Councilman Waidele Submits Report, Engelbert Charges Knocking, and Dr. Wampler Makes Retort.

(Continued from Pago One.) I . "Well, I don't know, you and I belong to the name church, so I won't say anything," Engelbert replied. Aaka an Explanation. "You're at liberty to tell any thing ;and I Invite you to do it," naid Waidele, and don't let religion stand in the way of your telling it. Mr. President, Engelbert Is placing me in an awkward position because I don't know what he is talking about and I can't answer him." In the meantime Dr. Wampler who had taken a scat in the rear of Engelbert's dettk was conversing with another interested citzen and Engelbert 'turned around sharply on hearing Wampler mention his name. The two .arose to their feet and glared at each iother like caged lions. Engelbert addresed the chair and yelled "I'll protect myself If you won't i do it." Wampler asked to talk and the mayor rapped for onder but there was 'none forthcoming. He rapped again and again, bit Engelbert continued to call Wampler a "denied fool" and "crank" and Wampler continued to reply. The big sergeant was then called upiod and after that there was nothing to At but order, and the council meeting proceeded. Councilman Waidele's hospital report, which will be referred to the "hospital trustees follows: ,' Report on Hospital. It has recently been admitted by the superintendent of the local hospital 'that the average cost per day for each patient is $2. The report for the year inding December 31, 1909 shows that the total number of days for all classes of patients for the local hospital was 103.60. The total number of patients was E48. There Is no diversion made between those that paid partly In the expense and those that paid the full cost or more. There are but two classes mentioned, charity and pay patients. The total cost for running the hospital, $2,529.44. Dividing the total cost by the total number of days and the average cost lor that year is $1.98 If the cost per Say now is about $2 tho high coat of Irving haa not exhibited. On the same, basis except that of maintaining a stflaried druggist and pathologist which the local hospital does not afford, the Indianapolis city hospital reports that the average cost per day per pationt is $1.21. Cliffton Forge hospital, of Kentucky, the cost 1b $1.71, and that includes doctors' aer vices. The average number of patients per day at the local hospital is 20; at Indianapolis 210; at Clifton Forge 44.1. The number of student nurses at tReld is given at 12 for twenty patients; at IndianapoUs, 49 for 210 patients; at Clifton Forge. 7 for 44 patients. This Itmakes at Reid 1 nurse for less than 2 patients; at Indinnapolis 1 for more "than 4 patients; atvCllfton Forge 1 for !6. In the general expense account at

Indianapolis there .are salaries to be

paid for druggfHt r graduate pharma

cist and a pathologist at about $1,500

Bach per year and cfor an expert X-ray

inn. In the general account at Reid

rttoese services are not afforded. The Indianapolis and Clifton Forge hospitals are run by doctors. Reid hospital is run by a laity board of nominally ten men, but practically three men who are known as an executive ; committee. Dr. Grant gave the Reid hospital a first class X-ray machine.

management the past two years it has been permitted to go out of commission because no one was permitted to take care of it. Persons have to go to Indianapolis or Cincinnati for this work or else have it neglected. The total salaries at Richmond for taking care of twenty patients is $6,886.16; the same at Indianapolis, $24,555.96 for caring for 210 patients; at Clifton Forge with the doctors' salaries $12,545 for 44 patients. The hospital recently got an allowance from the city amounting to $4,500. It was claimed that it was for more nurse quarters and for a laundry. Tho exact figures for each department were not given. It was not stated whether the nurse quarters were for Buch nurses as cared for the charity cases or for the extra nurses employed who came to the hospital to take care of the pay patients who want an especial

