IT COST s145,ooo.
The Entire Cost Of the New Santa Fe
Hospital.

The last money due for work on the
new Santa Fe hospital in this city was
paid by Treasurer Edward Wilder yes
tardav afternoon. This was the dis
puted 81. 200 which was omitted from
the bid furnished by Contractor Cox by
a clerical error
In making up his estimate Mr. Cox
placed the cost of the stone work of the
foundation at 5000. In transcribing
it to the paper furnished Architect Per
lzfns it was written $500. leaving diff
erence Of 81 200. The mistake was
discovered by Cox shortly after his bid
had been accepted, and was reported to
the board of trustees of the hospital
association. The matter was taken un-
der advisement and the board finally
decided that. although the claim was
only equitable and not legal, they did
not want q building which had cost
1900 more than they paid for it, and
instructelp.ALr. Wilder to pay the claim
The payment of the $1,000 brings the
total cost of the new hospital build
ing up to S145 600, or nearly twice the
amount at first estimated

Eastern Republicans Who Have Bue

The Ell Dorado Daily Times (Repub-
Hcan) saws editorially:
There are more boiling Republicans
in the county than ever For the first
time in its history there is a bolt in q
national Republican convention. The
gold plank in the Republican platform
IS most obnoxious and very many life
long Republicans declare they viii not
vote the electoral Republican ticket,
but will remain true to the state and
congressional tickets
The fact is our eastern brethren
have made one too many drafts upon
the patriotism and party fealty Of
western Republicans and many of
them are at the point of rebellion. The
eastern and middle states are enthu-
siastic for high tariffs and dear dol
lars. and the west must for the pres
ent content itself with its raw products
sold at free trade prices and the pI'iV-s
ilege of casting a patriotic ballot, for
the benefit of the fellows who have the
most votes and who run the machine.
