Mrs. DIR. Morrison.
Mrs. Morrison, wife of DE. Morri-
son of Whitefeld, N. H., was next in
troduced to speak on THE Ideal
Nurse" She said in part that a
nurse must be educated and love her
Work. 1t was her purpose to present
j nurse that was possible of attain
ment and said the four essential
things in a nurse are character, con-
science, health and tact and the great
est of these is character. The profes-
sion of nursing is a scientific one
and all her advancement must be
Jased upon science. the scientific
method develops the character and
no true greatness is attained without
character. To deal with life and
cath a conscience is necessary. 1t
is the nurses guiding star.
The successful nurse must have a
sound mind in sound body. Every
nurse should spend at least one hour
of the "a in the open air. She owes
that much to her health. The body
affects the mind more than the mind
affects the body. She then spoke of
the necessity of tact in caring for
the patient and in dealing with the
doctor and closed by saying, Use
judgment which is a dignified word
for tact"
Mrs. Rebecca Fairbanks.
Mrs. Rebecca Fairbanks was in
troduced as the woman who had
made the home possible and the en-
ire audience rose to greet her. We
give her remarks in full.

PRISONERS EARN MONEY.
Sheriff Worthen Has Turned Good
Sum. Into State Treasury For
Work.

While little has been said about
it several of the prisoners in Gale
donia county Jail have been employed
on outside work, earning a good sum
for themselves and 81 a day for the
state. Sheriff Worthen recently
turned into the state treasury the
sum of $344, for work between the
months of June and December and
had paid in $72 before that. This
shows that prisoners worthy of con-
fidence have been allowed to work
416 days. None of the prisoners
have violated the confidence placed
in them and have earned quite a
sum for themselves during this time

Miss Maude Sheltoncger is also
having a very slight case.

According to Mr.. Fee, the union roof

under a penalty of a fine to lay more

VERY LIGHT VOTE
IS BEING CAST AT
PRIMARY TODAY
Little Interest Being Taken
Here in the Election
No Disturbances of Any
Kind.

Not to exceed 10 to is per cent of
the registered vote of the city had been
east up to 1880 o'clock this afternoon
in the primaries with every indication
that an unprecedented low vote would
be cast in the city precincts where 1t
was expected that the vote would be
the highest, although it was generally
expected that the vote would be heav-
Ter toward the hour for closing the
polls, which will be at s o'clock.
The election had been very quiet, no
disturbances of any character having
been reported from any Of the pre-
cincts. Many automobiles are engaged
In coaxing the voters out ut not
withstanding the inducement offered
Of a free ride not many voters have in
dicated a willingness to get out and
vote.
AS was expected, the Progressive
vote has been small while the heaviest
vote has been cast by the Republicans,
those interested in the success of the
80 called business mems ticket making
1t an especial point to get Republican
votes to the polls.
At 2:30 o'clock the vote was as fol-
lows in the precincts that could be
reached at that hour: No. 2, SO; No. 3.
SO; No. 4, so; No. 5, 70; No 8, so; No.
Z, 81; No. s, IS; No. 0, 40; No. 16, 80;
Intermountafh, 81. and No. 10, 11S.
Many bets have been posted upon
the results of the primaries, but not
many of the bets were taken, all those
inclined to chance money upon the
result apparently holding to the same
view. Haines was the favorite on a
3-to-1 offer. but with no takers. al
though several expressed a desire to
gamble on that result but who lacked
the money to back their judgment or
were unwilling to enter the gambling
arena. Even bets were offered that
Eagleson would carry Ada county,
while even money were also offered
that Allen would be nominated. One
bet was offered that Gooding would not
be low man for senator while other
bets were offered that French would
be first.
