cent per bushel with a
subsequent rally. Leading sellers were
local professionals, the northwestern
houses and local elevator interests and
about noon running break of 1 cent
per bushel took place. Predictions
were for some rain east Of the Missis-
sippi river and showers in Kansas and
Nebraska. A dispatch from Kansas
City put an estimate of 100000 bush
els on the Kansas crop. Our reports
reiterate the belief that the wheat con-
dition is deteriorating in the south
west from lack Of moisture. The dull
ness and apathy i'm the cash situation
is one of the chief claims of those
bearishIy inclined The outside COM
mission trade is not large which leaves
the market in position t. be assailed
by professional short sellers AS far
as any general precipitation in the dry
districts of the southwest Is concerned.
as far as our reports cover, there has
been none. We still are of the opinion
wheat should be bought.

INJUDIcIoUs sPRINkLINc.
Too Much Water is as Bad as Not
Enouuh.

Minneapolis Journal: At 10 O'Clock
this morning Hennepin avenue from
the crest of Lowry hill down was a
slippery, muddy waste. The hill of
Lyndale avenue north was in the same
condition. Going was unsafe for mo-
tor vehicles. A motor cycle, turning
off of Douglas onto Hennepin and run
ming at slow rate, skidded and threw
its rider almost under the wheels of an
automobile, which was also running
slowly.
On Nicollet avenue at the same hour
there was no water. None was needed
The going was smooth and dustless
despite the wind. Those who have
charge of sprinkling on Nicollet show
ed good sense, while those who look
after Hennepin were careless and
thoughtless A little water iudiciousIv
applied would have suff1ced for Henne-
pin, but enough was put on at once to
last all day. This suited the convent
ence of the sprinklers, no doubt, but
1t was bad for the public which pays
the sprinklers..
One of the most beautiful sights in
the city is the sweep of Hennepin ave-
nue. from the top of Lowry hill down
past Loring park. But this beauty is
sadly marred by turning the avenue
into muddy thoroughfare. Neither is
1t at its best when filled with whirl-
winds of dust. 1t is easily possible to
strike the golden mean when the street
is neither muddy nor dusty. But il
requires the exercise of good judgment
"a faculty in which our street auth
critics are sadly lacking.

Moorhead Department
FROM A
CAR TO HIS DEATH
HANK. ]. WALpRoN, PROPRIETOR
OF MooRHEAD SALOON, VICTIM
or UNUSUAL ACCIDENT LAST.
EVENING - BELIEVED ATTACK
OF HEART TROUBLE.

Hank ]. Waldron. saloonkeeper
First street north, Moorhead, sue
cumbed to injuries received from fall
ing off street car at the corner Of
First street and Second avenue north,
last night, between o'clock and 8
O'Clock. at st. JOINS hospital, Fargo,
where the injured man was taken inn
mediately after the accident. DR..
Awty who attended Mr.. WaIdron says
that the cause Of death was fracture
at the left side OF the skull. The
doctor who attended Mr.. waldron
and the family also states that the
deceased had been suffering from
rheumatism for many years and that
was supplemented by very serious
affection OF the heart.
A few minutes before o'clock last
evening Mr.. Waldron signaled a Nor
NAL school car 1t was passing his
place of business and hurriedIy stem
ped on the front end OF the car and
stood by the side OF Motorman Van
Kleeck, the second oldest motorman in
the street car service. TIE two men
exchanged greetings and Mr.. Waldron
made the remark, "Van / never felt
better in my life" Just as the car
cleared the corner Van Kleeck turn
ed his head and saw Mr.. Waldron's
feet leaving the platform of the car.
The latter was stopped In an instant.
When assistance reached the PROSTATE
form of Mr.. Waldron it was found that
ne was unconscious and gasping very
hard for breath and it was seen that
his head was injured. Gravel on the
left side of his face indicated that
he had struck the dirt on the street
with considerable force. Just what
the unfortunate man to fall
from the car will never be known, the
is that he was attacked
with heart failure moment or two
after reaching the car platform and
probably had not supported himself
wnen the car moved round the curve
which it did very slowly as was no
ticed by eye witnesses of the accident.
The injured man was removed to St.
Johns hospital Immediately after the
accident and he died there as stated.
Mr.. Waldron, 40 years of age is sur
Vived by widow and two children.
He was born at Allamakee, Ia, and
'or a long time had been a resident
If Moorhead. His wife was a Miss
shea of Glyndon and both families en-
oy the highest respect and esteem.
The arrangements for the funeral and
nterment are pending and the OBJ
lequies will probably be held from St |

WHEELER GIRLS
BODY EXHUMED

New York. April 49, - Evidence to
strengthen the states case against Al
bert Wolrer, the youth charged with the
murder Of Ruth Wheeler, was sought
this afternoon in the grave of the young
stenographer. Under orders of the su-
preme court her body was exhumed and
another autopsy was child.
The bones of the legs and arms found
in the fire place in VOTERS apartments,
where it is claimed the body was burn
ed. were taken from the coffin and
turned over to a medical expert. They
will be one Of the states exhibits In
the trial. Mrs. Wheeler gave her con-
sent to the removal.
1t is understood the purpose is to
break down one Of VOTERS chief de-
lenses. His lawyer raised the point
that the evidence does nor show that a
murder was actually committed, or that
the victim was Ruth Wheeler. 1t was
to establish this that the elimination
was ordered.

What's in the Visit?

Atty. Charles S. Marden was up from
GAINESVILLE last night and the fact that
there seemed to be no court business
on some people wondered whether there
was any significance to the brief call.
Charlie" Marden is Congressman
Steenerson's committeeman in this
county, but the only reference to any
thing which could be interpreted to
have the slightest political hue was his
expression that he hoped Moorhead
would get busy pretty quick and make
some display to Mr.. Steenerson that
the interest they had in the proposed
public building in Moorhead was sim
ply doing, and that he might look for
an awakening some time. but joking
aside, Mr.. Marden added that the Moor
head public building was good thing
and ought to be pushed along with a
long pull and pull altogether.