nurse to wait entirely upon them. The laundry account is mixed with the sundry account and in this it is stated that the most of that account is for laundry. If the exact account of the laundry is not known, how do they know after expending money on buildings for the laundry, machine equipment, salaries for launders and laundresses, and laundry supplies, light, and heat and power, whether the investment will pay? All of these things cost money to run besides the upkeep of repairs. What reason is there to suppose that there will be any saving. From all reasonable figures it looks like it would not be as expensive to have the work done at local laundries. What bids were let for the print: ing of the catalog when the hospital was open or was the premium let to a member of the board of trustees? What printing bids were let for the printed report of 1909 or were they let to a member of the board without competition? The railroads pay $1.50 per day. If the average cost is $1.98 a day why cannot they be asked to pay their full share? Must the city pay the difference? Or is it because the railroads who run their own hospitals, through their surgeons know that the cost ought not to be more than $1.50 per day? Yours, respectfully, Frank L.

STORY SURROUNDS A MANDOLIN THEFT

Tale of Love and Jealousy Unfolded in the Police Court Monday.

Behind the arrest of Horace Jones and Charles Vazen, aged 19 and 17 respectively, for the theft of a mandolin, which was left in custody of Mason Berton, with whom Vazen and Jones roomed, at 25 North Seventh street, is concealed a story of love and jealousy. The tale was partly developed in police court Tuesday morning. The name of the girl is still concealed, but the story was not spoiled because of the refusal of the three swains, two the persecuted, and the third the prosecuting witness, to give her name. On Sunday night Berton who had been left in charge of the effects of Ray Seal, which included the mandolin, while Seal was at Brookville, had a quarrel with Jones and Vazen over the girl. Some things were said which were not repeated in court, but the friendship between Berton and the other two ceased. On Monday night the plot developed a little further when Vazen and Jones took the musical instrument and pawned it for a dollar with a South Sixth street dealer. Later they were arrested and both were found guilty of petit larceny, in police court Tuesday and sentenced to the county jail for 15 days and fined live and costs. Berton told how he had been "cheated"' out of his girl some weeks ago by stories Vazen and Jones told, and which when he found untrue, prompted him to rereturn to the girl and again seek her favor. Berton says that it was then that the feud developed in earnest. He accused one of the two with having taken the girl's watch on the pretext of having it repaired. The watch is still with the jeweler with $6.50 marked against it. Berton did not state whether he would seek further favor with his girl by returning the gold time piece. Berton and Vazen came to Richmond from Chaldoi, Pa., last July. Jones was taken in by the other boys. Berton works in a factory but he said the other two were loafing.

The Primitive Man. "Jonea is so dreadfully primitive!" "What's bis latest'" "Why, we were at the opera house the other night, and a stage hand removed a table, and Jones yelled "Supe, anpe!" We were dreadfully mortified." "I was at a dinner the other night, and Jones sat next to me. When he saw the row of spoons and forks and knives beside his plate he beckoned to the waiter. 'Say, boy,' he hoarsely mattered, '1 guess you spilled the spoon bolder!' " -Well, It's lucky he's rich." "Ain't itr-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A Science With Some Dealers Done at the Expense of the Public There is nothing "just as good" as Newbro's Herpicide. Some dealers will even go so far as to tell you they have something better. That dealer has an axe to grind. You can't stop his grinding, but you can prevent him grinding it at your expense. There is one sure, swift way to do it. Go where you can get what you ask for. You won't be obligedto do tjnis very often, as fortunately the majority of druggists are honest and conscientious. Newbro's Herpicide has been so long and favorably known as the original dandruff germ destroyer that no one should be deceived. When you need a hair remedy, you don't want one which merely promises to kill the dandruff germ and prevent the hair from falling. You want one that will do it. Herpicide does it. The hair becomes soft and lustrous. There is life, snap and beauty where formerly the hair was dead, dull and brittle. Newbro's Herpicide is sold and guaranteed by all druggists. Applications of this wonderful prophylactic may be obtained at the best barber shops and hair dressing parlors. Send ten cents in postage or silver to The Herpicide Co., Dept. R., Detroit, Mich., for a nice sample of Herpicide and a booklet telling all about the hair. A. G. Luken and Co., Special agents.
