TUSCALOOSA HOSPITAL
Promotion of Miss Evans Necessi-
tates Change in Management.

A change in management at the
OskalOosa Hospital has been necessi-
tated by the splendid offer and the
acceptance by Miss Pearl G. Evans of
the position of Assistant Superintend-
ent of st. Luke's Hospital in Chicago.
Miss Evans has been superintendent
of the hospital here for just one year,
succeeding Miss Betty StTohmeier,
who was also called to q fine position
as superintendent of the operating
department at st. Lukes. Miss Ev-
ans will have full charge of what is
known as the old Building" and in
which the operating department is
located. Thus the two girls who
have done such excellent work here
will be closely associated and will
occupy two of the finest positions
open to the profession of a nurse.
The local board of management and
every physician in Mahaska county
is sorry to have Miss Evans leave,
but all realized that nothing here
equal to her Chicago offer could be
given her, and the promotion is one
that any young lady might we'll be
proud of.
The local board has secured the
services of Miss Ida Swanson, of
Monmouth, Illinois, also a graduate
of st. Luke's Hospital and a nurse of
varied experiences. She has been
here the past week and has made a
most favorable impression on all who
met her She will assume charge
March LIST. In the meantime Miss
Letitia Brunia, of Pella, a graduate
of the Oskaloosa Hospital School for
Nurses, will be in charge of the hos
pital, that means that every
thing will be cared for in fine shape,
as Miss Brunia is very capable in her
chosen profession.
Miss Swanson, the superintendent
elect, is already known to a number
of our people, being a graduate of
Monmouth college, and being in
school when Miss Florabel Patterson,
now Mrs. A. Rosenberger, was a
member of the college faculty. BY
her connection with the Monmouth
college, Miss Swanson has met many
Oskaloosa people, and in coming to
Oskaloosa she will not feel like a
perfect stranger.

name IS UNCERTAIN
But Identity of Strange Lady is
Established By Miss Brown.

, The ovsrseer of the poor, Miss
Brown, made her report last evening
to the Board of Supervisors regarding
the identity of the woman being pro,
yided for by the Kings Daughters, at
the Oskaloosa hospital. Those who
may be interested were advised this
morning that the detailed infOrma-
ton, correspondence, and the like,
are available at the Oskaloosa Social
Service League office.
From this correspondence it ap-
pears that the woman was released
from the state hospital for the insane
at Lincoln, Nebraska, because her
mental trouble was not thought SER
ious enough to warrant further de-
tentiOn. She left Lincoln for a time,
and stated upon returning to work in
the Central hotel of that city, that she
had been to visit her father in Cener-
Vile, Iowa.
She quit the hotel last fall and was
at the Esther Hospital of Lincoln I'M
dergoing an operation for appendfcit-
Is. She left the hospital about the mid
die of last month. She was again ex-
amined for insanity but was not de-
tanned.
The woman was originally commit
ted to the Nebraska asylum from
Omaha, and was registered under the
name of Josie Pewthe-s, but at other
times she insists that her name is
Jane Smith, and again, Jennie Mills.
In the work of unrayeling her history,
1t was found useless to depend on
names. Upon leaving Esther hospital
at Lincoln the woman had not been
seen or heard from by acquaintance
there till the letters of inquiry ar
rived from Oskaloosa.
During her stay in the Oskaloosa
hospital the lady has proven her abil-
ity as a modeler in clay and wax.
Several animals made from beeswax,
are really works of art.
