Card to the Public

The Benedictine Sisters desire to ex-

the Inauguration of the work for their
new hospital building, in the actual
beginning Of the grading for the site.
The sisters have continually met kind
ness and only kindness from the citi-

ing itself in the zeal and faithfulness
of the soliciting committee; in the gen.
erous responce to it's appeals; in the
enthusiasm of the dauntless Hospital
Union and in the ready assistance and
patronage afforded that organization.
Hitherto it has been impossible to
afford definite information regarding
the value and size of the proposed
hospital building; but now arrange
ments have SO far progressed that
questions in regard to the matter can
be answered with decision as we'll as
with pleasure. The work of the Sisters
is to care for the sick. May their
friends in Hot Springs never ueed
their services! But if illness comes to
them and the hospital can help. them
the sisters will feel the donble pleas

THE HOSPITAL ASSURED.
"A $4,000 Building Guaranteed by the
Sisters. Hot Springs Raises $4,000.


the erection of a Hospital building
by the Benedictine Sisters is assured.
The building will be located upon the
ground as before described, about fifty
feet north of the Gillispie hotel. 1t
will be of stone, 40 by 60 feet, two
stories high, with third story some-
thing after the style of the top story
of the Gillispie.
The total cost of the building will be
not less than $4,000, of which the
citizens of Hot Springs have subscribed
$1,000, and the Benedictine Sisters are
to expend not less than Sc, 5000. Steam
heat will be used, the combined engine
house and laundry will be separate
in the rear of the Hospital
Excavating for the foundation has
already begun, Dan Larson having the
work in charge.
The splendid response by the people
of Hot Springs to the cal, for aid to
the enterprise has been most gratify-
sng. The committee says "with only
three or four exceptions, the people of
Hot Springs have again shown their
loyalty to their town in the way that
counts" The donations by the citi-
zens are cash $1,000 and in real estate
a location in the center of the business
part of town, 15ox125 feet, worth at
least 1000.
The work will be pushed as rapidly
as the weather will permit.

GAMBLE GETS ToGA
Legislature Formally Elects Congressman
Gamble United states Senator
ON Tuesday.

ON Tuesday.
Pierre, S. d., Jan. 22.-In the house
today the name of Gamble for the SEN
ate was presented by Mr.. Price, and
that of Pettigrew by Gross. The vote
; was: Gamble 10; Pettigrew, 8.
In the senate Senator Edgerton pre-
sented the name of Gamble and Sena-
tor Martin that of Pettigrew, the vote
being: Gamble 3S; Pettigrew, 3.
The total gave Gamble lib; Petit
grew 13.
w. G. Bower was placed ON the list
of committee clerks.
IN the house petitions were pre-
sented for state immigration bureau
and for letting county printing by bids.
Mr.. Stransky presented resolution
condemning the issue of s25O,OOO emer-
gency warrants by the treasurer and
requesting the governor to withdraw
his consent to the issue.
In the senate Martin introduced a
resolution cc.ao.ln;ng tho issue of
emergency warrants. Bills were intro
duced to license pool rooms and to
prevent the establishing of wholesale
liquor houses in towns of less than
1000.
Gov. Herreid is again confined to
his room by the grip.
Mr.. Benedict's bill No. 40 amends
the law regarding tax sale certificates
in such manner that the treasurer need
not make certificate of sale where
the real estate is bid i'll by the county.
Mr.. Bcnedict's bill No. 43 is intended
to stop the advertising year after year
of lands that have once been sold for
taxes and bid in by the county. But
it provides that the purchaser of such
lands must pay the taxes which have
subsequently accumulated unless COM
promised according to law.
1t is likely that the legislature will
pass bill empowering the governor
to appoint the secretary for the rail-
road commissioners. There has been
a deadlock on the board of commission
ers, and it does not appear likely that
the three members can agree on man
for the place very soon.
Bills have been introduced to make
the compensation of county commits
sioners s. per day and five cents per
mile. the total not to exceed $500 per
year; to appropriate $1,000 for an arte-
sian we'll on school lands in Fall River
county.
Senator Leach of BonHomme county
is not in favor of removing the capital,
but he has a plan that he would like to
sac put into effect if the capital should
ever be removed. 1t is that the state
buy section of land at some accessi-
blepoint, outside the limits and distant
from any existing town, and establish
the capital thereon. He believes the
sale of lots would moro than pay for
good buildings and keeping them in
repair, and the state would save the
agonies of another campaign, long
period of litigation, and possible loca-
cation of the seat of government at
some place not easily reached.

