M'cLELLANo ANSWERS CHARGE.
Head Of Hospital Denies Allegation
That Girl Killed Nurss.


That Girl Killed Nurse.
Special to Times-Repubiican.
Council Bluffs. Jan. 29.-Robert Nc
Cleltand. owner Of the Tabor & North
ern railroad and also the main support
Of the Presbyterian hospital in Omaha.
who was recently sued for $4,000 in
federal court by the administrator Of
the estate Of Hattie Rosenbeck, de-
clared today that the allegations Of the
petition are without foundation. He
said: THE only item Of truth in this
charge 10 that Miss Hattie Rosenbeck
committed suicide at the hospital on
the night Of Jan. 24-25, 1912. This pupil
nurse took her life by hanging herself
to the railing Of the back perch about
midnight on that date. where she was
found one half hour after her disap-
pearance from her patients room. The
circumstances Of her death were thor
oughly investigated at the time by the
coroner. and by her father and his at
torney, and they all agreed in exon
Grating the hospital from blame. Miss
Rosenbeck was one Of the most faith
full and competent pupils IN the train
ing school and her disposition was so
cheerful and kindly that she was
general favorite. No reasonable expla-
nation Of her act has ever been found.
1.-The charge that her patient, Miss
Mary Stewart, killed her is rlonstrous
and is deliberately false" declared Mr..
McClelland Miss Stewart was neither
demented nor insane and Miss Rosen-
beck's attachment for her patient was
SO great that at her own repeated re-
quest she was allowed to remain longer
than usual in charge Of the case" Mr..
McClelland feels that the charges re-
feet upon the hospital.

Manure for Alfalfa

1t is splendid plan to cover the
alfalfa field with well-rotted manure,
using a manure spreader and making
the distribution even, just before
winter sets in If for any reason
the manure is left in punches. they
should be removed early in the
spring; otherwise, the plants under
meath the punches will die. If in the
spring sleet should come while
snow is on the ground and after part
completely seal the plant that at
mospheric oxygen cannot enter. In
that vent the farmer should drive
stock on the field for the purpose Of
puncturing the crust, thereby admit
ting atmospheric oxygen.
One authority says alfalfa should be
cultivated after the second year. Culti-
vat!on for two purposes; to thicken the
stand by breaking up the crowns, and
second, to destroy weeds and grasses
and loosen up any compact crust that
may exist. Usually the best time to
cultivate is just after the second crop
has been cut. At that time weeds
and grasses have developed and the
ground is apt to be dry. The best
tool to use is an alfalfa cultivator. If
such an implement is not available,
a sharp spring-tooth harrow run both
ways will give splendid results. If the
ground is extremely hard, it should be
run over the ground several times.
A farmer need have no fear of de-
stroying or injuring his crop by
heroic cultivation. If alfalfa is thin,
it is not advisable to attempt to re-
seed, hoping by SO doing to thicken
the stand. The better plan is to plow
the ground and plant to some culti-
waited crop, either corn or potatoes.
and re-plant to alfalfa the following
year.
