TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES
The Institution Will Commence Its
Work Next Month-Opening
Lecture, Dec. 3.
Scope of the Work--Circular Issued
Giving Terms on Which Pu
pils Are Received.
The proposition for establishing a
training school for nurecs in connection
with the Columbus hospital has now
assumed practical shape and the new in
stitution will commence its work next
month. The first lecture of the course
will be given by Dr. Gelsthorpe on Dec.
3, and the subject will be "The Profes
sion of the Trained Nurse." The lect
urer will give a historical review of the
evolution of the modern trained nurse
and cover the subject in a general man
ner. This lecture will be followed by
others every week. Mrs. Cole, who is a
graduate of one of the London training
schools for nurses, will give a lecture.
The stat! physicians of the hospital, Dre.
Ladd, Longeway, Adams, and Sweat,
will lecture from time to time on sub
jects connected with the profession.
Several other medical gentlemen have
consented to lecture on topics which
they have made a special study. The
aim of the institution is to turn out
thoroughly trained nurses, and its meth.
ode are set forth in a circular which has
just been issued. As the information
contained in the circular is of general
interest to the public as well as to those
intending to take advantage of the in
structions furnished by the school it is
printed in full below:
The Columbus Hospital Training
school for nurses is established to give
two years' training to women desirous of
learning the art of caring for the sick.
Those wishing to obtain the course of
instruction must apply personally or by
letter to the superintendent of nurses
and principal of the the training school,
who will furnish instructions respecting
the personal information to be given by 1
applicants. Candidates must be between
the ages of 20 and 35 years, of good
moral character and sound in bodily and
mental I.ealth. If approved applicant
will be received in the school one month
on probation. During the month of
trial tLe applicant will be examined in t
readirg. writing, arithmetic and English
dictation. This examination is to test
the applicant's ability to read aloud well,
to write legibly and accurately, to under
stand mathematics as far as fractions I
and percentage and to take notes atI
lectures. This amount of education is 4
indispensable for a member of the
school, but applicants are reminded that
women of superior education and culti
vation will be preferred. During the
month of probation the students will be
lodged and boarded at the expense of I
the school, but will receive no other
compensation.
They will reside in the home and serve
for the first year as assistant in the
wards of the hospital. The second year I
they will he expected to perform any
duty assigned them by the superintend
ent. either to be on service in the hos
pital or be sent to private patients on
application, or nurse the poor.
In addition to board and lodging the
pupil will be allowed per month: First
year. %; second year, 812. This is not a
given ax pay for services rendered, as the
teaching given and profession acquired
are considered an ample equivalent, but 1.
is allowed for uniforms, text books and
other incidental expenses to training.
They are re luired after the month of
probation. when on duty, to wear the
dress prescribed by the hospital, which
is a pie blue gingham. simply made, j
with write apron and cap and linen col
lars aid cutif.
t he ddv nurses are on duty from 7::i) y
a. m. to 7::1f p. m , with one hour for
dinner and additional time for seuvy,
exercise and rest. I nless in an crr- r
genry they are given in afternoon dur
ing thi wetk, and half of Sunday, and
one ininth's vacation each year.
Pupslk nre not placed on night duty
until they have bhen io the school three
riontihs
Tne course of instruction will be given
by the iiembers of the hospital staff at
the bedside of patients and by the eu
perintendent of nurses.
A regular course of lectures, recita
tions and demonstrations will be given
with examination at stated intervals.
In sickness all pupils will be cared for j
gratuitously.
When the full term of lectures is ended
the nurses thus trained will be at liberty
to choose their own tields of labor, t
whether in the hospital or in private
families On leaving school they will,
on passing an examination, each receive I
a diploma, and will be expected for the
next few years to make an annual report
to the superintendent.
Applications will be received at any
time.
In addition to the above a limited
number of students will be received as
day scholars. This class is expected to
come to the lectures and recitations and
stay at the hospital at least one after
noon of each week. A small fee will be
charged to defray the expenses of the
school. All women who are nursing at
present and who are not graduates of
training schools are especially urged to
take advantage of this class. Applicants
for admission will comply with the same
regulations as govern the class resident
in the hospital.

At an early hour last Friday morning a
switch engine which was shifting some
freight care ran into a few empty box
cars which stood on the track to the
it smelter, just north of the passenger de
e pot. One car was smashed and another
e thrown off the track, but the damage
was not great and no one was hurt. The
d accident occurred before daylight and
the train crew handling the care with
the engine attached for some reason or
r other were not aware that the track was
A obstructed, and so ran into the empty
d cars In the darkness.