The rule adopted by the school boa ard
requiring all pupils to be vaccinated is
not accepted with favor by some who
are opposed vaccination. Mrs. Frank
Jackson objects to it and wrote Attor
ney General Pyle to know if the school
board had the athority to eXpel child
rem who we're not vaccinated. The attor-
ney general has rendered quite
lengthy opinion upon the question,
quoting from various decisions of
supreme courts. In summing up his
citations and referring to our own state
law Attorney General Pyle concludes
his opinion as follows:
II am of the opinion that in those
communities where smallpox may
exist or that are in the vicinity of
neighborhoods where it does exist,
that it was within the power and author
ity of the state board of health to re-
quire vaccination of all pupils atten-
ding the public schools Il y y and that
in communities where smallpox is not
prevalent, that the order of the state
board of health cannot be enforced
and that the children of such commu-
mites have right to attend the pub :
lie schools without certificate show
ing that they have been vaccinated."
So that according to Attorney
General Pyle's opinion the authority
of enforcing compulsory vaccination
here in Hot Springs hinges upon the
question of whether or not this COM
munity is near or remote from where
smallpox exists. They have it in
Deadwood and Alliance, on the north
and south of US, each place being 'abont
100 miles distant. Is that near or re.
mote? Thege are probably people
coming from sither place about every
day-so that it would not be very diff
cult, we believe, to show that we are in
"the vicinity of neighborhoods where
it (small-pox) does ixist.
In some portions of the country 1O(
miles would not include 'neighbor.
hood" but in the Black Hills that dis
tance hardly precludes the remotest
points from being neighborly.

MRS. slLKENsON DEAD.
The Esteemed Wife of II. e. sill<enso,,
Dies suddenly saturday
Morning


Morning
The community was grieved last
Saturday morning when the report
was given out that Mrs. Johanna Sill
henson. wife of r. c. Silkenson. was
dead. She was taken sick with la
grippe the fore part of the week and
suffered severely with mains in her
back and over her body-a very com
mon sequence of the grip-but no one
, thought she was serious until Friday
evening when she rapidly grew worse,
and at 3 o'clock Saturday morning
! she suddenly expired. Not only her
loving husband was painfully shocked,
but also w.s the entire community.
while the adopted daughter, Miss
| Emma, who was at Vermillion pursu-
ing her course at the university, was not
aware of her mothers illness: so that
when she received word to come at
once she was in measure prepared
for the sad news that was told her
when she reached Buffalo Gap Sunday
Deceased was born in Sweden Sep
tember II, 1910, was married to r. c..
Silkenson at Yankton, Dakota Terri
tory, September II, 1874. In 1877 in
company with her husband she came
to the Black Hills, locating at Dead
wood, and resided in the northern
Hills until 1856, when they removed to
Buffalo Gap. They removed to Hot
Springs in October, 1891. Thus IN
brief is given an account of the life of
the deceased. She has for years been
a faithful and consistent member of
the Congregational church. Her life
work was crowded with good deeds.
She possessed kindness, gentleness,
generosity. humility, and many other
admirable virtues in marked meas
ure. She was loved by all who knew
her, and her home life was that of a
devoted, loving, thoughtful wife and
mother. Not only will she be sadly
missed in that sorrowful home, but by
all her neighbors and large circle of
acquaintances.
Funeral services were conducted
from the Presbyterian church Tuesday
afternoon ut o'clock, Rev. Pearson
speaking words of comfort, hope and
consolation to the bereaved ones, there
being very large number of friends
present to pay their last tribute OF re-
spect to the memory of their departed
neighbor. The singing by the choir
was stenderly impressive. The l. o. o. r.
lodge and Daughters of Rebecca, of
which latter Mrs Silkenson has long
been an ardent member, were present
in uniform. The floral offerings we're
Exceedingly beautiful and extensive
while the church had been appropri-
ately dec orated by loving hands. AL
together the service was a beautiful
tribute to the memory of the deceased
and one that expressed the high ap.
probation in which she was held by
the community. Accompanied by a
. large concourse of friends the remains
were conveyed to Evergreen GENE.
terry and there laid to rest.
If words could assuage sorrow the
grief stricken husband and daughter
would not be bowed down in griei
today, for the community joins in its
entirity in expressing the profoundest
: sympathy. and would share with the
mourners the grief they bear.
