ers to Pay Visiting Nurses

FOUR COUNTIES HAVE THEM.

FOUR COUNTIES HAVE THEM.

One of the bright spots in the
,record of the last legislature was
the passage of the law authorizing
county boards of commissioners to
employ or contribute toward the
support of visiting nurse to give
instruction in the home OF the con-
sumptive so as to avoid .sthe spread
of the disease to other members OF
the family and to a limited extent
take the place of hospital treatment.
Four Counties Have Nurses
This law, Chapter 116, Laws OF
1911, was introduced in the Senate
by Mr.. Sundberg and in the House
by Mr.. Mattson at the instance OF
DR.. G. S. Wattam of Warren, a
member of the State Sanatorium Ad-
visory Commission. While visiting
nursing is by no means as effective
a measure to combat the white
plague as provision of hospitals and
sanatoriums, yet it is, a good half
way measure and the law providing
for it will do great deal of good.
Four counties have. already taken
advantage of this law and appropri-
ated enough money to start the
work. The counties are Marshall,
Stevens, Todd and Kandiyohi.
More Money.Comine
If the work proves successful as
surances have been given that
enough money to put the work on a
permanent basis will be forthcom-
ing.
Those who are familiar with the
surroundings of consumptives in the
country will appreciate the need of
extending visiting nursing to the
country. In Dunn county, Wiscon-
sin, canvass showed only AZ per
cent of consumptives having sep
arate room and Is per cent sleeping
three in room. The use of COM
mon dipper in such families is pro-
baby the rule and sterilization of
dishes and body linen unheard of in
most of them.
Relative Can Hardly Escape
Splitting into containers open to
flies is another common practice.
The delicate brother or baby sister
of the consumptive constantly ex-
posed to infection in these ways can
hardly hope to escape the disease.
,Carelessness is not by any means
confined to the poorer families.
Nine out of ten consumptive homes
need Encouragement under expert
supervision and it is very gratifying
that rural as we'll as urban commun-
tiles are beginning to take this view
of the situation.

WIRE VICTIMS
T0START SUIT
Henry Winter and Mrs. Stew
enson Still Suffer From
Live Wire Shock.

More serious results than were
anticipated may follow from the un-t
fortunate accident in which Henry
Winter and Mrs. James Stevenson
were injured by coming in contact
with live wire. 1t was supposed
that they would RAPIDLY recover
from the shock but both are still in
a highly nervous condition and their
final recovery will be matter Of
some time.
AS result it is said that each will
start suit against the Northwestern
Telephone company asking damages
The contention is that when the
phones of that company were re-
moved from the residences the wires
should have been taken down. In
some cases, at least, this was not
done, and these wires coming in con-
tact with the electric light wires are
charged and dangerous. The. cleo
trio light company is of course not
at all responsible for this condition.
Mrs. Stevenson says she was at
tracted to the scene by the loud
cries of Mr.. and Mrs. Winter. She
thinks that she and Mr.. Winter es.
capped death through the coolhead
edness and courage of Mrs. Winter

Hutchinson Woman Ends Her
Life by Drowning in Cistern
Insanity the Cause.

Mrs. Augusta Mackedanz, aged
SO. ended her life by drowning her.
self in the cistern of her daughters
home at Hutchinson last week.
The body was discovered by the
daughter, Mrs. Ferdinand Schmel-
ing, who upon entering the house
early in the evening discovered the
cover to the cistern removed. A
little investigation revealed the body
of her mother.
Mrs. Something's cries attracted
the neighbor and she was given as
sistance. It was found that Mrs.
Mackadanz had wrapped brick in
her apron, doubtless to insure her
sinking.