CARE OF CASCADE COUNTY POOR
Since the County Has Abandoned the
Contract System a Saving Has
Been Made,
And the Poor Have Been Bettter Kept
Than Before-What It Costs
the County.
On the first day of last April the coun
ty commissioners determined to reject
all the bids for boarding the county poor
and adopt a new system by becoming
their own contractors in the matter of
clothing and boarding the poor. Up to
that time the county had let out the
care of the poor to the lowest bidder
who appeared to the board to be a re
sponsible and proper person to under
take the work. The county furnished
the house, fuel, and furniture and the
coctractor furnished food, clothing, and
care for those who needed nursing. The
price paid the contractor up to last
April was $4 per week for each person
kept at the county house.
The system never proved very satis
factory, but it was generally considered
to be much cheaper than it would be
if the county undertook the task of car
ing for the poor itself. The figures given
below, however, which are taken from
the county auditor's books, would go to
show that this idea was a mistake, and
that when carefully and properly
administered the county poor house
can be run directly by the county for
less money than it cost under the con
tract system.
The following are the figures for the
first five months under the new system
as compared with the contract cost:
Stewards salary............... $500.00
Feed, etc.... .............. 11s.56
Garden seeds, etc.............. 0840
Provisions-----------------0-. 20.49
Clothing....................... 102.60
Total-........................$1,44105
The total number of days' board fur
nished during the five months from April
1 to Aug. 31, inclusive, amounted to
2,921, or 418 weeks. At the contract
price of $4 per week this would amount I
to $1,672, or about 8231 more than the j
cost as shown by the county auditor's
figures. The average price per week for
caring the poor during the five months
covered by these figures was a fraction
less than $3 45.
The figures for September and Octo
ber are not available as they come with
in the current quarter and are not yet I
tabulated, but they will not materially
change the result as shown above. One
thing which should be taken into ac
count is the fdct that the expense
charged to garden has been really repaid
ten-fold by a winters supply of vegeta
bles now in the cellar, that will reduce
the cost of provisions for the poor
materially this winter. Another fact
which should be noted is that the cost of
administration brings the average up
during the summer time, when there are
very much fewer inmates than in the
winter, as it is a fixed charge and re
mains the same every month. Alto.
gether the new system of caring for the
poor has been a success in every way,
and the county ccmmissionera and
Auditor Beachly are entitled to great
credit for their business-like adminis
tration of this portion of the county gov
ernment. There is probably not a better
run poor house in the state than that in
Cascade county.
BETTER ELECTRIC LIGHT. p1
at
The Electric Light Company Is Impro%- bh
lng the Incandescent Lights. ti
The Electric Light company has been tt
busy recently making improvements in W
their incandescent electric light service. W
Some of the lines have been too heavily r
loaded with lights, and these are being at
changed so as to better distribute the m
lights among the different circuits W
Changes have also been made at the
power house so as to largely increase the ti
voltage on the main wire, while the wires a
leading from it to the lights remain as C
before. The effect of this arrangement ti
will be to give stronger and better lights a
to the public who use this kind of light. h
Last Friday night one section of the b
lights were out for an hour or n
so in the early part of the evening, be- d
cause the woritmen who were engaged in ri
making this change did not get it finish- ti
ed till after dark, and then through ii
some oversight in leaving an extra trans- h
former in. a few blocks, including Tar. C
TRIBUNE office, got a double dose of the
electric fluid over the electric light wires,
with the result that most of the lights
after burning brilliantly for a few min- a
utes, burned out, and left the buildings
e in darkness till the difficulty was cor
p rected.
A IBeiligerent Bovine.
A mad cow one day last week made f
things somewhat interesting for several v
people on the streets of Neihart. Joseph
4 Steele and Babe Marelius were driving a
sp email band of beet cattle down Main
street, destined for Marelius' slaughter
l8 house and pasture, and finally to supply
is the tables of Neibart with meat. One f
- of the number became enraged and
made for the drivers, who were on horse- t
back. They had to get out of the way,
and so had everybody else in close prox
imity. Several times Joe Steele tried to
a get a shA at the animal, but could not t
1s get in position to do it with safety. The
x cow got over into the neighborhood of
e the residence of Harry Lewis, and see
rig Mrs. Lewis in tht yard made a run
for her, while Mrs. Lewis made a run
3r for the houns. Just as the cow was on f
le the point of catching the lady on her i
ae her horns Joe fired and laid the cow out
id cold.--Neohart Miner.
)r Blew Down the House.
t The ranch home of Jacob Wagner,
about 1t miles south of Big Timber on i

e down in Saturday's gale of wind. At I
, the time Mrs. Wagner and two children 1

