north from the first hill, about half a
mile outside the city limits, to the

stretch includes in the north mile of
it the low piece Of ground that the
board expected to grade without grad

ward the city so far. From the city
limits north to the first hill the road
runs across the Iowa river valley and
not much grading will be required to
put the road to permanent grade north

The grading to be done in the East
Main street road will begin at the
point between the bayou bridges where
some grading was done last year and
extend toward the city a mile.

HOSPITAL REPORT MADE.
Record For Year Just Past Gives Evil
dence Of Increased Business.

nSCOTO OF car just FdSC 1ISeS EVIL
dence Of Increased Business.
Increased activity in all departments
of the Evangelical Deaconess hospital
during the year ending Feb. 1. over the
preceding period is shown by the an
nual report of the hospital by Rev Karl
Rest, superintendent. The report was
submitted by Rev. Rest to the execu-
tive committee of the board of direc-
tors. which met in this city Friday. A
comparison with the report for the
year 1915-16 brings out several inter-
esting facts.
Over 200 more patients We're admit
ted to the hospital during the past
fiscal year than the one preceding. In
1856 the hospital cared for SS4 and
in 1861 LII. OF these patients S34
underwent operations in the year past,
while in 1855 665 of the SS4 admit
ted went under the knife. The pro-
portion of deaths during 1916 was not
much greaterthan in the previous year.
considering the increase in patients
There We're thirty eight deaths, includ-
ing victims of accidents during 1916
II, as against twenty six in 1915-l6
OF the thirty eight in the past year,
nine were in January, 1911 alone,
L.
This, last month brought the total up
tremendously, as many of the patients
who died were critically i'll when they
came to the hospital, and in some cases
died in twenty -four hours or less after
being admitted.
Another interesting fact regarding
patients admitted during 1916 is that
The majority were men. while in 1915
the reverse proved true. in the year
just past 565 of the patients were men,
and $50 women, while in 1915 407 were
men and AT women. Many Of the pa
tents in the hospital during the last
year were cared for free of charge,
which is shown by al item Oh the debit
side of the report. reading Hospital

plies furnished for the poor. s3.7s4.50."
Patients who gave their nationality
as american" were far ahead of any
other. according to the report. These
numbered 1888, with Germans next,
numbering 100. Twenty -four Nor
wegians were admitted as patients,
sixteen Irish. eleven English, ten Be-
hemians, seven Greeks, and six each of
Canadians, Russians, and Swedes. 9th
er nationalities were present in smaller
numbers. In church affiliations the
Methodists and Christians led with 232
and 119, respectively. Evangelical pa
tents were next with 10S, and those
classified simply as ''protestants" num-
bered seventy EIGHT. Seventy-two pa
tents said they had no religion. Bap-
fists, Catholics. Congregationalsts,
Presbyterians and Reformed were
among the other patients in larger |
numbers.
Social conditions show that there |
were more single people registered as
patients than married. This is account
ed for by the large number of children
who were there for minor operations,
such as having their tonsils and ade-
noids removed. Six hundred twenty |
one patients were single, 453 married, |
and forty three widowed

and most Of them in and near this

would be impossible to get these wit
nesses to st. Paul, and that the case
was filed in st. Paul because OF the
more liberal laws pf Minnesota that
allow three-fourths jury verdict after
a jury has deliberated twelve hours.

The restraining order enjoins Thorn
ton from bringing the case in Minne-

The restraining order, If 1t is made
permanent, will furnish cause for APP
peal to the supreme court, which, it is
said, has never ruled on the point.