Words of raise
For Nick From
Prominent Men

The following expressions of ap-
probation of Mr.. Hunter came free
ly from those who have known him
for quarter of a century and feel
that it was good to know him.
A Good Citizen Gone.
]. P. Cooper: mick Hunter was
a loving husband and a kind father.
Though in poor health for years, he
was always working to the limit of
his strength so that his family might
enjoy all the advantages he could
possibly give them. He was careful
and painstaking in all his business
transactions and any work entrust-
ed to him was well and faithfully
done. He was honest and upright,
a good neighbor and always loyal to
his frien ds."
A Good Man Gone.
Senator Frank Clague: "A good
man gone. He was a lovable and
kind-hearted man. A most efficient
public servant. Afflicted for many
years by poor health, but patiently
borne by him, with cheerful word
for all, and a harsh word for none.
Not cursed by riches, but blessed
with the greatest wealth man can
have, an honest name. Nick Hunt
er is dead in body, but not in the
memory of his friends"
A Prominent Citizen.
Major M. E. Powell: "The sudden
death Of N. V. R. Hunter removes
from earth's activities one Of the
most prominent and highly respect
ed citizens of Redwood Falls. For
more than a quarter of a century he
was living personality in this vicin-
ity. a steadfast friend and a pains
taking official. He will be sadly
missed"
Marked By His Humanity.
Judge A. C. Dolliff: I'm the Is
years of acquaintance with Mr.. Hun
ter, | think what, perhaps more than
anything else, attracted people to
him was his humanity. He was not
removed into an atmosphere of cold,
impersonal intellectually. His
emotions are recognized as being
ours. His strong likes and dislikes
made him very human, and so he
came nearer to mems hearts per-
haps than he did to their intellects.
which, after all. is the attainment
one should seek in life; to try and
get nearer the hearts of men, nearer
their emotions, nearer their best in
stincts."
always A Friend To Me-"
DIR. E. A. Lyman: twenty-five
years of association and Nick was al
ways a friend to me. Always the
same, gentle. considerable, thinking
more Of the happiness of others than
of his own suffering. have rarely
seen man who so bravely endured
in the face of almost constant suf-
fering. l can add nothing that will
emphasize his real worth and man.
hood"
His Heroic Endurance.
Fl. A. Baldwin: Nov that he
has passed on, what can we say? He
was always saying words of cheer to
us. of comfort. of encouragement,
saying them not so much by speech
as by his daily life. That his was a
rare character of gentleness and
heroic endurance everyone knows

N. Y. R. HUNTER
DIES SUDDENLY
Death Calls Popular County
Treasurer While He Visits
in North Minnesota.
MAGfR DETAILS ARE RECEIVED.
Brief Telegram from Brainerd
Announces Sad News but
Does Not Explain.
IN BAD HEALTH FOR MANY YEARS
His Associates Sound His
Praises and Pay Tribute
to His Generosity.
H.N. BELL GOES FOR THE REMAINS
Body Will Reach Redwood
Tomorrow and Funeral
May Be Held Thursday

N. V. r. Hunter died Monday aft
ernoon at Neutral, Crow Wing
county.
H. N. Bell received a telegram
from Frank Kenney, with whom
Mr.. Hunter was staying, announcing
the sad news and informing him
that the body was in Brainerd. Mr..
Bell left at once and will return to-
morrow morning with the remains.
Illness Sent Him North.
About a month ago Mr.. Hunter
went north expecting .sto recover
his health in the invigorating eli
mate of the northern part of the
state. For time he appeared to
be improving and his letters home
were full Of enthusiasm.sand conf
dence.
Kenney States.the Facts.
The real state of affairs first came
out when Charles Kenney received
letter from his brother saying that
Mr.. Hunter was in bad shape, suf-
fering with Bright's disease. Still
no alarm was experienced as it was
not supposed he was in immediate
danger.
Long Suffered With Asthma.
For years Mr.. Hunter was a suf-
ferer with asthma but it was COM
paratively recently that his suffer-
ing was increased by the other dis
ease. 1t is supposed. here that his
death was caused primarily by
Bright's disease.
Plan Masonic. Funeral.
Arrangements have been made for
a Masonic funeral, the Blue Lodge
to have charge of the services and a
meeting will be held this evening
to make final plans The Knight
Templars will act as an escort and
the Knights of Pythias will attend
the funeral in body.
Were at First Doubtful.
Mr.. Hunters friends, as numer-
Gus as the citizens Of Redwood, re-
fused at first to believe the report
when the word of his death was first
flashed around town. The fact that
the message came to Mr.. Bell and
not to the family lent an air of in
credulity to the statement until it
was considered that Mr.. Kenney
had decided it was better to inform
some of the friends Of the family
and let them break the sad news.
News Carried by C. v. Everett and
DIR. Lyman.
This was what was done. 1t fell
to the lot of G.. V. Everett and DIR.
E. A. Lyman to tell Mrs. Hunter
and the daughters of the death.
They performed their delicate task
with consumate skill and impaired
the news as gently as possible.
Mrs. Hunter was nearly Frustrated
with grief when the import Of the
situation was conveyed to her.
