A Sisters HospitaI.

Hot Springs Star: About twenty of
prominent citizens met at the Evans on
Wednesday to hear what Bishop O'Gor-
man had to say in connection with the
establishment Of a Sisters Hospital in
this city under the supervision and di-
rectlon of the Catholic church. Bishop
OGorman is a pleasant speaker and in
an informal way he related the manner
Of conducting hospitals by the Catholic
churh, the running Of them, even to the
smallest detail being left to the order OF
Sisters. The bishop grew quite eloquent
as he told OF the success achieved by
these good sisters in their work of mercy
and the world knows it. A committee
consisting OF Dr. Boyle, Judge Call and
W. H. Stanley, was appointed to secure
and scatter advertising matter concern
ing Hot Springs, It's waters, climate,
healthfullness and general desirabllltv
as location for such an institution,
The sisters will send delegation to in
vestigate and q report will be made to
the proper authorities and the matter
decided. The bishop thinks we'll OF Hot
Springs as a location and if the proper
effort is made on the part OF the citizens
here 1T can be secured.

Birthday Party.

One OF the most successful parties
ever given IN Rapid City was the one
given Monday evening, at the residence
OF w. II. LaBee in honor OF his wife's
birthday. 1t Is said that surbrlse
party that dosen't have for it's promi-
nent element a. complete surprise is a
failure and the surprise element being
SO completely carried out added mater
tally to the enjoyment OF the evening.
Mr.. LaBee, assisted by Miss Lottle
Temple. laid all plans and arrangements
and they may feel proud OF the result.
There we're six tables at which the
popular game of LaGomachy was
played progressively, the winner Of the
most games being presented with q
handsome prize. The ladies prize was
silver bon bon basket and the gentle
mans handsome paper knife. About
half past ten a delicious lunch OF
peaches, Ice cream, cake and lemonade
was served. after which the guests de-
parted for their several homes, all de-
clairing more enjoyable evening could
not be spent.

DEADLOCK BROKEN
What Promised TO be Merry Time Settled
bY MithdrawaI.

by Withdrawal.
What seemed 10 BE a hot contest and
deadlock started at Newton yesterday
when the senatorial convention con-
ve1ed- There were two candida ties and
two counties with ten votes each :. 7.
Banner, the present Incumbent, was the
candidate Of Harvey county, and Royal
Mathews was the candidate o. McPher-
son county. one hundred and forty bal
lots We're taken and no choice, after
which Ny. Danner withdrew from the
race in favor OF Royal Mathews. The
situation was somewhat complicated.
Last year. il appears. some kind Of a
resolution was passed expressing Il as
the sense OF the Republicans that the
atorShfp should alternate between
the two counties every four years. This
seemed 10 he a plain proposition but Il
ives not. Mcpherson county had Sen
ator Kelly for eight years, while Harvey
county had Danner only four years. Nj
Banner held that he should have the
ssaatorShip as long as Kelly had IL. sf-
ter which the proposition 70 alternate
every four years would 80 into effect
In other words. he wanted Harvey 10
start even with Mcpherson in the new
deal
In the afternoon proposition was
made By some one that the convention
should adjourn. the delegates so hons
and that they could cast their votes
by telephone every day until somebody
or some side got tired. The withdrawal
OF Senator DanRer happily solved the
deadlock