FELL THROUGH A TRESTLE. d
Jamees ianey Fails Through a Trestle at
the Smelter and Is Seriously Injured.
James Haney, who works at the B. and
M. smelter as a switchman or car spotter,
and who lives in West Great Falls, met I
with a serious accident about 4 o'clock
aturday morning. lie had been at
work during the night 'spotting" cars, i
as it is called. That is, he had been I
picking out the different grades of ores
and switching the care to tie different
bins at the concentrator, according to I
their grade as marked on the cars. For
this purpose he walked out on the trestle
work, near the concentrator, and in some
way missed his footing and fell through,
dropping a distance of about thirty feet.
There he lay unconscious for about half I
an hour, and his companions never
missed him till about the time I
when the injured man recovered con. I
sciousness and started to crac i
up the side of the hill. His groans at
tracted the attention of some of the men
about the place and be was taken to the
Columbus hospital, where a physician
attended him and made an an examina
tion of his injuries. As he vomited about
a pint of blood, it is probable that he
has sustained serious internal injuries,
but there were no outward bruises. Last
night he was apparently feeling a great
deal better and he may come out all
right. The doctors say it may be some
time before the exact character of his
internal injuries can be ascertained. lie

BRAKEMAN SHEEHAN KILLED.
He Fell Fronm a Moving Train and BIroke
His Neck.
Word was received here early Sat
urday morning that Martin Sheehan, a
brakeman on Conductor Al Jewell's
freight train, had fallen otf the care and
I was killed. Just how the accident hap
pened will never be known, as no one
s saw it, and Sheehan was not missed for
I sorke time after it occurred. The train
was moving very slowly at the time the
accident happened, and when it reached
Silver his absence was first noted. Con
I doctor Jewell ran the train back along
the track a few miles, and found his
body lying on the track near a place
known as Billy John's tank. He was
dead, his neck being broken by the fall.
The body was taken to Helena and
turned over to the undertaker there.
Sheehan was about 40 years of age and
had been railroading for about twenty
years. lie was at one time a conductor
on the Montana Central and was well
known among the railroad boys in this
city and all along the line. Ile was a
single man, and as far as is known, had
r no relatives in this part of the country.
lie is said to have been a native of Can
ada and to have relatives living there.

A NEW RAILWAY PROPOSITION
The Province of Alberta, Canada, De
sires Railway Connection with
the Great Northern.
Address to President Hill, the Mayor
of Great Falls, and Other
Montana Cities.
THE TRnuNs bha been handed an
address, signed by the mayor of Calgary'
province of Alberta, Canada, addressed
to President J. J. Hill of the Great
Northern, the mayors of the cities of
Great Falls, Benton, Pacific Junction,
Anaconda, Butte and Helena, and the
citizens of Montana, with a request from
a leading citizen of Great Falls that it
be published. The object of the address
is to stir up public sentiment in favor of
securing a railroad connection between
Pacific Junction on the Great Northern
and the boundary line,where it is proposed
to c nnect with a projected Canadian
line, known as the Rocky Mountain and
Alberta Southern railway. The address
which explains itself is as follows:
GlNTLEMFN: I beg to call your atten
tion and that of all others interested in
the great mining and smelting district
of Montana to the immense advantage
that must necessarily result to you all
as well as to the promoters of these new
railway schemes to have the province of
Alberta connected with the American
railway system of the northwestern
states.
From the Canadian standpoint it
would not be wise to attempt to advise
toe people of Montana as to how far
they should take an inierest in making
the proposed connection by the way of
constructing a line from Pacific Junc
tion northward to meet the Alberta
Southern at the international boundary
line. I would, however, point out some
of the characteristics, position and re
sources of the province, and that through
Alberta is to be found the most direct
and cheapest route from the leading
centers of wealth and population in the
United States to Alaska.
The provisional province of Alberta
has an area of over 100,000 square miles
in extent, and in some parts limitless
quantities of rich silver, copper, iron,
lead, etc., exist. But probably the par.
ticular feature of Alberta which will
most directly interest the miiing dis
tricts of Montana is its vast coal fields.
Anthracite coal with a very high per
centage of carbon exists without limit;
also coal that will produce as large a per
centage of coke as any in America is
found in large seams in many places.
while strong bituminous domestic and
steam coal in beds of wonderful thick
neas is found in scores of places in the
banks of rivers and creeks. At the
starting point of the Rocky Mountain
railway, in the mountains, the project
ore of that line own such deposits of an
thracite coal as are nowhere excelled in
the United States; while the other coals
described are located at many points on
railways now being operated as well as
on the proposed lines. A glance at the
map will show that these coals are nearer
by many hundreds, if not thousands of
miles, to the Montana smelters than any I
other of the same quality and quantity
that ever can be reached by Montana
consumers
The lands of Alberta are very fertile, oi
well adapted for cultivation, dairying tl
and stock raising. The climate is tern
perate and snow fall light. It is watered
through its whole length and breadth by
numerous large rivers of the purest
water, which, when settled by a thrifty
people and connected by railway with
your railway system, would be tributary
to the large cities of Montana.
The dominion parliament, at its last A
session, incorporated the Alberta South
ern railway, which is intended to run
from the city of Calgary, on the Cana
dian Pacific railway, in a southeasterly
direction, to the international boundary,
about due north of the Pacitic Junction,
on the Great Northern railway; and also
incorporated the Rocky Mountain rail
way and Coal company to run from Cal
gary in a northwesterly direction to the
anthracite coal bedp. The latter com
pany has also received from the said par. e
liament a land subsidy of 0,400 acres per
mile, while the promoters of the Alberta *
Southern railway have every reason to s
believe that they will also receive a sim- k
ilar subsidy for their road.
The object I have in view by this com
munication is to induce you to take such
active measures as will ensure railway
connection from Pacific Jnnction on the 7
Great Northern railway to the interna
tional boundary, there to connect with
the proposed Alberta Southern railway.
I shall be pleased to communicate with h
any gentleman who may desire any for.
ther information on the subjects herein
described.
I remain, Yours very truly,
WESIrF:y F. Oti, *t
Mayor of Calgary. t
Calgary, Albert, Canada, Oct. 20, 1804.

That Might Do Considerable Damage to I

Leader Is false, and, as be believes, ma
licious in its intent. The statement in
question reads as follows: "The First
I National bank has brought suit against I
William Albrecht for $4,000." Mr. Al

I sory note dated May 15, 1893, which was
turned over to him as collateral for se
curity by Henry Vogel. The bank
r claims it has a prior right to this note I
and brings suit for its possession. The
action has nothing to do with Mr. Al- 1
brecht's mercantile business,all of which
is very evident from the margin of the
register of actions in the otlice of the
clerk of the court. Printed as it was the
effect could not but harm the defendant
and possibly lead to serious results.
This very material explanation is there
fore given.

a son in good standing, being a member of

about four years and had many friends

ney, who arrived from the mine this
morning. It seems that Stickney,
Acklemire, John Downs and Bob Ackley
were working for the company and tak
ing out ore from the tunnel called the
r One-and-a-half, located about 200 feet
down the tramway. The last three
named were at the tunnel and Stickney
at the drum.
The tram is run on the gravity plan
and as the loaded car went down to the
mill the empty car went on and up to
the drum, being hauled down as far as
tunnel, where it was stopped and loaded.
It being nearly supper time, and there
being only half a car of ore out at the
tunnel, the car was to be loaded half at
the top and to be let down to be filled
at the tunnel and then sent on down to
the mill.
Agreeably to this plan Mr. Stickney
had filled the car halt up at the top of
the tramway and turned to give the eig
nal to those below and let off the brake,
when, suddenly, the rod holding the car
to the cable broke, and it flew down the
tramway and on to the unsuspecting
men in the tunnel, bounding clear over
Acklemire and striking Downs and Ack
ley with its awful force.
1)owns was picked up near the tunnel
and lived until midnight. Ackley rolled
down the tramway 5i00 feet to the mill
house and when picked up was dead.
ST. ANDREW'S DAY.
The Caledonian Club iHas Its Prepara
tions Completed for Celebrating
the Day.
The Caledonian club have completed
their arrangements for celebrating the
natal day of the patron saint of Scot
land. When the Scotchmen and their
ladies assemble for a social evening
something good can always be depended
on, and the following program bears out
the assertion.

The Caledonians have to be congratu
lated on securing the Alton club, which
will be a very special feature of the
evening's program.
At this entertainment the above club
will make its first appearance, and it is
safe to guarrantee something good. Al
though this hand may not be generally
known yet it has been in active exist
ence for some time.
Judging from the showing made at
the last rehearsal one would have sup
posed they were professional players.
The writer went there on invitation and
was pleasantly surprised to hear this
new band, leaving with the feeling that
the evening spent with the musicians
had only one fault- -namely, it was not
long enough.
It is to be hoped that they may be en
couraged in their new venture because
the organization is a very desirabie one
to have in the city.
The committee desires that all the
members should send in their names to
J. M. McDonald and K. Murray at once
so that invitations can be sent them in
good time; also the names of their
friends whom they wish to have invited.
